tect him in his life, liberty and property
everywhere, at home as we'll as abroad; as
well in Texas as in Austria, in Coushatta
as in Turkey. 1t is true this is not
the doctrine which the Democrats gen.
orally apply to the South, but they will be
in favor Of it whenever they find their
partisans suffering for want Of it. Polit-
ically speaking, however, there is no need
for hurry in going to the relief Of Texas.
That State is bound to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket next fall, even if every head
of cattle is stolen out of the border coun-
ties. So long as the national Democracy
promises assistance in keeping the negroes
in political subordination Mexican raids
will not be permitted to enter into ma
tional politics, though local spirit Of
hostility and retaliation may be shown.
The Texas as we'll as the Louisiana De-
mocracy are bound to vote for Tildren
and Hendricks, even though not one dol
lar be voted to repel the border thieves
from one State or build the levees in the
other. Not even the the threatened re-
peal of the duty on sugar and rice can
arouse our Louisiana Democrats to dan
ger, or stimulate them to declaration of
independence. So long as Cox, Holman,
Randall, Kerr, Thurman and their asso-
ciates preach sound doctrine on the race
question they may do as they.please about
everything alse.

A SNAP JUDGMENT,

The same irrepressible gentlemen OF
Louisiana" appeared on the platform on
Tuesday night and celebrated that era Of
peace and good will by the bitterest de-
nunciations of their citizens. 1t
was certainly curious occasion to select
for an expression of the most violent
political enmity. 1t was especially i'm
proper to ''cross the threshold of the CEN
fury" with the same spirit of hostility to
the federal government which has involved
Louisiana in SO much misery. The greedy
Scotchman who disturbed the harmony of
the first celebration of national freedom
by clamoring for the settlement Of his con-
tract for beef differed little from those
who make the perfected happiness of the
same great event the occasion and vehicle
for parading their political grievances or
promoting their partisan ambition.
The nationality Of the occasion was
marked by salute of thirteen guns, sew
eral national airs from the band, and a
canopy of federal flags. The resolution
pledges Democratic Louisiana to the sup
port of the party and the men who repre-.
sent the principles of American freedom.
There is in this last no unqualified pledge
to support the republican government
under whatsoever men or principles the
majority of the American people may
prescribe. Beyond this, there is re-
ported not one allusion by any Democrat
ic speaker to the anniversary of American
freedom! No hero or patriot of the revo-
luton is named. No grateful apestrophe
to Washington and the men he led 10
liberty. No thanks to the Almighty that
he had vouchsafed to people, in spite of
the sins and errors in which thew NAV
have wandered, land and laws of
their own. Not a word Of the decla-
ration of independence or of the
men who made it fact. OF
what then were the discussions of this
non-centennial assemblage composed ?
They reopened the campaign Of 1872
exactly where it closed. They brought
forward the same men and the same
issues, they repudiate the compromise of
1875.
We, to whom the ways of politicians
are patent as that of the birds in the air,

THE TEXAS BORDER TROUBLES.

There seems to be two opinions in Con.
gress about the Texas border troubles
Mr.. Schleicher, chairman of the commit.
tee on the Mexican outrages, brought in a
report asking for in increase of the cavalry
force on the Rio Grande, and authorizing
our troops to cross that river wheneve,
necessary, in pursuit Of captors Of cattle
and other stolen property. He supported
the report in few remarks, but was op.
posed by member from Michigan, who
objected to the invasion of Mexican ter.
ritory. General Hurlburt, of Illinois,
however, defended the report with his
usual impetuosity. He declared that
Canada could not have committed one
hundredth part of the outrages imputed
to Mexico, without having aroused de-
termined resistance.
These are in brief, the various views
entertained by Northern statesmen of a
matter in which the people of one of the
Southern States feel deep interest
What the levees are to Louisiana, the
Rio Grande is to Texas. The angry
waters rush over the one bringing destruc-
ton, and predatory bands of Mexicans,
Indians, and as Mr.. Conger declares
depredatirg American.citizens cross the
Rio Grande, seize such booty as they can
lay their hands on and escape back into
the security Of foreign protection. Of
course, such state of affairs can not
long exist. Unless the national govern
ment takes measures to project the bor-
derers, either through the Mexican gov.
eminent or by its own arms, the Texans
will establish system Of reprisals, in
self-defense, which is pretty likely to be
extended beyond the limits absolutely
necessary to effect their first purpose.
Were the Democratic members of the
House half so friendly to the South as
they profess to be, they would have had
bill before the Senate long ago to put q
stop to these border incursions. It does
not require any very extreme or violent
measures, nor much expenditure of pub
lie money. The simple authority of the
commanding officer on the Rio Grande to
offer a troop of cavalry to the Mexica a
authorities when called upon, with a ile-
mand that offenders shall be bro' ight
over and tried on the Texas side, could
soon make the business of cattle ,tealine
and dangerous. We. do not
suppose such a course would lead to q
war with Mexico, nor would i.t be an az
gument against it If it did. The gaited
States owes duty to every citizen to pro-

We have received from Colonel j. F. 81.
Claiborne printed copy Of his Historical
Account of Hancock County, Mississippi"
prepared in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the President of the United
States, and read by the author at the
fourth OF July celebration at Bay St..
Louis. The settlement Of Hancock county
dates back to 1899, when D'Iberville placed
few families at Bay St. Louis. The paper
of Colonel Claiborne il necessarily but an
outline Of history, but it il admirable for
its compactness and the clear information
it conveys concerning the ancient town on
the bay.

Vixen Samuel Jones Tilden was soliciting
votes for Governor it was customary for
him to speak from the rear platform Of cars
at each station. The speeches were short,
and the audiences were worked up by his
railroad agents in advance. "My dear citi-
zens of foreign BIRTH said Samuel, at a
station where he noticed large number of
empty beer kegs, "if it were in my power
to be bern again would be born Ger
German" Faith, what is that yes say
in, anyway" said q man who had been
"worruking on the raleroad.' "That is,"
said Samuel Jones, suddenly inspired with
love for the Green Isle, Elf l could not be
born an Irishman."

WHITEWASH AND LAMPBLACK.

1t seems the settled strategy of the OPP
position to commend every man of its own
combination, and defane every Repub-
lican. This scandal is very complimentary
to those who wish to support the Repub-
lican ticket. 1t implies that any charge
Of dishonor OF inconsistency will drive the
good men from the support of the ticket of
their choice. There is an attempt to recon-
cile the inconsistencies OF the Democratic
ticket, because it is known in advance that
sectional and partisan hostilities of the
Democracy will disregard even the demon
strated inconsistencies or rascalites Of
those assigned for their support.
The New York Commercial has Just re-
capitulated the fraud and corruption of
the Democratic party, which was driven
from power in 1910, by the reformers of
that period.
The party chung to those defaulters with
such tenacity that the Democratic party
went down with them. The inheritors of
this organization now assume that be-
cause they charge corruption Or incom-
potency against certain Republican off,
GERS, therefore the whole Republican party
must forfeit the right to hold Office, and
the Democracy must be installed. We
can not avoid the comment, that while
the Democracy, like the Spartan boy who
had stolen the fox, concealed and de-
Tended their defaulters until its vitals
were destroyed, the Republicans made
themselves the investigators of abuses.
They cast the drag net of investigation
after revenue robbers, punished the IN
worthy Republicans who were caught,
and incidentally brought to the surface

TIE FRENCH MECHANICS.

We publish from the New York Times
the personnel of q deputation sent by the
French government from the mechanics
of France "to visit the Philadelphia ex.
position and inspect the machinery and
manufactures of this country.
Nothing can show more perfectly the
wisdom with which France recognizes her
chief benefactors, the workingmen OF
France. It was these men whose indus
trial economies constituted in great part
the enormous ransom exacted by the Ger
man conquest. It is the polytechnic and
practical instruction Of those intelligent
and skilled mechanics which places them
among the first in excellence and taste
throughout the civilized world.
1t is very important that Louisiana
shall undergo precisely the change that
France has done. For a political nobil-
ity and partisan warfare there should be
substituted such employment and in
struction as will enable all the people to
contribute to the support of society. It
is believed by many that We possess in
New Orleans extraordinary mechanical
and manufacturing resources. 1t is
thought that the abundance and econ
omy of food, the mildness of the cli-
mate, the moderate rents, and the i'm
proved home market of colored and
white consumers, would plant and
nourish the mechanic arts in place of
the pursuit of Office. Such facilities are
especially said to abound in this city be-
low Canal street. The REPUBLICAN sug-
gested the invitation of the Emperor of
Brazil to make his first landing here. 1t
would now remind the mechanics and
landlords Of New Orleans that the advent
of these chosen mechanics of France may
be made useful in the introduction of
those mechanical pursuits Of which we
stand so much in need. This deputation
travels, we observe, at the expense of the
French government, and its duties are
not limited-though its stay will not be
long-to the exposition alone. Already
have other cities in the Union extended
an invitation to them, with an assurance
Of welcome and cooperation.
1t would be particularly appropriate
that this deputation, in whole or in part,
should visit the great city planted by
France in the midst of o province far
more extended than any of her other pos
sessions at that time. 1t would Ioe
eminently proper that those gentle
should contribute by their COUNCILS to a
change Of industry now Indispensable to
the welfare Of Louisiana. Perhaps they
may instruct us as to the propriety of
this or that employment. Possibly they
may appreciate the advantages which we
have alluded, and may recommend to
industrial agencies the great field of i'm
migration. Perhaps some of them might
even determine to transfer some active in
from France to New Orleans.
This invitation would come most prop
erly from some appropriate association of
French speaking people. 1t would rest with
the workingmens associations, the City
Council and the various commercial or
CARNATIONS of the city to cooperate in ex-
tending the Inequalities of the city and
in deriving the advantage of a confer
ence from the visit of these skillful, valued
and intelligent gentlemen
