A Loufsianan's View Of National

Dear indicator i
think that the student of American
history upon comparing the present con-
dition of the United States, in Il Finan-
cial point of view, with the programme of
Alexander Hamilton, dnring his admin
istration of the Treasury Department
un1er Washington, will find very
striking analogy between our present
financial condition and that sought to
be attained, or brought about by Hamil-
ton and his coagutors, and which met
with the unyielding opposition of JEFF
ferson, Madison, Randolph, and others.
Hamilton announced the proposition that
a National debt was q National Lles-

trollsd only by corrupt means; and that
it was necessary to corrupt the leaders
or Legislators, in order to corrupt the
masses, and to successfully perpetrate
this, strong centralized government
was necessary, and to conceal these cor

IMPROVED EAGLE COTTON Gins.
Prices Reduced to ~ Il Saw.

The great popularity of the EAGLE
COTTON GINS is established from the
wtll-kuown fact that they arc the most

Gins ever made. The Eagle Cotton Gin
runs lighter than any other gin, thus;
having great advantage for planters
who wish to RIM Ivy horse power. All
the numerous planters who Use the Eagle
Gotten Gin will certify to the fact that
when their cotton is sent TO market It
always brings the highest market price,
as no other Z in can produces finer or Il
better sample Of cotton than the Eagle
| Cation Gins. Over seventeen thousand
Of the Eagle Cotton Gins have been
made and sold. During Il period Of
twenty years the undersigned has had

New Orleans. lIo hats never had Il gin

THE adjournment of the French Assembly
will give Minister Jules Simon an opportunity
to follow up his brilliant victory for the new
Cabinet by making preparations to meet the
concentrated opposition he is likely to en-
counter when that body reconvenes. The
Bonapartists, the Clerical party, the Radicals
and the Gambetta Republicans may be ex-
pected to unite in opposition to the new
Premier. But in the meantime he uay so
conduct affairs as to disarm them in advance.
There is no doubt but that M. Simon is a
safer, truer and better Republican for France
at this iuncture than either of the class of
Republicans that oppose him. He believes in
holding what has been gained and making
sure progress even though it be slow. He is
clearly the man for the time.
