FLowERs.--Nearly every good lady in
our town this summer Is going to have
her flower bed. We are glad TO see this,
and would mildly suggest to them that
the first point to be considered IN arrang-
ing p ants in beds is to have the tallest Ia
the center with the Others gradually de-
creasing In height, until the margin Is
reached, when the dwarf kinds may be
used to serve as border. The arrange
ment OF colors according to the rules OF
good taste and harmony Is another fea-
ture that should not be overlooked.

This morning our citizens will be
treated to novel sight. Capt. Barrett.
OF the Plymouth, that courteous gen
tleman and chivalric officer, who. du-
ring his sojourn here. won the friend
ship OF the whole community, proposes
to leave us, and in leaving desires to
pay our people compliment. At 8
O'Clock this morning the Plymouth will
leave her anchorage, at the foot OF
Poydras street, and steam up the river
some distance, when she will "about
ship" and pass the city front under full
sail, every stitch Of canvass stretched.
The sight Of sloop Of war under full
sail has never been seen here before.
and It will doubtless draw large crowd
to the river.
The departure OF Capt. Barrett so soon
is q source of regret, for our people had
intended to evidence their kindly feel
ing In way that would have more
thoroughly shown how sincerely they
appreciate the gallantry of one whose
duty leads him to oersail

Splits in the face OF Heaven"

THE STATE NATIONAL BANk.

As will be seen by reference to the
local columns Of the DEMOCRAT, Mr.. 3.
FL. Kennedy, President Of the State Ma
tional Bank, was yesterday unanimous
ly elected Fiscal Agent Of tho State by
the Fuading Board. Mr.. Kennedy
promptly accepted the terms stipulated
by the board. and his command of o vast
capital, with bis superior financial abil-
ity. will enable him without difficulty
to meet all the obligations he has as
sumed. large as they are.
The State National Bank, of which
Mr.. Kennedy is the President. Is the
oldest bank In Louisiana. It was estab-
lished by act Of the Legislature ap-
proved March IA, 1913, under the name
of the Louisiana State Bank. James
Where was then Governor OF the State,
N. Merriam President of the Senate, and
M. Guichard Speaker Of the House OF
Representatives.
Under the original charter Of 1918 the
converted into the State National Bank.
During tho early part of the war this
bank advanced the State, for the pur-
pose Of paying the expenses of tho civil
government, one million dollars. Tt
was then, as 1t had been, indeed, from
its origin, we believe, the Fiscal Agent
Of the State.
During the occupation Of this city by
the Federal forces under Butler the
bank was required to pay depositors in
greenbacks, the dep its made by them
ia Confederate money, and later it was
taken out of the hands of the directors
and placed in charge Of military lqu
dators, who retained possession OF it
until the close Of the war. 1t was then
restored to its directors, who proceeded
to pay off all its liabilities in full to re-
tire its circulation us fast as presented
at par, and to pay also all claims Of de-
positors.
After thus liquidating all its indebted
ness the bank still remained possessed
Of o working capital Of three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, with which
it resumed business, and which it has
increased at various times. until 1t now
amounts to eight hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. This bank now ranks
among the soundest moneyed institu-
tions Of the country.
We have before us five dollar note
of the first issue of the bank, with D.
De Lacroix president, and Richard Relf
cashier. Samuel J. Peters. j. M. La
peyre and Jules A. Blanc were, we be-
lieve, successfully presidents Of this
bank, the latter preceding Mr.. Ken
nedy.
We are sure the public will approve
the choice of Fiscal Agent by the
Funding Board, and will feel that the
financial affairs of the State are in safe
hands

Blaine does not calculate upon the
Southern States, except Texas, making
much progress in the future. He i'm
AGNES that these States have been 80
denuded and plundered by the emissa-
ries of his party, the carpet baggers,
that it is impossible for them to recover
for many years.
Whether he bases this prophecy upon
the advance of about forty per cent in
the bonds and credit Of this State, since
his friend Packard was ousted from his
usurped place, and other equally sig
niticant proofs OF revived credit and
hopefulness In our people, we are not
informed. Upon whatever grounds, how
ever, he places his malsficent prophe-
cies, it Is very evident that, 50 far as
Louisiana is concerned, his venom has
made him as blind as rattlesnake In
August. 1t cannot be expected that our
State will Immediately recover from the
devastation inflicted upon it by the
Radical decade. But that already it
has entered upon career Of revived
prosperity and progress, must be OBJ
vious to all observers.

THE NEMESIS OF NAVARINO.

In 1928 the English people were Sc
duced, by poets, sentimen talists and
the cunning diplomacy Of Russia, into
a violent emotion of sympathy with the
oppressed and suffering Greeks, then
contending against the cruel oppres-
sions Of the Turks. There was Greek
Juror equal in the rapidity and violence
OF Its spread to that of the celebrated
Greek fire which swept the whole Of the
Christian world, including these United
States.
Turkey, having nc press, preachers
or poets, left the field entirely to the
Philohelenists, who grated and sung so
pathetically of the virtues and bravery
Of the Greek men and the beauty of
Solos maidens. that all Christendom
was aroused to mad frenzy against the
Ottoman empire, and q most ardent pas
sion for the Greeks. Even our own
demagogues became possessed Of this
furore, made thrilling orations to Con-
gress and the people, and procured the
passage of resolutions expressive Of our
sympathy, rendering our aid to the OPP
pressed Greeks and hurting our denun-
Citations at the brutal Mahommedan per-
secutors OF the descendants of Aristides
the Just, Pericles the Great, Themis-
tocles the Illustrious. and Leonidas, the
martyred hero OF liberty and Spartan
devotion.
So great was this passion for the suf-
fering Greeks that 1t entered largely
into the pastimes Of the day. Even the
women affecte. Grecian styles of dress
and the Grecian bend became the capti-
| waiting pose and carriage Of ''the period"
Amid this wild and senseless uproar
there was one statesman who had the
sagacity and courage to exclaim against
the folly Of our people wasting their SYM
pathy upon SO unworthy and remote a
people. This was John Randolph, Of
Roanoke, who concluded one Of his re-
markable phillipics against the propo-
sition introduced Into Congress to
appropriate from the Treasury a
large amount to equip national vessel
to bear aid and provisions to the i'm
poverished and oppressed Greeks, by
exclaiming, 1.-THE Greeks TIE Greeks
are at our doors!" meaning thereby
that there was suffering. oppression and
wrongs within our own country, which
demanded our sympathy, aid and re-
lief by stronger claim than any which
the Greeks could set up.
This Hellenic madness, however, led
the British government into far more
serious and embarrassing involvement
by which she was made to play the part
Of tool of Russia, in the execution Of
the greatest Of all the blows which that

The letter of Elodie Richardson, who
was State Librarian under the Packard
government, addressed to Emile Hon.
ore, Packard's Secretary OF State, is an
entertaining document. This letter
shows the manner in which the Radical
officials blackmailed their appointees.
Honore appointed this woman librarian,
and, as her letter shows, demanded of
her part Of her very small salary,
which she very bravely and properly
refused to give him. Such has been the
character OF the men, white and black.

Empire has ever inflicted upon the OF

This was the battle OF Navarino, in
which the British navy played the prin-
cipal part, and the fruits of which have
been gathered exclusively by Russia
to her own ACKNOWLEDGMENT and the
stimulation Of that ambition and
avarice which have ever controlled and
instigated all her movements towards
Turkey. Richly, indeed, has Great
Britain paid for this folly.
The millions of pounds and the hun
dreds of thousands Of lives expended in

The condition Of the city wharves Is
deplorable and prompt measures should
be taken to repair them, or every foot
or them will have to be built anew. The
bulkheadlng along the river front, i'm
perfect and wretchedly defective in con-
struction, is also everywhere giving way
and exposing the banks, and in some
places the levees themselves to the
encroachment OF the river. The Ad-
ministrator Of Commerce has been en-
gagged in an active and pertinacious
effort to compel the rflessees to full
fill their contract with the city, and out
OF his commendable movement. in which
we regret that he Is not supported by
a majority OF the City Council, quite
a controversy has sprung up as to
sthe responsibility in the matter, and
even as to the real condition of the
wharves. AS the wharves threaten te
become a total ruin and to be finally
left on the hands OF the city to Se re.
built at a vast expense, 1t seems to u;
that general interest should be mani
tested in the controversy. We suggest
therefore, that committees from the
Cotton Exchange and Merchants Elk
change, in company with the Mayor anc
Administrators and the lessees, or theil
representative, visit and inspect the
whole line of wharves, that the real sit
nation may be placed beyond dispute
and some vigorous steps taken to fix the
responsibility and repair the damage.
