THE LOUISIANA BUSINESS.


Some of our local contempora-
ries of Republican proclivities arc
pouring out their walls of wrath up
on the head of President Hayes be-
cause they think his instructions to
the Commissioners lately sent to
Louisiana rather favor Nichols for
Governor. We think they had bet
tor keep down this tempest in a
teapot until further developments
are made. President Hayes may
not prove SO great fool as they
seem to think, and it should be re-
membered that, whatever his ulti-
mate decision may be. be is in a
better position to know the popular
will of the United States than we OF
the Pacific coast, who perforce must
receive our intelligence through q
biased agent of the Associated Press.
We are often misled, as our con-
temporaries will admit, by the blue
glass coloring of the news manager.
However much We may wish to
see Louisiana ruled by Republi-
can State government, we will say
this: II the President, after full in
vestigation finds that large ma
jority Of the people prefer to give
allegiance to the Nichols govern
ment and are actually doing SO by the
unconstrained payment of taxes to
his agents instead of those of Pack
ard; that the Nichols Legislature
has an actual and voluntary quo
rum of Returning Board members,
and that considerable portion of
the Republicans desire settlement
in favor of Nichols, we believe the
President will be justified in with
drawing the troops from Louisiana
If. on the contrary, it is found that
the viii; of the people, and equity as
we'll. is on the side Of Packard. he
should be sustained, if it takes
every bayonet in the service.
The question also arises whether
the condition of affairs, if Packard
we're sustained, would be different
after the next State election. Must
we keep troops in Louisiana for all
time to uphold Republican officials?
Is there reason to expect the
people of that State to change in
favor of our party faith and quietly
elect Republican ticket at the
next election Is government
upheld by force of Federal arms
republican in form or fact? What
have we to gain by continuance of
this unrepublican policy? If our
contemporaries cannot satisfactorily
answer these questions, they should
withhold adverse comment on the
Presidents policy, at least until
some definite action fully sustains
their suspicious. The TIMES in
tends to support the President what
ever he may do in the Louisiana
case, believing that an honest ad-
ministration will put the Republi-
can party in much better condi-
ton for the next Presidential cam
paign than it was for the last.
The dispatches of last night con-
talns a lengthy open letter from
Packard to the President, in which
it Is stated that he had several hun
.dred more votes than the Hayes cleo
tors, and, in effect, he says to the
President, at l am not the legal
Governor of Louisiana, you are not
the legal President of the United
States. What are you going to do
about it,"
