ou' 'ol rance has ceased to be toll
'a'A.' up to this time we have main
''A"e strict silence in respect to the war
'e' .veen Russia and Turkey, but the
'clamor OF our readers, to say nothing OF
the immense interests at stake, demand
that we should reach forth our editorial
paws and take a decisive part AS Junius
once expressed it, in the pending strug-
gle. We ought to be competent to say
something important and to act with
decision, because we have been study
ing the war maps, the letters OF nun
rry Bohemians, have Gas we promised)
engaged the Aercest street-corner briga-
diers and attacked the sidewalk day
after duy and up one side ana down
the, other 1t is but natural that we
should have an opinion, and it would
he very unnatural for us not to express
it. especially at II crisis when the inter-
ests Of America and Of North Louisiana
are so deeply involved.
But. to confess the truth, we are met
ut the threshold with the serious pro-
hlem Of-What side shall we take?
Wa were born neither in Turkey nor
Russia. and have not even IL distant re-
iatiye on either side. We never expect
10 500 Constantinopte,or st. Petersburg
the Gar nor the Sultan. No known
friends of ours are in arms on either
side. and like friend Of ours, we had
forgotten, or did not know until week
ago. that the Danube had its source not
In Turkey, or Russia, but in Germany.
We had expected to be consulted
about the causes Of the war, whether
the Turks as Christians sho"id invade
Russia or the Russians AS Mohamme-
dams should cross the Turkish frontier.
But this was not done, and we sulleniy
started to specializing in grain, bread
stuffs, meats, ships, &c. We under
stand that this enterprise Is a failure.
A young merchant on st. street
informs us that flour is down and that
picked pork has not risen at all.
What shall we do? Express an opin~
ion? That might 1nislead Bismarck,
or Jules Simon, or possibly involve all
Europe in war, and the United States
besides, including the second ward OF
Ouachita parish. We cannot placidly
contemplate a calamity SO dire, "s the
result of our interference. Our NELL
trality is enforced, therefore, by the
highest considerations OF humanity.
If our readers will consult their war
mans, the columns Of the Home Advo-
cate of Foreign Intelligence and the
next man they meet. they will have
M the information they require with
out the trouble it will put us to to I'LL
up this paper (Which they Will not
read, and could not understand II they
did. no more than we could) with col
umn after column of European war
news, About the only serious opinion
we can give, after all, is that the war
is, IA yet, not opened, and so far is only
n skirmish. 1t will probably require
months Of maneuvering to open IL in
genuine war style. with it's mighty
conflicts, rapid combinations and deci-
sive battles. Meanwhile, we shall DE
content to look on calmly and ask our
readers to attend to gravor matters
nearer .hone--thcir pea patches and
newspaper bills, for instance.
