The Pauper Problem.

What ie England to do with her poor
Pauperism in that country is fearfolly OF
the increase and must continue SO, il
America continues to undersell English
factories. An immense proportion of the
population of that little island are ex
clusively connected with manufacturing
enterprise, and, indeed, there is no place
for them in agriculture. Their workshops
being shut up through American rivalry,
what becomes of them Let them come
to America, it is said. Yes, but that is a
slow and expensive process-a process Of
voluntary depopulatioR-snd while it is
going on what an immense amount of
pauperism will be developed
| The English govern ment has long since
unchurched charity and made it State
affair. A bungling, cold blooded affair it
| is, too, with its dreaded poor houses, it's
petty tyrannies, its destitution and hard
ships. And when those poor houses null
tiply fourfold, perhaps tenfold, when tax
payers must confront colossal poor. rates
with tax producing resources indefi nitely
reduced, when naughty aristocrats and
supercilious middlemen, already fretful
and restive under the unwelcome burden,
finally rebel against it and discard it
of the pauper swarmsf
Why, the Church, the never forgetting
mother, will have to take them up
again. What Church 7-the Episcopalian
sect7 Z. the Methodist sectf the Calvinist
sect No man can dream such thing, for
though some of these have existed for three
centuries they have shown no such taste,
no such instinct. 1t must be the same old
Church that since the days of Christ has
always been among men knowing their
wants and minstering to them, that has
built the hospitals and the asylums, that
has scattered broadcast through all
lands her ten Thousand places of refuge
for every human i'll, and that sends her
own chosen sons and daughters-not hire
lings-to minister in these places. 1t is in
her heart alone that the true m aternal in
stinct towards all human misfortune can |
be found, universal in time, in place and |
in condition.
While charity without being too expen-
sive can be made to serve as a trapping to
pride and Ostentaton, it may be adopted |
by the rich as one m ode of luxurious dis
play. 1t is q modern phase of the lavish
aristocrscy which once carried captives and |
slaves in it's retinue, When such luxuries
become burdensome, however, they are
always dropped. And it will be blessed
day for the English poor, when their long
captivity to worldly pride shall have ended
even through very excess of misery, and
they shall be remauded to that Catholic

Since the quarantine was established

arc forced to get our homo news from
abroad, Tho dispatches to tho 81.
Louis press OF tho 11th inst, contain
telegram from New Orleans giving the,
substance of an address issued by the
Colored Mems Protective Union of
Louisiana. The address il said to
have been signed by a hundred prom
fnent colored Louisiana politicians.

and discouraging.n 1t seems to be
TRADE against tho administration for
taking It's own share of tho FRAUDULENT
spoils, selling Packard out, and filling
to divide the offices fairly betwebn the
white and coIored voters. Thistiivis-
ion OF spoils Is Just whero the shoe
pinches /; for without the offices neither
white nor colored Radical politicians
would remain i'm any one particular
party for any length OF time. During
tho reign of carpet-baggcry the white
et-baggers and scalawags managed
to accord the negroes, who cast all the
voters, just enough minor offices to
keep down their discomfort. The rest
were all gobbled up by themselves.
But now, whom, with tho departure Of
tho troops, Radical victories arc rem
dercd impossible honccfosth In Iauisi-
ana, and consequently there are NO
Offices TO give, Hayes is made to be-
stow the Federal patronage on his

of the colored voter. What chance

Despite its gloomy and discourag-
ing tone this address is not Without
certain degree of philosophic rcsigna-
tion. It thinks "our people may pro,
fitably accept the situation" We
should say 50. The short period the
Democratic party has bccn in power
has bccn long enough to demonstrate
that the negro is much better Off now
than under the rule of his carpet-bag
protectors. Life, liberty and property
arc better protected than ever. School

THE PLATF0RM.

The platform adopted unanimously
by tho Democratic State Convention at
Baton Rouge cannot fail to give salts
faction to every member of the, party
In louisiana. It takes an unequivocal
position on every measure in which
tho people of Louisiana are particu-
larly interested. Tho currency plank
is in accordance with tho position we
have already taken on this question.
It even goes farther. It calls for the
abolition OF the Federal tax on the
State banks. The operation OF such
an act Is manifest. Our State banks,
which, In old times, were proverbial
for their solvency, will be able to re-i
sume business and to furnish a cur
rency for the State as safe as any In
the world. With the abolition Of the
national banks, and the substitution Of
national treasury notes or grccnbacks
liable currency, adequate to. the husi-
ness transactions of the country. We
are pleased at this action of the Com
vention in putting the Democratic
party of Louisiana in limo with the
Democracy Of the great producing
States of the Mississippi Valley, whose
interests are similar to our own. This
Democratic clamor in favor of q change
in the financial system of the country
is getting so loud that cven.a Republf-
can Senate or a Republican Executive
cannot afford to disregard it. The
party which does not take high ground
|on the currency question will be left
behind. Tho Democratic party hcetls
the voice of the people and Is
every day by its wise
course. Tho Republican party, by
sticking to its crude ideas, secs its
ranks daily thinned to swell those of
the new National party. Tho Conven-
ton, too, happily settled all diner
ences of opinion on the question OF CALI
ing a Convention to form q now Con-
stitution. From the warmth with
which the advocates and opponents of
nm immediate Convention conducted
the controversy ON both sides, we had
feared that this question might become
q disturbing ono both In the Conyen.
tion and in the campaign. Hcncc,
though our opinions on the subject are
we'll known, we have recently. as our
readers will have observed. refrained
from its discussion, determined to
support the action of the State COnven-
ton, whether 1t should be in accor-
dance with our views! or not. The
next Legislature is to call COnven-
ton. But 1t is not to disturb tho pres
ent State government. In fact there
has never been anY danger. aS tho
