Most Of the Eastern papers have denounced
the worklngmen of California successful in
the election of last week for delegates to q
constitutional convention, in the most violent
terms: they were Communists, these de-
clared Socialists and hoodlums, unwilling to
work, but anxious to divide the property OF
the more industrious citizens among them
selves We were disinclined to believe these
assertions for many reasons. 1t was impOs-
sible to believe that majority of the citizens
OF State of the Union were Communists, and
then the fight was clearly fight between the
people and the monopolies.
Senator Booth, of California, has just been
interviewed on the subject of the late Cali
fornia election, and gives fair and impartial
review of the situation; he does not foresee
any trouble and disturbance from the success
of the worklngmen, but regards 1t as an ex-
tremely fortunate event The people of Cali
fornia have suffered more than those Of any
other State in the Union from monopolies
and corporations, and some cure for these
must be found. The only cure was in a new
constitution; the two old parties had so allied
themselves with corporations that they could
not frame the kind of constitution needed,
and the people therefore had TO turn towards
a new organization workingmens party.
This party, Gov. Booth continues, is not COM
posed wholly of laborers; it includes as we'll
the small property holders of the State; in
fact, the Industrial and middle classes. Gov
Booth predicts that the new constitution
framed by the "workingmen" will not be
radical, but that it will be a good, popular
and effective one and do much to develop the
State of California, now unfortunately blight
Cd by monopoly and ring rule.
1T may be mentioned that the New York
san and Herald, which have investigated the
California election, come to pretty much the
same conclusion as Gov. Booth. They explode
the idea that the workingmen Of California
are Communists. and show that their fight
was struggle of the people against the cor
porations for new constitution.

Michael Tobin, soldier of the United
States Engineering Corps, is now on trial for
murder before the United States Circuit
Court at West Point. He is charged with the
murder of another soldier at the West Point
garrison, which is on territory that has
been ceded to the United States, and thus the
Federal courts have jurisdiction. 1t is sim
glar fact that this is the second trial ever held
under the Federal law for the crime OF muir
der, the other instance being the trial Of a
soldier in 1919 for the murder Of q comrade at
Fort Adams, Newport harbor, II. |. Another
circumstance Is that the scafrold on which
Hicks, the pirate, Gordon the SLAYER. and
other Federal convicts we're hung, is still
preserved in the mezzanine gallery adjoining
the courtroom in which the trial is proceed
ing, and will be used for the execution OF
Tobin in case he is found guilty and sentenced
30 death.

THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, JUNE 30 1878

tics, we are informed on the same authority,
are well and correctly described by the Bee In
the article to which we have referred, and O
translation Of which we publish in this issue
Of the DEMOCRAT. He is said to have been q
pattern of industry and fidelity in the per-
Torrance of his duties; that he was regular
and methodcal In his movements and abste-
mious.in his habits; that his presence could
be counted upon OF his desk at the same hour
every day Of his working life, and that his
friendliness Of disposition endeared him to all
his colleagues and fellow-laborers; that he was
no intermeddler in other mems matters, and
never INDUCED in gossip, much less scandal;
that his life was quiet and unobtrusive and
that he rendered to every man his due. While
he conducted the Bee, 1t was marked then, we
are told, as 1t has been ever since, by the
same judicious management, dignity Of tone,
moderation Of editorial utterance and general
excellence as a newspaper, all Of which quail
ties still characterize it, We have penned
these lines less to eulogize the departed than
to draw the attention Of young newspaper
men to the principles which guided the career
of this worthy father in the profession Of
journalism. Industry, integrity, simplicity
and truthfulness seem to have been the rules
Of his life, and we recognize that In the death
Of such man, the newspaper press, to which
he was an honor, has suffered loss difficult

FRANCOIS DELAUP.

The columns of our esteemed contempo-
rary, the Bee of this city, came to us yester-
day draped in mourning and containing an
announcement of the death, at the great age
of eighty years. of Mr.. Francois DeIaup, the
founder Of that journal and, up to a recent
period, an honored and venerated Iaborer In
one OF it's departments. In the same issue Of
the Bee there appeared most touching and,
as we are informed most truthful tribute to
his memory. We are assured by those who
knew the man that the praise pronounced
upon him by the proDrietors and editors of
the Bee was but simple recognition, though
most feelingly expressed, of the virtues which
marked the character and conduct of their
departed co-laborer and friend. One,
In whose statements we have conf
dence, and who worked In the same
office with him for five years, tells us that
even after the debility which nearly always
attends great age had overtaken him, he in
sisted upon going through the daily routine
of duties he had been accustomed to perform
in the Office Of the Bee for many years, and
refused to be retired upon suitable allow
ance which the proprietors of the paper hon
orably and generously offered to make to him.
Mr.. Delaup, it appears from this, was true
laborer and proposed to die in harness, if his
strength permitted, supporting by his own
efforts the family who were dependent upon
him. AS his character is described to us, this
modest, innocent and simple old man might
have said, as CORN did to Tombstone: "Sir,
am a true laborer; I earn that
[ eat, get that wear; owe no man hate, envy
no mans happiness; glad of other mems
good, content with my harm; and the great
est of my pride is to see my ewes Craze and
my lambs SUCK" Mr.. Delaups characters

The great jackson route Is the shortest,
quickest and best Northern line to New York
and the Eastern cities. During the heat of
summer the greatest comfort In travelling is
found on the route by Chicago Or Louisville
and along the shores of the great lakes, or
through the grand scenery Of the Allegheny
mountains. To pass through these regions
there is no route SO direct, so quick or so good
as the Jackson, with its through cars, steel
track and short line enabling its trains to
leave New Orleans one hour later than any
other and make the same time
Excursion tickets are now on sale by this
route, good till October 81, to all the attrac-
tive and famous summer resorts of the North
west, best known among which are Wauke-
sha, with its celebrated springs; OconomOwOc,
hecentre of the delightful lake district Of Wis
consin; Green Lake, Grand Haven, st. Paul,
Niagara Falls, Montreal, Quebec, etc. The
rates are as low or lower than to watering
places in other parts of the country, and liv-
ing both at hotels and boarding houses cheap
and Of the best kind, the country around be-
ing highly cultivated and furnishing every
thing desirable for the table.
ALI are invited to call at the ticket Office 90

books, descriptions, routes, rates, etc, will be
furnished, and the fullest information given.

| The London Examiner has thoroughly in.
vestigated the wanderings and mutations Of
! the letter "h" in the English language; it's
career Is almost as romantic and as varied as
that of the Anglo-Saxon race itself. When
Hengest and Horsa landed on the chalky
cliffs of Kent they brought with them the
cultural 81, common to all German speak
ing races. There left the coast of Norway,
soon after them, another body Of adventurerg.
the Normans. These also brought the "h''
with them, but, happening to land in France,
they soon acquired the habits, customs and
language of the people. Now the French were
unacquainted with the "h,' or, il they used
this letter, did not pronounce 1t in the bold
cultural style Of the Germans, but greatly
softened the aspirate. The result was that in
two centuries after their settlement in France
the Normans, although still preserving the
valor and physique Of their Northern ances-
tors, had completely dropped the "h" Such
was the lingual condition when they defeated
Harold at Hastings, or as William the Con-
queror and his friends must have said, 'ArOld
at 'Astings.
In the earlier days of the Norman Kings.
therefore, the condition of affairs In England
was exactly the reverse of what it Is to-
day. It was the upper classes, the nobility,
who dropped their "h's'' and spoke of 'og and
'orse and 'unter; while the peasantry the
Doors and apprentices of London, could enun-
ciate their "h's" as plainly as q Teuton. His
torians have never sought to solve the great
question how the change came about, but the
solution Is plain enough. The "h," history
tells us, began first to be sounded in high So
oiety soon after the "Wars of the Roses" Now,
rs these wars killed off most of the old nobility,
It is evident that a new aristocracy must have
sprung up from the peoples who still pre-
served their "h.' Thus, but for the civil war
between the houses of York and Lancaster, |
he English nobility to-day would be talking
II ills and 'amlets 'ouses and eaven.
The manner Ia which the lower classes
lropped their his Is not so easily explained |
t Is claimed by some to be the result Of Iazi- |
less, h being letter so difficult to pro-
lounce, that most European nations have |
,bolished it; others attribute it to foreign Inn
migration, and others again TO q base imita-
ion of the old nobility. However that be,
he lower classes gradually dropped the as
irate; the disappearance of this letter was
low and must be Of recent date, since the
olonists of America have preserved none of
his strange English popularity.

The administration has habit of giving
out hebdomidal utteranees of an authoritative
character In regard to the civil service order.
The latest is, that it Is still in force and obe-
dience to 1t will be- exacted from all officials,
at least to the extent of abstaining from act
iYe participation in party caueuses, primaries
and conventions. They may, however, con-
tribute 10 campaign funds and support the
candidates of the party "in any way that will
not interfere with the proper discharge of
their official duties" and it might be added,
tor with their own discharge" This exoep-
tion Is broad enough to do away with even
Cornells contumacy.
