SAY IT DELIBERATELY,


and I say it slowly, that my words can be
understood, that these ,enactments, would
disgrace the reign OF Napoleon l.. Even in
Great Britain, q monarch to day, il Parlla-
ment should enact such laws, her soil
would be flooded by the blood Of the best
citizens of her land. they were not spced-
ily wiped out. There is no land on earth
where men are, permitted to vote where
such infamous, legislation exists as in the
United States. What has been done under
the statutes In 1876, when they wanted
to defeat Tilden and wanted to carry the
elections in these States, what did they do :?
In 1876, in New York city, for the purpose
OF eecting representatives in Congress, in
order to control the election, il carried into
the House OF Representatives, LOTS super
ysors and $500 deputy marsbals were
appointed TO stand over the balIot-boXes
and arrest men add lock them up, in vio-
lation OF the Constitution Of the United
States, y hich says no man shall be deprived
of life, liberty, or property without due
process of law-anG for what JUST to elect
Republican representatives in New York
city. In 1873, when elections of members
Of Congress were to be held, supervisors
were appointed at cost of S275,O00. When
this act was passed in 1871 it was said TO be
done to purify elections in the South, where
rebels and crusaders prevented men from
voting. Now look at 1t. OF all this amount
only $4,000 was used in the South, leaving
$3.50, 900 to be expended IN e!ecting Repub-
lican members OF Congress in six northern
States. Almost s400, 900 has been spent FOR
this purpose. and how has the money been
raised By taxation.

The great question Of the style Of hat to be
worn BY the Governor Of Roumelia remains
still unsettled, and promises to seriously dis
turb the politics Of Europe. The Porte is as
obstinate as ever on this question, and has In
formed Aleko Pasha that the moment when
the Russians leave that province, which will
be early next month, 1t will insist upon his
DOMINIC the red fez instead Of the Christian
hat he now wears, and that Ii he refuses this

THE FRUIT GROWERS ASSOCIATION

Az will be seem by d communication lii an
other column, the Fruit Growers, Association
Of the Gulf States intend To give their sixth
annual exhibition some time during the
month Of July. It Ii to be hoped TINT d
proper interest will be taken by o1r people In
this most coInmendable enterprise, and that
1t will BIO accorded more generous enoonr-
agement than In previous years.
Il y hardly necessary to point out In detail
the practical advantages that must result
from the efforts Of this association, and con-
saquently, the wisdom OF seeonding all It's
efforts to develope the important interests 1t
IL seeking to advance. There can be- no doubt
but that In the very near future fruit culture
ID destined TO become one of the most extern
sive and lucrative industries Of our country.
Already fruit has become an Important item
Of export from this State, and with every
succeeding year the value. and amount OF
these products are certain to increase rather
BY the process u multiplication than the
slower one Of addition.
Both In respect to soil and climate the
States bordering Oh the Gulf are singularly
adapted to fruit growing; % propitions and
harmonious, indeed. are all the conditions Of
nature that, III this immediate region ut least,
this appears designed by Providence as the
chief employment and source of revenue Of
large numbers ofour population. As our cor
respondent happily suggests, our sefni-tropi-
cal climate ID peculiarly adapted to the ex-
detrimental standardization Of the finer fruits
Of both the temperate and tropical zones.
Fand we may reasonably hope OF ultimately
seeing the apple and pear and peach growing
side by side with the banana and pineapple.
and all with the luxurlanee. of tour own ntltiye

But magnificent results cannot be attained
ina day, nor by mere isolated individual Of
Tort. They can be- achieved only by united MS
well as intelligent work and study. They In
voiye costly investments, and these are not
going To be- made precarlously. This ASSOC
citation ID intended 10 arouse public interest
Ia this production, and furnish opportunities
for m interchange 81 views and lexperiences
among fruit growers. This II will eventually
do we have no doubt, thus giving to all
who choose To cooperate with the organize
ton the free benefit 81 the observations and
scientific experiments Of q large number Of
practical men. The immense advantages, In
deed, the necessity OF such an organization,
must be apparent to oil, and 1t should eer-
tainly not be allowed to fail because OF d lack
Of public appreciation and encouragement OF
ltB labors.
Such, we feel assured, will not be- the case
and we beapeak for lib exhibition this year
complete success.

Bismarck is probably the most thoroug

Bismarck is probably the most thorough
autocrat living. He has just presented bill
to the German Reichstag which gives the
government control over the freight rates Of
all the railroads ID the empire. II Is needless
to say that he proposes that this power shali
be lodged In himself. It is thought that the
bill will pass. Bismarck Is evidently losing
none OF his power In his old age. Within a
year he has forced through the Reichstag, in
defiance Of public opinion, the anti-Socialist
law and his tariff bill, and now he proposes
to force other unpopular bills, such as the
demonstration Of silver and turning over the
railroads to the government, on the body that
pretends to represent the German people.

THE MoDoNoGH SCHOOL FUND.

Some time since, under Misrepresentation
Of facts, we permitted ourselves to do what
we have since discovered to be grave injus-
tice to the late John McDonogh, In regard to
whose munificent benefactions to our city we
were under an entirely erroneous impression.
1t is equally gratifying to us to have dis
covered our mistake and to repair manifest
injustice.
In our former article we said: I'VE believe
that during the administration OF Mayor
Witt g portion Of this fund was hunted UP
and applied to the erection OF very credita-
bic school-house for our public schools
What the Wilt administration really did was
to take charge Of the McDonogh school fund
and invest 1t In such manner as to at once
preserve It, and, by making it yield revenue,
render 1t available for carrying out the pur-
poses for which 1t was bequeathed, and re-
commenced the building OF school houses.
This fund now consists In the main Of 1854
$50, invested In premium bonds of the city, on
which money has been borrowed to pay for
the last school house erected.
In 1862 there had been four school houses
erected and paid for out Of this fund, the
Paulding school in the First District, at a.
cost Of $500; another In the Second District
at a cost OF $4,000; one In the Third District
costing $40, 900, and one In the Fourth District,
the McDonogh school, at a cost Of $4,000.
Since the war not less than ten school-houses
have been erected, costing as follows:

Hayes's administration will not make q
very good record In the matter Of the national
debt. The debt statement Of May 81 shows
that IL the previous five months the out
standing bonds had increased from $685.
s1as5o to $l.e67, did, 76o, an increase OF St45,-
col $40, or early thirty millions month.
Some Of this increase - due TO the fact that
refunding binds have been issued before the
outstanding bonds were called In; but, MAX
ing due allowance for this. II Ii evident that
every month Of Hayes's administration will
show an increase In the national debt.

tlon 1t cites resolution offeredby him In the
constitutional convention of 1851, authorizing
townships to destroy dogs Or tax them with
out regard to their value. This, It declares,
y violative Of the great principle of equality
IN taxation and OF special provision OF the
constitution that taxes shall be levied aac-
cording to the value of property aWhat
would have been result OF this indiscriminate
right to kill, this licensing OF multitudinous
slaughter, this excessive and therefore odous
taxation7" asks the Commercial ut would
have led to strife and retaliation, neighbor-
hood quarrels and feuds, general exaspera-
ton, and other evils too numerous to men,

Fortunately" continues this friend of the
dogs, "Ewing's scheme failed. Had 1t sue
ceeded, there would not have been dog on
the soil Of Ohio to-day. 1t Is to be appre-
hended, should he be elected Governor, that
he will seek to do by proclamation what he
failed to accomplish by constitutional
methods r
Here is the weak point In Ewing's armor
Fortunately for him Ohio has not yet con-
ferred the elective franchise on It's canine
population, or Ewing's campaign would be
ended ere 1t was begun. But what influence
will the Commercials editorial have upon the
election Is the campaign going to be made
on the dog issue, the financial issue, or the
new rebellion" Issue? Asour next President
hangs on this Ohio notwithstanding to the
Buckeye papers, at least-we cannot but re-
gard the forcing Of this dog issue into SO
much prominence as unwise, unpatriotic, and

party OF an impending danger; We
admonished them that In certain event
an opposition party would be organized
against them composed Of and led by many
Of the best citizens Of Che State, and instantly
our Shreveport contemporary and several
other journals shrek out that the DEMOCRAT
proposes to organize an opposition party.
There ID neither justice nor common sense III
such twaddle
Our article was q warning to the purity, and
we threw into that warning as much Of earn
estness as we could. We did not utter the
warning because we had lost faith In the
party, or because we intended to desert 1t,
We gave the warning as faithful sentinel On
duty. and because the party and the holy
cause over which We INCREASINGLY watch, are
dear to our heart as our life. We expect
always to do battle In the cause Of the Demo-

believe that the highest interests OF Louisiana
are In the keeping OF that party and depend
upon its success.
