The wisest thing the Southern
people of both races can do is to
abjure clustering politics and devote
their attention to the building up
Of their industries, the development
OF the rich natural resources of their
favored region, the extention of ed
ucation and the cultivation of kind
ly feelings between the two races
Nesc York Herald.
There never would have been any
other than ''kindly feelings be-
tween the two races" had it not been
for the evil influence of Radical car.
pet-baggers. AS for "blustering
politics." the people of the South
are heartily tired Of it, but your
Chambers and Blaines give our
'blusterers" an excuse to talk back;
hence the war of words continues.
"Bluster" is the stock-in-trade OF
that class Of politicians who cannot
secure notoriety or position without
it. 1t is q great pity that those who
are 80 eager for the fray now didn't
get enough Of it while there was an
opportunity to do 90. Swagger ia
out Of place always, There is no call
for it from either side. Our opinion
is that Chandler, Blaine and others,
would soon get tired of bowling and
beating the cir, if they were treated,
as they deserve to be, with silent
contempt.

The Lake Charles Echo wants the
Constitutional Convention to adopt,
or to direct the next Legislature to
adopt, some such measure as was
presented in the Senate at the last
session Of the Legislature, by Hon.
George II. Wells, of Calcasieu, in a
bill "for the relief Of delinquent tax
payers, and to facilitate the collec-
ton Of taxes" It is to be regretted
that Senator Wells bill did not pass.
It was no fault of his that it did not.
An excellent lawyer and an untir.
ing public servant, Senator Wells
never lost sight Of the best interests
of his State and people.

Cause Of Democratic Asoendancy.
The Denver News says it is very
easy to determine why the Demo.
Gratis have obtained an ascendancy
in Congress, and why the Republi-
can cry of revolution has 50 little
effect upon the country. 1t is the
outgrowth of a universal desire for
peace. For years the country has
been agitated by political dissen-
sions, and every material interest
has suffered from continual agita-
ton. 1t has been made plain to the
people that the rest and quiet they
desire cannot come from the Repub-
lican party. On the contrary it has
fostered and encouraged agitation.
Uuder its influence, Industry has
languished and commerce has de-
clined to a degree which threatens
to put an end to the prosperity Of
the country. The Democratic party
came into power with the avowed
purpose Of removing the source of
these agitations. They declared
their purpose of repeating all un-
constitutional and obnoxious laws.
The party was successful on that
issue. The people understood that
all the machinery by which sectional
agitation was maintained was to be
removed, and that the country was
to start out anew upon conditions
which recognized no sectional antip-
athies. The Republicans went before
the country upon this issue, and they
lost it. The Democrats are there.

made to the people. In offering this

truth, and that their purpose is to
deceive the people. Is it rebellion
for the South to send her represen
tative men to Congress! Is he1
loyalty alone to be established by
selecting aliens or negroes to stand
for her in the Senate or House Of
Representatives. These delegations
from the South are all Democratic

A Narrow Escape.

The carelcssness which some people
in this city manifest in leaving their doors
insecurely barred at night is topic with
which the newspapers are always rife
One instance in particular was called to
our notice. A lady living on Eutaw Square
was sitting up with her daughter, who was
afflicted with pulmonary consumption, and
whose terrible cough could be heard by the
neighbors. This evening in particular she
was more than usually depressed and
harrassed by severe and prolonged fits of
coughing Her mother left her bedside to
60 to the bureau to get some medicine to
relieve her, and as she passed the window
she saw an immense shadow OF man upon
the wall One shrek and she fell i'll faint,
as tall stalwart fellow leaped in at the
window. The sick girl, too weak to cry
out, Law in trance of fear, while the man
leaned over and picked up her mother, and
said in kindly tone, ''Be not alarmed,
Miss, am no robber; but | have heard you
coughing so much that | determined to
relieve you and so brought you this bottle
of DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup" The young
lady thanked her philanthropic friend,
took the medicine and is now rapidly im
proving. Baltimore Every Saturday
