ELEMENTS OF PROSPERITY.

Gen. Bcauregnrd has been wayiaid by IN
interviewer and has given some interesting
Views and suggestions rs to the condition and
prospects OF New Orleans MS compared with
such cities as st. Louis and Chicago. What
the General says OF tho contrast between this
city and her prominent rivals Ia perhaps war
rRnted, There is no doubt that New Orleans
at this time OF the year Is only beginning to
exhibit signs Of life and motion and, there
fore, must suffer by comparison with st.
Louis or Chicago, which for some weeks have
boon at the very height OF their business
activity. Two months later the test would DO
less unfair and tho difference less marked.
1t Ia true, however, that we are not going
ahead as we should. and that there ia much for
us to do In the way Of bracing up and general
| overhauling. st. Louis Cincinnati. Chicago,
to say nothing OF Baltimore and New York,
| arc displaying n much more determined and
intelligent energy than we are. They have
| succeeded In overcoming oil their difficulties
OF location, In creating artificial communica-
tion, In triumphing over distance and time
and every other obstacle, and thus, during
tho long period through which New Orleans
has done 30 little to supplement her natural
advantages" they have passed us In the race.
Nevertheless we think that Gen. Beaure-
gard appeals to q verysfallacious illustration
when he quotes the relative increase OF popu-
lation In st. Louis and Chicago and the stag
nancy in that respect OF New Orleans. This
city might easily pass either of the other two
In prosperity, might easily become a greater
commercial centre, might easily transact
more business and attain greater import
ance. without adding another head to her
population. Our trouble In this city
Hos not In lack Of population but
In tho want OF n judlcious and
profitable employment OF what population
We already hay. We have not enough work
to give tho people as 1t Is. To add to their
number would be only to increase the diff
Guilty. What Now Orleans needs is a vigor-
GUS and well-directed effort to secure the
trade to which her location and natural ad-
vantaRes entitle her; q concert OF action to-
ward freeing the commerce OF tho port from
the many burdens and exactions which folly
or greed has put upon It; and wise policy In
our dealings with foreign countries II we
can Ill our tenements with busy and thrifty
people, SEQ our empty stores bright with
trade and enliyened with motion, our wharveB

The reservation Of the Utes In Colorado en-
braces 14,67o,0o0 acres Of land, or about 500
acres for every member Of the tribe, men,
women and children. This land includes
some OF the finest farming tracts and most
magnificent mines in the country and, II
opened up, would soon be full Of settlers.
Some Of the Western papers think this coun-
try ought to be opened up, but without any
injury or damage to the Utes. What Is the

Notwithstanding the Republican success In
Ohio. the Democrats carried eleven out Of the
twenty congressional districts OF the State.
They even gained one Republican district,
the sixteenth. which gave Republican ms
jority or 1884 In 1878 and a Demo-
cratic majority OF 1873 this year. Their
gain was even greater In Fosters own dis
fxict, the eighth, the Democratic majority
there being $3.50, against 1855 last year. IN
less, therefore. the Republican Legislature
gefrymanders the State. the Democrats are
sure to secure majority OF the congress
sional delegation in 1880.

THE BUSINESS BOOM.

Everywhere there are cheering evidences
OF returning prosperity, and the good times
80 long predicted and too long delayed are
now aawning upon our whole country The
prices OF all American products are rapidly
advancing, and In every department OF trade
prices have an upward tendency. The North
and West were naturally the first to feel the
effects of!the returning wave, and their cities,
towns and villages give evidence of unwonted
activity, while the farmers are jubllant over
high prices for their grain and other crops.
The failure OF crops In Europe has created an
extraordinary demand for American bread
stuf5 Of all kinds, and there Is every evil
dence that the renewed activity and prosperity
which has been manifested throughout the
country will be lasting. Louisiana feels the
Impulse OF the boom in the advance of her
staple products. Cotton and sugar have both
felt the upward tendency, and the high prices
now obtained are exceedingly encouraging to
our planters, and our merchants are every day
refusing to fill orders for sugar and moIasses
at previous rates. There Is a cheerfulness and
hopefulness now among all classes OF our
population. and we may reasonably anticipate
falr share Of the prosperity which seems to
be invading the whole country, and for which
this part OF the country has been anxiously
awaiting for many disastrous and weary
years.

tween 100000 and 100000 mon In the stand
Ing armies OF Europe, 1t is not surprising
that there should be o scarcity Of bread and
much distress among tho masses. That num-
Der OF mon added to the industrial and agrl-
cultural classes would produce n revolution
In the commercial world, the effects Of which
cannot be estimated. AS It is they only add
to tho number Of non-producers and aid In
swelling the burdens IF the people.

PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY.

To-day at 10 o'clock A. NJ, the State
Grange Ofthe Patrons of Husbandry OF
West Virginia meets at Martinsburg,
Berkeley county. The leading members
of the order in this State look upon this
meeting as one Of considerable import
ance, and for this reason, as well as on
account OF the accessibility OF Martins
burg and the renewed interest which
lust now seems to be taken in the
Grange movement and its working in va
rious portions of the country, a better
attendance is confidently expected than
is usually seen ut the meetings OF the
Patrons of HusbaRdry of West Virginia.
The State Grange is composed OF dele
gates from different parts OF the State.
Every subordinate Grange is entitled to
a representative, and can select whom
they may deem proper to represent
them. For instance, at the Fairmont
meeting, OF which the REGISTER furn-
ished a full report, one member repre-
scented seventeen subordinate Oranges,
in two or three different counties. The
intention is TO have each county repre-
sented through its Pornana or County
Grange; but each grange is entitled to a
voice, direct, in the State organization,
ii they chose to send a representative.
We expect to furnish the realers Of
the REGlsrER with report OF the pro-
ceedings as fully as may be OF interest
to the general public. The meeting will
probably last through Wednesday and
Thursday, and possibly longer. Several
visit NJ members OF. the order from 9TH
er States are expected to be present.
Among others, VI. WHITEHEAD, Lectur-
er Of the National Grange; II. A. THOMAS,
&C.,. .-.- - tbo pappsy-l--~--;s State
Grange and editor OF the Farmers Friend
and Grange Adrocais; DR.. BLANTER, Mas
ter of Virginia State Grange, &c. The adj
dress of welcome will be read by Hon.
J. II. GROVES, of Berkeley county, to be
responded to by some member OF the
order from the western part OF the
State.

THE NEXT STEP.

The next step in the ayowed policy oil
the Republican party, regarding the IL
nances, is the immediate retirement OF
the greenbacks. The motive power be-
hind this programme Is, OF course, the
National Banks. No other interest
could profit by il, aud none has askedit.
The retirement of the Greenbacks would
make way for an additional circulation
of National Bank notes to that extent.
IL the greenbacks were not needed
and not in demand they would natural
ly find their way back to the Treasury.
There is no law, except the law of ne
eessity, that has kept them ahoat till
now. 1t was only by very strained in
terpretation Of the authority vested in
the Secretary Of the Treasury that they
have not been cancelled as received by
the Treasury, instead of being again put
into circulation.
Ii is now within the power OF the
Secretary Of the Treasury TO pay out his
gold reserve and retain the greenbacks,
if he wishes to take such a responsible
ty. In fact, ne is bound to redeem these
notes in coin when presented at the
Treasury. There is nothing more nee
esSary for their retirement than to can
eel them as fast as they are received.
But they do not come in large num-
bers. Neither are they cancelled when
they do come. The people are willing
to retain them, and the Treasury finds
il convenient to meet the public demand
and pay them out again.
Stripped bare OF every pretence, then,
there is no other plausible pretext for
the retirement of the greenbacks than
to make more room for national banks.
More national banks means more money
power for the party that promotes them.
Ii means increased contributions for
campaign purposes when the party calls
for aid. 1t means combinations Of the
money power OF the country, such rs
were brought to bear in the Ohio
campaign, to obtain partisan triumph.
1t means great danger to the Republic
if this thing is carried farther.
The greenback is harmless; it is con-
venient; it is acceptable to the people; it
costs nothing TO maintain it; it de-
mands no interest; it is entirely nom
partisan in its character; it will buy no
more votes-perhaps not.so many-for
the Republican than for the Democrat;
it is the peoples money, backed not by
a corporation, nor a limited security,
but by the wealth and honor OF the
nation. The people want to furnish
their own greenbacks, and they will
make noise when pushed aside by the
National Banks.
