monltlon that some sharp politician
would come between this great and

now we are convinced of the fact.
Murat Halstead, editor of the Gin.

does not want to be president
again, and that it is doubtful if he
could be even if he wanted to.
Murat further says that Grant

but there is room for both papers,
and we wish to see both prosper.
Cooper is an old newspaper man,
ana upon many points is quite

from a leading ditorial:
The Comet is to be run henceforward and
brewer on the cash principle. No mar

INDUCEMENTS TO MANUFACTURERS.

The Wise and liberal provisions Of the new
constitution In the matter Of the manufactur-
ing interest show conclusively that the
trainers OF that instrument understood the
vital need of New Orleans and of her surplus
population. We have a people who are at
present too numerous and, yet, who cannot
be utilized to supply the wants of our too
tainly inhabited agricultural districts. They
are not qualified for farming pursuits, and 1t
would not be true economy to force them to
that sort OF occupation. But there Is no bet
ter material on earth for factory hands or for
great engineering enterprises than the labor

and most advantageous sphere. 1t Is In the

Ing undertakings that these people will be
furnished livelihood, and New Orleans will
be most prosperously situated. Our city en-
joys peculiar advantages Ia this respect. Its
situation at the source OF supply OF nearly all

communications by cheap water routes; Its
rank as the second seaport on the continent;
Its exceptional climate, which, as regards
