The suspicion Of setting the build
inc on fire rests on no one in par
ticular, yet all who witnessed the
fire from the time it was first dis
covered until the building was a
mass of black and smoking ruins,
agree that it was the work of an in
cendiary. The fire, when first dis
covered, had made most progress in
the south end Of the house, where
no fire was ever kept, and the fact
that the south end was entirely de-
stroyed while the north end re-
NAMED almost in tact, proves con-
cluslvely that the building was pur-
posely set on fire.

ONwARD.-The Times has repeated
ly urged the necessity for the fOrma-
ton OF immigration companies in those
parishes of Louisiana which railroads
are about to render accessible. The
great West owes its rapid increase of
population, in very large degree, to the
fact that land, in small tracts, can be
had at Low prices and on easy terms. In
many cases, there were large bodies of
government land which were open to
settlement under the pre- emption laws.
Moreover, many OF the great railway
corporations had acquired large grants.
and the exigencies of the situation forced
them to use every means to attract i'm
migration. Unfortunately, these con-
diti0ns do not, in general, exist in Lou
isiana ut the present time. Most of the
desirable lands are held by large pro-
prietOrs who are unwilling to divide
their holdings, but who would, in many
cases. be very glad to sell in block.
The only remedy for this state of affairs
is to invoke the powerful principle Of
cooperation. Imnls companies
should be formed and large estates pur-
chased. The large plantations should
then he subdivided into small farms,
and sold to actual settlers at reasonable
prices. Such system would be Of I'M
mense benefit to all concerned. One
thing Ia certain-it is useless to wait
supinely for immigration to come to us
of its own accord. If We wish to start
the State once more on the high road to
prosperity, We must make an aggressive
movspent. The only safe motto is-
Onward.-IN, @. Times.

Democratic Faith and Duty.
fBOssier Banner.

The Democratic party has no princi-
pies it need be ashamed of. The gov
eminent was formed by our fathers
upon the eternal principles OF justice to
all classes, and special prireleges to none
The peoples rights were guarded usur-
patton was feared and safeguards were
placed to prevent it; Capitalization OF
the government in the future was anti
cipated, and the rights and sovereignty
OF the States and the people were very
strongly secured to them in the consti-
tuition. The mission of the Democratic
party is, to hand down to future pos
unimpaired. To do this, let no man in
the party be placed in power, except he
comes up to the standard erected by
Jefferson sIs he capable? is he
honest ?"-Such men will regard the
wishes and wants Of the people, and
the people will be safe in their hands.
The curse that afflicts all parties is the
leeches that hang upon them seeking an
opportunity to suck their life's blood
and till their maws. Past experience
shows how well they have succeeded.
The people are, to great extent, res
ponsible for the manner in which the
government is administered. The Off
GERS OF the government, from the Pres
ldent down, are the servants OF the
people, and should be held to strict
accountability for their acts, as other
servants are, and if unworthy or dis
honest, should be dismissed at once.
There is disposition in these degener-
ate times, to whiteWash government
thieves and swindlers and keep them in
Office at high salaries. No wonder the
people complain of high taxes and hard
times. II there ever was time in the
history Of our country that a change of
the administration Of our government
was needed. now is the time. The Re-
publican party have controlled the coun..
try so long that their thousands of
officers eyes are sticking out with fat
ness, caused by the wealth they have
flched from the treasury and stolen
from the people. The people want a
change. They made change in 1876,
but were cheated out of their man.
Remember, Eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty" IF the wants of the
people are supplied and their grievances
redressed and the government brought
back to its. pristine purity, the Demo
c0atlg party must do it.
