ENDORSING OUR POSITION.

On lust Saturday the Parish Com
mittee of the Democratic party elect.
cd tho editor Of this paper, the dele
gate to represent East Baton Rouge
in tic State Central Committee, which
meets to-day, in New Orleans, for tho
purpose of organizing for the forth
coming Presidential campaign. For
several reasons we had rcflnined from
soliciting the support Of any of tho
gentlemen composing the Parish Com
mittce, in this connection; the main
ono being, that the CArlroL'AN has
not hcSitatcd to apply what it be-
licvcd to be deserved condemnation
ofsome of the acts performed by party
managers, MS also tho failure of tho
present administration and General
Assembly to comply with certain ur-
gent demands of tho people, as cx-
pressed in the letter and spirit of the
Constitution. We therefore regard
the honor conferred on ms under the
circumstances, rs an endorsement by
the Democratic party Of East Baton
Rouge, through its representatives, of
the views we have urged in the col
umns Of our Journal.
We understand II to he the deter
mination of the un'altcring Dcmocm-
cy of this parish to stand squarely by
the nominees Of the party, whoever
they may he, under any and all cir
cumstanccS; but they do. expect fair
dealings in the Conventions, so that
tho most worthy members Of the
party may not be defeated by trickcry
for tho bcucdt of those who arc not
the real choice of the majority.
We believe too, that they expect of
the men whom they elect to Offices Of
high trust and cmolumcnt, that they
will strictly observe the laws and en-
force them; and when acting in u rep
rcscntativo capacity, be guided in
their course by the willUf the people.
Our humble efforts will be guided
in accordance with the sentiments
expressed in the above; believing that
by SO doing VIC arc COntCnding for the
advancement of Democratic principles
and through these, TO the general
good.

THE CROPS.

A report OF the condition of the crops
in seventy counties of Kansas, show that
while newly settled portions of the state
have suffered greatly from the drought,
and that the wheat crop has generally
been much damaged by the dry spring,
the increased acreage under cultivation
Will more than offset the injury caused
by want of ram, and that corn in most
sections promises a full average yield.
An encouraging increase is noted in cat
tie and hogs, and the report serves to
show the conspicuous adaptability of the
soil and climate of Kansas for the prose
cution of the stock interest. The graz.
ing resources of the state are almost
boundless, and nothing withstands
the influences of the drought
more efrectually than the wild grass
which clothes the limitless prairies and
which can be converted into certain
wealth by the man who husbands it in
the feeding of the vast herds which il
can be made to support. The rich bot
tom lands of the state is adequate TO the
growth of corn which will feed countless
numbers of hogs and cattle, and nothing
save the lack of proper judgment and
judicious management stands in the
way of the success of the man who will
come to the settled and older portions OF
Kansas and employ his capital in this
lucrative way.
There are very many counties in Kan
sas where agriculture can be msde high
ly remunerative, but the grand future OF
the state, in our judgment, is based upon
its merits rs a grazing country. and its
highest prosperity depends upon
the utilization of those vast resources OF
wealth which clothe her prairies and lie
spread over her magnificent corn lands

THE SOCIETY BUSINESS.

The Champion announces about every
morning in the week the organization of
a new "lodge" or division" or "chap-
ter or something of the sort. The
secret society business is spreading
through the country like a prairie fire.
1t is not confined to the white race, but
it is breaking out among the colored
folks. There is hardly a person of Afri-
can extraction of our acquaintance, of
either sex, who does not belong to one or
more societies with names one would not
like to meet alone in the dark. There is
the Independent Order of Immacu-
lates," called for convenience make
ates, and the Rising Daughters of Jeru-
salem" and the knights of Wise Men, -
and the "Daugeters of Rahab,' and
heaven knows how many more. We do
not see how with all the societies on
hand among the people and more COM
ing, the ordinary business of life is to be
transacted. When a man belongs to
fourteen societies, which each meet one
night in the week, what is he going to
do for chance for look at his family
occasionally? If he attends all the
funerals, IS brother should, will
he not find it necessary TO wear
black gloves the year round, and
will he not finally fall in behind
every hearse that passes from mere force
of habit? And the accumulated mys-
terry locked up in the breast of a man
who belongs to everything must be ire
mendous load to carry. He must in time
become an unhappy man charged with
so many secrets he cannot reveal. And
what is to hinder his memory failing,
and the distinctive signs and grips be-
coming confused in his mind, and his
whispering in the ear of some knight of
the Holy Cheese Box the password appro-
pirate to the Succotash degree of the In
dependant Order Of Red Men. Then
there is number Of. capital letters accu-
mulating after mans name In the re-
gular course Of the society business. At

SUFFERING ON THE FRONTIER.

Governor st. John returned the latter
part of last week from his trip to the
western part of the state, whittier he
went some days ago to ascertain the
actual extent of the suffering reported
among the settlers in the frontier coun
tics. The Commonwealth of Friday
gives the following account of the gov,
ernor's tour of inquiry:
The governor returned yesterday from
trip to the western part of the state
He visited Wallace, Gore, Ellis and Ire
go counties. The country is as bare OF
vegetation as in the winter. Not a green
thing visible There are a great many
cases of severe suffering, and many hol-
low-eyed women and children. In some
instances there is scurvy. The governor
took out with him about 100, 600 pounds
of meat and bacon and relieved some of
the distress. lie purchased this food and
drew on Jay Gould for money 10
authorized TO draw from is about
exhausted. 1: is a serious question
how best to aid the new settlers IN about
twenty of the frontier counties. In
these counties there are, or were on the
LIST of March. about 10000 people. OF
these; 10000 went in last year. These are
in need, ut least many of them. Those
who went there two years and over ago
are generally in a condition to get
through. The settlers were pejOiced
when told of Mr.. Ryan's bill to allow
them 10 leave their claims till October.
1881, without forfeiting any rights.
They will leave if this bill becomes a
law, as 1t will. But always there are
some who can't get away, and the
eastern and southern part of the state
will have TO organize and give them re-
lief"
This condition of affairs will, of eourse,
be published widely over the country,
and will afford further and still more
convincing proof of the folly, on the
part of emigrants of small means,
passing through the productive
portions of Kansas, and pushing on
to the frontier where the country Is un.
developed, and the rainfall rs a natural
consequence is uncertain. The railroads,
which have been largely responsible for
this erroneous and disastrous policy,
have, We learn, ceased to encourage emf
grafton 10 those districts, and the evil
now stands better show for correction
than ever before. In the meantime, En-.
poria should not be outdone by her sis
ter cities in extending such aid to the
sufferers as seems to be necessary to al
leviate their immediate and pressing ne

THE COOLIDGE HOUSE.

The christening of the new hotel seems
to meet with pretty general favor, and
the name selected is as good one as
could have been agreed upon. Mr..
Coolidge, its sponsor. is u man of prom
inence and his family is one of the oldest
and best in new England. His acces-
sion to the presidency of the Santa Fe
road will give the name more extended
celebrity, and it is very fitting that the
leading hotel of town whose interests
are SD closely identified with this great
thoroughfare should bear the cOgnOmen
of its principal officer. THE Coolidge
House" is very euphonious and au-
spicious name, and we have no doubt
that the hotel will fully realize the
highest promises Of its imposing title.
