THE TIME TO BEGIN.

There are many reasons why the people OF
New Orleans should use every effort to sus-
tain the reputation which they won last year
| hy their organized and persistent work Of
sanitation. and we think It would DO wise
| thing to begin now, while the city is perfect
| ly healthy, to clean up. The trouble usually
| ID that we defer action In this regard until
| there are rumors OF sickness. and then every
thing that is done has q tendency to excite
alarm. both at home and abroad. Let us take
time by the forelock this year, and while
there Ia no sickness nor any cause for fear,
take every possible step towards preventing
an epidemic by making New Orleans one of
the cleanest cities In the Union. Last year
proved what can be achieved by lard work
and concert of action on the part or our State
and city authorities and cltizens-even with
the expenditure of a comparatively small
sum OF money-and 1t 10 not too much TO ex-
pect better result this year, because the ex-
perience gained as to the best methods to be
pursued and In the economical employment
of labor will be very valuable.
We know now just how much can be done
by given number of laborers In sanitary
matters, and are thoroughly familiar with
every HOOK Huu COiutE vi bLl5 Ctlys All VI
this knowledge cost money last year, and
will enable us to begin work intelligently. |
It Ia not too soon now to begin the sanitary
campaign by raising fund adequate to the
great and essential work Of thoroughly
cleansing the city, and we believe there will
be found no difficulty In securing the money. |
The Auxiliary Sanitary Committee, being
thoroughly organized and Its valuable labors
last summer having won for 1t an enviable
reputation, Is the proper body to take
this matter In hand, and the DEMO
GRAFT is assured that our merchants
would gladly contribute towards fund for
sanitary purposes The latter are naturally
greatly encouraged By the favorable result of
cleanliness last summer, and readily per-
ceive that to save New Orleans from an cpl
demic is worth millions of dollars to the com
munity. We have been blessed with fine
crops this year, and prosperity has once more
dawned upon our people. With another year
Of healthfulness and plenty New Orleans will
be enabled to lift herself from the ashes OF
her recent woes and stand before the world
as proudly as In the days Of her commercial
supremacy.

To-day will be one Of great excitement In
Maine. The new Legislature will meet at
Augusta, and over its organization there will
necessarily be great struggle. Backed by

A GOOD SIGN FOR EDISON.

Although 1t Is true that thousands Of peo-
Pile, admirers and skeptics, friends as well as
enemies, have visited Edison's workshops
and laboratory since they were thrown open
to the public some ten days ago, and although
the new light has been subjected to the Sc
verest tests without developing any element
of failure it may be said that the most con-
vincing evidence OF Mr.. Edlson's success is
to be found In the bitterness and persistency
with which he Is assailed by parties whose in
terests are threatened by his experiments.
Since the first announcement that he had
succeeded In constructing a lamp suited to
household uses he has been constantly criti-
oised In an unfriendly fashion by a band OF
so-called scientists. His claims have been
derided, his propositions ridiculed, his asser-
tions contradicted. Within twenty-four
hours of the publication that his lamp had
been lighted, there cams the positive declara-
ton by Professor du Motay and by w. E.
Sawyer that the lamp could not burn; that 1t
was an imposture; that the carbon would
and the vacuum fail. Both these
gifted gentlemen declared that they knew all
about his lamp. and that 1t was delusion

The news from Europe Is interesting. Rus
Ella Is concentrating large bodies of men and
great quantities OF war material on her west
ern frontier, and Russian soldiers In the from
tier towns are talking of war with Germany
and Austria as among the certainties OF the
near future. The German press has recently
contained some significant articles rejecting
sIpun Russia, and warlike utteranees have
characterized the Austrian press and people
for some time. Taken altogether. the pros
poets for continued peace between the three
Emperors is by no means brilliant or
course, Russia would not enter into war
with the German Emperors without allies,
An interesting fact In this connection Is the
In simacy OF the French ambassador at st.
Petsrsburg with the government OF the Gar.
This is SO marked that complaint has already
been a,sde of ii by the German government.

ANOTHER NUISANCE DOOMED.


The rapid increase OF tall, ungalnly tele-
graph poles In cities, and the great and grow
ing opposition to them which has been de-
veloped of late, has, we are glad to observe,
resulted In an effort to get rid of them by
running telegraph wires under ground. A
Mr. Brooks has secured patent for laying
wires under the ground in Oil, and has sold a
half interest In the same to the Wester n
Union Telegraph Company which Is about
making an experiment between Newark and
Trenton, N. J. III found to work SATISFACTORY
ly 1t Is proposed to adopt the system In New
York City at once, which will do away with
the network Of wires that traverse the city In
every direction, and one anything but orna-
mental. The expert who has been making
an examination of the,matter gives the follow
ing as the result OF his labor:
My Ian is to have three great trunk lines
running north end south-one through Third
Avenue. one through sixth Avenue and another
| would have branch lines east and west
through every second street. the wires being
taken from the trunk lines and conducted on
poles to the place desired. / do not advocate
laying these branch lines underground unless
there are more than twenty of them In the same
street. and / do not advocate laying telephone
wires underground. for the location OF tele-
that. under my plan instead Of 5000 or 10000 tel
egraph poles now standing. 1900 or 1900 poles
will serve every instrument In the city In a
complete and economical way

THE SUGAR MART.

The DEMOCRAT has printed several COM
munieations from sugar planters giving their
views on the subject OF the present method Of
the sale OF sugar and molasses In this city,
and all of which condemn In unmeasured
terms the practice offorcing the sugar off the
evee after twenty-four hours under the sugar
sheds and into other warehouses. The wish
of the DEMOCRAT In this very important mat
ter is to favor whatever plan will be In the
best interest OF the producer. and We would
like to have the subject thoroughly dis
cussed by both sides. It would
appear that tho time has arrived when there
should be a Sugar Exchange In this city, and
that the very primitive style Of disposing of
our sugar product should be abandoned but
we have no set views on the matter and would
be glad to hear from the parties Interested on
both sides, In order that q satisfac Dry soIu-
tton may be arrived at. Under the head OF
Letters from the People," we this morning
print letter from planter who complains
very bitterly Of the present system and
declares that, between the drawbacks OF the
sale on the open levee and the heavy tax Of
the sugar sheds, the planting interee, Is
made to suffer very seriously. The z e ses-
tion made In the letter that the subject of the
sugar mart be taken up at the meeting of the
Sugar Planters Association Is a good one,
and will, no doubt, be acted upon.
Meanwhile, however, we will be glad to ven
tiate the subject In the columns of the DEM
oCRAT, and invite communications from both
the planters and the buyers.

contest of Taft and Matthews practically
amounted to nothing. When the Republican
caucus met In Columbus last night. Garfield
was the emily candidate before 1t and was
nominated by acelamation. As the Republi-
cans have q large majority In the Legisla-

March, 1854. Gen. Garfield has long been in
public life. He will have served in the lower

when the present Congress expires. His ele-
walton to the Senate will give his party In the
upper branch an able and skilled partisan,

years ago, it possessed $4,000. II was deter

the centennial OF the organization Of the So
ciety, 1889, when It should be devoted to the
erection OF 8 monument to Washington. The
fund now amounts to $t55,0O0, and will prob
ably reach 5000, 900 by 1883.
