THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY,, MARCH 81 1880

DO know that he would make In every respect a
safe and satisfactory President.
Although gentleman Of unquestionable
ability, the fact OF his prominent connection
with the great railroad interests Of the coun-
try will be considered to his disadvantage by
those who view with apprehension the vest
power and influence exerted by railroad cor
porations. We note, however. that The advo-
Gates Of Mr.. Jewett's nomination use the ar
guments which would, In this sense, preju-
dice his aspirations as reason for his nomi-
nation, claiming that the support Of
the railroad companies, with their i'm.
mense corps of employees and vast
capital, would 20 far to offset the vantage
claimed for 1.-THE man on horseback" Mr..
Jewett's candidacy cannot be expected to at
tract much attention in louisiana, as be ID
comparatively unknown to the people, and
their preferences are already set In other
directions. There can be little doubt OF the
fact that majority Of the Democrats Of this
State would prefer the nomination OF Gen.
Hancock, but as to how far this preference
can be exhibited, consistent with the
success Of the party. can only be de-
termined at the meeting Of the Ma
tional Convention. In the meantime,
and In order that our views may not be mig
understood, we take this occasion to say that
We find no fault whatever with the gentlemen
who are conducting the Hancock movement
In this State; their support could not be ac-
co rded better man, and 1t will afford us I'M
fei gned pleasure to contribute to his election
II made cur standard bearer by the Cincinnati
Convention.

OUR PUBLIC RESORTS.

Il 10 matter for congratulation that bott
the railroad companies owning steam linef
to Lake PORfchartrain have determined t0
embellish the termini Of their roads 20 as Il
make them compare favorably with other
seaside resorts. This IL decidedly step In
the right direction. New Orleans has fewer
places Of public resort and fewer beautiful
drives than any city Of any pretensions on
the continent, while our parks are really an
offense to the Peep ather than benefit.
OF course, this woul not have been 80 had
we not suffered from the effects OF dreadful
war, followed as 1t was by more than ten years
OF misgovernment and calamities Of every
kind, and we do not propose to censure our
people for the existing condition Of affairs.
But the time has come when, having secured
government Of our own. and enjoying In
some measure the return OF prosperity, we
should take steps to beautify our city and
render 1t an attractive resort to the thou
sands who would surely visit us annually,
both Ill winter and summer, II they were
offered the Inducements held out by other
and less pleasant cities. The first great step
towards making 1t attractive to summer vis-
1t ors iB to make It healthful, and this our san
itarlans have undertaken to do, anG we be-
lieve will do. with the cordial cooperation
they will unquestionably receive from State
and city authorities. There Ia very much,
however, that might be done as regards our
public parks and drives, by individuals,
that would tend to enhance the city's
attractiveness and be OF vast benefit to our
resident population. In the depleted condl-
ton OF the city's treasury she can do but very
little just now towards establishment, but
we have public-spirited citizens who can and
should take sufficient interest In the city to
move In the matter Of identifying our parks
80 that they would be pleasant places of re-
sort for our people.
To those persons who have visited the cities
Of the North and West and seen the exquisite
parks which they provide for the enjoyment
and recreation Of their residents 1t 10 no
longer wonderful that people from all parts
OF the country should flock to them, tor the
love Of the beautiful is innate In human
nature. and those who minister to the es-
thetic tastes OF the people unfailingly reap a
rich reward. It is this esthetic taste which
we should strive to cultivate In New Orleans,
and with our great natural advantages It
should be no very difficult matter to make
New Orleans one Of the most beautiful and
delightful cities on the continent, as 1t already
is, according to Mr.. Sala, the most interest
ing.
Private enterprise can do and is doing
much to make our lake shore attractive. and
we expect to see the day when the residents
OF New Orleans. instead Of running or to the
North and to the watering places in other
sections Of the country, will be contented
with their villas on the shore OF Lake Pont-
chartrain, within half hours drive OF the
city

such points as the position and force Of the
United States troops may render advisable
and necessary. These attempts are to be kept
up until lodgmentis effected. Il is believed
that the right Of ejectment can be enforced
by the government only while crossing what
Is recognized as Indian reservation. and that
II lodRemeat is secured by any OF these
detachments large enough for self-protection,
the question will be settled by the acquies-
cence Of the government, or the matter will
be brought before the United States courts,
when the legal status Of the Territor y Ia ques-
tion will be definitely decided.

In a recent Issue Of the DEMOCRAT we alluded
to the vast iron resources OF Virginia and pre-
dicted q great future for that old common
wealth when her mineral wealth should be pro-
perly developed. An important Increase In the
production OF iron In Alabama. by the In
creased working Of the mines and the building
OF new furnaces and rolling mills. Is now no
ticed. It is expected that great advantages will
accrue to the State. and the work is being as
sisted by the railroad lines running through
the neighborhood where iron ore is found.
This region Is In Jefferson county. which lies
little north OF the centre OF the State. being
about 100 miles northwest OF Montgomery, be-
tween the Ooosa and Black Warrior rivers. The
largest town Ia Birmingham. with population
of 1900. where new iron rolling mill Is build
ing and will be ready for business by the first
of June. Several new furnaces are likewise
building at the same place, and at other small
towns near by mines are being worked and
furnaces are In use. At one of these, Oxmoor.
the furnaces are now making q profit OF from
$4,000 to $500 per day. turning out between 200
and $50 tons of cast iron. A great advantage is
that the mines and furnaces can be run the
whole year Without any stoppage. and by this
and other facilities. such as cheap labor. the
cost OF manufacturing iron of the best quality
can be kept down to SO per ton, which, at the
prices ruling now. secures an immense profit.
1t Is thought that this will be only beginning
OF the development OF the mining resources of
Alabama

THE SPELLING REFORM

Two or three years ago the ADVANCE
spoke out in favor of the spelling re-
form and urged that the way to estab.
lish it aud to make il success was for
the newspapers to adopt it, and not
wait for scholars aud photographers to
lead off. This ''boom" which we can
claim to have started is beginning to
extend. The New York Truth Seeker
a year or more ago began by dropping
the final ''e''in such words as ''have''
"are," etc. The Chicago Tribune last
winter adopted the phonetic spelling
more fully, dropping the final ''e'' ex-
cept when the preceding vowel had
the long sound. Thus it spells dema-
gogue ''demagog" but prorogue is not
changed as the vowel is long.
The New York Home Journal, which
is quite literary authority, has now a.
dopted it and publishes about 1G0 let
ters from Professors and scholars ap-
proving of the movement.
Several county papers have already
begun the reform. and we would sug-
gest that at the next Editorial Conven-
ton in this State the matter b. discuss
ed and the reform adopted.

.TAIT THIRD YEn1tIS.

While the big papers are congratulate
ing themselves over the defeat Of Third
Termism and saying Il told you so,
II helped kill Cock Robin," etc., the
ADVANCE desires to modestly chime in
and say that it is gratllied. It can
claim another triumph for ''our side"
Ever before Grant landed atsSan Fran
cisco, the ADVANCE snuffed the battle
afar off, and called the coming ovation
Il Presidential boom. The ADVANCE
''sat down on it" then and there to the
extent Of its avolrdupois. So far as we
know, it was about the first county pa
per to make anything like a decided
fight OH Third -TcImism. So we want
to rejoice along with the big P. T., the
e. c., the n. Y. T., and other big pa
pe;s, who were much slower about fall
ing into line than the smaller w. A.

I read your powerful poem to appre-

fails to take hold of them. 1t is.alWays

mind wonderfully. A few days sinceI
was in the newspaper Office at and
the editor, a young man, handed me a
little pamphlet poem sent him. .Por-
tions of it are in the same vein as your
discourse on MATURE" It is well and
carefully written, but lacks fire and
originality. He wanted my opinion of
the poem as he thought it far better
than ordinary newspaper effort in that
line. I read a page Of it aloud to him
and then mentioned yours, and took it
from my wallet and read him your
words on the same theme. It. fairly
took him off his feet. When I had fin
ished there were tears i'll his eyes and
