THE NEW ORLEANS PAPERS AND
THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS.

The New Orleans papers are on a
"boom." The Times and Picayune
and Democrat, the great standard
morning dailies, are perfectly wonder
full in enterprise, dimensions and
promises. The Daily Evening States
has enlarged, and for the last day of
August printed Il double sheet full of
news, literature, politics and hope.
The growth Of the States is remark
able. The City Item alone seems to
meet the opening Of the commercial
year and the Texas Railroad with
equanimity. That flvorite evening
journal puts Oh no extra airs, but con-
tinues to delight its patrons with the
spiciesl jokes and sketches and stories
and locals. The Item has field of its
own, and cultivates it well.
1t is a source Of unmitigated pleas
ure to us to s, our New Orleans CO.
temporarics so full of energy and hope
fulness. IL IS good sign, and indi-
cative of Improvement and outcome i'm
the Crescent City, in whose advance
ment all the tributary country rejoiccs.
New Orleans is the natural outlet for
Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas. Whatever favors the fortunes |
of New Orleans, indirectly brings
comfort and prosperity TO the sur
rounding States. In very close sense
she is our metropolis her people are
IF our bone and sinew and sentiment.
They go with us, feel with us, har-
nonize with US, cooperate with us.
The trade of these States all other
