During one of our recent visits to New
Orleans we called at the Democrat office
and accompanied the business manager
of the paper, Mr.. W. H. II. Julsol1, Oh Il
tour of observation through the lower
story Of the Democrats new building, two
doors below its present quarters on
Camp street. We noted with interest
the numerous improvements and convc-
nicnces, but Of course the principa OBJ
ject Of attraction was the wonderful per
fecting press that was just being placed
in readiness to begin work. This splen-
did machine, Which represents the high
est degree of mechanical excellence yet
attained in the construction Of printing
presses, prints, cuts, pastes together and
folds ready for mailing about 1900
copies Of the Democrat per nonr, and is
we'll worth visit. This press is now i'll
daily use, and seems to be giving salts
faction. A new outfit Of type has also
been procured, which enhances the APP
pcaranGe Of the paper materially, and as
the forms are printed from clcctrotype
plates instead Of the type direct, q con
siderable saving in the wear and tear Of
material will be effected. The employ
mcnt of these improvements attcsts the
rapid progress which the Democrat is
making ill popularity, aud we are glad
to say its merit is keeping pace with it,
advancement in other rcsDects.

city, Mr.. II. J. Rlvet, president. AS its
name indicates, it is intended to be the
special representative Of the interests OF
the property holder, and the copy before
us certainly eyinces a faithful execution
of the purpose aimed at. The Organ may
be designated an experimental publica-
ton, as its continuance will depend upon
the encouragement which the project
has received after two numbers have
been issued. 1t says in its own behalf
