Ne " Orleans Wants to be Yankee City.

From tie New Orleans Times DENY
New Orleans is the smallest in the first
rank of American cities. She has lost her
relative position and importance, and has
gone down to the foot of the class. If she
is to get back again it must be by learning
her lessons She must do as the others
have done and are doing-accept the situa-
ton, go with the ceuntrys movement,
range herself with the advance, and, in her
practical common sense, forget the shadowy
dream of past that has gone forever. We
may as we'll make up our minds to it. New
Orleans, unless content to stay away down
at the tail and see herself outstripped by
cities Of yesterday, must become Yankee
CITY," just as New York, Brooklyn, Phila:
deiphia and Chicago are Yankee cities"
The Yankee cities are the rich and prosper
GUS cities. They have found out how to
grow and how to win. There can be no
great city on the continent Of North Ameri-
ca hereafter that is not a Yankee city. That
is very certain. The Yarkee cities some-
how haye the capital, the enterprise, the o.
ganizing power, THE skill that gets ON.
