ties is patent upon the face Of eyery
act Of theirs, and unbluslingly done
too. People have 4 right to differ il,
opinion upon oil matters wherein tl,e
public veal is interested and those
differences should always be taken fol
what they are worth. But there sre

severe criticism and In this case tbey

lief, which the opposition to the extra
session plainly desires to withhold.
| perhaps for sinister purposes. AT
least such appears to be the only tan
gible reason for opposing d measure
that is plainly in the public interest.
The objections to reassembling the
Legislature, under a Gull of the Z act
ing Governor, are SO puefile, 80 insig-
niiicant and SO frivolous in character
as to bring smile upon the face Of
every intelligent man iii the State at
their simplicity in supposing that
they deceive anyone with the real
purport Of their aims. Men are al
ways Liable to mistakes--we may be
mistaken--but to use q very bomely
phrase in our defense, ut looks
mighty bad to man up a tree.'' A.
recent article ip city paper says the
extra session will cost the State about
fifteen thousand dollars, and then the
whole time OF the extra session will
be taken up in roll calls and other
frivolous matters! Aqueerobjection,
truly, and worthy the bright source
from which the brilliantidea emanat-
ed With all that, the people are
willing to take the chances, and now,
more than ever, call for an extra ses-
sion. See to it, Gov. McEneryl
These are not politicians, but wor-
Thy mouth-pieces of different sections
Df the State.
Abuse and groundless accusation is
very poor line Of battle, no matter
low much stress the blgoted pride of
IN individual may place upon it in
he secret confines of limited brain.
This species Of composition invaria.
Ny rebounds against the writer, while

'lctIon to the soul of intelligence and

POOR LOUISIANA.

Louisiana has a million in her treas
nry for the bondholders, but not one
cent for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Her
outstanding warrantsa amouDtt to $780,
OOO above estimates of probable re-
ceipts for the year. She seems to be
the victim of unwise legislation and
corrupt methods, and to make the
matter worse she is common game for
Democratic as we'll as Republican rob-
bers. HMcEnery does not cleanse
the Augean stable bis friends abroad
will be disappointed in their estimate
OF the man.-Galveston News.
We would remind our confrere of
the News that "charity begins at
home" Let it whip up the game horse
in Texas, where there are great
many reforms needed. Louisiana
will take care of itself. Gov. McEn-
cry will steer the old ship Of State
out of the breakers. Texas had COM
paratively little radical corruption
to cleanse from her borders, while
Louisiana was literally dragged in the
mire. AT the same time Texas had
millions of acres Of State lands, which
enabled her to quickly restore her
financial equilibrium. No other South
ern State possessed such advantages.
Upon the defeat of the radical yul-
lures, Texas had comparatively no
liabilities. But poor Louisiana stood
over forty million dollars in debt.
These liabilities had to be adjusted,
and the most successful fnanciers in
the universe could not have compile
ted the work during the short period
OF Democratic predominance unless
the people had been literally robbed
OF their entire possessions.
That we have had delinquent legis-
lators who disgraced their constitu-
ency we do not deny-as regards
members of the Democratic party.
The weight of their influence rests
mainly on the basis Of corruptive ele-
ments which are still left to battle in
isolated sections against the glittcrinc
shields OF that famed old party. 1t
requires time to correct these evils,
unless there is a resort to violence,
and this is a spirit which fosters vice
and produces crime and anarchy.
The Democratic party cannot be
held responsible for the evils which
exist concerning our State finances,
and no reasonable, logical individual |
will be SO foolish as to make such an
assertion. 1t was her province to de-
stroy the terrible incubus and re-es-
tabllsh the rights of a long wronged
people. A part Of this work she has
already accomplished --and she will
flnaily restore every department Of
)ur State government to its former
grandeur and nobility.
