that the negroes of that parish say
that it is the comet which is causing

Party Politics.

Politics, as the science of human
government, is in every important
sense exclusively practical. How
ever charming and apparently de-
inonstrable theory may be, it must
work well practically or it is of no
account. 1t may even be abstractly
true, yet ifnot adapted to the times,
occasion and people, it is only mis-
chievous. Utility is, in fact, the sole
test of party politics, aside from
plain principles of justice and equity.
This is point which politicians are
apt to overlook. An eloquently
worded set of resolutions "a neat
and ingenius theory, apparently de
monstrable-a taking apothegm-a
telling and adroit speech--carry
sometimes the popular will and judg
ment, whereas they should have no
more practical influence than any
smart talk upon the economy of
fan1Ry. The politics Of a nation is
like the domestic economy of a fam
iiy.s No smartness will compensate
what is practically injurious, and
the proof of wisdom lies in practical
ly beneficial results. Speculative
theories are pretty, but what is need
ed is solid advance in prosperity.
So in party management. The
test of wisdom is success. We may
admire abstract ability, but if the
elections do not foot up right, We
might as well do without it. Moth
ing is of any value in politics with
out success. That is the point we
want our Democratic politicians to
consider we'll. They may be adroit,
eloquent, popular. They may corus-
ate and dazzle. They may tickle or
sting with wonderful power; but if
they can't succeed, they are failures.
Success means a wise and careful
admiration of means to ends. The
ability to devise and the power to
execute. For moro than half a score
Of years the SO called Republicans
have been taunting the Democrats
with fatal imbecility-a non com
prehension born of an obstinate
stupidity called Borrbonism. Now,
from the days of Jefferson to those
of Buchanan the Democracy con
trolled the country and displayed all
the political sagacity and aptness
that were ever known. The Democ-
racy of to-day comprehends the mass
of that Democracy, and the so.called
Republicans comprehend the mass
of the then opposition. Neither his
torically nor lineally do the Democ-
racy come by the name of fools, and
the time is not distant when they
will resume permanently the admin
istration OF this government. Dem
ocratic sblundersn are easy in the
face of Democratic unpopularity.-
Republican plumbers and crimes are
readily condoned under the plea of
Republican loyalty. AS time re-
deems Democracy from prejudice
parties will become more amenable
to the same rules Of judgment, and
blunders will cease to be altogether
Democratic.

The Vicksburg Herald thus serves
mp the partisan Office seeker: "There
is no profession or occupation that
does so much work for parties and
politicians for which it receives NO
pay whatever, as the newspaper pro.
fession. Many a scrub is hoisted
into power by the newspapers, who,
after he is dressed in a little brief
authority instead of paying his
debts to them, turns on them and
rends them because they refuse to
continue to advertise him. The
Dallas Herald says: Gall this is
true. But who is at fault if not the
newspaper conductors Nobody.
An editor or publisher who deems
it his chief mission on earth to blow
a horn for some professional politi-
clan, brimful of offensive selfishness,
deserves all the kicks, cuffs, aud
snubs that can be dealt him by the
bcnefciaries of bis labors." And
the Herald is right. An editor who
will play toady and boot-lick to
Office seekers and office holders, de-
grades bis manhood and disgraccs
his calling, and deserves, not only
the abuse Of "scrub politicians but
the contempt and ostracism of every
descent person in the land. Away
with the dirty editorial Hessians who
will sell their opinions and dishonor
their columns for a few Htreats," or
few dollars of patronage, at best.
Out with them, say we, that the ed
itorial atmosphere may be purified.

The Shreveport Standard, after
careful study, has found out what is
the matter, and says: "And thus
has the law which was intended by
our Solons to appreciate State war
rants been brought to a standstill in
the largest taxpaying locality in the
State before dollar has been paid
into the treasury. People need not
ask now why our warrants are so
low in the market, or why the baby
bonds based on these back taxes,
are practically worthless. Tho State
cannot, as it should seem, command
either the craftsmanship to frame a
tax law that will hold water, or the
capacity in her officers to administer
the laws that are enacted for them.
Our condition is a deplorable one
indeed. 1t seems to be assumed in
New Orleans that the General AS
sembly can afford some relief. We
have little hope of any such thing.
The Legislature has tried its hand
SO often and failed that We have
ceased to look for any relief in that
direction

The stranger.


Public attention is much engrossed
at this time by the appearance in the
heavens of a somewhat unusual WIS.,
itor, whose advent has at all times
caused many speeulations and has
given rise to many conjectures of
evil among the supcrsitious. Of all
the celestial bodies none are more
mysterious than comets, and there
are not wanting numbers of persons
who entertain the opinion that they
may at some time happen in the
track of our planet and cause
its destruction. Their strange APP
pearance has uniformly brought ter
ror TO the minds of the more igno-
rant who look upon them as the fore
runners of war, pestilence and
famine.
Modern observations render all
such conclusions not only doubtful,
but ridiculous, and it seems to us
that men of science should take
every available opportunity to dis
abuse the minds of people who see
terror and devastation in what is
known as the common order of
things. Although superstitious no
tons have always gained a foothold
at every appearance of comets, yet
there can be no question that they
are as intimately connected with a
system of the creators beneyolence
as are the solar radiations and their
benign influence on our globeand on
the other planets.
It has been conjectured that com
cts may supply moisture to the other
planets, or that they may recruit the
sun with fresh fuel and repair the
consumption OF light. But whatever
may be the objects of their forma-
ton, we should have faith enough in
the Great Being to believe that in
their creation He designed good
rather than evil. They should not
be looked upon as objects of terror
or harbingers of evil, but rather of
nsw scenes of creating power which
only celebrates in a loftler manner
the wonders Of Omnipotence.
Viewing our bright stranger from
this standpoint let us behold the
sight with complacency, and let us
bow with more reverence than ever
to the hand that guides it through
space. If there be any who think
for moment that the new conner
bears any relation whatever to old
mother Shipton's ridiculous s0-called
prophecy we hope they will dismiss
all such childish fears. From their
fist recorded discovery down to the
present, these heavenly visitors
have made periodical journeys near
the earth and our planet "still lives.n

of L. p. Morton, for United States min
lister to France.
The democratic caucus is hearing the
report of tho committee on the revision
of the senate committees. Davis, of Ill
inois, is given the Judiciary committee
and Pendleton and Mcpherson succeed
Herman and Wallace on the finance
committee. The republicans are also in
caucus.
The President and Blame and Win
dom now favor an extra session, and un-
less the present status changes, an extra
session will be called about the middle
of May, when the republicans can con-
troll the house and probably the senate
also.
Malone again refused to enter into
either caucus to-day. II he continues
silent it is not improbable that the re-
publicans and democrats will agree on

Chicago, March 9.--Apprcciation in
rents is going to be a serious matter
with tenants. They find themselves con-
fronted with dilemma-very much
higher prices for their present locations,
and an impossibility Of doing any better
by moving, while many who have thro wn
M their leases because Of the rapacity
of landlords, find themselves unable to
secure new quarters. This condition of
affairs arises, according to real estate
men, not from the paucity of building op-
erations during the past year, for many
large and commodious buildings have
been erected), but from the rush to the
city of new business firms. What is true
of rents in the business part of the city,
is also true of residence rents. and the
first of May will witness such scramble
for houses as was never seen here before.
It looks rs though many people would be
entirely homeless, although according to
building statistics, recently issued, over
Ave thousand residences were erected
during 1880 in Chicago. Homes which
two wears ago rented for $50 to $50 pei
month are now bringing $50 to Sl25, and
even higher proportionate rates are De-
ing fixed. In some cases i'll the business
sections, the advance ranges from titteer
to fifty per cent. One case is known II
which furniture firm, which last yea,
paid 5000 was asked to pay $4,000 for
three year lease and after looking
about the city and finding. no othe
building suitable. was compelled to nc
cede to the terms. In another instance

been $1,000 will pay. $500 the comln'
