Many farmers have been busy
for several days moving crab grass
hay. When properly handled and
nicely cured it makes delicious and
nutritious food for stock. Every
thing that will save corn should be
housed for winter use before frost
comes. The woods are now matted
with splendid, tender grass and
cattle are as fat as butter balls;
hence they will start upon the COM
ing winter in good condition. and
with proper attention they will be
able to ''stem the storm on very
short feed. Let the corn cribs
remain locked against the hunger
of stock just as long as possible,
for com next Spring is going to be
scarce and very high.

Tho Clarion is read and maid for

The Clarion is read and paid for
by nearly every white family in the
parish. We also have on our
books the names of great many
colored men, who show their APP
probation of a live, newsy, self
sustaining paper by the cheerful
spirit with which they pay for it.
This is right in our colored people.
We wish every one in the parish
could and would read a journal
that is devoted, as is the Clarion,
to the material interests and well
fare of Louisiana. The colored
mans interest is the white mans
interest, and when one prospers
the other does. We need but to
understand one another to be sue
cessful in the different spheres
which we occupy. Let every black
man in Morehouse take his parish
paper, 1t is money well invested.

There is one thing in connection with
the attempted assassination of the presi-
dent that it would be well for the news
papers of the country to bear in mind,
namely, make as little reference as possible
to the wretch Guiteau who did the deed.
A desire for notoriety was in all probabili-
ty strong compelling cause; it is every
newspapers business to see that he gets as
little advertising as possible Ali special
articles devoted to him, all cuts of the
proprietors of some patent incline, pur-
porting to be pictures of him, and heading
a column devoted to true or pretended
account of his career, are so much toward
the fulffllment of his ambition Let him
alone, do not make his crime appear either
more or less henious by wide pubiica-
ton of his life Let the authorities deal
with him without comment, disappoint his
hopes by silence

When the Republicans of our sister state
they searched the words of politics for mate
rails and bent all the energies their mas
sive brains to the construction, the result Is
always wonderful to look upon-a beautiful
example of what men can't do. They were
bound to find some moral issue, and find
it they did They declared against immor-
ality but it was immortality as exempitied
by polygamy-in Utah. The temperance
question they settled by resolving to sub
NIT it to the people, clever way of stat
ingsthat they were perfectly willing to agree
with the people, whichever way they
might vote Then came the browning efforts
they must have some resolutions which com
mitted the party to something, and conse-
quently they resolved for the improvement
oftheMississippi a glorious resolution which
greatly pleased its trainers, because there
are probably not two men in Iowa, outside
of an insane asylum, who are not in favor
of the improvement of the river. Then
came up an anti-monopoly plank and they
gloated over that awhile, although itiis the
generally accepted belief in Iowa that
anti-monopoly planks should be addressed
to the members of the legisla-
ture instead of their constituents
for while the Republican voters
of Iowa are all seemingly unit on that
question and agree with the democrats, as
soon as one of them gets into the Legisla-
ture a violent change seems to strike him,
and anti-monopoly looses its charms.
Their last effort was anti trichina which
was most useful, as it will probably have
a startling effect on the hog. The plat
form is a beautiful platform, the only
trouble with it being it don't mean anything.
The democrats of Iowa are not likely to
uphold polygamy in Utah or elsewhere as
a God ordained institution, neither does
the record of the party show them averse
to river Improvement or in favor of mon
opoly, and as far as trichina is concerned,
if legislation is of value they are willing.
Take it all in all the platform means as
little as well can be.

The Republicans throughout the COUNT

The Republicans throughout the country
or, rather, majority of them, have been
very hasty in their comments on Arthur as
a probable President, and the results that
could be expected from his occupancy OF
the office. Every Republican that voted
for Arthur as vice-President, did so with
the full knowledge that only one mans life
stood between him and the Presidency.
Furthermore, everything that Is known
about Arthur now, was known at the time
of his nomination and before his election,
consequently Republicans are to a
certain extent estopped from their com
ments. But it is not so clear that all
all that has been said is just to Mr.. Arthur.
Common justice and common decency de
mand that he should not be handicapped
in advance with the abuse of the organs of
the very party which has put him into the
position he now occupies. But nothing
that the Republican organs can say of the
reeklessness with which Presidential and
Vice Presidential nominations have been
made by the Republican party can be I'M
just to that party. MIR. Hayes was nomin-
ated by the Republicans for the Presidency
as recklessly as Mr. Arthur for the Vice
Presidency, and it must be very bitter
enemy of Mr.. Arthur indeed who would
not think it safer to trust Mr.. Arthur for
the first time to-day with the Presidency
than to trust Mr.. Hayes with it for the
second time.

by the assault made upon the President
