POOR LOUISIANA.

Louisiana has a million in her treas
ury for the bOndholders, but not one
cent for administration purposes. Her
outstanding warrants amountto $780,
600 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. If McEnery does not cleanse
the Augean stable his 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 ale 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 inthe
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 vul-
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 performance 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 glittering
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-
tablish the rights of a long wronged
people. A part of this work she has
already accomplishment she will
finally restore every department of
our State government to its former
grandeur and nobility.

1t is said that to him who goes to law,
nine things are requisite. In the first
place, a good deal of money; second, a
good deal of patience; third, good
cause; fourth, good attorney; fifth,
good counsel; sixth, good evidence +;
seventh, good jury; eighth, a good
judge; and ninth, good luck.

Don't be whining about not having a
fair chance. Throw a sensible man out
of q window, he'll fall on his feet and
ask the nearest way to his work. The
more you have to begin with, the less
you will have in the end. Money you
earn yourself is much brighter than any
you can get out OF dead mems bags. A
scant breakfast in the morning of life
whets the appetite for feast later in
the day. He who has tasted sour ap-
pie viii have more relish for a sweet one.

According to law there is no such per,
son as Mrs. John Smith. They may be
a Sarah, wife of John, and the Postof-

under no circumstances has Mrs. John a

itself inexorably correct, even though
it r0bs q man of his better half.

The Democratic Platform

The platform adopted by the recent
Democratic State Convention is a straight
forward, practical and sensible paper.
1t deals in no latitudinous generalities
and idle sentimentalities, but addresses
itself in practical and sensible way to
such departments OF the public SER
vice as, in the judgment of the convention.
needs reforming. The question of a new
registration of voters is dealt with in a
manner that must command the approval
of all. A committee of gentlemen, well
known for their public spirit and high
character, has been appointed to draft a
bill for this purpose. This course it is to
be hoped, will serve to reconcile Gov
Hamilton to the provisions of the bill
and avoid the possibility of the defeat OF
the measure through factionsl opposition
The legislative expenses are dealt with
in the same practical and unequivecal
manner The Democratic people of the
State a.e urged to enjoin upon their rep.
resentatives in the next legislature their
duty of reducing the expenses of the Gen
eral Assembly to the smallest amount
compatible with efficient public service
and regulating the same by positive laws
We are sure the local Democratic conven
rions will not fail to impress these re-
quiremen's upon their representatives
and we doubt not that judicious law
upon the suffice. will be enacted at the
next session.
1t is of course not to be understood from
the limited declarations of the platform
that he pruning knife of judicious legis
lation will not be, also, applied to som,
other branches of the public service
The purpose of the platform is to sci
forth tbf more prominent measures which
demand Legislative atteation. The &C.
complishment of whatever further legisla.
tion, and wholesome measures of reform
that the public interests may require, is
provided for in the concluding sentence
of the platform: ut is your duty TO Sc
lect, as your representatives in the Cen
eral Assembly of 1882, the ablest and most
respected Of those who share yorr convic-
tions, to the end that your proper infu-
ence may be fully exerted, and your
purposes be carried int complete effect,
by the enactment of adequate laws"
Every true Democrat in the State should
labor earnestly and intelligently to the at
tainment Of this latter end The next
legislature should be truly repreresen-
tative body Of the intelligent Democracy
Of the State. Upon it wi devolve the
important duty OF making our public ser
vice in lis every department above it's sus-
picion, and thus leave no possible excuse
or show Of justification for designing men
hereafter to base factious contentious
upon.

cracy of the State Endorsed the past man.
agement of tie State finances BY Hon.
Thomas ]. Heating in. his nomination
without dissenting vote, by the DEM
ocratic State Convention, is but grace
full, just and well merited tribute to that
gentleman's abilities, sterling integrity
and past official conduct. 1t is also just
and scathing rebuke upon those who have
so recklessly and inconsiderately assailed
his official actions. We have no com
ment to offer upon the action of the dele.
gates from two counties who declined to
vste in the convention. 1t is for the hon
est and conservative Democracy of the
counties whence they came to pas. judg.
ment upon them, and we feel sure that
they will do so in no unmistakable terms
We publish elsewhere Mr.. Keatings letter
OF acceptance, to which we invite the es.
pecial attention of our Democratic readers
The letter manifests no spirit of eqivoca
ton or desire to dodge any issues but
speaks right out in the unmistakable Ian
guage of an honorable man and homes,
official. 1t shows that our worthy candi.
date enters the contest without fear, and
we confidently predict that he will emergs
from it without just reproach.

Immigration for the South.

Within the past few months a large
number of foreign immigrants have passed
through this city to locate in Virginia
and the Carolinas. OF these nearly two
thousand (the majority being Alsa ians,l
are settling in the neighborhood of Sails
bury, N. C. Many of these arrived by the
German line in Baltimore, while others
landed in New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia. As is usual the the great major
ity of the armies now landing upon our
shores GO west, but the proportion already
gone south and the parties daily passing
in that direction is encouraging TO those
who have interested themselves in turning
a portion of the tide of immigration that
way. With view OF settling the country
the Associated Railways of Virginia and
the Carolinas have, through Mr.. Alfred
Pope, of Richmond, established what may
be called an immigration bureau. Agents
of the line meet The immigrants in the
northern cities and give them information.
Those who desire it are forwarded South,
and all along the road the agents are
ready to show lands to such as wish to
purchase, or to obtain employment for
those who have to work for others. At
Salisbury, N. c., an immigrants home has
been establish ed. were they Are lodged
and fed for reasonable time, and, in adj
ditisn, in cases Of negotiation for lands,
the services of legal counsel are given
free. In this connection it may be men
toned that since April 1, 23,Os3 immi-
grants have arrived at Baltimore on the
steamships of the North German Lloyd
line Washington Star, 25h inst.

their appeintees are free from this danger
Gus heresy. And so it should be in those
few States, where their constitutions have
as we think unwisely, invested the cleo
ton of judicial officers in the people, that
the Democratic people should exercise
equal care in sscertaining and preserving
the conservatism OF the Judiciary.
Our impression is that the precedents
are uniform in our own State, and in 9th
ers where the elective system is practiced
for the political parties, since the present
constitutional issues have existed, to make
nominations for judicial officers. We do
not know of one instance, where tHe two
parties have been at all on combative
footing, that they have failed to do SO.
In answer to the objection that the CEN
trail committees of some of the counties of
the circuit were not fully represented at
the meeting of the State committee, it
must be said that the absent members of
the local committees were alone in fault
as the meeting had been duly called and
all members notified ofthe time and place.
With regard to the objection that in the
last election the Republicans had ma
jority in the circuit Of over ninety votes,
it must be remembered that there was a
detection in our own county last fall, re-
sulting from the unfortunate contest ~
the primaries, which it is to be hoped will
never exist again. Had perfect harmony
existed in this county, we believe that the
circuit would have shown a Democratic
majority. 1t must be remembered, too,
that "the victory is not te the strong n
lone; but to the vigilant, the active, the
brave!'
