The Times-DemocFat proposes issu-
ing a mammoth special edition on the
first of September, to be called the
"Trade Edition of the Mississippi Val
ley" 1t will embrace the greatest
fund of statistical matter ever before
published, relative to the commerce Of
the Mississippi valley. Another inter
esting feature Of the enterprise viii be
a four page map, embracing the Mis-
sissippi valley from St. Paul to the
Gulf, and from Pittsburg to Kansas,
with the addition Of map embracing
New Orleans and the countries border
ing the Gulf, including Mexico, the
Central American States, the lsthpmps
Of Panama, the northwestern States of
South America and the West India
Islands. The circulation Of this special
edition will doubtless far exceed any
similar publication ever gotten out in
the South. Il would be money well
spent on the part Of our people to have
Lake Charles and surrounding country
trUthfully pictured in column Of this
speeisl edition, copies Of which viii
penetrate every nook and corner almost
Of this country.

The iron turrets that have just been
put in position over the old towers, on
the east side of the Capitol, art already
relieving what seemed to be the IN
gainly keep over the centre of the
edifce, which, when completed, gives
promise te be, though unique in its
meIange of architectural styles, the
most pleasing to the eye that the South,
if not the entire country, will afford.
IT'S true that the strict economy
idea suggested that the capitol should
have been rebuilt according to the old
plan, but as we see Mr.. Freret's design
being developed, we unhestatingly say
that the commission have acted wisely
in causing an extra expense of about
fifty thousand dollars to give to the
people of this state the only edifice
they can point to with pride.
The nations of the earth have never
deemed it extravaganza to apply libeF-
ally public monies in erecting monu-
ments destined to live through ages.
This fact is so fully established that we
deem it unnecessary to point to the
specimens of architectural beauty, that
excite the just pride of the people of
the old continent,
In our own country, do We not see
the state of New York, spending tens
of millions of dollars at Albany, in the
construction of a capitol that will be
when completed the pride and boast
of the Empire Stata2
The renovated capitol of Louisiana
will not exceed in cost the sum of two
hundred thousand dollars, an amount,
comparatively trifing, when consider
ing the result being attained.
We arc glad to note that the mem
bers of the General Assembly, in great
majority, are viewing favorably the
action taken by the commission in the
premises, and that they stand ready to
appropriate the sum of thirty thousand
dollars asked of them to make the work
fnality.
The examination into the conduct
of those who have directed the recon
stFuetiop Of the cdifee, shows that
strict economy has been observed
throughout, and in fact, more work
has been done for the amount Of
money expended, than could reason
ably have been expected, In u word,
there have been no jobs lerpetrated
upon the state.

A Model for LoaIsinna.

| New orleans flcayune,I
The Picayune has received from the
Department of Agriculture at WASH
ington neatly printed pamphlet of
ninety-six pages text, besides title and
covers, about ninety pages of which
are occupied with q description of
Florida, its climate, soil, productions
and agricultural capabilities, prepared
for the department by George B. Carse,
and the remainder a special report on
nine of the counties by James Fl, Foss,
The notable feature of this pamph-
let is the plain statement of facts.
From the first page to the last 1t is
nothing else, There is no such ran
dom writing of superlatiye adjectives,
encomium and enthusiasm, as distin-
guishes most of the publications on
Florida. 1t is so compact that it is
impossible to read it hastily, AS Flor
ida is we'll known here, we do not call
attention to it for the purpose of ad-
vertising it or assisting immigration to
that state.
This pamphlet is the very thing,
however, which will induce immigra-
tion to Florida. 1t will be worth more
to that state than a hundred immigra-
tion agents, and it does not cost the
state a dollar. 1t is idle for Louisiana
to repine because she also is not gratu-
itousiy advertised. The large annual
visitation of Florida comes from every
quarter of the country, and from every
quarter, therefore, spring influences
which combine to procure from the gov
ernment such special notice. Louisiana
would be more visited if she were more
known. When our fair region beyond
the Teche, and our deleGtahle bluff
country, our prairies, pine and oak up
lands, become better settled and more
widely known, crowds will flock to
them from the North; but it takes
time to adj ertise our advantages. II
the legislature would give the commits
sioner Of immigration and agriculture
the means, Louisiana could have as
good an advertisement as could be de-
sired. 1t is only necessary to take
Prof. Hilgard's special census report,
and such additional facts as are already
accessible in other publications, and
prepare an essay on Louisiana, Hill
CARDS work is not in popular shape,
It is magazine of facts, but it will
not be read by the people, Carse's
work is exactly what is needed feF

The demand for increased wages
made by all classes Of laborers in the
Northern states during the past few
weeks, with the success that has attend
cd their strikes, is having its effect on
the laboring classes of the South. The
coopers of New Orleans are on the eve
of a strike, unless their wages are in
creased to more remuneratiye figures.
Often strikes are productive of more
harm than good to the laborer, but it
is generally when the move is made
hastily aud at an unpropitious moment.
1t is the only weapon of defense, how
ever, which is youchsafed the poor
man against the outrageous and IN
feeling demands of capital, and it is
not often resorted to when cireum
stances do not justify it.
