SALUTATORY.

Having purchased the NoRTHERNER of its
late proprietor, Mr. Henry S. Williams, with
this issue we embark upon what is To us
new and untried field of labor. 1t is with a
good deal of diffidence that we assume the
new duties we thus undertake. realizing that
the management of newspaper is position
of grave responsibility.
We doubt not that we shall make some
mistakes and commit frequent errors. but 1t
is our determination to use our best efforts
TO make the NoRTHERNER good newspaper.
Especial attention will be given to collect
ing and colating the latest local news, and
we shall aim to make the local department
interesting to all. We shall endeavor at all
times to cast our influence in favor OF all
matters which appear TO be for the advance
Inent of the best interests of the community,
either financially, socially or morally.
Politically the paper will continue i'll the
future, az il has so long been in the past,
thoroughly republican, and we shall improve
every opportunity whereby We may legiti-
mately and honorably advance the interests
of that party. But while We shall thus en-
deavor TO sustain and maintain the republi-
can party and secure the election of its nomi-
nees, we trust we shall be able TO treat po-
litical opponents with fairness and candor,
and avoid converting political discussion in
10 personal controversy.
We may in many instances fall far short
of the standard we would desire to attain,
for we have neither the experience nor the
ability TO do all that may be desirable in
this direction. We do not say we shall do
these things, only that we shall try.
TO our brethren of the press, we dof our
hats. make our journalistic bow and extend
friendly hand and say shake
To the patrons of the NoRTHHRSER we say.
try us, and if you continue the liberal patron
age that you have so generously extended to
our predecessors during many long years,
we will do our utmost to render you q full
and complete return therefor.

A full account OF the recent attempt to
murder Cyrus w. Field and William III. Van
derbilt, by means of internal machines, will
be found on the inside of this paper The
American people have read of the frequent,
and sometimes successful attempts of Mill
lists and Socialists in the old world, to take
the lives of individuals in q similar manner.
and have felt like returning thanks that they
lived in n country not cursed by such bar
barism. But it seems that the importation
of the political outcasts of Europe into this
country, and the marked increase of the
spirit of Agrarianism and Socialism, which
has resulted therefrom. together with the
pernicious doctrines of homemade political
blatherskites, of which our own State has
furnished its full quota, is producing its
Legitimate results. II is altogether probable
that the attempt upon the lives of these men,
which was far more likely to result in injury
or death TO others than TO them, was made
simply because of the antagonism which the
communstic hue and cry throughout the
country has caused against them be-
cause they are wealthy. No stone should be
left unturned to bring the perpetrators of this
outrage TO stern and speedy punishment
The only safety is to strangle this spirit of
communism before il shall commit other
and greater crimes.
This act may have been the work of a
mailman, and for the credit of our country
and humanity it is to he hoped il was, but the
fact of another explosion which took place af-
terward at the residence of Mr.. Davenport
points strongly TO the idea that there must
have been method in the madness that con-
ceived the scheme and that it was a deliber-
ate plan to perpetrate cowardly and bastard
ly murder.

Mr. Belmont of the congressional investi-

matter, undertook TO Olga pit FOR Mr. Blaine.
but that gentleman declined to step into it.
and exposed the doughty Belmont to the
ridicule of the people, whereupon he got
mad and said that he should hold Blaine
personally responsible. This sounded like
Southern chivslry OF former days, but Bel
mont cooled down and now says he won't
interfere with Blaine. Perhaps that is the
best way. Had he pursued the course he
intimated, he would only have made himself
still more ridiculous.

Mr.. Lynch was warmly greeted by his re-

The Decatur Republican of this week
brings forward the name of Hon. A. B. Cop
ley, for Auditor General. Mr.. Copley has
done good service as a member of tic Legis-
lature, and would, without doubt, make a
good State officer. II would be nothing
more than simple justice 10 the republicans
of Van Buren, county, to give them a candi-
date on the State ticket. It's long line of un-
broken republican majorities should entitle
this county to some consideration. If Mr..
Copley should prove to be the coming man,
we shall give him hearty support.

Still They Go.


lFrom the Lauderdale County (Ala.) News.l
There is no use Disgusting the fact,
North Alabama is on the down
grade. Our people are in worse
condition at this time than at any
period during the last fifty years.
How to tide over the Spring and
Summer until harvest time is the
anxious enquiry of every thoughtful
man in the community. Hundreds
of colored people have gone and
others are preparing to go where
they can get bread to eat. We do
not regret their going; they have
been no advantage to us since the
war. They have consumed more than
they provided, and exhausted our
lands by their wretched mode of
cultivation. The negro and cotton
have been our ruin; the sooner we
get rid of both, the happier and
more prosperous the country will be.
But what will the planters do if the
negroes 60 aways There is but one
remedy-white labor. A new sys-
tenn will have to be inaugurated.-
Cotton raising to great extent must
be abandoned. It is said cotton is
the only thing that will command
money; this is a mistake. Every
farm product will and does bring the
cash; corn, wheat, oats, hay, fruits,
hogs, cattle, mules, horses, anything
that the farmer can produce, will
bring the cash. But it don't come
i'll lump, don't look big like bale
of cotton. We are evidently drift
ing from bad to worse and unless
some change is made not only the
colored people but a large portion of
our white population must seek
new country. The spirit of enter
prise is nearly if not quite extinct.
We must wait until the old fogyism
that knows nothing but how to
make cotton dies out, and more
enlightened and thrifty people get
possession of the country before we
can expect to see a better state of
affairs.

Let the expenses of the State never
exceed its revenues, say we, and the
wished for result will surely follow.
1t is not only honorable, but honest,
to live within ones revenues
Lake Charles Commercial.
And let the expenses be reduced to
the lowest possible figures compati-
BILE with the public interests, say we,
especially for ornamental Office
holders who now draw big pay, di-
rectly or indirectly, and hire clerks
for a pittance to perform their duties.
Let the people look to this matter
and pay those only who do the work
and pay them no more than they can
obtain in private business. Let this
rule be universal and rigidly enforc-
ed and we should soon see the
scramble for Office with all of it's
double dealing chicanery, demorali-
cation and expense-which at last
comes out of the pockets of the tax
payers, every dollar of it-disappear
forever; and huge load lifted from

Our Public Roads.

There is no matter of general in
terest more important to all classes
of our people than the condition of
the public roads. Indeed without
good highways the material interests
of the people are bound to suffer to
a greater or less extent. Laws upon
the subject have been adopted time
and again, but the experience Of the
past two winters forces us to believe
that the true remedy has not thus
far been reached. To sum the ques-
ton up, we can say as our opinion
that we will never get good roads
until taxation is resorted to. It is
well known that people are averse
to working for nothing, and to ex-
pect men to work the road merely
for the love of it is asking more than
is generally conceded. Frequently
the mere form is gone through with
merely to comply with the law.
We hope when the Legislature
meets some action will be taken to
make the working of our public
roads more effective and more i'm.
perative. A very, very small tax
for the purpose, invested in durable
work, would result in the saving of
thousands Of dollars to the farmers
who have produce to haul. Let
something be done. Give Louisiana
better common roads; it will pay
in the end to have them.
