ANOTHER RICHMOND In THE
FIELD.

Among tue numerous gentlemen who
are being mentioned in connection with
the Democratic Congressional nomina-
tion in the Sixth District We are pleased
note Gen. Allen Thomas, for several years
past a resident Of the city of Baton
Rouge and formerly prominent aud es-
teelned citizen of Ascension parish.
The Sixth District is favored with a
brilliant galaxy of asprants for the va
camcy resulting from the death of Major
Heron, and the selection of almost any
one of these distinguished gentlemen
would no doubt rebound to the honor OF
the Democratic party and the advantage
Of the people of the district, but we can
say with confidence that mono among
them are more able, moro worthy, or
would represent tho interests Of the dis
trict and State with greater efficiency
than General Thomas. A ripe scholar, q
| splendid orator, possessing un unblem-
! ished record and :. handsome, command
ing figure, he il man to attract atten-
ton and enforce esteem and respect in
any position and any society. If sent to
Congress he would, by the power of his
talent and ability, rapidly acquire an in
fiuence and prominence III that body
that could not fail to prove in the high
| est degree beneficial 10 his constituents.
General Thomas is not al aspirant in
the ordinary sense Of the ternl-that is,
he is not pushing himself forward aud is
not canvassing for the position, but he
has signitied willingness to gratefully
accept the nomination if rendered, and
without in any manner rejecting upon
| the merits Of the other candidates, We
express the earnest belief that the COIL
vention could not do better than to &C.
lect him as the standard bearer of its
| party i'll the pending contest.
General Thomas has rendered distin-
guishei service to the Democracy of Lou
isiana in number Of campaigns; he llas
not only employed bis abilities n. an or
ator and a member Of parochial and State
committees and conventions, but has
freely expended his means in his party's
behalfs yet he has never hsll au Office Of
profit i'll Louisiana u received y dollar
from the public treasury. Such man
has high claims upon the gratitude of the
political organization with which he af-
flutes, and it would be Il graceful act
for the Democrats of the Sixth District
to acknowledge the obligation III this
instance by making Gen. Allen Thomas
their Congressional nominee.

THE suGAR TARIFF.

Hon. Duncan F. Kenner of Louisiana,
the Southern representative on the Tariff
Commission, expresses much satisfaction
with the work accomplished by that
body. Referring to the proposed mod
iication of the sugar tariff proposed by
the Commission, he says that when the
report is properly digested and under
stood, no grower Of sugar III Louisiana
will have amy cause for complaint. It
adjusts and harmonizes inequalities
which previously existed" Although
there is an apparent reduction Of from
fifteen to thirty-fve per cent. in the
present tariff contemplated by the re-
port, Mr.. Kenner has no hesitation in ex-
pressing the belief that the Introduction
of the polariscope test and the equaliza-
tons suggested will render the effect of
the amended tariff spon Louisianasug
almost infipitesimal. Open kettle sugars
are more likely to he affected than
those produced by the centrifugal pro-
cess, but even these will not suffer seri-
ously.
congressman Darrall of this District
has expressed the opinion that the
adoption by Congress of the schedule OF
sugar duties proposed by the Tariff
Commission will not materially injure
the sugar interests Of our State.

POINTS FROM TIE MESSAGE.

Ii, his message to Congress President
Arthur recommends the abolition of all
revenue taxes excepting those upon
tobacco, distilled and fermented liquors
and dealers in those articles.
He thinks delay in providing for the
further improvement Of the Mississippi
river until the next Congress assemblies
might be attended with serious conss-
quences, and theoretically suggests that
provision for this work be made in a
separate bill, inasmuch as the practice
heretofore in vogue Of grouping SO many
appropriations together in tue river and
harbor bill, impels congressman to vote
for and the President to approve meas
ures and items that they regard of doubt
full justice or utility and would rather
oppose than support, or to accept the al
tentative of antagonizing appropriations
which they neem necessary and advan-
tageous to the public interests.
The President concurs in the recon-
mendation of the Postmaster General
that letter postage be reduced to two
cents, but declines to approve the sugges-
ton that the telegraph system Of the
country should be placed under the con-
troll of the Post-office Department.
"The present tariff SYSTEM" says the
President, is, in many respects, unjust.
It makes unequal distributions both OF
its burdens and its benefits. This fact
was practically recognized by the pas
sage of the act creating the Tariff Com
mission. Without entering
into minute details, which under present
| circumstances is quite unnecessary,
recommend an enlargement of the free
list so as to include in it the numerous
articles which yield inconsilerable rev.
enue a simplifcation Of the complex
and inconsistent schedule of duties upon
certain manufactures, particularly those
of cotton, iron and steel, and a substan'
tial reduction Of the duties upon those
articles and upon sugar, molassos, silk
wool and WOODEN goods"
The increasing interest manifested by
the people, without distinction Of party
in the subject Of civil service reform, il
noted by the Executive, who declares
that legislation tending 10 a correction
of the evils which attach to the present
methods Of appointment will meet will
his hearty approval. He further averl
that political assessments upon Office
holders should he prohibited by law ant
that he will sign bill encompassine
that object.
The views of the Secretary of thu
Treasury as to the best methods of avert
ing the likelihood Of serious contrac
| ton of tho circulation Of national bank
meet with favorable comment.
Tho matters of determining the mod,
of ascertaining and counting the electo
al vote, and Of investing the Vice Presi-
dent with executive functions in case o
the inability of the President to dis
charge the duties of his Office, are pro
nounced questions of great gravity, ant
the trust is expressed that q failure tt
decide them prior to the next genera
election may not result in embarrass
| ment to the country

Just after the vote Of the Third Dis
trict was promulgated by the State
Board of Canvassers and while Gov.
McEnery had the matter of issning the
certificate under advisement, Senator
Jonas of Louisiana was interviewed at
Washington by correspondent of the
Baltimore american and intcrrogated as
to his opinion Of the Kellogg case. His
reply was that Mr.. Kellogy's name would
be placed on the roll of the House, even
though no certificate should be given to
any one, and that the Clerk would be
bound to recognize his rights. 81 don't
think Congress will take adverse action
OH his case-in fact, l know So" said the
Senator, accompanying the remark with
q, significant blink as he walked away.

Mr. John H. Dinkgrave of Onachita
parish, one Of the most prominent white
Republicans Of North Louisiana, has ad-
dressed letter to the Republican State
Central Committee formally declaring
his withdrawal from politics and resign
ing his membership Of the State COM
n'ittee. The main reason assigned for
this step is that the colored voters of
Mr.. Dinkgravo's section failed to sup
port the Republican candidate at the re-
cent election though no influences were
exerted to interfere with a free express
sion Of their choice at the ballot box.

Judging from the general tone of the
Democratic State press in commenting
upon the Third District imbroglio, we
should say that the two men most UNI
popular with the Democratic party of
Louisiana are W. p. Kellogg and Joseph
H. Acklen. In most cases where they are
criticised Kellogg of course comes in for
the severer rub, but instances are not
wanting where Acklen gets the harder
knock. The Claiborne Guardian, for ex-
ample, candidly declares that "Acklen
would injnre the party more than Kel-
logg," and expresses the opinion that if
the outcome Of tho election "only re-
suits in putting Acklen ont of the way
permanently, it will be good thing for
the Democrats of the Third District
Outside Of the State, and especially at
the National Capital, where lie is best
known and where tho greater portion of
his public record has been made, he is
oven less highly esteemed in the ranks
Of his own party. The Washington Post,
which is the leading Democratic paper
of that city, applies to Mr.. Acklen the
epithet of ga national nuisance,n and
thinks he ought to lie satisfied with the
notoriety he has gained in that role, in
stead of pushing his absurd claini to a
seat in Congress after being most sig
| nally defeated.
