Unpromlslng Foreign Crops.

London Special.
The information | cabled to you
last week abOut the unpromIsing con-
ditiOn of our crops has been verified
by the many inquiries | have since
made in all quarters. Hay and clover
are very heavy, but much Of the growth
is down, and the weather is decidedly
unfsvorable to the chance of getting
it in good condition. Wheat is thin
and poor, having been checked by the
spring frosts and the cold nights
which we have been having down to
the present time. In the midland
districts the farmers have given up
all hopes Of getting more than halt
crop. In the home counties the
prospects are better, but the crops
everywhere must be light, and the
loss to the already sorely tried agri-
cultural community is severe. This,
of course, will add greatly to the diff
culties surrounding the land question.

Mahoneize Tennessee politically, and

Arthur, what is the use OF maintain
ing a separate orgsnlzatiOn2 Why
not vote for Hawkins openly, instead
of indirectly or covertly2 A craft that
sails under false colors in the time OF
war is sometimes treated as pirate.
II Memphis Ledger.
May we inquire Of the LEDGER why
it didn't support Hawkins when it
boIted in 1882 We have no desire to
enter into discussion of The matter
az the present time-time enough yet
to get hot-but we may further ln-
quire who turned the State over to
Hawkins" two years ago? Politicians
need short memories, verify Chat
tanooga Times.
Why, certainly; bless your soul, we
can tell all about it. In the first place,
we preferred Wilson to Wright, al
though the low tax platform was not
exactly to our liking; it was rather
contracted; was constructed hastily as
we have been informed, and was not
inviting enough to the mod
crate. conservative kind of slow
geing, considerable Democracy to
which the LEDGER belongs. However,
taking the two together, Mr.. Wilson
and his platform, we supported him in
preference to the John V. Wright
style of Democracy. That was one view.
In the second place, we thought for
time that there could be some sort Of
q compromise effected by which the
number Of Democratic candidates
could be reduced 10 one. Personal
appeals to this end were made, but in
vain. Then further, there was good
reason to believe, up to the last mo-
ment, that Wilson was leading Wright
and might carry the great body Of the
Democracy and possibly be elected.
When this was discovered to be doubt
full on the eve of the election, it was
too late to change front. Yet thou
sands Of sincere Wilson men went
over to Wright on election day, be-
cause he was the regular nominee, and
by reason of the preponderating
influences Of the Presidential
canvass. AT that supreme moment
We would have voted for Johu V.
Wright to defeat Hawkins, if the
naked question could have been pre-
sented. In the. present exigency, a
very serious one, the boiling Democ-
racy have none Of these excuses.
They have not made any concession.
They stood by the Republican COG
measure without yielding single mill,
while the great body of the former
low tax wing has, for the sake Of
harmony and unity, and expecting
to be met something like hall
way, gave up fully $l5,OO0,0OO
This is the utmost tension
it has been reached only by a sublim,
effort and sacrifice. The low tax anc
conservative elements could do n,
more aud go no further. If not me
and aided by those who profess tn
most interest in State credit, theywil
fall back discouraged, Disguised an,
exasperated, and real reputation vii
take a shape and strength that vii
not be overcome in twenty years
This is one Of the last efforts Of tn
truest defenders of State credit, an
if it fail there will be more emigratio
than immigration for the rest Of thi
century-as far as Tennessee is col
cerned.

this section should manifest lively int.
est II !. time that some plan of action
WIS devised and proper steps taken to
secure The plssas" OF the pros pcctivc road
from Hope to Monroe through central
portion of this parish. To the importance
of this We ATE gratifcd to note that at
least large number OF our people are
awake. The speedy completion of the
Nicksburg, Monroe and shreveport road i,
now an assured certainty. This road will
run sumo miles south of this parish aud

advance the interest of our people. Gu the
contrary the filling up of the gap between
Monroe and Shreveport Will initiate
against the interest of portion of our
parish. II will to Il considerable cNtcut
carry trade from this parish and build up
the section south Of us at our expense.
This threatened injury can be- avoided and
converted into benefit by securing the
passage %, a road running North aud South
through this section. just such a road il
what We are now seeking to secure. The
Arkansas and Louisiana Railroad Compa-
Ii, propose to hnild road from Hope.
Arkansas, 10 Monroe, La. Tho route of the
road has not yet been located. and liberal
donations and subscriptions from the PEG.
pie of this parish will, in all probability,
secure for them the passage of the road
through this parish. For this purpose this
meeting of the citizens of our parish has
been called, and every one who has his
rawa, and the interest of this section at
heart, should respond to the call We
must work. II this road should pass by us

Salvtatory.

In assuming entire control Of the edito-
rial columns Of the Guardian custom and
usage demand that I should give the pub-
lie an abstract Of my political opinions
and some indication as to the policy Of the
paper while 1t remains under my charge.
Gu these questions have no uncertain
convictions. Politics with me 10 0 matter
Of principle aud not Of expedirncy. In
the principles Of the Democracy have IN
nnwayering faith. To the doctrines Of a
live, liberal aud progressive Democracy
exemplihcd IN the administration of our
government, do | look for the develop
ment of the theory npon which our Repub-
lie is founded. While there are those who
profess 10 believe that the Democracy 10
on the verge ofdlsintegration, yet desern
nothing in the signs Of the times, or in
recent political developments, which In
the least shakes my confidence IN the mis-
sion aud future success Of the party. The
Guardian then, while / remain its editor,
will be Democratic in all it's utterauccs.
Tnt there are other themes than politics
which claim the attention of the journal.
is,. The material development of Louisia.
ma ia n matter which shall receive my
earnest thought, aud no enterprise which
has tendency in that direction shall fail
to have the warm support aud advocacy of
the Guardian. The interest Of this section
will he my interest as the editor of Its
journal, aud ii ! can make the Guardian
contribute any thing to tho material,
social or moral advancement ofthis section
| shall feel that it is not only duty but n
pleasure to labor 10 thar end. To what ex-
tent shall succeed In this purpose the
public must DO the judge. | assume the
undertaking with but limited experience
in this field of labor. For nearly year
past have been connected with ;his paper
aud have written most that has appeared
in its columns during that time. This
will furnish the public some criterion by
which to estimate the character aud abili-
~ of the paper while il remains under my
supervision. lean only promise to endcavor
to improve upon my past experience.
