TIE NEXT CONGRESS-.

The Forty-eighth Congress will in
all probability have a Democratic
majority in the House of Represen-

consist of Bourbon Democrats but
Liberals. And those Liberal Demo.
Gratis will not forget that they were
not elected by a purely Democratic
vote but by Democratic and Repub-
llcan voters combined. Being thus
elected, they are bound to be liberal
and conservative in their measures.

Bourbons as to what radical steps

A GREAT SUGAR CROP.

NEW ORLEANS, November, 10.-At q
meeting OF the Louisiana Sugar>P Plantners'
Association last night Mr.. John Dymond
said that bis Information from the sugar dis
trict was to the effect that the WELD was very
good. the crop being estimated at 200,0 900
hogsheads. Dir. j. r. Giffen, the secretary
Aaid that during the past month he had visi-
ted Rapides. Avoyeles, st. Landry, st.
Martin, Lafayette, st. Mary, Iberia, Terre-
bonne. and Assumption. He had never
seen finer crops. The crop would exceed
1000 hogsheads. In Rapides parish the
the plantations were being put in excellent
condition. It was estimated that the crop,
but for the overflow. would have reached
250,O00 hogsbeads. Mr.. Giffen saw in La
fourche sixty acres OF cane so thick that 4
rabbit could not pass through 1t, and fifteen
feet In height. The estimated yield of this
land was set down at three hogsheads per
acre.-Dispatch, 14sh inst
Now reckon those 100000 hogs
at two thousand podnds each and
you will have 4OOOOO,0O0 pounds,
which at an average of cents per lb.
would yield twenty millions of dol
ars. Now, remember that this
fabulous amount of money which is
produced annually in that section is
The result almost if not entirely of

CRITICISMS OF THE COLORED

CRITICISMS OF THE COLORED
PRESS.
Those who criticise so harshly the
colored press should remember that
it costs large sum of money to pro-
duce perfect newspaper. To make
a paper even approach what it ought
to be the editor should not have
any thing else to do but edit it. He
should be relieved from all care about
the management of the paper, as well
as to be assured of such salary as
would render care for the needs of
his family unnecessary. There should
be a news editor with nothing to do
but to collect news; a proof reader
who should read and reread the
proofs and revise them until all er-
rors, typographical and others, dis
appear. How many colored papers
are able to afford these? How many
receive such support as to juftify
the outlay necessary to procure themi

IND USTRIAL ENTERPRISES.
AMONG Us.

L
No people will attain that standard
OF personal Importance which will
command respect it they disregard
the claims of industrial enterprises.
Education, Religion, good morals
refinement, all go to make people;
but these alone cannot do so. Money
or that which will command it is as
indispensable to the make up OF a
people as good manners are to the
make up of the gentleman or lady.
And no people who will not foster
industrial enterprises will ever be
Hesithy. We desire to ENJOY the
respect and good opinion of onr tel
low men. We would be less than
men ii we did not. But it Is fool
ishness to desire that to which we
are not entitled, because it will not
be granted us except as a charity
Seeing that wealth is indispensable to
the end we seek, let us examine as
to whether or not we are on the road
to that much desired means. Are
we really on the road to wealth? Let
us ask few other questions, and the
answers to them will determine the
complexion of the cna-ts1t should y |
given to the first. Is there corn Or
Touring mill.in all this great State
owned and controlled by colorod men?
Is there saw mill a cotton mill
tobacco factory, worth the name J?
mandatory of any kind employing
rom fifty to a hundred hands and
'aying these hands promptly? Is
here a ship or vessel of any kind,
team or sail whose master and own.
RS and colored and who claim Vlr.
,inia as their home? Are there any 1
olored Virginians who own enough
hares in any of our railroads to en- ,
tile them to sit in the meetings OF
he shareholders of such railroads
lave we any banking institutions ? Il
md lastly but not least, have we any
ewspaper or periodical that receives c
ne.tenth the support ana patronage a
'om us as people that it should +? +,
We will not write the answer to
ny one of these questions but will 4
ave the reader to form his own to ct
lem. And, as we before stated, the
1swers to them will indicate the ma G
ire of the proper one to the first G
lestion asked in this article
Are we on the road to wealth 2" T
If we cannot answer these latter
lestions in the affirmative, we cannot
} answer the first. And if we CAM =.
Ut answer the first in the affirmative,
think it is high time we were "a
oklDg around and putting our- th
Ives in trim to be able to do 80.
here will be those who will say that or
ere are white Virginians who own st
of these things; that we are part to

lrginia and the American ration, ..

Can Mr.. Chambliss convince even

England's example and saws she has

But he seems to forget that noble old

brate a harvest produced by all
classes. And then this enlightened
