NEW ORLEANS AND THE GREAT EX,
POsIlION.

After all there appears probability that
the grand Worlds Cotton Exposition of 1884
will be held in New Orleans. We rejoice at
this, for we know, as everybody in the South
knows, that it is at New Orleans that grand
manifestation of what The South can do
should take place. The Tines Democrat, of
that city, with dash and glow of public
spirit that does it the highest credit, cub.
scribes $1,000. S. Hernsheim & Bro. follow
with smother $1,000. With such examples,
the sleepiest must srouse, the most apathetic
awake, the most stupid start into movement.
New Orleans has her full share of that
spatbetic indifference that is the curse of 80
many Southern cities-a stagnant half-lazi-
nets, that thinks it is not worth while, half
selfdeprecistion, that says, 81 don't think
o .uld il tried" This time, New Orleans, do
try, and make cure ss TO whether you can or
not. Think of tn. fair name of your beau
tiful city. Think OF the unmanly want OF
spirit in failing 10 do what every State in
the Union thinks you ought to do, and every
State in the Union knows that if you wiH,
you can do. Jump up and set to work; let
all hslp, all take part in the work, as they
have done at Louisville. Wide awake, up
standing, active, determined, what cannot
New Orleans with her host OF citizens do?
You say uutowar events have made you
poor-very we'll; what some cannot do, all
must do by ''lhe long pull, the strong pull
and the pull all together" All together-if
but few citizens can give much, let all give
what they can, and with the population of
New Orleans the great feat will be achieved.
Theu, by sea and land, aud along all the
teeming highways that flow into the Misss-
sippi, on will rell the swelling multitude TO
gaze upon the sunny beauty of the far famed
Crescent City. What is the prospect that all
this will be accomplished? Good, we augur,
since we fud the New Orleans Times calling
for the building OF a grand hotel, such as
New Orleans most certainly requires, bul
which now, the Times Democrat insists, is an
absolute necessity for the coming cotton GEN.
teunial. That there may be simple accom-
mediation for the unnumbered hest that will
throng the streets and squares and levee Of
New Orleans in the fall of 1884, that
paper suggests front on Canal street,
and all the comforts and conveniences
that modern art and invention so
amply supply. Surely capitalists everywhere
must be ready when an opportunity comes
to invest in hotel in city where no ade-
quate hotel exists, and where the very srst
fall that follows its building, the grsndest
exposition the South ever saw will bring the
multitude that will pay for the whole struc-
ture before the chimes of Christmas are
heard. The grand Cotton Centennial Expo
sition Of 1884 must take plscs at New Orle-
ans and nowhere else, and it lie time New
Orleans began about providing the grand
hotel and the rest of the ct eeteras.

i ne tOWnS anu Giles IN Hulcn the Der
Of licenses varies from one to nine swell the
total number OF LICENSED in the 172 towns
and cities included in the examination 10
1852 No accurate estimate can be msde as
to the number of persons who cell without
government license, but good judges put
their number at about 1000 in the whole
State. For twenty-five yesrs Maine has
maintained the prob bitory policy, and her
people will soon vote to place it in the con-
stitution. But, in the face of the above
figures, it must appear that it is folly to
claim that it is successful. Ii 10 absurd, with
the above showing, to say that prohibition
has been any thing else than a complete fall
ure. Here is Portland, for instance, q city
of $4,000 people and 2l2 places where
liquor is sold, or one establishment to cup
ply each 100 persons with medicinal and
mechanical whisky! Bangor, with 10000
people, has 154 licensed liquor sellers, or
one place for each sixty four persons who
buy liquor only for mechanical and medi.
cinal purposes. The question may well be
| asked whether twice as much more liquor is
not sold in Maine than in any non-prohibi-
tory State of the same size. 1t is now DEM
| onstrated that tine effort 10 prohibit the
manufacture, safe or use of liquors only in
creases the evil. Prohibition, without d.
miuIshing drinking, increases its degrading
effects by forcing its secret niulgence, and
! debauches the moral and law abiding spirit
of the community by making men hypo-
critics and lawbreakers. All such laws are
violative OF individual liberty, and assume
the right OF the Stale TO dictate what
its citizens shall eat and drink. Demo-
cratic as is our government, there
are certain things that even the msjoriiy
has no right to decree; and one of these is
that the individual citizen shall not be re-
strained from engaging in legitimate business
or the Use of an article that has been an
| item OF consumption from tue earliest period
of the worlds history. How best TO regulate
the evil which cannot be prohibited is now
the problem which the leading cities of the
country are trying 10 solve. There is a
disposition 10 place a tax On license go high
that the IRE sponsible dens will be broken
up and the saloen business confined 10 re-
sponsible persons who keep orderly and
decent houses. High license will sweep out
of existence the low doggeries, the abode OF
of thieves and lawnesspts1. Those who pay
the high license fee, which it is proposed TO
levy, would constitute natural pelireof the
most effective sort, because they could not
afford lie have their business trenched upon
by violators Of the law.

upsets his theory and confounds bis argu-
ments, for that opponent is He who doeth
all things well. That opponent has endowed
woman with a mind that can think, facul-
ty that can reason, diligence that can ex-
plore, an appreciation that can estimate The
value of truth, and an industry that can
search for truth in her innermost recesses,
trace her in her most involved intricscies,
and plunge TO seize her into the profoundest
depths. He who gave the bird wings in

the foot OF the horse intended 1t to run, and
He who gave TO women the vigor Of Queen
Elizabeth, the comprehensive grasp oil Mrs.
Somerville, and the subtle powers Of obser-
walton and expression developed by George
E ioi, intended those powers and qualities
TO be applied for the ends 10 which they are
adapted. In the words OF the New York
Post, thosc VINO scsn he import of the Gre
stor's work will be "Unable to escape the
conclusion, in spite of DR.. Dix's testimony,
that there was purpose in making the fe-
male mind capable, like the male mind, Of
learning advanced mathematics, and history,
and geography, and thst that purpose was
that the FINALE mind should acquire these
branches of knowledge" The Post thinks
DR.. Dix will scarcely be able to persuade
even the people of his own congregation that
women we're given similar mental powers
with M an, "mereiy to furnish snare for her
feet, and to tempt her into all the dreadful
ways which DIR. Dix has been describing in
his recent very mournful pictures Of human
society in this day" DR.. Dix, and the rest
of the lovers of medieval darkness and
abettors Of the conventual war against the
cultivation OF the faculties and susceptible
ties with which GOD has endowed his crea-
lures, would do we'll to reflect that they are
attempting to say TO the sea Of Gods provi-
dence, "thus far shalt thou go and no far
ther;" and to remember the words of the di-
vine book, whose teachings have everywhere
tended TO elevate woman, "If it be Of God,
ye cannot overthrow it, lest haPly ye be
