Dialogue Between q Market Bas
ket and a Roast,

Basket.-You look quite toothsome and
doubtless will be highly relished by my
master, Mr.. Roast; but l am much de-
ceived If he will not think you were
bought in the market Of Lilliput when he
surveys your meagre dimensions.
Roast.-You have heard the old prov
erb, friend Basket, suppose, that "cor-
porations have no souls" and you should
not expect the hearts of men like my late
master to be better furnished with that
sublimated and intangible article.
B.-My master Is very amiable man,
who dearly loves square dealing. His
heart Is as big as the one your father
boasted of, and he would be vegetarian
rs was yours, were it not that cruel men
will murder poor beeves, hogs, sheep, fish
and fowls, and to give them more de-
cent mausoleum than if left to be de-
voured by wolves and buzzards, he slows
them away in his nav.
R.-As between the amiable wolf and
your master, and the equally amiable buz-
zard or crow, now that have been slaugh-
tered, I can have but little choice, the
maws of either being equally as accept
able as tomb.
B.-My dear master does SO pity the
poor butchers who, he says, are,skinned
xlfvs by this grasping, griping ever to
be satisfied Corporation. The Persian
Empress who had one of her slaves fayed
and his hide stretched before him to gaze
upon until he died, he says was an angel
Of mercy when compared with these mu-
nicipal cormorants, since she only skinned
her slave once, whereas this soulless cor
poration skins its victims every day. He
says he has free roads, free banquettes,
free lights and free police to afford him
protection, and if there was free mar
ket, he would get good deal more meat
and vegetables, and life here would be but
little short of . residence in Mahomet's
seventh heaven.
RI suppose then your master, friend
Basket, is not . taxpayer.
B.-You hit the nail square on the head
in that suggestion, Mr.. Roast. He rates
all taxes, tariffs and ;mposts ss abomina-
tions not to be tolerated by free men. Why,
thou unsophisticated network of willow
twigs, thou and thy master-it would be
D nice point to discriminate the wiser of
the two-are greener than the Dutch

journalistic Enterprise.

Sofething like All estimate may be
forBied Of the progress of the press and
journalistic enterprises Of the day by
contrast of the results of the achievements
Of the y1ar 1885 with those Of 1856 or three
decades ago, or to say somewhat less than
one generation. The New Orleans Times
Democrat, the leading Southern journal,
great not alone in the position it occupies
in shaping public opinion in oil the great
political issues of the day, but in the NO.
BILE effort it never fails to put forth in
furthering the material interests of the
whole State in every branch Of industry,
came ont in its issue Of September LIST, the
beginning Of the new commercial year,
with 70 pages of statistics upon all sub
jects calculated to interest fts patrons,
the value of which, even to the casual
reader, is well worth ten times the sub
scription. 1t matters little wAatSmay be
the complexion Of ones party affiliations,
no candid Judgment but mnst a1mit its
exalted position as tho first of Southern
journals in championing the interests Of
the State of Louisiana in particular and
the South in general.
An Anti German Riot at Madrid
Madrid diapatch Of September 5th,
says: Official dispatches f4ached the gov
ernment from tre Philippine Islands stat
ing that German gunboat had landed
troops on the night Of the Oath Of August,
at zap Island, and hoisted the German
flag there. The Spanish gunboat cleared
her decks for action and the Manila was 4
about to fire upon the German gunboat
when she was .signaled to desist, whlcha
she did most reluctantly. A third Span.
ish gunboat, 'The Telastoro," !" has arrived
at Yap Bay.
This news causes the Widest excitement
Spain. Crowds gathered in
the streets Of Madrid oil night long, fran
tically gesticulating and calling the Em-
peror William, the Crown Prince and Bis
marck the vilest names. Several thou
sand people shouting: "Death to Bis
marck" and "viva Espapa," mobbed the
German Embassy, smsot,ng the windows
and breaking into tht4s1hd pieces the
grand arms on the Emu sy's building.
The furniture and mirrors wSle dashed to
pieces. The people were alrAoststoaming
ut the mouths with frenzy Several Of
the more sober Spaniards, with whom
have talked, feel confident that The affair
must now either end by war or revolution.

"GIVE BACK THE MONEY"
A Demand that Means Something to Those
Who Profited by Ferd Ward.

A Demand that Means Something to Those
Who Profited by Ferd Ward.
New York star
In yesterdays Star we said that many of those
into whose hands the money of Grant & Ward
went were known, and that all would be known.
To-day we say that all are known, and that every
cent of these accused profits can be traced.
Let 1t also be known that they can all be re-
covered by process OF law. The laws of New
York provide a means by which they can be
taken from those who have them 1t is for those
who have them to consider well what their duty
is.
Let us say again that there were no profits of
any kind made by the firm of Grant e Ward.
There were no contracts, there were no enter
prises; the few undertakings of the firm ended
IN loss. The immense sums paid by them to
certain persons, in some instances as high as at
the rate of nine hundred per cent year. were
paid out OF deposits; not cent out of earnings
Of any kind. The depositors were either nno-
cent or guilty. We will not address the guilty.
Ways will be found, if they hesitate, to compel
them to disgorge The vengeance of the law
cannot be Staid.
But the innocent should be glad to have wav
pnnted ont to them for undoiug the wrong in
which they have unwittingly been abettors
They will not be injured oy restitution They
have already received back all the money they
put at risk; 1t is only these wicked gains we ask
to have restored There will be no question
about the amount. The exact amount of go
called profits can he computed to farthing
Let each man keep fair return for the use of
his money and give back the rest. He should
not wish to keep it. He was innocent of wrong
but, finding now how great the wrong is in
which he has aided, he should be filled with joy
at being able TO undo it.
We hope that the Star will not be compelled
to speak again. But it will speak again and
again If restitution is refused.
What an honor to this city if its bankers and
merchants and great corporations who have this
money in their Golfers should give it back! 1t
will find its way to those to whom it belongs,
and the soldier whose heart was broken by the
grief OF wrong, whose fame was clouded by the
shadows that it cast, will, though in his grave,
win again the place in the peoples hearts he used
to have.
You who wish to build a monument on the
riverside. see to it that this money is sent back
A monument must stand not on rock alone it
must stand on public virtue. on a peoples con-
science and a nations morals. There can be
monument on no other foundations than these
Though built of porphyry, and designed by An
cello himself, unless it rests ON truth and honor
it will be symbol of shame and not beacon
of renown.
See to it, gentlemen, you with Chester A. Ar
thur at the head, that the money is sent back.
There can be no monument to General Grant
built here where he was dragged down to shame
and death until the wrong is righted and Justice
done.
