THE MENSENGER.
A Happy Day.

The Democratic mass meeting i'm
BreauY Bridge Sunday was one Of the
largest and most enthusiastic of any that
has been held in many long day. This
itself is happy augury. The great inter-
est manifested Was largely due TO the
fact that in the existing state Of political
sentiment there was more than reasOna-
BILE ground for the belief that the unex-
pressed choice of the cOnventiOn-unex-
pressed because the meeting was called
for single object, which was to pass
upon the appointments previously made
by the Parish Democratic Executive Com
mit.ee. only-wOuld be ratified by the
people at the polls in November.
Among the speakers. we note particu-
larry Mr.. Armand Martin. because, firstly
he is young man, and secondly, because
this is his first appearance before the
public. He displayed forensic abilities Of
no mean order, and We predict for him a
bright future. His address was replete
with sound ideas and was attentively
listened to.
Such gathering cannot but tend to
strengthen the party, for If We expect to
down the enemy and keep him down we
must have strong organization. As
Mr.. Estilette, of st. Landry aptly puts it:
"It is needless to call your attention to
the universally admitted doctrine that
strict discipline and adherence to rules,
usages and precedents is indispensable to
the existance Of any political party. Any
departure therefrOm must eventually
bring about its destruction. 1t has
more to fear from that than from its enc
miles,"

Storm at Galveston.

Galveston has experienced last Friday
the most severe storm since 1875. the
wind blowing at velocity of sixty miles
an hour. The city was completely covered
with from one to fifteen feet of water,
and skiffs had to take the place Of street
cars. About one hundred and fifty houses
were wrecked, causing damage estima-
ted of about two hundred thousand dol
lars. The destruction on the beach was
great. A schooner from Lake Charles to
Galv,s IN, capsized outside Of the jet les,
and three men drowned.

Member of Congress. The political
history OF Mr.. Doolittle is quite well
known in this state. He has belonged
to all the political parties. except those
of recent formation. Previously to
his becoming citizen of Wisconsin he
had been Democrat, but came over
to the Republican party in. this state,
and was twice elected United States
Senator. Before the expiration of his
last term in the Senate he fell into the
embrace OF President Andrew JUhn-
son, and became estranged from the
Republican party. His desertion of
his party to follow after the vagaries
of President Johnson rendered him
unpopular with his former friends.
When the followers of johnson be.
came dispersed, Mr.. Doolittle drifted
into the Democratic party, and has
been long in waiting for something to
turn up. 1t has been said he was anx-
ious for a foreign mission, and when
the Cleveland administration came in
to power it was thought his long,
wished-for opportunity had come; but
there was hitch. Mr.. Doolittle has
tie past dozen or fifteen years kept
his business Office in Chicago, retain
ing his homestead in Racine.

FIRST COUNTY FAIR

We were misled by one of our ex
change papers in the statement last
week that the first county agricultural
fair in Wisconsin was held in Kenoshs
county. A note from Milwaukee re-
minds us of the error, and we have
the following correct statement:
"The first agricultural society in
Wisconsin was organized in MilWau
kee, Jan. IS, 1887. Byron Kilborn was
the first President, Solomon Juneau
Sylvester Pettibone and Hugh Wedge
were the Vice-Presidents. VIM. A
Prentiss, now a resident of the city
was the first Secretary. At the first
fair held by the society. near the close
of the year 1887, premiums were
awarded as follows: Best bull Import
ed into the country, George Reed, $50
best cow, George Reed, SIS; best boar
DIR. VIM. p. Proudfit, $40; best sow
A. A. Bedford, S.; best corn, Isaac
Bigelow, S.; for imported sow, George
F. Knapp, So. This was the extent OF
the list.

commonly received rule of actions is
money is the principal thing; therefore
get money, and with all thy getting,
get riches. It has been said Of this
country in Europe that the religion of
the American people is the worship of
the " almighty dollar" This, of course,
is an exaggeration; but it is probably
truer of this country than most others.
The great number of business failures
in past years, some of them amount
ing to millions, are nearly all traceable
to speculation and over-trading, the
moving incentive of which is the love
for money making. The desire to ac-
cumulate rapid gains rervades almost
all classes of business men, and fire.
quently leads to the running of risks in
trade resulting in loss. It is The study
of the large proportion of the rich how
to get richer, and those in more moder-
ate circumstances how to make great
er gains. Money is the principal
thing; therefore. get money" The
rich have decided advantages; they
band together and combine to monop-
olize whatever productive industries
they think fit, thus enabling them to
make larger profits in proportion to
the capital invested than those of
smaller means. The fact has loLg
been demonstrated that business firms
of limited capital cannot compete with
large combined capital A wealthy
company is combined to erect a large
manufacturing establishment; when
ready for operation, applications from
working. men are received; the SER
vices of those who are accepted become
the property of the company, and de-
pendants; their wages may be in
creased or diminished as the money in
terest of the company may deem
proper. The employed cannot leave
and go to other establishments in the
hope of doing better, for wages are
generally uniform. The company
which furnishes the working men en-
ployment was organized especially to
make money. Serving the convenience
of the people at large is laudable, but
after all. is only secondary considera-
ton with the employers. The people
who work for wages in our large man
ufacturing establishments are obliged
to accept such terms as their employ
ers may dictate. In majority of
eases it is useless for working men to
Istand out and refuse work; they can
not endure strike for any consider
able length of time, but are ultimately
obliged to accept such terms us are Of
fered to them.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

The Knights of Labor are now hold
ing national convention in Rich.
mond, Va. It is large assemblage OF
Knights. There are some serious
causes for disturbances in the conyen'
ton from what is called the color line
The colored Knights have been refused
recognition in the hotels and places oil
amusement in the negotiating city OF
Richmond. Considerable ill-feeling has
been manifest ON both sides in the
ranks of the white members of the
order.
A remarkable movement has been
suggested which is no less than the es.
Enlistment of a knights of Labor
Congress in Washington. to be held
during the session of Congress, to be
represented by one delegate from each
of the thirty-eight states. This Con.
gress to keep note of the movements OF
the national Congress, and endeavol
as far as practicable to counteract
measures detrimental to labor. The
members of the Knights Congress te
be paid IS per day. Funds necessary
for that to be raised by tax on members
of the order; rs cents on each. it is es
timated, will cover the expense.

The authorities at Washington who
had called the attention of the Chinese
Government to the late Outrages COM
mitted on the Presbyterian and Meth
odist missionaries in China, have re-
ceived answer from the American
minister in China, that the outrages
were in a great measure due to the
great wrongs committed on the Chi.
nese in Washington Territory, and no
redress was. obtained for the loss Of
property, and no punishment melted
out to the perpetrators of the crime.
What else could this Government ex-
pect from China, when large number
of the subjects of that empire, who
were peaceably engaged in the business
of mining, were driven from their
homes, their houses and property de-
stroyed, and compensation refused by
Congress. China is not classed a chris
tian nation; the United States are pro-
fessedly christian. Our government
cannot expect China to remedy wrongs
which this government refuses to do.
Are the heather Chinese" asked to
redress wrongs to American citizens,
while this christian nation refuses to
redress wrongs done to Cinnamon?
