A SILVER GEM.

The editorial columns of the DEMOCRAT
have always been filled with matter in
tended to meet the abilities OF ordinary
everyday readers, who know a hawk
from hand-saw when they see it; but
as the morning Republican organ has
gone into the business OF paragraphing on
the Silver question, after the dense and
weighty style OF the Concord School OF
Philosophy, we, being earnest advocates
OF silver, free and unlimited, are bound
to be in the swim, hence the following
gem.
The intense power Of imitation, OF the
enormous unwritten tendency OF accum
ulated commodities, is abnormal, when
considered with the increased tendency
to circumambient fossilliferousness OF the
undenishle values OF real and pretended
securities That our National Banks are
boarding the accumulated wealth OF
vacuity identical with a bloated bond
holding oligarchy, accentuates the thing
ness OF the which, and leaves the Nation
prey TO melancholy. Tyndall and
Huxley both agree that, non cominiJu'
comatibus wiM tea-foOt poliJus, il

The Police Jury of Vermilion
parish PASSED a resolution urging
the Louisiana Legislature to pass
a Sunday lew prohibiting the sale Of

in the State-excepting New Or.

Why a discrimination should be
made in favor Of New Orleans does
appear to a cnrsory observer very
inconsistent and perhaps absurd
We infer that it is because of the
hopelessness of getting any Sunday
law through, in the face of opposi.
ton from City Representatives. 1t
