Miscegenation.

Our friends in the upper part of
this parish have held second meet
ing at Cottage Grove to formulate
public opinion into solemn protest
against miscegenation. They deserve
the commendation and encourage
ment Of all good people. Men who
are SO lost to race pride and good
morals should be taught proper
sense Of decency, even with mailed
hand, if necessary
The negro problem In Che South is
one of the gravest ever presented to
the Anglo-Saxon people. It will re-
quire ell Of the historic tenacity and
staying qualities of om race TO work
it out successfully. Race purity
must be preserved at all hazards; in
it iesour only safety The diverse
side Of this picture is horrible to
contemplate a.. t..''.'..
The line must be sharply and dis
tinctly drawn, and those who cross it
must pay the penalty. Any leniency,
IN the beginning, extended even to
worthless men, will in the end, lead
to disaster. A crawfish hole through
q levee may start an irresistible food.
The barriers must never be broken
down. Facilis est descensus Avern;;.

Party Integrity.

s.
Both the political parties stand
pledged by their National platforms
to the reclamation of the forfeited
land grants. The language of the
two platforms on this subject is not
widely difficult. They are both plain,
positive and proper.
The record of the session of Con-
gress recently concluded serves to
show the sincerity of parties. That
is it demonstrates the readiness of
the one to fulfill platform pledges as
compared with the other. The com
parison cannot fail to commend the
Democratic party.
Both houses of Congress passed
forfeiture bills aggregating 1000, 900
acres. The House passedin addition
bills FORGETTING S3s,43O,541. These
bulls were not concurred in by the
Senate. This record furnishes food
for thought to the people

Russia's righteousness is ulbond-
ed. The desire for conquest seems
to wholly absorb every principle of
justice and honor. It is attempting
to steal the East Indies from the
British. It has cast a longing eye
upon China's rich possessions and
placed troops on the border with a
view to gradual occupation. It has
always desired TO own the Ottaman
empire. This last desire is an over
towering one, and has led it to max
ing the first move towards securing
a foothold on the Turkish borders,
with view to ultimate conquest of
the dominions of the Sultan, by in
stigating the revolution in Bulgaria
and bribing the Prime Minister to
betray and overthrow the legitimate
ruler. Then, with great GOODNESS
and mendacity, after having caused
all the trouble, the Russian govern
ment comes forward as a peace maker
and demands the right to adjust the
affairs of the country.
The very fact that Northern CAPT
tai is finding it's way South shows
that we have great future before
us. The North has a large money
surplus. Heretofore it has sought
investment in the great West. Now,
it is coming South. It has only be-
gun to come. Where hundreds of
dollars have been invested in the past,
thousands and millions will be invest
ed in the future. s9 biIe u =i"es ;
Prof. Virgins, Of Canada, hastens
to show that he predicted earthquakes
in America, but he fails to show up
the number of his unreahzed predic-.
lions. The dreams that come true
are noted; those that fail are forgot

should occur many people would ac-
tually believe that Virgins knew all
about it.
The Mississippi river has not been
lower for years than it has been this

mel, and there it was but a trife over

Of great promise for the develop
ment of the Southern States is the
prospect which has opened up.before
the people of this great and favored
section. An era of great prosperity
now looms up before the South. Not
content with agriculture alone, she
branches off into manufacturing in
dustries with marvellous energy, ex-
pending no less than 500, 618, 200
during the last six months in the es-
adjustment of manufacturing enter
prises, this being $27,000,000 more
than the amount invested during the

q member of the Board Of Edncation
at Dayton, bat resigned the same
year to take seat in the Sixty-fourth
General Assembly, Of Ohio. He was
reelected TO TIE Sixty Sixty fGtft f Session.
n 1882 he was defeated for City So
licitor Of Dayton. He has been q
delegate to all the State conventions
Of the Democratic party since he en-
tered the political arena and was for
several years member Of the State
Central Committee. He attended
the Chicago convention which nomi-
mated Cleveland, as delagate from
the Third Congressional District of
Ohio. He is Democrat by birth
and inclination. His father Clement
J.. Vallandingham was one Of Ohio's
intellectual lights. His ancestors are
of Scotch-Irish blood
The Senate is Democratic, while the
Lieutenant Governor is Republican.
Last week there has been quite q SEN
sation caused by the Lieutenant-Gov-
errors instructing the Clerk to de-
clair the seats of the four Democratic
Senators from Hamilton county va
cant, and to recognize the Republican
contentants as the duly elected mem
hers. All the Democrats objected to
this and Immediately retired in body
from the Senate chamber. The Re
publican minority then attempted to
organize, but as they did not possess a
quorum, had to adjourn All the
Senate officers are Democrats and
these left with their political friends.
The Democrats also had meeting and
perfected an organization, and there
are now two different Senates- holding
meetings in Columbus. There is much
excitement in Ohio over this state of
affairs, and the action of the Lieuten-
ant Governor is meeting with univer-
sal condemnation. The Democratic
members threaten to exclude him from
presiding over the Senate unless he
complies with the duties of his office
and allows the contested election cases
to be decided in accordance with law.

ocrats these men are?
Again we have young men, who on
the last day of election walked square
ly up to the polls and cast their initial
vote far Democracy and the removal
of the Republicans, who were then in
power. What do they say? eff this
be the plan of the party to retain Re

istration, we think it useless and a
waste of time for us to go to the polls. 2
Again we hear men everywhere cry
ing out against the present manage

is taken we fear that some of our
above mentioned office-holders will
lose their places of trust if they do not
at once remove Republican clerks.
Let there be the speediest removal
of these men, 1t the Democratic party
cannot from its own brains, heart, pro-
gressive intelligence and patriotism,
evolve and materialize all the necess-
airy agencies to secure a just and

have no desire to be Democrat, or
to work with Democratic party. Ev-
cry Democrat VINO demands less than
we do is not complete Democrat.

IF we publish original matter they
