Service.

New ORLEANS, Sat-, April 81, 1888.
The apather conditions during the
past week, excepting the lack of rain
iall, have been very favorable to the
growing crops, and to plowing and
planting in the .IEorthern and central
sections ofzdle State.
The mean temperature for the week
has been slightly above the normal of
the corresponding week of the past
twenty years in the interior of the
State, and about the normal elsewhere.
There has been no appreciable rap-
fall in any of the sections from which
reports for the week were received.
Showers are needed to bring up the
cotton and corn in the northern part
of the State, and would be of great be-
nefit to the growing crops of the south
ern and central sections.
Another week of sunshine has had a
favorable effect on all classes of farm
work. The percentage during the past
week has ranged from to IS per cent,
above the normal.

Music for the Journalists.

AS will be seen below, Prof. r. Mayer
has arranged a choice and classic pro-
gramme of music to be rendered during
the proceedings of the Press Conven-
ton, on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday next, the lst, Cd and Sd Of
May. This interluding of harmony
with the intellectual and more prosaic
routine of business will add to the en-
thusiasm of the speakers, and prevent
any lassitude that might arise from the
prolonged exercises of the occasion
Prof. Mayer will be assisted by some of
our best amateurs on the piano, violin
and organ; chorus by the ladies of OPP
elousas, and orchestra composed of the
Cornet and String Band of Washing
ton. We feel safe in predicting that
the music will be excellent, and that
it will form most pleasant feature to
members of the press and to spectators
of the Convention.

Last Tuesday will prove memora-
BILE day 10 the history of Louisiana.
After twelve years of inactivity and
apparent political death, the old hydra
headed Republican party of the State
commenced stirring about and showing
feeble signs of new life. The old arch
enemy of good government, the noto-
riens III. C. Warmotli, around whose
nasne clusters all the horrors of recon-
strtction days, came to the front as the
leader Of the old Republican cohorts
and sounded the tocsin and for awhile
the friends of good government stood
aghast. y
Divisions had sprnng up in the Dem
ocratic ranks and no one could tell to
what extent they would affect our
cause. An ominous cloud hung over the
political horizon and the future was
dark indeed. But, 10 I! ray of light
cleaned in the east and failing hope
revived. The noble, the patriotic, the
chivalrous Sam d. EcEnery, the old
war.horse of Democracy, seized the
hand of our manned hero, the gallant
Francis IT. Nichols. and with tlieII

isiana. Ii has taken our beloved State
out Of the doubtful column and added
new strength to the solid South. Il
has blighted the hopes of the national
Republican party and chilled the fer
yor Of the Republican paTtizans who
were casting longing eyes upon fal'
Louisiana.
Our victory was general throughout
the State. But after the State triumph,
the local victory which has elected the
most applause, is that of the Y.M. u. A
| in New Orleans. The Y. M D. A. have
redeemed the name and fame Of the
Crescent City, by smashing TO pieces
the nefarious Ring which hung for So
many years like a dead pail over tlle
destinies of the city. We congratulate
the Y. M. II. Al. upon their patriotic
achievement and hope that the trust
which has been reposed in them VIII
be kept inviolate.
