To the Press and Public.

On several occasions the Teche Pii.t
and the American OF Lake Charles, have
shown. in every possible light, the many
agricultural, minera! manufacturing and
other advantages, together with perfect
descriptions Of the climate ETC.. OF Lou
siana; showing forth the great induce
ments TO our home capitalists to go to
work and make the vast lands which are
only waiting for development to give an
nuaI remuneration excelling any interest
money which would accrue from almost
any other source. Other papers have al
80 given some attention to home deve-
iopment (when they could find space not
devoted to political discussiOns) and with
all that has been said on the subject but
little has been done toward the develop
ment of the vast territory lying idle
throughout the State.
Agriculture is the wealth Of our State
other industries require more capital and
are less secure. The Department Stats
tical Report gives the value of agricul-
tural products in Louisiana for 1855 (su-
gar excepted as no reliable total estimate
could be arrived att as 500 $50 and
it will readily be seen that this amount
only represents about One-third or posi-
bly, only one fourth Of the value Of the
sugar prOduct-which is the main pro-
duct OF the State and the most valuable.
And again, when we consider that only
about six-tenths OF the tcnable and ara
BILE lands are in cultivation and that
much of that laying idle is in the richest
aluyial section Of our state, We can rea-
sonably expect an improvement proper
Tomato TO the estimate of production Of
improved lands from those lying idle.
immigration Of capital, industry and
enterprise into our midst is what we are
in need Of and what We want. Let us
then invite immigration Of that class we
mention. In the Northwest Montana,
Minnesota Dakota and other States and
Territories where agricultural pursuits
are cramped by cold, there are men Of
energy, enterprise and capital who would
be only to willing TO spend their capital
and energies where they would receive
greater returns, more benefits and do so
under more pleasant circumstances and
in milder climate. We have all these
advantages. Let us then offer induce
ments to them to come and settle among
us. aud the growth and prosperity Of our
State is assured. This result can be
best attained by the organization Of local
immigration companies through whom
descriptive letters showing forth the va
rious advantages of the locality, agricul-
tural, mineral manufacturing etc, which
they represent be spread broadcast
through the North, East and West. Prin-
ted circulars and pamphlets and ncwspa-
pers in which these opportunities are de-
tailed, are the most common and effectual
mediums and are invaluable to the final
success Of any public enterprise.
Let our brothers Of the Press join us
In the work of developing Of our State
and in time, the entire South, and let us
receive the full support Of our people and
In the near future all will be more pros
porous and contented.-Te che Pilot.

THEY DIE TOGETHER
Saloon Vfcfims.-NIOther and
Son Die Together.

EAST LIVERPOOL, OHIO, July
Mrs. William Elwell, aged about
IS, and her son, about 40, were both
killed at 7 o'clock this evening, by
a Cleveland & Pittsburg passenger
train, east-bound. Mr.. Elwell was
taking her son home. who is said
to have been drinking. They met
the train at Carpenters Run bridge
and stepped oft to the side of the
track. After the engine had passed,
the son insisted on having the
right of way, but his mother stout
ly resisted, and in trying to pull
him out of harms way, both were
struck by the coaches. Elwell dieu
instantly and his mother q few
minutes after. Their heads were
terribly crushed.

A Little Late.

The proper attitude of the Re.

toward the pending Prohibition
Amendment, is topic for discus
sion at the meeting Of the Repub-
lican Editorial Association at Par.

that like the meeting at Chicago,
the West Virginia Republican
Press is a little late in striking
much of an attitude on that topic ;

it takes about one clerks time to

If only we can straighten out all
the men and pursuade them to

18th Plank, Prohibition Plat
form.

Recognizing the fact that the
Republican and Democratic parties
in their National Conventions have
ignored the question of the prohib-
ition of the liquor traffic, and fully
believing that the time has now
arrived when all persons who de-
sire the welfare of our country
should stand united in heart, in
prayer, and in vote against the
awful curse of this traffic in this
Nation,
l hereby subscribe to the in
vitatlon contained in the Thir-
teenth plank of the prohibition
Party Platform, as follows:
Recognizing and declaring that
the prohibition of the liquor traffic
