NEW ORLEANS LETTER.
New ORLEANS, April II, 1888.


Editor LIGHT:
Mrs. Langtry, OF world wide celebrity,
as the Jersey Lily" has played here
several nights this week to good houses.
While her acting has not taken the
hearts of the audience by storm, 1t has
been such as to give general satistao-
ton and to extort warm praises from
the press Of this city. The beauty OF MIS-.
Langtry is so ravishing as to cast spell
Oh an audience and to blind 1t to her
faults as an actress; really, oeauliful
woman blunts the edge OF CRITICISM,
mOllifies the sourest misanthrope, ana
beyitches and facinates, daZzles and
dazes all by the spiender OF her personal
byeliness. Homely women possess no
such .'coigne of advantage" and must
possess overpowering merit of some
sort to atone for their lack OF personal
beauty.
could not help wondering that she
should have selected the drama Of The
peril of q wife" for her appearance, since
it brought to mind the persistent and
marked attentions paid her by Fred Geb-
hardr and her application for divorce
in the San Francisco court. Fred Geb-
hardt followed her all over the Union
and was so demonstrative In his admira-
ton and attachment as to call forth pub
lie contempt and censure.
The French market" Of New Or
leans is sui generis. 1t has no
match in the United States. 1t
is a market house, q fruit store,
a bazaar, coffee stand, rolled
into one, and the crowd is COM
posed of many nations and tongues. 1t
is we'll worth ones while to visit the
French market" and to s8unter through
II, leisurely, with eyes and ears open,
go as to take in everything. You Will
get cup of real coffee there, that Will
give you lifelong disgust for the slop-
py, "villsinous compound" by courtesy
designated as coffee, in small towns and
in the country. The art OF making COL
fee is confined to but small NUMBER.
The CITY is now seetbing cauldron,
as the fractional war grows hotter and
hotter as the day of election approaches
The CITY election is the only thing
talked about. One is bored with the
angry wrangle in the street cars. as ne
walks along the streets, knots OF men,
talking election talk, block up the cor
ners. while the saloons have become de-
batting clubs AS it is s family row and
split. elimination and recrimination are
the chief weapons and both sides are
embitsered, prospective and intolerant,
The election will occur on April l|th,
and then the excitement will collapse
ard remain torpid. till the presidential
election shall stir up the mud, and turn
loose the army of mud-slingers. The
Yahooism of American presidential
campaigns is enough to sicken a skunk.
The republicans here do not expect TO
have an honest count and fair election.
Now and then one hears some wide
mouthed fellow predict that in case
Yarmouth is elected governor he would
be asaassinated before the end OF a
month. which shows to what lengths
democrats will go in order to retain
power. The fillibustering minority in
congress is proof of 1t. Their conduo!

REPUBLICANIsM IN TEXAS.

Z
Now that the republicans OF Bexsr
county show symptoms Of running their
own machine and forswearing the false
gods of fusion, the democracy are get
ting sick. In union there is strength
and the republicans OF this county can
carry the county for their candidates
every time if they only hold together
and make judicious nominations. Let
the republican party learn 10 respect It
self, trust to the inherent strength OF It's
own principles, cease TO daily with the
democracy, grow selt-reliant, under
stand that honorable defeat for time is
preferable to a dishODOrable compro-
mise, let them learn and understand
this, and shun the leadership OF those
who counsel lowering of the party
banner for personal ends, and there will
be little question about the result. Vic
tory may not come immediately, and
again it may. The chances for republl-
can candidates are as good in Bexar
county as are those OF the democracy.
The course pursued in Saturdays con-
vention should have been adopted two
years ago. 1t came within vote or
two then, it came as with rushing
mighty wind on Saturday. For this the
LIGHT congratulates the republicans
of Bexar county. and of the state as
well. The temper of Saturdays con-
vention showed most cOnClusively that
there is very little danger Of any disin-
tegrationist rising in republican coun-
ty convention in San Antonio this year
and moving that 1t Ia ineXpedient to
put ticket In the field. The LIGHT
most sincerely hopes that the day Of
such cowardice ia forever past. The
LIGHT wants straight out party nomina-
tions, and the LIGHT will support such
nominations. 1t has no knife for repub-
lican candidates, and believes that it
would be happy day for Bexar county
when its affairs are turned over to the
hands and heads of republican Of
ficials. Texas republicans are
shaking themselves and looking
around for the causes of their present
lethargy. These causes are being studied
and understood as never before. 1t ia
idle to imagine that Texas can give
10000 majority to any democratic can
didate, when the republican party polls

majority in Texas is very little, If any,

The recent dead lock in the legisla.

the eX-rebels in congress. A small min
ority attempted to prevent the majority
of congress from passing particular
law, and the course of this minority was
factious and revolutionary in the high

south took stock" in this revolutionary
proceeding and the effect on the cOun-
try will be to drive the democracy from

HIDALGO,S HURRAH!

The brief communication OF Hidalgo
in last Saturdays issue of the LIGHT
seems to have caused an immense fiutter
among the covey that compose the Mill
street manipulators Of the council.
That matter of opening Mill street has
been kicked back and forth by the
council like football for the past year
and now it looks as though one mighty
effort was to be made to kick 1t over the
fence and completely out Of bounds.
Last April, was it not, one year ago
about, that Mayor Callaghan was or
dered by the Getty council to condemn
the right of way and open the extension
of Mil street south from the lower mill
bridge in oomsonanoe with the petitions
presented therefor. During year that
order of the council remains unobeyed,
as usual, the people having no rights
which his honor the mayor is bornd to
respect save at his personal conven-
fence. Another petition signed by
numerous tax payers was presented to
the city council quite recently praying
that honorable body take action in
the matter, and the petition was referred
to the finance committe for action.
Alderman Schreiner, of that committee
is also member of the cOun-
cil's committee on streets and
bridges. The finance committee has re-
ferred the matter to the council and the
council has kicked it along to the com
mittee on streets and bridges. All this
while an order Of council exists for the
condemnation of the right OF way neces-
Sary for the purposes of the petitioners.
1t is now said, in the circles of those
who know the end of these things from
the beginning, that the council will re-
fer the matter to Mayor Csllaghan who
has carried the order OF council in his
breeches pocket for year, requiring him
to condemn the very right of way now
to be referred to him for action. Hidal-
go now comes into court and says that
mis- honor is about to leave the city for
his health, in company with the city
physician, and the honor OF giving the
Mill street extension the go by for pre-
sumably another year will deyolve upon
mayor pro TEN Schreiner. This whole
proceeding shows the most unblushing
and urjustifiable trilling with the de-
mands of the people and the orders OF
council and is one more drop in the fast
filling cup of the iniquity OF the present
municipal administration. This matter,
as Hidalgo shows, should be in the
hands of the public improvement COM
mittee and not in the hands of Alder
man Schreiner. The facts are. that by
order of council it is legitimstely out OF
the hands of both, and has been since the
opinion of the city attorney was adOp.
