Tie a11:teucnt al3 ssao1o q The
great contest has passed away, aod
every mar rubbing up bib hind%ight
can easily sec how everything hap
poned. Cleveland, pure, honest and
fearless Patriot thas he i, must
kecnIy feel tic cowardly trcachery
which SO bascIy delivered New York
into the hands Of the Philistines.
These miserable, groveliing wretches
who, for pelf and self, have traded
the success Of the Tammany ticket
for a national defeat of the Tasty
they disgrace by assuming the name,
have richly earned The vel! merited
scorn and contempt Of every decent
man throughout tho length and
breadth Of The land. Their dirty
work will 60 down il history as
being without a parallel in the an
mails Of ~treacbery, and judged by
their =, record, Judas lscarIot and
Benedict Arnold will appear patriots
and gentlemen. # VIC judge Alright
the Republican party will see to it
that New York is shorn Of her
power by the admission Of four Or
I've Western territories, whose votes
ID the electoral college and congress
will be sufficient to Offset, in @ large
measure, the Empire states political
importance. President Harrison, we
hope, vii! prove a patriot and give
Us O wise and moderate almiuistra-
ton. Through the apathy Of the
New Orleans politicians, who, we
suppose, could get no boodio, Elliot
was defeated by Dudley Coleman,
and the Republicans have secured a
congressman from the only white
district in the State.

More Turning Needed

Beyond a question the true policy
Of Louisiana is to raise an abundant
supply Of corn, peas, beans, potatoes,
both sweet and Irish, rye. rice, pea
nuts, hay, and vegetables OF all kinds,
fruits, large and small, and sorghum
cane shonld be raised for home con
sumption. With q bonntilul supply
Of all these, pork, bacon and lard,
beef, mutton, milk and butter, poal-
try and eggs, spring into existence
around the home Of the praGent
husbandman, almost as naturally and
inevitably 90 light follows the rising
sun. With these wants provided
for, the surplus. Of capital, lands and
labor, should be pressed into the
service OF sugar cane and. cotton
growing, with all the energy, indus
try and skill that can he brought 10
bear. Such a policy will insure an
increase Of home comforts; will main
tain r%emauerative prices for cotton
and sugar BY preventing an over
supply; will insaro large cash bal
ances to the cotton and sugar planter
from the sale Of thsir crop, and viii
add much to build up q prosperous
independence for, not only our State,
but the whole South
