On last Saturday evening at the
midnight hour, Eighteen Hundred and
Eighty Seven was left bahind, but not
lost to The world. Many lhBre are who
will remember the year-aome with
pleasure and some with pain. Those
who can call mp the past year with
pleasure, remembering the many deeds
Of lindnsus and acts of oharity they.
have done, are exceeding b blessed and
well prepared to enter rhsarfully the
Now Year, but those who have passed
through It in a life Of Iebauohery will
ever recall it with regrets
The year just past has been an ez-
ceediHgly prosperous one with our sec
tion, our State and, indeed, the whole
South, for which to God give all the
praise. We, in this immediate SEQ
tion, Southwest Louisiana, have wit
messed quite flow of immigration
during the past year, which bids fair
to continue and oven increase during
the present year. Northern capital
has been steadily flowing into this
section and Investments made in real
estate and new industries started.
During the year 1855, we predict that
many new enterprises will spring mp.
in onr midst. Capital which is stead
lily seeking investment here will take
hold and our little city of Lake Charles
viii increase to greater proportions
than any,proVions year of its existence.
The EoHo has put in many years of
faithful work for the upbnilding of our.
city and country. Instead of relaxing
onr energies in that direction we hope
10 do more the present year than ever
before. The EcHo stands readyto do
it's part in battling for right and in
establishing sonnd public opinion and
inspiring all classes with ambition for
the public good, and its columns arc
ever open TO the cause of education
and religion. I

HARMONZzE ON BLOOD.

We had hoped that when the smoke
ofbattle cleared away after the tragic
death of Patrick Mealey in a bar.room
brawl, that everything would quiet
down by the continued efforts of the
ssober-thinking element of the city to
keep down ineendiary harangues.
1T seems that Mr.. Wickliffe, District
Attorney Of Grant parish, and Hon.
John q. Stone, of Clinton, La, on
Tuesday night last, at the Washington
Artillery Hall in New Orleans, capped
the climax in wild harangnes and Zero
eious words. In speaking of Hon.
Pat Mealey, Mr.. Wicliliffe said:
"He fills a bloody grave solely by
reason Of his political opinions. / say
if Pat Mealey had not been.a supporter
of Gen. Nichols, to-day he would
be alive. While you hear talk through
out the city of wrealing physical ven
geanee upon the pitiful instruments Of
his taking off letme hear deep cry
of your vengeance to wreak political
Vengenee upon the instigatoFs.
There was no man who was greater
Or nobler in every degree than Patrick
Mealey. If he could afford to lay down
his life on aceonnt.of his political opin-
ions, ] say let there be no Feereant
towards who refrain on the 5th Of
january, from taking part in the cleo
ton. Why not take your ballot in
one hand ontbe 5thof January, if you
have to take your life IN the other
hand, and put it in the box. A free
man dead is better than a living cow
ard. On the 5th of January 90 to the
polls, no matter what may be the risk,
and even at the peril of your life pre-
sent solid front and drop your ballot
in the box, and let the answer of the
assassinis bullet be the ballot of a free
man."
Atthe conclusion of his speech
Mr.. Stone said:
H0n the 5th Of January go to the
polls and cast your vote, and if neeC
be spill your blood. fore good oqs
be done by The soilliag Of a little 6lOot
than in any other aeay."

Republicans in the South.

The following is from the Times
Democrat, q careful reading of which
will prove to every Democrat that he
should be loyal to his party: "The
Republican papers are devOting their
attention to the South jast now and
its political condition, and nearly all
of them seem to have an idea that
they carry some of the Southern
States, Louisiana being among them.
The Inter Ocean proposes to accom-
plish this by bringing the tariff into
the discussion, to which the Coestitu-
ton, a prot9ctionist paper, replies,
that as long as the Republicans insist
upon waving the bloody shirt, as long
as they propose to attack the South
ern State governments, they could not
expect the people of this section to be
led off solely on financial and econom-
ic grounds. The Tribune takes up ex-
Congressman Lynch's proposition as
a means of securing the Southern vote,
and urged its adoption. Lynch de-
declared in late interview that it was
impossible to carry the South for the
Republican under present methods.
He bad tried this repeatedly, be said,
and now abandoned it as impossible ;
and he suggested the following plan {:
IF Republicans will only make a
square contest in Mississippi, South
Carolina, Alabama and Louisiana, the
Democrats will be obliged to resort.to
such questionable and unlawful means
to carry themthat should Democratic
success in the Presidential election de,
pend on the counting of the electoral
vote of these States, their vote viii
not stand a fair investigation Lei
the Republicans try this. We hayt
lno fear of the result. Those few whs
have come into the South have gon,
away perfectly converted, borne test
monystO the great advance made il
the South in good government, IL
prosperity and in the condition of th,
negroes since the political control fha
passed into the hands of Democrats.

The Northwestern LUmbermGp in
speaking of the Texas transportation
.tFonble, says, 1.-THE lumber manufac-

in an unpleasant predioameut. Alack
of cars has retarded shipments all sea-
son, and the same trouble is expert
enOed at Orange, Texas, where the
mills have for along time been unable
to keep up with orders, owing to a lack
Of cars" This is perhaps in part due
to the switehmeu's strike at Houston.
1t will be remembered that for quite a
time recently the railroad yards at
Houston were crowded with loaded
cars aud there seemed to be a lack of
locomotives for moving them afterthe
strike had ended, and there was no
room for handling empty cars.
