REOw 10 Invite Immigrants.

The following extract from an ar.
ticle in the N. o. Chronicle, suggests
the proper method to be adopted in
the direction of securing the best and
most desirable class of immigrants,
not only for Natchitoches but for ev-
cry parish in Louisiana. We com
mend the same to the careful perusaI
of our public spirited and enterpris-
ing business men, and to all interest
ed in the important subject to which
it relates. A similar move would not
be bad one for the people of Lake
Charles and Calcasieu parish to en-
gage in:
We have been furnished a COPY of
pamphlet, which is an outcome of
the great and successful popular
movement for immigration in this
State. The title reads Southern
homes; pamphlet descriptive of the
soil, climate and productions of the
Cane river country in Natchitoches
parish supported by the candid opin-
ion of those who have visited that
section of Louisiana. Investment for
capitalists, grand opening for stock
ralsers, and cheap and fertile lands
for the people of the North and
Northwestern States"
AS an Introduction to its contents.
which extends over thirty printed
pages, we are told that prominent and
influential citizens of Natchitoches
parish, approaching Importance of Sc
curing immigration concluded to issue
this pamphlet. No speculative intent
has entered into its preparation.
These citizens invited a number Of
gentlemen seeking homes themselves
from Michigan, Iowa and elsewhere
to visit the Cane River Valley, and
tell them what they thought of it.
Their pleasure and communication Is
expressed by letters appended to this
pamphlet. The settlers from the
North, who hsve moved in during the
past twenty years, also certify their
approval of the statement of attrac.
tons and the purpose of the citizens
All they ask is that people shall come
and take look at The country to sat
isfy themselves IN reference to MI
great and abundant resources.

Tl.e Rerul,llunn Nominees.


The Republican National Conven
ton at Chicago, after nearly a weel
Of wrangling, nominated as candidates
for President and Y1ce-President
benjamin r. Harrison Of Indiana,
and Levi P. Morton Of New York
The former was nominated on tho
eighth ballot, and the latter received
the nomination on the first ballot fol
the second place on the ticket.
The California delegation held oui
for Blaine until hope was dead, ant
then went solidly to the support Of
Harrison, which gave him the nomi
nation. Morton encountered no seri
Gus opposition.
Many leading members of the Dem,
oeratie party agree that the Republic,
ans have nominated two of their best
men, and that it will take "a long pull
and a strong pull" to defeat the tick,
ct. Of course it cannot stem the tide
of the Cleveland and Thurman team,
but will come as near it as any the
Republicans could have placed in the
field. However, it does not Brighten
us, and New York state and the solid
South will get there just the same as
in 1884.
We rejoice in the thought, too,
that the nominee is not "Mulligan'
Blaine, '.Bloody Shirt" Sherman, or
"Mouopolist" Dupew. The difference
between these aspirants and the nom
inees is that the latter have no record
scarcely at all, and the former have
records and mighty bad ones. The
bare possibility of either of these
characters administering the govern
mental affairs of sixty millions of
people is too utterly unpleasant to
contemplate.

n. O. States.
Judge Tburston, the Nebraska mo-
nopolist and temporary chairman of
the Bloody Shirt Convention which
is to nominate Republican candidate
for President, in his lnrld speech on
taking the chair, concluded with this
rhetorical fzzIe:
"When Robert Bruce, King of
Scotland, lay upon his dying bed, he
requested that his heart should be Ia
ken from hls inanimate body and
borne by knightly hands to the Saw
iour's sepulehre. After his death,
James, Earl of Douglas, undertook
the sacred mission, and, with the
heart encased in a casket, set ont up
on his pilgrimage TO the Holy Land.
On their way thither himself and com
rades were set upon by a great host
of Moorish warriors. Though they
fought with all the valor of mortal
men, they were borne backward by
sheer force of numbers, and their
overthrow seemed certain, when Dong
las, drawing from has bosom the price
less easket, cast it far out into the
midst Of the oBcOming host. and cried
out: Lead on, heart of Bruce; we fol-
low thee = and the knights of Scot
land, never defeated while following
Bruce, pushed forward and won the
day. Let this convention find a Doug
las for our Bruce. He will take the
soul of our great leader into the gold
en- caskct of his love, and with il lead
us on 10 certain and splendid victory"
This OEatoricaf flourish the tempo
rary chairman stole from a speech of
the late w. L. Yaney, the great seces-
sion leader in and just prior TO 1850
and ono of the greatest orators this
country has ever produced: When
Yancy was making his famous march
through the Southern States and afr
ing the Southern heart" be used
Froissart's heroic story of Douglas
and the heart of Bruce, we have for
gotten now in what connection, but
we remember with tremendous power
and effect. The great seeessionist's
march was everywhere a splendid
ovation; wherever be spoke be arous-
ed the Southern people TO frenzy of
enthusiasm, and it was in describing
his 'streasonn at that time, that the
Black Republican papers invented the
cry that be WAS "fring the Southern
heaTt." His appropriation of the sto-
~ of the Douglas and Bruce's heart
was the most famous oratorieal flight
Of the time and was admired through
ont the world as a magnificent piece
Of clo9uenee. Since that time We
have heard ii used with more Or less
appropriateness By hundred "S0nlh-
eFn oratofieal iraitorsn and it Is now

The Louisiana Churchman pays
this compliment to Coy. McEnery:
McEuery's conduct since the result
of the primary election made known
the will of the people, his unselfish
devotion TO the cause of Democracy
as against Republicanism, has fairly
won the admiration and esteem Of
those of his own party who had pre-.
vlOusly opposed his aspiration to an.
other term. And though there may
have been some errors in his admins.
tration, all men are falllble and liable
to err in Judgment, and we are sure
that If he has committed any they
were those Of the head and not of the
heart, and that no man, not even aex,
eepting our present honored Govern.
or has more truly at heart the welfare
Of our beloved State.

The following article we excerpt
from the n. o. Times Democrat. aut
unhesitatingly add Ualcasieu, as on,
of the leading, to the list Of orang,
growing parishes of the State. Al
Lake Charles and throughout this en-
tire parish and section of the StatC
the orange tree flourishes and bear
abundant fruit. The first cold wealth
er that injured the orchards in thi
section to any serious extent occur
red during the winter of l884Js5
but it was general, and killed many
orchards all over South Louisiana
besides, it is the only disaster of tht
kind in the recollection of our oldest
inhabitants, and will probably be tht
asst for many years to come. Attention
and proper culture are all that is need
fnl for successful and highly profitable
orange culture in Calcasieu, rivaling
those parishes mentioned in the ox
tract, which reads:
While Florida has been advertising
everywhere its great fruit resources,
particularly its production of oranges,
Louisiana, where the groves are much
older, and where the soil and climate
are equally good for the production
of this citrous fruit, has had scarcely
word to say on the subject, and has
certainly extended no invitation to
people to come here and grow or
anges. The Florida invitation seems to
have "bcrne good fruit" in more ways
than one. There Is something spec
tally attractive to the Northern eye
in the Hesperian apple, and the pic
lures of Florida groves, with trees la
den down with luscious oranges, seem
to have been one of the best immi-
grafton cards played by the fowery
State, and to have attracted no small
proportion of the immigrants who
have given it It's recent boom.
Not only outside of Louisiana, but
in the State as well, there has been
gross ignorance of our orange indus
try. Not one person in ten IL this
city has seen a real orange grove, and
the statistics of production and the
value Of the crops have hitherto been
absolutely unknown quantities.
We are glad to note that the Sugar
BOaCl is seeking to collect some in
formation on this subject; and its in
vestigatioDs have already shown very
clearly that the industry is far more
important than has generally been be
lieved. Its editor has collected the
statistics Of the orange groves on the
east bank of the river from Fort ST..
Philip to the ST. Bernard line. 1t
finds oighty-four groves in this stretch,
covering between 900 and 1000 acres,
and containing 1880 bearing trees
and $1,000 young trees. The last
crop sold up to $3.50 per bearing
tree, and in some cases as high as
SIP per acre.
These are the figures Of only
small portion of one parish. The
east bank of Piaquemines, of which
statistics are given, is not nearly as
well suited to the culture of oranges
as the west bank, which the Sugar
Bo'ol proposes to cover next week
1t has given us enough information,
however, to prove that Louisiana is
well adapted to orange culture, that
the industry is already larger than
was thought, and that with a little
encouragement it will not only add
wealth to the State, but be Of value
to US in bidding for immigrants and
pointing out the special resources and
Of the State.
