State Press Comment.

Shreveport Democrat: "We ought
to have half dozen candidates for
the Judgeship of the Court of Appeals
in this District shortly to become va
cant. And then we onght to abolish
the Court"
Baton Rouge Capitolian-Advocate Z:
Unfortunately for Gov. Warmoth,
he has a record, and when held be-
fore the light of that record, his
beautiful promises will melt away as
snow under the rays of the sum-"
Rich meat in this nut which the
Shreveport Democrat extends for an
economical Legislature to crack:
"Give US one Judge in Caddo. The
people ought not to pay for two, be-
cause we don't need them. One Dis
trlct Judge in Caddo is enough, and
everybody knows it."
Democratic Review: "When he is
dead, and the passions and prejudices
that his public acts have engendered
have passed away, and when the his
torian from an impartial standpoint,
comes to write of the great men of
Louisiana, Fraucis 7. Nichols will be
given a place among her greatest and
noblest sons"
Ouachita Telegraph: "Warmoth's
letter of acceptance has at last ap.
peared. And he poses as Civil Ser.
vice Reformer. Warmoth was always
good at making fair promises but
history has got his administration
down as the most corrupt that ever
disgraced Louisiana. The people
will have no more of his"
Bienville New Era: "Warmoth,
who sent out pickpockets from New
Orleans to stuff ballot boxes in 1870,
is nice man to talk about fair cleo
tons, and not being cheated out of
his votes at the next election. We
have a pretty good memory, and.
therefore, have not forgotten the
events of his administration"

There have been but two Republi-
can victories in Louisiana, in spite of
the use of the United States troops
and courts to assist that party. In
1868, the Republicans elected War
mouth Governor, because the election
machinery was in the hands of the
Federal officials, and because a large
portion of the whites were disfran-
chised. A few months afterward, the
Democrats carried the State for
Seymour by a large majority. In
1870 the Republicans achieved their
second and last victory in the State.
Every one remembers how it was
done. The ballot boxes were stuffed
throughout Louisiana. There never
was grosser, more brazen and un-
blushing fraud-fraud which aroused
the indidnation of every white man
in the State.
This ended the Republican VIC
tories. The first was won by dis
franchising the whites, the second by
stufing the ballot boxes. Since 1870,
the Democrats have carried every
election in the State. They won in
1872 and 1874 to be counted out
by the Returning Board. In 1876,
the board tried its same cid game,
but was defeated. In 1878, 1880,
1882 1883 and 1886 there was no
question Of Democratic success.
In the light of these results, moth
ing is more absurd than to talk of q
Republican majority, and it is not
worth while discussing editorials
based On the idea of a Republican
majority in this State. That party
never has succeeded in fair election
where the Federal government has
kept its hands off.-N. O. Times

Revenue Reduction.

Treasury is just so much money
needlessly withdrawn from the indus
try and business of the country. At
it's present rate of accumulation it
will amount to two hundred millions
of dollars within a twelvemonth.-
The extraction of this sum from the
financial resources of the country is
calculated to produce stringency and
ultimate panic in the money market.
The accumulation, therefore, should
be promptly stopped bya reduction
of the revenues.
If the partisanship of the Repub-
liean Congressman generally and the
selfshness of few Democratic Con-
gressmen in particular had not stood
in the way, revenue reduction would
have come four years ago when Hon.
w. R. MORRISON, of Illinois, introduce
ed the first bill in the House of Rep
resentatives looking to that end
But consideration was refused the
bill and the coalition majority failed
to present a bill of their own. The
continued and continuous accumula-
ton of the surplus, however, has at
last awakened great interest in the
subject of revenue reduction and
Congress will hardly fail to consider
the bill for that purpose which will
come before it this session.
The only question to be solved is,
How can the reduction of the reve-
nues be best efectede Should it be
accomplished by revision of the tariff,
or by cutting off the internal taxes,
orby a measure embracing both these
plans? The answer should be, By
rerision Of the tariff. And whys
Because the internal revenues have
already been reduced more than one
half since the close of the war, while
the tariff substantially remains as it
was when the war ended; because
the war debt and the pension list
should be met by the internal taxes !;
because they are levied on luxuries
and not on necessaries of life; and
because an average tariff of forty-six
per cent. on raw materials of manu-
facture and the food, clothing and
shelter of the people, is exorbitant,
oppressive and calculated to promote
monopoly.
1t is not, than, merely the desire of
theoretic reformers for revision of
the tariff that has led up to the
movement which has been given over
whelming impetus by the recent mes
sage of the President. The move
ment is practical and memorable
necessity. It is the outgrowth of a
condition, not a theory. There must
be reduction of revenue and since
there must be such reduction the
taxes to be reduced or abolished are
those which bear most heavily upon
the industrial masses and the inter
ests which support them. Surely it
is better for the working people, bet
ter for the employing manufacturer,
better for the consumer, better for
every body, that raw materials and
necessaries of life should be untaxed
than that whisky and tobacco should
be freed from taxes in order that raw
materials and necessaries of life may
still be made to bear the burdens of
taxation.

Manufactures are of advantage to
community directly and indirectly.
They make profit for home capital,
provide employment for home labor
and gather willing tribute from the
outside world for home skill and in
dustry. Moreover, every neighbor-
ing interest is benefited by a pros
porous factory, because money from
q distance is brought in by the enter
prise and goes to aid every class by
increasing the rate of remuneration
that may be offered for work. There
is scarcely possibility of estimating
the benefits to a community of q
well-managed manufacturing estab-
ishment, 80 numerous are the ways
in which those benefits arc felt
There is general agreement, however,
as to the positive nature OF the bene-
ft. It is the part of wisdom for the
South and for Louisiana and the par
ish of Bossier to encourage in every
way the establishment of manufac-
lures. We now pay tribute to other
States and communities for what we
need in every day life. It is high
time for Louisiana to reverse this Or
der of things so far as to secure a
reasonable share of that tribute which
the world at large pays for what it
wants. The only way to do so is to
make things to sell, to coin our idle
industry and skill into money. Lou.
isiana is ripe for the establishment of
such manufactures as are within
reach and are at all likely to prove
profitable. She recognizes their i'm
portance. Let those of us whose in
terests are bound up with her destiny
encourage and assist in the building
up Of factories throughout our State.

Mrs. Waite's SatCheI.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-[Special Telegram
to the BEE. IA much exaggerated story
reached here this morning from Toledo by
way of Chicago, to the effect that Mrs.
Waite, the wife of the late chief justice, was
robbed of her satchel containing diamonds
and other jewels. According to the story
they were mysteriously taken from her side
in a carriage while en- route to the depot.
The diamond part of the story is by the fam
lily pronounced untrue. The only foundation
for the report was that Mrs. Waite, when
leaving Toledo for Washington, was con-
veyed to the depot in "a close carriage
accompanied by her son and daughter. AS a
matter of course there were also a number
of parcels and luggage in the carriage with
them. Just as the team was driving off a
small leather satchel, containing such toilet
articles as IL lady would be likely to require
while travelling, were handed up to the
driver, who placed it beside him on the box.
When the station was reached it was dis
covered that the satchel had slipped from its
resting place and could not be found. 1t was
highly priced by Mrs. Waite because her late
husband brought it to her on his return from
Europe. 1t contained nothing of any special
value, but a reward was offered for its re.
cOvery. Last night u telegram was received
by Mrs. Waite stating that the lost satchel
and contents had been found and would be
forwarded Immediately to Washington.

Promotion of General crook.

The promotion OF. General Crook TO
the major generalship made vacant by
the retirement OF General Terry, was n
recognition OF merit as creditable to
the president as il is honorable to the
gallant soldier who has been decorated
with the double star. The country and
the army will be gratiied hat the
pressure upon the executive from GER
tain quarters to depreciate the soldierly
qualities and meritorious services of
General Crook has proved abortive.
While the prompt and decisive action
of President Cleveland is gratifying to
the friends OF the modest commander
of the department of the Platte,
it is worthy of special COM
m%endation as conserving a high
principle, and thereby rebuking those
who would make promotion in the army
a matter Of personal preference ana po-
litical influence. For this the president
cannot be too highly commended.
1t is not necessary to tell the people
OF Nebraska, Of Wyoming, Dakota,
Utah, Oregon, Montana, or Arizona,
who General Crook is. 1t is not neces-
sary, if we could, to inform the Sioux,
Cheyenne, Ute or Apache Indians who
General Crook is. The people of all
these western states and territories,
and all f~rontiersmen and Indians, know
Crook. He is essentially a soldier,
with the instincts, training and bear
ing of a soldier. AS a man he is quiet,
modest, taciturn. Few officers have seen
more constant and harder service. AS
a commander General Crook has always
shown Difference to superiors and cour'
teous treatment to subordinates. When
his opinions have been called for he has
given them clearly and with his reas-
ons. In his dealings with the Indians
his great success arose from the conf
| dence he inspired as to his truthfulness
fairness, love of Justice, and theil
knowledge of his invincible courage tt
follow up and punish all who violated
his orders, or the orders of the war de
partment.
We are gratiied at his advancement
and can truthfully say promotion was
never more worthily bestowed in the
army. We can but regret, however
that his elevation to q higher grade viii
result in his leaving Omaha. During
all the years of his residence amons
us General Crook has enjoyed the uni
versal respect of our citizens and TIN
hearty esteem of all who have made hi
personal acquaintance.

According to the medicine man of the
board OF education there was altogether
too much mystery about the adoption OF
plans and location of the city hall. Will
the doctor kindly tell us what mystery
he refers to? Were not the city hall
plans submitted TO the council and
board Of educationp Were they not
carefully examined by the committees
appointed by the bodies, and inspected
by the members before they were APP
proved? Were they not examined by
Mr.. j. E. House, chairman Of the board
OF public works, and ex-Mayor Boydp
Was not the proposition to locate the
city hall on the corner Of Eighteenth
and Farnam considered and agreed
upon between the city council and
county commissioners when the city
waived its rights and claim to the old
Douglas county court house grounds?
Was there anything mysterious or
crooked in the agreement by which the
city was given occupancy of nearly
the entire court house basement
| for three years with the understanding
that the city hall would be built and
completed on the lots opposite the court
house by the end Of that time? Was
there anything mysterious or hidden
| from the public about the ratification of
the location by a vote of the people in
| November, 1852 Wasn't the mayors
proclamation submitting the question
published and kept before the people for
twenty days before the eleotionp Were
the t%hirty-three hundred citizens who
cast their votes in favor of the location
misinformed about anything or mysti-
fled by anybody? Wasn't the PROPOSE
tion clear and specific in every respect?
Does the medicine man pretend that
there were more than 239 votes cast
against the location and approval of the
Myers plans? Isn't he simply playing
parrot for the bell-wether of the coun-
Gil who has the happy faculty of gen.
Grating muddies and mystifying people
who lack ability to do their own think
