For the CLARION.

| ~ NA~S SAS@AANA~A's
Yellow fever, we are told, leaves its
ghost behind to haunt us; overdows
threaten and are predicted the lot
tery-the Louisiana Lottery-is said
to be Godsend misrule and execu-
tive inability are charged selfishness,
narrowness and venal methods in f.
nance, perfunctoriness in matters judi
cial and a total want of harmonious
action in every hing pertaining to the
general welfare, proclaimed.
These are some of the leading themes
of majority of the daily press of this
city. Can it be that this accumula-
tion of ISLANDERS against Louisiana
will find an echo inR Rthe hearts of her
people?
Per contra, is it not true that yel-
low fever is no longer feared, that
years have elapsed since we have had
the fever and that sanitary measures
have been adopted that will guard us
against this scourge infuture?
The threatened overflow is no longer
a matter of serious import. The ex-
perience of last year and the splendid
condition of the levees at present, are
sufficient guaranty against future
anxiety. The immense crop of sugar
and rice made upon the very lands
that were supposed to have been swept
by the floods of 1890, are living wit
nesses against the hue and cry of
certain papers in this city-that the
lowlands of Louisiana were devastated.
The lottery is doomed. Its advocates
know this. No amount of praise be-
slowed upon Mr.. Morris for his chari-
ty, democratic principles and patriotic
intentions can possibly mislead our
people. The lottery must and will go.
Louisiana's fair name mnst be re-
deemed. The executive department
of this State stands -eminently be-
fore the world as being in the hands
of an honest, patriotic gentleman, lit
tie versed in pot-house politics, but
thoroughly able to guard the honor OF
his State and the integrity of his
party.
There is but little doubt that what
is urged against the judiciary and fl
nancial departments of the govern
ment are equally misleading.
The future of Louisiana is assured, if
Louisianians will stop harpi,1g upon
minor questions or stop painting the
dark sides to an imaginary picture.
We have asplendid crop, good levees,
an honest governor and a people who
are rapidly emerging from debt and
obsolete methods. Let the people of
Louisiana turn cold shoulder upon
those who would malign our God-fav-
ored State let them depend upon the
natural and unbounded resources fur
nished by river, forest and plain; let
them practice proper economy and
display ordinary energy and intelli-
gence, and there will be no cause for
complaint in future. j. NJ. M.

How sweet and how welcome the summons
of Death
When it comes to the Lords aged saints
How gladly resign they the slow, labored
breath,
How gladly lay down lifes complaints
Lamb of God
Can no terrors in Deaths river find;
Its banks, for long days, have their worn
spirits trod,
The boatman, who waits there, is kind.
Their souls long to venture upon the cold
stream
And to cross to the shore just beyond;
Of heaven and the 5oys\ Gaiting there, oft
they dream,
OF God, and the loved oneSll0 fond.
We mourn, dearest friends, ahd thy pres
ence we miss,
Yet we wish not to oall thee again
From that land whose calm zephyrs thy
brows gently kiss
To this, full of sorrow and pain.
Reunited are ye; with thy friends loved
and lost
Now We tune heavenly harps, while ye
sing,
With the angels of glory and blood-re-
deemed host,
High praises to Him who reigns the
King.
We, too, hope to meet there, upon those
bright sands,
And beside the white throne gladly greet
The friends long loved here, and, with
hand clasping hands,
Thank God for the meeting SO sweet.

4 PICTURE OF LIFE.
BY META sAPPHo LITTELL.

BY META SAPPHO LITTELL.
The pale moon winds her solitary way,
Night weeps, beneath her jeweled crown
Dreary night winds sigh DER the death O
day,
And res less burning stars flash down.
The oceans foam-cap'd waves break on the
shore,
The sea gulls shrek in homeward flight
From the oceans deep heart its sad waves
roar,
Rejecting the weird. beacon light
Echoes reverberate thro' the shadows dim
The winds sob thro' the still hush rings;
Night on her dusky wings bears the grand
That weird, pathetic nature sings.
The moon sinks into her cloud-curtained
bed;
Natures soul throbs meath her brown
breast,
Claiming creation, of her nourished,
Calling her babes again to their rest.
The forests whisper of death and decay;
The pictures on The walls of time,
AS they beauteously crumble away,
Absorb arts soul in t.nts sublime.
The great "tomb of man, with It's starlit
dome,
And paintings on its crumbling walls,
Silently absorbs man. TO make mans home
"From rest back to resi-" all earth calls.

In the beginning, before the reign
of the Lottery in this State, we heard
no complaint that Louisiana was a
pauper and incompetent to take care
of herself financially. During the last
twenty odd years the Lottery has
made millions of dollars; and for fear
the impression might be made on the
people Of the State, that the most o1
this money was drawn from them, the
Lottery advocates have been assiduous
in stating that 81 per cent of the sales
OF, Lottery tickets have been made
outside of the State. Now, the point
we would like to be enlightened on is
Why, with all this money coming in.
to the State during the past twenty
years, has Louisiana degenerated into
a pauper State, and that it has be-
come necessary to accept the Lottery's
charity to support her government?
Is Louisiana to be classed as the "demi.
| monde" among her sister States?

We have more than once shown
clearly enough that the lottery takes
more from the people of this State
than it promises to pay; but if it we're
otherwise, If the lottery paid all its
winnings into the State treasury
could we call it honest in Louisiana I'd
live by the violation of the laws OF
