TOO MUCH BUSINESS IN NEW ORLEANS.
Homer Guardian-Journal If the
people would elect members OF the
legislature who have less bushes IN
New Orleans during the session of
that body it would be better for tine
State.
NEW ORLEANS THE PLACE.
Morgan City Review: Baton ROYCE
is not accessible to the people of the
state. Besides being out OF the way.
it is Il nne-ho,s Sc town, not such Il place
as should he for the seat or govern
m4nt. The old ST. Louis Hotel, New
Orleans, is Il suitable location, and No
doubt the next session of the legiSla-
tnre will adopt an amendment to this
end. Let the change be maze It's soon
as possible.
ENFORCE OR REPEAL 1T.
Ma .chitoches Enterprise There is a
general movement throughout the
State looking to the enforcement of
the Sunday law, even so is it the case
in New Orleans. We are glad to see
such a spirit %actuating the new law
officers of the State. for it will do one
of two things. compel observance Of
the law or force its repeal. All laws
on the statute books should be enforced
or repealed.
Cyp.TpTATEn nv THE TT DON
Pointe Coupeo Banner the hill
parishes over tie river and the border
ing counties of Mississippi are flooded
wit. negro emigrants from the over
flowed sections of this State. These
unfortunates were forced b. starva-
ton to forsake their homes and rich
fields in Louisiana for these arid hill
sides where they encounter much
wretchedness, but manage by hard
labor to exc out ii living from the
scanty wages which they receive.
OPPOSE TO NEW ORLEANS.
Abheville Meridional There were
certain very good reasons why the
seat of government vas renewed from
New Orleans to Baton Rouge and we
think these objections are as forcefnl
to-day as ever. While weadmit Baton
Rouge is Il sort of out Of the way place,
reached by an all the way around
Robin Hoods barn route, W. are not
prepared to see our solons SO back TO
New Orleans. The trouble is they like
it too blamed well now. If the capital
is to be changed put it at Alexandria,
it is near the geographical center of
the State, aud far enough from New
Orleans to keep the legislators where
they belong.
FAIRY AND AND RICE FARMING.
Crowly Signal If you could stand
upon q tower and look out upon Aca-
dia parish with a telescope eye, an
enchanting and picturesque scene
would greet the vision. The vast rice
fields Of luxuriant verdure would ap
pear like IN emerald sea, studded with
Il thousand woodland islands. and the
coy. happy homes OF the people gleam-
Ing like patches of sunlight upon a
fairy landscape, or rs gems OF pearl in
4 setting azure hue. 1t would not
simply be a poetic picture, because
when the grain becomes golden in color
from the fruitage of its rich haryests,
it proves a veritable ''Aladdin's LAMP"
to the happy and prosperous inhabi-
tantS.
REMOVING THE CAPITAL.
Felieiana Sentinel: The discussion
of the question OF removing the State
capital to New Orleans is receiving
considerable attention from the press
throughout the State. Every effort
m&de by our friends of Baton Rouge i'll
the Improvement of the streets and
sidewalks aud in general manifesta-
tions Of public spirit, will he to their
advantage if the question of removal
should be brought to d test at the
next session of the legislature. The
Waterman is strongly opposed to the
proposed removal. but 1t is of the
opinion that the people of Baton Rouge
must exert themselves to retain the
advantages they possess in the site of
the capital oil the State.
KEEP THEM OUT OF REACH OF TENpTA-
Corcordia Sentinel We think
better that the capital should be where
It is. In Baton Rouge the members
are not surrounded BY evil Influences
that would beset them in a larger city.
