Capital Coming.

Last week a delegation repre-
seuting a large syndicate of CAPT
taIists from Iowa and Nebraska,
who are seeking a suitable field for
the operation of their money, visited
New Orleans. The Times-Democrat
says: "All the industrials were
carefully examined, the number and
excellence of which surprised them
very much, as they had no idea that
New Orleans had become such a
manufacturing city. They were
particularly impressed with our
lumber mills, an industry in which
several of them are largely interest
ed. The delegation, one and all,
expressed themselves as thoroughly
satisfied with their investigation;
that they will return to their people
with recommendation to locate in
New Orleans, as it comprehends
more advantages and inducements
than any other place they have Wis
tied.
"They will return to the city in
six weeks for the purpose of invest
ing, having examined several choice
sites. Mr.. T. H. Stevens, the Pres
ident of one of the largest lumber
mills in Sioux City, Iowa, told the
Times-Democrat reporter that he
had carefully Investigated all the
points pertaining to the successful
operation of a lumber mill here, and
that be was 80 satisfied with the
results that he would certainly urge
his company to transfer their plant
to this city"

Atlanta (Ga.) Journal: A WELL
known workingman said the other
morning: "The trouble with our
people is, that they are ready to take
to their bosom every fellow that
comes along and proclaims himself a
friend of the laboring man. It makes
no difference who the fellow is or
where he comes from. In nine cases
out of ten these 'self-proclaimed
friends of the laboring mem are either
third-rate politicians in disguise or a
fellow who cannot make a living by
honest toll. For my part I had rather
trust old and tried friends than to
take stump speakers without a job. :"

which the Tulane University has
achieved is due in a large measure
to the able and scholarly manage,

The following sensible language is
used editorially by the Shreveport
Times, every word of which we
heartily indorse:
"The two bruisers, Mitchell and
Corbett, begin to fill the journals
with their sayings and doings. Prize
fighting is brutal, demoralizing, de-
grading and debasing, and the Times
does not prospose, as the States says
of the more pretentious dailies, 'to
slop over with the brag and buster
of the brutes.' If journals would
treat such displays with the silent
contempt they deserve, they would
relapse into the arena of contemptu
Gus disregard. It is only through
newspaper notoriety that such bru-
tality is made at all bearable. Public
opinion condemns this barbarous ex-
hibition in unmeasured terms"
We think it the duty of every edi-
tor who respects his calling to keep
out of his columns the "brag and
bluster" and doings generally of all
such low characters as those above
referred to. We cannot help but be-
leve that newspaper can be clean
and popular too. That newspaper
publisher, in putting money in his
purse" also owes something to the
moral and decent sentiment of the
country which is entitled to some
protection from all such ''hog wash. y
