This Great State.

The Delta predicts the largest bust
ness for New Orleans during 1898
ever recorded, and believes the bank
clearings will go over $4,000, 900, 900.
Seven hundred barrels of rice was
the product one Cslcasieu parish
farmer obtained from so acres of
ground, and another threshed 1900
from $50 acres of land.
The parish of Vermilion is making
some fine developments in rice cul-
ture, and capitalists are thereby be-
ing induced to invest. A party from
North Louisiana lately bought over
$500 acres of land in that parish at a
cost of $4,000.
The Sunday law was conformed to
throughout New Orleans during last
Saturday night and Sunday as it has
never been known before in the
Crescent City. All places of business
were closed and kept closed through
out the day. The Delta says: ''The
stand which Mr.. Adams has taken
deserves the plaudits of the people.
1t has demonstrated what one fearless
and determined public official can
accomplish in upholding the law"

The struggle on the part of the
Democratic leaders to put Democrat
ic principles into operation in the
administration of our public affairs
has been long and constant. Often
times the cause seemed almost hope
less. Often spirits not so brave,
hearts less determined, would have
succumbed end abandoned the con-
test. But not so with the Democratic
leaders. We recall now in the day of
our triumph the glorious persistency
of Hendricks, Thurman, VOORHEES,,
Bayard and that handful of Demo
Gratis who withstood the storms of
twenty years and never finched in
their devotion to the good cause
We remember the years when Radi-
cal legislation Of the most abominable
character was passed through Con
gress in a whirwind of applause, and
we recall the narrow escapes we of
the South made through the admira-
BILE management and courage and
wonderful physical endurance of Sam
Randall.
The great struggle of 1874 comes
to our mind when the people of this
country for the first time repudiated
the excuses of sectional Radicalism,
and gave the Democrats control of
the House. From that day the tide
has ebbed and flowed, has surged at
times strongly towards the Democra
cy, only to be checked by the hold
which the Republicans had on the
United States Senate, which was
their citadel, and where by the ad-
mission of new States, they constant
ly intrenched themselves.
At length the rainbow has appear
ed in the sky. At length we see the
beautiful colors that hope paints for
the faithful. The past with its po-
litical trials and tribulations is be-
hind us. The future bids fair to be
glorious. We rejoice that the eyes
of Thurman have not deem denied
the qualification of beholdidgit. We
regret that Sunset Cox does not re-
main to see the sunrise. Other
noble men, now gone, might well be
remembered. The work With they
did however lives and the result for
which they labored is now about to
be accomplished. The principles
which they advocated will now be
put in force and the people will lead
a new life under their benefcient OPP
Grafton.

The Manchester ship canal, some par

these columns, will not be open to traf-
nc until January LIST. The managers
of the canal say that several steamers
are already engaged to bring cotton
from New Orleans and Galveston to
the Manchester mills direct, and 1873
splnners, owning more than 10000, 900
spindles and consuming about $50, 900
tons of raw cotton yearly, have signed
a statement booming the new route
These pledge themselves to give pref
erence,, when buying cotton to arrive
to cotton shipped direct; and when
buying on the spot, to cotton imported
direct and stored in Manchester. The
present cost of conveying ton of cot
ton from a ship in the Liverpool docks
to Manchester is Is shillings and 8
pence, whereas the total amount pay.
able to the ship canal on cotton land
ed at the Manchester docks, for canal
toll. wharfage, landing, will be shil-
lings. In order to encourage ship
owners to begin loading vessels for
Manchester, the canal company has
agreed to not charge ship dues upon
cotton vessels delivering their cargo
at Manchester during the cotton sea-
son ending October. 1894. This will
be saving to each ship of a shilling
and 8 pence net per ton.

MANUFACTURERS. TAKE notice..

An effort is being made to have Utah
properly represented at the California
Mi1winter Fair. 1t ought to be en-
Outraged. When we are SO near to the
place of exhibition compared with the
distance to Chicago, the success of the
territory at the Worlds exposition
ought to be sufficient answer to OBJ
jections against its appearance at San
Francisco.
There can be no doubt that with a
genuine effort, at comparatively small
cost, Utah can make a good showing
at the Mid-Winter Fair. A large num-
Der of exhibits used at Chicago could
be made available, and many more
can be gathered and utilized, so that
la creditable presentation of our pro-
ducts. manufactures and resources can
be given of which we need not be
ashamed.
President Hubbard of the Chamber
|of Commerce is earnest in his desire.
to press this matter on the attention
of the public. He has been in com
munlcation with the railroad people,
and has no doubt that all we could
expect will be granted in the way of
transportation. The full particulars
he is ready to communicate to all
who are interested. He therefore de-
sires to meet with the manufacturers
Of the city tonight at the Chamber of
Commerce at eight o'clock.
We urge upon all our manufacture
ers, no matter what branch of bust
ness they may be engaged in, that it
is important they should be repre-
sented at the California great show.
They should therefore attend the
meeting tonight and learn what can
be done and what ought to be done.
This is a matter of personal interest
to them and of general interest to the
public.
Now that the subject has been taken
up in a practical shape, everybody
should feel pride and pleasure in for
warding the movement. Whoever has
anything to exhibit or to contribute in
anyway to the success of the under
taking, should communicate with Mr..
Hubbard and be ready to respond to
requests for help. Let US have a good
exhibition of Utah attractions.
