Of the Democratic party to accomlisl
a pourpo,e which will benefit then
alone" Now come Brother Hicks
we think you are mistaken. We Of
Sonth Louisiana are not displeaseo
at you; but we cauuot understand
why you are against sugar. Neither
can we understand why you say that
the production of sugar in South
Louisiana does not benefit North
Louisiana. We contend that it does.
-Vermillion Star
Our esteemed Brother Pipes com
pleteiy misunderstands us if he thinks
we are opposed to a duty on sugar.
On the contrary we favor it, and think
Lonisiana's industries are as much
entitled to recognition from the
Democratic party aud the people. as
any State; but we do contend for and
advocate this, that the demands of
The Democratic party are superior TO
those q any Stste, aud when the
party decides npon a certain plan Of
action then we expect our dear old
State to be true to herself and her
principles, though in doing So it may
cost her considerable.
Any one can easily do night when
It cost nothing to do so, and can the
more easily when it pays to do 50:
bat greatness consists in doing RIGHT
under adverse circumstances. There
fore we want Louisiana to be one of

is best to put sugar on the free list.

1t is all nonsense to stand with oul
hands in our pockets and shout your.
self hoarse at the lawmakers to send
money and restore confidence. What
is needed is for the people to show
their confidence by their own acts
Then take hold and retire the mem
bers of the national congress if their
acts are not satisfactory. The idea
of eternally playing BOBBY and blub-
bering over wrongs and distress and
hard times will never bring relief.
Take hold. Do something. Make
public sentiment be felt. Change
the men IN power. Revolutionize at
the ballot box, Make your servants
realize that when you mean demo-
cratic principles, that you mean it.
That they have no right to set up
Their individual opinions and prefer
ences III opposition to the proclaimed
doctrines on which you elected them.
That they are the servants, not the
masters, and you-the people-must
and shall be obeyed. Democratic
rule means the rule of the majority.
-Shrevepor5 Times.
There is much sensible, sound ad-
wise in this, brother, and The Pro
GRE>s lndOrSeS your utterances.
Year in and year out do, or have, the
masses remained idle ana growled
forth their objections on street corn
ers and corner groceries, and while
thus idling the time away, the politi-
cal trIcksters have managed public
affairs to suit themselves.
But we think a brighter day Is
coming and that the suggestions of
our neighbor are being put into
practical shape.

IF our South Louisiana journals

sugar, and more about securing an
honest election law, their efforts

Brother Hicks, we are with YOU
on the question of an honest election
law; but we want you North Louisiana
editors to distinctly understand that
we are interested in sugar, because it
is the only thing we know of now for
livelihood. An honest election law
won't feed the people of South

rHE REPUBLICAN PoLrCt

to the tariff bill when IL shall reach the
Senate developes the fact that they are
as yet undecided as 10 whether they
will move 20 rs-commit the bill upon
the commencement OF the debate Mon

the bill was received from the House
and the Democratic majority Of the
Finance Committee refused 10 grant
hearings. but thero are indications
that they have reconsidored
and will not move In this
direction, at least not AZ tho beginning
OF the debate. There is no indication,
however, that they have abated the
purpose OF contendlng for ever point OF
advantage and forcing. II possible, full
debate on evory proposition contained
10 the bill. They expect tho general
debate to continue for at least a month
and hope TO have every schedule dis
cussed paragraph by paragraph after
wards. Some OF them intimate that
they consider II may DO possible by this
course to delay action so az 20 render IL
impossible to pass upon the bill during
the present session. The purpose Of
the Democrats Is 70 permit the Repub-
licans TO 90 the greater part Of the talk
ing.
The Democrats say that they will
make explicit statements Of their rea-
sons for the various changes and then
refrain from further discussion OF them,
however much they may be baited by
the Republicans. After there shall have
been sufficient time for legitimate de-
bate they will probably ask for contIn-
uous sessions The Democratic mem

RIO De JANEIRo, March 25.-Ahairs
here are rapidly resuming their normal
aspect, and aside from the damage done
to the fort aud along the water front By
the FIRE from the insurgsnt war ships all
traces Of warfare have disappeared.
The week past has been one Of general
festiyity, marked by the constant firing
Of saluIes and the holding Of reviews.
The usual religious professions were
held, and the church services were very
largely attended. For months past the
city was filled with troops and almost
everything partook Of 4 military char
scter. Now the troops, or at
least by far the greater number
Of them, have gone south TO re-
inforce the government armies in
the States where the insurgents
are still opposing the Federal author
tiles. The harbor has been deserted by
all the foreign warships, and the load
ing and discharging of merchant YES
sells is proceeding as before the revolt.
The government entertains no fear OF
much further trouble in the South.
The insurgent sympsthizers claim that
the placing OF Admiral De Mello at the
head of the provisional government Will
attract many persons to the rebel stand
ard, but the government here believes
that the insurgent forces will gradutlly
melt awdy until nothing remains.
IL is reported here that the rebels are
already retresting from Rio Grande do
Sui, and 1t is thought that by the time
the government reinforcements arrive
there, there will be no enemy for them
to engage.
Business in Rio Janeiro is rapidly re-
vivlng. This is especially true in the
case OF houses dealing with American
merchants. 1t is the general opinion
here that the attitude OF the United
States during the trouble here will re-
suit in q material increase OF the busl-
ness done with that country.
There has. Of course, been much talk
concerning the flight Of Admirs Da
Cana and his officers on board the Port
uguese warships. Most OF what has oesn
said In this connection, particularly
about trouble between Brazil and Port.
ugAl. growing out OF the asylum afforded
the insurgent officers by che command
ers OF the Portuguese warships, was
simply bluff. Atno time since the affair
has trouble been likely.
The story TO the effect that the po-
lice were arresting many foreigners
suspected OF being concerned directly
or Indirectly with the revolt Is gross
e1ageTation.
The correspondents OF the various
American newspapers have left the
city enroute TO their homes, or ars max
ing preparations for their departure,
which is evidence that the trouble is
ovor so far as Rio Janero is concerned.
Nearly all Of the Americans, who are
OF the crew Of the dynamite cruiser
Nictheroy, have left for the United
States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 25.-Sen-

Army Of the Commonweal, in which be
SAYS:
The preservation Of life, liberty and
the pursuit OF happiness, was intrusted
20 the people uuder The constitution
Of the United States. A free ballot
was the means by which the
sovereign people could retain tbe rights
acquired bv the patriots who gained the
indepeudence aud established the gov
ernment of the United States. There
have been uo WashingtOus, Jedersons,
Jacks0us or LiuCO.us elected President
OF the United States in the last two de-
c8des. A souHess despOt Of alien origin
is monarch oi the commercial world.
His name Is money. bis Instruments Of
oppression are banks and bonds. His
servants are admiui-tratiye and legisla-
t.vo bodies The tides OF November
are approaching. An opportunity for
she people t0 StrIke Tor liberty will
again be presented The old parties,
which have surrendered the rights Of
the people tO The rule af concentrated
capital will ask FOR renewal or their
lease Of power az the ballot box. Every
movement of the people 10 obtain relief
outside of the forms OF law will be de-
nOunced as anarchy The purse strings
of the nation are held by Congress IN
der the dictation Of the administration
and the President is commander IN
chief of the army aud navy Of the
United States. Every attempt TO
place the ballot under the control
OF federal authority has thus
far been successfully resist
ed. Let your army be reinforced by
the millions Of the unemployed and by
the wealth producers Of the Nation,
aud be thoroughly modified for the
battle ia November, when q victory for
the rights of man against the despOt-
ism Of banks snd bonds is possible.
Abandon the folly Of marching an I'M
armed multitude OF starving labOrers
against the modern appliances Of war
under the control OF SoulleSS money
trust. Such folly will augment the
power Of the oppreSsOr and endanEer
the safety Of the ballot itself. Disorder
is an that is required TO insure the su-
premacy Of the armed forces of the
money powers at the polls. Trust no
man who hss once deceived you. Let
the government Of the United States
administer for and not against the peo-
pie. Use the ballot to protect liberty,
Justice aDd equal rights, aud not TO
elevate to power the agents Of banks
and bonds to perpetuate the rule Of an
oigarchy Of wealth.

GEORGES DOCTRINES.
Are They Condemned or Not Condemned
Bv the Pope? Thst is the Question.

Are They Condemned or Not Condemned
BY the POpes Thst is the Question.
New YORK, March 25.-There was
published here to-day a statement from
a Rome correspondent that the holy
Office has condemned the doctrines Of
Henry George and that this con-
demnatiOn cannot but be followed
bv some grave consequences.
In view Of the fact that Henry George
is expected 10 be q candidate for the
mayoralty Of this city, and that such
announcement would seriously affect
his chances Of success, an Associated
Press reporter made inquiries as TO the
truth OF the statement to-day. Rev.
James y. Connolly, secretary 10 Arch
bishop Corrigan, said:
Henry Georges doctrines were en-
phatically condemned by the Holy See
TWO years ago, and there is no necessity
for any further condemnation Of them
now"
Mr.. John ID. Crimmins did not be-
lieve the holy office made any recent
announcement The Pope" ne said,
ISSUED an eucyclical two years ago, In
which be condemned Henry Georges
theory as TO State ownership OF lands.
That encyclical deals with the question
now as well as when issued"
Mr.. Henry George said: 81 do not
believe there is any truth in the state
ment. I don't think the Holy office
will or can condemn nv doctrines" In
answer to a question as to whether the
Papal encyclical was not condemnatory
Of his theories, Mr.. George said: "The
encyclical does not deal with my doc
trine at all, and therefore cannot con-
denim it, Ny doctrine is so palpaoly
right that auy such condemnation as
thar spoken Of is utterly impossible"
Rev. Edward McGlynn looked on the
statement SIS absurd. II am positive. u"
added ne, "that il is absolutely false.
The inquistion has neither condemned
Mr.. Georges doctrine nor will il do so.
Of that you may rest assured" It's as
serted that the conoemnatory structure
on Henry Georges doctrine has been
forwarded from Rome.

MAssuLoN, March 24.-About 1000

By the League For the Promotion OF So

New YORK, March 25.-The action
Of the National Christian League for
the Promotion OF Social Purity in refer
ence to the Breckinridge Pollard case,
is likely to call forth similar expressions
from various parts of the country. Mrs.
Elizabeth K. GranniS, President Of the
League, explains the matter thus:
''No formal resolutions were adopted.
We simply voted unanimously that this
man ought to be deposed from the high
position he has attained on account Of
the wrong be has done to the marriage
relation, to society and TO the State.
There are too many ColoEel Breckin-
ridges and Miss Polards in Washing
ton We did not do anything TO ex-
press our sympathy with Miss Pollard,
but when the trial is over We shall
do whatever is the proper thing.
We don't know that there is any law
by which Col. Breckinrldge can be i'm
peached, but we are going to ask Con-
gress to do it anyhow. We are going TO
see Elbrldge T. Gerry and Judge Ar
noux and have everything done as it
should be. We are also going TO ask
Mrs. Breckinridge TO renounce her hus-
band, and il she has spark OF woman
hood in her, she will do it,"
