THE SOUTHERN PRESS.

It has been my good fortune to
know the South in wal aud in peace.
1t is a land worthy Of the eulogy of
every honest man. 1t. clothes one
half of the nation. Il contains more
coal and more iron than all the rest
of the United States.
In the year just closed 1t raised
the biggest crops in its history, and
turned out more iron than for the
entire ten years from 1870 to 1880.
1t is a land new in energies, new in
growth, new in ideas.
Within twenty-five years it has
added millions to lis population, has
trebled it's wealth. Great as this
growth has been, the expansion of
its journalism has eclipsed all other
features of its progress. The wealth
of the South has increased fourfold
the wealth of its newspapers has
increased tenfold. Where there was
one subscriber twenty years ago,
there are a dozen subscribers today.
It was this new journalism of the
South that made the New South.
The newspapers have always been
in advance Of their environments,
and they have enlisted every means
that would aid the real development
of the moral and material interests
Of their people.-Felix Angus.

The Crowley Signal, which is
undoubtedly in a position to know
charges that the Talmage's Of New
York, are not friendly to the
Louisiana rice planters; that "they
are either directly or indirectly in.
terested in the rice trust-at least to
that extent o. entirely abandoning
the rough market in Louisiana.
This is the opinion of almost every
intelligent planter in the State who
has kept pace with their treatment
of the domestic crop. With the
New Orleans daily reports before
them it would be extremely grafti-
Tying to know what excuse this firm
has to offer for the statement re-
Gently sent out in which the size of
the Louisiana rice crop was so
grossly misrepresen.ed. The same
policy was pursued during the sun
mer mouths Of last seasonal the
time when the outlook was most
gloomy and when the writer, at the
request of Talmage's Sons. furnished
numerous reports Of the actual crop
conditions, and which reports were
very unlike those emanating from
the Office of this firm"

Says the New York Tribune:
Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, is
said to be a connoisseur in neckties.
Every day this season he has APP
peared in the Senate chamber WEAR
ing q different necktie. They are
not loud ones, either, but all selected
with excellent taste. His favorite
color is a light blue, but he wears
this in all shades, and never by any
mistake does he wear the same tie
two days. He has a very handsome
complexion, and is proud of it, and
he selects ties to harmonic with his
own color.

The idea of having the assess

suggested some time ago by the

is a good one, and il il becomes law

The New Orleans States is to be
commended for the vigor and cour-
age it displays in attacking the vii
lanies which threaten the peace and
good name of that city. Discussing
the dance hall nuisance it says:
That the decision relied on was rem.
dered by the Supreme Court is n
questionably true; but whether it
restraints the authorities from closing
up an iniquitious and d~isgraceful
den of drunkenness and prostitution,
within a stones throw of Canal
street, is certainly open to more
doubt than has intruded itself into
the profound depths Of the city hall
brigade of lawyers. And in the
present case, having no better au-
thority than city hall law for assum-
ing that this decision also protects
the Schonhausen diye,it would be the
high and proper thing for Mayor
Fitzpatrick to do, to promptly have
this cess pool of vice and shame, in
the very heart Of the city, closed up,
and leave Schonhausen and his pals
to take to the courts for the protec.
ton of their alleged rights; and in
that event we shall see whether or
not, under Louisiana law, a decision
of the Supreme Court of Louisiana,
10 defiance Of common decency. and
against the protests of outraged
neighbors, and an indignant people,

tuition may faunt its debauchcries

Pat Donan OH the Situation.

Pat Donaa is a wild Irish Demo-
crat who has made the wild and
woody west, and the great unsalted
seas of the north, fairly vibrate with
his lurid eloquenee. Somehow Pat
hasn't yet succeeded IN getting his
claws hooked onto the flesh pots of
official patronage and the Colonel
feels sorter weak in the stomach and
slightly bilious. But he has taken a
long breath, caught agood grip on
the English language, and he thus
sizes up the Cleveland administra
ton:
1t plunged into diplomacy, and
the Hawaiian infamy and shame at
test its marvellous genius for blum
dering; it chose Hampton Hogo to
blazon its fame among the Orientals,
and the vermilion surcingle of de-
lirium tremens he stretched across q
hemisphere will long remain the
gorgeous masterpiece of official
razzle dazz'es.
Instances and fluctuations of its
magnificent ability at bringing dis
credit upon itself and the majestic
republic it ~afflicts might be multi
piled almost to ipfinity. but one
more must close this brief indict-
meDt. Letters just received from
Egypt bring me disgustful tidiDgs
of Clevelandism in the land of the
Pharaohs.
Pennfeld, the United States con-
