"a MODEL

1t is matter of public record,
which he does not deny, nor is he
ashamed of the fact, that the edi.
tor of the LOUISIANA DEMOCRAT
has been a staunch and uncompro.
missing opponent of Governor Eos
ter. We may have denominated
him a usurper and de taeo Governor
in times past, but we do not think
that the files of the LOUISIANA
DEMOCRAT will show, that we
ever characterized him as the est.
Mary ballot box suffer-" as charg
ed by the Tom 1alk. Life is too
short and our time too much occu.
pied, however, to consult them,
but if our neighbor thinks he is
correct in the assertion, they are
at his service.
Welfare supporting Governor
Foster now for several reasons,
all of which are satisfactory to US.
Our opposition to him ceased, nor
has there ever appeared a line in
the DEMOCRAT derogatory to him
individually or discrediting his
title as Chief Magistrate, since the
bolt of the sugar planters to the
Republican party.
The patriotic course which he
pursued at that time, in opposition
to this unwise proceeding, even at
the imminent peril Of alternating
his best friends in the sugar belt
and particularly in his OWN parish,
convinced us, that Murphy j. Eos
ter had the interest, success and
preservation of the Democratic par.
ty at heart, over and above that
of individuals.
1t is principally due to the hero.
ic and patriotic attitude which he
assumed at that time, that the Re.
publican candidates were defeated
in the first, second and third con
gressional districts. Besides, his
record as chief magistrate viii
compare favorably with the best
of our Executives, both prior tt
and subsequent to the civil war.
Indeed, in the language of thu
Town Talk several months ago
when that journal was defending
him from the assaults of the Lou

We believe that the existing
breach in the Democratic part,
should be closed, instead of bein.
continually widened by interns
dissensions, simply to promote thu
interests or to crafty the resent
ment ofdisappointed Office seekers
old political hacks and designing
politicians.
In our opinion, the denomination
of Murphy J. Foster, will accom-
pIish this much to be desired oh

lines. Hence, the influence of tn
LOUISIANA DEMOCRAT, Unite,
'hough it may be, will be exerte,

Among the launches Is the Aator's Mig

OUR VALIANT DEFENDER
The New Yacht Pronounced o Bril-
liant Success.
TESTS OF SPEED AND ENDURANCE.

The Cup Defender Not Only Sails Away
from All Yachts In New York Harbor,
but Elbows That She Gan be Speedily
Handled.
BRISTOL, r. l., July s-The second trial
trip Of the Defender was made yesterday,
and 1t proved satisfactory insvery respect
Captain Nat Herreshoff and tho mem.
bers Of the syndicate who were on board
after their return declared themselves de-
lighted both with the speed and with the
behavior Of the yacht The training yacht
Colonia was the Defenders running mate,
and In the cruising the syndicate boat
fairly sailed around the Colonia. The De-
fender also encountered several other
crack sailors who, anxious for brush, set
sail after her, but they were quickly left
behind. These doings on tho part of the
new boat added greatly to the satisfaction
OF her owners and crew.
Captain Nat Herreshoff handled the
wheel Of the Defender r, and on board were
che members Of the syndicate and Cap
tain Hank Half. After considerable time
consumed in getting the sails in trim the
Defender took the wind and started away
on the starboard tack back Of Hog
Island. The Colonia caught the breeze
half minute later, and they were off.
The Defender continued on the tack az
far as Hog Island, six miles away, and
although the wind was light and I'M
steady, blowing from the southwest, the
Colonia steadily dropped behind, and
after few minutes was out of hailing dis
lance. The yachts came about of Gould
Island.
Near this point large feet Of yachts
which had mt ntrk In
tioipation of the trial. was encountered
From Gould Island the course was laid
for Sand Point, along which the Defender
not only showed the Colonia her heels,
but In several minor brushes she was soon
far ahead.
From Sand Point to the lightship, and
thence to Providence Island, the Defender
and Colonia proceeded, the former leading
easily both In laying up TO and running
before the wind She carried her canvas
we'll and could have stood a much stronger
breeze without shortening sails. The only
trouble Of consequence was caused by tho
misflt Of the topsail, which was too large
and baggod considerably. Some little time
was spent in cutting this down. The hun
dreds who watched the Defender expressed
great surprise TO see how her sail held the
wind, and when the breeze died away she
was equally surprising In laying up to the
wind.
Another pleasing point which the syn
dictate learned was the remarkable speed
with which the Defender can be brought
about. BY actual time this feat was per-
formed In Just fifteen seconds, or ten sec
onds quicker than the best time the Vigil
liant ever made in coming about From
yesterdays trials II was figured that the
Defender outsailed the Colonia by about
ten minutes in ten miles.
Subsequently the boats started out on
second trial. and although the wind died
away to almost dead calm the Defender
held the breeze and easily passed every
thing In the barbor.

Now York,a .Dry" Sunday.

NEW YORK, July s.-Yesterday, in DO
lice parlance, was dry Sunday. That is,
according to the police, the saloons were
closed, and the excise laws wore being en-.
forced entirely. This, however, was not
strictly true. A stranger in New York
might travel the whole city over without
being able to quench his thirst, but tho
man who know the bartender or the So
loon keeper or the imam at the door, had
no need to go thirsty, The police, how
ever, made determined effort to enforce
the laws, and doubtless the saloons were
as tightly shut as they can be closed dur
Ing the operations of the present laws. At
the uptown hotels all of the bars were
closed, and the guests were served with
drinks only when a meal was served.
Even the excursion steamers sailing from
the city closed their bars. Altogether tho
determination of the police commissioners
to enforce tho excise law was carried into
execution with unexpected rigidity.
