70 the Democracy of the Fifth Con-
gressional District ofLouisiaua: We
the undersigned, appointed by the
Democratic Executive Committee oil
the Fifth Congressional District OF
Louisiana, to draft and issue an
address to the Democracy of the dis
triet, would respectfully call your at
tention to the deplorsble condition OF
The organization of the party through
out the State, in our opinion traceable
largely TO the factional warfare and
chickering's within the party, disloyal
denunciations or party nominees and
officials, encouraging independentism,
thereby weakening our forces and
strengthening the enemy.
The result of such policy recently
came very near resulting in the Cleo
ton of United States Senator by the
General Assembly of the State of
Louisiana, by a combine of Rcpubli-
cans, Populists and few Independents
calling Themselves Democrats. The
consultation OF such scheme would
have been deplorable in its consequent
Gee and results to The Democratic or
ganiza,ion throughout the State, and
was happily averted by the warning
factious III the General Assembly sink
ing all past differences and personal
animosities, and ralIying 30 the stand
ard OF that true and tried leader
Samuel D. McEnery.
With pride we point tho Democracy
of the Fifth Congressional District to
the magnanimity of their brethren in
the General Assembly, sinking and
forgetting all fsctional differences
which had heretofore divided them,
looking alone to the welfare and sue
cess of The party Democrats with
widely divergent views upon ques-
tons Of tariff and finance cheerfully
uniting il one solid phaIanx to sustain
the Democratic party in it's peril and
currently, snatching victory from tho
jaws of defeat, and perpetanting the
reign aud supremacy OF Democracy,
which has done SO much TO promote
and insure the blessings of liberty to
The people of Louisiana.
We cherish the hope that the Demo-
Gratis of the Fifth Congressional Dis
trIct will vie with each other in circu-
lating the noble example of their
brothers in tho General Assembly,
and with one accord work in unison
and harmony cheerfully for our party
nominee, the Hon Charles j. Boatner,
who has served his party with such
signal devotion aud ability in the past.

Mr.. w. w. Duson, editor and
founder of the Crowley Signal, has
retired from the journalistic field
and has severed all connection with
that paper. Mr.. L. S. Scott, its
publisher, has taken control and is
now at the helm. Editor Duson
made the Signal the equal OF any
paper in the State, and we regret
that he has retired from journalism.
Mr.. Scott made the Signal the equal
of any paper in appearance, and we
know that his talents will show up in
his new position. Success.

1t is strange indeed how the Popu-
lists members of the Legislature
could affiliate with the Redablicans
as they have done. But we suppose
they place their fingers in their nos

They have been fooled in every at.

Over one thousand people were
crushed to death at the coronation
exercises of the Gear of Russia last
week, at Moscow. A popular feast
had been prepared for 500, 900 peas
ants, and when the dinner hour came
q rush was made for the tables.
The efforts of the police to keep
back the hungry mass were useless,
and in the mad rush women and
children, and even men were crushed
to death.

A Western Dancer.

From The Boston Transcript.
A new danger threatens the west + is
neither the drought nor the overdue mort
gage. out the voice OF the seductive land
agent, crying the superior charms OF the
south. The farmer of Iowa and Kansas and
Nebraska, weary Of conditions imposed ON
him by vagaries of the middle-weSter1 cil-
mate takes advantage OF the many free
excursions offered by southbOund railroads
on his return from his observation tour &c
sells his farm, and with the proceeds buys
perhaps four times as many acres IN the
south. The land which he buys IS ene1p az
the price asked. Southern land now selling
at s. to So per acre before the war brought
at least SIS IL is much more productive
than good Iowa land at $40 an acre. 4
western farmer who rents his land can buy
a farm in the south for less than he would
rent one in the north-esIeclally in Iowa
Land in the latter state has advanced so
RAPIDLY the last few years that the tenant
farmer can hardly hope to make himself
the owner of his land. During the past sea-
son two or three hundred families have
zone south from the neighbo-hood q bu-
buque alone. Many counties OF Iowa report
that numbers of well-to-do families have
departed for Mississippi and other south
ern states. The immigration from Iowa IS
of a particularly good character The mn
migrants go not individually but in colonies
One Cedar Rapids firm has lately sold
eight Thousand acres to Iowans going south.
The immigrants from Kansas, Nebraska
and South Dakota for the most part are
those who have suffered from repeated fail
ure of crops Though they take little
money with them, they have plenty OF en-
ergy Like the migrating Iowans, they in
tend to raise garden stuff and other small
produce for the northern market. The de-
mand for this is said TO be greatly in eA-
cess of the supply. Although perhaps the
larger part OF the immigration Is 10 Ms
sissippi Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri,
Alabama and Tennessee also prove attrac-
tive.
The celebration at Lookout mountain
last autumn and the Atlanta exposition
have been instrumental III developing an
interest in the south. But stronger than
either is the influence OF the southern r&ll-
roads, which made special rates for ImEl-
grants and special prices for the large
tracts OF land which they have 10 Sell
From Kansas and Nebraska there IS little
immigration to California or other western
states. Those who move so south Al
though some OF the imm grants return %
their former homes dissatisfied with the
change, the majority are cOntented.
Immigrants from the east viii 20 an eN-
tent make up for the loss of population 70
these middle western states. But still the
movement is causing some present concern
in Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
