LOULSIANA'S VTCTORY.

DVClOIdNd - FlCIOH Il.
When we take ID consideration and
realize the powerful influence that
antagonized the democratic party's
success in the recent Louisiana elec-
ton, then do we behold what glo-
rious victory that state achieved.
1t was not man against man, but
party against party, and the leading
advocates OF both sides strovs with
all theil might to reach the goal.
Democracy can hoist It's banner with
just pride, for what it earned was
not earned by promises with hopes
TO DO; but by its pure, simple, uual-
tering and eternal principles Of right.
Mississippi, with its thousands of
votes cast in democracy's favor, is
not a credit to the party in the same
sense that Louisiana has proven her
self to be. Democracy 10 Mississip-
pi has practically no opposition, and
would therefore win even il one.ha
her citizens remained away from the
polls.
But In Louisiana II was a struggle,
struggle In which every particle of
force counted; 1t was q battle 10.
whicn each claimed to come oin vlor
torious, and in this trying combat
democracy succeeded in throwing, its.
lance in the enemy's breast, on the
end of which now waves the con-
queror's banner.
But Louisiana must not mistake
her victory. Republicanism 10 not
dead. Flushed with its gain IL may
renew its attack with increased vigor,
and 1t therefore behooyes the good
people Of that state TO enact such
laws as will insure q peaceful elec-
tiop, and likewise assure democratic
success.
1t may take some years to educate
the sugar growers Of our sister state

allying themselves with the republl-
can party. Perhaps they are stilI in.
spired by the bounty, but the bounty
Lis dead and can have no resurrection.
The republicans may promise much,
but they are notorious for doing lit
tie, and II they should be allowed
to- cherish (?) the rich sugar
cane fieldS'o of Louisiana, the planters
would only be encouraging 4 party
to perpetuate oheof the most damna-
BILE infamies ever perpetrated oh any
civilized government. Let demoGfa.
cy rule in our sister state, and BY
gradation the sugar industry will
thrive, the planter will accumulate
honest wealth, and peace and pros
perity will mark the state for their
own.

n DISMAL FAILURE.

Our republican friends have scored
one more failure. No tariff, no cur
rency reform and now no recip-
rocity. This congress has indeed
been most dismal failure, exactly
as Speaker and Candidate Reed
cheerfnlly predicted IL would be
when the session began. On the
evening on which Reed was chosen
for speaker in the republican eau
Gus he is credited in the report Of
his speech with uttering this warning
TO his party: "IIistory will accord
us praise for what we did In the fifty
first congress, and 1t may accord US
praise In this for what we do not do"
Not only in congress, but out Of it
as we'll, the "grand" old party keeps
on It's laundering. II Mckinley
fails of nomination, protection and
reciprocity will receive another blow.
And worse than that 1t will be due
to the efforts OF the proscriptIve

The Echo hopes will be done, and

Prison Reform.

The best prison results are only to
be had by keeping them free from
party considerations and party pat
ronage. A prison official IS never
done learning. The greater his OBJ
servation and experience, the more
his value to the commonwealth and
its prisoners Struggles for political
power through control of party pat
ronage and spoils can have no just
place in prison polity, where the
temporal and eternal welfare of thou
sands is concerned, and where train
ing and experience are the qualities
most required. In such a great
semi-charitable public interest, where
questions Of individual temperament
and character hold irst place, the
introduction Of selfish considerations
would be even more baleful than in
a school or 9 church, because con-
victs are subjected TO thezn while
under foreible restraint, and because
they are more concealed from public
scrutiny and less accessible for pop
ular correction. Any plan Of prison
management whatever must prove a
moral and ~pecuniary failure. unless
all personal and selfish considerations
can be absolutely and permanently
excluded by effective law. j.
