CLIFFORD OR NAVARRO,
With the Commoner as Possibility-The
Track Driving Fast.

Track Drying Fast.
New York, June 22.-The entry list for
the Suburban handicap, to be run to-
morrow, was made public this afternoon.
The following are the announced start
ers and their Jockeys:
Henry of Navarro (Griffin).
Nanki-Pooh DoggetD.
Hornpipe (Hamilton).
Sir Walter (BallarO.
Belmar (Sims).
Clifford (TaraD.
The Commoner (Clayton).
The race promises to be one of the best
Suburbans in years, for none but the
best horses in training are left in. The
track was very heavy last night after
the rain, but it has been drying out, and
except in some places was in fairly good
condition this afternoon. Superintendent
Clark said tonight that it would be as
fast as at any time since it was built,
and the trainers agreed with him.
Clifford and Navarro did their last
work in 210, and both Rogers and
Hyland, their respective trainers, think
that the race lies between them,
although they have a high respect for
The Commoner.

Prince Bismark, the illustrious Ger
man, has a higher conception of the
ability of the people of the United
States than many of our rich bugs, who
are unwilling to make any change in
our financial system without the con-
sent Of foreign nations. In a letter to
Gov. CnlbertsoD, of Texas, discussing
bimetalism, he says: considered from
a commercial and industrial standpoint,
the United Stateaale freer by far in
their movements man any nation in
Europe, and hence if the people of the
United States should find it compatible
with their interests to take independ-
ent action in the direction of bimetal-
ism, | cannot but believe that such ac.
ton would exert a most ~salutary in
fluence upon the consummation of in
%ternatiOna1 agreement, and the coming
into this league of every European ma
ton.

immigration.

AS the election is happily over in this
State, it now becomes the duty OF the
press to devote special attention to the
question of immigration. The success
of the Democratic ticket Eve assume as
a matter of course, that the DcmocratlC
ticket has won,) will assure peace and
prosperity to Louisiana. Under these
conditions there is no other Southern
State that holds ont equal inducements
to the thritty Immigrant who Is IN search
of cheap and ricil lands.
The Shreveport Times r%eprohuces an
article from the st. Luuls Southern Age,
giving the causes for the removal OF
farmers from the Northwestern States
to a more genial aud favorable cline.
We are told that Que OF the principal
causes OF discomfort IN the Northwest
and the consequent movement or lmml-
grafton southwark is found in the fact
that that section has suffered from two
bad crop failures in succession. Crop
failures in the South are almost IN
known, and when to this feature are
added the other numerous attractions
offered by Southern territory, 1t Is no
wonder that there is such Il pronounced
exodus from the north and west, where
many farmers undertook to pay too
much for their ian n have Oetn uflV-
en- out by the foreclosure of mortgages
and are seeking Il country where cheap
er land may be had.
1t is obvious that the same thing is
now happening to the northwest that
formerly happened to the older eastern
States. The cheap lands OF the north
west attracted people from other States
and from abroad. This migration was
stimulated by railroads and emigration
agencies. With all the vast and rapid
increase of population the lands in the
northwest rose to figures out Of proper.
ton to the value of the products, and
these States have themselves come to
feel the drain of population which at
one time they Inflicted upon others.
The eyes of the people naturally turn
to the South AS the one section where
cheap land may still be had.
With this and other influences at work
this migration is likely to continue fol
years, and the people of Louisiana as
individuals, and the State Legislature,
as a body, should spare no pains in en-
deavoring to divert this golden stream
into our borders. States.
The Opelousas courier., 1896-10-10

The men who are conducting the
gold cause in the present campaign
either lack argument or are de-
ficient in logic and sound sense, when
they descend to villification and down
right falsehood to sustain their cause.
Calling men "fools and %anachists" is a
poor method OF convincing their rea-
son. This simply confirms the bimetal-
ISIS in the soundness and righteousness
of their cause. It convinces every SEN
sible man-of the intolerance and vim
dictiveness of the bankers, the manu-
%facturers and the m%illionaires who
adopt such pueIile methods.-Shreye-
