Palmer, who Invariably addressed Mrs. Dominis as your maj-s esty" and spoke of her to the visitors as "her royal highness."
 Those who conversed with the ex- queen found her an intelligent, grace full, dignified hostess and doubtless nu- merous invitations will be pressed upon her with such force that she will here- after be seen at many functions, The ex-queen intinated that she was de- lighted with Washington and it's peo- pie and had no idea of leaving hastily. She gave to some the impression that she might like to stay here always.

that the whole world would want
coal oil and that high prices and
profitable results in the industry
were absolutely certain. In these
later days, when we find coal oil
selling at and cents we can see
the results of an immense supply.
Low prices are sure TO come
when the supply exceeds the cur
rent demand. Low prices gen
orally develop an increased demand
from new directions. While 3-cent
cotton would now seem impossible,
the recurrence of low prices again
this year would certainly indicate
that the prices of cotton will con-
time to decline until some balance
shall be struck at which point the
planters will discontinue raising
cotton and turn their attention to
other crops.

A few years back the editor of this
journal met a prominent North
Louisiana gentleman in his own city
and asked him how he was getting
was endeavoring to adjust himself
to four-cent cotton, and found
great difficulty in doing SO. The
several years of higher prices that
have prevailed since have led many
persons to believe that cotton at
four cents in the country, while
possible, like an invasion of the
plague or yellow fever, was not to
be expected in the ordinary course
of things, and that the assumption
of such low prices for our grea
staple should not be made in consi-
dering our financial condition. The
return again to low prices this pre-
sent season now seems to be awaken
ing our planters and farmers to the
fact that there is no limit to the
lowness of prices for any great crop,
excepting the capacity of the pro-
ducers to produce it at less and
less cost. The doctrine of the fit
test prevails in matters agricultural
as we'll as in other directions, and
there would seem to be no limit to
the lowness of prices to which cot
ton or any other great staple may be
forced, excepting the resulting dis
inclination of the planters and far
mers to discontinue in its culture
when it becomes unprofitable to
them and in diminution in the crop
that would thus result.
Constant efforts may be made to
induce our planters to diminish

made effective, as no voluntary
elimination in acreage is likely to
occur if cotton should remain the
most profitable crop for the South
ern tillcr of the soil. When, how
ever, he finds that his cotton crop
puts him in debt and that general
farming would leave him surplus
of money at the end of the year,
he will then quickly adopt general
farming. Necessity seems to be
the only real motive power in bring
ing about these great industrial
changes. Forty years ago the
writer asked friend then engaged

not likely that the price of coal oil
would diminish greatly. The an

UNITE THE PARTY

Baton Rouge Advocate:
In series of articles covering
the past few days the Advocate has
Gratis of Louisiana the imperative
duty of supporting none but Demo
Gratis for delegates to the constitu-
tional convention and of selecting
the very ablest and purest men in
the several parishes as the local
delegates. We have shown how the
pending contest will be one in
which the Democratic party will be
pitted against the field, and we have
warned Democrats against the folly
and danger of being caught in the
snares which the enemies of the
party will set to trap the unwary.
In these articles we have called at
tention to but few of the many
details which will enter into the
makeup OF the campaign, and all
that we have said has been with a
view of solidifying the party and
preparing it for the struggle which
is before us. There are those who
are of the opinion that the short
ness of the time elapsing between
this and the final election for dele
gates in January will render the
campaign somewhat tame and mild
in comparison with what we have
been accustomed to in this State.
We should be glad indeed were we
able to see any indications of the

scan the political horizon as we
may we see nothing upon which to
base any hope for mild campaign.
On the contrary, however, every
thing tends to indicate the approach
Of one of the most heated cam
paigns ever experienced in this
State, and on this account men who
are Democrats from principle
should take every precaution to
strengthen the party and put it in
condition to do valiant service in
behalf of the people when the fight
takes place. We must not, as has
been suggested in some quarters,
abandon our guns, disintegrate our
army and go over to the enemy,
but we must strengthen our re-
doubts, thoroughly man the out
posts, call in all the reserves and
prepare for a vigorous and power
full defense when our works are as
sailed by the combined forces OF
Populism and Repul,licanism. It
will not do to shut our eyes to the
swiftly moving events that are hur-
rying forward to final consumma-
ton in the political arena of this
State. Democracy will surely have
to contend against the field, and we
might as we'll begin our prepare
tons for such fight now.
In order to make this fight sue
cessfully we must have the support
of all Democrats, as division in the
face of united foe will mean polit-
ical annihilation, and that too at a
time when of all others we can
least afford to pass over the reins to
our opponents. Therefore, we
must lay aside all our narrow little
prejudices and find some common
ground upon which every true
Democrat can stand without sacri-
flee to principle or qualification of
record. We must have common
rallying point about which every
Democrat may gather and lend his
aid to the success of the great
movement in which we are engaged.
We must make the way easy and
the burden light to all who desire
to come to our support with tue
purpose of heart, and which all our
principles must be held sacred we
must extend the right hand of fell
lowship to such hayward brothers
as may have tired of feeding upon
the husks of PoPulism or the east
wind of Republican prosperity.
We must not let down the party
bars indiscriminately and yet we
should not rebuff such as sincerely
desire to renew their allegiance to
the party and ask for the privilege
of again marching to victory under
our glorious banners. We have a
duty to perform-to the party, to
civilization and to Posterity-and
in the performance of this duty let
US invite the assistance of those
men who sincerely admire Demo-
cratic traditions and Democratic
principles. Let US rehabilitate the
party and invite to our assistance
all who love her princi pies.
