Saving the People From Them
selves.

A few weeks ago, Congress en-
acted the annexation to the United
States of the Hawaiian Islands
Their territory, by that act, be
comes the territory of the Unitet
States, and their people bocom,
the people of the United States
The people Of the United States
can only be of two sorts, citizens
and unnaturalized foreigners. The
newly annexed islands contain about
10000 white persons; 10000 Ha-
wailans, who are of o black race;
$4,000 Japanes; 10000 Chinese,
and about 1000 mongrels Of vari-
Gus races. Many serious ques-
tlonS are going to arise out of this
annexation TO perplex and puzzle
the statesmen and iuristS of the
United States.
One OF the most troubleson ques-
tons will be as to the political
status of the various sorts and
races of people who have been in
cluded in the annexation. Will
all be entitled to citizenship by
virtue of being residents of the
islands at the time of the annexa-
ton after they shall have taken
the OATH of allegiance to the Unit
ed States, or will there be exeep-
tl0ns on account of race and color9
Then will all who are admitted to
citizenship be admitted to the
privilege of suffrage, or will that
franchise be limited to those who
possess particular Qualifications
Picayune.
Settle the whole difficulty with a
single strbke of the pen-make
Murphy j. Foster governor-gone
raj of the islands, and it is done.
He can take 1000 mongrels and
control the balance of the popuIa-
tion-especially, if the 10000
white men are as plant and subser-
Went as the white people of Lou
lsana. One constitutional conven-
ton under his control will effectu-
ally save Hawaii from itself. He
mas certainly saved the people of
Louisiana from themselves, ''to
he Queens taste," and they are
ust now beginning to find it out.

Criminal stupidity.
New Time,

Tho time was when there was
fsome pertinaucy to the remark that
The Democratic party WAS a half
educated mob commanded by ca
Dable and talented leaders. To-day
it is more nearly correct to assert
that the Democratic party cosists
of . fairly intelligent rank and
file misled by stupid, incompetent
and blundering generals.
You may search Congress in
vain for a Democrat fitted in any
degree to assume the role of lead
er or statesman. In this splend-
ID crisis in American history, what
Democrat has arisen equal to the
opportunity and voiced program
and policy worthy of D great
party and great leader? None.
All former records Of party stu
pidlty have been surpassed and in
comparative imbecility this is a
notable achievement.
The Republican leaders and the
Republican administration took
their cue from Wall street and
were opposed to war and for
peace at any price. Hanna, El-
kins, Rockefeller, J. Pierpoint
Morgan, Carnegie, the syndicate
trusts, the banking and stock GAM
bling interests and all the forces
which were arrayed against the
producers in 1896 whined for a
dishonorable peace. Those who
raised a corruption fund Of mil
lions for ''sound money" and "na-
tional honor" bowed to the will of
the Rothschilds and became the
apologists for Spain and reyiled
as jingoes those who insisted that
the slaughter of 250,0OO Cubans
and the murder of 266 American
sailors was a just cause for war.
The banks became active centers
Of American toryism. Boards of
Trade sent in petitions for peace.
Ihe Republican press insisted that
The Maine explosion was an acci-
lent. Effemirlate preachers and |
oeace advocates overran the White !
House, and Mckinley covered be-
heath the pressure of money, men
lacity and maldIinism.
The Democratic press and the
Democratic rank and file were for
var. Under popular spur their
representatives in Congress made
ne party war party. The few
republicans, such as Senators Ma
on and Chandler, who Joined
hem were crucifed by the corpo-
alton press. Then the Repubi-
an masses revolted and refused to
ollow the Rothschild Republican
'ar policy. Mckinley surrender
d, It was political suicide to Ion
Natchitoches populist., 1898-07-29

ger hold ont against an almost
unanimous popular demand for
war and u vigorous war.
During all this time the adyant
age was with the Democrats and
anti-administration forces. Where
is that advantage to. day. Thrown
away by clique of political dast-
ards who do not seem to have suf-
ticient sagacity to foot up election
returns. They have opposed bat
a feeble resistance to the infamous
revenue bill. Democratic votes
and Democratic cowartlice, or
worse, has made the bond issue
possible. A Democratic tiIibuster
is now delaying the just, logical
and inevitable annexation of Ha-
waii. Democratic leaders are war
ming the people against the exten-
sion OF American territory. From
being the war party, which forced
Mckinley into abject submission,
Democracy, under criminally idiot
lc leadership, seems almost ready
to voice the sentiment that ''the
war is a failure" :"
There is no use Of beating about
the bush in this matter. The pres
ent Democratic leaders and MANA
gers never can lead the people to
a victory. They must be pushed
aside. The people prefer to fol-
low brilliant criminals rather than
laundering bourbons who never
forget and never learn.
The logic of events forced the
Democratic party into 8 position
OF advantage. The Grass folly of
its leaders has caused it to aband-
on an unassailable fortiication.

FRIDAY, July 20, 1868.

Elsewhere we publish some re.
marks Of the Daily Picayunc
about our fellow -townsman and
candidate for congress, Mr., Brea-
zeaIe.
Only a couple of weeks before
that same paper through its re-
portorial staff at Baton Rouge, had
something to say about this editor,
and while it did not call rs liar,
nor anything half so harsh, still it
made iDvidious remarks about our
clothes, and otherwise rufled our
feelings.
Being the first man from Match
itoches attacked by this sheet, we
thought to let it pass as purely in
cidental, or prossibly accidental,
but this second attack on one of
the great men Of Natchitoches dis
pels the fond delusions and forces
us to conclude that the old lady
Pic. has it in for Natchitoehes, and
that she is putting it on rather too
heavy. In pleading with a tyrant
centuries ago, the victim declared
that if You take away the prop of
4 house You might as we'll take the
house, SO in this instance, if the
Pic. is going to defame two of the
most lesdlngest men in Natchito-
ches, she might as we'll attack the
city itself, and we would suggest
from ilInstrious precedent that a
committee of our citizens be in
daced to wait on the Pic. and see
what can be done to bring about
harmony between that paper and
the. gentlemon it has so malicious. |
ly attacked--not that it makes any
particular difference with these
gentlemen, but for the sake of the
Picayune.

the prospect before us and weigh.
ed the chances of every man we
can think Of in the party in this
district and can think of none
whose chances to win would be as
good as those oil S. J. Henry Of
Natchitoches. There are other
competent men in the district but
they are not available, and there
are available men who are not
competent ; SD we say let us set
tie on Sam Henry and give him our
support for the nomination. He
is widely knowr by having been
chairman of our State convention
at Alexandria in '96. He would
make us a candidate competent to
meet any opponent and If elected
he would make the district an
able and honest representative.
Let us have Sam Henry. What

Committee,

A new machine for making bread
from raw wheat will soon be put in
Operation in the large cities, which
will be most revolutionary in Its
effects on several industries. The
wheat is poured into the machine,
soaked in water, converted into
pulp, and after the refuse is remov-
ed, it is formed into loaves and
conveyed by roflres into an oven
and baked. A few ordinary work
men operating the machine will
make bread enough for a large
city, and according to experts the
bread is purer and more whole
some than that baked by the pres
ent process it is said that bread
can be produced as cheap as -four
to-day.-Cemlng Nation.
