armor for our warships cannot b.
bcugh: for $500 ton, tie limit ses
oy the last Congress. A statement,
made before the House Naval Com.
mittse shows conclusively that it could
be if there was not an armor trust
formed to bleed the government. One
of the members of this trust sold Rus.
sia three thousand tons of the same
armor for $24O ton. 1t was claimed
by a representative of that Company
that $4,000 was lost on that order,
for the purpose Of introducing their
armor in Europe. This claim was
direct admission that the armor only
cost S255 ton, yet, The trust got tho
price fixed at 1850 ton in the bill -
first passed by Congress. The reduce
iion wss made by the Senate. That
is the sort Of business that makes rich
trusts and disgusts those who believe
in old fashioned honest dealing with
the government as w,ll as with indi.
viduals. If the trust can make arm0r a.
1888 a ton, which its agents say 1t can.
it can certainly afford to sell it 10 the
government for $500 ton, but, OF
course, that is no reason that it will
probably prefer making the next Con.
gress raised the price, and the next
Congress, being Republican in both
branches, will probably be easier to
CO ntrol than the last was.

Mr.. EDITOR

Next May an election for mayor
and councilmen for our growing
little city will be held. The re-
suits of that election are bound to
be of very material importance in
regard to the future prosperity,
stability and steady growth of the
town. Hence beg to be allowed
to throw out a few humble sugges-
tons (through your paper to the
voters of the corporation. My
hope is that the citizens and tax
payers will rise above petty differ
ences Of the past, both political
and otherwise, in the selection of
candidates for above mentioned
Offices Now what hope to see
is that the professional men, the
business men, and in short all tax
payers who have the prosperity
and dignity Of the affairs of our
"Loved Town" at heart should
meet together and then with but
one desire, one hope, one object
in view, select as candidates men
of the very best material based on
business and moral qualifications
regardless of past factional afilia-
tons This simple "modus oper-
andi" / believe would insure the
election of one Of the most respect
ed, efficient and honorable coun-
cils that ever took charge of the
affairs of our town.
With respect,
COMMON CITIZEN.

GREAT MINDS.

We said a few weeks ago that

Sam and we were advising as last
resort to send all the politicians
there and let them be happy toge-
ther. We are glad that the N. O..
PIcAYUNE has come to the same
conclusion this proving that great
minds are running in the same chan
nels. But since reading the article
in the PlCAYUNE we doubt as to the
feasibility of the plan as it seems
from the article that great stand
ing army would be required in the
islands.
Why? The PIcAYUNE does not
say. We suppose, to prevent the
politicians killing each other audpro-
tecting them from the natives.
We are as we said before in favor

looked and beheld city raised many
feet above the river which is the Father
of Waters.
And behold the st reefs thereof were Of
vitrified brick, and shone as the stars of
heaven Beneath we're the sewers of the
city and above were the elevated rail-
roads.
The people Of the city were of all nations
and kindreds and tongues-a multitude
that no man could number. They were
clad in clean raiment and everlasting Joy e"
was upon their faces az they sang: "Bles-
sed be the mayor and aldermen and FORM
er generation of citizens that brought
our land out of darkness into light and
builded city great and glorlous and lar
above all cities.'
And l looked again and beheld men
bearing the refuse Of the city unto the
suburbs thereof and consuming it with
mighty fire. And, behold, the ccmeter
les and sepulchers were passed away
and with them the long and costly funer.
al train. And. behold, the granite and
gold thereof was borne by many men
and made into pavements and Statues and
works of art, that the living might enjoy
the beautiful and rejoice.
And again l looked, and. behods the
children Of Ham were gone over to the
country which the Lord did In ancient
times give unto them. and the color Of the
people that did remain In the city was ~
alabaster. And these people, whose faces
were of alsbas,er. did toll heavily upon
the docks and levees. and all concealed
weapons and swearing tongues had passed
away. for this people. were united pet'.
pie. whose city was their own.
And looked. and behold. the hunted
houses and curio-shops had ceased to be
for in the place Of fllth and CRIME there
was comelinees and practical utility 70
all men. And the banana pccl Lad gone
out from the gutter and the debris from
the pavement, and the expectorating
lounger by saiU3n fronts had passed
away.
And, behold! yellow fever and quaran-
tine were no more. And again behel1
the houses were remodeled and did con-
tain furnaces for winter and baths for
all seasons, and there was no more pain
neither crying nor sickness; for former
things had passed away.
And the crooked streets swere made
str aigtt and the rough cobbles asphalt,
and street cars ran al the prescribed rate
of speed. And parks did replace ceme-
teries. and in the parks were the monun-
ents that formerly blocked the streets.
And l beheld one exception to this.
which was the statue Of General Robert

titled him to "a permanency in the heart

And, behold! Mardi Gras had psssed
