and he proposes a oFoad platform,
adapted to the south as we'll as the
north. His speech throughout is pa
triotic and national, free from the
slightest suspicion Of that sectionaGsm
with which be was credited. It's tone is
friendly. and the good wishes he ex-
presses for the south, the sympathy
for it in the difficult problems it has to
solve, and his strong protest against
any interference that would tend to
render these Problems more difficult
should be and will be appreciated By the
southern people. II he can persuade
the party whose head he is to follow
the line he lays down, the race problem,
freed from sectional or political COM
plications, can be brought to a salts
factory settlement far sooner than we
had hoped for, and with far less fric-
ton.

New Orleans Picayune Feb. Il.

The president yesterday, on the oc-
casion of celebrating the anniversary
OF A braham Lincoln's birthday by the
Republican Club OF New York, took
up the race question and made 1t the
theme of his address.
The presidents expressions were en-
tirely conservative, limiting his views
chiefly to the Importance Of so educa-
ting the two races that they will live
together in harmony, each assured the
equal protection Of the law and each
enjoying opportunity to do the best
for itself with such abilities as it may
possess and for their common country.
There was no proposition to coerce the
south in any way, but the belief was
expressed that the south would do what
was right by the inferior race, for the
good of both, for the good of the
south and Tor the good OF the common
country.
This is fair and just view, and is
all that the southern people can ask in
the premises.

Real estate in New Orleans is gen.
erally assessed at it's cash value, and
it rarely if ever falls as low as one
third of that value. II then southwest
Louisiana assesses property at 33 Is
per cent Of it's true value, and New
Orleans at 90 to 100 per cent. the pro-
visions of the constitution as regards
equality and uniformity are violated.
It seems to US, further, that several
of the conferences lost sight OF what
was supposed to be the real reason
for calling them-to secure that equal
ftv and uniformity ordered by the
constitution-and thought their pur-
pose was to force up the assessments
so as to assure larger revenues for the
state. This matter was dwelt on at far
too great length. Decisive measures
were necessary to provide sufficient
revenues to meet the expenses Of the
government, it was urged, as the APP
propriations made by the last legisla-
tnre were 500, 900 above the revenues.
It seems to US that the question OF
revenue is a secondary one to that OF
equal and uniform taxation, which is
constitutional right Of the taxpayer.
The Louisiana legislature has never
had the courage to take hold OF this
m after, and the existing evils of our
aeeossment system will never be cor
rected until it does So. From the con-
ferences we may expect Improvement
in several lines. The more delinquent
parishes will be called TO terms and
the total taxable valuation of the state
will probably be improved, but we will
not have reached the root OF the evil
the unequal taxation with which the
residents of the several districts OF the
state are burdened.

The reappointment of Walter Cohen
as register OF the United States land
Office at New Orleans is said to have
been due mainly to the personal in
fiuence and solicitation of Booker
Wash ington. Which lends color to
the charge preferred by men Of his own
race that the noted Tuskegee educa-
tors efforts are not always of a char
acter TO promote the best interests OF
the colored people OF this country. He
has certainly added nothing to his
credit or good repute by backing up
the pretensions of Walter Cohen to
political and official leadership of the
colored citizens Of Louisiana.

dowa there u no medicine SO valuable as
Or. Pferee's Golden Medical Discovery.
It cures diseases, of the stomach and
ether organs Of digestion and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin IN diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach Is weak
there is failure to properly digest and
assin1ilate the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole body. and each organ
of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, SO
that as consequence Of weak stom-
ach, there may be weak lungs, weak"
heart, weak or torpid liver, weak
nerves. etc, By curing diseases Of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, vGolden Medical Dscov
erys enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of healthy body. II increases the ac-
tivity Of the blood-making glands, and
so increases the supply of blood which
is the vital fluid of the body.
There is no alcohol in the Discovery
and it is entirafy free from opium, CO.
caine, and ali other narcotics.
Sick and ailing people especially those
suffering from disease In its chronic form
are invited TO consult DR. Pierce by letter
free. AL correspondence is held as
