llVlng-One Oh the very lew re-
naming links that connect the
present with the past. He has
lived to see his glorious prophe-
cies and predictions, at that dedi-
cation, more than realized. 1t
may be of interest to state that
Mr.. Jonas, in the course of his
prominent and distinguished ca
reer, occupied a seat in the Unit
ed States Senate, as Senator for
the State of Louisiana.
The Dedication Day was also
the first anniversary of the Asso-
citation, and such was the enthu-
siasm that about 100000 were
donated during the collection the
Board of Directors had provided
for the guests, thus enabling the
administration to meet the needs
of the institution for that year
for there were not, as yet, sufh-
cient members to make good the
annual expenses, which would
amount to $4,000 or $4,000.
And, as anniversary followed
anniversary, it became, as it
IWere, an unwritten lava GUS
tom-for our men and women,
and the children, too, to attend
them, to meet our orphans face
to face, and to gather the lesso-
aye, the inspiration-of the
moment. All differences of rank
OF station were forgotten on
these days-all met upon the
same broad platform, that of
; generous sympathy for the I'M
fortunate and the forlorn. The
poor widows mite, the little saw
ings of the children, all, offered
at these anniversaries, were of
the same precious value, than
the offerings of the wealthy. The
whole community became as one.
, And as time progresses, indie
, pendent of the grand lesson i'm
parted to both old and young,
there was a material side to the
question. For without the do
nations at these anniversaries, it
would have become impossible
for the administrations follow
ing each other to meet the ever
increasing demands and costs.
, These donations were adboslute-
ly necessary to the very life of
the Association.
On the LIST day of February,
1856, the Home was opened for

that end. He depicted the past,
and pointed out the path of duty
to meet the increasing calls and
necessities in a spirit of unselfish
philanthropy.
The ceremonies of the corner
stone laying were attended by
the civil authorities of the city,
and by many prominent person
alities, and a large number of
the members of the Association
and their families.
At the first semi-annual meet
ing of the Association, held Oc-
tober 7th, the Finance Commit
tee submitted a very comprehen-
sive statement. The members
roll exhibited 1876, at $1,000 an
nually, to which must be added
the yearly contributions of Mr..
George Jonas, 500; l. L. Flor
ance, 500; and A. Bloch, $50
an annual revenue, therefore. of
81, $40, leaving a balance exceed
ing $1,000 to be provided for.
The following was the state
ment as to the estimated cost of
establishing the Home:
Cost of lots, $4,O65.OO.
Construction of the Home
building, including Architect and
superintendent fee or commits
sion, $11,275.OO.
Probable cost of cisterns,
fence, grading, ETC., $1,660.00. .
Probable cost of furniture
stoves, etc., ETC., $1,500.OO.
Total, $18,500.O0.
Exclusive of the support fol
widows and orphans, pending the
erection of the Home building
amounting to about $500.
At the Board meeting of Oc-
tober 2, 1856, Mr.. Joseph Coin
rendered his resignation as Sec
rotary, which he had filled with
much zeal, from the incipiency OF
the organization, which, being
absolute, was accepted with re,
greet, and Rev. James K. Gutheim
was elected in his place.
On the 18th day of December
the Board of Officers decided to
dedicate the new Home on the
9Th day of January, 1856, and
adopted a programme for that
purpose. Rev. James K. Githeim

See the Handwriting.

The Democratic newspaper this
morning just prior to the concerning
of the Democratic county nominating
convention here had most remark
able editorial from party viewpoint.
Several weeks that organ has been
diligently engaged in spreading the
report that there was no dlscord, no
detection, in the Democratic party of
the county this year as on previous
occasions.
However, this morning II made an
open admission that 1t had been grley-
iously in error in this respect. While
1t did not come out plainly and say
that there was lack of harmony, yet
the burden of the editorial on the
subject was to beg the Democrats to
get together.
For some time 1t has been known
that the manipulators hive been very
busy fixing up ticket to their Xix
ing and running primary or district
conventions in a way that resulted in
their selections for the nominating
convention. The Democratic organ
fully recognized this fact and felt as
sured that the work of the convention
would be highly displeaslng to many
party members, as we'll as some of the
influential in the country districts.
Possessing this feeling and having
this knowledge, 1t thought to entreat
them to quietly submit to the dicta-
ton and domination OF the bosses.
Recognizing that much beseeching
along this line will have to be done
1t took the matter in hand even be-
fore the convention met and thought
to forestall trouble in the party.
But, the. seeds OF discord were wide
ly sown' at the district conventions,
when the conventions were packed"
and the ballot boxes stuffed sin the
interest of the bosses and their slate.
resulting from which the crop of de-
lection is already We'll maturing and
the convention today but added
nuture to 1t.
Had the Democratic organ true to
party interest counselled before the
district conventions fairness and hon
est methods, 1t might now be in posi-
ton to say there is harmony, but be-
lated efforts will prove quite futile.
