THE BAIIHER-DEW¶ORAT. P'OLtt:o IFV VtRY SATU;RDAY AT LAKE PROVIDENCE. LA. D. L. MORGAN . Editor. JAfMES N, 'URNEBPR, Pabllsher and Proprietor. UBnsCRI1T'IlO: $200 PER YEAR. Saturday, - April 22. - 1893 Spantsh Honduras is in the Midst of an endless revolutionary ferment. Where is Elder Burke? I The Southern governors at the Richmond conventton adjourned regularly to take a snifter. Universal suffrage is becoming the universal cry among the people of the old world across the Atlantic. The Wall street financiers in New York. have run up against a financial snag in the person of Secretary Car lisle. A coffin trust has recently been or ganized. This we regard as crowd ing poor humanity into the last corner. Tne U. 8. Senate adjourned on Monday, and Washington City hmoks deserted.- Even the offtice seekers are gone. The stars and stripes have been hauled down from over the Hawaiian i capitol at Honoluluht by order of U. S. Commissioner Blount. Positive assurance comes from Washington that the American in terests in the Hawaiian Islands will not be either neglected or abandoned.

The scaffold from which Ossawnt tam"e Brown wasi hnn- on December id, 1859 in Virginia, will be exhibi ted at the world's fair; but according to the old abolition rhyme "His Ssoul keeps marching ou." Senator Voorhees castigated the Iloarey Senator from Massachussetts unmercifully just previous to final adjournment of the Senate when the aRosvh charges were being discuss ed before that augn(t body. The Appeal-Avalanche says "the price of wheat has gone to Kansas." It might truthfully have added that the wheat was sent to New Orleans to feed the hungry bipeds on the other side of the herrny pond. By recent enactment, the oftficials of South,Carolina will haundle all the liquors sold in the State. This will enable the Governor to send word often to his neiglhbor in North Caro lina, so that hereafter it will ,ot be such a very long time between drinks with them. During the first month of Ihsrri son's administration 825 fourth class postmasters of Democratio proclivi ties were removed, while Maxwell has turned out only 370 rads in the 4th elass deportment during (Grover's irst month, and still the Republican fraternity are not .mtrthful. The fight against white cap out rages is now on in Mississippi with great vigor, and in. our opinion it should be pushed to success every where else to the complete exterm-i eatifen of the brutal loafers that in dulge in such vicious practices, as the white caps have been guilty of.

It is very evident that the bitter factional feeling which prevailed among the Democracy in Louisiana a short time back is daily dying out, passing away and following after the dead issues that gave rise to so much Sirritation antunnecessary contention. The very best element among tl e leaders of the party have 'given ut terance to a strong desire to have the factional wounds completely healed and closed up forever. Among those we refer to, on one itde we find Senator White and Con gressman Blanchard, while on the other side the lion. C. J. Boatner l and se veral others are outspoken in I their advocacy of peace and har mony. It has been very properly suggest ed that the surest and most direct course towards the much desired harmony will be, to have as near as v possible, a fair division of the federal I official appointments that may fall to the share of Louisiana distributed between the most competent and best qualified members of the two fac tions: thus bringing them together on the broad national platform of I equal rights and equal recognition. This we believe is the earnest wish n of a large majority of the Democracy a of the State that in the late struggle s put in their adhesion to the Foster following on one side and the McEu ery following on the other; but, there are those within the party though few in number who disregard peace and harmony. Confirmed malcontents, who as chronic office seekers, form n themselves into political rings and limit their interest in politics to their II interest in patronage; ofloe, and office only is their watch word-the begining and ending of all their thoughts and aspirations. These are the real obstructionists to harmony, and will always be found bobbing up serenely, come what way, as long as there is a particle of pap or patron age in sight. Another class of obstructionists are aptly described by the Daily States e as follows: f There are, it is true, scattered here and there throughout the State. a few pohtical manikins with the temper of the singe cat and the brains and hab its of the gnat, who are constantly r sceking to stir up had blood and strife . in the party by buzzing over dead gissues; but foitunately they are utter ly without inlusunce, and uteir flurry tends rather to excite amusement than resentment. True, they do not amount to much e moment outside of the little irritation they produce. Their say Is "like ! a tale told by an idiot, full of sound e and fury, signifying nothing." Thus far there lais but few feder al plums fallen into the lap of Louis Stanas, and the balance of her share of Sthe crop of precious fruit will doubt less fall from time to time as the wisdom and good judgment of the Presilent determines the shaking, of the Allicial treeg So the division sutggested as the necessary and es Is sential step in the direction of per e manent harmony can be easily and II readily carried oct, if those in autho d rnty will but buckle down to the de Ssirahle work. The matter to agreat e ly responsible extent rests with them. : Equality in all things according to capacity and general usefulness has i always been regarded as a fundamen tal Demiocratic doctrine. It is this I doctrine duly observed that has held I the party together intact all through sithe many political viscisitudes that I swept the other party organization into the voracious vortex of nonex Sisterce; and it will require a right eous observance of this same doe Stuine of equality in the coming dis tribution of federal patronage to Scement the factions permanently to i gether in Louisiana and produce the i harmony so much needed. s DIED ABORINIG. It is with much satisfaction, after s carefully waiting and watching we Sare able to announce that the cr.t i- esdcu inaugurated against Col. Cran - dall has met with no eneouragementu it whatever-ntot even among tG, a Foster faction, or branch of the SD)emocracy from whence it rst§ it sprung. This i as iit should be.

Crandall beyond the shadow of a doubt, heluce the -iguoble attempt to injure a true and tried Democrat died aborning, as it well deserved to do. The fearless. impartial and trench ant Daily States, in refering to the matter, u:nts it pointedly as follows: A ferocious outcer has been mnads lit certain quartters aganst :he appoint. ilent of .Mr. A. W. tCrntllt if, thlhe olbi·e of pio-Itiia-er inl his ciy " T'hii, sereateC,. for ilsuch a vitsrouis one. was sotnewhul dilator.4e its ihe niitail; in deal it did not break on ii wntil it t.w gan to look lie though Ihi-re was, strong Ipri,babilit of Mr. Cransdl's obtaining tie postmlasstershilp, where uipon it was Iturneil hiise in a dozen asllrrer atf the sain. lime.

Which explains the whole thing, or in other words, accounts for the sour milk in the coconut. It is about time this outcry of "I am more righteous than thou" in the Democratic ranks was pats stop to. Its object is too selfishly transparent to be commendable to any one. The lottery issue is gone-passed away --and uo one who has any regard for harmony ins the ranks of th-e Democracy will ever attempt to re vive it either directly or inrectly. We sitcerely hope and trust Mr. Crandall will be commissioned at 1 postinaster in New Orleans, because 4ie is well deserving of it as a faith ful and unfltlching member of thet Democratic party ; is competent ii every way to fill the position ; a I horough gentleman of no ordinary ability, and stands in such high lestimation in the minds of the Iie) pie of Louisiana that all such at taCkR as those we have nmentionled will inevitably die aborining The population of the Louisian. penitentiary now foot up nearly 1,100 The highest number ever known. A destructive storm peased over the Southern portions of Louisian and Mississippi near the close of lase week. The Baton Rouge Advocate sayt "it is not the least bit ashamed.' S"Epraim is given to his idols, let bin went." Governor Foster after the adjourn ment of the convention at Richmond extended his trip to Washington Cit. and visited the Senate chamber whil, there.

There wi, not be regular nations L military encampment at the Chic-gi e world's fair, but several companie! f from Louisiana will be in atteudanet there on their own account. The Police Jury of the Parish oe St. Mary appronprsated 83,000 fo Sschool purposes at its last meeting - which will extend the present sessio -to nine months. Longer than an, - session ever before held. The depth of water between tbe jetties at Southtwest pass seems to ba Sgradually dtimiuishing, and the faa is creating considerable disuanssiot 5-among the agents of heavy draf steamers that visit New Orleans. SCongressman Blanchard spelt harmony with a big R.

Ye ;lP; Bednt.it o these vry iats it tba idsdfe a their Aamer The St. Fraseis River Bottem. PosAdhly the greatest levee work ever undertaken by a single corpora tion is that projected by the St. Francis levee board. It conteIm plates the reclamation of the entire St. Francis river basin by a system of levees, the building of which will involve the expenditure of an immense sum of money.. The St. Francis river emr)t.ies into the Mis sissilpi a short distance north of Helena, Ark., and its basin covers a large triangle, whtch includes the entire section of country lying be tweten the Mississippi river and the hill lands known as Crowley's Ridge. Nearly all of this vrat tract is sunhject to overflow, the waters of the Mississippi pouring into it at flood tide and ren-leriig it useless for purposes of cultivation. Arkansas capitalits have taken trp the matter, and have secured. State and Federal aid. They pur chased tax titles to large bodies of land which had been abandoned as valueless by the origiwtal owners, and have also obtained donations of State lands. These traets it is proposed to reclaim by the building of a large levee, exteo;ding from the month of the St. Francis northward to the high lands in S;uthere Mis souri, a distance of te~wly 150 miles. Much of the work is ot a dittlenlt character, and the expenditure will be very great. This will he met by State and country taxes, and if the work is carried into executionl the gains will more than compensate the expenditure. The State has already donated 108,000 acres of land, to he disposed of by the board in further. anrce of its project, and other dona tions will follow of lauds falling in arrears for taxes in the counties covered byv the St. Francis levee district. In addition, a tax is levied nlon the lanids reclainmed. The board has olt,ened a permtn. inrrt 'tfice at West Memphis. Its ',tficers are Col. IH. P. It.lgers, of Marianuna, presileut; Hon. Hugh M:-Vetgh, of ()sceola, secretary. anid :alapt. Ii. N.

The Inational government has made at appropriation of $265,0)0 for thi btmitlinr of a levee southward froum Point Pleasalt. Mo., but thIe wort .vas abandoned. This atplropria tion can doubtless he re.'ived, and the levee made a part of the St. Francis svytem. It is sai4 that nearly 2.000,000 acres of rich, fertlPh land will be thrown npet. to cultiva tion upon the completion of thi levee system.-Appeal-Avalanche.
