Senator Gallioger, of New Hamp.
shire, in the Porto Rican debate,
made a touching appeal for a tariff
in behalf of the people of lows and
Nebraska, who are trying to raise
beet sugar at a profit But, to the
senator's intense disgust, the lowa
house of representatives, speaking for
the farmers of that state, has unani.
mously declared m favor of free trade
for the island. Such is the response
of the Iowa producers of beet sugar
to the New Hamphire senator's kind

the lesson should do him some good

A Glorious Victory.
The cock crew long and lustily as
the polls closed in this parish last
Tuesday, announcing a grand and
glorious Democratic victory won that
day. The contest had been long and
fierce, every inch of ground having
been fought over, and the enemies of
the grand old Democratic party were
routed horse, foot and dragoons.
The returns were slow coming in
but by midnight Tuesday enough was
known to indicate a democratic vie
tory. Surprise upon surprise was in
store for the Rej:ublicans, and disap
pointment reigned supreme in their
camp. Theboxes from below Iock
port only reached here about Thurs
day noon, and the returns were only
tabulated yesterday by the board of
supervisors of election.

The city of New Orleans gave
Heard 18,051 to 2647 for Caffery
and 950 for Reams.
Heard carried St. Mary parish,
Don Caffery's home parish, by a
majority of from 250 to 300.
The Houma boys carried the ele.
phant in funeral procession last
'ruesday, and buried him out of

Don Cafiery, - Jr., has dug his own

Those night raids of the Republi
can strikers in the third ward of this
parish were not such votegetters as
they were "cracked up" to be. Our
word for it, gentlemen, it is not cal
culated to make a man amiable to

at all hours of the night.
The Republicans of this parish put
their best foot forward in the fight just
ended, and they have suffered iguom
inious defeat. Neither superhuman
efforts nor money could save them.
Dtnunciation of the constitution
and of the election laws and of every
thing Democratic by the Republican
spell binders helped to make Demo

We cannot altogether repress the
malicious piesaure we experience in
recalling a prophecy we made at the
close of the war; namely, that the
engineer would be hoisted by his own
petard, that the abolition of slavery
would result in making the South a
maanufaetunrig as well as an agricul
turali section, and that in less than
half a century ,t would spin and
weave its cotton, when New Eigland
could only profitably be utilized as
goose farms.
That pophecy is being rapidly fu!.
filled. While the raising of geese
has not yet been adopted as the chief
industry of our friends up in that
bleak and barren region, we note
that, at the suggestion of the Depart
meat ot Agriculture, their abandoued
farms are being planted in walnut,
butternut and chesuut trees. Here
are nuts for them to crack.-S-tates
