10 REDEEM THEIR
The following article clipped from
the editorial columns of the New Or
leans Picayune of the 24i!i inst , is
such good and timely advice, that we
take particular pleasure in reproduc
ing it ; it speaks for i'self ; let every
Democrat iu Congresss w ho has at
heart the welfare of his country and
of his party, heed the good advice,
and use Id* utmost efforts in bringing
about the desired results :
"Since his veto of tlie silver sei
gniorage bill nothing ha; been heard
from the President nr til his letter of
the 21sf inst. to President Black, of
the Association of National Democrat
ic Clubs.
"In for warding a contribution to the
association's fund, President Cleve
land wrote : "Tim Association of Dem
ocratic Clubs anil every other Demo
cratic agency should labor unceasing
ly and earnestly' to save our party in
this time of its power and responsi
bility from tin* degradation ant! dis
grace of a failure to redeem its pledg
es upon which our fellow countrymen
intrusted us with the control of their
government. All who are charged on
behalf of the democratic party, with
the redemption of these pledges should ■
now be impressively reminded tirat as
we won our way to victory under the
banner of tarifl leforni, so our insist
ance upon that principle is tl e condi
tion of our retention of the people's
trust, and that fealty to party organi- j
zatioii demands the subordination of
individual advantages and wishes ami
the putting aside of petty and ignoble
jealousies and bickerings when party
principles and party integrity anil
party existence are at stake."
"Tiiis is good advice, and it, applies
without exception to the entire demo
cratie organization, from the highest
to the lowest. This is no time for
extreme notions, whether on silver, on
an income tax or free trade, or on any
other detail ol nat ty administration.
What is needed is general concession
from every quarter for the sake of bar
roony and tor the salvation of the par
ty, but more than all for the resusci- .
tation of the commerce and industries
of the country. Concession does not I
mean that all the yielding shall be on
one i
wlrer
heretofore
quires
be brought to the front to devise
measures ot relief from the terrible* m
dustrial and commercial stagnation.
The Democratic party is charged with
the work, and. having undertaken it,
is responsible f„i its acts or its failure
to act. Let the Democrats cease to
quarrel about the purity of their De
mocracy and get together and do
something decisive for the public
good. In an emergency like this, talk
and prntestalions are too worthless to
deseive a inoment's consideration
Democrats in Congress and other high
places <>t the Government will be
judged, not out. of the abundance of
their talk, but by their deeds. They
have so tar done little to commend
them to public favor. Let them do
Something to redeem the pledges of
tbe party made in the Chicago plat
-form."

One of the important measures now

designed to make better citizens of ini

one of those excluded from this coun

that may be adopted. The following,
quoted from the tejiort of the Judicia
ry Committe, will give sums of the
teasons why every citizen should fa
vor this measure :
'•The purpose of this bill is to pre
vent the criminals and paupers of Eu

census shows that 26 pel cent ot the
white prisoners confined in jails and
simple prisons are persons of foreign
birth. Tlie total number of white con
viets in our penitentiaries whose birth

born, showing that more than one half
of all our white convicts are of foreign
birth. Our benevolent institutions
contain 69,962 inmates by the last cen
sus * * • of which the foreign born
compose 24 per cent. The total num
ber of the white inmates of our poor
houses * * * is 53,696, of which
number 27,648, or a little over 51 per
cent, were born in foreign countries.
These statistics show that with a for
eign population of 14 77 per cent,
more than half of our white peuib
ltiary(! ® nrict8 and more than half oi
the white inmates of onr poorhouses,
|are loreigners, and prove that ot the
immigrants coming here during the
past few years, too many of them are
deficient in morals, and are incapable
physically of self-support. * * * For
eign countries not only encourage im
migration * * * of criminals and
paupers but use public money to pav
tln-ir expenses here. This fact seems
to be a sufficient reason why so large
a percentage of immigrants so soon
find themselves in our prisons ami
poorhouses. * * *

"This change strikes at m> nation

id incapables of all nations who ran b>*
only a burden to us, and whose moral
and social influence can do us much
harm."
As will be seen, this Bill discrimi
nates against no race, creed or nation
ality, and while not adding to the ex
cluded classes, does provide- means
for securing a better grade of immi
grants.
This move is in the right direction,
and it is to be hoped that the bill will
pass both Houses of Congress without
any opposition.

Western Union Telegraph line, at
the rate of $100 per mile for poles and

has bien pushed vigorously.
A heavy haii storm occurred in lo
calities in the western and northwest
ern portions of the state on the 16di

enough to amount to anything, how -
ever. A local storm was reported
from Rapides parish on the isrh and
I9tli. Ou the latter date considerable
damage was done in the vicinitv if
Melder, the storm blowing down sev- j
eral buildings in its path and injuring
several persons. Fortunately its nat.i
was not wide and it did not affect !
much territory.
Temperatures have been about 3dr
giees, daily, in excess of the normal. !
over the state except in the nor to east
portion where it w as just about nor

northern part of the state on the 17th |

the 19th and 23rd ; tlie excess in tem
perature proving very beneficial to
growing crops while* although gener
ally beneficial, the rams delayed farm
work to a great extent iu the north
eastern parishes.
Cotton planting has been pushed vi
