The work of the Parish Democratic ConTention is now beiore the people for their consideration. The reult of the primaries ried somewhat frem previous expectations, and there were noma surprises and several disappointments amopf the ward leaders, Tne warieqs factjona of the party aeemed to get atone in. harmony though some of the slates that had been pre-vionsly made op from rumors were Iroken. is about an equal divi Bion of Nichoila and MeEnery representatives for the general pariah officers so that on that score there need be no complaint.

The city ward Jike.tbe other political division of parishes or conntiea seems to naturally evolwe loeal issues, and derelop individual follow, inz as sharply denned and ofteu as Tigorous as those within theboundariea of gUtes. This phase of mnnicioal politics, so difficult of comprehension by the ordinary citiaen who takes only a general yiew of the situation, canBot be eliminated from apy citv convention, and will always detract from the symmetry jt work however well intended. It is impossible at this present time to go oyer the personnel of the nominees of this convention, embracing an they do a complete list of all parochial officials aa well aa the legislative representatives in the legislature of the en-tiro city. There aremanyof these officers that are merely ministerial or of small consequence, BBd do not seriously affect the Datura of the municipal government. Their duties are defined by law, and the citizen has his remedy in case they fail to perform the same.

The thief administrative offieera are ef p'rjme importance. The Mayor, the Administrator of Public Improvementa and the Administrator of Public JJuild-inge are first on the list. The gentleman who has been aa Mayor is av' young man well known over the entire city, one who la energetic and possessed of ability, and he baa had a fair share, of training in public life to fit him for the position to which be aspires. We believe that Mr; Davey is inspired by aa nenorable ambition and will labor zealously to win the esteem and confidence of his fellow-citizens. Mr.

Peter Farrell, who has been selected for the important office of Ad ministrator of Pnblie Improvementa, is von nr man fresh from the ranks of the people, and who baa won recogni tion by hia four years of honorable work in the City Council. He went in to that body aa a reformer and bore his part so well as to earn a reputation for aterling integrity and devotion to duty such aa few young men have achieved In so short a period. We know of bo individual whose election to that posi tion we wonld mora cheerfully indorse. Mr. C.

Taylor Gauche, who worthily won the honor of filling the placo occupied by Pat Mealey in tbe First Ward alter one of the most spirited and closely contested fights ever made in the city against an opponent as popular and aa Tigorous as himself, has been put for ward aa Administrator of Pnblie Buildings. He is fitted in every way to discharge the duties of the position, and will fall voting strength of the party. Mr. Charles J. Theard.

the nominee for District Attorney, though not so widely known as his predecessor, is a young man of fine character and superior ability. He graduated from Spring UUl College, in 1876, and has received the degrees of A. B. and A. from his alma mater.

Returning front college he entered the law office of his father. and after fol lowing one course at the University of Louisiana graduated with honors in and was admitted to the bar. lie was the valedictorian of his class. For the last four years has been in partnership with his father, Paul E. Theard, and hia brother, George II, Theard.

Tbe nomination came to him altogether unsolicited, and he was even taken by surprise when he heard of it. 11 r. Theard is the worthy son of a distinguished sire, talented lawyer, an eloquent speaker and an honorable gentleman. The ether eandidates for important administrative positions will be considered more fully on another ocoasioo. The list of legislators and eonneilmen representing the various wards will also be reviewed at length LIMITATION CP STATE POWIE.

We printed- lately the result of a decision given by a United States District Court in Georgia affirming the constitutionality of a State anti-liquor or prohibition law as far as prohibition is concerned, but wben the law attempted to interfere with interstate commerce by discriminating agaiost the products of one State in favor of those of another that provision was void and of 99 Bffeet. Vow cornea the Supreme Court of the United States and declares that ne State nay lawfully prohibit the intra duction into its territory of merchandise from, another State- The ease 4s briefly aa follows The liquer law of Iowa prthibited any railroad company from carrying liquor in or bringing it into that Stats unless armed with a certificate from the auditor of the county to which the consignment was destined to the effect that tbe consignee baa a lawful right to eel it. The Chicago and Northwestern refused to aoeept 5000 barrels of beer unless tha shipper weuld furnish such certificate. The Utter sued for damages and the oompany pleaded the Iowa statute in defense' 'The Supremo Court declares the statute unconstitutional and holds the company liable. It decided that a State has zjo power to prohibit the importation from another State of liquor or any article of commerce.

That, it tJjs, is an interference with interstate the control of which is vest Ly tha couatUutiou in Congress. TLe natter of commerce between the Ctatea is working to produce extensive liaititiocs to tbe power ef State legislation. The decision declaring unoon-ititutional a Stata tax on commercial, 1raveler3 re Xreri ctj; er states, is another phae ef this important question.

A Dethroned Metropolis, The arest American metropolis with Its vast accumulated wealth and its enormous fort Urn aad aomastto commerce seems so thoroughly entrenched la iu position aa the financial and commercial headquarters of the hemisphere that nothing short of a physical eonvulaioa which weald change tbe character of the continent and its productions can dethrone It. Vevertnejase, without the Intervention ef any cataclysm, and through the operation of causes bow in existence, the Industrial and financial eetivuiea of the continent wil be transferred to other and greater centers of population jRhiM'STew York will ef necessity take Bubo rdco ate place In tbe foreign commerce of rthe nation. This observation will douDtlets he treated with smiles of contempt and derision, bnt ridicule will not go far to Influence and disarm tbe great social forces wploh are already working silently but powerfully to aecompUab the results prognosticated. The settlement and growth ef el rinsed papulation In the New World presents a unique problem, without a precedent In tbe history of the banian race.

When the first European colonies were planted en tbe Ameriesa-eoeeM the peeple had no tempta tion to remove from tbe seashore to the in terlor. Every Interest constrained them to remain In reach of the ships which brought to them tbe eblef necessaries ef life and news from their friends la the fatherlaada. Tbe continent was so vast, covered by track less forests, intersected by great rivers and laity mountain and inhabited by so many savage and usually bos Ola tribes, that to penetrate to any distance from the mar gins of the sea was alike difficult and dangerous. As the country proceeded to de velop in population and industries the fertile lands of the heart ef the continent were occupied and great cities grew up on tbe Internal lakes and rivers. Bat aa la the beginning, all tbe characteristics of a new country were preserved.

Tbe great balk of every article ef eonensaptien, save and ex cept tha raw material, waa obtained from abroad, while tbe native product were mostly seat evereeaa to be manufactured, As a matter of course the Atlantic porta through which communication with Europe was maintained continued to grow In Im portance and to control the bulk of tbe com merce. Tee Importation of foreign products constantly Increased, and America, so far from belog a country with its own commercial and Industrial system thoroughly self-maintained and independent, has continued to remain a commercial appanage, an Indus trial domain tributary and supplementary to Europe. Bat we are just beginning to emerge from this condition of tutelage and dependence. Our country is ticbertbau Europe la every article that Europe can produce, and when ever oar people shall choose to manufacture for themselves they will not need to Import oae cent's worth of anything from tbe eld country- Sooner or later this mast eome to pass, whether tbe most violent of free trade doctrines or tbe most pronounced of protec tion principles shall control the commercial aad Industrial destinies of America, foreign laborers are eomia la such numbers to oar Shores that the day is not far distant when can manufacture la competition with any country, with the cost of transportation against tbe foreigner. Labor-saving machin ery and European immigration vll goon settle this question, aad we may confidently look forward to the time when there will be BO need to Import anything from Europe, wbUe by tbe transfer of wealth from the old countries American finances will no longer hold any Important relation to those of Then tbe Atlantic porta will lose their Importance.

They wlU be merely gateways. In the meantime great centers of population are growing up In tbe heart of the con. tlnsnt contiguous to the food supply, tbe mines and the forests, following the example of all old 00 an tries, where commercial and industrial eperationa are brought down to the laat refinement of economy. Then the nation wilt be self-supporting evsry respect, with no wante to be supplied from without, aav for articles it cannot produce, such aa mast be bsonght from the tropics. Thou tha only foreign trade will be between the north and sooth, with none between the east end week Then the Golf ports and Ban Francisco will control toe foreign business, while railways will gridiron alt Mexico and Central America, following the axis of tbe Isthmus, and pushing their way Into Pouth.

NewYorXwUl then rcdisn tbe scepter of metropolitan control to half a deaea greater and richer cities In tbe Mississippi Vslley. Nevertheless, a nation with a huadred million, perhaps four hundred million of Inhabitants will always find use for every seaport and barber that indents Its coast.

At about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, on jyprtb, between Church and Camp streets, Thomas MeGreevy, residing at No. Ti Beronne street, was shot in the back of the bead by Henri de Ranee, and painfully wounded. At the time et tbe shooting tbe convention bad Just adjourned and the. majority of tbe crowd bad congregated in the Lafayette square and on tue neighboring streets. At lue report of the abots the orowd scattered in all directions, some of whom hod luto the city ball, The police arrested Armand De Ranee and Septiaie Villere and locked them up aa accessories to tbe shooting.

The party doing the shooting was arrested by Joseph Martin, as tbe latter claims, Just aa be was In the act ot firing the aeound Shot. The police were promptly on the scene, and after considerable ditlieuity kept the crowd back and prevented them from assaulting Armand De Kanoe, and conveyed tho pax ilea to the station. When the prisoners were searched Villere and Armand Ie Ranoe were found to be armed wits loaded revolvers, while tbe other De Ranee waa found te be unarmed. On Investigating the matter it seems that the ahootlog waa tbe result ot a previous row between Armand De Rsnce and a man named La Place, better known aa "Dldon." Tse parties bad a quarrel at tbe Pifta ward pell on election aay and were ecparated. Yesterday, wben tue le Ranee bromers were standing in the square.

La Place came elaus; and Armand De Kanoe, It la oialmed, walked up to him and, after some words bad passed between taeui. Do Ranoe slapped Jum iu tbe face. The men clinched wben MeGreevy stepped op and attempted to separate theiu and requested them do5 to fight. Borne party sud-aenly shoved blm aslae. As this was done, Henri De Ranoe drew his pistol and tired at Le Place: the bullet missed him and struck MeGreevy.

Do Ranee waa seised by Martin and da ring the scuffle that ensued some of DeKance's friends took the weapon from bun aad walked away with It. MeGreevy walked to the saloon corner of Poydraa and St. Charles atreete. where his woand was dressed by a pbymolati. after waicta he left for bis borne.
