The strong note of warning is sounded that the onion crop will be short this year. Every politician favors harmony when he is not expecting to get office through agitation. The man who is stack on himself is one who backed his judgment and bet On the wrong man. Politics will have no show until some of the candidates hire torchlights, brass bands, and parade. There must be some very bad whisky in Texas when it makes a young man tab his mother and kill his father.

A handful of men, soreheads, Ocala ites and third partyites, assembled at 'the courthouse last Saturday and resolved that they were the Democrats of Ouachita parish in mass meeting assembled. The whole thing is too absurd to be given serious consideration. IMonroe Telegraph Bulletin.

The re solve these men should resolve is to re solve to vote with the Democrats and endeavor to elect the Democratic ticket. "1 am a Democrat," said Senator D. B. HilL The people waited until he said: "I shall do what lies in my power to elect Urover Cleveland," and then they cheered. "Pine apple juice," says a physician in the St.

New York Mercury: Higgins, an up town street car conductor, was on the night tun last week and he did his sleeping in the day time.

When he woke np from his much needed rest one afternoon his industrious little wife bronsht out for his admiration a lamp shade made of colored tissue caper. She had made it with her own pretty hands, and its scalloped border was perforated with innumerable little holes, through which the light of the parlor lamp would fall on the table Tell ma if yon think it is pretty," de manded Mrs. Higgins, holding the shade out for her husband to inspect it. looks began the man, but as his eyes fell on more closely he turned pale and said in a hoarse voice: "Yon made those holes with my bell punch!" "Yes. dear, wbilo you were asleep.

But what makes you speak that way!" asked the little woman greatly alarmed at the. sadden change that had eome over the unfortunate Higgins. "Oh, nothing," he said, "only ou've run up enough fares on that amp shade to use up a year's salary. Every one of those holes will cost me 5 cents, that's alh" And the unhappy snan groaned. THE FOURTEENTH OP SEPTEMBER.

The will ef the people is the supreme law. It has been said that Divine Providence has furnished no other means of purifying the atmosphere than a cyclone. It rages over land and sea, destroying lives, wrecking buildings and sinking ships, but at the cost of such sacrifices the mists and miasms throughout the vast vault of heaven have been swept away: with every lightning stroke the life giving ozone was generated, decomposing and dis arming the poisonous humors and exudations, sweated and distilled from our ancient and death sodden planet and a purified and invigorating atmosphere is supplied to the myriads of God's creatures which people our earth. Thus it is that a few must perish that the many may live and thrive and do the world's work. When social miasms, political cor ruption and official despotism poison and oppress the body politic, there ap pears to be no other remedy but armed rebellion, a social and political cyclone.

It was such a storm which swept through this city this day eighteen years ago. It would be too long a story were we to undertake to recite in de tail the causes which led up to is. It is enough to say that the disorganization following the civil war, aggravated by long years of misgovernment and official corruption, under the influence of greedy and unscrupulous political ad venturers, had reduced the condition of the people of this city to a state that was in every way unbearable. The measure of politioal iniquity was filled. Then the people arose in their wrath, and with unrestrainable violence and fury they swept away the entire fabric of corruption and oppression.

The people, the creators of all law and government, possess the unquestionable and absolute right to abrogate and annul every statute and every semblance of authority that they have set up. But sometimes they become enslaved to the work of their own bands, to the puppets and dummies that they have set up to emblem atize the people's power, and to rep resent the outward form of the people's sovereignty. It was such an enslavement which the people of New Orleans, on the 14th of September, 1874, overthrew, broke in pieces and trampled under foot in the streets of their city, when they retook with musketry and cannon their rightful authority, and re established in actual force and palpable power the machinery of self government which had been ravished from them by military despotism and political corruption. The days When men have risen in arms to storm the rock battlements and iron doors of tyranny's bastiles are sacred and famous in the history of the world. All the grand lines in the perspective ot the world's annals, all the heroio and coble figures in the mighty pageants of human progress will be found 1 converging on the events which announce some outburst or uprising in behalf of human liberty.

One of these was the uprising of the Fourteenth of September, 1874. when home rule and self gov ernment were reborn in the metropolis of the South. It needed not cairn or tumulus, pyramid or colossus, bronze or marble, to commemorate such deeds, for they themselves are the landmarks of liberty, but nothing can be more appropriate than the granite obelisk set up by the women of New Orleans on the spot where the hottest of the battle raged and where the victory for home rule was won. "Home rule" is the word. Let it arouse the people of Louisiana, of the South, of the entire Union, against the infamous force bill designed as it is to ravish from the people of the States the right of self government, home rule.

But. sneaking for Louisiana, let our people rise united against this dangerous device of the Republican party. Her people will fail of their duty if every Congressman sent from the State is not a Democrat. ASTRONOMICAL MATTERS. Dr.

Edward S. Ilolden, astronomer and director of the Lick Observatory, has got into a controversy with some of the California papers, because, as they claim, he refused to give them information concerning his observations on the planet Mars, but furnished an article for pay to the New York Herald. Dr. Holden has issued a circular, in which he denies that he has since 1888 received any money from any Eastern journal formatter furnished. Information concerning observations of Mars is promised in October.

Prof. Barnard, of the Lick Observatory, which has the famous 86 inch refracting telescope, announces that he has discovered a fifth moon revolving around Jupiter. The four well known moons of Jupiter were discovered by Galileo in 1610, but the fifth has never been seen until now. Saturn has eight satellites known, and may have more yet undiscovered. It is a matter of gratification that the big telescopes are revealing some important celestial secrets.

GERMAN! AFTER SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE. Some time ago the Picayune commented editorially upon the efforts being made by Germany to compete with the United States for the trade of Latin America. The German Government has long looked with jealousy on our efforts to negotiate reciprocity treaties, and not being able to prevent our doing so has determined to imitate us. Treaties have already been secured by oar rival with Colombia and Hayti, and now it is announced that Uruguay has also entered into an arrangement with Germany. QThe Bureau of American Republics has been recently informed officially that a treaty of commerce and navigation has been entered into between the German Empire and the Republio of Uruguay.

In accordance with the terms of this treaty it appears that the citizens and subjects of each country are given all the rights and privileges in the territory of the other that belong to the citizens of that country. Uruguayan vessels and cargoes in German ports, and German vessels and cargoes in Uruguayan ports, receive the most favored nation privileges except in the coastwise trade, which is to be governed exclusively by the respective laws of each country. No higher duties or charges of any kind are to be levied on German articles of commerce imported into Urugaay, or on Uruguayan articles of commerce imported into Germany, than those that are levied respectively on the same articles from the most favored nation, unless they are Brazilian, Paraguayan or Argentine articles imported into Uruguay, which may be granted spe cial favors not extenoea to Uermany except by special agreement, but when nr.h m.n mnint is made the favor is to be granted to her on equal terms. This treaty is to continue in orc timuTMN mm the date, of ratifica tion. It is thus evident that Germany is endeavoring to secure treaties wnn all the countries which have not yet agreed to recioroeity with us, and after that it is likely that an effort will be made to influence even those having treaties now in force with this country.

ORIGIN AND PROGRESS OF CHOLERA. While cholera is a theme of intense general interest people read with attention all that is written on the sub ject, and unfortunately much that is given to the publio on the pestilence is a mass of tedious' details, or a lot of frivolous observations, which have but little practical value. An interesting article in the Philadelphia Medical World contains several matters from which some important generalizations may be gathered. Cholera belongs to India. It has its origin in human filth, in the complex and complicated nneleanliness of a dense population herding together under the continued heats of a tropical sun, and disregarding every law of hygiene and every dictate of personal purity.

Once in every six years the Braminical religion of the Hindoos imposes on them the duty of repairing to the sacred shrine of Hurdwar, on the Upper Ganges, and every twelfth year the devout people mast gather and celebrate gome special feast in pursuance of their religious belief. On these occasions as many as 8,000,000 of people assemble at the sacred place. This enormous aggregation of men, women and children, embracing people of every station in life and every degree of social caste, constitutes a hotbed of international pestilence. For weeks the multitudes remain encamped around the object of so much interest, polluting the liver from which it is necessary to draw their water supply, and in which every individual is enjoined to bathe. The filth created by these millions of people, with their innumerable camels and other beasts of burden, creates conditions of physical vileneBs indescribable, unspeakable.

All this takes place under the burning sun of India, and that some dreadful and deadly, disease should result seems a necessary consequence. It has been established that every twelve years immediately succeeding these vast assemblages of pilgrims at Hurdwar, there is a general outburst of cholera among a swarming population of 800,000,000 of people. Thus it appears that the cholera is the direct offspring of the periodical Braminical pilgrimages of the Hindoo population to Hurdwar, on the Ganges River, while the plague which formerly devastated Asia and Europe had ita beginnings in the vast gatherings of Mahometan pilgrimages to the holy city of Mecca. Of course, the religion of the. people in itself had nothing to do with disease, but it brought together the enormous assemblages, and established the conditions which brought the pestilence into deadly activity.

The first visitation of cholera in America was at Quebec. Canada, April 28, 1832. It was first heard of in Asia, in 1827, and it required five years to reach the western hemisphere. The next appearance of cholera on this side of the Atlantic was in December. 1848, when it reached New York and New Orleans simultaneously.

It started on its travels in 1846, reaching us in two years. The next epidemio of cholera started from Asia in 16G5, and reached us in 1806, breaking out in New York in May of that year. The next visit was in 1873, the pestilence having reached us, after a lapse of five months, the same year it appeared in Asia. With the establishment of swifter methods of transit cholera is able to travel as fast as steam can carry it. At first the time of its progress from Asia to America was five years.

Then the period was shortened to two years, then one year, and finally a few weeks only intervene from its appearance in the Orient and its arrival in the Occident. Not many weeks have elapsed since cholera was reported in the country around the Caspian Sea. To day it is prevailing in a half soore of ships in New York Bay. Fast steamers and through railway trains are its medium of transportation. We quote as follows from the Medical World: Past experience proves conclusively that cleanliness Is of far greater value than lime or sulphur, that a striot, unyielding quarantine 1 worth more than fasting and prayer, ana that para living, temperance In food and total abstinence from strong drink are the best personal safeguards.

All sanitary officer should be disinterested officials of the Government (preferably detail from th regular army and nary) and not prejudiced local authorities of eay conscience, anxious only that disease may not affect their particular city, while they pass it through to other localities. We mast also realise the fact that a sanitary oOioer who prore venal In his negleot of duty Is a more miseaable traitor than he who would betray an army, as he knowingly and corruptly eondemn thouaand of innocent men, women and children to a horrible death and. the country to an almost entire suspension of business for an indefinite length of time. THE GENERAL FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. One effect of the cholera scare has been the upsetting in a measure of the financial calculations made for the present fall season.

Money has recently hardened perceptibly at the Eastern money centers owing to the usual demands from the interior for crop purposes. The influence of this demand is usually speedily offset by the return of such funds to the money centers when the crops came to the seaboard for export. This year the prevalence of the cholera in Europe has greatly checked the demand for our products; hence, while the need for money is as great as ever, the return movement is unusually slack, and unless there is a speedy improvement in the cholera situation in Europe, it is possible that the export demand may drag for some time longer. Another effect of the delay in exports of produce is the continuance of the exports of gold. Until shipments from this country to Europe become free, exports of gold may be expected to conl tinue, but at the same time our imports are likely to be as much affected as our exports, hence there is not much likelihood that the trade balance against us can be greatly increased, so that specie shipments, if they continue, will not prove heavy.

In Europe the financial effects of the plague now prevailing are likely to prove much more serious. Already the leading commercial centers of Northern Europe have suffered considerably in their commerce, Hamburg, particularly, where the cholera is epidemio, having lost more in a money sense than if there had existed a serious financial panic So serious has been the stagnation in thai city that the banks there have seen fit to extend all obligations falling due in September thirty days. Se uneasy has the financial situation become in the great mony centers of Europe that the bare suspicion of the connection of a well known London bank: with an enterprise which failed recently has been sufficient to create a serious ronton the bank, although it is generally known that the establishment is thoroughly solvent. The knowledge of the losses which the cholera has caused in Europe, and the effect upon, oar own trade of the prevalence of the epidemio on the other side of the Atlantic, should serve to redouble the efforts of the leading seaports to prevent the importation of the plague into the country, as its presence would cause financial losses which would be simply incalculable. RETALIATION AGAINST CANADIAN CANAL TOLLS.

A couple of weeks have now elapsed since the proclamation of the President establishing retaliatory tolls upon Canadian commerce passing the Sanlt Ste. Marie Canal went into effect, arad its influence npon the Canadian shipping can already be noted. It appears that when the tolls first went into effect, the Canadian vessels held back to see what action the Canadian Government would take in regard to refunding the amount of tolls exacted by the United States officials. More recently, however, the Canadian vessels have given up the waiting policy, and the number of such vessels passing through the canal is steadily increasing. The question of refunding the tolls paid, and the future course to be pursued in the matter, has been considered by the Canadian Government, but so far nothing definite has been resolved upon.

The whole matter has been a rude shock to our Canadian neighbors and has taught them that their perpetual clamor for reciprocal trade relations must be less selfish. While complaining of the effect of the American tariff on their commerce and petitioning for an arrangement whereby a freer interchange of. commodities might be brought about, they have been extensively discriminating against American commerce by imposing burdensome tolls upon the canals forming part of the route to the St. Lawrence lying within Canadian territory. The retaliatory measure is a warning to our Canadian friends that their requests for reciprocity cannot be even considered as long as their Government permits such a flagrant discrimination against American commerce as the tolls exacted on the Welland Canal implied.

It is rather strange that this country should have on its hands two disputes with Canada, namely, the canal trouble and the Bearing Sea fisheries matter, while the Canadians themselves are seriously agitating the advisability of bringing about not only commercial, but political union with us. NEW YORK SOLID FOR CLEVELAND. Senator D. B. Hill is now in full accord with the National Democratio party on the presidential nomination and will take the field in Brooklyn to open the Cleveland campaign next Monday night.

This insures New York to Cleveland, who will cross the Harlem river, which is the northern boundary of Manhattan Island, with 70,000 majority, while prominent New York Democrats are claiming New York City and Brooklyn by 100,000. Bat 70,000 will be enough to secure his carrying the State, although nobody will object to an additional 25,000 or S0.000. The pacification and settlement of all differences between the Hill and Cleveland interests will make certain Mr. Cleveland's election. Success is as well assured as anything which is not an actually accomplished fact can be.

The Prophet Slandered. A (treat public meeting of Mohammedans has been recently held at Delhi, India, to memorialize the government against a pamphlet lately published in the native lan. guage by the Rev. T. Williams, of the 8.

O. Q. Missionary Society. The pamphlet was originally written for the use of native Christians only, and contains a brief ao count of the life and eharaoter of Mohammed, being In substance a translation of the closing chapters of Sir William Mutr's "Life of the Prophet." Mr. Williams Is not at all tender ot the Prophet.

The famous "Hegira" is described as "running away to Medina." The raids and ambuscades, whioh, in the Prophet' time, were the reoognlzed methods of warfare among the Bemltio tribes, are described by the term "daeity," a most opprobrious expression In India. It Is said that the obnoxious pamphlet ha been already withdrawn from circulation. The Catfisheries of Louisiana. The New York Evening Post says that while catfish are not particularly esteemed in the North, they are pi hue favorites in the West and Southwest. It says that one of the principal Industries of Morgan City and Its neighborhood is the catohing of oat fish for the inland markets, where it Is preferred to redflsh, sheepshead.

or even pom pano. From Morgan City to Mellville, La, there are between 800 and 1000 men engaged In catching catfish. They lire on the water daring the fishing season say six months and out wood In summer. The shippers keep steam tugs. They go up into the lakes and tow down the boats (wells) In which the fish are kept alive until ready to be shipped.

Borne ot these boats will hold 6000 pounds of fish. It Was the Mule's Fault. A Maryland country paper relates that a gentleman of the neighborhood reoently employed dynamite to rid hi field of stumps. Borne ot the dynamite eartridges that remained over were carelessly left in the field, where an old sow discovered them, and, liking their taste, swallowed them. Presently afterward she became too familiar with a mule in the pasture, and he undertook In his characteristic way to assist her away from him.

The owner heard the noise that followed and ran out to see what was the matter. He could find nothing of the sow, but pieces ot the mule remained and a hole In the ground 16 feet deep. The Lion's Cub Growls at the Bear. It Is reported that the Dominion government has cabled a vigorous protest to the imperial government against Bussia's recent aotlon in seising three Canadian sealers in Bearing Sea, and threatens that unless prompt atonement Is made, something wUl happen.
