In remembering the dead the living should not be forgotten. The political dragon gets away with the Saint George in New York. Atlanta is completely jagged, as a re-Bait of the prohibition movement. In times of political excitement it is not necessary to bore the earth for natural gas. A threatening letter to a rich man is a decided relief from the numerous begging letters he receives.

Geronimo preferred being sent to a 'warm climate, where he could live in the winter and keephis wig warm. Oscar Wilde says he can't eat anything when he is going to write poetry. His friends ought to keep him eating. People who are constantly trying to get something for nothiDg occasionally overreach and get nothing for some thing. A club of base ball players at Pasca-goula, call themselves the "Mullet.

Catchers." It is a good name. Mullets go out on the fly. A poem called The Lay of the Lobster," has been published. It seems to be on the right lay. so far as giving lobster information is concerned.

When ainian tries to do right those associated with him are almost sure to rind it out. It is not necessary for him to go to class meeting and tell of it. Miss Maud Howe is one of the few Treat authors who look well at an evening party wearing a Greek dress with an ivy wreath upon her head. She laurel crowns herself. An Elk circulated the report' that Brr TV flnrtis had annlted for the nosi- tion of auctioneer at "The Devil's Auction." He was lined thirty cents for tale bearing, a crime that is entirely new to Elks.

Proud of her Statue of Liberty, though she may be. New York must not forget that she passed around the hat for money to build the foundation, and that Liberty the New York World was secured by subscription. Tennessee will feel better- wbeu that funny twin-brother campaign is over. A fight for right is more to a (State than a one-family a Hair, and great political principles cannot be distinguished by strawberry marks on the left arm. Mme.

Theo'a presentation of Adam and Eve" is reported as one of the Paris season's most conspicuous failures. Mme. Tbeo, however, was not to blame for the failure. Sho played her part well but no Eve could be a success without a good Adam. Macon Telegraph: "Cluverius has two petitions in circulation, one asking pardon, the other the' commutation of his There will be no difficulty about signatures.

The majority of men will sign anything save a temperance pledge or a promissory note." If the Carrollton Railroad Company had been obliged to build their track" or to lower its grade, or to do anything that other street railroads have been obliged to do. it might hare a desire to please the public, become popular, make money and benefit Carrollton. A young preacher has a lecture with the high-sounding title of "Man His Origin and Destiny." He can handle this better when he knows how and why man was made. When he knows these things he will not fear to criticise the Maker on badly made men. Mile.

Ruec, it is said, will write a magazine article on American and French actresses, analyzing and com; paring their methods and work. Being herself an Austrian, and no actress, she can write impartially of American and French actresses. She is a clever woman, all the same. "Liberty or death!" was a rallying cry in times that tried men's souls. Now the convict who works oat on a plantation, under contract, has to be reported dead to gain his liberty.

Nothing definite could be learned of it. and there is probably no truth in the report. Atlanta Capitol, Oct.

23. New Orleans can never sink so low as the Atlanta Capitol; which appears to give rumors in place of news. The chestnut bell must have been in the mind of the poet when he sang "King out the old, ring In the new." At least it gives a better insight into the poet's inner consciousness -Atlanta Constitution. Alas, for the chestnut bell While it rings out the old it can-ot ring in the new. The bell itself baa become the most stupid of all RALLY IS THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The good citizens of New Orleans must not be unmindful of the fact that a square Democratic issue is being made in the Second Congressional District to-day. Ex-Gov. Warmoth has taken the stumn in favor of Mr. Hero, and that fixes the issue as squarely as could be. If in this richest and most intelligent district in this State the solid citizens are to go back upon all the record they have made during the last decade of years, and help this old carpet-bag element with new aids to torn over a new leaf in our -State, then the Picayune is much mistaken in its reading of history.

The best future of the State lies in moving in a new direction, and in pil-lorizing those old enemies, or those connected with them, or associating with them, and sending a solid Democratio delegation to represent us in the National Congress. The reforms in the Democratic ranks in local administration so much desired are not a part of the grand contest for the control of the government at Washington. The issue in the Second District is a square national and pure Democratic one, aud every eonnd Democrat ought to come out and vote for the Democratic nominee, Hon. M. D.

Lagan. LAGAN fcPEESENT DUTY. On the day of decisive contest there ought to be nothing required save to sound the onset aui move forward to the assault. The issue to-day ia the maintaining by the Xatioual Democracy control of the Lower House of Congress. The loss or gain of a single seat in that bod)' is a matter of importance, and the people of the Second Congressional District are in a positiou to be held directly chargeable with such loss or gain.

They can elect Mr. Lagan without a shadow of doubt if they will turn oat and poll the full strength of the Democratic vote; bet any failure to do this may give the election to the lie-publicans. In every other district of the State victory is assured, and, therefore, no anxiety is entertained on their account; but in the Second. there is opposition so active and energetic that only a full Democratic vote can make the desired result certain. Let none be deceived by false confidence; let every vote be polled.

The nation needs a Democratic Congressman from the Second Louisiana District, and the people of this city and State need all the influence they can exert in the National Government. Then let every Democratio voter poll his vote. The man who fails to do his duty may be responsible for the loss of a Democratic vote in Congress. Mr. Lagan is no longer a mere candidate.

He represents a great principle. Go and vote for him and it. T11E ELECT10M TO-DAY. The elections to-day are of local importance in six Southern States and eighteen Northern the remainder merely have to choose Congressmen. It is not the wisest method to set the Congressional election by itself, for it is not so easy to arouse the peoplo and get out a full vote when only Congressmen are to be chosen.

However, about a dozen States pursue this mistaken course, and the consequence is that in these States the Congressmen are selected by a small minority of the electors. The Southern States which elect State tickets, including Governors, are Texas, South Carolina, Tennessee and Delaware. North Carolina and Missouri elect judicial officers, and the latter Kailroad Commissioner aud School Superintendent. The Northern States choosing Governors, are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan. Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Illinois. Indiana, Iowa audOnio elect minor State ollicers, and New York a judge of her highest court. The States which it is not impossible for the Democracy to capture to-day are California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, aud we may, perhaps, venture to add New Hampshire. New Jer-eey and Indiana are Democratic now, and likely to remain so. It is generally agreed that New York w)U be the determining factor in the Presidential election of lStfti that we regret that we are not able to hold out any hope of it to-day.

The election is only for Supreme Judge Court of Appeals and is really not at all significant. The Republican nominee is a laboring man who worked his own way up from the shoemaker's bench to the judiciary, and is held in universal esteem; his success must not be understood to signify anything on the status of the State in general. -On this point the State election of 1S85. remains oar surest guide. We have great hope of Connecticut, which with New York and New Jersey is naturally the seat of a sound Democracy, and is only shaken in the faith by the most desperate efforts of a decaying party.

Nevada may turn out Democratic, if money enough is spent. It is bo rotten that it should not be counted iu any event. Our possibility of California rests on Republican discontent with boss management, which is very bitter. It would be unsafe, however, to venture much on this State. We may perhaps gain a Congressman or two here.

Michigan is acknowledged to be very close, and while we may lose two or three Congressmen, we are quite likely to win the State Government. In Massachusetts we may obtain the State Government, but cannot carry the Legislature, and will not gain a -Senator there. For oar gains of United States Senators we must look to Indiana, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, California, Michigan, and as the barest of possibilities Nebraska and Nevada. If we carry any four of these, we shall have the United States Senate next year. We can scarcely lose Indiana and New Jersey; we must honestly say that we have little more than a fighting chance in the others.

In the House of Representatives we must expect large losses. We are certain to lose in Ohio, Michigan and other Northern States not less than twenty Congressmen; but as we are almost equally certain to gain a few members in the North, say one each in Calif ornia, Nebraska, Minnesota, and a few in the East, the net result will be to leave ns the House by a majority of ten or twelve votes. This' narrow majority will be our best safeguard against hasty legislation, which would endanger our success in 1888. On the whole, therefore, we may look at the work of to-day with satisfaction. HOW HAWAII HURTS US.

We published yesterday information that the largest sugar refinery in the West, located at St. Louis, shut down Saturday niht, and discharged about 125 employees, because of inability to compete with Sandwich Island raw sugar, admitted free of duty under the reciprocity treaty. We have been urging for years the repeal of this treaty, on the ground that it was injurious to us in every sense; but we never thought that its influence would be felt so sensibly as far East as the Mississippi River. The consumers on the Pacific coast have complained bitterly of it, saying that it was the instrument of a conscienceless monopoly, that it able to choke out all opposition, and that it did not reduce the price of sugar on the coast at alL The production has steadily grown up under the fostering inliuence9 of the treaty till the importation from the islands into the United States, which when duty was paid only amounted to less than pounds, amounted during the year ended June 30, 1SS(5, to 191.033,175 pounds, an increase of WM percent, in ten years. This importation is mostly semi refined large grained centrifugals, and there is not a ton of it which is the brown muscovado sugar named in the treaty.

In other words, the treaty is evaded continually. It does not provide for this semi refined article, an article which can enter at once into consumption; it was intended to cover the coarse and unrefined raw product formerly shipped to our coast from the islands. There is no end to the trickery of the millionaire beneficiaries of this ingenious treaty swindle. The government of the islands is merely their creature. The Minister of the islands at Washington is nothing less than their attorney.

They are shre wd enough to keep a lobby at Washington all the year round, and have effectually prevented tne repeal or modification of the treaty thus far. Not contented with the existing which is liable to be overturned whenever the I'resident has had his attention calied to the matter it would be infamous to suppose that his attention could be called to it and he not act they are working hard to have ratified a new treaty, which is no more or less thau a binding engagement on our part not to disturb their reciprocity treaty for seven years. The Treasury of the United States is the loser annually by 15,000,000 remitted duties, which go to swell the fat purses of the millionaires who own the Hawaiian Government, plantations, and laboi for they work with labor which they have imported into theJIawaiian Islands from China, the Canaries, and other places where they could get it cheap unaer iron contracts, which their creature, the autonomous administration of their dominions, relentlessly enforces against the laborers. We have repeatedly stated that the millionaires who are doing this business are merely using the advantages which the treaty threw into their hands, and deserve credit for business sagacity and enterprise, while the whole of the blame for the evil consequences belongs with us. It is our fault that we made the treaty, and our fault that we do not repeal it.

Sir Claus Spreckels and his fellows, first opposing the treaty because it was, as they clearly saw, hostile to California, where they were then refining, when they couid not by their protests stop the treaty from being made, simply removed themselves to Hawaii, bought plantations, put up costly machinery, and put into their own pockets what a shrewd observer of hat period aptly denominated "the biggest little thing in existeuce." The monopoly which has grown out of this perversion of international relationship has now entered our own region, by its engagements with the Pacific roads enabled its product to compete with anything that can be brought against it, and is actually closing the refineries of the valley. Does anyone imagine that they will not put up the prices as Boon as they have crushed out competition That is what they have done on the Pacific coast. The remedy is in our own hands. All we have to do is to abolish that treaty. It can be done by the President by giving a year's notice.

It can be done by a simple resolution of Congress. Either method would be effectual. It is a shame that we should have to submit to a national loss of $5,000,000 a year, for the solo parpose of enabling foreign monopolists to crush out. our own people. GEN.

STRONG SURRENDERS. Gen. Will A. Strong, late Secretary of State and present Secretary of the Louisiana State Senate, presented himself at Baton Rouge yesterday and surrendered for trial in the District Court on a charge of embezzling State funds. There is a State law which requires that the paper used for election ballots shall be of a specific kind, to be furnished by the State and sold to election mauagers or other interested parties.

This paper is placed in the custody of tte Secretary ot State, who deals it out to purchasers, accounting to the Treasurer for the money received after deducting a commission allowed to cover his trouble. Gen. Strong is charged with having, while he was Secretary of State, failed to ccount for moneys received from the sale of this paper. The defalcation, which has existed for several years, amounts to something like S50J0. He has lately been indicted by the Grand Jury of the Baton Rouge District Court, and his somewhat tardy appearance for trial is the result.

He has been admitted to bail in the 6um of 5000. The prosecution of this case can safely be left to the brave and able Attorney General. He realizes that a public office is a public trust, and he will demand that others shall equally recognize the fact. The money of the State is the money of the people, and i hey have a right to know it is disposed of as the law directs. The Attorney General will see to this for them.

Some of our country exchanges have been waiting for a response to the Picayune's charge. They have it new. ALABAMA IRON INDUSTRIES. The gravitation of capital to the coal and iron fields of Alabama, and the development of great manufacturing industries there, have been repeatedly noted in these columns. It is really one of the marvels of the industrial history of the past few years.

The so fat from ceasing) appears to increase in vigor for almost every week new features are bron ght to view. The establishment of the Pratt Iron and Steel Company, with a capital of $11,000,000, to work the ores there, was mentioned some weeks ago. On the heels of this followed the arrange- mentshy the Sloss Furnace Company to manufacture steel by the basio process Invented by Jacob Reese, of Pittsburg, by which it is claimed steel can be made as cheaply as pig iron. The last eveut is the visit, of Mr. Reese himself to Birmingham with a view of establishing other steel converting jprorks and a plant for making Bteel wire on a large 6cale.

The iron manufacturers of the North evidently know a good thing when they see it, and as fast as they can arrange their business to do 60 they are making the iron regions of Alabama an objective point. The development of Birmingham, great as it is, does not by any means constitute all of it. Annis-ton. Sheffield and other iron centres are growing into widespread prominence, while at the same' time their almost boundless resources Lave scarcely yet been touched. Let it be remembered also that this vast industrial development is taRiug place in a territory subsidiary" to New Orleans.

Whatever advantages can accrue from it to this city ought to be seized upon and ntilized at once. New Orleans should be tue chief outlet and entrepot for the Alabama iron and coal region. The raising of quarantine against Biloxi by Mobile aud Montcomery, while it is maintained by New Orleans, complicates matters somewhat. People who wish to run the blockade will be tempted te do so by way of Mobile. It is hoped, however, that the infection which had been allowed to enter that usually healthful watering place has been extinguished, so that all restrictions may be at au early date removed from travel.

The good peoplo of Biloxi have been necessarily subjected to a great deal of annoyance during the past season, but it ought to teach them a lesson they will not soon forget, that the price of unrestricted communication with the rest of the world is the maintenance of proper sanitary conditions for their town and constant vigilance against the introduction of infection from the out-Bide. Biloxi is really a suburb of New Orleans, and the people of this city are almost as much interested in the maintenance of the salubrity of that place as are the liiloxians themselves. Let them remember this. Ogden's Resting Place. The old Metalrlo was filled with visitors yes'rday, and numbers sought out the spot wbere sleeps the hero of September 14tb.

Many brought fresh-cut flowers and tender memorials, which told silently, yet so eloquently, of the affection in which the people held htm while the remembrances placed there by tha families of bis old and cherished friends, Drs. Bruns and Choppi rested lovingly upon the green sod over him. There teemed more than the usual hallowed reeling about the place, for wen and women came and went with softened tread, as though they wonld not mar the beautiful quiet surrounding him. His friends and earn patriots, so we learn, will shortly erect through an appropriate committee some fitting monument, something commemorative or the grand, noble and simple character or the man.

David Kelly, a colored man who died in Pittsburg several days ago. had had a remarkable experience as an African colonizer.

He organized the Llberian Enterprise Society in 1851, which made the pioneer settlement in Liberia. He remained in Africa over wently-seven years, discovering some ilch diamond and iron ore mines, and it was mainly owing to his labors that Liberia he-came a republic. He was repeatedly asked to become President, but would not consent to accept any higher office than Representative or the county or Montserado. He resigned this office after two years and devoted himself wholly to religious' work. A little over three years ago Mr.

Kelly and his wfe returned to America. AMUSEMENTS. An entirely new show by an entirely new company was given at Faranta's Theatre last, night The Harry Le Clair and W.J. Russell troupe appeared In a musical, farcical absurdity called "A Practical Joke." Mr. Harry Le Clair is an Impersonator of female characters, of a refined and high class, and is the best In his line that has been seen In New Orleans for many years, not excepting the Only Leon and others.

His work is neat and artistic and being a wood singer and dancer, and a msgutfioeni dresser, he at once finds favor wl'h his audience. The opportunity for Mr. Le Clair to do his work is the motive of the play. The youag nephew of a rich old farmer has gone to the city and married an actress. He wisbes (O keep this Information from tbe old man fearing he would not like the scheme.

The countryman, however, is invited to town, and tbe practical joke is to have tbe nephew's wife assume several disguises and confuse the old gentleman. Tnen comes the protean part of tbe play, in which Mr. LeClair acts the fashionable wile, an Inh servant girl, a German prima donna, a ypinlsh danseuse, a foolish irl, Chinese Deputy, much as Mrs. Barney Williams and Mrs. W.

J. Florence used to play such parts in the old days, when they were young nd frisky. Mr. W. J.

Russell plays tbe Yankee farmer excellently, and Miss Parker does good aoubrette business. Mr. Ed. Clarence plays the nephew. There is also a bandy negro part played by John Walsh.

All members of the company are good singers and actors, and the troupe made a big hit before a large audience. The Devil's Auction at the St. Charles Charles Theatre had a large audi-nee last night, considering it was tbe evening of All Saiuls' day.
