Ss The Gathering of the Buzzards, Under the above captain the New Orleans States gives a graphic ac- crunt of the return to the Louisiana to participate in the State election, which takes place in April, of a num- ber of the former carpet-baggers who as camp followers, speculators, sutlers, spies, et id somne genus, accompanied by Federal armies into Louisiana toward the close of the war, and who, after the war, attruct- ed qy the wonderful fertility of the soil, the healing balminess and ca-} ressing airs of the climate, and, above all, by the boundless oppor tunities to acquire power and peif) by reason of the manacled condition in a political way of the white peo ple in the early days of reconstruc. tion—being disfranchised and made aliens in their own land—remained as the political organizers and lead- ers are of the negroes until trouble came, whereupon they folded their tents, and, having stolen everything else they could lay their hands on silently stole away. Ex-United States Senator Kellogg ex-Governor Warmoth, and a host of lesser lights, have made a feint at contesting the elections in Louisiana almost every year since the White League drove them from power, in 1876, but with no hope or serious attempt at success, and the Repub- lican organization has in reality been maintained simply and solely in or- der to control the Federal patrenage in the State when a Repeblican President occupied the White House. But this year the situation ap- pears much more promising by reas- on of the bolt of a number of the rich sugar planters last year, and the probability of a fusion between their forces and the Populists with the regular Republicans, who are chiefly negros, save the small sprink- ling of carpet-baggers, already de- scribed. These various and incon- gruous elements have held their separate conventions, or are about to hold them, and go far each patiy has put with « string to it in the shape of a campaign cemmittee which is authorized to pull down the whole ticket, or any part of it, in the event of a fusion with the other parties. The carpet-baggers, like Kellogg, who has lived in luxury in Washing ten, D. C., between campaigns, and who only returns to Louisiana a few weeks before an election in erder to be at the funeral, as it were, of his party, have found to their dismay this year that their oceupations are gone, and their places as a sort of political Moses to their colored brethern usurpsed by the lordly sugar planters, who tnow rule the Republican roost in Louisiana. They are now and henceforth the discard- ed teols of their colored associates orphaned, not twin, relies of barbar ism, the outworn types of an era forever gone by, never more to be the bought, but not-te stay-bought delegates to the Republican Nation. al conventions, and neyer again to sit in luxurious idleness in the leath- er padded seats of Federal office. holding in Louisiana. Still, they are gathered there, as the States describes, coming like their prototypes. “First a spect, thena pinion, Until theairis black with vultures,” And, at they will soon be things of the past, the like of which it is to be heped this‘>untry will never see again. *' just as well for the | eurious studentjof humanity to read a last description of these war-spawn- ed adventurers. The States says: Whenever there is a State election approaching in Louisiana the old time carpet-bag, scalawag and nig- ger buzzards hover in our skies and gather on our back fences, in our alleys and musty old halls. They | come from Washington, from South America, from New York and dozen of other localities to which their starvatioa through Demoeratic ruie has driven them. It is said the buz- zard has no sense of smell, but that | he has an eye keener than that of an eagle, and can see the carrion or the | dead or dying beast from an im- | mense distance. Itis well that he | has no sense of smell; that is a wise | provision of a benevolent Creator. | If the buzzard could smell he would | no longer bea scavenger, and his | use in the economy of nature would be nil. The carpet bag, scalawag buzzard, on the ccntrary, bas both a keen eye and well developed sense of smell, and when his eagle eye dis- covers the coming of a political cam- paign in Louisiana his olfactories are quickened and delighted by the odor of the nigger, and hence comes in his flight from every section of the country, in the dim hopes of a ; renewal of the feast of plunder and rascality he flourished on from 1868 to 1878. The buzzards are here now in all their force, and are quite jubi- lant. They realize that they have never in many years before had so fine an opportunity to gorge them selves as they have now. No doubt they are rejoicing over the prospect of negroes in the State house, in tke country court houses and in the of- fice cof bonds and taxes. Even a company of eagles thet erstwhile were their most relentless enemies have put their ornithological hand kerchief to their noses and are act- ually flocking with them. But alas for the buzzards, their day is ended, and ended forever. The white-winged spirit of Democ- racy and white supremacy is invinci ble and though the old time carpet- bag buzzard and the old time scala- wag cormorant be joined by the new time bounty grabber the whole Hock must “git up and git.” The white Democracy of Louisiana is going to rule the State, and, neither buzzard, nor cormorant, nor bounty grabber can prevail against it.—Kansas City Times. Never Yet Failed. St. Leuis Republic. Democrats have in the recent his- tory of their party perfect illustra- tion of how victory is wrung frem defeat by that systematic and tireless orgaization whieh touehes the pride and loyalty of each voter. When the Greeley campaign of 1872 had closed in gloom, the dem ocratie party was rated by political wiseacres as a prostrate and demor- alized institution. Within two years it had a majority in the house of representatives and within four years it had elected a candidate to the presidency. John Bigelow’s last chapters on the carreer of Samuel J. Tilden have expounded to the general readers what practical politieians have known for many years—that New York was rescued and the party re- vived nationally through the unpre cedented closeness of orgamization effected by Tiden. His plan was | the direct appeal to the voter. His primary article of faitn was govern. ment by the masses of the people ' i | x land he carried the same principles | i into party government. He under- | itook to make every voter feel the | obligation of party membership. | The state committee of New York! and the voters were brought direetly | into contact. The committee was | not allowed to hold its self aloof) and conduct party affairs in exclusive | jcouncils. The voters were not per- | | mitted to charge the state committee | or minor committees with respoasi-| |bility for success or failure. To: | every lan this message went: | “You are the democratic party as far as your vote is vate is concerned. It is you who pronounces for vitory |or defeat. You give the orders, you \are thearbiter. Doctrine originates jim your brain. Candidates are of your creation. If they are not elect- ed it is your lapse of duty. If they are elected the victory is yours. You cannot quarrel with any leader over failures and need not attribute suc. cess to any power except the votes of yourself and other democrats.” Tilden’s organization produced less disconnected taly and more co- Operative party energy than any state organization before or since. It was democracy in practice. The citizenship oj voter, the dignity of the man, was made the engine of party movement. So far, happily, this is a tendency —perfectly apparreat but not suc- cessful in blotting out pride of citi- zenssip Party devation still exists among the masses. The faith of a great Amesican majority is demo- cratic. Go straight to the people annd tell them man by man that leaders are no more than incidentss neither clothed in glory of victory nor chargeable with responsibility of defeat. Appeal not in the name of leaders or isms or factions, but in the name of the demoerrtic party and its cardinal principle of popular sover ignity. In 1872 the party was far more weakened and doubtful of itself than now. Ghe democratic organization that renewed zeal and rallied forees then will accomplish results more quickly now. It is not an experi- ment but a tried and certain restor- ative. The Armenian Resolutions. Washington, D. C, Jan. 29.—A member of the Cabinet, when asked what he thought President Cleveland would do with the Armenian resolu- tions, said: “I have not heard the question discussed, but I am inclined to think the President will send them to the European powers through the State department, as to do otherwise would be an affront to Congress. Russia or great Britain may be glad to know that we depre- cate the Armenian massacres, but in my opinion it will notinflueace their future action in the slightest ” A leading member of the foreign affairs committee says: “I don’t think the resolutions will have any effect whatever. The Porte cares nothing | for resolutions. He can beatus and the rest of the world at any time with paper diplomacy. The Turk is, a good deal like our Jndians were} twenty-five years ago. The only are} gument they understand is bullets, | with soldiers who kuow how to use them. If we send a fleet to Con- stantinople tbe Turk can understand that. If we go in with Russia or England to put a stop to the massa- cres they will know what that means, but so long as we confine ourselves te reselutions and think we have done our duty whem we send memo- rials, the Porte quietly laughs at us, and the massacres go on.” Springfield Leader-Democrat.— Gov.

CARBOLIC ACID CURES CANCER. Strong Solution Injected and Cancer- ous Growth Eaten Away. Tokio, Japan, Jan. 2.—(By tele- graph from New York, January 30.) —The widely discussed discovery of @ positive and almost immediate cure for cancer and every variety of can- cerous growth is an issue causing unbounded interest in scientific cir- cles here at present. The discoverer, Dr Yoshimatsu, is a native physician, and his experi- ments at the Oiso Hospital have been carried out under the direct supervision of the Imperial Govern. ment. Arrangements havs been complet ed with an American prominently conrected with the higher educa- tional movement of Japan to go to 2 the U.S three montha in advance of Dr. Yoshimatsu and arrange for the opening of a hospital in the United States for the treatment of cancer, to be ealled the Yoshimatsu Hos- pital. The Japanese Gevernment has used every effort to prevent a pre- mature announcement until the effi- cieney ef the remedy can be estab- lished. The correspondent, after much difficulty has succeeded in ascertaining the following facts. The remedy eonsists in frequent injections ef a powerful solution of earbolic acid directly in the cancer- ous growth. The moat salient point in the treatment lies in Dr. Yoshi matsu’s successful employment of a carbolic acid solution so strong that under ordinary circumstances it would menace life, and at least de- strey the healthy as well as the dis eased tissues. j and therefore a stanch friend o silver. j For this reason the Leader- | ,others in Missouri, hopes thet he |will be chosen a delegate at large from Missouri, to the national eon- | Vention. He is the man above all, | others in the state to be spokesman | for Missouri. What's the Use ot Talking | About coldsand coughs in the <sum Gees time.

No citizen of the United States could be benefited by the banishment of silver, its de- gradation and destruction, unless he was the owner and holder of ideal money, which he desired to invest in cheap labor, in property at half its value, or to loan at usurious rates of interest. In conclusion he declared that the Democratic party grappled with every question which affected the present welfare of the people. BNot only the democratic state convention for the nomination of candidates for positions on the state ticket, but all other conventions for district and county purposes should be deferred this year until August or September. The issues upon which the contest will be fought ere changing almost daily, save that of the currency question, and that while an overshadowing one will be fought to a finish on lines now laid out, but other questions also of great importance, which will be fac- tors in the contest, will be more clearly defived as time goes by. The republicans are in control of the House of Representatives and bold the senate by 2 safe plurality. Time should be given fer them to clearly outline their policy before making state, district and county nomina- tions. Then above ail, the eampaign should be short, sharp and decisive, and not extended over half the year. —Warrensburg Journal-Democrat. supplied with the most cate scientific inst the j tne approaching cott’s Emulsionof C 1 its iod | a pecul 18 i pa T and $1.00 sizes.
