From all we can learn regular passen-per trains will begin running in aboutten days more. This will be a desirablechsbge from the mixed trains, which arenot only slow but annoying to passen-gers in the long stops made at stations,to switch off and on freight cars, there-by increasing the tedium and monotonyoif travel.

Yellow fever is epidemic in LowerCalifornia.

Small-pox of a fatal type is epidemicin several places in Canada.

Cholera is somewhat abating in Eu-rope, but the death rate is still large forthe number of cases reported.

France lost 15,000 men and 63,000,-000 in the Tonquin affair. China lost100,000 men and 38,000,000.

There is a sort of revolution going onin Peru. A body of government troopswere defeated by the rebels on the 13th.

Spain is still growling at Germany,but diplomacy is trying to settle theownership of the Caroline Islands, aboutwhich the two countries are disputing.

Buffalo is to have a crematorium. TheCrematory Society of that city has bar-gained with a Milan inventor, who is tohave the furnace ready about Nov. i.

It is less than thirty years since anocean cable was successfully laid, andnow there are one hundred and tenthousand miles of submarine cable inthe.world. Governments own twelvethousand miles, and private companiesover ninety-eight, thousand miles, val-ued at one hundred and fifty milliondollars.-N. Y. Tribune.

Prof. Johnson and Enderle, of the U.S. Geological Survey, who are at pres-ent investigating the mineral resourcesof North Louisiana, report the discovery

of iron ore in great abundance in thenorthern portion of Webster parish.These gentlemen express themselves as

greatly surprised at the immense quan-tities awl superior quality of the orefound.

THE COTTON CROP.-From telegramsto our New Orleans exchanges, we findthat the reports of the condition of thecotton crop, throughout Louisiana andmost of the other States, are no more

encouraging than in our own parish.The rains, it seems, have been general,and the yield will be reduced nearly, if

not quite, to one half of a crop, by rust,shedding of forms, And rotting of thebolls. This knocks on the head thegrand estimate made by the knowingones of our commercial centres a monthago, and instead of eight or nine rtil-lions of bales, it is prohabltli that theerop will not aggregate more than fivemillions. 'Still the price of the staple

remains very low-8 to 9 cents perpound-without any prospect of profitto the labor of our planters. Cotto., iscertainly a laborious, hazardous and uln-remunerative crop, and it does seemthat our farmiers will have to alolpt

same other criops that Miill niakl, tIainiindlelpendent ofit it ,as a til.l resi'onree for

Party Discipline.

EXPRESSION OF VIEWS BY SENATOR ECS-

TIS, OF LOUISIANA.

Special to the N. O. Times-Democrat.New York, Sept 14. - The North

American Review will publish to-mor-row the following article from SenatorJ. B. Eustis on the President's policy:

" Complying with your request, I sub-mit, in writing my views upon the ques-tions of party discipline and party obli;gations It is unnecessary to state thatby reason of the attitude of the Presi.dent toward the Democratic party, these

cuestions are exciting a great deal ofdiscussion. Those who differ from himmake no unjust claim when they sim-ply demand that they should be con-sidered as equally desirous of securingto the people an honest and efficientadministration of the affairs of the gov-ernment. They know that in the pastthoroughly Democratic administrationshave admini tered the government with

pre-eminent success, and they view withapprehension this attempted assimila-tion of the twogreat partiesby confusingthe personnel of the office-holding class-es. Although they are stigmatized byithe independent pressas'machine politi-

cians,' and although this sentimentalnonsense may not, as it should, offendthe ears of some holding high positionsin the government, yet they firmly be-lieve that an administration cannot bethoroughly and responsibly Democraticunless the Republicans are turned out

f office and honest Democrats put intheir places, and that this is the civilservice reform for which the Democrat-

c party voted at the last presidentialIlection. * * *

" Whly should the Democratic party)e placed under the tutelage of a coterie)f self-styled reformers, whose disap-

iroval of Democratic methods and Dem-Icratic policies has such a terrorizing in-luence, and whose secret aim is to ruler ruin the Democratic party, with

whose principles they have not the re-notest sympathy ? * * * * *

"This humiliating sutrender to thensolent demands of this political syn-licate is not an edifying spectacle for

ife-long Democrats to contemplate.ten who have fought the greatest poli-ical battles of the age, who have nev-,r wavered in their devotion to themal ty, whose fidelity was stronger when

le hope of success was faintest, ndmivlho by their steadfastness in the faceif expected defeat proved that they had1o selfish aspirations, are asking them-

elves whether this is a just compensa-ion for ithe sacritices they have so will-ugly made to secure Democratic suc-:ess. Although sheir counsels have)een iejected with suspicion and con-

umely, still they are willing to mans-Hst, the same zealous devotion to their

)arty, hoping that this debt to the in-lependent press will be speedily liqui-lated, and that the Democratic partyvill be released from this expensiveliliance, so that it may have its own

irinciples, policies and methods, with-out daily apologizing to any one for itsexistence."

" For this anomalous condition of af-fairs the explanation is given that agreat reform in our political system isbeing Worked out. We are to have apriesthood, a revised testanient, a clear-er faith, and we are to be elevated toan atmosphere where practical politics,party discipline and partisan rewardwill perish by the mere purity of theair. Men who have devoted the bestenergies of their lives, and have laboredmost zealously for the succes of theDemocratic party are to be denouncedas " machine politicians" by the dilet-tante non-partisan press, renderingtheir recognition by a Democratic Presi-.dent. impossible. This is the reasonwhy the Democratic iparty has had toendure so many recent surprises.

"These so-called 'machine politicians'are only considered fit to make nomi-nations and to carry elections, but arenot adjudged worthy to be guests atthis feast of reform, although they maybe personnally honest men and goodDemocrats who would efficiently dis-charge the duties of public office. *

" The Democratic party did not com-plain that Republicans filled the officesunder Republican administrations.Their complaint was grounded on thefact that the Republicans grossly abus-ed their official positiens, and they pro-misedtlie people that Republicans wouldbe turned out of office because they hadoffended as a'class, and that Democratswould be appointed in order to reformthe civil service and to secure the legit-imate rewards of a successful contest.It is an insult to the intelligence of theDemocratic party and a reflection uponits integrity to assume that it does notpossess the moral force to work out anyreform which may be desired by theAmerican people. It is offensive to thepride of that great party to see any oneof its leaders arrogate to himself thefunctions of a political censor and totreat with haughty disdain the true sen-timentf and the just aspirations of themasses of the Democratic party.

"Thpse who wish to indulge in un-pleasant suspicions might believe thatthey discover that this equivocal atti-tude means the creation of a personalparty at the expense of the Democraticparty, for as yet little hag been done tostrengthen the cohesion of the Deme-cratic party. On the contrary, an at-tempt is being made to re-educate us,and to teach us that the virtues of partyobligations, party discipline and partyfealty which our former leaders taughtus to respect as essential to the preser-vation of the party are to be discardedas offenses, becase they are distastefulto the purists and reformers who arenow dictating to us Democrats rules ofgood behavior.

"It is an error to assume 'that thosewho do not accept what they. consideran impracticable and undemocraticmethod of reforming the Civil Service,are opposed tothe orrection of existingabuses. ,They want to study this ques-4lon and to examine this system which,operates to put in oAlce such a smallpercentage of •Democrats under a Re-

ble~a s a~dministration and to keep in

whether this proposed reform will notintroduce into 'onr country an aristo-cilatic inistitution, which is in directcontradiction to the spirit of popular,government, and whether this creationof at permanent and exclusive class ofoffice-holders is not subversive of someof the fundamental features of our formof government.

'It is a grave mistake for any one toassume the leadership of a reformmovement unless there is a concurrenceof the conditions essential to its success.

"But in the case of a leader undertak-ing to lead a party into a battle for re-form one must be ignorant of all theconditions which are necessary for suc-cess if he does not first ascertain wheth-er or not there be a strong united senti-ment in the party, so that lie can ad-vance with unbroken line in his assaultupon the opposition, and he must alsoascertain that the opposition is outsideand not inside of his own party. Other-wise hle will find himself engaged in adifficult and ludicrous task, showinggeneralship without an army, warfought without a struggle.

"Such an unsupported attempt at re-form must inevitably encounter resist-ance and resentment, because it phari-saically implies that this self-constitut-ed leader is purer and wiser than hisparty, and invites the profound philos-ophical criticism of Edmund Burke, that'the system which lays its foundationsin rare and heroic virtues will be sureto have Its superstructure in the basisof profligacy and corruption.'

"Mr. Gladstone is the greatest andmost successiul reformer of the age; hisrefforts were invariably sustained by acombination of favorable conditions.He had fi st a pre-eminent position as aleader; by virtue of his remarkable in-tellectual powers he attacked and up-rooted abuses which were glaring andmorally indefensible. There existed inhis party a united and enthusiastic sen-timent in favor of every reform he pro-posed to accomplish. In his line of at-tack against abuses there was not a sin-gle weak pointof inconsistency or vacil-lation, and his reformatory measureswere in the interest of the peopleagainst the powerful influence of theprivileged classes, and thus equippedhe led his party to victory on everyfield that he selected.

"How many of these essential ele-unut.o of success are, from a party pointof view, aiding this present reformmovement 'n American politics? Notone. It is not surprising, there,&o.;,there should be so much friction and ir-ritation within the •tbnocratic party.The independent press that so eai nestlyadvocate this reform, and applaud whatthey now call the firmness of the Presi-dent, are constantly admonishing thepublic that the Democratic leaders andthe Democratic party are not sincerelyin sympathy with him upon this ques-tion. They zealousld caution him thatthe Democratic party are not manifest-ing a willing submission to his policyand to their dictum, and that there is aperilous independence of judgment inthe Democratic party on.this questionwhich must be dominated and supprless-ed. On the other hand, Democrats de-precate this unearned and b:neful in-fluence of a clique outside of the Demo-cratic party, and refuse to surrendertheir conviction upon matters whichthey consider vitally affect their disci-pline and organization.

"But though the future alone can un-fold tile results of this conflict, it is to behoped that those who believe that theraison d'etre of the Democratic Party isthe preservation of free constitutionalgovernment in this country, will notrealize the apprehensions of evil whichthis unlooked-for policy would seem toforebode, and th'it this transient ques-tion of civil service reform will not beconsidered of more paramount import-anuce than the conservation of the bene-ficent ascendency of the Democraticnartv. J. B. EUrxsT."

There has always been an honest ef-fort on the part of the Democracy toreform the civil service, but not to de-form it in such wise as to put Republi-cans on top when the people have votedto employ Democrats. If Mr. Clevelandfails to perceive this self-evident wishof the electors, we can't help it or ac-count for his blindness.-Elizabeth (N.J.) Herald.
