POLITICS GETTING WARM.
This is going to be a red hot po
litical year, as everything is to be
elected from president of the Uni
ted States down to the district
bailiffs.
Politics is not ‘cutting much ice’
with the people, just yet, but the
politicians are beginning to look
wise and friendly, and some are
even beginning to > < shake
with the common sovereigns,”
to inquire about the health of
uui woman and children. > )
Some of the wise men, who
the party sentinels on the political
ramparts, are also beginning
sniff the political breeze, and scent
the public pulse from far and near,
in order to catch the first
of the simmering pot on the pub
lie questions of the day, in order
determine which way i k the wind
blowing,” and how the great
rents of human thought are
mg.
It seems to be the fear of
of our friends, of the late
persuasion, that the
party, in national convention
sembled, will make the defeat
Chicago platform as the
tal principles of the party in
coming presidential campaign,
especially in making the free
age of silver one of the leading
sues in that great contest.
They refer with much
asm and confidence to what
are pleased to call the ‘‘grand
of Horace Boies, of
Iowa, who is claimed to have
diated the Chicago platform, so
as the free coinage of silver is
cerned, and deserted the
of the democratic party*.
We don’t know whether it
true or not, that Mr. Boies has
pudiated the silver plank in
Chicago platform ; but if he lms, it
is so much the worse for Mr. Boies,
and we are certain the democratic
party can stand his desertion if he
car. We only* know he has utter¬
ed some of the very soundest free
silver truths in the past, and now
the question might be asked vvheth
er these truths will live on, or
whether they will die along with
their author.
But the argument is all prema¬
ture and out of order.
The silver question is yet a very
live one in all pure democratic cir¬
cles, and we have no doubt the
democratic party, when it meets in
national convention, will reaffirm
its allegiance to the free
cause, and that it will be one of the
leading issues in the coming presi¬
dential campaign.
Look at our country to day un
der the single gold standard, and
see how the rich man’s gold do'lai

To the person sending a yearly sub¬

gether with the correct estimate on the

lanuarj*.
$1,000 If estimate Is received during
February.
$500 If estimate Is received during March.
The above are for the exact estimates;
there are besides these six prizes, rang¬
ing along, $600, $4’», $250, $150, $126 and $75.
amounting to $1,600, that will be paid out
sure for the six nearest estimates to
-oe i\ew Orleans ootton receipts at any
time during the three months of the con
test But you hit It exactly during Jan¬
uary and secure the full $l, 5 o 0 prize
check.
The Constitution believes somebody will
hit the figures exactly and expects to
pay out the full amount of the prizes
offered—$3,000 In all. In a Constitution
contest upon the same subject In 1*0$

hit the exact figures and received a
check for $1,000 as his prize, Mr. Poole
did not try to swell himself up at once,
but very generously paid off a mort¬
gage on his father's home place and with
the balance he very wisely educated him¬
self at Trinity college. Durham, N. C. He
is now doing well In business In North

It Is believed that some of the Texas

New Orteans. will be diverted this year
to other points because of the quaran¬

The effort of Bonlclaria to have quaran¬
tine raised by Injunction from United
States courts will not have very soothing
effect upon the direction of cotton ship¬
ments to New Orleans. Tills Is mentioned

for this cause must ' left to each man’s
judgment. • j

shafts deep Into the errors and evils that

New Orleans and the shattering of the
