Why WILL You Nor REGISTER ?-One OF the OBJ
jects in the passage of the obnoxious jury law to
disgust men with the jury SYSTEM and as they could
not be drawn unless they gstered they would
refuse to register and thus class would be practically
DISTINGUISHED. II is almost incredible though fact
nevertheless, that there selfish ard who have
the interest of the country little at heart as
refuse to register rather than take the chance-one in
five hundred-of being drawn on the jury Such men
play into the hands of the Radicals. They should re-
fleet that if the Democratic party into power the
jury system will be changed that no juror can be
term, as is now the and moreover it will be so
arranged that man can be drawn more than once
in two years.
Merchants may argue that Radical rule exhorbitant
taxation and high protective tariffs, do dot affect them
because they make their profits whether they pay five
or fifty cents yard for cotton goods This is all So
phistry, and if it not shows disregard to the
interests of the planters, their customers. These lat
ter should post themselves in regard those men who
thus repudiate their interests, and govern themselves
accordingly. We, however, know that this class of
merchants very limited in Shreveport, and large
majority of those who do take part in politics are
influenced by the mistaken idea that effort of theirs
accomplish any good in the present condition of
the country. Still, there are few who are so COM
petey wrapped up in self that they would not sacri-
fee penny TO millions to their best friends if
indeed, such men have, to have friends.

AQUERy ?-Where is the necessity for this cum
brous and expensive registration law, since every

years of age, is constuonay entitled to the ballot
with or without registration papers 1t is simply
Radical trick to give employment to sixty seventy

They are free papers but who pays the fiddler at last

of the laws unbiased by prejudice or favor but in the
interest and for the protection of all from the least

is represented BY the National Democratic party. Are
not such issues as these sufficient to rouse the most
laggard and indoent a of the Importance OF
unceasing exertion and constant action? Will the
colored men of the land consent longer to be con-

enumerated? They have deceived you once and they
will again. When have they made you One promise
