BE always, in eve Y relation,
The leader in ChI'istian-like work.
On. roses of Sharon resplendent-
With Won may our virtues compare;
With field lilies cleaning transcendent,
OUr soul homage woven in prayer.
Thy mountains that, rolling in spendor,
Reflect the first beams Of the Sun,
Mid oceans that surgingly render
Their gifts which through ages have run.
Oh. shore-lines that bend to the topics,
And praries that reach to the sea-
Thou land. theme OF soul-stirring tropics,
What treasures are laviShed on thee.
Fair IIcathcn lands beneath the Sun.
So like some softly shifting scene,
Where perfumes master every sense.
And glories all unnumbercd run:

Shall we who years and years have toiled
To win these realms from deepest night
OF scnsuous joys and idol blight,
While round our own the serpent coied-
Shall we thus calmly, face to face,
View wrongs beneath our very eyco
To other lands and seas between,
Proclaim the Masters pardoning grace,
And let our own unnurtured die?
Our cities teeming with the wealth.
The spoils of ocean, wefts of air,
Where vice all unrebuked doth glare,
Not prowling forth in secret stealth;
Mere children deeply versed in crime,
Ere life's sweet May hath reached its prime;
And woman fallen, crushed, debased,
The human spark almost erased
From eyes that CLEAN with bestial stare.
Sold, bargained and sold,
Bartered. exchanged for gold:
God to keep the wolf from the door.
Iis spelter offered, not genuine ore,
Gold to pilfer the soul OF its dover
In cities teeming with wealth and power.
On woman. howe'er fallen, debased
In thee a something can be traced
That speaks in spite of dross of earth
The spark divine which gave thee birth.
Thou truest mourner at the Cross,
To weep His death, the Masters loss:
Thy sorrow was grief Profound
\ sadness unrestrained by fears
The heartfelt tribute of thy tears
While man reviled and crowded round.
With taunting gibes, insulting touch
As If could malice ne'cr be stayed.

themselves or that his Official usefulness
can not be guaranteed. We can not see
how a people who made the operation Of
law dependent upon the consent Of those
among whom it is to be employed, can be
regarded anywhere as state of peace

to Mr.. Sheridan that being Gan utter
stranger" they will not pay their taxes to
him. This will be resisted Sat all haz.

nate supervisor of election and theree

singular if Cook county, Illinois, should
announce to the Governor Of that State that
they will not obey the law because they
do not approve either the agents APP
pointed for its execution, or the applica-
ton of the results Here we have a
county in open and declared resistance to
the laws of the State and we know Of no
remedy within the power of the State
government.
We have frequently commented upon
the futility of executive patronage to give
strength to party. We have often said
the influence Of such appointments does
not begin to Offset the responsibility.
Here is an example of the correctness of
this view. We have seen that both par
ties have touched this important mischief
with great caution, but neither will dis
able itself in the campaign by pledge to
remit to the parishes the election of all
municipal officers. The Baton Rouge
convention pledges Itself
To the curtai lment Of the dan yerousy
large patronage OF the chief executive OF
the State.
AS it also does
Especially to the abolition of all unnec-
cessary public officers; to the reduction Of
the fees and salaries of officers to the
standard OF fair remuneration.
We are little incredulous of these pro.
LESSONS, which may mean nothing, after
the utter failure of the late Democratic
House Of Representatives to carry these
reforms into effect when they had it in
their power to do so. 1t will require an
ag-eemen: between the parties to effect
such reform, but in the meantime the
parishes Of Feliciaaa and Red River can
not consider themselves in ODE iience to
the laws Of the land SO long as they fur
nish conditions upon which alone they
will obey them.

DON'T DARE TO Do IT.

The Bulletin seems struck with the fact
that the appeals Of the Democracy to the
colored vote is made to them IN general
terms and through the medium Of news
paper essays. 1t says;
The idea of trying TO convince the j,ldi.
cii,tol OF this GLASS seemed scarcely 70 have
struck the minds OF oar prominent poI.i-
clans,
OF course not. Suppose Mr.. Ogden or
Mr.. McEne-y were seen conversing with
a colored voter on the street or a. the
doorstep; suppose either of these gentle
men should appear at and address COL
ored club; would it not be attended with
an instantaneous loss Of caste and
Of confidence. We have had a nomination
at Baton Rouge. What consideration has
been shown to more than oae.ha.f the
population of the State? Have these peo-
pie been in the counsals OF Democracy?
Have they received the recognition OF the
nomination for any Office? More than
one-half the political persons of the State
ignored and excluded. Ye. the col
ored people are called to vote for
those who will admit no other po-
liticaI qualification in a colored man
save that be may be permitted to cast his
ballot for Democratic candidate. 1t has
secured to US an unequal bargain to fur
nish 1926 electoral votes out of 1S9, and
yet to have no nominations for office 1t
would be still more unequal bargain if
the colored people should furnish all the
votes to elect State ticket, and yet re-
ceive no official or representative recog-
milton. The Democracy do not dare ad-
dress the colored people individually"
as suggested by the Bulletin. They conine
themselves to a platform guarantee that if
colored voters will support the Demo-
cracy, they shall not be touched about it,
but if they vote the other way why-they
can take care of themselves. Whenever
we can see the Democracy confer with The
individual colored voter" we may antici-
pate something like justice and peace, but
so long as they are afraid or ashamed to
be seen talking politics to the individual
negro, we shall anticipate no difference in
TIE present relations between the races.

NEW PARLIAMENTARY LAW,

Hatsell and Jefferson may be as we'll
allowed to go quietly out of print so far
as their authority may be applicable to
the coaduc. of political deliberative
bodies in our State and city. Scarcely a
meeting occurs Of club OF convention
without violent personal alteration is
decided by resort to violence. An Or
ganization may be determined by a
''show Of hands" or quorum broken by
an ARRAY,
Il would be better, perhaps, to reduce
this innovation upon parliamentary law
to soma sort Of system-it it is to con-
tinue. In view of the recent rulings of
the Southern Republicans, the Democracy
Of the ninth ward, with perhaps respect
full application of the same doctrine by
coored club or two, something like the
following code might be adopted with
propriety:
/. Every member of this club Will be
required to appear prepared for debate
with at least SIX rounds of revolver cart
ridges. Members upon leaving, their
calibre will be supplied 10y the doorkseper
from the club stores. Entire equality of
armament having been thus assured, the
presiding officer will be furnished with
one revolver in place Of t0e ordinary
gavel, and will be entitled to another,
which will be laid on the speakers table.
Each vice president will be also pro.
vidad with similar weapons with which
they vii. support the chair il enforcing
the rules OF order
2. member rising to address the chair
will bring the pisto. barrel respectfully
to bear upon the person Of the president
Tee attention Of the presiding officer hav-
ing been thus secured. he will bIandiy
request the member to pocket his pistol
and throw up his hands, whereupor the
vice presidents will bring their weapons
to bear, until tho member shall have COM
piled with the order OF the chair.
3. Upon any question o. competing
right to the coguiticn Of the chair the
president shall say the member from
such a ward or IL case no such local in
dication shall be practical, then the mem
Der. calling him by name, Is entitled to
the drop, on the other member contest
ing the door, whereupon the member thus
recognized may proceed to empty his re-
volver into the member contending,
should the latter decline to obey the rul-
ing of the chair
4. Any question having been decided
by interchange OF shots shall stand as the
Judgment of the club; nor shall it be again
considered until a general reIoading on
both and al, sides shall have been effected.
5. A committee shall be appointed
whose duty it shall be to provide the
attendance of surgeons and undertakers.
Arrangements will be made for tle re-
moval of dead and wounded after the de-
cision of every question, and hospital &C.
commodations will be provided upon
proper req uisition made by the officers of
the club

The BATON ROUGE PLATFORM.

Setting aside for the present the hack
reyed and unmeaning professions Of re-
form, and the Arrangement Of the ''usur-
pative and bad government OF Louisiana,
we hasten to commend two Or three prIn-
cipal declarations.
/. The recognition Of the three amend
ments to the constitution, and the
unconditional pledge to protect every
citizen in tie enjoyment of Lis rights
hereunder.
2. The desire and fixed purpose, under
every provocat.on, to have fair and
peaceable election. This sounds like a
voluntary bond to keep the peace, and
will, if observed, be gratifying to all who
love peace.
3. The qualified promise to satisfy the
legal obligations Of the State, is what We
expected after the action of the House Of
Representatives last winter.
These are all good Republican meas
ures, which have but recently been
adopted by the Democracy as a new plan
of salvation for the party.
Everybody here is in favor Of Congress
appropriating aid for the Pacific railroad,
and also pledged to maintain the public
schools The promise to reduce the fees
aud salaries of Office is not sincere, and
no one really expects it TO be thought of
when the Legislature is in session. The
scarcity of suggestions in this document
which are not borrowed from tue Repub-
Ican platform is sufficient t. raise the H.
quiry, whence the necessity for party of
new converts to carry out the life long
measures Of the Republicans: It looks
little like crowding US out of our own
houses to have our opponents, who have
fought US for years on all these principal
measures, come in at the eleventh hour
and set up an original claim to them.
But having no principles Of their own,
the Democrats ara always compelled to
borrow from those who have

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION on TIE Taps

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION On TIE Taps
The Bulletin has faith in its friends
amounting to sublimisy. 1t will not be-
Ieve they could, by any possible chance,
make themselves ridiculous, or assume
anything but dignifed attitude. Aud
to make the matter perfectly sure beyond
peradventure, it intends to ''interrogate
them" as to the quality OF the speeches
they made on the occasion of the nomi-
nation Of Nichols and Witt, and the i'm
pressions they made upon disinterested
auditors. The investigation will no doubt
be very impressive affair, and i the i'm
partial inquisitor finds them guilty, as
charged, we shall expect our neighbor to
give them ALA real good scolding.
In the meantime, We hope the Bulletin
will permit US to file the speeches which
were made in Justification Of tie opinion

of the staunchest friends CT the Union.
No, we did not forget it. None better
than the Pioayune Of that period knows
that General Butler regarded slaves as
contrabands of war, but not as freenen.
The emancipation proclamation Of Mr..
Lincoln was military measure to take
effect on the first Of January, 1868. From
the loyal position of the Pic of that
period it knew the scrupulous forbearance
Of the Federal comnandant Of New Or
leans. No one pleads an ignorance Of the
history OF emancipation. But the REpUR.
LIcAs did not deny the opposition to
emancipation. 1t charges the Southern
Democracy with opposition to the amend.
ment Of the constitution iberating the
slaves, and to the laws passed after the
war extending the rights of citizenship.
We have often seen it asserted in Con-
gross that the opposition to these amend.
ments, which organized the Ku-Klux and
White League, was the cause why the re-
construction acts were passed. There can
be nothing illogical, then, in saying that
emancipation was military measure con-
frmej by the assent Of three-fourths of
the State Legislatures, and inferring it to
be wrong to attempt the null6cation Of
that act by 'gorce ofarms and opposition.
It seems to US sound proposition Of fact,
and a.direct deduction Of consequences. 1t
