RESOLUTIONS,

Whereas, it is apparent that the
Radical party in the State al, ,touisi-
ana, despairing of success By, fair mcens,
have resolved to pursue the same policy
by which in the past they have been
enabled against the wishes and. voice of
u majority Of tho people, to secure pos
secession ofthegovernment of the State,
and by the aid of Federal baYonata to
retain the possession thus 1audulently
and violently obtained ]; and, .a. -...
Whereas, it is evident that they have
determined at every cost to perpetual
the Returning Board, which has hsrer
tofore done SO much to render turtle QUE
victories at the ballot box and to des-
troy the liberties of the people; there
fore he it tf
Resot,sce', That the Central Executive
Committee of the Democratic and Con-
servative party Of the state Of Lotilsi-
ANA, earnestly urges upon the Demo-
critic and Conservative members OF the
Legislature to exhaust every means In
their power to prevent such an outrage
upon the people OF the State, as the
passage of AN election bill, containing
any provision establishing Ret0fninK
Board with: unlimited power, :or with
any power which will enable them to
defeat the will of the people rs express
ell ut the ballot box.

RELIEVE THE TAx.pAYER.

Among INC MOSC lnlpOrt2nt anu
advantageous measures which have
been offered to the consideration of
the Legislature this session are those
bills having for their object the relief of
the taxpayers of the city and State. 1t
is Il well known fact that for several
years past property has deprecated in
Louisiana to almost ruinous extent, and
that property owners have not only
failed to realize anything from their
real estate, but have lost much of
the wealth they acquired previously
or from other sources. To their lot 1t
falls to pay the principal amount of the
money required to keep thegovernment
on foot, and they have had to sustain
the great burden of the theivery and
corruption for wich the officials OF our
state have been notorious for several
years past. Now that the Legislature
is largely composed Of men who were
sent there to effect the best and spee1iest
reforms possible, the Taxpayers have
right to IL large share of their attention.
IT Is II matter Of no surprise TINT such
IL large number of our property holders
have been behind in the payment of
their taxes; they could not help being 80
| with the high valuation placed upon
| their property, and the excessive taxa.
| ton they were called upon to pay when
| the property did not, nor will not now,
yield an income large enough to enable
them to do SO and live; this. being the
| case, when can they be expected to
pay the tax with the addition OF i'm
mcnse costs and penalties. 1t is doubt
| less proper as IL rule to provide some
punishment for dclinquents, but when
people are delinquents only because
they arc really compelled to be such,
Of what use can it DC to increase the
very burdens their inability to carry
which has subjected them to the laws
displcaSurc. There are very many of
our taxpayers who are willing TO set
tie their back taxes, but are not able to
pay the interest, cost and penalties
which have accrued since tho levy of
the tax. What does it avail to seize
and sell the property? 1t rarely, II
ever brings more that one-fialf OF the
Judgment, and is il not better then for
the government to abandon the execu-
ton of II law the result of which must be
unfortunate for it and distrCsssfuI to the
victim, and take whatthe taxpayer
offers, the principal, canceilng all in
tercsts and costs. it Is useless to saw
that the property Of the State must pay
the expenses of government, whatever
they amount to. The reverse is the
true theory the government must be
conducted so as to cost only what can
be- realized from the property without
unrc,sonably distressing the owners.
The passage Of those measures which
have for their object the relief OF the
tax payers will not only secure large
sum of money for the treasury but will
inspire new hope and vigor into the
property holders, and give them some
encouragement to improve their lands;
by doing which they will give an en-
which is SO tardy in visiting Louisiana
Let our Legislators lift the burdens from
the shoulders of the real friends of the
State, and give them the opportunity
and the power to labor.

The January number of Professor Whita-

ance. It is a curious medley of literary
effort. care We Q Nation" is political
sketch worthy of an old fogy tory of hun
dred years ago, Disguised with tho radical
sentiments of continental bill of rights.
Mr.. Pltkin contributes two articles, 'The
Fat Man by Lean Man." and "The Lean
Man by Fat Man." which are worthy Of
Ella. Judge Dibble writes Q pleasant
article, .They Also Serve Who Only Stand
and Wait" Saith the Holy Book, "a word
fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pic
lures of silver" The golden apple in this
silver picture is poetical gem from the pen
of George w. Cable-"The Morning Glory"
Espy Williams contributes q dramatic
poem, "Lorio, the Captive which is not
destitute OF merit, both poetic and drama
tic. Major William l. Poole contributes a
well written essay on 1.-THE Late War and
Reconstruction" which as valedictory, is
somewhat in keeping with the leading arti-
Gle. The prose articles are interspersed
with shy coquettings with the muse, and =
puff of Mayor Leeds message to the City
Council is ''snaked in" among tho book
notices. Take it tor all in all. the "month-
ly" is literary arabesque well worth an
examination.

An Old Doll.
The Newport Ne,cs has this account OF
ond nnfah1o doll.

The Newport Ne,cs has this account OF q
venerable and notable doll:
Among the relics contributed BY New
port to the centennial fair, which the ladies
Of Providence are carrying on, is a doll be-
lieved to be tho oldest in the country. 1t is
of wax, about ten inches high, and has
grown yellow with age until it looks fright
fully like corpse. It boasts the following
history: 1t was imported from Paris as
bought in Philadelphia by Hon. Benjamin
Bourne, of Bristol, who was member Of
Congress from 1890 to 1896. The doll was
given to bis niece, Miss Lille E. Turner,
daughter of DR.. Peter Turner, a surgeon in
the revolutionary army. Miss Lille was
born in 1892. The dolls eyes still move,
and it still wears the fnery in which it
crossed the ocean to show the ambitious
danes Of The young republic how their
Partisan sisters dressed.

Mr.. E. B. D. Julio, the distinguished
artist in whom New Orleans has already
come to take just pride, whose return to
the city was mentioned in the REPUBLICAN
some weeks ago, has finally received his art
treasures through the Customhouse, opened
his studio and arranged his easel at No. 90
Carondelet street, and is ready to receive
his friends. 1t is needless to recapitulate
the works which have made Mr.. Julio
famous in former times. The REPUBLICAN
has frequently called attention to them.
Some two years ago he visited Europe and
remained for long time under the tutelage
of Bonnet, one of the best of modern mas
ters. Mr.. Julio brought home with him
score or 80 of pictures painted while abroad
and a large number Of studies for future
nee, The collection embraces several
sketches from the suburbs of Paris, land
scape views in Normandy and fancy
sketches which indicate poetic thought
and ready pencil. One will be well repaid
by visit to his studio, and Julio has
hearty welcome for all. He is already en-
gagged on a large work, representing the
sugar grinding season on Louisiana planta-
tiOn.
