When the Legislature does no.
respond to the wishes or wants Of
the people, there is always rem
edy. This is an axiom of repubii-
can institutions. Those who re
member the history of Louisiana in
1894 can verify this assertion BY
illustration.
Under the constitution prior to
that period it was impossible to
get a constitutional convention,
and the people resolved to take
the seose OF the voters Of the State
an cxtemporaneous method, some-
what like that proposed by the Su
gar Bowl, as quoted by the Demo-
crat of Sunday last. I most ear
nestly commend its suggestion.
1t is believed. / assume, that the
last Legislature did not respond to
the wishes Of the people. There
ls almost universal dissa tisfactioa.
The press of the city of New Or
leans agreeupon this matter. Let us,
then. have a convention and the
mode of calling one is easily point
ed out. At the approaching cleo.
ton let the sense of the peop.e be
taken, by a direct vote for or
aga'nst convention simply. and
It = very large majority vote for it.
the next Legislature will provide
tor 1t. This may be taken as
granted.
The election for members of a |
convention should not be mix
ed with other matters. I'll
should clearly express the peoples
desires upon the matters that per-
tain to our fundamental law, and
nothing else. / nominate the fiji.
teenth OF January as the day OF
election.
And since there is jealousy OF |
city influence upon delibe:ative DO.
dies, whether just or unjust, | |
would suggest Baton Rouge as the
proper place to hold the conveL-
ton and 10 prov,oe against any
seeming inauence, let US eject meu
10 the convention that can dismiss
eheir private affairs 70: the period
OF the convention and attend 10
this alone. The leaves of absence,
then, will not destroy the useful
ness OF its members, as in cases
within our memory.
The fixing o. the capital, and
al other matters proper TO be I-
corporated in a constitution, can,
10 this manner. be materially COM
sidered and decided, aud in the
iutuie acquiesced in. Let lis, then.
have a constitution that will last
at least o generation.
