Early yesterday morning there
was Il novel scene OH Los Angeles
street. A Chinese lady (?) had
started to cross that thoroughfare.
She wore the wooden shoes which
the race affect even in California.
When she was halfway over she
realized to her horror that she was
"mired down" She had no re-
course for it but to Withdraw first
one foot and then the other from
The shoes and remove her spotless
white stockings. That feat accom-
plished, in her bare feet, with shoes
and stockings under her arms, she
finally managed to scramble
through. A number of gallant
Caucasian gentlemen witnessed the
episode from the wholesale ware
houses aligning Los Angeles street,
but not one of them rushed to her
rescue. Had n dainty Caucasian
belle been in such predicament
how instant and Sir Walter Raleigh
like would have been the proffers
Of assistance.

held next Thursday evening at 1880
o'clock.
The Confidence boys bad a dress
rehearsal at Turn VereIn Hall last
night. Mr.. farley, notwithstand-
ing his long sojourn on the thither
side of Styx, had lost nothing Of
the suavity and originality taat
had characterized him during his
previous public life and the ma
chinery of his ''figgers" worked to

The Laboratory of the System.

The stomach is the laboratory of the
system, in which certain mysterious
processes are constantly going on. These
result in the production OF that wonder
full vivifying agent, the blood, which in
state OF health PUSHES laden with the
elements of vitality 10 the remotest
parts of the system. But when the
stomach is semi-paralyZed by dyspepsia.
blood manufacture is carried on imper-
feetly, the circulation grows thin and
sluggish, and the system suffers in con-
sequence. Moreover, indigestion reacts
upon the liver and bowels, rendering the
first sluggish and the latter constipated:
The brain also suffers by sympathy, and
sick headaches, sleeplessneSs and ner-
vous symptoms are engendered. Hostel.
ter's SIomch Bitters reforms this state OF
things, gives permanent tone and regu-
larity to the stomach and its associate
organs, the bowels and liver, and ensures
complete nourishment and increased
vigor of the system. 1t is the most pop
ular as well as the most efficient anti
dyspeptic and tonic in America,

A WARMING.
1Natchitoches indicator.

[Natchitoches Vindicator.l
We have a warning to give the
Democracy of this State, now that
victory has been again given them.
We found it the hardest work of the
canvass to convince the white Demo-
crat that our party was not responsible
for the gross sins of commission and
omission of the last legislature. The
masses contended, and justly, that they
had been promised reform, a correction
of Radical abuses, and an honest Con-
stitution, and that the legislature had
insultingly deceived them. However,
our people rallied to n man on the
assurance that those pledges should be
kept faithfully and honestly in the
future, and we warn the Democratic
party of this State of this fact, that if
they fail to call a Constitutional Con-
vention for an early day, at the COM
ing session of tho General Assembly,
the fate of the party is sealed.
1t will be beaten in every nook and
corner Of the State, as it deserves to be
beaten. If any parish in this State,
whose voters favor a Constitutional
Convention, have returned Il member
of the last Assembly, who voted then
against a call, under his promise to do
better next time, they have, we fear,
done themselves and the State u great
wrong. The man who, when brought
face to face with an issue, fails aud
fails as signally and as blindly as many
failed in the last Assembly, should
never again be trusted to post of
danger or importance.
We feel fully assured that there will
be no back sliding this time. The
people Of Louisianl have spoken in
| thunder tones for an honest Constitu-
ton, and they will be needed.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
Eshreveport Standard

- - shreveport Standard.l r
In view of the early assemblage of
the Legislature, whose first duty it is
to call q Constitutional Convention, we
are reminded of the expediency of dis
cussing some matters of importance in
connection with the Convention.
The basis of representation for the
numerical strength of the Convention
is fixed by the number of Senators and
Representatives throughout the State.
We see at once, therefore, that the del.
egates composing the same will make
a large body of men, 1873 members In
all. The fact of this being a rather
large and bulky number for delibera.
tive body, and the further fact that
one-half the number could perform the
same work equally as well, has led US
to make the suggestion of a decreased
number of delegates.
Again, when we consider that one
of the principal objections urged against
the calling of Constitutional C0nven-
ton itself, was that it would be the
cause of q great expense to the State,
which could be obviated by voting on
Constitutional Amendments, whose
passage by the people would cure the
defects of the old Constitution and
save that expense, the expediency of a
reduction of the number of delegates
becomes apparent on that score at once.
But whatever determination the Legis-
lature may arrive at, in regard to the
size and character of the Convention,
we think that the Convention itself,
should, in deciding to frame a new
Constitution, make the .proviso that
the recently elected Parish and State
officers hold over until the natural ex-
piration of their various terms. This,
Of course, would not apply to the
judiciary, but the general benefit to the
country In retaining the other officers
elect, can be readily estimated In view
of the excitement, the expense, the
feeling aroused and the general worry
and fuss incidental 10 campaign,
