The state Debt ana Constitutional Con-
veRff0n.
[Marksville Bulletin.l


The opponents of a constitutional cOnven-
tion in their anxiety to defeat this popular
measure are now agitating two questions
that are not german to the issue. The first
is that should the convention be held the pub
lie debt would be repudated. This assertion
would imply that they consider others less
honorable than themselves, a rule that in
variably operates to the disadvantage of those
that are thus self-cOngeited If it will do these
pE. persons ,,. any good to disclalm any
claim now and all the time. Though the ad-
vocates of q constitutional convention have
never prospered and fattened by investment
in questionable claims, still they will insist
that the State debt shall be paid to the last
dollar. Not responsible for the creation Of
this large debt, they nevertheless acknOwl-
edge the binding force that all such obliga-
tiOns carry with them. Having accepted at o
compromise the law scaling the debt, the
solemn compact will be faithfully observed
and fulfilled
The next objection, and upon which great
deal of force is spent is the apprehension that
the desire exists to rid ourselves Of the
present State administration by means of a
general election. When and where has this
subject been agitated that Is now lugged in
and made to form so important q factor In
the opposition to convention? The men who
favor o. constitutional convention occupy q
higher plane and are governed by nober Inn
pulses than these They are only and simply
attempting to redeem the pledges SO fire.
quently and SO solemnly made to the
people for the past ten years. Never
once have they intimated or expressed de-
sire to repudiate the public debt or in any
way abridge the term of office of the present
administration. They are occupied to better
purpose, busy themselves to accomplish more
lasting result Its, and to their credit be it said,
they have always announced their object to
be the complete regeneration Of the State of
Louisiana They strive to wipe away that
damnable instrument which has been q blight
Ing curse to the peopIe-infiicted by bayonet
rlile-and which in these days of Democratic
triumph is SO persistently upheld by por-
tiUn OF our own people.

Let our members Of Congress ask for no
general levee bill; the scheme is too gigantic;
fifty millions is too much to begin with it
frightens Representatives. Ask for specific
appropriation to build certain breaks and re-
pair designated levees. Don't go beyond this
Let your Representatives go to the rooms Of
their fellow members, cultivate good social re-
lations, talk the matter over, and our word for
il they will get what they ask for. Thomas
jefferson effected all his legislation in that
way. Colonels Durable and Claiborne worked
ethrough the press. through the chambers of
commerce, in the social circle and through
government officials, and they got almost q
unanimous vote OF Republican Senate in
favor Of levee appropriation. Let the same
effort, and in the same way be made again,
and SUCCESS Is certain

Up to the present we have refrained from
any expression OF our views concerning the
Hdyisability Of removing the State House
from its present to its old site at Baton

the subject but because we considered it use

one to be settled by the desires Of a certain
class, or locality, who have alone in view
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and convenience of
themselves at the expense OF the
