place to place and lives with bis
family in houses which be does not
own and on lands which he has no
motive to improve. The negro
who makes his subsistence in part
or wholly from his own acres, titled
by himself and family, becomes
thereby all the more useful and re-
spectacle. This indentifies him
with the community in which he
lives, and makes him more inter-
ested in social order and more ODE
dent to law. It increases his
ability to educate his children and
rear them in the habits of industry.
This love of Independence, this
spirit of self-dependence deserves
to be encouraged by liberal home
stead exemptions. Labor done
by negroes on their own lands for
self-support benefits the public and
strengthens the State as much as
if done for hire on lands belonging
to others.

Judging land we think correct)
that the several journals through
the State which advocate a Con-
stitutional Convention truly rep
resents popular sentiment in their
respective parishes we find that
the number of delegates for a new
Constitution, an aggressive canvass
and for redeeming Louisiana. once
and for all time, will number from
the country parishes alone, two
hundred and seventeen, or about
seven-ninths of the whole number,
not including the city. From in.
dications the patriots band, the
Constitutional Convention delega-
ton from New Orleans, will num-
Der fully eighty which would make
the new Constitution delegation
stand, BIZ to 102 for the radical
organic law.
1t is safe to say that the ques-
ton of a new Constitution will be
carried afirmatively by a vote of
three to one. Let us work, those
who have been faithful, to make
the vote as near unanimous as DOS
sible, in order to convince those
unreasoning people who thought
otherwise,th the people do "know
what they want" go at1

About $4,000 people assembled
on the Boston common on July
5th to witness the first exhibition
of q flying machine in the open
air. The aeronaut assembled 1000

railroad train. The belief is that
the machine is capable Of naviga-

a hall, and that heavy current
will carry it away just as it does

PRIMARIES OR CONVENTION ?

Just now the question at the
head of this article is exciting no
little interest in Grant parish, and
both sides of the issue have warm
advocates. The champions of one
claims that it is the only fair way
to make nominations, while those
opposing make the same claim for
their plan. It is utterly impossible
for both to be correct.
As faithful chronicler and COM
menter in matters of interest to
the people of this parish we feel it
a duty to express an opinion on
this subject. In doing no. we will
try to make it perfectly plain that
our convictions are based on good
ground, and have been arrived at
after some consideration.
We hold the convention to be q
fairer way to make nominations in
a parish than by primary election.
In a convention each ward is en-
titled to five delegates, and all the
advantage that any ward may have
over another can only be obtained
by sending the sharpest men into
convention. So that If your ward
is imposed on, it is either because
you select blockheads as delegates
or because they swap off or sell
you out. For this your only re-
course is to pick out better men
next time. In q primary election
the strongest ward holds full sway,
and the only possible way to beat
| it would be for the others to COM
bine against it, which, in the end,
would never be accomplished with
out their holding some sort of con-
vention first in order to insure q
concert of action. For the very
reason, therefore, that they would
hold The balance of power, it will
be found that the strongest wards
have the most persistent advocates
for primary election.
Another bad feature of primary
elections is the opportunity they
afford tricksters to make a respec-
table show, by securing following
through the disreputable means of
a shystering canvass. In a word,
the chances for trickory are three
times as numerous in primaries as
they are in conventions.

ing system will te readily relin-
pushed by the people, nor do we
think that it should be. Only
those who are familiar with the
disadvantages resulting from the
non-residence of the district Judge
under the present system can ap-
preciate the merits of the parish
courts. .
The judges of these courts are
always accessible for the granting
of the thousands interlocutory or
ders that are necessary at almost
any time. There is always in the
parish q judicial officer with au-
thority to grant and pass upon
writs of habeas corpus and to sd-
NIT parties arrested to bail, and il
is from these circumstances that
the parish courts have come to be
regarded with affection by the PEG.
pie and that they have earned the
name of the "poor mans courts.
The only drawback to them is that
their judges are not required 70
be learned in the law and their
limited jurisdiction. The latter
faults is more severely felt in Grim
inal matters. These courts are
entirely without criminal jurisdic-
ton. except by consent Of the &C.
