The Great Question Before the Conven.
ton.
[Pointe Coupee PelIcan.l

lbotnte JOupee Iencanl
The great question which Ia agitating the
public mind throughout the State Is tho State
debt. There Is n large class of our people
who believe that much Of this debt is OF very
doubtful character; indeed, SO doubtful was
the legality OF this debt that portion of II
was bought up at twenty-five cents on the
dollar, aud by some hocus pocus converted
into State bonds, and which bonds were after
wards funded. and now form d part Of the
State debt, the interest of which we are at
present not able to meet.
We speak knowingly when we state, that II
on investigation this state of facts turns out
to be true, the people will refuse to recognize
1t. The people are to meet In their sovereign
capacity shortly In convention, and he will be
a bold delegate who will venture to vote q tax
to pay any debt created In fraud.
The fact Ia patent, and we need not attempt
to conceal the truth to the world. the people
of Louisiana demand reduction i'm taxes. no
matter what the consequences may be- nor
will they permit any increase In the ASSESS
ment of property. In addition to this, the
people demand that salaries shall be cut
down. many useless Offices abolished. and the
whole machinery of State, city and parish
governments administered In the most
economical manner.
After providing in plain republican man
ner for the administration Of our State
affairs, then we have to provide for public
education. The education of our children Is
Indispensable, or they will not be qualified to
assume the responsibilities that will devolve
upon them when this generation shall pass
away.
Having provided for Free universal educa-
ton, we have to furnish the means to main
tain In all its usefulness the great Charity
Hospital, which il an asylum for the sick, the
poor and the destitute.
Provision must be made for the Insane
Aavlum and Tor the deaf, the dumb and the
blind. These noble charitable institutions,
which do honor to the State and honor to the
age In which we live, must continue to shell
tor and care for those of the human family
whom God, In His infinite wisdom, has seen
proper to alllict. In addition to all this our
numerous orphan homes must continue TO be
the recipients OF the State bounty.
After they have been provided for, then sec
ond to these come the honest obligations In
the shape of State debts. But the man who
believes that the bondhoders have a higher
claim than the great interests we nave
spoken OF Is narrow-minded in his statesman
ship and mistakes the code of morals bv
which the people intend to guide their &c
