debt, even though 1t was tainted
with illegality, we might be willing
to pay the whole without any seal

this large expenditure of the peo

and all those public works which en-

emigration, and give an appearance

THERE is no denying that, as a rule,
the Editor is expected to do more
for nothing, to give more for the
money, TO expect less thanks, or
even acknowledgment for favors
done, than the lawyer, doctor,

planter. In order that this should
not hold good with the LOUISIANA
DEMOCRAT, we invite our much es-
teemed delinquents to call at our

ready we see springing into existence
an idea that the Constitution is not
to be submitted to the people for
their ratification. Already do we
see disposition to infringe on the
rights of people to elect their Jud-
ges who are to decide on the rights
and obligations of the people and
State. Now, we do not charge that
the bondhoiders have Influenced the
expression Of opinion Of many of
the delegates on these questions, but
there seems to be an effort to con-
centrate power in the hands of the
Executive TO appoint the Judiciary
We all know that Congress had to
remodel the judiciary Of the United
States, and give the President power
to appoint additional Judges in order
to maintain the constitutionality OF
the act making greenbacks legal
tender for all debts. BY the concen
tration of power in the hands OF an
Executive that is friendly to or in
terested in the career Of the Bond.
holders, we may witness, in the fu-
ture, a decided preference of our Ju-
dietary to the monied interest, and
subservient, in a great respect, to
the appointing power. Take no
rights from the people that they now
exercise. 1t may be urged that, in
some sections of the State, the Dem
ocrats will be unable to elect, but we
have less to fear from this than the
concentration of dangerous power
in the hands of the Executive. Give
US first Democratic Government in
form and in fact, then an economical
one, that will not force US to contri.
butte more than we make, in paying
the interest on fraudulent debt.
The Democratic party is on trial.
While we have high respect for the
honesty, patriotism and fidelity OF
those assembled in convention, we
hope that the high expectations OF
the people for relief will not be a
promise made to the ear and broken
to the hope. Simply limiting taxa
ton to 5 or 6 mills will not come up
to the expectations Of the people.
For they can too readily see through
this, their guaze Of deception, pre-
pared by the Bondholders. Meet the
issue as the people demand that it
should be met. Reduce the debt and
the interest thereon. We will wait
and see, with the hope that the con-
vention has not been called in vain.
