IE THE GARFIELD PEOPLE are
satisfied with the returns from
Maine the Democrats certainly ought
to be. But if Maine had been a
State that had voted the Democratic
ticket for twenty years, and that party
had expected it to give ten thousand,
and the returns bad come in with a
majority the ether way that had to be
counted in such manner as to give a
false coloring to The vote, we are sure
theDemocrats would feel very doubtful
about the matter, if they did not give
it up entirely.

A NEW CONSTITUTION.

From West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter
Those journals that live by politics
are advocating new Constitution for
Louisiana. That's preaching material
advancement with a Vengeance, - Pm
dictator.
On this point, gentle neighbor, we
take issue with you. From the lights
before us-and they are many-the
reverse is actually the case. The pap
fed journals and Office holders are the
very ones that no Convention, at least,
just at this time, will satisfy. They
feel that it is dangerous experiment
to hold another Convention of the peo-
pie TO change bad laws into good ones
Ito reform abuses into good measures
to satisfy the people ana confound the
wrong. doors. Why? Because offices
may change holders and they be left
out in the cold and because many who
draw largely from the public treasury
now may be compelled to release their
hold. People are not so dull as not to
see and understand the political lodges
of the day. Our last Convention was a
signal failure throughout. We must
try and do better another time. Public
expectation was sorely disappointed
the FIRST time and it may be disappoint-
ed In the second attetnpt, but they will
not hold back for all that. "A third, n
fourth or q dozen attempts will not
deter the people from changing their
organic law. They win persist until
they succeed 1t is in bad taste to
count tho cost in q matter of such vital
interest to the public veal. A resolute
people win not hold back at d question
Of money. Better arguments must be
advanced and proven before they will
relinHuish their just design to please
\ few Office holders who care FOR moth
ing but their own pockets. We shall

NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIPTIONS.

The Claiborne Guardian intimates
vcry strongly that it may be forced to
resort to. the disagreeable measure of
Publishing the names of ali delinquent
subscribers unless they come up and
settle. Many years ago this was done
by at least one paper in this State. 1t /
called it the black list and had an in
verted rule before aud afterit.
a better plan, and one that all news
papers should adopt, is to discontinue
the paper so soon as the time for which
it is paid has expired. No paper can
be successful without the rigid enforce
.ment of this rule. Men who pay
promptly, when called on, at the end
of the year should not object to or be
offended by this rule, and yet they
would be. By the present system at
least % per cent is lost, and even those
who pay rarely send the money to the
Office, but wait to be called upon by
the agent, and this costs the publisher
25 per cent of the remaining 10 per
cent. Here is a clear loss of more than
| half. When Congress passed law re-
quiring publishers to prepay postage it
was Supposed that it would have at
least this good effect-it would force
i them to require advance payment. 1t
was bad enough to,send paper to a
man for three or four years for nothing
but worse to be compelled to pay his

not accomplished, and many news
papers keep up the same old ruinous

A VETERAN TO THE FRONT.
From Marksvil1e Roview.l


"Uncle Harry" of that popular and
excellent paper, the Sugar Planter,
comes out with4h his characteristic vigor
and ability in favor of a new Constitu-
ton. He handles the subject without
gloves and undoubtedly expresses the
opinion of nine tenths of the good and
rejecting Democrats of the State. The
editorial is too long to be inserted in
full in this issue, but we can not re-
frain placing some extracts of same be-
fore our readers. Listen to him for
he is right:
$50 worthless has the new Cbnstitu-
ton shown itself to be, that seven
eighths of the people of the State
would heartily support any measure
looking to the calling of another. no
matter what the cost might be, and
with perfect Indifference as to what the
political complexion of the body
might be, so long as thorough
change for the better could be accom-
plished. The people want Constitu-
ton that means something-that has
subs lance and meaning in it-one that
will give them what they want and
have wanted ever since Radical power
was destroyed in this State. This is
what they expected when the Nichols
government was iuaugurated and this
is what they confidently looked for
when the members of the new Conven-
ton first assembled in New Orleans.
How have their expectations been
realized /? They have been disap-
pointed in everything, not the least of
which was the incapacity of those they
elected to represent them. This fact is
patent to every man, woman and
child in the State. And when they
saw the utter failure of their great ex-
pectations on that particular point,
they further imagined that many oi
its defects might be amiliorated or
changed by the election of a proper
General Assembly. Selections were
made upon that superstition, and how
have the people Jared in conse-
| quence
Sooner or later this Convention
must be held and the sooner we get at
the work the better. New Orleans is
bankrupt now and the State will soon
be in the same condition, if not so al
ready. Something must be speedily
done or the most disastrous couse-
quences will bs the result. The only
salvation lies in State Convention.
Such move would meet with fierce
opposition from patties holding fat
offices and others who expect large
gains from tho troubled financial con.
dition of the State, but there is h limit
to their power and it is easily Nover
