Fixing Things In Louisiana.
CHICAGO, July 6th.-The Times Washing
ton special says: Senator kellogg to-day re.
ceived a bill from member of the Louisiana
Legislature. It is hard to imagine that the
bill is not a burlesqus, but the fact, however,
that the bill has actually The approval Of the
Bourbon Legislature of Louisiana appears
from reports of that State. The Democrats
are upon the eve of breakup. The Repub-
licans hold two Congressional districts Ger.
tain, and with the aid of the Independents
expect this year to capture two more So
evident is the fact that the Bourbons are 60
ing to lose their hold that they passed the
bill with the evident intent of avoiding the
dire contingency of Republican ascendancy.
II the Governor approves this extraordinary
bill, it is not very clear how single Repub-
lican vote in the State of Louisiana can be
counted hereafter.
The first section of the bill provides that
in all elections for representatives to Con-
gress, the ballots shall be cast at each election
precinct in separate box. The manner of
appointing Supervisors of Elections is very
Interesting.
Section says: Forty days before any
election for representatives to Congress, the
Governor, or in his absence the Lieutenant
Governor shall appoint in each parish Super
visors Of Elections, to consist of three compe-
isn't and suitable men, and who, for good
cause, can be removed in the same manner as
appointed.
This gives the Governor control of the
entire matter, 80 if these Supervisors do not
carry out the provisions of the bill they can
be Immediately displaced by some more sup
plant tools.
Section G provides for the appointment of
Commissioners of Election. This says: Prior
to any Congressional election the Supervisors
of Election shall appoint by writing. under
their hands or the hands of majority
Of them, three persons for each election
precinct, to be Commissioners of Election,
who shall not all be of the same political
party, if suitable persons of different parties
are to be had in the elections district, and if
any person appointed shall fail to attend and
serve, the Commissioners present, if any,
may designate or fill his place, and in case of
failure of those appointed to attend, any
three qualified electors present, when the
polls should be opened, may act as Commits
sioners
1t is pretty certain from that paragraph
that 40 suitable persons of different parties
will be found in the State of Louisiana. I'M
der the present regime, to act as Commission
ers.
After prescribing the routine of the Com
missioners, it says: 1.-The Supervisor of
Elections shall furnish the Commissioners
with list of voters who have right to vote
and 1t shall be the duty of the Commissioners
to check off these voters as they vote"
