The Louisiana Election.

The Louisiana State election occurs to-
day. There is no doubt that the Demo-
cratic nominees viii be elected by a fair
majority. If, however, the Republican
party were thoroughly organized and
ably led the contest would be very close.
There is great dissatisfaction in the
Democratic ranks, which is pretty GER
tain to show itself at the polls. Gov. Nc
Enery's nomination was Objectionable to
a very large minority Of his party. 1t
was only by the most skillful manage
ment that a bolt from the convention which
nominated the state ticket was prevented.
McEnery at the time Of his
nomination, against all of which he de-
Tended himself with apparent success, but
not to the satisfaction of those who were
opposed to him. The Republican ticket
is the best that party has nominated since
there was a Republican party in the State.
1t is certain to receive a good deal Of sup
port from dissatisfied Democrats. The
sugar planters, probably, will vote the
Democratic State ticket, but it is by no
means certain what they will do at the
Presidential election next fall. They
threaten to support the Republican cleo
toral ticket because the DemOcrtic party
favors reducing the tariff. The sugar
planters have no objection to a reduc-
ton Of the tariff on all articles except
sugar. They believe that the Republican
party Will keep the present tariff on sugar,
and therefore they prefer to see that party
in power They do not consider that they
may be mistaken. If the opportunity
presented itself it is probable that two
thirds of the Republican Congressman
would vote to put sugar on the free list.
The Louisiana sugar planters, however,
think differently. They Will find out their
mistake in the course Of time. The Re
publicans care nothing for the sugar and
rice industries. If it becomes their in
terest to sacrifice them they will not hest
tate minute about striking the entire
duty off Of them. The city election in
New Orleans also occurs to-day. There
are three tickets, no one of which is Re
publican. They are all composed of
Democrats who are fighting for the spOils
of office. The politics of New Orleans
were never very clean. Theydo not seem
TO improve.

The Jail Question Again.

The late grand jury in their report re-
marked that our jail was a disgrace 10
civilization" and advised the building of
a new Jail at once. When body Of our
most respectable citizens speak in such
emphatic terms Of condemnation OF one
Of our most prominent institutions, ii
would seem 70 the average citizen to be
about time TO do something towards i'm
proving the institution condemned. In
this particular instance the cheapest and
best improvement that can be made
Is a new Jail. The County Commits
sioners have been doing their utmost
10 secure a proper site. About the
only site that meets all the
requirements j. near the Police Barracks.
The Grand jury say that that is the place
for the Jail. They 20 further, and declare
that there is no other site that viii an
swer 80 well. The County Commission
ers have been trying for months TO buy
this site. There i no reason why they
should not have it except that few citi-
zens in that neighb0rhOOd don't want the
jail there. The City Council, who have
the power to dispose Of the site in ques-
ton listen TO the protests Of these few
citizens rather than to the argu-
ments Of the County Commissioners.
By their course they, in effect, say that it
is much better that the city should main
tain a Jail that is a disgrace to ciYiliza-
ton" than that the wishes of a few citi-
zens should not be respected. If there
We're another available and suitable site
within the city limits which could be
had, and against the occupation of which
by Jail building there would be no pro-
tests, the Council, perhaps, would be
justified in refusing to sell to the County
Commissioners the lot adjoining the
Police Barracks, but as far as we are in
formed there isn't any such site. The
few citizens who protest against the
occupation Of the Police Barracks lot are
not to be blamed. They aresonly eXercis-
ing a right which they have, but it is
rather curious that their wishes are held
To be Of more Importance than the wishes
Of the great majority Of the city. For the
present, therefore, the disgrace to
civilization" continues to receive prison
ers at the old stand.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR listened to the Prince

was not familiar with the words, the old tunes
were pleasant "reminiscences.

A Timely Recommendation.

The grand jury Of this county in their
late report recommend the establishment
Of a State reformatory school. They were
led TO make this recommendation by what
they saw i'm the convict camp in this
county. II is q great mistake to send
bows. convicted Of petty offenses, to
the penitentiary, and from there
TO the convict camps. The result
in almost every instance is directly
contrary 10 what is intended and desired.
The young cOnvicts are not improved by
their punishment. AS arule they graduate
from the convict camp hardened crimi-
nails. Their association with those
VINO have grown old in crime
and who are past reformation,
fits them for an evil life. They return to
society not to become useful and honest
members Of it, but to prey upon 1t. All
the better impulses Of their nature are
deadened by the knowledge Of their dis
grace. They feel that they are Outcasts
from society. and they act as
such. The course pursued by
the state in dealing with criminals Of
this class is harsh, cruel and ineXcusa-
be. The aim should be to reform, and
not to make reformation practically i'm
possible. Many a boy. convicted Of a mi
nor odense, if properly trained in re-
iormatory school would develop into re-
spectacle citizen. No such lasting dis
grace attaches to boy so trained as there
does to convict. He does not think ne
sees everywhere the finger Of scorn point
ed at him, and does not feel that he will
meet with a repulse wherever he seeks
employment. The question Of the cost Of
a reformat0ry school is doubtless matter
Of some consideration, but 1t ought not 10
be OF such consideration as TO cause the
least hesitation respecting the course that
ought TO be pursued. What are a few
thousands Of dollars compared to the good
to be accomplished in saving human
beings from a life Of disgrace and misery
and from moral death: But IS it not
economy TO establish arefOTmatOry school:
The boys return from the convict camps
prepared not only to corrupt other youth
with which they come in contact, but also
10 enter upon a career Of crime. Society
suffers at their hands. and society Is taxed
year after year to provide judges and
iuries to try them for their crimes. and
ialls i'm which to confne and feed them.
1t is much cheaper TO reform boys than it
Is to protect society against criminals.
The next legislature viii act wisely if it
gives the recommendation Of our grand
Jury the attention it deserves.
