sure them that our views are by no
means singular or solitary.
The views entertained by the voters
of Grant parish, in relation to the
amendments. we believe to be sound
and correct, and, if We are any judge,
they propose to give . large majority
against the debt ordinance. The ytlaer
amendments meet with more favur, aid

pleasure as the first is voted agains<-

HOW SHALL We VOTE :

Anumber of articles have been writ
ten of late in reference to the proposed
amendments to the State constitution,
which are to be voted for in the CON-
ing April election. Last week we pub
lished an article from the City Item.
entitled "All Within q Six Mill Limi-
tation," in which the argument is made
that it would be wise policy to vote
for the debt ordinance, in order to
make provision for the prompt pay
ment of the maturing coupons of the
State bonds, and the intimation is sug-
gested that any other course would be
an injustice to holders Of State bonds.
Other papers in the State go further,
and declare that the defeat of the debt
amendment will be more disastrous to
the States credit and financial pros
perity than ''the loss to the taxpayers
of the paltry difference in the rate of
interest of 3 and per cent scattered
over fifteen years."
What are the facts in relation to the
State debit
We understand that the entire State
debt is about twelve millions of dol
lars. 1t is proposed to raise the inter-
est on this debt from to per cent
per annnm for fifteen years = an in
crease Of one per cent. One per cent
of $4,000. 900 is $4,000. Fifteen
times $I2O, 900 are 81 ,sO,.0O0 In 9TH
er words, it is proposed to pay the
bondlolders $I20,0O0 more each year
for fifteen years than they are allowed
by the present State constitution
clear increase of 81 10000 in fifteen
years. Truly this is. an issiysifcnxt
sum, but we are of the opinion that it
would not take many such "paltryr
items before the taxpayers could feel
it very sensibly.
Unless we see more plausible reasons
than have yet been advanced, we shall
oppose this debt amendments, which
proposea to saddle the taxpayers oi
Louisiana with the additional burden
Of 81, $4,000. Those who are inter-
ested in the scheme, If they have pIau-
sibIe reasons and can show the people
the benefit to accrue frum such an ont
lay, bad better BE- Al il, fos We csu ~.

The returns from the games at Calves
ton and Houston yesterday afternoon
were looked for anxiously here, large
crowds assembling around the various
bulletin boards in two or three enter
prisiug saloons. Betting was strongly
in favor of both the North Texas clubs,
and the result was, therefore, not uneX-
pected.
Fort Worth was as strong q favorite
as the home club. 1t was North against
South Texas, and our sporting frater-
nifty, backed home aud sectional talent
and enterprise with vim and onthusi-
asin. Fort Worth has been most mate
rally strengthened by the addition of
Crosby and Geiss, and our Nine will
have to do some magnificent playing to
beat the Forts boys.
Crothers will fill the bill as
well ~ Crosby or any of them,
even tho best in the box, provided a
catcher il found who can hold his terri
BILE balls. Tho chief reason of his not,
on ono or two occasions coming up to
expectations, was simply the want Of n
man to stand behind the bat. He
is lightning when backed properly all
around. A new tip-top catcher, and one
or two ilrst-class additions on the bases
| ana IN tho held, say about throe new
men, will render tho Browns tho most
powerful Nine in the South.
The superior enterprise of North Texas
IN evidenced by gathering together such
Mines, at large eXpence, and putting
thom In tho field. They advertise as
they go. Sam Klein declares that, nc
matter what the cost, no proposes tC
keep tho Queen City In the lead, ant
! what no saws no means and will do.
Tho third of the league sorios between
Galveston and Fort Worth, Mt Calves
ton, and the second between Dallas ant
Houston, at Houston, will be playeC
this afternoon at o'clock, and tho re
