REGISTER! REGIS1E ERR!

fyou have not already done so, &c
and register at once. 1t il every man s
privilege and duty to vote at the coming
election. in order that the result may
indsed be the voice of the people, and
the successful candidates the choice of a
majority of all the voters. But no one
will be allowed to vote who is not regis
tered. Do not delay this important
matter, but attend to it at once.
There is an erroneous idea prevailing
in some sections that the jury list Is
drawn from the registration roll, and
that persons who do not register will
thereby escape jury duty. This is all a
mistake. The list of jurors is drawn
from the assessment list of taxpayers,
ard not from the list of registered voters.
We make this explanation for the info--
nation of thst class of citizens who
would rather surrender the right of suf-
frage than serve on jury. Remember.
then, the jury list is not drawn from the
list of voters. but from the list of tax
oavera

Mr.. n. A. Strickland, the regular
Democratic candidate for State Senator.
arrived here yesterday morning. AMI
will address the people to-day at the
Courthouse. Mr.. Strickland is stran-
ger to many Of our citizens, but he
comes highly recommended, As will be
seen by the extract from the Greensburg
Gdseus. which we publish in another
column. Having been nominated for
Senator by the District Convention, he
scarcely needs any further commeDda
ton, as none but man of acknowledged
ability and sterling worth could have
secured the honor bestowed on him by
that body. 1t goes without saying that
he will receive the solid Democratic vote
OF this parish. and that he il destined to
be our next Senator'S position which he
will fill with honor and credit. We hope
70 see large attendance at the Court
house to-day. when all will have an op-
portunity of hearing him and forming
his acquaintance.

who desires to do so should be allowed
to take ont license and enjoy the same
privilege. If other lottery companies
are willing to pay $40. 900 year to the
public schools and charity. they have as
much right to do 40 and carry on the
business as Towards lottery company.
Vote for no man for the Legislature who
is not willing to grant charters to new
companies or abolish them all. No
monopoly privileges or exclusive rights
should be granted t, lotteries or any
other business in this State. but all pro-
fessions and callinRs should be free and
open to competition.

ELECTION TICKETS FREE

In this mercenary age. people are no,
prone to give anything away without an
object in view. and when We noticed an
advertisement in the city papers. pro.
posing to furnish candidates with cleo.
ton tickets free of charge, We naturally
concluded that there was something
rotten in Denmark" and we set about to
discover what new scheme was on foot,
in order that We might sound the note
OF warning in time. Eureka! The fol-
lowing extract, from the st. Landry
Democrat, throws some light on the SUBJ
ject:
The bondholders, who are the only
parties interested in having the first
proposed amendment ratified by the
people. SO as to saddle upon the tax-pay-
ers OF the State an additional burden of
-, ooO,U2O, propose to furnish printed
election tickets for all the parishes of
the State free Of charge. printed in fauor
Of said amendment. In plain English,
this Is bride offered to the various can
didates to have such tickets circulated,
aud no Others. by relieving the can.ii-
dates Of tue expense of having tickets
printed. The Democracy of this parish
has declared against this amendment,
and instructed the parish committee to
have all the Democratic tickets printed
NO such amendment
should ever have been submitted to the
people: and to avoid any mistake We na.
wise every voter to vote against all the
and let them die with the |
legislature that ormulated them.
We do not agree with the Democrat in |
the people to vote against all |
The amendments, but We wish to impress |
lpon all the Importance of examining |
heir tickets closely. and be snre that
hey are voting against the first amend
nent, instead Of for it.
