The Revenue law of Louisiana
should be amended in some respects
The law requires that taxes should
be paid on or before a certain date,
if not then to proceed without delay
to advertise and sell. The law also
fixes the advertising space, and
instead of each name constituting at
least one square, they are to be paid
for prorata. For instance, Smiths
property makes of square. Jones
!, Brown ! and Thompson 6ve-sixths
and Smiths ad runs twice, Jones
three times, Browns four times and
Thompson's five times, what would
be each ones proportion? This is q
difficult problem and as great many
papers work them in extras they
would not get pay for advertisement.
Whenever party neelects to pay
and permits his property to be advsr-
tised for sale he is, and should be,
liable for all costs as though paid on
day OF sale. If the law was amended
30 as each name to constitute one OF
more squares then tho collector could
collect the proper amount at any
time, but under the present law it
would be exceedingly difficult.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

The message Il Governor McEn.
emery, like all those he has written,
is an able, bold and trenchant presen.
tation of the condition Of the State,
accompanied 10y the wise and prac,
teal suggestions Of an Executive
thoroughly conversart with her
necessities and caral ilities.
The Governor makes - frank ex-
pose If the obstacles that the COLI
stitutionnl limitations have placed in
the way OF a more rapid progress
and Of a greater perfection iu the
administration of the government
1t also proves cohrlusiv.ly that the
limited means at the disposal of his
administration have been judiciously
employed and that greater results
have been attained than could
reasonably have been expected.
With a coni,nendable and rairi-
otto magnahimity, lie seeks by tin,
frank expose to strengthen in ad-
vance the efforts that he knows his
worthy successor will make to pro-
mote the welfare and the advance
ment OF the commol wealth; md it
is to he hoped that the Legislature
will net upon his wise suggestions
with the same spirit by which they
are prompted.
AS the message will soon he in the
hands of the public we deem it un-
necessary to par,icularize its con-
tents. 1t will speak fnrribly for it.

Gov. McE:nery's Claims.

The Morehouse Clarion thus adj
vocates the claims of Gov. McEnery
to the Senate:
Gov. MrEnery. after he was defeat.
ell ut the Batcn Rouge convention,
after an exciting and bitter campaign
which was waged by either faction,
accepted the verdict of the people on
the moment. He worthily, and in
keeping with his past record as a
party man. ruslt d to the front to
urge his followers to lay aside dis
sensions, forget past grievances
engendcred and engage in the fight
against the common foe with zeal
Gus, patriotic and determined spirit.
He rot only worked zealously to
give the ticket headed with the
lame Of Nichols u bare majority,
hut he left no stone unturned to
rr"wn his late victor with such n
glorious victory Of Democracy over
lie, ul'licuIisIn as was never before
known in the State. HIS struggles
we're effective, and Gen. Nichols will
receive the governorship Of the State
hy the grand majority of upwards of
10000.
At the next Legislature we are to
select two United States Senators.
Now We would ask, has not Mem
cry as great claims upon one of these
seats as any other man in Louisiana?
Is he not qualified to fill the position
with credit to the State and bis con.
stituentY Has North Louisiana ever
been represented in the United States
Senate by one of her own sons? And
is it justice to sill ignore us in North
Louisiana in selecting senators?
The above questions manifest their
own affirmative and indisputable an
swers, and therefore we in conclusion
would say that We sincerely trust
that the great man. of Nor;h Lou
isiana will be awarded as he deserves
for his true worth and merit one of
these two seats in ne United States
Senate soon to be reflled.
If North Louisiana is to have q
Senator let us have McEnery.

The law in relation to assessors
should be amended. The pay OF the
assessor should he in proportion to
the actual services performed, as
assessor and registrar, and be gov
erned according to the population Of
each parish. 1t is as much trouble
to list a 30 feet lot as plantation of
hundreds of acres. Let the fees be
regulated according to the actual
services and population then we
would hear less complaint.

The Shreveport Democrat says
the question of the aspirations Of
Gov. McEnery is just now awakening
some attention. 1t is claimed that
he will offer for the United States
Senate, though a man of Gov. Nc.
Enery's farsightedness in politics
would hardly antagonize Senator
Gibson, who has the battle already
won. Again, it is declared that be
would accept the nomination to the
Supreme bench, if rendered him BY
Gov. Nichols. The bestowal Of so
high a position on Gov. McEnery by
the incoming administration would
be BETTING and merited tribute to
worthy and gallant Democrat who
did not suffer the sting of defeat TO
abate one jot or title his solicitude
for party success. To place Gov.
McEnery upon the supreme bench
would be but the recognition of emil
nent merit. and we trust that Gov.
Nichols will so conclude. On the
subject OF Gov. McEnery's future
advancement. the Msrksville Bull
letin, which strongly supported him
for the gubernatorial nomination,
says:
"Tbe politicians are agog to know
whether Gov. McEnery will 70 on
the bench as q successor to Judge
Todd. or whether be will enter the
race for sest in the United States
senate. Thus far b. has given no
expression OF bis desires, and conse-
queutly no ore is able to state posi-
lively what are bis intentions. There
are those who bold that the bench is
we'll suited to bis TASTE and accom-
plisbments, but as the vacancy has
occurred and has been held / ack for
several months, to receive the sppoint-
ment from his successor would smack
of q bargain that is alike unjust to the
retiring and incoming governors.
And then il is held that be was in the
very forefront of the last campaign
stamping himself o. the chief OF bis
party, and consequently be must be
kept in the political arena. and there
fore q seat in tho senate is the place
for bin. Which should it be, judge
