The time of holding elections fol-
Congressman is fixed by the States
and not by Congress. Maine and a
few other States still elect their Con-
greBsmen before November. Most
of the States hold their elections for
congressman on the day fixed by
Congress for voting for President,
viz. The first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November.
The Congress elected next Tuesday
will not convene in regular session
until the first Monday in December,
1891. Its official existence, however,
begins on the 4th of March next and
the members will draw pay from that
date. If a special session should be
called between March and December,
1891, it would be composed of the
newly elected members.
Tho present ratio of representation
in Congressis l51, 912 of population
to each Congressman.

Do Your Duty.


Next Tuesday the people Of Lou
isiana viii have the privilege of cast
ing their ballots for Representatives
in the SD Congress. There is no
danger of Democratic defeat in any
District in this State if the Demo
Gratis discharge the duty they owe
themselves, and their State, by turn
ing out on election day and voting.
1t is not right to go upon the idea
that success is assured. A battle is
never won by any such means. Every
Democrat in the State ought to vote
for the Democratic nominees at the
election. The present House was
lost by apathy in the Second Louisi-
ana and three st. Louis Districts. If
the Democrats in those Districts had
done their duty, Reed never would
have been Speaker, the Force Bill
never would have passed the House.
Had all the Democrats in those Dis
tricts voted for their nominees on
the day of election, Pendeltop, of
West Virginia, elected by plurality
of 100 votes; Jackson, of West Vir-
ginia, elected by a plurality of % !;
Compton, of Virginia, elected by a
plurality of 181; Wise of Virginia,
elected by plurality of 361; Brock
inridge, of Arkansas, elected by a
plurality of SAG; Venable, of Virginia,
elected by plurality of 642; Cate,
of Arkansas, elected by a plurality of
1,348; Elliott, of South Carolina,
elected by plurality of 1856; and
Turpin, of Alabama, elected by plu-
rality of 1858, never would have
lost their seats, and the Mckinley
tariff bill never would have become a
law. Four other Democratic mem.
bers whose pluralities were from
COLO to 8,419, are threthened with
decapitation by Reeds political as
sassins" at the next session of the
51st Congress.
In short, all the deviltry done by
the present Infamous Congress could
and would have been prevented had
every Democrat in the United States
who could have easily done so, voted
for his nominees at the last Congress
sional election. OF all such laggard
Democrats it can be truthfully and
regretfully said, eye knew your duty,
but did it not" Shame upon such
Louisiaqians have too much at
stake to let a spirit of over confidence
and apathy lull them to sleep. Their
duty is to vote on election day and
vote for Democratic nominees.
External vigilance is the price Of
liberty" Be yigilant. Do your duty
