grand success In every particular
Nearly 300 of the leading editors of the
different states were in attendance, re-
inforced by some $50 of the fairest and
brightest women in the country; and
the ''Boston Press Club" and the tWo-
mans Press Club of Boston, who in
sisted on doing the honors of the occa
sion, had their hands fuIl, as may well
be imagined but they acquitted
themselves admirably of the task not
withstanding.
The sessions were held in the famous
old state capitol with the gilded dome
from which Boston derived its title oil

perched high up on Beacon Hill and
fronting historic Boston Common is
bathed in a veritable atmosphere OF
glorious "reminiscences, almost every
spot in the vicinity recalling some he-
role incident of colonial or revolution
airy times.
We have no time this week to give
an account of the proceedings of the
Association or of our visit to the his
toric spots which lie in the shadow Of
Bunker Hill, and which evoke in the
breast of every American citizen a

MIR. Morris Proposition.

From the first we saw no wisdom in
opposing the submission of Mr.. Morris
lottery proposition to the people. II
this be a government of the people. it
has always appeared to us that it should
be governed by them. This is the only
democracy We have yet been able to
learn.
Our TAGS mark out the limits of the
authority We the people have delegated
to our legislative representatives. We
elect them to do for US that which it is
impracticable the people should do for
themselves. The masses cannet aban-
don their industrial pursuits, absent
themselves from their homes, and par
ticipate by their presence in the making
CT laws; yet, to do so were really and
essentially democratic.
Unwilling to surrender their inaIien-
able power to representatives merely,
they have hedged them about with lin
ltations and said, In representing us.
you may go so far and no farther"
Now 1t has appeared to US that the
opponents of Morris proposition have
attempted most strenuously to ignore
the sovereign, inalienable, indefeasible
power and authority of the people. We
have been and expect to remain oppos-
ed to every such disregard of their er-
etasipe rights.
We have thought, and we now say
to our representatives touching this and
all other matters in which the masses
are concerned, look carefully to the Com
stitutlon for your authority, as the ma
riner looks to his compass when on the
seas, for his direction and as he sails
by this, through unknown wastes of wa
ters, SO must you steer by the Constitu-
ton through the perplexities of your re-
preventative prerogatives and public
duties. From the first, we could see
nothing whatever in the Constitution
authorizing our represent tatives to vote
on the question of submission and to
withhold that right from the people.
As our neighbor, the Democrat, once
said, the question so far has not been
whether the Louisiana State Lottery
should be rechartered, but, rather,
should the Legislature submit that
question to the popular vote9 We
think it has acted constitntionally,
wisely and demoerdticalg in deciding
to let the people have a say.
The two Senators and the three Re
presentatiyes from st. Landry have
bravely stood up. in defiance of denun-
citation and ealumniation, and have re.
presented the people, the indefeasibIe
rights and poWers Of the people, and we
say, Well done, good and faithful ser
wants
