Pay Living Rates.
Alexandria Town Talk.

Alexandria Town Talk.
One cause of the success of the Republican
party, is because it never fails to assist it's
spress. Instead of cutting down advertising
rates to a starvation point, the Republican
party sees that the printer is we'll paid.
This does not seem to be the rule with the
I ,emocrats in this State. Whenever police
jurymen get a chance to cut down the cost Of
public printing in Louisiana they do it, and
think they have done something grand, some
thing honorable.
Please remember, too, that every police ju-
ryman in the State is, or should be, a Demo
crat.
When election time rolls around the first
people called upon to fight the Republican
rascals are the Democratic editors, and no
matter how they have been robbed of their
just dues, the Democratic editors are always
in the van.
The Democratic party everywhere should
look into this important matter, and see that
newspaper men get fair and just treatment.
Each parish in Louisiana should be made
to pay as much for it's public printing as pri
vate people, and if the Democratic police ju
rymen in Louisiana do not see it in that light,
they should be made to see by proprietors of
newspapers refusing to publish public print
ing for less than legal rates.

The Fifteenth Amendment. 4.

N. q. States.
Jackson, Miss, special to the Picayune,
states that Gen. A. NJ. West, State Senator
from Marshal county, has introduced in the
Legislature a memorial to Congress, asking
for the abrogation of the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, and in
structng the Mississippi delegation in Con-
gress in accordance Herewith. The memorial
further directs the Secretary of State of Mis-
sissippi to furnish a copy to the Governor of
each State in the Union to be laid before their
respective Legislatures.
The abrOgation of the Fifteenth Amendment
is the only practical and humane solution of
the negro question; and it is one that the
States has persistenty advocated ever since
the issue became live and aggressive one.
With all due respect to Senators Hampton,
Morgan and Call, who have proposed to de-
to some territory of the United States, we
must say that we regard their scheme as us
terly visionary and impracticable. Even if
the negroes were willing to go, the depolta
tion of eight millions of people would be a
work of such magnitude that it is folly to con-
template it. 1t would impose the most cruel
hardships upon the negro, and it wonld con
vert some of the fairest portions of the South
into swamps or deserts.
Disfranchise the negro aud thus render him
an object of Indifference to demagogues and
agitators, and at the same time turn his at
bentton from politicS ana dreams oil DONNA
tion to honest labor, and the race problem
will be solved. We congratulate Mr.. West
upon the step he has taken in this matter
The movement to abrogate the Fifteenth
may not be consummated this
year or the next, but, with the exception of
the negro race, it is the only
practicable solution Of the momentous prob
lem that now rests like an incubus on the
South, and which must sooner or later, be
solved, either by enlightened Christian states
or by cruelty and blood.

The Assessors Convention.
Baton Rouge Truth. Jan. 81.

bdtou NOu3e truth, Jan. d.
The Assessors Convention, assembled here
Wednesday and Thursday furnished no prac-
ticable plan for correcting the notorious ine-
qualities of assessments in the various parish
e5 OF the State. This was found very hard
nut to crack. The one or two in the cOnven-
tion fayOring the establishment of board of
equalization were overwhelmingly in the mi
nority. yet in all the convention there was no
one ready with a tangible or practical scheme
outside of this calculated to arrive at the re-
suit desired.
AS a consequence the assembled assessors
PASSED resolutions asking asking assessors to
perform their duty under law. and in general
terms called upon the Legislature to adopt
"a system" for securing equality and uniform
lty III tho assessments of property.
Therefore we say, directly little has been
accomplished; but indirectly we are confident
the convention marks the beginning of an ag-
itation on this subject which will end in i'm
portant results. In other words, the effect of
the convention will be educational. In the
discussions that must follow, the people will
have their attention directed to the necessity
of reform, and afterwards the ingenuity of
onr public men will devise practicable meth
DDS through which the reform will be reached.
When it becomes more generally known
that real estate in some parishes is assessed
at full value and in others at only SO per cent
of its value; when it is known that it is
general rule to assess fine mules on sugar
plantations at only $50 per head, while in
many cotton parishes less valuable mules are
assessed at $75 and $85 per head and
that there is a variance OF as much as so per
cent in the assessment of cattle; when the
of these together with host of
such inequalities becomes disseminated among
the people, then will they realize the import
ance of the movement and understand the ma.
ture of the dissatisfaction underlying it.
The discussion of these matters. at least can
not do any harm, but may do much good. 1t
will have the tendency ofeducating the mass
es up to sense of their responsibilities in
matters of assessment and taxation, and will
bring to bear moral influence that will give
stamina and backbone to the assessors and
police juries of the State.
