believe that Morris and associates
have been whipped they deserve
the scorn of all good men for
continuing to bclabora fallen foe.
1t Morris and company have been
converted to anti-ism certainly
their late opponents should show
them some charity.
This story about the lottery
managers abandoning their rights
is silly twadd!c, but admittingthat
a change in condition might arise
that would make such Il step on
their part advisable, tho argu-
~ments which prove conclusivcly
that no such step is now contcm-
plated would not be so convlnc-
Ing. But III that the language Of
the amendment itself intcrvcncs
ana makes argument unnecessary
The amendment Is TO be voted on
April 18th, 1892 and 20 days after

the conditions OF the amendment
in writing and 10 days after that,
namely, on May 18th, he must file
y bond conditioned for the faitI,-
III! performance of the provisions
of the amendment for SIS 900, 900,
and ut the same time the corporate
|
liability of himself and h,s assoc.-
atcs begins TO run, and 81 900, 200
in cash is required to be paid up
ut once to meet this liability. Not
wit hstanding the fact that the liza
bIllty of Morris and his associates
becomes fixed and binding on the
18th Of May 1892, the charter does
not go into effect until January
! LIST, 1884. q year and nearly eight
months after the Obligations are
assumed. The reason for this
early fixing Of the liability WAS to
meet the very point now being
raised by the ants, and the pro-
vision was Incorporated in the
Act ut the suggestion of friends
OF the amendment who wanted to
make their position before the
people as strong as possible.
1t is not likely that the lottery
managers will change their minds
about the value of their franchise
IN the short space of time allowed
to lapse between the adoption of
the amendment an,! the acccp-
tancc of its conditions by Morris
and his associates and if they do |
not change then ii Will he too late
afterwards, rs they will be held to
their bargain by the heaviest mon
cy penalty ever cxactci for the
security Of 81 contract. TO sup
pose that they would refuse to
carry out their contract after be-
coming liable under 1t, Is out Of
tho qrost;"n, hut &c tho, liI ,l.o
state would get many millions Of
dollars without having the lot terry.
The bond and the liability inn
posed by the statute is more than
ample to hold Morris and his as
sociatcs to their contract did they
need any holding, but, according
to the testimony of the ants. the
prospective profits will outweigh
The penalties many times over as Il |
factor in Keeping them to their
bargain. That the $3l .250, 900 |
viii be forthcoming rs prescribed
by the amendment there is not Il
shadow of doubt, and that LOUIS
lana will flourish under the life |
giving influence Of this mnrnifi- |
cent sum is equally rs plain. All |
the people Of Louisiana have to
do Is TO vote for the amendment:
the money provided by twill flow
into the State Treasury Of It's own
accord. The lottery managers arc
sensible business men who know |
that honesty is the best policy, and |
that their only security in the en-.
joymcnt of their valuable fran !
chise lies in their absolute good |
faith with the state.
