The Arcadia Herald, an anti paper
edited by Mr.. f. G. Hulse, brother of
Mr.. B. M. Hulse, of Opelousas, flies the
McEnery ticket at the head of its col
umns and says:
The situation that now confronts tile voters
of Louisiana Is a serious one.
The Democrats of this State must and will
support and elect the regular nominees of their
party. They can not afford to hazard the sue
cess Of their party by going away after strar &c
gods at this critical period in the history of the
State.
1t also says:
The Baton Rouge Capital Item which was
strongly opposed TO the nomination of McEn-
cry for governor has, as all good Democrats
should, decided to give him its support since he
is the regular nominee OF the Democratic party.
Thus are the true Democrats, ants
though they be, falling in line through
out the State under the banner of the
men to whom q majority have entrusted
the party standard and who alone can
preserve the peace and safety of the
commonwealth and perpetuate white
supremacy.

THE DEFEATED REAPPORTIONMEN7

The Democratic newspapers of this state are
naturally in sore distress because of the fatal
blows which have been dealt the Apportlon-
ment act by the Supreme Court Bench. For
the decision of the Court, declaring the act 10
be unconstitutional and void, unless reversed
as it is not likely to be-by the Court Of APP
pealS, not only puts an end to shameless Dem
ocIatic conspiracy against popular representa-
ton. but in so doing places brand OF infamy
upon the Democratic Legislature which passed
the ApDortonment act and upon the party re-
sponsible for such lawmakers. If these Demo
cratic organs could say anything to weaken the
effect of the decision they would say it-no
doubt about that What do they have to offer?
Well, "The Albany Argus practically takes
the extraordinary ground that the constitution
ality of the acts of Legislature cannot with
propriety be questioned by the courts. "Judi-
cial interference in such a CASE The Argus
observes, els clearly an assumption OF legs-
latiye functions" How an assumption OF lcgS-
lative functions? Every law which goes upon
the statute book is either constitutional or I'M
constitutional IL constitutional it stands; if
unconstitutional it falls. No possible argument
which is entitled to any consideration can be
portance, affecting the political rights Of every
voter in the State, should be regarded as an
exception to this rule. Of course the courts
will not interfere with what is known as "legls-
lative discretion But legislative discretion
is term which cannot in justice be construed
as including the right to make an apportion-
ment whose chief end and aim is not to max G
a fair division of the districts, but to help the
fortunes of party. In the distribution Of
three members" 1.-The Argus further holds,
" on the fractions of population it is claimed
that mathematical exactitudc has not been OBJ
served" No such mild claim has been filed.
The Republican contention is that the act was
deliberately made mathematically inexact for
dishonest partisan purpose. "The Word,'
in writing on the decision. asserts that the
Republicans refused in 1885 TO make a new
census as basis for reappoltionment "be-
cause any new census that could possibly be
made would inure to the benefit of the Demo
cratic party" This statement in its preposter
Gus ncorrectness is worthy of that interesting
character the Intelligent Foreigner. The fact
Island no fact is better linown-that the
Republican Legislature of 1885 did pass bill
which made ample provision for taking the
census-a bill corresponding to the one which
Governor Tildcn approved in ls75-and that
it failed for the sole reason that Governor Hill
vetoed it. "The World" falls into another
error. 1t declares that " the Republican party
now takes the ground that it must remain in
control" Not SO. The Republican party takes
the ground that Thousands Of voters shall not
be deprived Of tho right Of representation in

and generosity of the Metropolitan stockhold-
ers that the change is due. Without thought
of philanthropy, perhaps they have yet been IN
a large sense real benefactors OF their fellow
men.
Is it too much to ask that they now continue
their good work, and not only restore to us
the establishment which for eight years was
one of the ornaments of the city, but also AID
in the foundation of permanent National
Lyric Theatre? In all the larger cities OF the
country there are men who would be willing
to devote part of their wealth to such wise
and patriotic purpose, if some one would take
the initiative and point out the feasibility or
the plan Indeed, there is charm IN the
proposition which no other scheme for popular
education possesses. The benefits OF Ma
tional Opera would not be confined to any one
city. but would be carried from place to place
Enjoyment of them would not be restricted to
the few, but offered to the many. And while
the institution was adding to the embelllsh-
ments of civilization by extending knowledge
and love of music and the drama, it would be
increasing the fund of public pleasure and social
Cayety.

notice because there is in it no shade OF yleid-
ing To the mistaken notion that protective
duties should be limited to the necessities OF
the revenue The platform says: I'VE be-
leve in n Protective Tariff, in leyying customs
duties not only for revenue but for the en-
enlargement of American industries and the
protection of American wages. We believe
the present prosperity Of the Nation is largely
due to the joint operation OF the system Oh
Protection and Reciprocity" The workingmen
and the manufacturers of Massachusetts have
had ample occasion within the last two years
70 realize how greatly the change OF duties IN
the direction of more efficient Protection has
benefited their industries in the wool manu-
facture alone it has revived activity in multi
tude of establishments which had been idle
and given employment to thousands OF people
who were out of work because the restraints
against foreign competition were inadequate.
With such a platform, and with candidates
who richly deserve public approval and sup
port. the Republicans of Massachusetts have
reason to expect victory this year which will
be a fitting answer to the claim that the State
has been drifting away from the support of the
Republican National policy.

REprBLTCAN MASSACH USETTS.

The Massachusetts Republican Convention
has done its work well. Harmony throughout
the session the adoption Of sound platform,
and the nomination Of a ticket admitted to be
worthy and strong even by political opponents
give promise of full Republican vote in MasSa-
chusetts this year. Except in the minds Of
some Free-Trade fanatics, there has been little
doubt about the Presidential vote of that State,
and the practical managers of the Democratic
campaign are not likely to waste much force
in that quarter, but it is important to Repub-
lican success that harmony and Jealous effort
in this largest Of NcwEngland States are Sc
cured by the action of the convention.
The platform not only approves in general
terms the National platform adopted at Mime
apols and the candidates there nominated, but
declares that under the Administration of Pres-
dent Harrison I'VE have reached National
prosperity never equalled III the history Of the
United -tatcsD and that a " continuance of that
Administration would insure a continuance of
that prosperity" 1t alirms with truth that the
Democrats in Congress have been unfaithful
TO specific promises made to the people, and
that the House has been the most expensive
and impotent House since the formation of the
Government" On the money question the con-
vention speaks for the conservative and bust
ness interests Of the whole country, in dcclar-
ing against free coinage by the United States
without conference or agreement with other
nations, and adds: ave take the vote of
three to one by the Democrats in the last Con-
gress in favor of free coinage to be an indica-
ton of their party policy and we believe that
policy to DO menace to stability and honesty
in National finance"

Despite the drawback that certain delega-

unnecessary apprehension Of the cholera near
New-York, the fifth convention OF the Repub-
can National League opened in that city yes
terdav in brilliant manner. Thirty-two States
and Territories were represented by delegates
and immense interest and enthusiasm were
manifested The most interesting feature OF
the day, perhaps, was the reception OF reports
of League work in the various states. these
show the solid and widespread nature OF the
Renublican club movement, which is political
force of large significance and value.
