Natchitoches Review: California
has adopted two highly important
election amendments to it's constitu-
ton. One restricts suffrage TO those
who can read and write, q qualifica-
tion adapted by number OF the
States. The other has more signi-
ficant bearing the election OF United
States Senator 10y the popular vote OF
the people. This latter is the first
innovation in this direction, and a
highly proper aud necessary change
from existing methods. At present,
the United States Senate is "a club of
millionaires."
Louisiana is suffering badly from
lack of the remedies mentioned
above.
Review: The irony of fate was
manifested in the recent election.

Com"'ends the ingredients of our pois-
On'd chalioe
To our own lips"
Sectionalism is rebuked, and he
millennium is dawning.
The LOGIC OF FACTS. Baton Rouge
Gazette: Two East Ration Rouge
farmers met on Main street the
other day. One raised hay, the other
cotton. The hay man gathered fonr
tons per acre and sold it here for Sl5
per ton or $50 per acre. The cotton
man raised one bale on four acres
and sold for $50 per bale or $50 per
acre, having been at four times the
labor and expense on each acre or
sixteen times more than the luan of
grass to get half the money. Drive
= tack down just here, farmers of
East Baton Rouge.
