States are not suffering like other sections
and local causes are not to blame for the

is taking The wind out of the political sails
in this matter and our readers are storing
these facts away.
Pennsyl lVania has only little over five
times as large population as South Carolina
and her debts are about one hundred and
thirty times as much. Divide 130 by s,
which goes 26 times, and we find that the
great people of that great State of Pennsyl.

the people of South Carolina.

A Primary Election Law.

n. o. City Item.
Now that factional bitterness in Lou
isiana is quiesCsnt, if not utterly dead,
it is . meet, right and proper" as our
religious friends would say, to discuss
the question of Il primary election law
"a subject with which the legislative
session of 1894 must deal.
Our sister States have in large meas
ure already solved this problem, bring
ing uuder the control of State law those
primary elections which determine the
candidates of the several political par
| ties. In Louisiana We have approached
the problem in a minor way by proyid
ing punishment for fraudulent practi-
ces at such elections. But we have no
statute which ensures thoroughly fair
and impartial returns in those most i'm
portaDt preliminary skirmishes which
in this State practically settle the cues
! ton Of who shall be our officials for four
years.
What Is needed is 4 measure which
takes out Of the hands of the existing
government the power to control 10
! even the remotest degree the party pro-
ccsses by which its successors in office
are named. The agencies to guard and
protect the rights Of voters in primary
! elections must not be within the ap-
, pointing power of the Executive. They
I must come straight from the people
speaking at tho ballOt-bOx at general
election. They must not be removable
at will 10y the Executive !; nor must they
be named Ivy any board OF body official
whose appointment comes from tho OK
listing government. Thus alone can
public confidence in the fairness and
honesty Of primary elections be secured.
The Item would suggest that even at
! this early day the members of our Leg
/ isiature turn their attention to this ID Ost
serious problem. The wise aud proper
line Of procedure would be 10 obtain
the primary election laws of the several
States Of the Union, and from these Sc
; icct those provisions which are appli-
! cable to Louisiana conditions. having
in mind always the throwing around
! the ballot box at such elections the
most thorough and complete safe
guards.
We have not at hand the data to make
! detailed suggestions. 1t may be that
some OF our Legislators have already
investigated the subject aud can speak
with accurate knowledge. It there be
such, The Item would be glad to publish
! their views and thus enter upon the dis
cussion ut this quiet political period of
| what 10 assuredly the problem Of the
t future 10 Louisiana.
