n. y. States: The question of the re-
peal of the State bank tax is now COM
manding the attention of the leading
members of the House who have held
frequent conferences with Secretary
Carlisle for the purpose Of ascertaiuing
his views. 1t is understood that Presi-
dent Cleveland is in favor Of the repeal
of the tax provided the bill is so framed
as to require the State banks to secure
their notes by a deposit of State, county
and municipal bonds, and that all OF the
currency of the banks shall be Of uni
form character aud printed by the gov
ernment bureau of printing and engrav-
ing IN order to prevent counterfeits be-
ing put into circulation. The repeal
which will no doubt be suou introduced
in the House will cause the currency to
be acceptable ia all parts of the country.
The Southern aud Western members OF
Congress are almost unanimous in favor
of the repeal OF the 10 per cent tax, and
there is every reason to believe that the
bill will pass the House by "a large ma
j0rlty, aud will get through the Senate,
although it vii! encounter some very
strong opposition in the latter body,
where nearly all OF the Republicans and
a few Democrats are welded to the na-
tiOnai banking system.

An exciting game of base ball was
played here ON Sunday afternoon be-
tween the 0pelousas and Morrow clubs,
resulting in victory for tho former by
the close score of IS to II. The Morrow
boys are hustlers, and in them our local
team found focmen worthy of their
steel. They have long limo Of suc-
cesses to their credit aud came very
near adding another TO their list, but tue
fortunes OF war decreed otherwise.
Another trial OF skill between the two
clubs is spoken of. We would DoL risk

Constitutional Convention Demanded,

/ \. 0. Daily Item.
y constitutional ventinn is needed
/ These are the days Of retrenchmenta and
reform - rctrenchment iD the utterly
reckless placing OF tremendous power
in the hands of one Inan-the Governor
-and reform as to the manner in which
the burdens OF the State are divided
and piled upon one class and evaded or
altogether ignoreu by another. Taxa
tion is not equal and uniform by any
means.
Were there no other reason why a con
stltntiOnai convention is needed than
the one fact that time has changed the
condition Of the State politically, that
should be all sufficient.
The last constitutional convention
was necessity glowing out of the evils
that had been fastened upon the COM
.noDWealtn by the war aud the lapine
and spoliation which followed through
the rascality and thieviDg methods of
those in power.
The work accomplished in that con-
ventiOn was well done and served the
purpose aimed at, as has since been am-
ply shown. The credit OF the State was
saved by that convention, and those
who represented the wealth and vital
interests of Louisiana were enabled to
secure firm hold OF the reiuS OF gov
ernment, and in that hold and from that
power they shall never be removed.
But there are amplifications, modih-
cations and radical changes as we'll as
heroic treatment necessary to patch the
present instrument into the sembIance
of a dignifed and adequate constitu-
tion of an old, progressive and enlight-
ed State. Patch work has characterized
the constitution since the first session
of the Legislature following its adop-
ton.
While the gentlemen who will soon
meet to consider the necessities of the
case are in every way entitled to and no
doubt is entertained of the truth that
they justly enjoy the entire confidence
of the people, their work, whatever it
may be, must be submitted to the Leg
islature before being sent to the people
for sanction by ballot.
In the Legislature much time, doubt
less, will be consumed in fruitless dis
cussion over any suggestion submitted,
and all at the cost of the taxpayer.
SO, why not tell tho members of the
Legislature to order a Constitutional
Convention as soon as possible after
their next session couvenes, which will
be in May, 1894?

License or No License.

License or No License.
The several towns in this section
that have experimental with no
license have found it farce, be-
cause those who vote that way fail
to act accordingly the year through
or to see that what they voted for is
properly maintained. Morality is
one of the grandest qualifications
that could possibly overtake an in
diyidual or community. This
must be brought about by persuasion
aud not force. Law breakers have
existed in every age and generation,
and ii requires the constantly united
effort of all law.loving people to
keep them under submission. This
city has not had mayor for many,
many years who would not readily
and oheorfully entertain any reason
able compliant made, and the abuse
that has been heaped upon some
officials was entirely unreasonable.
The main question at present is:
Is Mineral Point ripe for the change
from license to no llcense2 The
opinion Of the TRIBUNE is that she
is not. But the enforcement of the
laws we now have, (Which requires
the cooperation of private citizens
with the offioers) would produce
such change AZ ought TO prove
satisfactory to every good citizen,
in face of the indisputabe fact that
morality is obtainable only through
persuasion and example

A Rumored Compromise,

A Washington dispatch of yesterday
stated that a compromise had been
agreed upon in the Democratic Sem
atorial caucus, which will, if approved
by the President, lead to a speedy vote
on the silver bill and its settlement
for the present. The proposed COM
promise, it is said, provides for repeal
of the Sherman law, but postpones
operation, or date of effect of re-
peal, till July l, 1895; retires treasury
notes below $40; coins $54, OOO, 600 OF
the seignorage now on hand; makes
the purchase of 100000 ounces Of
silver per month mandatory. These
points are said to be agreed upon
but the bond question is matter moi
yet settled, and a wide divergency o.
opinion exists as to confirming the
right of the Secretary of the Treasury
to issue bonds, under the act of 1875
limiting amount to 5000, 00O, 600, in
terest at 3 per cent. and time to five
years. 1t is specially stipulated tina
these bonds shall only be used t.
strengthen the gold reserve and no
for banking purposes.
The bill containing these modifica
tions cannot be introduced befors
Monday, and We feel that then it vii
be without the Presidents sanction
and will have to rally a constitutions
support in both branches of Congress
before it becomes law.

DEATH OF A NOBLE WoMAN.-Lucy
Stone, who may fairly be considered
the pioneer of reform for women,
died in Boston, Wednesday night, at
the age OF 70 years. She was born in
West Brookfield, Mass, Aug. Is, 1918.
Her grandfather was colonel in the
Revolutionary war. Miss Stone was
very early in life impressed with the
injustice done to her sex by the views
that had had their origin in the dark
ages of humanity. She determined to
obtain a collegiate education to enable
her to read the Bible in the original,
and determine whether the texts quot
ed against the equality of women had
been correctly translated. She gradu-
ated at Oberlin in 1S47, and immedi-
ately entered the lecture-field, her SUBJ
jects being African slavery and the
rights of women. In 1855 she was
married to Henry B. Blackwell, mer-
chant Of Cincinnati, retaining, by his
consent, her own name. In 1869, Mrs.
Stone was instrumental in forming
the American Woman's Suffrage Asso-
citation, and the following year she be-
came co-editor OF the Woman's Journal,
in Boston, and for many years was its
editor-in-chief. Although she has not
lived to witness the realization of her
hopes, she has sown good seed and in
the course of time the harvest will pro.
duce the fruits of her noble mission in
Nfa
