It was bad enough in the National gov
eminent to violate sacred obligation to
sugar planters by summariiy repeating
the bounty law under which the crops
for the current year had been planted
and ted-extraordinary expenses
incurrent in sundry ways-but the House
had to heap insult on injury by passing a
bill putting sugar on the free list. The
sugar planters have been slaughtered in
the house of their friends. That's the
way they feel about it anyhow.-Ex.
Our confrere stumbled into the
error of supposing that a measure
would pass Congress simply be-
cause it was introduced and placed
on the calendar. The tariff bill as
passed gives sugar forty per cent
protection, and that is all that
could be reasonably expected.

Police Jurors.

The Legislature amended section
1927 of the revised statutes, fixing
the qualifications of police jurors,
which will hereafter be elected by
the people. The amended article
is as follows:
The members of the police juries
Of the several parishes throughout
the State hereafter to be elected,
shall possess the same qualifications
as members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and also the following
additional qualifications: they shall
be able to read and write and shall,
each, own in his own right, or
whose wife shall own in her own
right, property of en- assessed value
of at least two hundred and fifty
dollars in the parish for which they
may be elected.
Under the constitution every
elector who has reached the age of
Is years is eligible to the General
Assembly, provided he has been a
citizen of the State for five years,
and an actual resident of the parish
70 which he may be elected for two
years preceding his election.

MISSISSIPPI" says Sam Jones, "has the
best election laws in the South. They
tried the shotgun regime, and the stuffed
ballot box. for good while; they found
they we're periuring their young men and
officials, and that it wonld not do. They
saw that it was cruel to use the shotgun,
80 they called q constitutional conven-
ton and made it law that no man could
vote in Mississippi unless he could read
any paragraph in the constitution OF the
State, or understand it If read TO him.
Therefore they do not use shotguns nor
stuff the ballot box, but Mississippi goes
Democratic overwhelmingly, and they are
saved from perjury and murder by con
stitutional clause"
The constitutional amendment,
passed by the late Democratic leg
islature, is modelled after the Mis-
sissippi law, and no unprejudiced
and fair man will say it is not a
good law, conceived in justice and
patriotism and passed with the sole
view of good government. The
chances for fraud are three times
less than under the old law, and
the purity of the ballot is about
as carefully guarded as it is posi-
BILE for human ingenuity to devise.
It will be adopted whenever sub
mitted to a vote.

The movement of. the industrial
armies has emphasized one fact, at
least, and that is the fact through
out the length and breadth of this
broad land of liberty, there are
thousands of people who have no
more idea of that ''self-help, which
smiles" than they have of the kind
of 'life, liberty and pursuit of hap
piness" guaranteed by the consti-
tuition to those who intelligently
seek it. They are shiftless, thought
less, dependent, incapable of man.
agement for themselves, and the
Mecca of all their earthly JOY and
the extent of their highest ambition,
is to be bossed by some Coxey
Smart-Alex, bidding for cheap
glory in fustian and cheap feathers,
in a poor house tramp over the
highway of the nation. Born in
lowliness, reared in lowliness, and
never ambitious to rise above their
lowly inheritance, they present a
sad destiny that is UNNECESSARILY
unreconciled to the original pro-
gressive principles of American
institutions. For such mass to
pass in review, tramping and beg
ging their way to Washington, is a
farce, humilating to industry,
economy and common sense; and a
condition no self-respecting citizen
should stoop to, be he ever SO poor
or humble Shreveport Times.

Nothing Like Being Hopeful.

Our Populist friends. are the
easiest elated people in the world.
At the Alliance meeting in Natchi-
toches on the 7th instant, at which
only about one-third of the parishes
of the State we're represented, they
barely prevented the Democrats
from committing the order to the
support of that party, and could
not capture it for themselves, al
though they brought all their big
guns to bear.
Granted, for the sake of argu-
ment, that the Populists could con-
troll 20 out of % parishes represent
ed at Natchitoches, even then they
would have 40 of the 60 parishes
in the State against them, and
could hardly be regarded a serious
factor in the management of State
affairs. But the real truth is, they
cannot hope to control more than
three or four parishes out of sixty,
and their strength in the State at
large is about one to fifteen.
They are laying the fattering in
junction to themselves that Demo-
Gratis are growing scarce. Bless
their innocent souls, all this fuss
and squabbling among Democrats
is only about the best and quickest
way to bring about the very "re-
forms" they say will benefit the
people! And, whenever an election
comes on, they will find Democrats
as thick as feathers on a duck, and
when the storm of ballots is over
they will be more completely snow
ed under than ever. The mistake
our Populite friends make is in
forgetting that the Democrats con-
stitute very large proportion of
"the people" Another mistake is
in supposing that they constitute a
National or State factor, whereas
their control is limited to few
parishes, in which their strength is
exerted for the personal advantage
of a few astute politicians.
