DOES he FAVOR A REFORM
ELECTION LAWa
Shreveport Progress.

Shreveport Progress.
Governor Fosters message was
generally complimented by friends
and foe of the administration alike;
while he was generously commended
for his warm recommendation of a
reform election law.
A reform election law was, and
is, popular measure all over the
State, and when the executive so
warmly espoused the cause himself,
the manly newspapers and men who
believed him sincere, as earnestly
congratulated him on the position
taken, while the sycophants and
lick-spittles made the welkin ring
with shouts.
But there is one newspaper which
was not hasty in lauding him with
encomiums, and that paper is The
Progress, which had learned to put
little faith in our governors public
declarations. This is due to several
causes. First, his failure to recog-
nize the young Democracy of Caddo
which gave him the parish, and
which he promised to consider.
Secondly, his combination with
Fitzpatrick, who hates an honest
election law as does Satan holy
water. Thirdly, the executives
desire TO succeed himself, which can
be done much more successfully
under the present mode of holding
elections.
That he is now governor by the
counting in and out process, Mr.
Foster must know, must always have
known. And having aspirations fol
second term which he can success
! fully manipulate under the old order
Of things. it is natural that he shouls
! desire continuation of it, especial

The G.. ID. Shaw of Natchez, which
has been making regular trips from
that city to Avoyelles parish and the
Atchafalaya country, charted by the
merchants of Natchez, took away on
her last trip 10 barrels OF sugar
from one landing. New Orleans is
not only losing the trade of that
country, but even its products that
necessarily found their way to the
Crescent City are now going North.
Natchez is called by the papers of
Avoyelles parish "the little Crescent
City, 1t may be small but its
growing, and her big grandmother
Is whitening away. Stir up your
selves, gentlemen OF New Orleans.

There is bill before the Legislature
now to increase the governors salary
from 81 900 to $4,000. The following
taken from the Farmersville Gazette
expresses exactly our opinion in this
matter:
Besides his salary of $4,000 free Of
house rent in comfortable and well
furnished mansion, the following APP
preparations are made by each legisla-
ture supplement- the governors cup OF
joy, and fill it nigh to overlooking: A
private secretary with q salary OF
50 900 annually; messenger for the
governors Office at a salary of $500; a
porter, salary $500; expenses of his
Office for kilograms, stationery, postage
and for other purposes 81 500; annual
travelling expenses in the state 5000;
salary Of keeper of the governor
mansion and grounds, $3.50; total
added to his salary, makes the neat
little sum of 50, $50. 1t appears to us
that this sum will enable the CHIEF
magistrate to keep the wolf at good
long distance from the door OF the
executive mansion.

When a college boy, Lord Rose

married the richest girl in England,
Miss Hanna De Rothschild, and on

glory; look out for tumble down.

The recent discovery that COM
pany had been formed in the City of
Mexico, which had for its object the
traffic in small children belonging to
the poorer families of the principal
cities OF Mexico, has produced q
sensation, and the authorities are
busy atswork ferreting out the heart
less plot. 1t has been developed
that the agents of the company Sc
cured a large number Of children,
some of them by kidnapping, and
others by the consent Of their ignor-
ant parents. The agents would pic
ture bright future for the children,
stating that the little ones would be
shipped to the Slate Of Yucatan and
there be provided with homes in the
families Of the rich people. just
what would have been done with the
children is not known, as the author
ities stopped the proceedings before
any had been shipped to the distan,
part OF Mexico. A large number
we're found at Vera Cruz, where they
were found awaiting the arrival Of .
steamer to take them to Merida, il
the state Of Yucatan.
