Legislative Day.
Alexandria Democrat.

Alexandria Democrat.
Last Wednesday was Legislative Day
at the Ruston Chautauqua. Governor
Foster was present, of course, and de-
livered an address. We reproduce from
the Ruston special Of July Goth to the
Times-Democrat, the following extract
from it, wherein, it will bel noticed, he
makes two important admissions, VIZ
that the Legislature-as claimed by the
maierity-passed no reform ballot law
and that the election machinery is to be
used to p~erpetuate the Democratic
Foster faction-party in power:
He defended the Legislature from the
attacks Of the press, and said that II
they had passed no good laws, it could
not truthfully be charged that they had
passed any bad one. But he argued
that many good laws had been passed
by the Legislature just adjourned. he
instanced tho increased appropriations
for the charitable institutions OF the
State and the one-eighth OF a mill IN.
crease for public education. he sald
that with the diverse views OF the Diff
ferent members of the General Assem-
bly,, a reform ballot law was impossible.
That so long as the Constitution liked
the qualifications tor suffrage, he was
opposed to any legislative act that
would abridge it; that as he head or
the Democratic party OF the State, duty
pointed him to thaF faith wherein the
election machinery, 80 long as it exist
ed, could bo used to perretuate the pow
er of that party that Ruston had cause
for congratuIatiou in the establishment
of the industrial school at this place aud
urgeu I'll to work in its behalf.
The Governors utterances-which
are luW frank toI the first time-sustain
the position of TIC Louisiana Democrat,
that he did not desire any reform OF the
election laws, that he was iDsincere-we
will characterize ii hi no harsher term
when he transmitted hi- special message
TO the legislature urging and advocating
in pathetic ianguigt--if not with tears
in his eycs-thu passage of a reform
election law. and ti"t! bis partisans in
the Legislature wei" aware of the true
state OF his feelings.
Hence. responsive tn the executive
wishes on the subject, this body at
tempted 10 impose on the credulity of
the people by the passage III what the
Governor now publicly p.oclaims, was
not IS real, but bogus measure Of reform
only.
W. an glad that lie Governor has
ayoWed himself so frankly, but we
utuSt StIti1o1 tUut We Aiu Ntt huoN ~
was one Of the duties with which the
Executive is constitutIopally charged,
to peram bulate the State in defense OF
a recreant Legislature, which had been
justly assailed by the press OF the State
with almost universal acclaim, for it's
sins. both of omission and commission.
While it may be charged by some not
over jealous Fosterites, that this por-
ton of the Governors address was OK
ceedingly inappropriate to the occasion,
there will be no dissent from the propo-
sition that he has conferred a benefac-
ton on the people, by showing his hand
thus early in the political game, which
is to be played in 1896.

Truly the world proaresses! In spite
of pessimists aud %croaking wise-heads,
the world grows better and wiser all
the time One hundred years ago., the
drink habit prevailed to an alarming
extent. Good deacops who sat in the

and thought themselves sincere in pray
ing THY kingdom come" disdained
not to take a mild toddy" on a cold
q hot summer day to cool 1t OFF.
Strange, was it not
Then the good parsons who preached
nightly-they didn't object In the least
to having a drop just "for the stomach's
sake"
And the "jolly fat friars" Of whom
poets tell us-how they dotted on the
bottle of Frances best vintage! How
rosy their faces grew and how round!
But the churches have now declared
themselves fatty opposed to drink,
drinking, drinkers and sellers OF drink.
The Protestant churches long ago
assumed an attitude Of. hostility to
liquor. Now the highest Catholic au-
thorities in America come over to the
same position and say " no saloon keep.

progress in the world of truth and

He said for women to ask their hus-

hence this writer concluded that twas

that education would render them
coarse, loud, masculine, pulled up

against the education Of woman as the
ource of her ruin physically and
