Louisiana-Again.

We warned our readers yesterday no,
to suppose that the boilers constitute
all the people in Louisiana. The follow
ing letter from a reliable source fully
confirms all that we said on the subject
The noticeable feature Of this letter Is
its statement that "three-fOurths of the
Democrats" in Louisiana ARE going "a
make their fight for protection within the
Democratic party" They must be true
Democrats who have come to this deter
m!nation. Read:
NEW ORLEANS. LA. Sept. 16 1891.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Undue importance has been given by
newspapers outside OF Louisiana to the
so-called sugar-planter movement lately
inaugurated al Donaldsonville. our Dem
Ocratic friends throughout the South
need have no fears that Louisiana Will
be turned over to the Republican party.
No; not yet awhile. and your readers
can rest assured that the Third District
Sugar planters STRONGHOLD will elect n
Democrat TO succeed Congressman Price,
and the chances are that Mr.. Price Will
be his own successor.
About one fourth Of the sugar-planters
of this State have decided 10 20 over
10 the party Of protection" but three
fourths are going to make their fight for
protection within the Democratic party.
The great majority of Louisianians will
remain true TO the traditions of the past.

We Sigh for Signs.

From time 10 time the Dispatch has
earnestly urged our City Council TO take
some action with regard TO displaying the
names OF streets at street-corners, so
that any one. stranger or resident, may
tell where he is at /"
OF old, the names of RichmOnd's streets
were placed on neat little sign-boards.
which were affixed to the outer walls Of
corner houses. Later tiny tin signs were
painted and placed in the gas-lamps;
where they could be seen night or day;
bat since our gas-lamps were supplanted
by electrlc-llght lamps We have had no
street signs at all. Considering our UNI
systematic street nomenclature, especially
in the West End. this puts many people
in Il bad fix. llr Marx Gunst. Of Monroe
Ward. has. however undertaken TO get
acton on the subject from the City Coun-
ell Committee on Streets, and we COM
mend his purpose. and wish him all sue
cess. And we may add that it is matter
OF far more consequence than would seem
from hasty view of the subject.

Tho Constitutional Amendment and the
Walton Lava Possible Hitch.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
There will be two tickets TO be voted
by each Virginia voter at the coming
electlon-one for members of Congress.
and the other for or against the con-
stitutlonal amendment"
The above is from Sundays Dispatch.
The following extracts are from the Act
Of the General Assembly approved Feb
ruary Y, 1894 entitled an Act to Provide
for the Submission to the People of the
Proposed Amendment to the Tenth Clause
OF Article ! OF the Constitution OF VIZ
ginia, etc.
'Be II enacted by the General Assembly
OF Virginia. That II shall be the duty OF
the officers conducting the election di-
rected by law to be held on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday In Novem-
Der. eighteen hundred and ninety-four,
at the places appointed for holding the
same, to open Il poll 10 take the sense
Of the qualified voters OF this Common
wealth upon the ratification or rejection
Of the amendment TO the Constitution OF
Virginia." etc.
AT such election each of said voters
who shall approve said amendment shall,
on the ballot which he uses TO vote at
such election, have written or printed the
words. For the amendment 10 the Con-
StltltlOn ana tdtU VI Stsid WIZ
shall be opposed to said amendment shall.
on the ballot which he uses TO vote at
such election. have written or printed the
words. Against the amendment TO the
Constitution

vide for the Method Of Voting by Ballot"
approved March G, 1894. says; THE ballot
shall be a white paper ticket. containing
the names OF the persons who have com
piled with the provisions OF this act as
hereinafter provided. and the title OF the
Office as hereinafter provided None other
shall be a legal ballot" The nineteenth
section SAYS: "All acts or parts OF acts
I'm conflict with this act or any section
thereof are hereby repealed" Does this
repeal the schedule In the act OF February
18th? How much may be written on
the legal ballot" without vitlating 1t?
These questions are not asked In a
spirit Of controversy. but that II there be
anything in them worthy Of notice. they
may be answered in time. 1t seems plain
that the act of February 18th looks TO
the use Of only one ticket. The Walton
law make no provision for the submits
sion of constitutional amendment.
Would 1t be hazarding too much TO guess
that not one member OF the Legislature
thought of this omission when the bill
was under discussion? When the hurry
and excitement Of the occasion are re-
membered. 1t need not be ned wonderful
that something was forgotten. u.

The Canadian Bank System.

Reference was made in the Bankers
Association OF Virginia the other day TO
the Canadian bank system. The Baltimore
Sun some time ago described that system
as follows:
"The May Forum contains an article
by Mr.. Wilkie, manager OF the Imperial
Bank Of G anada, descriptive OF the rules
and regulations governing the banks
OF that province Those banks are re-
stricted by no rigid; laws with respect
10 the notes they issue except In one
thing--the issue OF their notes Is practi-
cally limited to the amount OF their paid
In capital. But the distinguishing feature
is the conceded right TO retire and cancel
currency when II Is not needed and TO
reissue currency up TO the fun extent
Of their capital when II Is needed. The
rate OF interest Is low and uniform. and
IL no higher in Winnipeg than II is in
Montreal The circulation Is so distri-
buted through the agency OF the most
important banks and their branches that
there IL no scarcity OF money at any
point. II more currency Is needed any
where It IL increased. and often during
the busy months to the extent OF q
per cent. When 1t has performed It's
functions Il il withdrawn and cancelled,

larger accommodations occurs. This cur
rency. under the wise and conservative
administration Of the bank officers. unlike
our old State-bank issues. circulates
everywhere throughout Canada at par.
and Is said to be practically as sound
as the currency Of our national banks. !"
We quote again:
I'm the matter OF loans the banks are
given a much larger latitude than with
us. Practically. we are told most kinds
OF property. including real estate, may
be taken. directly or indirectly, as secu-
r!ty for loans. Direct loaning OF money
upon mortgage on real property is for
hidden. but such mortgages may be
taken 10 supplement other security. No
loans are made, az in our southern
States, on the hypothccaton of CROPS
yet to be raised-cotton, for instance
but the banks Will and do lend upon
crops after they are harvested and
housed Canadian banks voluntarily un-
dertake this function, charging but
moderate rate Of interest for the loans
they make. and A further interest on

held in store until they are withdrawn

Mr.. Meredith is an earnest, active. and
able Democrat No fault can be found
with him as a representative. Every m
tcrcst Of his constituents is well guarded
by him. Having district which Is sepd-
rated from the national capital by the

oftoner to make visits TO the departments
in search of places for his constituents

This laboriOus duty he has done with I'M
wearying patience. and with az much sue
cess as any other man could have hoped
for Nor nave any other duties of his been
neglected. These truths his people ap-
preciate. and his nomination for re-lec-
ton was made with unanimity, and we
expect him to win his seat for another
term By a majority which Will full
sustain the reputation OF the grand old
