Some may disagree as to the best
method of obtaining fair elections,
but we do not believe any will
be found to oppose the proposed
amendment to the constitution re-
stricting the right of vote to Amer
Jean citizens and to such aliens as
have lived here five years. Louis
iaaa- is one of the sixteen states in
which aliens are permitted to vote
after a few months residence. AS
it is, Dagoes who know nothing OF
our government, and care less, arc
allowed the same privileges accorded
the native Jouisianian.

Under this order of business, House bill
No 20, by Mr.. Mouton, relative to the
creation of a. railroad commission
taken up. MIR. Mouton moved that the bill,

Mr.. Snyder asked if the motion was in
eended to pass the bill TO its third reading
Upon being notified, he made Il motion,
as a substitute, that the bill be indefinitely
nf,stboncd. In defense of this motion, MIR.
Snyder said that he was II present to chal-
lcnge the cause of the railroads, but to dis
cuss the matter of the commission primarily.
The gentleman claimed that he wars in the
Assembly to represent the people of Tcnsas,
and that none of them were in favor of a
railroad commission bill. He cited the
fact that there were in the State twenty
two railroads, and that with single cxcey>-
,iDn mot one protest had been heard from
any Of the parishes through which railroad
progressed against the railroads of the State.

Victor Hugo's masterpiece, "Les
Miserables, "is perhaps better known
to American readers than any other
work of fiction written in a foreign
language, and his hold upon the
popular Imagination comes from
his large, intense sympathy with
every phase of human life. For
this reason many readers of the cur

The Rayne Ranger.
The United States is free coun-
try. 1t was on account of the ad-
vantages that the new world offered,
that the poor and oppressed of for
eign lands Came over the ocean to
make this country their home,
where they might be free to live,
and to worship in the manner that
their conscience dictated to them
was right. When this great govern
ment was founded it was on the
basis of .'equal rights to all, special
privileges to none" The gates Of
the United State were thrown open
to the oppressed of every CLINE,
and they were invited to come and
make this their home, where they
would find freedom in it's broadcast
sense
The Ranger has always felt deli
cacy in treating on any matters per
| tanning to sectarian religion. We
| recognize the fact that religion in its
different forms is a necessity for the
| development of true manhood and
! christian character. We desire how
ever to say something of certain or
ganization in this country called the
American Protective Association.
When this Association was first
formed it was by few hide-bound
partisans, and it did not create
much comment. But it continues
to grow in numbers and working in
secrecy all the time.
The Ranger considers this organi-
cation as an open enemy to our tree
country. 1t savors of anarchy.
5 Its object is to combine all pro
. testants together in secret wal
f against the Catholics. Every per
son who becomes member is re

pointment of delegates to the various
conventions as set forth in Saturdays
ARGUS, the committee on resolu-
tions, Messrs II. l.. Bullen, Wesley
Cain and Il. +. Hickinger brought in
its report which was adopted. These
resolutions declare that the liquor
traffic ought to be regulated by abso-

fines, mulcts. etc, are nothing more
than indulgences, looking to the in
increase OF intemperance and the kin
dred vices of lust and gambling.
Then the resolutions read as follows:
Political parties in abiect subser-

their platforms exhibit shameful ST.

mands the cessation of the liquor
curse and the entire separation OF the
state from partnership with the vices
OF the people; the only party that re-
lects the doctrine that revenue should
be raised out OF the ruinous vices of
the people: the only party that fear

The City's Position.
Mayor Medill replied in behalf of
the city, contending that the benefits
to come from the provemcnt of
this highway should be estimated on
the basis of effect similar improve
ments by special taxation had been
to other property. The point that
property was not enhanced in value
by paving was idle. The streets
leading into the city should he i'm

ti@uous to such Improvement should
pay the costs the same rs in other
localities in the city. 1t would not

to two-thirds OF the cost of this inn
provement. because large portion
OF the city is not benefited at all by
it. 1t is perfectly natural. the mayor
held. for any person to be assessed
in consequence OF an assessment
when given an opportunity to he

that his particular property would

yet LET the expense of that improve
ment fall to whomsocver it NAV. yet
let it be made. and let the property
holder afterward seek to sell his
property. and the paving improve
mont will be referred to as an ad-
vantage, and the cost will be added
in. too. when the sale is made.
