No Change Wanted.

We have it on good authority that an
effort will he made at the next meeting
of the State central committee OF the
Democratic party t0 change the basis OF
representation allotted to each parish by
agreement obtained by vote of the peo-
pie in 1892. 1t is claimed that this effort
will be made in the interest OF Gov. FOs-
ter, thus allowing his friends in the big
negro parishes, on their number, to send
large delegations to the convention TOR
him. This. in our opinion, is all wrong,
and should not be sanctioned at all.
As far as we are concerned we are grow
ing heartily tired OF chicanery in the
management of our public affairs; OF set
ting aside the will and expressed desires
OF the people by cunning devices and
st rateQic movements. Louisiana has 80
been ridden by politics until the hearts
and consciencies of many have long since
been unresponsive to the appeals OF their
better natures, but have been ever ready
to surrender their wills to the te achings
| of the common idea that all acts, how
ever INSCRIPTIONS, are justified BY the
ethics OF politics. But this should not
| be 60, and We move that the people turn
over a new leaf and pay some regard to
| manhood, Justice and fair pIay.- Shreve-
port Progress.
We somewhat douot the authority up
ON which Bro. Hicks bases his charge Of
a change being attempted in the basis
OF representation. Be this rs it may, we
are heartily with him in opposition to
any such move; and it should condemn
any man or set Of men, in whose interest
it may be attempted. On several occa'
sious we have pocketed our indignation
'for the good of the party" but we take
it forbearance in this line has ceased
to be virtue. We profess to be Dem
ocrat from principle, but in whatever
measure principle is violated, in tina
measure We have decided We are freed
from party allegiance. II we cannot vii
fairly. we prefer to lose; and now Civ
ample notice that we are for Reform, witt
big r, and while we do not propose t.
60 over to the enemy, We shall exercise
mastery inactivity in behalf OF the mex
Democrat we think has secured his nom
ination by unfair measures

We notice that the La. Populist
of last week reproduces letter Of
Mr.. j. T. Howell to the Picayune,
and, comments thereon very sagely,
but it wisely refrains from printing
the Pics reply thereto, which shows
conclusively that Mr.. H. reasons
from a purely hypothetical basis,
and that the making of legal ten
der is one thing, and the establish
ment of Recognized commercial
value is quite another. It this
is not SO, why is it that the money.

THE IRON TRADE.
Increased Labor Cost the Main Faoter in
IuIrnlnrinns.

Calculations.
Cleveland, O., May 9.-The Iron
Trade Review says: Increased labor
cost is the main factor in calculations
as to the future of The iron trade. Fur
mace men in the Mahoning and Shenan-
20 valleys who produce the bulk OF the
Bessemer iron that goes upon the gen
erdl market have had a succession OF
strikes the past week. The New Cas-
tie trouble was settled by giving the
men an increase Other valley fur
naces voluntarily granted ten cents a
day advance. which Mahoning valley
furnace employees accepted. In the
SheuangO valley strikes were started
for an additional advance of ten cents.
One furnace yielded. and the prospect
rs that 6y the time all are running the
labor cost CT q ton of pig iron will be
from 10 TO % cents higher than it was a
week ago
The increased cost of making valley
iron has made Bessemer frmer, and
Sl25 at furnace. or $1,000 Pittsburg,
has been refused Little business has
been done at any figure. Steel billets
show little activity, but mills are firm
in the main al $3.50. The week just
ending has done more than any other
. To- convince The few remaining skeptics
that the day of lowest prices is at an
end
There is no evidence as yet that fur
naces kept cut OF blast by the low prices
are preparing to resume. The advance
is not enough to be tempting y wage
struggle that is already entering into
calculations for the third quarter OF
the year is that which will follow the
Amalgamated Associations meeting in
/ Cleveland. There ale evidences that
/ the campaign for the restoration OF
/ prosperity wages is to be very much

initely postpone being carried by a
vote of Sc to Is. There was a general
debate on the BILL the country and
city members being divided. Repre-
sentative Boobar warmly supported the
bill, while Representative Robillard OPP
posed it. When it was officially stabbed
Mr.. Boobar suggested as an amend
ment to call it the salvage corpse"
bill.
Mr.. Feig called up his bill declaring
a forfeiture of the unearned railroad
land grants, coming under the provision
of the law of 1865, and effecting the
grant of the Minneapolis & st. Cloud
railroad. An amendment by the author
of the bill was adopted, perfecting the
measure in detail, and as amended it
was recommended to pass.
The committee on mines and mining
submitted substitute for Mr.. Johns
bill to encourage home manufacture
of iron, the bill providing for a re-
duction of the royalty on all iron ore
smelted in the state, the substitute
being recommended for favorable ac-
ton at the hands of the house. Repre-
sentative Schurmeier's prison labor bill
was made a special order for next
Tuesday, at o'clock, to be considered
in connection with bill by Mr.. Jacob
son treating of the same subject.
The committee on claims reported
back bill to reimburse the parties to
contests for seats in the house of repre-
sentatives, and although the bill came
in at a late hour, it was very generally
discussed Messrs. Boobar and Feig
made a successful fight to add to the
list of benefciaries the name of Mr..
Harries, who contested the seat of Re-
preventative Chisholm, an amendment
being adopted which gives Mr.. Har-
'ries "rake-off'' of $455.
Mr.. Robbins protested very vigor-
,ously against what he considered the
exorbitant award of the committee, and
made an unsuccessful attempt to re-
Sluce Mr.. Furlong's claim $500. He gave
snotice that he would soon introduce
a bill to limit the amount that could
be allowed as attorneys fees in such
cases, so that not more than $500 could
be appropriated for that purpose.
| The amount finally allowed, as the
bill is recommended to pass, is as fol-
lows: Furlong, $1,S00; Allen, $3.50;
Chisholm, 5000; Haines, $i55. The claims
of Messrs. Furlong. and Allen were
each scaled about $500 by the commit
tee, the claim of Mr.. Gerlach not being
considered.
The speaker called the attention of
the house to the new rule for meeting
at $50 a. M, very few being present at
that hour yesterday.
representative Feig expects to intro
duce today a bill providing for the
adoption of the Torrens system of land
| transfers.
