The Cstsxcns Ticket.

The new Registration law goes
into effect to-day. This law, like
the new election law, gives the par
ty controlling the machinery, ab-
solute power. BY manipulation
of this registration law, the igno-
rant can be disfranchised in some
places and registered in others,
Just to suit the whims of the pow
ers that be. Under the election
law, it was shown that the most
ignorant negroes were voted whole
sale wherever the ring desired it,
while white men we're disfranchis-
ed wherever the ring could. not
control their votes. In fact, the
new election law and the new reg
istration law are the most tyran-
nical and oppressive and partisan
measures ever enacted and give to
the party in power despotic sway
which will be used for self-per-
petuation.
1t is now said that there will be
an attempt to secure an honest
election for the delegates to the
Constitutional Convention. A
combination for that purpose will
be easily formed.
There is no kind Of doubt that a
large majority of the people favor
honest elections and will join in a
non partisan moyemement to con-
troll the convention. A citizens
ticket headed by such men as
Charles Janvier, j. Henry Shep-
herd, Henry Mccall, A. I. Mel
son, J. T. Howell and others who
possess the confidence OF every
worthy class of Louisianans would
make powerful fight and be over
whelmingly elected in a fair con-
test.
| But there Will be no fair con-
test. The men who control the
machinery and the negroes will
use them to carry the election for
delegates, They will have abso-
Lutte control of the convention and
will exact just such an organic law
as suits them. This is certain. 1t
lis self-evident in the light OF the
past.
/ Still we are in favor of fighting
wrong to the bitter end. 1t is bet
tier to follow truth and justice tc

The Drouth Sufferers.

Mr.. W. A. O'Niell, of st. Mary
parish, writes us inclosing letter
received from MI. A. ". Pollock,
Grant parish, both Of which letters
we publish elsewhere. Mr.. Stew
art, who was elected at a mass
meeting of the people of Grant
parish to solicit aid for the drouth
sufferers, tells of their condition
and their needs, and calls atten.
tion to the relief which should be
granted them If it is desired to
prevent great suffering in that
section.
The State has come to their re-
lief in the matter of corn, and is
supplying all that may be needed,
either free or at a nominal cost !;
but, as he remarks. this. is not
enough. The people cannot live
on corn alone, and cannot clothe
themselves with it. The complete
failure of the crops, preventing
them from making or saving any
money, left them without the means
of providing clouhing for their fam
lilies.
1t has been the desire Of the
drouth sufferers of North louisiana
not to advertise their misfortune to
the world, or to indiscriminately
apply for aid and assistance, They
have, with a proper spirit, prefer
red to confne their applications to
Louisiana. The State has come to
their relief with corn, and they
now ask the people Of South Lou.
isiana, who escaped the misfortune
Of a crop failure, to cooperate in
granting them relief, giving such
things as the State cannot.
Mr.. w. a, O'Niell, of st. Mary,
to whom Mr. Stewart first applied,
receives the project favorably, and
believes that the people of South
Louisiana will respond to the re-
quest for aid. 1t is true, he re-
marks that they themselves made
little profit on their last crop in
consequence of the low prices pre-.
vailing for agricultural products;
at the same time, they were sue
cessful in raising, comparatively
bounteous harvest. He is certain,
therefore, that the sugar planters,
of whom he is one, will be glad to
subscribe something for the relief
of their distressed fellow-agrlcultu-
rists, and he suggests that some OF
the leading planters call meeting
Of those engaged in sugar culture
and manufacture, and all those
who feel inclined to aid a good
cause, to take steps to raise fund
| to relieve such wants Of the drouth
sufferers as cannot be we'll relieved
| by the agents of the State govern
ment. Mr.. O'Niell's idea is al ex
cellent one, which we wasmly ap-
prove; but it is q matter where

should be taken at once.-Times
