ON LILIHA STREET.

Just at about noon, Sunday, another
alarm of fire was turned in, this time
from a place in an alley on the Eva
side of Liliha, near School street, the
building being one owned by an old
Portuguese and occupied at the time
by Captain Thompson of the steamer
Ke Au Hou. The fire department ar
rived too late to do any good as the
whole house was in flames and brisk
wind blowing. However, the water
was thrown on to prevent spreading.
The story of the fire was obtained from
Captain Thompson, who spoke as fol-
lows:
well, about all l saved was couple
Of chairs. You see me as [ am in
pajams and coat. That's all [ managed
to save in the way of clothing and this
have the articles on me. Yes it makes
a good hot fire and one that will cost
me between two and three hundred
dollars as I haven't a cent Of insurance
on the place.
Glow the thing started, I haven't
the slightest idea. My wife and I were
sitting out in the kitchen when the
smell of smoke attracted my attention
I ran into the bedroom, threw open
the door and was greeted with a rush
of smoke and fire. I made a grab for
some things but I was completely
blinded by the smoke and saw that
all effort to save anything, was per-
fectly useless. We both rushed out of
the house and in a very few minutes
the whole place was in flames.''

HOUSES BURN
Flames Ca1lDepartment to
Two Different Localities.
First Fire in Russian Franks Estab-
lishment - Second, in a House
Occupied by Capt. Thompson.

Between II and 1 o'clock Saturday
night, an alarm of fire was turned in
from the corner of Queen and Rich
ards streets. The fire department hose
got around in good time and the flames
were found to be from a cottage in
Russian Franks establishment, a
little distance off Richards on Queen
street The fire had gained good head
way and all the firemen could do was
to prevent the flames from being COM
municated to other buildings immedi-
ately surrounding.
The cottage burned contained two
rooms, nicely furnished and was with
out dodgers. The fire started in the
front room and spread to the back one
Everything went to show that some
one had started the fire with a kero-
sene oil lamp, the contents of which
had been thrown on the sofa and chair
The upholstering of both these arti-
cles of furniture, had been burned out,
leaving only the frames. Although
the cottage was not burned to the
ground the scorching of the boards was
bad enough to render it completely
useless. There was no insurance
There were rumors about town yes
terday of incendiarism. A reporter of
this paper called at Russian Franks
house last night and cleaned from Mrs.
Ludovicko, the woman who runs the
establishment, the following story:
ct was about II o'clock Saturday
night when L was sitting outside of
the store on an easy chair. I was about
ready to retire, when a hack drove up
and from it jumped a man employed
on the Coptic. I had seen and heard
of him before and knowing him to be
a wicked fellow, was on my guard.
"He stepped up and asked me for a
room. I told him that I had no room
and repeated this time and again as
he insisted that he must have a room
L then went inside, put a lamp In the
front room and taking one into the
back part of the store, lay down on a
lounge to snatch few moments sleep.
"The man from the Coptic remained
outside and then went around to the
side where he asked of a sick man in
the back cottage, where I was. He
was directed to the room [ occupied
but did not come in. I found out to-
day that, when he left the sick man,
he spoke to two or three people about
the place saying, Look out for a bigl
fire.
Shortly after this, the alarm was
given and we all ran out, only to see
the cottage in flames. I am of the
opinion that the man, angeyed at my
him a room, walked into the
cottage and deliberately set the place
afire"

The press of the State appears to
pretty generally concur in the opin-
ion that the suffrage question is the
for adjustment before the constitu-
tional convention, and as result
various plans have been submitted
for consideration with that object
in view. 1t is curious to note, how
ever, that those papers that have
objected most strenuously to what
they term the t'one man power" in
this State are the ones which laud
most highly the Mississippi plan
which is the quintescence of the
zone man power" idea. Under the
understanding clause of the Missis-
sipPi constitution all the power is
concentrated in the registrar of
voters who, if he choose may de-
cline to register the governor of the
State or the Chief Justice of. the
Supreme Court. We hope our con-
vention will give US something
fairer and better than the under
standing clause of the Mississippi
constitution--Bato Rouge Advo-
cate. Dem.

newspaper excuses are still trying
to make themselves believe that he

PUBLIC OPINION
Reflected in the Papers of this
Great State.

Even under our present election
laws, which we admit, are not what
they should be, it cannot be said
that Louisiana has inferior or cor
rupt officers or public service of
very low grade, while it is we'll
known that our educational system
is among the worst. The politician
looks upon the people as machine
which he desires to keep in such
repair that by his ski!lful manipula-
ton, will turn out results to his
liking, and for that reason the suf-
suffrage question will come first
among politicians. But, would not
a system providing for the general
education, gradually raising the
standard of intelligence, do more
to better our political condition
than any suffrage law or provision.
The standard of state is not meas
ured by its election machinery, but
by the worth of the individual
F. Paddle, colored politician in
Lafayette parish, was placed in Jail
at Carencro Friday of last week for
insulting Judge Abbadie, a store
keeper in that town. At night

Jail and gave him a severe whip

town and stay out. Paddiois an

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The voters will be called on in the
want II constitutional convention. We
favor material changes in our constitute
ton, hut are not prepared to endorse Il
movement looking to the calling of Il
State convention at this time. One of
the changes needed is the reform of our
judicial sy stem, by which we shall get
competent judges to try criminal Ceases,
but this could he accomplished by leSis-
latiyc amendment with much less expense
and friction. To call constitutional con.
yentiou is to incur heavy expense. The
convention itself would cost not less
than 100000 y special session of the
Legislature would also be-.necessary to re-
model our laws to fit item to our changed
constitution. This would cost about
$3.50, 600. Then our code would have to
be revised and reprinted at heavy cost, so
all things considered the convention
would be II very expensive thing. Are
the people with the present financial pres
sure on them able to bear this additional
burden?
But there are other considerations that
would deter us from advocating conven-
ton at this time, which to our mind
carry great weight. The people are rest
less and yery..much mixed in politics. a
convention called now would be of very
uncertain character, whereas we should
have it made up of our very best mate
rial. Let us amend our constitution by
piecemeal and gradually perfect it rather
than risk another Underwood convention
