TIE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONTENTION.

Iensas Gazette.
In January of next year the voters
of this State will determine by their
suffrages whether or not consti-
tutional convention should be held
the following month.
While the present constitution
needs general overhauling, many
OF its provisions having been
framed to meet conditions which
no longer exist, it is perfectly we'll
understood that the main purpose
of the call is the reform of the
present suffrage system.
If there could have been in the
minds of the intelligent and pa
triotic citizens of this State any
doubt about the expediency or ne
cessity of a radical change from
the present system, the recent
course of political events should set
such doubts at rest.
t.The Solid South" was brought
about and maintained by the force
of two conditions only. Imme-
diately after the war the bitterness
engendered by that struggle was
sufficient in itself to bind the South
ern States in political brotherhood.
That feeling, if it exists at all
now, does SO to very tri1ing ex-
tent and is wholly insufficient to

Il GREATM MISFORTUNE.

The destruction of the Catholic
church at Carencro on the night OF
March 2S, can only be regarded in
the light of calamity. 1t will
prove check to enterprise and de-
termination, blow to people
that have sacrificed much and who
have worked with will that is sell
dom seen anywhere. Their means
and their time were limited, but
they gave freely of both that their
town might be in the lead, and that
they might possess a temple of
worship that many places of greater
Pretentlons could we'll be proud of.
But, if it was blow to them, what
was it to their leader, to their good
pastor, who has striven in every
way to help them in their purpose
whose very soul seemed wrapped
up in this work. There are few in
deed, who do not feel deeply i'm
pressed, and full of sympathy for
Father Laforest. They realize their
great loss, but fully understood how
much more it must effect the good
priest who sees his ambition shat
tered, and his glorious work a fail
ure.
Words are inadequate to express
the loss that it really is to Carencro.
The Gazette hastens to offer its
sincere sympathy to the people of
Carencro and particularly to Father
Laforest in the great misfortune
which just befell them in the de-
struction of their new church build
ing. Father Laforest has certainly
worked faithfully to give his people
a place of worship of which they
could we'll have been proud. Al
though not yet completed, it was
one of the most handsome struc-
lures of its kind to be found in the
State, and was the result of years of
labor on the part of Father La
forest, literally assisted by the
citizens of Carencro. Seldom has
a minister displayed as much devo- :
lion in behalf of his congregation, S
and it is due principally to his en-
ergy and perseverance that the {
building was on the eve of being +,

me as nearly $4,000 had been ex- t

lie calamity is exceedingly dis Il
eartening, but The Gazette be- Il
elieves that the plucky little town,
lad by the courageous priest, will c
enew its efforts with increased s.
igor and determination. b
Though now only a mass of de- "
ris, the magnificent edifce, as it

which secures 1t will control the
destinies of the State.
The negro will at once under
stand his Importance; will demand
and will receive recognition and
will dominate and control the or
ganization with which lie is allied.
In Louisiana the races are nearly
equally divided. 1t is within the
power of very few white men to
control the negro vote, and con-
trolling it they will either control
the State or there will be reyolu-
ton, bloodshed and death.
1t is within the power of the in
telligent people of this State,
through constitutional means, to
protect themselves against the
possibility of return to misrule,
corruption, and all the attendant
horrors of the reconstruction
period. They can accomplish, by
lawful and peaceful methods, what
once was brought about at sac
rifice of life and property. We
can now do what Mississippi and
South Carolina have already done.
and we hold it to be the solemn and
sacred duty of every man who be-
lieves in the fitness of the white
race to govern, who desires its su-
premacy and who loves good order
and good government, to put forth
every effort and energy to bring
about an affirmative result of the
election to be held in January,
1898, taking the sense of our
people on the proposition to hold a !
convention.
The ignorant and the vicious !
1oter must be eli minated by con-
and lawful means, else
louisiana must go back ward a
quarter of century in her progress
md her prosperity.
We owe this to ourselves, to
hose who have gone before and to
hose who are to come after us.

shape or control the political polio
of the Southern States in the future
Z The horrors of the reconstruction
period and the fear of negro domi
nation have, however, for the pas
twenty years subordinated all othe
political propositions and rendered
it absolutely necessary that tn,
white people of the South should
putting all other political or eco
nomical questions aside, remain
closely united.
| With the flight of twenty years.
embracing long period Of freedom
from negro domination, a new gen
Grafton of voters has come into ex.
istence. To most of these that aw.
full period ending in 1876 is mat.
ter of tradition, many of them were
never brought face to face with the
shameful era, and to them it is a
mere matter of history, a sad, hui
initiating page in the annals of the
South.
There is another class, not in
considerable in number, who while
actually participating in the politi-
cal events of the 1S68-1876 period
and with whom the recollection Of
those dark days is yet fresh, have
permitted themselves to be lulled
into sense of security by the mere
lapse of time, and in the absence of
careful analysis of the present con-
ditions, believe @tnegro domination
to be impossible in the future.
We believe it impossible for a
Louisianan, who loves his State and
desires its wefare, to fall into graver
error, or one which more surely
menaces the entire social and po-
litical fabric than that of believing
negro domination impossible or i'm
probable under the existing fran
chise regulations.
1t is manifest to the most casual
political observer that the Cauca-
slams of the Southern States, and |
Louisiana especially, can no
onger be held together upon the
Did lines. The disintegration of
'tthe Solid South" has begun, and
he old lines are being slowly, per-
laps, but most surely obliterated.
The tariff question alone would, in
lme, have worked the destruction
If the Solid South, and broken up
Ill old party affiliations and party
discipline; and it must be remem-
'ered that there has arisen within
he past year or two financial
question, which for intensity and
nd earn estness has no parallel
ince the discussion Of slavery.
Men of all shades Of political
pinion differ, and differ widely,
pom this question. They have
roken loose from the old moorings
nd formed new alliances. This !
-uitful source of discord added to
itterences upon economic ques-
ons points with unerring certainty
, further weakening of the bonds
hich have held the white men of
re South together for more than
airty years.
With the whites divided it is as
lear as the MONDAY sun that the
ruggle for the negro vote must

hich secures 1t will control the
Of the State.
The negro will at once under
