the overturning 81 the levee system
as now organized. The projection
of the alluvial districts against
overflow is the very life. of the rich
est and most fertile districts OF our
State. The present system, by
which the levees are maint aimed,
is the out-growth of many years of
experience, and the district organi-
and issued many hundred thousand
dollars of obligations, which are
now outstanding, and through the
instru mentality of these districts,
an effective control of the floods of
the Mississippi is rendered possible.
No citizen of either the lowlands or
hills would wish to have the con-
vention disturb this system.
ttThe next Limitation secures
every person now holding Office,
state, parish, city and district, from
disturbance of his term by the con-
vention. This eliminates from the
election of delegates and from the
deliberations of the convention the
question of Office getting. Consti-
tutional Conventions have been
used as fruitful opportunities for
exploiting the claims of aspirants
for office and for the advancement
of the political fortunes of prospec-
tive candidates, and are a ready
resort of defeated political parties
for a new trial of their strength by
another election, in which they have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose.
t.While this inhibition was for
the purpose of protecting the con-
vention from such influences, at the
nor just that the parties who have
been duly elected under the organic
instrument of the state, for term
of years, should have their term of
Office curtailed by convent on
called with no reference to the per-
sonnet of the office-holder but for
the grave and important purpose of
framing an organic instrume nt.
eff this convention were author
lied to terminate the present tenure
of Office throughout the State, be-
lieve the prime object for which it
has been called would be over
Swallowed and subordinated to the
attitude of delegates with reference
to local aspirants FOR State, district
and parish office, and they would
be selected and chosen with this
view.
"The next Limitation pertains to
the lottery question. This issue IS
in the dead past and I take it for
granted that no we'll wisher in Lou
isiana desires that this que ssion,
which caused so much strife within
our borders, should be reopened.
:The next restriction concerns
the removal of the Capital from
Baton Rouge. The Legislature,
after full and earnest discussion of
this question, thought it wise to re-
frain from injecting this issue in the
campaign for the convention, and
whatever may be the difference of
view upon this subject it certainly
ought not to interfere with the cali
ing of a convention to deliberate
upon the serious problems confront
ing our people to-day.
stThese are substantially the re-
strictions which the people are
called upon to place upon this con-
vention and no one can justly COM
plain of them.

and concise statement in which he
gives reasons why the coming Con-
stitutional Convention should be
limited, if held. A careful reading
of this review will, no doubt, prove
interesting. The Governor says:
seThere seems to be popular
error on this subject. The legis-
Iature has placed no limitation
upon the convention. In fact, the
legislature has not even called a
convention. The legislative act
simply provides for an election by
the people to determine whether
they desire a convention,..limite in
certain respects, or not. If ma
jority of the people vote tyea,' they
vote for the limited convention and
SO instruct their delegates who are
bound by these instructions. If, on
the other hand, a majority of the
people do not favor limited con-
vention, they vote no. So you
will see that the legislature has
eonfined this entire subject to the
people and their decision will be
final. AS matter of historical
interest, it might here be stated
that when the subject of calling a
constitutional convention was
under discussion at the last session
of the general assembly, there was
an honest difference of opinion,
among Democrats, as to the wisdom
of this move. Some thought the
Australian ballot system offered
sufficient remedy for the evils of
unrestricted suffrage and the proper
conduct of elections; others believed
that this remedy was only tenn
porary, and that the suffrage should
he permanently fixed in the organic
law. ..-
.'The Republicans and Popu1ists,
for political reasons, then as now,
favored the calling of convention
with unlimited power.
Gas a compromise between the
conflicting views of the Democrats,
the present act was passed., sub
hitting the whole question to the
people. do not think that there
was single true Democrat in the
legislature who favored a conven-
ton with an unlimited power. Be
that as it may, I believe the restric-
tons, upon careful consideration,
will be found eminently wise and
proper and commend them
selves to the favorable action of
the people. Let US see: The first
Limitation prevents the scaling or
reputation of the public debt, prin-
cipal or interest, state, parish, dis
trict or municipal. l am sure no
right-thinking man wishes to dis
turb the adjustment of the state
debt or make it possible to sh axe
the public confidence in our dis
trict, parish or municipal obliga-
tons. After years of struggle, the
public credit, both state and local
has been placed upon a solid
footing. Millions OF dollars have
been invested in these securities,
and they underlie every financial
institution in the State. If they
were open to attack we would have
months Of financial and business
disturbance, even if nothing worse
came of the agitation.
tsThe second limitation refers to
the rate of taxation as now fixed
by the constitution, declaring that
such rate shall not be increased.
The present constitution limits
taxation, for state purposes, to six
mills, and the revenues derived
from this tax and the licenses are
amply sufficient to meet all the
expenses Of the state government,
honestly and economically admin

The Republicans themselves are
now admitting that as revenue
getter the Dinglev tariff bill is a
dead failure.
When in August and September
and October the revenues fell far
below the expenditures for those
months, they set down the deficit TO
the account of the large anticipa-
tory importatlons of foreign goods
which had been made during the
spring and summer months to take
advantage of the lower taxation OF
the Wilson act; but, of course, the
pretext of "anticipatory importa-
tions' could not last all the time.
and the Republicans finally avowed,
and planted themselves square on
the avowa1, that the effect of the
s'anticipatory importations" would
have ended in November, and that
the revenue of that month would be
a sample of the yearly revenues
which the Dingley act would yield.
WE'LL, November has come aud
gone, and the treasury has been
compelled to make the embarrass-
ing admission that the revenue for
that month was no nearer equaling
the expenditure of the month than
had been lhe case in the three pre-

CHINESE QUICK CALCULATOR.

Orado CuriO Dealer.
Charlie Chan, a Chinese curio dealer
of Colorado Springs, Col, is mathe-
matician whose ability to solve the most
intricate of problems with almost
lightning capacity, by use of Chinese
abacus, has just come to light, says the
Boston Transcript. Some eastern tour
lists made purchases of Chan the other
day aggregating S3s9.s2. These pur-
chases ranged from cents to $35. The
Chinaman took his rack and before the
tourists were aware he was counting
had the correct result.
This excited the purchasers to ask
questions about the mode of calcula-
ton, and to give Chan sums to do. The
party found that the merchant from the
orient had marvellous talent in hand
ling figures. College professors were
told of the prodigy, and to satisfy them
selves went to his shop to put him to a
test. Problems, ponderous and in
tricate, were given to him, but he
proved equal to them all and displayed
a dexterity in handling his beads and
an accuracy in computation that caused
the professors to pronounce him a
wonder. Chan is regarded as the
wealthiest Chinaman in Colorado and is
a successful business man of 35 years of
age. He proudly traces his ancestry
back for 1000 years. His musical talent
is also remarkable.

To BE Put on Exhibition ut the
Omaha Fair.
A "Tom Thumb" train, so called be-
cause it is supposed to- be the smallest
in the world, is to be exhibited at the
,Trans-Mississippi exposition at Omaha,
reports the Pittsburgh Dispatch. It
was constructed by young man, who,
without any technical training, made
all the patterns, did all the casting, and
put together the whole train with his
own hands. The engine weighs $50
pounds. It's length, with tender, is G
feet ne inches. The length of the cylin-
der is ~ by 21s inches. The driving
wheels are inches in diameter, and vet
the locomotive hauls six observation
cars, i'm each of which two children can
becomfortably seated. Thesecars are Al
inches long and IA inches wide, and
covered after the fashion of the ordinary
observation car. The entire train, con-
sisting of engine, tender four observa-
ton cars, one box car and a caboose.
is but 20 feet in lenth. Six gallons of
water in the tender tank and five in the
boiler will furnish steam to propel it
for two hours. Coal is hauled and
shoveled out OF the tender in the ortho-
dox manner. In fact, the little engine
is complete in miniature in every detail.
Instead OF using oil in the headlight a
small electric battery in the engine
under the cab seat furnishes an mean
descent light, which is described as
sparkling from the pilot like the
diamond in hotel clerks shirt front.
