Notice to Voters.

Notice is hereby given that The rcgs'ra-
ton Office will be opened during the
months of June and July and those WI"
wish to register under section tive of the
new constitution urged to call at ,hc
Office and have their names placed upon the
permanent roll. For the Information OF
,ha: class of voters section five, as adopted,
is reproduced:
'sEo male person who was on Jan. 4,
1867, or any date prior thereto, entitled t"
vote under the constitution or statutes of
any State of the United States, where he
then resided, and no son Or grandson OF any
such person not less than 1wcnty-one years
Of age at the date of the adoption of this
constitution, and person Of foreign birth,
who shall have been naturalzed prior tothe
Ist day of January, 1898, shall be denied
the ri uht to register and vote in this State
bv reason of his failure to possess the c!u-
catinnal qualifications prescribed by this
constitution; provided. he shall have re
sided in tins State for five years next pre-
ccetliru the date at which h. shall apply for
registration, and shall have registered in
accordance with the terms of this article
prior to Sept. I. 1893, and no person shall!
be entitled to register under this section after
said date.'

already organized. The govern
| ment should not have mustered
these regiments into the service I'M
til it had raised all the men need
ed to Gil them, but having done SO it
will now find it somewhat diff cult
to secure enough recruits to fill up
the ranks to the maximum standard.
Every American citizen naturally
feels that it is his right to have a
voice in the selection Of the officers
who are to be placed IN command
Of him and into whose hands he
must, to certain extent at least,
surrender his liberty, and to ask
him to do differently is to prefer
request which is not likely to be re-
ceived by him with uproarious en-
thusiasm. a recruiting officer
might, in the course of time get 900
recruits under such conditions, but
he will find it long aud tiresome
lob before he finishes with his work.
Every volunteer desires to know
that he stands at least fair show
to become an officer of some rank
or grade even though he may not
aspire to any such position, and to
shut him off from any such possi-
biiity save by the death of some Of
the officers is not likely TO promote
enthusiastic response on his part.
Lake Charles Press: This is one
reason why the war is not pushed.
Another: and a great reason, is that
the army has no head. ''Hul'man
Car BERTH Miles has no authority,
and even if he had he has no ability.
Were he like Grant he would have
said, ''To hell with your war board,
III fight this war." But no, he IS
subservient to the millionaire luu.-
Der dealer who deserted his post
during the civil war and went home.
Such is the real hea,, Of the army.

PUBLIC OPINION.


over at Mobile say they are getting
in their work Of avenging the Maine
by grubbing stumps and building
roads, and those who never did
days work in their lives and whose
hands are badly blistered think they
have had their share of revenge. If
it is a consolation to any of the
boys to know that soldiers before
them have performed the same du-
ties, we will assure them it is SO.
We will never forget the look Of
surprise on the faces of the Delta
Rifles when they were given axes
lack thicket. <'Work," said one,
sswe are gentlemen, and if work is
to be done we'll send home and get
niggers" s:Niggers be d >"
said an old soldier, ':pick up your
spades and get to work. SO
stunned were some of the boys at
this announcement that 1T took
weeks to recover, and "Starch'
hasn't gotten over it yet.
Baton Rouge Advocates: And
now the negro regiments which it is
proposed to raise have caught the
infection and are kicking aud clam
oring to be allowed to elect their
officers. 1t is quite probable that
this experiment OF the government
with negro troops will result in
mucn greater amount Of friction
than the government imagines,
and unless the matter be carefully
handled great de noralization to
the army may be the result. One
thing is quite certain, the Southe rn
white troops and the negroes can
never mix without the fur flying in
many directions at the same time.
Daily States: From the FIRST and
still, we have been opposed to this
whole negro business. 1t is bound
to have very serious results. The
enlistment Of negro troops in the
United States army to fight in
foreign war is but another phase OF
the dastardly crime embodied in
the XIV and XIV amendments to the
Federal Constitution. Notwith-
standing all the hogwash the South
has lately INDUCED in, about "Old
Glory" returning Of battle flags,
closing Of the bloody chasm, ETC.,
no word Of the North has been
raised IN favor Of the abrogation Of
these atrocious and damnab1c
amendments, which were designed
to favor political and social equality
in the South. On the contrary,
while Southern men are arming and
ma rching to the front, the Score
tary Of War refuses a regiment Of
white men, raised by Col. Wickliffe,
very gallant gentleman, and sends
an officer Of the regular army here
to raise regiment of niggers.
St. Mary Banner: Broussard is a
Democrat believing in modern
protection for all the industries Of
the United States that need it. He
is not a bounty advocate nor high
protectionist, nor is he a free trader
He openly stated in his campaign
for Congress that he would vote for
prot ection to the sugar industry Of
Louisiana. In dong SO he has but
fulfilled his promise to his constit-
uents. For this he is to be hon
ored, not reviled. Friend News,
do you not see that you are winning
votes to Broussard instead Of es-
tranging them by your attack upon
him You are somewhat like the
ancient Greek that wished to have
the noblest of Athenians banisled
because every one sang his praises.

half Of the population Of Cuba are
negroes and the United States is
fighting Spain as much for the negro
