elasticity to the organs that bear the bur

and almost painless. 1t completely ban

TO DlSFRANCHISE NEGROES.
Louisiana Votes for a Constitutional
Convention with That End in View.

New Orleans, Jan. ia general cleo
tion was held throughout Louisiana today
on the question of holding a constitu-
tional convention. At the same time that
the voters voted for or against a conven-
tion they chose delegates, so that in case
the convention was approved it could meet
at once without the necessity of a new
election.
There We're 134 delegates to be elected
36 for the state at large and 9S from
the several representative districts. The
convention was called by the legislature
at its last session, and the call was ap-
proved and indorsed by the Democratic
party with the avowed purpose of press
ing a suffrage qualification that would
disfranchise the negro.
The Populists combined with the Re-
publcans in opposition to the convention
on the ground that the Legislature had no
right to restrict it and prohibit it from
touching certain matters. A joint Popu-
Republican ticket for delegates at
large was nominated, composed equally
of members of the two parties. Nearly
all of the white Republicans, however,
either combined with the Democrats or
supported the Democratic candidates for
delegates in order to get rid OF the
negroes as voters.
The election, which was held under the
Australian ballot law, passed off without
In New Orleans not over 40 per cent of
the white vote and 10 per cent. of the
negro vote was polled. The proposition
to call the convention carries the city by
n majority of 5000 and the Democratic
candidates at large by 1900. In the sew
eral election districts the Democrats were
successful over the Republicans and In
dependents by large majorites except
two, the First and the Fifteenth, where
the result is in doubt
The same lukewarmness was shown
throughout the state and small vote was
cast. The convention has carried the
state by majority of SO. 600 and a Demo-
cratic ticket at large is elected by 4O,aO0
The indications are that the convention
will consist of 10 Democrats 10 Populists,
6 independents, sugar Republicans, who
will vote with the Democrats for an edu-
cational qualification to dsfranchise the
negro, and regular Republicans. There
will be no negro in the convention.

A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.

A dictionary containing the definition
of 10000 of the most useful and import
ant words in the English language, is
published by the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schnectady, N. Y. While it
contains some advertising, it is a COM
plete dictionary, concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has been
taken to omit none of those common
words whose spelling or exact use oc-
casions at times a momentary difficult
ty, even to well educated people. The
main aim has been to give as much
useful information as possible in a
limited space. With this in view,
where noun, adjective and verb are all
obviously connected in meaning, usual
ly one only has been inserted. The
volume will thus be found to contain
the meaning of very many more words
than it processes to explain.
To those who already have a die
tionary. this book will commend itself
because it is compact, light and con-
venient; to those who have no die
tionary whatever, it will be invaluable.
One may be secured by writing to the
above concern, mentioning this paper,
and enclosing two-cent stamp. ~
