A young colorsd philosopher was

to do less and not get so much, than
to do more and not get enough. -

It is said that one OF the changes
contemplated by the constitutional
convention is the substitution Of the
word county" for ''parish" in
designating the different portions
Of the State. Louisiana is unlike
any State in using the word parish,
ana the attempted departure from
the old title will. It is thought,
bring on controversy.

To read them one would suppose
that the eulogies delivered in Con-
gress over deceased members were
heard by a large audience full Of
deep emotion. As = matter OF fact
they are generally delivered to al
most empty seats, or more likely
printed by leave without having
been delivered at all. This is one
of the time llonored pious frauds

The Constitution and
Education.

A number Of the country papers
want TO know what the Constitu.
tional Convention will do for the
public schools. Their views are
thereon expI essed as follows by
one of them, the Catahoula News:
What will the State Constitutional
Convention do for the public schools,
is still an important question.
There is one thing it can do, and
that is provide 4 means by which
to run the schools. We should
either have six months public school
term each year or none at all, and
It would be far better to have nine
months. The public school sytem
of the cities where they provide
revenue by special tax is about as
good in Louisiana as anywhere, but
the country people, the masses who
cannot reach permanent schools at
the cost Of two or three hundred
dollars year for each student, are
the people whom the State should
sssist. So long as our school svs-
tenn remains as it is, we will be con-
fr0nted with the same problem, ig-
norance and responsibility among
the masses. 1t is time our people
who are interested in education
should bring this matter to tue
front"
The Others speak IN very much
the same language, and the press has
certainly spoken out for better
schools and . more liberal provision
for education. II the candidates
for delegates have not discussed
this feature of the new Cons;ition
to any very great extent, 1t is be-
cause the problem OF suffrage ie tie
more important, and the more diff
cult. Naturally they have dicussed
the latter first, for it is to consider
il that the convention il called; but
nearly all those who have spoken
have declared that education and =
reformed and improved judiciary
come next to the suffrage in impor-
lance, and they promise to give
these matters their most careful
consideration as soon a. the suf-
fragc is disposed Of
1t was the same with the Missis-
sippi Constitutional Convention.
which, however. had no judiciary
problem to VERY it. The most
difficult matter for that body to
settle next to the suffrage, and
which it undertook as soon as the
former was disposed Of, was proper
provision for the support Ut the
schools. The position assumed by
Senator George that the State,
when it required ali educational
qualification for the electoral fran
ch,se, undertook that every chlld
should have . chance to read q
write, and that no one should lie dis
franchised through neglect, was a
high and honorable one, and Louisi-
ana, We hope, will be guided by
the same sense of honor.
An educational suffrage qua!iti-
cation must 60 hand in hand with
such ample provision for the pub
lie schools that all the youth Of the
State will be provided for. Al
though little has been said OF the
subject, this, we feel assured, is
tue popular view Of the matter :
That the State must provide for the
education Of all its youth il it makes
reading and writing necessary for
the ballot.

| Farmers Soliloquy.

To be or not 20 be . big farmer,
that is the question. Whether it is
the best to own all the land that
joins the farm, and feed and care
for enough horses and mules to tend
the land, including enough colts to
take the places Of worn ont ani-
mails to keep . large herd of cattle
to eat the forage crops, and hogs to
eat the grain crope, Is . question tor
the professors to answer. We
must consider that hired help is q
factor expenses sre much greater.
The general manager must be up At
4 o'clock in the morning, and be
generous as the Irishman expressed
it, and give his hired man and wife
sixteen hours t., do days work in.
He must also maintain the round OF
agricultural effort 365 days IN the

held two general conventions to
discuss the low price of cotton and
the consequent financial depression
of the cotton-growing districts, but
they got little consolation except
through sympathy. They were
brought face to face, too. with a
spector of which they had heard
and in which they had tried to DIS
believe. 1t is a species of cotton
plant, brought from Africa, that is
erect, very tall and without limbs,
and averages about six times as
many hollis to the plant as the
variety in generel use. From the
seed from single stalk, planted in
1894, there Is now SEED enough u
plant four square miles, and the
man who has it has raised three
and a half bales TO the acre, or
more than six times the average
cotton yield, and the fiber is
said to be Of superior quality
