One of tho saddest signs OF the
time is the decadence of the home
idea. The home is divine institu-
ton, established by God in primeval
days, when the first pair were joined
together in welded life. It is within
its sacred precincts that man gath
ers virtue, courage and strength with
which to discharge fearlessly and hon
orably the duties and responsibilities
of life. 1t is in the home that
children are shaped into heroes and
heroines under the magic potency OF
q mothers influence. The home is
the reservoir of nations prosperity
and safety.

Honest Elections.
All The best and most earnest men

| All The best and most earnest men
IN tie State-tLe teen Wncse viaws
make public opiuion-are heartily in
favor of an honest ballot. The PEG
pie themselves demand it. We have
heard of no opposition, but if there
is any it proceeds from those who are
personally interested in the results of
fraudulent elections. We think it
may be safely said that the time has
gone by when the social and moral
influence Of the people Of Louisiana
can be depended on to squint at or
uphold the results of ballot manipu-
lation in the interests of cliques,
rings or parties.
Pablo opinion in Louisiana never
has endorsed election frauds, but
only during the past few years has it
begun to open its eyes to the thseat-
ening possibilities and demoralizing
results of dishonest elections. It is
now demanding that prompt steps
shall be taken to guard against fraud
and preserve the purity OF the ballot
box.
HRS THE "BULL's EYE.'-The
following sensible paragraph from
the Grenada (liss.) Sentinel will not
exactly suit the views of many men,
bers of the Louisiana Constitutional
Convention, but a majority of the
misrepreseuted people of the State
will agree with the editor of the Sen.
tinel:
"Back of the question of an elec-
tive judiciary there is the deeper one:
Is republican form of government
failure or success! If the people
are competent to govern themselves
that implies that they are capable of
selecting all their officials, executive,
legislative and judicial. There are
many persons who profess to have
lost confidence in the people. But
the people haven't lost confidence in
themselves by any means. The
chances are, therefore, that they will
continue to do business at the same
old stand"
The last Legislature of Mississippi
passed aresolution proposing amend
ments to the State Constitution max
ing Judges Of the Supreme, Circuit
and Chancery Courts elective. The
proposed amendments will be sub
mitted to the qualified electors of that
State, for ratification or rejection, at
an election to be held in November,
1899.
To adopt a former political express
sion, the Banner is in favor of the
proposed mississippi plan" And
we believe a large majority of the
Democratic voters of Louisiana are
in favor Of an elective Judiciary
from Chief Justice down to Justices
of the Peace. But will the people
secure the right to elect their Su-
preme aud Circuit Judges from the
Convention now in session? Not if
the Convention knows itself, and it
thinks it does. Before the war the
people Of the State elected their As
sociate Justices-if not the Chief
Justice--of the Supreme Court. But |
we had less practical politics " in
those days.
This article is written in no I'M
friendly spirit toward "the powers
that be-" We arc ssNicholls man"
from the crown of our head to the
sole Of our feet-from start to finish.
We prefer him as Chief Justice, Gov
ernor or United States Senator, to
any man in the State; but we also
prefer, ".frst, last and all the time,"
the expressed will of the majority of
the white voters of the State in every
