The Maine catastrophe will soon
belong to the past. The bondhold-
ors want no unpleasantness, nor do
they want Cuba to be free unless
the new government accepts the
400 millions Of the Spanish Cuban
debt, and the government of the
United States endorses the pay
ment Of the bonds of that debt.
The blowing up Of the Maine will
be a question for a historian of the
next century to clear up. Moth
ing definite will come out now, as
the bCndholders and the Mckinley
administration do not want it, in
asrnuch as, If the full truth were
known, the people might be too
much aroused Washington, D.
G., Sentinel.
Very true. But can Mckinley
or the bondholders hold the peo-
pie in checka Will not Congress
be compelled to act in response to
the demands Of the peoplea-Cau-
casian.
The Louisiana populist., 1898-03-04

The Constitutional Convention
is at work, and all its officers are
drawing their pay. The secretary
gets $40 day for every working
day, and other officers salaries ia ia
proportion. The pap" as it has
been generally called, was distrib-
uted to men from the different dis.
tricts of the State in equal amounts.
A little ward politician from New
Orleans, named Hirn, opposed this
vigorously, saying that he was
there to get all the places he could
for his friends, and be didn't want
the country hayseeds to get any
pap until his friends were all plac-
ea. There were about a thou.
sand men asking for the fifty
positions that were given
o'qt. It IS openly declared that
hlsk as many employees could
transact the business Of the con-
vent;on, and thus materially save
money for the taxpayers. Wash

The Wreck Of lEc Maine.

The noble Maine sped on her way,
Those on deck thought no harm
Twas lust at the close OF day
When there rose cry OF alarm.
Then something dreadful followed that
cry:
There came crash-a boom
A flash of light that lit the sky
And hundreds of men upon the deck
Awaited their doom.
But a merchant ship was close at hand,
An with them steady oars,
The sailors brought the wounded to land
And left the dead to better share
For One was watching overhead
To keep us from all treachry.
And took his own tho of the dead
He, we know, can clear the mystery
OF that noble man of war
BY what and whom twas caused to
wreck.
Ne'er will thy thupders old ocean mar,
Nor the star-spangled banner wave DER
thy deck.

PROBABLE SUFFRAGE
QUALIFICATION.

1t is reported the Constitutional
Convention Committee on Suffrage
and Elections will bring in, for the
consideration of the convention at
large, a suffrage clause containing
an educational requirement, a prop
erty qualification, and a demand
that voters must be citizens, either
native or naturalized. Also that
no requirement is to be demanded
of any citizen who was a voter in
any State Of the Union on the first
day Of January, 1868, which was
previous to the adoption of amend
ments XIV and XIV of the Fede-
raj constitution comforting citizen
ship on the freed slaves.
This last clause admits all the
veterans of the war who were citi-
zens, either in the North or South,
at the date mentioned. The pro-
VISIONS above stated were advOca-
ted by the Picayune some weeks
ago, and they will come as near as
possible meeting all proper de-
mands.
There is no understanding"
clause, or other jugele, in the
proposition as reported, and it is
open to no serious objection of any
sort. 1t should be adopted in prin-
cipIe, with, perhaps, the addition
of poll tax for educational pur-
poses. .-Picaynne.
If the above is done by the con-
vention, as the Picayune seems 10
believe and then it will go ahead
and give these intelligent and tax
paying citizens the right to elect
all their officers, it will have done
well-better than it's friends ex-
pected Of it.

This is the way to mind your
P's. Persons who patronize pa
pers should pay promptly, for the
press possesses peculiar power in
pushing forward prosperity. If
the printer is paid promptly, and
his pockets kept plethoric by
prompt paying patrons, be puts
his pen to his paper in peace, he
paints the picture Of passing events
in more pleasing colors, and the

AdAmantine Pillar.

An editor of an exchange says
he is a true Christian, an adaman-
tine pillar Of the church and loves
sacred songs, but when night after
night he hears a man who owes
him IS on subscription singing
''Jesus paid it ALL" be feels like
shedding his Christianity for q few
moments to 90 over with a club
and give him a receipt in full

Probable Suffrage Law.


1t seems to be the impression
that the Constitutional Convention
will frame a suffrage law defining
a voter as a male citizen who can
read and write or who pays taxes
on property assessed at valuation
of $3.50. 1t is claimed that such a
law will eliminate the ignorant ne
gro and will allow the right of
suffrage to uneducated persons
who have shown, by their business
qualifications that they deserve the
power to yote.-Washington Mir

Business and Less Politics.

There has been some talk among
the business men of this city about
starting a live local and business
newspaper here.
We don't blame them. Their
interests have been sadly neglected
for politics, which have resulted
in doing no body save Office hold
ers any good.
What our business men and farm
ers, in fact, everybody else who
works for a living needs, is real
hustling newspaper, one that will
be so lively as to force people to
read it, one whose motto will be
development and progress, and one
which will keep everlastingly at it
until the people become enthused
with new life, and their Police Ju-
ry and City Council begin to legis-
late more on public improvements
than on official salaries, and the bp-
siness interests and material devcl-
opment Of our country take front
rank in the mind of the people.
We would like to see such a pa
per here. The rich resources, the
vast extent Of territory and the
sturdy, vigorous people of old
Natchitoches demand such a bless
ing, and with it ours would soon
be the empire" parish of the
State.
Our paper has been leaning lit
tie in that direction for some time.
We have never failed to help along
any public enterprise, and have
attempted several that could have
been put through had our political
opponents joined us in pushing
them, even as we'll as they did in
the railroad matters.
We have for several months de-
termined to leave off one or two
meals per diem in politics, and
push the business end Of affairs as
rapidly as our limited means and
ability will permit.
Our order has already gone to
our "patent" publishers to drop
the "Louisiana" part Of our name
and substitute "Natchitoches," so
that we can devote our whole at
tention to this balliwick and mat
ters of greater local interest.
We feel confident of making a
much more interesting paper to
our readers, and it , will afford
ourselves pleasant diversion from
the ceaseless round and unpro6ta-
bic turmoil of politics.
The business interests and work
ers will find the "Natchitoches
Populist" on their side strictly.

The railroads get $4,000, 900
for pulling the mail cars. If they
got the same as they charge the
express companies they would get
but one million. The postal sys-
tenn will always show deficit no
matter how much the postage, so
long as the railroads own congress.

The worst possible excuse a man
can give for not taking a reform
paper is that he is already taking
all the papers that he can read.
That means that he is doing so
much for the enemy that he can do
nothing for his own use.-Re-

The people Of the State antlci-
pate substantial reforms to flow
from the constitutional conven-

purity of the ballot box, when
Democrats are engaged in little
political advertisement for local
