lY from tho city OF New Orleans,
supported by the ready influence
of his excellency the governor,
opposed to it.
Advocates of this measure be-
lived that it would tend to protect
the ballot and promote its purity,
and from small beginning du-
ring the first few days of the con-
vention, it developed sufficient
strength later on to dominate the
convention on that feature, but for
the influence of the chief execu-
tive Of the state, rs above stated,
would have accomplished in full
measure the purpose of their eau
Gus. a compromise was the re-
suit, and this salutary feature of
the suffrage ordinance, which has
accomplished so much in the state
Of Mississippi to eliminate igno-
rance and vice from the electorate
Of that state, in Louisiana was
suspended until after the general
state election in 1900 for the avow-
ed purpose of allowing "the boys"
in New Orleans who had been out
OF Office since the general election
of 1896, to capture the ''loaves
and fishes" at the general election
in 1900, so that thereafter they
would be able TO pay the poll taxes
of that army of voters in the city,
whom it was claimed would not
pay their poll taxes. 1t seems to
nue. that those who dictated these
terms, did not think, if they
thought, did not care anything at
all about the congressional and ma
tional elections in the fall Of 1900;
if so I did not hear it discussed,
and the pbraseology of the article,
to my mind, does not indicate it.
In the aisles of the hall of the con-
vention in the Hobbies, caucuses,
and at the hotels, the all-absorb-
ing topic of conversation relative
to the poll tax feature Of the suf-
frage ordinace, was its probable
effect on the next general state
election in 1900.
TO my mind it is perfectly clear
that legal voters in this state at
all elections, after the general
election in 1900, must have paid
their poll taxes prior to the 31st |
day of December in each of the
years 1898 and 1899, and | sincere
ly hope that all honest voters in |
the state will pay their poll taxes |
within this time.
With reference to the alleged |
ambiguity in the language of the |
article 1898, | have only to say
that language is incapable of ex-
preston SO plain that political
can not and will not con-
strue it to suit existing interests
and emergencies. But such anti
cipations do not alter my views of
what the constitution says and
what the convention meant. 1t
says what it meant to say, and
means exactly what it says. And
if there were latent ambiguity, in
my opinion it would be danger
Gus and unwise, in a matter so
important to depart from the plain
letter Of the law under the shall
low pretext of following its spirit.

Ii Is scarcely necessary to COM
ment on these figures, as they
speak for themselves. 1t should
be remembered that in 1895 most
of the Populist votes were cast
for the Democratic candidate for
President. In the election in No
vember, on the other hand, the
Democrats in many States, nota-
bly, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada.
South Dakota and Washington
supported the Populist ticket. If
the two could be separated it
would add 10000 to the Demo
cratic vote and reduce the Repub-
lican plurality to 539,1S1. But,
leaving this point entirely out Of
consideration, the fact remains
that Mckinley had a large MAORI
ty in 1896, but his party did not
have it in 1898, and was, as a mat
ter of fact, in minority.
There was a Republican loss of
1926. The elections can scarce
y be considered as encouraging to
he Republicans, as they had a
light to look for even larger ma
critics, considering the successful
termination Of the war, whereas
hey shrank ,565, 1928 in votes and
ceased to have a majority of all
he votes cast, as they had in 1896. |

FOREHAND CASE.
Humber Company Wants a
Receiver Appointed.

To the supreme court, without trial.
This is the move now under considera-
ton in the long standing case of Sulli-
van Forehand ct al. against Ellen F.
Presley ct ais, involving the possession
Of the $4,000 awarded by the United
States government for the use of the
John C. Howe cut anvil cartridge.
Counsel during. the past week have
been engaged in conference upon the
plan to take the case direct to the state
supreme court and not go through the
regular trial, as It has been antici-
pated that whatever decision might be
given, the case would be appealed.
The question upon which the case
will be taken to the supreme court di-
rect is upon the validity of the as
signments of the patent rights and
collateral claims, and one of the law
yers In the case said yesterday that
there was strong probability of the at
torneys taking the case direct to the
supreme court to hasten the solution
of the matter and secure a speedier ap-
portionment Of the government award.
The case now stands on the docket of
the jury-waived court for April The
counsel in the case are Frank P. Could
ing, Charles M. Thayer; e. B. Glasgow,
