UNMAKE THE LAWS.
That Is Why Pratt Populists Demand
Direct Legislation.

The Pratt county Populists took
new tack in the resolutions adopted in
the recent county convention. The con-
ventiOn first reaffirmed allegiance to
the Omaha platform and demanded
direct legislation by constitutional
provision so the people can make and
unmake their laws at the ballot box"
Other resolutions in the Pratt county
platform follow:
I'VE condemn the action of congress
in denying the rights of full citizenship
to the people of Porto Rico guaranteed
by the federal constitution.
I'VE demand immediate Intervention
in behalf of the people of South Africa
who are now struggling for constitu-
tiOnal liberty against British agrand-
izement and aggression also.
I'VE are in favor of the building of
the Nicaragua canal by the United
States of America.
I'VE are in favor of the public owner
ship of public utilities and demand that
our laws be so amended that the people
can when they SO elect take over all
public utilities by purchase or condem-
nation and when taken operate them.
I'VE believe the principles of self
government still follow our flag and
that taxation without representation is
tyranny.
I'VE condemn the present Republican
system of special legislation that has
brought into existence and fosters the
gigantic trusts and combinations that
are crushing out all competition, all in
dividuaI freedom and are making slaves
and bondsmen of the great la boring and
wealth producing masses Of the Amer
lean people.
I'VE demand the repeal of the pres
ent Republican high protective tariff. "

LOUISIANA VOTING.
Negro Registration Has Been
Reduced to 1000.

New Orleans, April 17.-Heavy rains
have prevailed here and all over the
state last night and today and the indi-
cations are for small vote in the state
election. A full state ticket is to be
elected as well as legislature which will
chose two United States senator's
out the state, municipal officers in most
of the towns outside of New Orleans
and a number of judicial officers. Three
state tickets. are in the field, the Demo-
Gratis, the WimberIy Republican and the
Caffery Republican. The campaign has
been extremely bitter. This is the first
general election under the new consti-
tuition. Because of the educational and
property requirements for voters, the
registration has been reduced from $780,
900 to $4,000, of which only 1000 are
negroes.

CIGARMAKERS OUT.
Five Thousand of Them Are Now
Idle in New York.

New York, April 17.-By the closing
number of striking and locked out cigar
makers in this city has been increased
to 5000.
From the strike of the employees of
Herbs, Wertheimer & Schiller a month
ago the trouble among the cigarmakers
has grown until nearly all the large fac
tories in the city are involved, and sew
eral concerns have announced their in
tention of moving from this city. The
average rate of weekly wages paid is
Sc. The strikers demand an increase of
81 per week for ten hours work. The
threat of the manufacturers to remove
their plants to some other place did not
appear to cause much alarm. Members
of the advisory board declared that
such action will not be taken, for the
reason that cigarmakers are paid high
er wages in other places than in New
York
