Bring Them To Time.

Some interesting facts can be cleaned
from the returns OF the recent election
In Louisiana, the first held under
the new constitutional provision
intended to disfranchise the colored
citizens. The total vote was 65,2S3
OF which Heard Democrat, received
o4,6S4; Gallery, honest money fusion
9,OS7; Reems, Republican, 1872.
Reems represented the regular Repub-
licans and received the negro vote, so
that it is evident that 1,512 votes
represent all the negroes fran chised
by the constitutional amendment and
that by this amendment over 10000
negro citizens are deprived of their
right to vote.
In 1890 Louisiana had q population
OF l,lIS,5S7, of which 2l1,673 we're
males over 81 years oil age, excluding
foreigners. There were 1O2, 1Sl literate
male voters, of whom 34,OO7 were
negroes.
At the gubernational election four
years ago 206,53O votes were cast.
Louisiana has now six representatives,
but as it appears that large number
OF citizens have been deprived of the
right to vote, and their privileges re-
stricted, the plain duty of Congress is
70 reduce the representation of Louisi-
ana in like proportion in conformity
to the mandatory provisions of the
fourteenth amendment to the ccnsti-
tution.-racoma Ledger.

Sam z Fullerton, Of the state land
department, was here the first part Of
the week, looking up some state lands.
The state is having several contests with
the United States regarding it's swamp
land grant. So far the state has won
each case, four having been carried to
the United States Supreme Conrt.,
When the act Was passed two methods
Of selection were offered each state, they
could examine the land themselves or
take the report OF the surveyor general.
This state elected 70 take the latter
method, and as the surveyor generals
men we're not always careful in the
matter the state has been able to get
considerable land which is not actually
swamp land. B

Some hard feelings between a
couple of politicians on the West
Side, on Friday evening led to a
stick and brick-bat play. Parties
standing near the beligerents
separated. the combatants and all
was soon quiet and serene. PoIiti
clans.should not talk about one or the
other behind the back but tell what
they please on each other on the
stump, if proof is at hand and then
there will be no use of lighting.
One thing a man should remember
when talking about his neighbor
to third party, and that is he may
expect to have party of the second
part to tell what he has heard to
the one talked Of. Lean to say good
things about your neighbor even if
you have to stretch the blanket in
doing it and you need never be
afraid of getting into a difficulty
unless some one lies on you.

It is certainly remarkable how
easily country papers are fooled in
to accepting ads from foreign ad-
vertisers, at ruinously low rates.
These advertisers tangle up and
complicate their advertising propo-
sitions, until it is next to impossible
to make a correct estimate of same
for instance this paper received a
proposition from Scott 81 Browne of
New York, proposing to insert 287
inches of Scotts Emulsion adv. in
our weekly during a period of one
year, same to have position at bot
tom of column, preceded by and
next to purereading matter-muni-
ficent sum of almost nothing) was
offered for same. Dividing the to-
tai number of inches to be run by
the number of issues of the weekly,
we find that this concern wanted a
little over five inches space every
week for one year, for the small
sum stated. Besides, they had a
lot of ifs, and hard conditions in
contract. Of course we begged to
be excused, and wrote them a can.
did criticism as to their ridiculous
offer. If the newspaper men viii
stand up for their rights, better
rates can be secured. 1t is a fact
that we get as good rates from oul
foreign advertisers, and in some in
stances better than from home con
cerns-and we only take those wht
are unquali6edly gilt-edged.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1900-03-25

AS stated in our last issue, we pro.
pose to support Hon. Thos. G. Nc
Rae for Congress. 1t is clear to
our mind that he and his friends
will have to get up and hustle in
this campaign, or else his opponent
Mr.. B. NJ. Foreman of this city,
may win, as the latter is a fine bus
mess man, very popular, well ac-
quainted over the district, and a
very astute politician. Then it is
possible that a big slice of the Ma
tional Republican campaign fund
may be placed at his disposal-if so,
and workers" are engaged in every
county, it would not be so hard fol-
him to win. 1t is a fact that the
district is about evenly divided
politically, there being nearly as
many republicans as there are dem
ocrats. Right at the outset this
paper insists upon democrats look
ing carefully into the facts, an(
then act for the best-we cannot
afford to be apathetic as in the
past, or else the district will go re
| publican.

A Withdrawal Week.

Last week the candidates had a
withdrawal revival in the state and
the following found their way to
the mourners' bench: Judge Wood
of Hst Springs, was the first to
make the break for the bench, as
the voters sang that good old song,
"This is the way 1 long have sought
and mourn-new because found it,
nit After Wood came Hon. W..
L. Terry, who wiped a weeping eye.
Then came Bryant of FIT. Smith,
and then our old Honest John
Fletcher caught the inspiration and
tumbled off the roost, and made a
bee line for the nearest printing
Office, shouting to the editor to
save him, as he was encompassed
with the devil. Colonel Fletcher
had barely left the editor before
Governor Dan Jones stepped in and
arranged with the newspaper man
to pull Berry off. The meeting is
still going on and it is confidently
expected to get Vaudeventer to the
bench before many more back dis
tricts are heard from After Van
deventer there is other material
left for the revival to work on-we
refer to those state candidates who
announce in a Little Rock paper
and never show their mugs out ot
their home place,
