of another political faith, and to
force those who submit to such
arbltrament to stand to ard abide
BY the result.
The real plth of the act is found
in Sections Is and l6, as follows:
Sec. Is. Be it further enacted,
etc., That no one who participates
in the primary election of any po-
lltical party shall have the right to
participate in any primary election
Of any other political party, with a
view to nominating opposing candi-
dates; nor shall he be permitted to
sign any nomination papers tor any
opposing candidate or candidates;
nor shall he be permitted to be him
self > candidate in opposition to
any one nominated at or through =
primary election in which he took
part, nor within four. years there
after shall he be capable of hold
ing an appointlve Office as the ap-
pointee Of any officer not belong
ing to the political party IN whose
primary election he first took part.
.'Sec. Is. Be it further enacted,
ETC., That the State Central Com
mittee and the various District and
Parish committees calling primary
elections, shall have power to adopt
such rules and regulations for the
conduct and government thereof a.
they may deem fit; provided same
be not inconsistent with the pro.
visions of this act, and for the pur.
pose of such primary elections, such
rules and regulations shall have the
force and effect of law in so far as
the parties participating or attempt
ing to participate In such primary
elections are concerned; provided,
further that all rules and regula-
tions made or adopted by any SUBJ
ordinate committee, shall be SUBJ
ject to revision or modification by
the executive committee of the
State Central Committee on appeal
By any person or persons in inter-
est"
We believe this act 10 be = wise
step in our election affairs. Pri
mary elections will become popu-
lar and conclusive IN the future,
for they will be q real test of the
strength of a candidate before a
party tribunal, and the mandates
of the party, thus expressed, will
be enforced.-B. Il. Advocate.

Yours respectfully,
N. J. Scorr,

Mr. Editor--In compliance with
your request, and nOt because l
consider the communication 90
kindly enclosed by you Is worthy
OF notice. I would state, that II any
arms and equipments, TOR any COM
pany in Washington Parish were
shipped on the ARROW" l (who
am the only officer On the boat ho,
OF right, ought to have been noti-
fied) am totally ignorant OF the fact.
It is true, that FIVE boxes Of n uskets
were received IN the 9Th inst,
marked "H. Richardson" and we're
duly registered, and the railroad
freight paid, and OF course the
freight charged 10 Mr.. Richardson.
Now, though Mr.. r. doubtless feels
himself considerably enlarged since
bis election to the Captaincy OF .
Volunteer Company, in bis parish,
yet YOU must admit, that l, who
knew him simply - Dir. Richardson,
and was entirely ignorant Of bis &C.
QUESTION Of . title-wOuld have
taken for granted, that il the gnns
we're not for himself individually, be
would have said something 10 me
about them; in other words, il
Capt. Richardson had coadescended
to call at the Office, and state to the
Clerk that those guns we're intended
for \ volunteer company, who had
commissioned him to purchase them,
no freight would have been charged
thereon.
In regard to the grstuitous in
situations thrown out in the above
mentioned communication, 1 would
say that Capt. Grant, the owner Of
this line, was born and has always
resided in the South, his children,
grand children. aud great grand
ctild are all Southrons, and even
his mother resided in the South ;
and lie has probably done IS much
in furtherauce of the cause Of the
South, Is the Captain or any mem.
Der Of the "Washington Rifasmen. -
And furthermore there is not "a
officer on the boat, with the excep.
ton OF tue Captain, who was no;
born and reared in the South.
Hoping that in justice to sll con.
cerned, you will publish the whole
of this rather extended correspond.
ence, ana thanking You for your
kindness in giving me this opportu'
nifty, I am, cir, very truly,
Yours, etc.

Two Grave Political In
nOvatiOnS For 1901.

On the FIRST day of January. 1901,
Louisiana enters into the trial of
two grave and important innova-
tions in her election methods.
No question presented more diff
culties in its solution or . wider
diversity Of opinion before the late
Constitutional Convention than the
matter Of the payment Of the poll
tax Is . prerequisite to registering
and voting. A compromise article
was finally engrafted into our
organic instrument as Article 1913.
This article provides for the pay
ment of . poll tax Of Il 90 before
the first day Of January Of each
year, by all male persons between
the ages of 81 ard 60 years, and
makes = poll tax receipt for the
period of two years before an eIe;-
ton = prerequisite to the right to
vote. The compromise is found In
the last clauses of the article which
provide that il shall not 60 into
effect for the election in 1900, and
that it may be changed, repealed or
modified by the legislature of 1908.
This Is . serious change in our
system aud from present indica-
lions will work almost revolution
two wears hence, Is 1t seems certain
that the total vote of the State will
be immeasurably reduced.
The last General Assembly in
augurated another vital change in
our system also to go into effect in
1901, BY legalizing primary cleo
tions and hedging them about with
The greatest safeguards and all
possible sanctity. Act 1873, Of
1900, in providing for primary
elections. IN its first section says:
ssAny committee or body, autho-
rized by the rules or customs Of
political party in this State having
the right under the election law to
make nominations by conventions)
10 call primary elections Of or for
such political party, N calling such
election shall, at the time of maxi
ing such call, adopt = resolution
which shall call forth:
"First-rhat primary election
will be held, giving the time when,
and the place or places where such
election will be held and the hours
between which the polls shall be
kept open.
:sSecond-The number Of per-
sons who shall preside Ut each poll
ing booth aud the manner of ch0os-
ing persons to constitute the cleo
ton officers of each polling place.
s.Third-Thc object for which
The election 10 called.
Fourth-The qualifications re-
quired for voting, in addition to
hose prescribed By the election
law and the Constitution of this
State.''
The succeeding articles provide,
in detail, for penalties for violating
he provisions prescribed in such
and applying rules and
much the same ~ in
regular elections.
The object of the Law u clearly |
vel forth 70 be not only to legal,ze
md safeguard such elections, bat to |
protect them from the interference
