factories. Ninety-five per cent of the

Northern capitalists. But the did

MORE LOUISIANA TESTIMONY.

Mr.. L. ID. Burgess. of Shreveport,
Louisiana, Il son OF Mr.. \. {. Burgess,
of Camden county, n. c., i'll response
to Il suggestion from his father, sends
this statement of his observation of
the workings of the Louisiana Consti-
tutional Amendment:
To the Editor:
Having been asked to give my
impressions concerning the Sew
suffrage law in Louisiana for the
benefit OF the people in North Caro-
lima, | have nothing but good to re-
port. This is based upon a residence
of ten years in different sections of
this State, and contrasting campaigns
and elections of the former portion
of that period with the last election.
No one will claim absolute perfec-
ton for any human device, and it
should be the aim of Carolinians, if
they use the Louisiana law as a mod
cling guide, to be directed by the ac-
tual experience of our people, leave
out anything useless or hurtful and
incorporate any additional features
which may have been fcund lacking
There is little to be desired in what
we already have; and when our peo-
pie make the existing law apply to
all primaries there will be no reason
able cause for any complaint.
The negro is now practically out of
politics. and except isolated cases, not
at all dissatisfied himself.
1t might not prove SO much so in
North Carolina, for there exists diff
ferent conditions; but here, as al
ready remotely limited the primaries
are really the election. The general
election here is analogous to the ac-
ton of electoral college in the presi
Dental election.
T.. d. BURGESS.
In the recent. visit to Louisiana Mr.
Josephus Daniels, while visiting much
of the State, he did not go to Shreve-
port. This article, aside from the
merit, adds to the testimony already
printed in these columns from other
sections of the State. Mr.. Burgess
is a native of North Carolina and his
observation will have the greater
weight with voters in this State.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Bur
CESS says there lacks in Louisiana
only to make the existing laws apply
of all primaries" We notice that the
Louisiana Legislature is now at work
perfecting Il primary election law,
Primaries regulated by law will be
enacted by the 1901 Legislature. All
other primaries are unsatisfactory
The Louisiana amendment accom-
plishes what the Populist Executive
Committee Hand Book of 1898 de-
nounced the Democrats for not doing.
charging the Democratic party with
"being too weak and cowardly to
stand up as men and enact laws dis
franchising the negro vote, which
laws would have been constitutional
1T is strong enough now and brave
enough, and the people are going to
enact laws DISTINGUISHING the negro
votc"-laws that will be ''constitu-
tional' as the Hand Book said.
