THE first state election in the
United States in this presidential
year takes place in Rhode Island on
Wednesday, April 4th. The Re-
publican state ticket remains about
the same as last year, except tina,
Lieutenant Governor Gregory heads
the ticket with Representative Chas.
d. Kimball of the Eighth Ward as
lieutenant governor. The ticket is
not in any way weakened and it is
safe to predict Republican victory.
The Providence Assembly ticke,
presents only three changes from
last year. &. Frank Parkhurst, q
well known attorney, succeeds Mr.
Studley as senatorial candidate, and
Frank L. Easton and Henry &,
Gorton take the place of Messrs,
Kimball and Pirce. Considerable
interest is centered in this election,
as the size of the Republican major
ity will in a way show the trend o.
public opinion in national politics

Over the Tea-Cups.

A most unique and charming
entertainment was rendered the
"Over the Tea-Cups' Club by
one of its most talented MEM
bers, Mrs. Joe Firnberg, on last
Tuesday afternoon.
On the cards was the floral
contest, and many were the
amusing mistakes made by the
fair and merry botanists.
The lst prize was captured by
Mrs. j. P. Saizan-a lovely cake
plate the I'd, by Mrs. Eddie
Loeb and Miss Dubuisson-and
after a straw pulling-was award
cd to- the latter. The "beoby'

Delicious refreshments served

a close most fascinating after
noon.
The club will be entertained by
Mrs. L. Bienvenu on the 4th of
December. Something novel and
startling will be offered on this
occasion for the delectation of
its members and guests.

No Poll Tax, No Vote.

7 We have already on several oc-
casions called the attention of the
readers of the COURIER to the
fact that they must pay their poll
tax before the expiration of 1900
in order to be able to vote at any
future election in this State. The
N. 0. Picayune, in recent issue,
calls attention to this matter
All voters under 60 years of
age ought to take notice that in
all the State and municipal cleo
tions which are to be held under
existing laws after the last days
of 1900, which is the 31st of De-
cember next, in order to cast their
ballots they must have paid their
poll tax for two years preceding
the year III which each offers to
vote. and the receipts, as evil
dence that the tax has been paid,
must be exhibited at the polls.
The tax for each year is one
dollar, which is to go to the school
fund. Many persons should be
willing to pay the tax in order
to help the schools, but the mat
ter rests on more urgent grounds
than selicitude for the schools.
On it depends the right of suf-
frage in Louisiana. If the priv
ilege of voting is worth having,
it is worth the small trouble and
smaller expense involved in the
payment of the poll tax of one
dollar a year.
The Importance of this matter
is SO great that it should not be
neglected, and in view. Of the fact
that the time in which it can be
done IS short, immediate COM
pliance with the law should not
be delayed.

A great deal has been said
pro and con-about the rice COM
bine recently formed at Crowley,
and we fail to see where, the rice
planters have any cause to COM
plain on the subject. They are
assured better prices for their rice
than have prevailed heretofore,
and are guaranteed those prices
for the next four years or longer.
If there is any kick coming it is
from the consumer who may have
to pay higher prices for the clean
rice-not the planter who is get
ting better prices for his crops
and runs no risk as his crop is
paid for on delivery.
