THE PARTY NEEDS no RE0R.
GANIZATI0N.

Since the defeat of w. j. Bryan,
the papers have contained interviews
with different political leaders stat
| ing that the Democratic party needs
reorganization and that steps along
this line should be taken between
now and the next election.
The Democratic party needs no
reorganization. Why should it be
recognized? Fidelity to its time
honored principles is the only way
to ultimate success. The cause for
which the Democracy battled in the
campaign just closed cannot die, and
the nation will sooner or later per-
ceive the fallacies which have mis-
led them. Principles never die.
The Democratic party stands firm on
the Consultation. And what better
basis could it stand: Because the
country has been mislead by the
prosperity cry, and million of dol
lars were poured into the doubtful
States by Mark Hanna and the Re.
publican campaign committee, the
Democratic party should not seek to
better existing conditions by at.
tempting to change its foundation
principles, upon which it has built
up to the superstructure of an idea
governments government of the
people, by the people and for The
! people.
The Republican party cannot al
ways ride the waves of victory OF
| un-American issues, and the tide
win turn in due time. True Ameri
cauism will triumph in the end. The
country will see the fallacy of i'm
perialism and will put upon such {
policy the stamp Of its disapproval
And then, when this is done, the old
Democratic party will rise to the
ascendency, and reorganization OF
its principles will be only dream.

The New York Sunday Telegraph in
an editorial on the affairs of the city
government ard the New York Sun,
the dirtiest paper published, which
has attacked Mayor Van Wyck and
Richard Croker, says: ssThe three
years of Mayor Van Wyck's man.
agement Of city affairs have been the
best three years in the history OF the
city. With Tammany in the admin
istration Office, and Tammany under
the leadership of Richard Croker
New York has had the most honest
and economical government that it
has know. There is nothing in Mr.
Cookers career, nothing in Mayor
Van Wyck's administration, other
than creditable. Yet the mud mills
have all been employed, and the sun
will presently be obscured with their
product"

No Poll Tax, No Vote.

All voters under SO years Of age
ought to take notice that in all the
State and municipal elections which
are 10 be held under existing laws
after the lst day of 1900, which is
the 3lst of December next, in order
to cast their ballots they must have
! paid their poll taxes for two years
proceeding the year in which each
offers to vote, and the receipts, as
evidence 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 matter rests on
more urgent grounds than solicitude
for the schools. On it depends the
right of suffrage in Louisiana. If
the privilege of voting is worth hav-
ing, it is worth the small trouble and
small expense involved in the pay
ment of the poll tax of one dollar a
year.
The Importance Of this matter is
so great that it should not be neg
lected, and, in view of the fact that
the time in which it can be done is
short, immediate compliance with
the law should not be delayed.

Crowley is. easily first in its
rapidity of growth, having, sprung
from small village to the eighth
town in the State, while Houma
comes second In its relative increase.
All the towns, however, show a
handsome improvement. with very
few exceptions, only two, Baton
Rouge and Morgan City, having
grown less than 10 per cent in pop
ulation. Lake Charles is not quite
as large as popularity supposed, but
both it and its nearest rival, New
Iberia, have nearly doubled during
the ter years. The table is encour-
aging, proving the activity and
prosperity of the towns of Louisiana.
In no other portion of the Sonth
and in few portions of the Union
has there been as encouraging an
improvement in the smaller towns.
