received a letter Saturday from Red :

the new primary election law The
information wanted was to know
whether the law applied to cities

is so indefinite and ambiguous on
that point that Mr.. Stuart advised

hold their election, which comes off
in January, under the old law.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Roosevelt has sent his
first message to Congress. 1t is an
able paper and contains much that
we can heartily commend, especially
is this so with regard to upholding
the Monroe doctrine, restricting for
eign immigration and aid in develop
ing the ard districts of the West.
When it comes to the discussion Of
our relations with Cuba he takes a
stand which means the destruction of
our sugar interests. He says:
ELSEWHERE I have discussed the
question of reciprocity. In the case
of Cuba, however, there are weighty
reasons of morality and of national
interest why the policy should be
held to have a peculiar application,
and | most earnestly ask your atten-
ton to the wisdom, indeed, to the
vital need, of providing for a sub
stantial reduction in the tariff duties
on Cuban imports into the United
States. Cuba has in her Constitu-
ton affirmed what we desired, that
she should stand, in international
matters, in closer and more friendly
relations with us than with any other
power; and we are bound by every
consideration Of honor and expedi-
ency to pass commercial measures to
the interest of her material we'll
being"

is only a police jadge, but he is
evidently made Of fhe right stuff.
He knows the proper amount OF
respect that is due his official posi-

yond the reach Of improper influence.
Last year Steve L'Hommedieu, a big
race horse tout and a son of Belial,
pulled his gun or the Pinkerton's in
New Orleans and was arrested for
disturbing the peace. He was pa

1t is an old saying, "You can't
keep a good man down." and we see
it well exemplitied in the ease of our
friend H. p. Lane of that splendid
paper, the Ruston Leader. A short
time ago he undertook to publish a
live daily in that slow town. II was
a paper that would do credit to a
place twice the size Of Ruston, but
he got no advertising patronage.
Realizing that he was publishing a

Congressman Moody, of Massa-
chusetts, has introduced a resolution
in Congress calling For an examina-
ton into the abridgment Of the right of
suffrage in this State. OF course
here11issssconsiderable speculation
to the final outcome of the matter.
Inasmuch..as it appears tossbe an in
dividual rather than a party move,
we do not attach much Importance to
it. Congress has its full share of
cranks and fools as Mark Hanna
says, and we opine Moody is n of
the freaks.
Be this as it may, the day is not
far distant when the peculiar suffrage
laws Of Louisiana, Mississippi, South
and NorthC carolina will be subjected to
Congressional action and we believe
when that timecomes the.ssopinion OF
Senators Caffery and McFnery will
be affirmed, that section five is I'M
constitutional. As between the two
evils, assreduction of our present rep
resentation inICongress or ssthe hor-
rors Of universal and unrestricted
negro suffrage77we feel q hesitancy
in saying that the good people, Of
Louisiana WOULD gladlyss-part with
five sixths-s,of their Congressman
rather than return to the ,oldlorderl of
things.
We may as well be candid among
ourselves and admit that;the famous
Section 51which3 SO effectually elimi-
mates the negro as ian e,ector is q
barefaced fraud, purposely designed
to circumvent another partisan fraud
the 14th and 10Th Amendments to the
United States Constitution.
If the departed aspirits Of Thad
Stevens and SOliver P. Morton can
return and sway the feelings Of the
R republicans nowsin Congress we vii
be punished for thus undoing their
efforts to. set black heels on white
necks.

The mat which is now almost ready
to be sunk is eight hundred feet long
and two hundred feet wide. Five
large barges Of rocks arrived Tues
day. The mat is made of willows OF
about two inches in diameter which
are packed and bound in bundles of
about twenty, and which bundles are
subsequently firmly fastened together
by an interlacing cable. The rocks
are distributed as equally as possible
