Louisiana congressman.

All of the Louisiana members of
Congress have bolted the Demo-
cratic party on the tariff question,
and will vote with the Republic
cans. Democracy is against every
interest of Louisiana, yet her Con-
gressmen, after voting for Repub-
lican measures, will return home
to be reelected on a free trade
platform. = Morgan City Review.

When The Devil Was Sick

Abbeviile Meridional.
Everybody is familiar with the
old tale of the illness Of Satan and
his ardent desire to become saint
Just about that time. So much
for the tale, now for the applica-
ton.
In years gone by the rice mills
and commission merchants of New
Orleans, by means of sundry devil
GUS devices, practically robbed the
rice farmer OF the fruits of his
hard toll. This may sound rather
severe, but it is none the less true.
Seeing no relief from this copdi-
ton of affairs, few far-sighted
men built few rice mills in the
country. 1t was ut once predicted
that they would be dismal failures
and finally be sold for old scrap
iron. Despite these unfavorable
predictions the country rice mills
prospered and brought better
prices to the rice planter. until he
threatens to become a bloated
bondholder. His lands have ri
sen in value from 50 and SIS an
acre to $50 and 500 an acre, and
he pays his day laborers $3.50 and
50 per day.
But it is different to the camp
of the city rice miller and broker
these days. "The brokers tables
are bare and the mills are out of
rice" so Columbus Ii. Allen sta
ted at meeting last Friday Of all
business men concerned in the
rice trade of that city. OF course
the meeting was not prepared to
recognize their own sins as a con-
tributing factor of this depressed
condition of affairs, but lay it all
at the door of the Southern Paci-
fc railroad, not furnishing suffi-
cient cars or dispatching them RAJ
pidly. In fact they openly char
ged the road with discriminating
against New Orleans.

Cutting Down Representation

SultiIS DOWh A>Sfi
Daily Item.
The Moody bill, aimed at the
Southern States that have adopted
restricted suffrage, has heen met
by counter-bill from Southern
member aimed at Massachusetts.
That State has a suffrage law
making illiteracy disqualification.
but as it affects but four per cent
Of the population, the Moody bill,
if applied, would not reduce the re-
presentation below the limit
now fixed by the act of the last
Congress. There is wide diff
ference between the four per cent
affected in Northern State and
the Fifty per cent affected 10 certain
Southern States. The Republican
States would not hesitate toap-
ply the proposed law to the South
through any fear that their own
power in Congress and the Elec-
toral College would be curtailed.
1t will be remembered that when
the civil war closed the Southern
States, fearing labor disturbances,
enacted laws relative to Migrants,
which was directed especially at
the negroes, with a view to prevent
ing them from violating labor
contracts aud becoming burden
as Migrants upon the community.
Those laws were divised in no
spirit of hostility towards the ne
gro, bat from a well-grounded fear
that agriculature would be ruined
unless the laborer VAS bound by
severe laws against vagrancy.
These laws were copied bodily
from the vagranct laws of North
ern States, and it was supposed
that what was good for the North
would he better, in our disturbed
condition, for the South. There
was large conservative element
at the South which deplored this
legislation as tending to arouse
the fears of the North and as in
viting counter-legislation that
might prove disastrous. The laws
we're passed, despite all protest,
and the result was soon apparent.
Mr.. Blaine, 10 his history. refers
to them as the prime incentive for
the reconstruction acts which Wis
tied such suffering upon the South.
They were regarded as intending
to keep the negroes in a condition
of peonage, and at once aroused a
violent crusade which resulted in
twenty years of distress.
With this incident in mind, il
is not safe to measure the dis.
franchising legislation of the
Southern States with that which
pertains in Massachusetts, and Sc
veral other Northern States. The
conditions are entirely different
and the most important difference
is that here the disfranchYement
is confined to the blacks, whereas
at the North it is entirely impair.
