LET THEM REAP AS
THEY so

PRO, Herr Of The Felieianas' in cor
ues.iBg upon Our views as to the
wisdom of tlecting a Democratic
Congress this fail remarks:
We think that Congressman Will
liams, of Mississippi, comes nearer
being a statesman than any other
man in the South, and we would like
to see him Speaker. But like the
Meridional, we want to see the Re
publican party reap what it has
.sown. There is"a political and in
dustrial cyclone brewing, the like of
which has never been seen, and the
Democratic party is just assinine
enough to try to stop it. 1t is a
Republican job. Let them attend to
it and when completed let the Dem
ocrats take hold and see what they
can do-not before.

The Constitutional Amendments.
Editor MRRIDIONAL:

/ LulbUI MEh1HloNALs
Another proposed amendment, has
for its object to 'legalize the iusur-
pations of the New Orleans City
Council, in LETTING CONTRACTS and
| CREATING DEBTS beyond their POWERS
1t is Away bad policy to ratlfy the
usurpation of authority by municipal
officials since it encourages such
usurpation, vote against this also on
principle.
Another amendment proposes to
exempt from taxation, additional
property, beyond the exemption now
provided by the Constitution, which
are already sufficiently numerous.
Such exemptions produce privileged
classes in society, which is very OBJ
iectionable. Vote against this.
One amendment proposes that all
Tai,d warrants issued for salaries 'ect.
Of clerks in the city of New Orleans
outstanding and unpaid at the
adoption Of this amendment etc. are
hereby declared 10 be valid and
subsisting claims against the revenues
Of the respective Offices, ON which
said fund is dependent-Tms amend
mont shows on the face Of it, that if
these warrants are valid they need
no ratification by a Constitutional
amendments and that if they are in
valid and illegal Gas they no doubt
are) they ought not to be validated
by the Constitution. This simply
provides for the payment of warrants
Illegally issued, and is little less than
robbery of the public. The existing
Constitution restricts the exorbitant
charges, of the Court officials in the
City of New Orleans, by fixing
reasonable and just limits to their
charges, and this amendment is in
tended to evade that restriction
and 60 back again to the
old extravagant mode, which was in
vogue before the present Constitu-
ton. Fellow citizens OF Vermilion
the fact is, that these amendment
are intended and expected to Undo a
great part of the work of the last
Constitutional Convention, and re-
turn to the old abuses which that
Convention was called to abolish At
great expense. It is an example of
the Sow that is washed, returned to
her wallow in the mlre.

Ii you are against reciprocity and

vote that is cast for a Republican
candidate for Congress in this State

.sI,Assomeur ReyeiIle.v

This beautiful play. direct from Paris and
elegantly staged, was placed upon the boards
at the Abbatoir opera-house last evening and
made decided hit with the fair-szed audi
ence which gathered at this beautiful temple
of the drama. The play was written by 1.-The
Little Sardou' or "Sardine," as he is known
to the bouevardiers and is rendered into
English by Charles Butcher, New York
writer who has achieved considerable promi-
nence by the translation of 1.-The, Bucket of
Blood series of plays which have been
running so long in New York and Chicago.
In ''L'Assomeur Reveille'', there are seven
deeds of blood, four Of them murders, two
manslaughters and the other suicide. The
plot hingles a murder and theft ac-
companied by a little incidental killing Of the
wrong party by the injured husband.
After this opening piece de resistance, the
company representing the play begins at the
first of the Ten Commandments and works it's
way carefully and conscientiously through the
decalogue violating each OF the command
ments in turn in the most artistic manner.
The pictures of malice, envy, hatred and all
uncharitableness SO powerfully worked out by
Sardine are shown with a verminiferous lit
tleness that is not much short of genius.
For an artistic murder on the stage. ac-
companied by malice, we have rarely seen
the work Of Charles Ricketts, in the title role
of Gervais surpassed. The killing of Hor-
tense by her lover was also delightful! bit
of realism that was greatly appreciated. The
killing Of his mother by the old squire was
also loudly applauded and when the soldiers,
who had been ordered to fire blank cartridges
on the mob, syly inserted ball cartridges IN
their fusils and killed off every character in
the piece the curtain fell on a wildly en-
thusiastic audience. Miss Winnie Desmond,
formerly Minneapolis girl, who took the part
of Chlorine, shows great Improvement in her
work and was recalled at the end OF the Sec
ond manslaughter. Tonight, "Sir Richard
Bloodthirsty.''

Likes Not England.

10 the Editor of The Journal:
Inc disclosures now being made of diDlo-
matte correspondence among the powers at
the outbreak of the Spanish war plainly show
That Great Britain has been claiming more
than her share of credit for friendship shown
US 1t is evident that she was no more
friendly than it was her interest to be, and
there was no sentiment in it. either She
need not be afraid of ingratitude, should we
feel like expressing sympathy for the Beers
IN thelr heroic struggle against fearful odds,
nor hesitate to give Prince Henry right
cordial welcome. If VIC are to discriminate
would as soon give Germany or Russia the
credit of blocking intervention as any of
them. 1t is scarcely disputed that England
proposed second note for all to sign but
Germany and Russia declined
A neighbcr who has spent the past season
mostly in Great Britain assures me that while
there is more respect for America and the
Americans than formerly, it is almost wholly
IN consequence of our strength, displayed in
the Spanish contest. and later in entering
the commercial arena and carrying off so
many prizes. They respect us more but do
not love lis. And why should they? They are
nation of aristocrats of the most repulsive
type, so far as the ruling classes are con-
cerned. hence the spirit of their institutions
has little in common with ours. The free
public school which is almost the sine qua
non of American life, teaching equality to
| ell the children. is not to be found in all
! England. An almost insuperable barrier be-
tween the classes is yet maintained in all its
past grim and hateful exclusiveness. The
! English have little in common with us at
heart. am more and more convinced of
this from an incident Of member of a great
American steel plate company which had sold
almost millions Of goods to an English house,
| lately calling in person to pay respects and
! take another order, but the proprietor would
not condescend to see hinl-all on account of
| the so-called social barrier.
! We need not look for any display of friend
ship from Britain other nations any fur
| ther than our conquests command it, whether
! it be in war commerce. The thing, then,
for us to do, rs to go in to win, and that We
have made "a good start all will admit. Above
all, let US stick to our good old Yankee
ways and not get the habit too prevalent OF
| aping foreign ways. e. D. jackson.
