Since his entry into the Senate
of the United States he has taken
first rank among the leading
men of the nation.
AS a lawyer, orator, statesman
and private citizen he stands with
few equals and no superiOrs in
Louisiana or the South.
To talk seriously of a change
would be madness, to propose to
displace him at this time would
be a degree of idiocy which few

We have heard the suggestion
made that the enactme.ts of the
legislature be so amended as to
allow the holding of a primary
without regard to the payment
of the poll taxes as prerequisite
to voting. To our mind it seems
reasonable and fair. To all in
tents, the primary determines
the election, and, in this wise,
manhood suffrage, in our opinion
one of the cardinal tenets of the
democratic party, would be prac-
tically established, at the same
time guaranteeing white su
premacy by the general election
laws. The plan may seem crude,
but it has merits, if feasible, and
the attention of our representa-
tives is called to it. We believe
the rather stringent suffrage
laws we're necessarily so harsh
to shut out the negro. AS for
our part, we recognise no class
or classes which must be de-
prived of the right of voting on
account of illiteracy or poverty.

devotion to the New Orleans
Charity Hospital was exemplitied
in buildings. improvements and
increased facilities. The State
Normal at Natchitoches became
the object of his special care and
devotion, while the Industrial
at RustOn and that at Lafayette
were made possible by his wise
and economic management of
public affairs. The levee system
of the State owes more to his
watchfulness, his genius in State
craft and his devotion to their
interests than to any other Gov
ernor in the history of the State.
He brought together and har-
monized and put to work even
the discordant elements and con-
ficting interests in the levee
system, and better, bigger,
stronger and more levees were
built than ever before in the
history of the State.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was born 100
years ago Monday and his admirers
the world over observed the occasion.
1t is quite fashionable to be an ad-
mirer of Emerson, that is it is among
the intellectual and educated. We re-
spect that fashion. Emerson was no
doubt great blessing to the world of
letters and through them to the world
at large. He was a philosopher, low
ing truth for truths sake. He helped
take the shackels off the human mind.
He helped adapt theology to modern
thought. But he was surely great
deal of theroist and a dreamer. He
seemed something of an idler. He
lacked the power to do things in the
world and had lot of impractical
ideas. We do not think he has given
The pleasure to the public that many
OF our other authors have. But his

We have been interested to see IL
the Advocate, the democratic organ
of this county, would make an indica-
ton of its judgment on the nomina-
ton of Grover Cleveland for presi-
dent. But SO far there is mary" an
indication. II the editor has any
judgment in the matter, he carefully
conceals 1t. He doesn't discuss the
subject in his columns, although it is
one of the most momentous questions
that is now before his party for con-
sideration. Brother Spencer perhaps
thinks it discreet to keep still until he
sees WEIGH side of the fence to jump
down on, so as to be with the crowd.
We would think that as much opposed
to third terms as he processes to be
now that he could not possibly be for
a third term for Cleveland, especially
as presidential terms have four wears
each, while the offices that give Bro.
Spencer worry are only two year
terms. But as he doesn't say he is
opposed to Cleveland's nomination,
one is almost driven to the conclusion
that he is for the ex-president. How
about it Bro. Spencer? Relieve an
expectant public.

The Jewish massacres in Russia a
few weeks ago have awakened the
whole civilized world to powerful pro-
test. The day was supposed to be
past that such barbarities could be
practiced in any country that profess
sed itself among the foremost nations
of the world. China and Turkey have
in recent years disgraced themselves
with Wholesale murders, but Russia
doesn't claim to be classed with them.
Race prejucice is at the foundation of
all these troubles. We have race
