RUSSIANS NOW WANTS
ANOTHER BIG FIGHT

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov %, a, M.
"A naval correspondent of the Novoe
Vremya urges the formation of third
SQUADRON for service in the Far east
and points out that the ship, a modern
battleship is available at Cronstadt, to
which, he says could shortly be added
two battleships and two cruisers of a
somewhat older type and fifteen tor
pedo boats, making in itself formid-
able feet
The writer suggests incidentally that
there is still a possibility of getting
out the Black Sea feet, which, added
to the above squadron should heavily
overmatoh the remnant of Japan's sea
power.

Have Never Seen 1t.
The People.

The most serious obstacle to the
restoration of a democratic form
of government in Louisiana, is that
few men under sixty years of age
have resided continuously in the
State, have seen it in operation.
During the civil war, military rule
predominated, and the democratic
form of government that was esta-
bllshed during part of Andrew
Johnson's administration was so
short lived that it could not i'm
press itself upon the young men
who Immediately succeeded the
veterans.
The reconstruction began in
1867 and until 1877, the military
carpet-bag negro oligarchy held
sway. Democracy was sealed
book during that period. Upon
the accession of the Nichols gov
eminent to power, in 1877, it was
found manifestly impracticable to
curtail the executive appointing
power, but on the contrary it was
deemed advisable to take from the
people the election of police ju-
rors. The Constitutional Conven.
ton of 1879 abolished the appoin-
tive Office of tx1-collector in the
parishes because of the too great
political power that it gave to the
governor, aud the collection of the
taxes was returned to the sheriff's
office, which was elective. The
power was continued in the legis-
lature to extend the time during
which police juries might be ap-
pointed by the Governor. The
assessors, school boards. etc, re-.
NAMED in the category of appoin-
tive Offices, hence the transfer
therefrom of the tax collectorship
to the Sheriffs did not have the
desired effect. 1t increased the
Importance of the Sheriffs as poll
tical factors and, in many instan-
ces, converted these officers into
chief advisers of the Governor in
the appointments of police juries,
school boards, assessors, etc., and
in the filling of the vacancies in the
elective offices for the entire un-
expired term, instead of for the
period intervening to an elect on
as it should be.
In consequence the advent of the
Nichols government. brought no
change in the system. The per-
sonel was changed. be it said to
the great advantage and satisfac.
ton of the people. Under the cir
cumstances this change tended to
accustom the people to centrali-
zed government and to cause MANY
to consider 1t what it claimed to
be-democratic.
In the nineties, the public senti-
ment succeeded in regaining for
the people the election of the po-
lice juries. This was not accom-
