MENACE TO THE CONSTITUTION.

1t becomes desirable to call atten-
tion to the fact that the people, in
whom all power resides, have seen fit,
through the medium of the Constitu-
tion, to limit the governmental power
conferred and to say to departments
created by it: "Thus far shalt thou
ends sought the people have by the
Constitution separated and disturbed
among the three departments Of gov
ernments executive, legislative
and judicial certain powers, and it
is the duty Of those administering
each department SO to act as to pre-
serve, rather than to destroy, the pot
ency of the coordinate branches of
the government and thus secure the
exercise of all the powers conferred
by the people.
Thomas jefferson, in letter to
William G. Jarvis, touching the per-
petuity of our institutions, written
many years after he had retired to
private life, said: IF the three
powers Of our government maintain
their mutual independence of each
other, it may last long, but not SO IL
either can assume the authority Of
the other It must be confessed
that in the course of our history exc
cutives have employed powers not be-
longing to them; statutes have been
passed that were expressly forbidden
by the Constitution, and status have
been set aside as unconstitutional
when it was difficult to point out the
provisions said to be offended against
in their enactment; all this has been
done with good purpose, no doubt,
but in disregard, nevertheless, of the
fact that ours is q government of
laws, not of men, deriving its '.iust
power from the consent of the govern
ed If we should have our govern
ment continue during the ages to
come, for the benefit of those who
shall succeed as, we must ever be on
our guard against the danger Of usur.
patton of that authority which resides
in the whole people. Judge Parker's
speech of acceptance.

BOLTS ROOSEVELT.

Ernest H. Crosby who succeeded
Theodore Roosevelt in the assembly
from the Twenty first District of New
York and who was appointed as Re-
publican to judgeship in the Inter-
national Court at Carlo, Egypt has
come out for Judge Parker.
Mr.. Crosby is rich. He has been
prominent in reform politics since he
returned from Cairo He was the first
president of the Reform Club.
Mr.. Crosby said.
Mr. Roosevelt has deliberately
made himself the incarnation of the
spirit of militarism and imperialism.
His dream of national greatness means
nothing but physical strength, and for
great ideas he would substitute a great
navy Freedom, equality, justice,
must all be subordinated to brute
force. The change shows itself al

THE BOND ISSUE.

Beyond doubt the question of th
greatest import to the people of Lou
isiana to-day, particularly to thos,
who are especially interested in tn,
education of the youth of the State, il
| the proposed amendment TO the state
constitution the issuance of one mil
lion dollars Of bonds for the purpose OF
promoting the cause of education.
Briefly stated the purpose of the
bond issue is to float IA million dollars of
bonds, to run twenty five years. to draw
three per cent interest, the gross sum to
be pro rated on the same basis as now
prevails for the distribution of the
state school fund, according to the
number of children of legal school
age, and the entire sum to be used
for the sole purpose of erecting school
houses in the country parishes. AS
the rate of interest allowed on these
bonds is low, lower in fact than is
paid in any other part of the United
States it is proposed to exempt them
from taxation to the extent that their
par value may be deduced from the
assessable capital of the holders, pro-
vided they came into possession of
them six months prior to the year in
which they are to be assessed. The
needs OF education in Louisiana were
never more pressing than at this time.
To keep pace with the industrial de-
of tn state it is necessary
that the children of the poorest citi-
zen may receive an education that
will enable them to fill any station in
life. There is no investment that
pays SO surely and so we'll as money
expended in the cause of education.

A CHAPTER ON MAN.

Man born of woman is a forked an
imal with wheels in his head.
He cometh into the world kicking
and kicketh all the days of his life.
When yearling he is boss of the
ranch. But at five, the "old man"
breaketh his scepter over the young
kings head and where is he?
He playeth "hookey from school
and learneth to swim in a mud puddle.
He hath voice like a caliope and
an appetite and disposition like cub
wolf.
AS gosling ''in the good old sum-
mer time" he weareth sore toe, and
when his dad doeth his duty, he freq.
uently standeth up to eat.
He feedeth his face with green ap-
pies and sigheth nightly in the still
watches OF the night.
When the hair beginneth to grow
es%estef e h; to his easB 6ttf the Of fhjst il
the spheres.
Smitten by feminine charms he
straight way takeththe kink out of
his backbone and swelleth up like
poisoned pup.
"Biled' shirts and white collars
cometh next and he spreadeth his pride
as peacock spreadeth his tail.
At sixteen he knoweth more than
all the universities and as for the
"old folks they are has beens. -
By day he hustles for candy coin
and at night he buildeth castles in the
air.
But 10! his darling giveth him the
init and breaketh his heart in ten
thousand bits.
When two days of mourning are
ended he findest another by far more
fair who mendeth his "gizzard' and
his SORROWS flee as the shadows.
In due time she duplicatheth his
heart fracture and he liveth day in
hell but is rescued ere the sun goeth
down by another damsel who DANES
him again.
He groweth hard hearted an dameth
few damsels himself and then meet
eth his Waterloo.
She smitheth him under the fifth
rib and he returneth the blow.
For many moons they COO and WOO
like sick doves. Then cometh the
preacher and it is all over.
Next cometh Pete and Repeat, Kate
and Duplicate, at al, and they start
ont to do and be done as their father
before them.
Now the old man hustleth for grub
with an exceeding great hustle.
He farmeth and is robbed by the
trust.
He hireth himself to q corporation
and goeth on strike and is struck on
the head with policeman club, and
Knocked sensible nit.
He start ON the road to sell things,
and is sold for song.
He goeth on change and is changed
from bull to bear with such alacrity
that he looseth all his change.
He groweth some more wool, God
knows how. and contracteth great love
fer ponies. He figureth cut "sys-
tenn" and is robbed systematically.
He is astonished at the speed Of the
horse he didn't pick to win.
Next he goeth into politics, and
learneth that all men are liars.
Afterward he goeth on long ex-
cursion with the boatanan Charon and
where is he?

That a policeman would SO far for
get his duty as to assault the mayor
seems absolutely incredible but that
is what actually happened in Alexan.
dria Monday While Acting Mayor
Stafford was giving some instructions
over the phone to policeman John
Churchill he conceived the notion
that the mayor was not according him
that distinguished consideration and
respectful courtesy due his exalted
official station. So he resolved that
he would call the mayor down from
his ethereally altitudinous position
too high up in the heavens for an
acting mayor-and in pursuance OF
such resolution he invaded his Office
and sought satisfaction for his wound
ed feeling by pommeling the mayor
with his fist. Alexandria Democrat.

class, aggregated all combined, so un-
appreciable proportion of their pop
ulation as to be not the slightest men,
ace to them; and yet they were dis
franchised and the negro in the South
was enfranchised. From the first
days Of the freedom of the negro, the
white people of the South realized the
duty of educating him for his new
condition and duties, taxing themsel-
YES to the constitutional limit for
public schools, and dividing the pro-
ceeds of tax money pro rata among
their own children and the children
Of the blacks, who have never ND to
this day paid more than per cent of
the taxes, and who used the ballot
against the whites with steady and
persistent hostility, which could not
have been tolerated by employers in
employees for single year anywhere
else in the world, and least Of all in
New England In this sprint, the
has paidl' one hunderd and twenty
million dollars of tax money for the
education of negro children.
Speaking of lawless violence against
negro criminals, Colonel Bingham
says:
Again, a great deal is said about
the people of the South lynching me-
roes. 1t would help to remove the
bitterness against the South among
Northern people on this score if they
would realize two facts about them
selves in the matter of mob violence.
The first is that the statistics show
that more negroes have been put to
death by mobs in the North in proper
tinn to the negro population, than in
the South and though public senti
ment in the North seems to be very
strong in favor of furnishing as muir
derers those who engage in lynching
in the South, yet grand juries in the
North, with public sentimenet osten-
sibly overwhelmingly in their favor,
very rarely, if ever, find true bills
against such mu1derers. The same is
true OF those who slew SO many of the
Chinese on the Pacific Coast and drove
the remainder from the country.
The other thing which our North
ern fellow -citizens would do we'll to
realize in connection with lynching,
is the fact that, when we anticipate
the law and put negro to death for
the new negro crime, the violence
which should never have occurred,
stops with the criminal. Innocent
negroes are never molested. But in
the North the violence only begins
with the mobbing of the criminal,
and it continues by Staying innocent
and inoffensive negroes, by destroying
their property, and by driving them
from their homes and their counties
This violence Of race prejudice was
exhibited in the anti-negro riots in
New York city recently in the antine-
gro riots in Wilmington, Delaware,
and in Akron and Urbana, Ohio, Pres
ident McKinley's own State, in Illi-
nois, Presidents LincOln's own
State and in many other Northern
States. II the better element in these
were as anxious to sup
press lynching and punish lynchers in
the South some of their own law
breakers would have been brought to
Justice.
Experience with the negroes is
worth all the speaking and writing
that can be done to instruct the North
ern people. They have got a negro
problem of their own, and they are
learning rapidly what it means. IN.
