THE ELECTION.

Next Tuesday, November Sth, is
the day set apart by law for the elec-
and Congressman, also for the adop-
ton of number of amendments to
the State Constitution. The campaign
from every stand point has been one
of the most quiet, spiritless, without
any of the usual excitements or en-
thusiams usually attendant on this
great quadrenniel. In our State there
is practically but one ticket, the OPP
position being so weak that in most of
the districts there is no canvass by
the opposition, consequently there is
no necessity for strenuous work and
its attendant expense by the Demo-
Gratis, still they will go to the polls as
sacred duty and cast their votes for
the Democratic candidates From dis
patches from the seat of political war
we can assure our readers that the
chances for electing Mr.. Parker are
very good as the doubtful States are
being thoroughly canvassed. Mr.. Park
er himself conducting whirlwind
campain for the last week In the
city of New Orleans great excitement
exists, and the most strenuous efforts
are being put forth by both parties,
all parties we should say, to gain vic
tory. At this writing victory seems
assured to the Home Rulers though no
one can predict with certainty the re-
suit which few votes will decide.
Our sympathies are with those who are
struggling for self government and a
reinforcement of the Ring which has
so long ruled that city.

DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING.

According to announcement the
Democracy of New Iberia, assembled
at the Nendome Opera House, las
night. Hon. Geo. NJ. Robertson
called the meeting to order and intro
duced Hon L. I. Dulanv as chairman
of the meeting with MessrS. f +.
Willard and NJ. W. Fisher, secretar-
les, some 400 people present. The
chairman on assuming the chair made
a most acceptable address full Of pitll
and good points. He then introduced
Hon. p. r. Burke, who put the audi
ence in good humor and evoked much
applause by speech replete with wit,
humor and good sound Democratic
doctrine. Judge L. p. Caillouet fol-
lowing in one of those solid, edifying
addresses for which he is so Justly
famous, receiving the appreciation of
the audience by continued applause
The chairman then introduced the
prime favOrite of the District, Hon.
Robert +. BrOussard. a candidate for
Congress to succeed himself. 1t is
needless to say it was a good speech
He always makes good one, but this
was the best he ever made in New
Iberia, his practice and contact in his
recent tour North and East, where he
spoke for Democracy, evidently has
improved him in style and diction.
Our Bob is the best orator TODAY in
the State and all who heard him last
night will unanimously concur in this
opinion. The issues and the doctrines
of the party was most eloquentlv dis
cussed and the party interests greatly

THE RAILROAD AMENDMENT.

Editorially commenting upon the
prosoSed railroad amendment, the
Item of New Orleans, says:
Whatever else is done at the
approaching election every voter
shonld vote affirmatively upon the
proposed amendment to the Con
Stitution extending the period Of
exemption from taxes of all new
railroads entering the State. The
| Item has on several occasions al
luded to the important matter, and
now it makes final appeal in be
half of the proposed amendment
In 1898 the Constitutional Conven-
ton enacted a law exempting frozen
taxation for period of ten years
from date of completion, all new
lines of railroad begun and com
pletrd between that time and Jan.
|, 1904. The effect was felt at
once, and the ultimate result was
that in 1908 Louisiana led all the
United States in railroad mileage
The future development Of Lonisi-
ana depends largely upon her rail
roads, and the near proximity Of
the Panama canal completion
makes it of highest Importance
that Louisiana should be able to
reap the advantage and send the
products of her fields to new and
larger markets. Not only is this
true. but the farmer is deeply inter
eSted in the increase of his land
value, and it goes without saying
that the building of railroads
through cultivated as well as waste
places, followed by desirble i'm
migration, factories, mills and gen
eral industrial development, will
bring this about
"Two instances of this kind
have just been shown, and the
same is true elsewhere. Mr.. w. H.
Allen, tax assessor for Vernon
parish, writes that two new rail
roads Lave been built there since
1900, when the total assessed value
of the parish was $643,135. The
assessed value for 1904, he writes,
is 81 ,405, 722, ran increase of over
100 per cent in four years.
"Mr. John f. Hanna, tax as
SCISSOR OF Ouchita parish, writes as
follows: "Our parish has no in
debtedness. Parish paper is worth
dollar for dollar. cash on presen-
Lation. Our tax roll for 1904 shows
as follows: Number of acres, $685.
182; valuation of property, 49,
$50, S95. Increase in number of
acres, over 1900, SAT-; increase
n valuation of property. $2,25O,-
$40. The increase has come
principally from abandoned lands.
The amount Of reduction in the tax
ate for 1905 will be three mills"
Such practical examples as these
IAN not fail to carry conviction"
The proposed amendment will be
listed on the official ballots as
amendment No 3.

Yesterday afternoon. Although once we
