THE HOME RULE PARTY.

There is now or will soon be a
new party in the State bearing the
above name it now exists per-
mainly in New Orleans and the
object is to esta blish it in all other
sections and parishes of the State.
It's platform and principles have
already been announced and con-
sists mainly in advocating the en-
tire doing away with the appoin-
tive power now vested in the
hands of the Governor, the abo-
lition of all political sinecures and
the legal establishment OF a pri-
mary election system Of making
all political nominations to office.
While We do rot now and did
not think that there was, at the
time, sufficient cause for the ere
alton of the new Home Rule party
in New Orleans, feeling assured
that the regular party was fully
awake to all exigencies and would
bring about needed changes grad
ually during the present admins
tratiOn.
Nevertheless, we deem it worth
while to say that the best method
of utterly destroying the possible
growth Of the new party is for the
present administration to so de-
mean itself, from top to bottom, as
to cause a reminding Of Demo-
cratic enthusiasm among the
voters. In the Home Rule party,
whether they should ever amount
to great deal in the State, We
have no great dangers to fear.
They are far different from the
long-sranding Republican oppo-
nents. Their only RAISON D'ETRE
seems to have no other motive
than what they are pleased to call
certain needed reforms and
changes in our Democratic gov
eminent.
Let the Democracy give a good
account Of itself during the COM
ing four years, which we feel as
sured it will do; let it enlarge the
fancied rights of its critics to
every possible limit, and at the
end of that time the new party
will have no foundation to stand
on. Its only slogan then will be
mere scramble for the tlesh-pots,
with the cry of reform a plain
subterfuge.

According to the Census OF 1900

According to the Census Of 1900.
which was taken under Republican di-
rection there were l16, 70S white males
ofvoting age in the State. against 49,
235 colOred males OF same age. leav-
ing a clear majority of -, 473 white
voters. This preponderence has been
steadily increasing. White supren
acy, therefore in Louisiana. is as
sured no matter what might be the
federal interference with our suffrage
laws.
In view of the above, We do not
anticipate any Congressional in
reference in the south, as some
of our contemporaries seem to
fear. Also for the reason that a
new development seems to be
taking place now between the Sec
tons and President Roosevelt and
Congress would be very lmpolitic
to mar this'pleasiog development.
The voters are evidently there.
The State suffrage laws are re-
sponsible for the small votes Of
past years and all that is needed
is to impress all men to qualify
under them and exercise the right
of suffrage.

Not so very many years ago,
when this country was the butt OF
ridicule and laughter for being the
poorest equipped from naval and
army standpoint, there were to be
found any number of our citizens
who clamored hard and obstreper-
ously for greater army and navy
in order that American citizens
and American interests should re-
ceive greater protection abroad.
Now that we have partially Sc
cured these means of protection
and defense and now that the flag
of this great Union is treated with
the becoming respect due it, with
out the people having been bur-
den with one cent Of direct taxa
tion,a there are to be found any
number of men who see in this
military ACKNOWLEDGMENT innum-
cradle i'll omens and all kinds of
despotic expressions upon the
people. The truth of the matter
is, the construction of the Isthmian
Canal and the sad lessons of our
late war with Spain, when this
country was utterly unprepared,
ought to be sufficient to prove that
a good army and navy are neces-
sary, not for war, but for the
preservation Of peace.

he fact that Governor Douglas

The fact that Governor Douglas
was recently elected by the Demo-
Gratis in the old Bay State, along
with full Republican State tick
ct, gives rise to the belief that in
tariff revision alone lies the hope
Of the Democracy in 1908. The
issue in Massachusetts, which
brought about the election of
Douglas, was tariff revision or
modification. Prominent Eastern
Democrats and members of Con-
gress, now to convene shortly, are
preparing to make fight for tariff
revision at this session. President
Roosevelt, possibly alarmed at
the outcome in Massachusetts,, is
reported as being tacitly in favor
Of certain tariff changes. The
tariff, purely and simple, will be
the issue four years hence, and it
is predicted that on this issue the
Democracy will retrieve itself
from the late inglorious defeat.
In the tariff war to characterize
this session of Congress, our rep
resentatives from Louisiana ought
to, and will no doubt see to it
that our sugar industry receives
its proper share of protection,
based upon the liberal concessions
which have been, by reciprocity,
accorded to the sugar producers
of the island of Cuba.

President Roosevelt is highly
elated over his trip to St. Louis.
The Chief Executive of the Nation
has been saying many kind things
of the South since his election and
the disposition of the leading
Southern men and papers seems
to be to treat this magnanimity
with becoming grace. The Presi-
dent is now being invited to visit
many of the leading cities of the
South, and these he proposes to
accept and act upon some time
next spring. After forty years of
sectional ugly grimaces we are at
length promised great national
determination. Is it the dawn of
the long promised millennium

The Home Rulers effected per-
manent organization in New Or

will now launch out in the various

rently believed. The past cleo

has at least one good, gratifying
and com nendable feature-it is
making the citizens pay their poll

cation echequer nightly.
