The Six Other Amendm ents.

Besides the proposition for the amend
ment Of the State Constitution designed
to empower the Legislature to pass a
law authorizing the contracting Of a
debt of $50 900 900 for the improvement Of
highways, which would become effective
without the approval of the voters, to
which THE SUN directed attention yester-
day, six other proposed Constitutional
amendments are to be voted upon by the
people this fall, making seven questions
affecting the fundamental law to which
the electors will be asked to answer Yes
or "No" on the official ballot November 4.
Since the adoption OF the Constitution as
revised by the convention Of 1894 five
amendments thereto have been sub
mitted to the people, four in 1899 and
one in 1901. All Of them were approved
at the polls.
The first amendment on which the
voters will pass this year is one advo-
Gated by the municipal government Of
New York city for the purpose Of in
creasing its debt mourning capacity.
Under the Constitution the city is pro-
hibited from mourning debts in excess
Of 10 per cent. OF the assessed valuation
Of the real estate therein. and in compu-
ting its Indebtedness all long term bonds
are included, whatever the purpose for
which they have been issued The Water
Department OF the city is moro than
self-sustaining and returns q profit to
the municipal treasury each year. In
view of this. it is proposed to allow the
city to exclude water bonds issued after
January 1, 1904, from the computation
of it's Indebtedness when its borrowing
capacity is to be ascertained. In 1899
the debts OF the counties included within
the city after consolidation were ex-
cluded from this computation, and il
the present proposition is approved by
the voters it unquestionably will be
followed by other proposals for tho
exclusion Of bonds issued for the benefit
of other self-sustaining or profitable
municipal enterprises. 1t is proposed
to make an important change in the
financial policy Of the city the ultimate
consequences Of which 1t would be diff
ficult to foretell
As this amendment would affect vitality
the city's financial operations, 30 two
proposed changes in Article VII. would
have far reaching effects on the man
agement OF the States money matters.
BY the addition Of a new section it is
proposed to modify the provision OF
the Constitution which now requires
that direct tax shall be levied and
collected to pay the interest and princi-
pal OF each debt incurred by the Stats.
by granting power to the Legisla-
ture to pay such interest and principal
out of any money in the treasury, and
in any year when the general funds are
sufficient to meet these charges to re-
init the taxes otherwise to be imposed
for these purposes. This is a part Of
the Odell policy of mo direct taxation
Involved with this amendment is an
other, changing the term for which
State bonds may run from eighteen
years to fiftyyeaY. We're this adopted

The Memory Of Jose Marti.

We printed on Sunday morning an
interesting and pertinent communica-
ton, signed ID. c., on The Memory of
Jose Marti' Its point of.view and it's
main argument are correct and sound,
but it contained two serious errors, and
it's importance makes their rectifica-
ton desirable. The letter opens with
the quotation Of "a cable item which
has appeared in several papers Of
recent date" as follows: President
PALMA OF Cuba has just signed the bill
which will settle the last claims OF the
war veterans.
Had this been the fact we should have
been much less emphatic in our protest
against this measure, Notwithstanding
our conviction OF its unlawful passage.
The bill as passed by the Cuban Con-
gress and approved by President PALMA
does not provide for a final settlement
of those claims. 1t merely provides for
the payment OF a second instalment of
S2s, 500 900 on account OF those claims
In our issue Of August Ia we said: "A bill
now pending provides for a review Of
still other claims, as yet unrecognized,
reported as approximately $4,000, 600
in their aggregate. Moreover, under
the bill as passed it remains open for
the present Congress or any future Con-
gress to whom such a measure might
prove politically or financially profitable
to discover that $50, 900 900 or 500. 900 900
was still debt which grateful country
owed TO those valiant heroes whose life
blood was to be so freely spilled for thsirs
beloved land. In THE Eua q Aue,istsss

Another Patriot Gone.
The People.

1t was with sincere regret that
we read of the death of that gal.
liant soldier, splendid citizen and
true gentleman, I. L. Broussard.
at his home in st. Martinville, on
the 18th inst. At the age of 10
years he went of to Virginia in
the famous Company of Attaks-
pas Guards, Co. c., of the 9th
Louisiana Regiment, commanded
by that chivalric gentleman aud
patriot. Alcibiades DeBlsnc, after.
wards Colonel of the regiment.
For conspicuousIy faithful and va
liant service the deceased rose to
a lieutensncy in bis company and
followed Stonewall Jackson in his
brilliant campaigns until be was
disabled by wounds from active
service in the field. Returning,
his civic career was alike honora-
BILE and he served with credit in
the Sheritfalty of the parish. He
also filled other public trusts with
equal fidelity. In appreciation OF
his military and civic record his
comrades honored him with the
Commandership of Alcibiades De-
Blanc Camp U. G. V. He was a.
kind and loveable in disposition
as he had been brave and true in
the discharge of his duty. and he
will be deeply regretted by bis
innumerable friends throughout
the State. He leaves to mourn bis
passing away to the Walhslla
where he will rest forevermore
with the hosts that followed Lee
and Jackson and DeBlsnc, a be-
reaved widow, six sons and two
daughters, to whom we extend our
heartfelt condolences.

are obtained when taken as soon a. Q

but the complainants will do we'll
to remember that the deficiency
can not be charged wholly to the
railroads, aud that much of the
confusion aud the tie up is the re-
suit of the unscientific and unne-
cessary guarantees that were put
in operation by some States and
by many counties and towns.

A Car Famine.

Times. DomOcrat.
Shippers, especially in the South
west, are hearing with some alarm
that a car famine is impending.
Such famine frequently prevails
at this season of the year, when
crops are beginning to move &C
lively; and the Southwest has al
ways been one of the worse suf-
ferers. What renders the situa-
ton very unpromising to-day is
the extent to which freight has
been tied up in some sections by
guarantees. With the withdraw
al of the guarantees the railroads
fiud themselves called on to take
care of the freight sccumulations
of the weeks that was tied up. If
the roads can not handle all the
business rendered them at this
season, even in normal years, the
chances are against their doing SO
in a season SO thoroughly abnor-
NAL as the present one, when We
are asked to move in a few weeks

raj months. 1t is probable that
every shipper who has been tied
up by quarantine will want to

opening of traffic and feel dispos-
ed TO personally resent any delay

will certainly hear more COM

the case, st. Martinville has not

certificates to show they had not

Cost of the Presidents Trip.
Daily States.

Daily States.
1t has been given out at WASH
ington that President Roosevelt
will pay out of bis private purse
all OF the expenses of his present
Southern trip which it is estima-
ted will amount to about $4,000.
We are told the President feels
that is the right thing to do as be-
proposes to take a firm stand be-
fore the next Congress in favor of
government regulation of railroad
rates in opposition to the views of
most railroad men. He believes,
however. that upon principle pub
lie officials should abstain from
accepting favors from transporta-
ton companies, although in the
case of the President of the Uni
ted States whoever he may be, the
companies are not themselves los i.
ers by the transportation given
him. but are gamers as they are
enabled to run excursions all along
the presidential itinerary.
However, in paying his own ex-
penses the President is taking the
right stand, although the fact is to
be deplored that such a heavy
drain is to be made upon his pri-
vate purse when it is quite we'll
understood that the trip is to be
as much in the interest of the
country as to crafty his personal
desire to see the South and know
it's people. There is little reason
to doubt, however, that during
the coming season Congress will
pass a measure creating a special
fund out of which to pay the ex-
penses Of the President when he
10 called upon to visit the several
sections of the country. There
will be no objection on the part of
he people to the adoption of such
measure, because they are op-
posed to their President being
placed under obligations to the
ailroads for free transportation,
IT required to pay his expenses
mt of his own salary, which is
zone too large to meet all the de-
hands that are made upon it.

Mysterious Explosion.

New Iberia, La, Oct. 23.-Last
night, about IL o'clock, a terrific
explosion occurred in this city,
which was heard for miles around,
and for the time being caused
much alarm. Some person or per.
sons placed dynamite under the
sidewalk in front of the Masonic
Temple, in the sewer pipe that
leads to the rear of the building,
the lower floor Of which is occu-
pied by j. R. Taylor, druggist,
and the explosion tore up the
pavement and sidewalk in front Of
the building. but did no damage
to the store or contents. Bull
diDgs in the neighborhood for
blocks were shaken by the explo-
sion. No cause can be given, nor
any clew to the affair. Several
robberies were committed later in
the night, and at an early hour
this morning a photograph tent,
which contents, was destroyed by
fire, all happening in the radius Of
a few blocks.
