The Constitutional Amendments.
The late Louisiana Legislature
proposed a number of Amendments
to the Constitution of the State,
which are to be voted on in the
November election for ratification
or rejection by the people. These
proposed amendments will be found
upon the inside pages which the
Chronicle prints this week in order
to accommodate this extra matter.
The Chronicle force congratulates
itself upon being able to handle
this bulky increase, and is flattered
to believe that its get-up will CON-
pare favorably with the city papers
who have printed these amend
ments. 1t is pretty fair adver-
tisement of the resources and job
bling ability of this Office. As a
rule scarcely one out of five of the
country papers of the State can
handle this printing except as sup
plements printed in some other
Office.
In order to give our readers an
idea of these amendments in con-
.lensed form, We will state that i'll
substance they are as follows:
2. Authorizing the city of New
Orleans to issue $500, 600 in bonds
to pay teachers and portresses for
services rendered in 1885, 1886 and
1887.
3. Removing the Limitation of ap-
preparations to the, Ruston Indus-
trial Institute for maintenance aud
support.
s. Providing for the election by
the people of assessors aud tax
collectors in Orleans parish.
IL. Providing for IN additional
district Judge in Cnddo parish.
Ii. Providing for male or female
factory inspectors throughout the
State.
10. Providing for the Issue of
$S,OO0,000 of bonds TO complete
, sewerage, water and drainage work
in New Orleans.
80. Increasing the salary of the
attorney general to 1000 a year.
A. Amending article lao So
that the city criminal court judges
in Orleans parish may sit for each
other in case OF sickness or alb
sence for other causes.
l22. 70 amend article 2Sl of the
constitution relative to drainage
districts.
1877. Providing for two country
courts of appeal of three judges
each.
1S3. Providing for the accept.
ance by the state of the back pay
of Louisiana soldiers in the Span
ish-American war.
215. Amending article % so as
to exempt from taxation mortgages
on real estate which has borne Its
just proportion of taxation and
mortgage notes in the hands OF
the mortgage or transferee.
PIG. To fix the salaries of oil
district judges at $1,000.
We believe that all of these
amendments are proper, and should
be voted for in the approaching
election. They have been pretty
thoroughly threshed over during
the session of the late Legislature
and if there is any popular opposi
ton to any of them it has SO fal
escaped our observation. For thi'
reason we believe they can be &C
cepted as embodying the wishes O
the people. In the mean time ou1
columns are open for the criticism
any of our readers desire to express
on the subject, aud we reserve tn
right to change or amend our view
should more thorough knowledg'
render it just and advisable.

As AN octopus hunter it would be hare
to beat the president. This administration
will have many things to be remembered
by, but few will rank in popular memory
with the number of trusts detected and
exposed. In fact it looks as though the
presidents dictum that there were good
and bad trusts was near the point of dis
appearing. He has certainly located a
plethora of bad trusts, but there seems to
be minus mark still on the side of the
good ones. And the latest of these is the
packing scandal in Chicago. The presl-
dent would have passed this by in silence
il he could, and very properly too. 1t
would have made for rersonal popularity
and would have foregone both of these is
sues il he could have corrected the evil
without. publicity.

But those days soon passed,
we are young men and maidens
And fathers are talking OF going
out west,
Away to a new state, that far
away Michigan.
Just then sought by all as the
greatest and best.
And we like young birds in
a state Of unrest,
Are longing like them more
new sights to view,
Knew no better than willingly
leave the old home nest,
And fly far away to a
country so new.
And next up the Erie Canal
we are boating,
With a chest full Of dinner
to last all the way,
So idle and dull our
monotous floating.
As If in no hurry to up and away,
But at last we are through York
State and come to Lake Erie,
And take propeller that
travels by steam.
Meier thinking of harm till the
tempest in fury,
Is creaking our boat and
dispelling fair dreams,
But we called upon Him who
had charge of the pillows.
And ali landed safely far off
in Detroit.
Then with big covered wagons
and oxen to draw US,
We travelled more slowly
than going by boat,
Then over rough roads in all
sorts of weather,
1t seemed long ways to Ionia town
But we were not discouraged,
so many together,
Kept things pretty lively tho
weary and worn,
Now our journey IS ended, we
see log CABIN
Whose inmates find room TO
stow US away.
Never mlnding their own
or our crowded condition,
So glad to have neighbors who
were coming to stay.
But, Oh how we Jared in those
days of privationl
And sighed for the homes
we had left far away,
Where the cows wore no bells,
nor the mos quito sought rations,
Nor aught to disturb at the close
of the day.
And the whip-poor- too
did oft serenade US,
As il they we're doing
kindness indeed
In talking Of whipping rs when
we were weary.
Aud signing for sleep and the
rest which we need.
Did we have good time.
who wishes to try it?
To make all the clothes for man,
woman and child,
With the old fashioned needle
and braid hats and bonnets,
Do homework, knit stockings,
tend garden and milk.
But those times are passed and
The worlds moving faster,
And children tend school till
grown women and men,
Little knowing how hard work
the mother and father,
II they haye a good time and
the money to spend.
Are the little girls happier
dressed up like ladies',
With dollies that open and
shut up their eyes,
Than we were Of old. hugging
up our rag babies.
And making them dresses we
thought looked so fine?
The children don't seem to be
half so contented,
For they often say grandma,
Oh, what shall do?
With dollies and books and
pictures all painted,
They tire OF them all. and must
have something new.
Then let US seek wisdom to guide
and direct us,
In teaching the children, in
counciing youth,
In all the mad rush of pleasure
or business, may our dear ones
Be guided by virtue and truth.
