be expected that Providence will

Vote on the Louisiana COnstitu-
tiOnal Amendments.

Vote on the Louisiana C0nstitu-
tiOnal Amendments.
Time Democrat.
There is no reason to dOu bi
that the ten amendments to the
Louisiana Constitution submit
ted to the voter at the recent
election have been adopted; but
an analysis of the vote shows
how unsatisfactory is this mode
of framing a new organic law,
and how at random and thought
lessly the voters pass on amend
ments. 1t is. at the same time,
an argument against the refer
endum, showing how difficult
it is to get a law before the PEG
pie in such shape or form as
they can fully understand it,
and vote intelligently on it.
In no State in the Union have
more constitutional amendments
been submitted than in Louis
ana. We framed a Constitution
in 1893 and we have been busily
engaged in amending it ever
since, so that radical changes
have been made in all it's main
articles. It can not he said that
the work has been thought
fully done, nor is it by any
means sure that what has been
done expresses the popular will
Amendments, beaten by the
voters, have been resubmitted
again and again, until they have
finally slipped through from
lack of opposition. The vote on
the amendments has nearly
always been small, never a ma
jority of the electorate. and it
has therefore been q doubtful
and uncertain expression of the
people. We have commented
before upon the unsatisfactory
vote on the question. Let us
see how Tuesdays election
shows up in the matter.
There were ten amendments.
all of which were good, against
which no arguments of weight
could be urged, and which re-
ceived practically the unani
nous support of the press.
Four Of them proposed bond
issues for New Orleans and
Shreveport, and ought properly
to have been submitted to these
two cities alone. Two increased

ranged those of Treasurer and
Auditor in the matter of fees
and salaries. One allowed the
LEGISLATURE to give more for
pensions for Confederate vet
Grams. It did not increase these
pensions, but simply raised the
limit of the appropriation; one
created a juvenile court in New
Orleans, and Another author
lied the judges of the Civil Dis
trict Court to formulate rules
for the allotment of cases before
them. Finally there was an
amendment exempting from
taxation mortgage loans on real
estate and loans on life insur.
ance policies No. A.. the only
one seriously considered during
the campaign and for which any
fight was made.
It we look over the returns
to see how the people passed on
these questions we will find al
difference in interest IN the
several parishes impossible to-
explain; and a difference as toI
which were the best and which
the worst measures equally in

Bryan and the Future.
New Orleans Item.


New Orleans Item.
Only admiration will be ex
perienced by the American
people, of whatever party, in Con
templating the spirit of Mr..
Bryan in his reception of Tues
days national verdict. He voices
no bitterness because of the
Ohioan's success before the
people. More significant, how
ever. than formal express
sions of esteem. is the at
titude with which the great
Nebraskan has sustained the
stroke of his third defeat, a de-
feas which necessarily carries
with it a remuneration of his am
bition to be president. Follow
ing a hard-fought campaign, in
which he maintained his poise
through all the swirl of political
controversy, Mr.. Bryan accepts
his loss without vituperation of
pot-hunting politicians who sold
him out here or there, with court
eous words for his opponent,
brave prophecy for the future OF
his country. and manly accept
ance of the will of it's people.
Digniied and reserved to the
last, he stands in the shadows of
defeat with a belief ic the
virtue of his theories, and a
statement that the Office has
been merely the means
by which he could carry them
to successful consummation-
He towers higher in defeat
than many men attain in victory.
The campaign was marked by
strong charges on both sides.
Each candidate took issue with
his opponent on important events
in public life, criticizing acts or
words according to his own
views. This accords with estab-
lished custom. As long as the
private life of the candidate. or
his personal honor, are not un-
truthfully assailed, there can be
no objection to this arraignment
of his career in public service.
However. the passing of the cleo
ton seems to have drawn a cur.
tain around the campaign, inso-
far as the strong men in both
parties are concerned. They are
undoubtedly turning their eyes
and attention to things essential
to the progress of the country.
Whatever graduation the victors
may have, whatever bitterness
the defeated may feel, has found
expression only in rabid and un.
reliable publications repudiated
by the good sense of strong men
in both parties.
The future of Mr.. Bryan is i'm
portant as well to the nation as
to him. The mere fact that
of his fellow citizens
have expressed their confidence
and trust in him. is enough to
make his activities a source of
national import. AS the stand.
ard-bearer of Democracy he
spoke for double as many voters
as there were people in the
United States at the time the
first congress held it's sessions.
The armies that marched to the
to record their approval of
himself and the doctrines he adj
vocated give him a prestige which
defeat cannot take from him.
