LEGISLATURES AND THE
PEOPLE.

Popular loss of confidence il
the representatives Of the people
is an alarming symptom in a re
public. declares the Youth s Com
panion, and there can be no ques
tlon that in majority of the
states the voters no longer re-
spect and trust their legislatures
as they once did. The proposal
to take from those bodies the
right to elect United States Sena-
tors is only one evidence of the
fact; there are many more, patent
to every observer.
In many instances the legis
latures are furnishing the best
Of grounds for this loss of con
fidence. Corruption, cynical and
unblushing has been proved to
exist in the state capitols. Of COM
monwealths whose general moral
standard is by no means below
that Of their sister states. In
competence and lack of either
principle or courage is evidenced
in state legislation again and
again. It is no wonder the people
are uneasy and indignant.
But the fault is not to be laid
upon the shoulders Of the legisla-
tors alone. What Of the "busi-
ness men" who deliberately set
about the purchase of the people s
representatives? What Of the
really honest and capable men
who are too busy" to interest
themselves in politics, who have
"no time" to serve in the legisla-
ture. and to discharge the public
duty which their very intelligence
and ability lays upon them ?
What Of the mass Of the voters
who allow political machines to
nominate unfit representatives,
and who then vote blindly for the
men SO nominated?
It is a generally low tone of
public spirit that must be cor
tacted if legislatures are once
more to become respected and
worthy of respect. Occasional
Exposures and ephemeral
bursts Of indignation are not OF
much value. Unless the greed,
the selfishness, the inertia, the
unwillingness to serve the COM
munitv. the dull acquiescence in
unworthy methods and unworthy
motives in politics, which are at
the root of onr- difficulties can be
overcome, the future is not hope
full.
England, once threatened as We
are to-day with widespread gov
ernmental corruntion reused up
public spirit which was sufficient
for the correction Of abuse. Shall
America be less resomceful, less
patriotic. less virile !-Ex.

THORNTON SPEAKS AGAINST
RECIPROCITY.

Washington. June 27.-Senato
Thornton Of Louisiana, in th'
senate this afternoon, briefly out
lined the reasons for his oppsi
tion to the Canadian reciproclt,
bill. He did not speak long, but
went straight to the point and re
ceived close attention.
~ think it is generally known,
he said. s'that I am opposed to the
Canadian treaty in its presen:
form. On the very day that agree
ment was sent to the senate
wrote to Louisiana stating that
in my opinion, some provisions OF
the agreement operated as an
unjust discrimination against the
agricultural interest Of some sec
tions of this country, and for thai
reason, and for no other, | could
not support it in the shape in
which it was presented.
"Before | went home after ad-
jou1nment Of congress my position
on that subject was well known to
few of my brother Democrat sen
ators and possibly to one or two
Republican senator's. My position
for several months has been thor
Oughly understood bv the people
Of Louisiana.
GAS to the pending Root
amendment. | must confess that |
do not very clearly understand,
that neither it's adoption nor its re-
lection will have any effect on the
reciprocity bill so far as it relates
to its being accepted by the Do
minion of Canada. There seems
to be lawyers in this body as to
what it's effect might be, but to
me, at least, I do seem to see that
the measure is calculated in one
point, not a very important point
either, in my opinion, to correct
any inequality in the bill whereby
citizens Of the United States would
be put on a fairer plan with the
citizens Of Canada than they are
without it; and believeing as /
do, that through the provisions Of
this treaty Canada is receiving
far more advantage than the Unit
ed States will be receiving from
it, and as | do not wish to give
Canada any assistance in the way
Of getting any greater advantages
from the treaty over the United
States than it is already receiv-
ing, l shall vote in favor Of the
Root amendment unless my views
are changed by further discrc
sion. In voting that way | do
it with perfect knowledge that
the amendment is doomed to de-
feat"
Senator Foster did not speak
today, and probably will not do

HALL AN IMPOSSIBILITY.
NUMBER 18

Hall for Governor is an impos-
sibility.
He has broken faith with the
people of North Louisiana after
soliciting from them and getting
from them an office of great hon
or and Of great responsibility and
which he lightly throws aside even
before the time to enter upon the
discharge Of it's duties. He weak
ly permits himself to be used to
pull the chestnuts of political
combine out Of the fire. He has
traded the prestige of a popular
victory for a judicial position off
to be used as the plaything of
designing men and crafty inter-
ests. He has loaned his name
and his influence to a brazen at
tempt at Bossism as ruthless as
domineering and as undemOcratic
as has ever been charged against
any political ring in the history of
Louisiana.
Hall weakly permitted John M.
Parker to dissuade him from his
purpose to take his place on the
Supreme bench-is there any guar
antee that with Hall in the exc
cutive chair John M. Parker will
not continue to be the evil genius
Of the administration Will he
not have stronger pull with q
Governor that he selected than
with the man who had to be pulled
off the Supreme bench in order
that the plans of the Good Gov
ernment League and the hopes Of
the interests, political and other
wise, identified with it might be
accomplished Shall spotted De-
mocracy be rewarded and habit
Of boltingsDemocratic nominations
be SO soon forgot?
1t has been suggested that, hav-
ing led the League to the commits
sion Of this supreme folly and
having witnessed the crowning Of
his plans, Parker will discreet.
ly retire to the background and
let the lesser leaders consummate,
if possible, his cherished dream. 1t
recalls the story Of that Emperor
Of Rome, who, having given his or
dersand knowing that they would

voluptuous seclusion Of his garden

AND WHY NOT, PRAY?

Let all OF us be at least decent
ly fair towards each other, and
especially towards each others
candidates for office.
And in that regard why should
the Times-Democrat propose to
caustioally criticise Mr.. Miche1's
address to the public, in which he
outlines his policiesg The con-
temporary evidences heat and a
hatred to all things and to every
one not it's way Of thinking,
which is. | was going to say in
decent. but I will say unbecoming
in Journalism claiming to be at all
imnartial.
The contemporary proposes to
"show up" Mr.. Michel's failure to
comply with platform promises
by including him in Mr.. Sanders
laches as charged against him in
that respect.
If Mr.. Michel is to be held re-
sponsible for the alleged short
comings of the Governor, then all
the other State officials should
be included in the indictment.
Now l venture to assert the es-
teemed contemporary will not
dare follow its logic in respect to
Mr.. Michel's platform to its legiti-
mate conclusion, and oppose every
official for reelection who is now
a part Of the State Administrai-
ton! : -
Mr.. Michel's place has had no
more connection with the Chief
Executives powers, duties and
performances as such. than any
other State official. and much less
than some Of them. His duties
have been merely clerical, and IN
his work he has been clean, pains
taking, intelligent and faithful
He has perfect right to contest
FOR Office. He is as able to con-
duct that to which he now aspires
as any of his opponents. He is as
entitled to fair treatment as any
Of them. His pronouncement is as
worthy Of respect, of merit and OF
honesty of pledge and purpose as
Mr. Aswell's or the Good Govern
ment Leagues.

A most remarkable condition Of
political affairs exist at present in
Monroe. The three aspirants for
Governor have many ardent sup
porters, each claiming the vote of
the city and parish. We venture
the prediction that John I. Mi
chel will receive large vote in
this city and parish. His friends
are hard workers and are enthus-
iastic. DR.. Aswell has many
friends here who claim he will
poll a handsome vote. Naturally,
Judge Hall will make good
showing, but there are those who
declare he will not carry either the
,, city or parish. The voters do not
take kindly to the manner in
which Judge Hall was placed in
the race, and they will take this
