The State Legislature.
7he legiaslature of the State of
Louisiana which convened this week in j
Baton Rouge, will he li session
for two months. The members of
this body who are addicted to the
talk habit or who make it a practice
to introduce bills by the cart loads
are doubtless training hard to sustain
their reputation. it is really unfor
tunate that there should be so many
wind jammers and bill hatehers in
the legislative bodies of the different
States, and it is to be hoped that
some ingenious mind will blase away
for weeding out or excluding from
the legi-lstive halls this class of law
makers, who arc of no value or set.
vice to their State and brand tbemeel.
yes as muturiety.auekers. The people
have enough laws to govern them
and, in f:act, it haa almost come to
poas that the noeat law abiding eitli
" zuai in it cowwuuity find it a diffeilt
matter not to run afoul of some st.
utute. The law making power should
confine its&lf to the enactment of such
laws as ale nec.'ssary and useful, and
T they shon!d be framed in pain Ian
guage, with a view of making their
meaning and int&ent ehar and unmis.
tukable.
The tendency in construiteng laws
appears to be to couch them in such
terms as to convey a double mesnisig,
and the result is that the power of
making laws is shifted to the judges
of our courts. This may not be done
knowingly or purposely, but the fact
remains that it legislators were more
careful and painstaking in drafting
laws no two interpretations would be
possib'e, except ponaaiby in rare io
stances, and our jurists would not be
working overtime, while lawyers
would not appesr so painfully igno
rant and thie citizen would know his
rights and those of his neighbors.
Give us plain laws and as few of
them as possible, and we will have
peace and contentment.
Some of our State law makers
labor under the impression that
their zeal and eiciency will be mess"
ured by the number of bills they will
have introduced daring during their
- term of office. This, however, is a
mistaken idea. A legislator does not
win fame by the introdnetion of ni .
merous and senseless measures, but
is more likely to make his mark by
P employing his energy in an effort to
kill fool bills Adm prevent iniquitous
enactments. There is always a good
field for this character of legislative
work and members of the General
Assembly of the State of Louisiana
who want to perform their duty fully
and creditably are usualy afforded
the opportunity by their over zealous
and irrepressible colleagues, who are
made stoop shouldered by the count.
less bills which they carry and try to
unload on the unsuspecting and long
suffering citizens of this great com
monwealth.
We have a surfeit of laws. There
are so many of them that no one can
tell whether or not hls right to live
cannot be successfully contested by
some enemy and his pilgrimage on
this mundane sphere brought to an
abrupt close. The law makers can
not be too strongly mpraessed with
the importance and wisdom of cur
bing their desire to pass laws on the
wholesale plan. The rersonal liberty
and rights of citizens of a free cone
try are fast being encroached upon
by the law making power and a hall

Base Ball.
Avery Interesting game of hase ball
was played at the park last Sunelay
between the Houma Blues and the
Thibolfaux Greys. A large number
e of people were is attendance and
e everybody expressed themselves with
Ss being highly delighted with the game
though he Houma boys were out.
classed in many respects by our team.
A more gentlemanly set of boys
could not be found than the players
who composed the bouma tenm.
It Not one single kick was made during
th entire game on either side which
S fact made the game doubly interens
ting and enjoyable. The Ilouma
boys played in bad luck as they were
b compelled to face the Greys with'ut
their hest players aiad.the pitcher at
a that as he was on the sick list. The
Blues, however, put up a good game
° and if the people of Houma as well
i as the Times and Courier will give
their team the proper encourage.men'
we feel satisfed that the Houma team
h with a little practice will soon be able
dt to play good hall. Little sauiess in
1 never achieved where no encourage.
it went is given. People of [Iloma
support your team which is compo.
' ed of a jolly set of fellows and he.
fore the season is over you will have
cause to feel proud of them.
The following score will tell the
if tale of last Sunday's game.
