SCHOOL OFFICERS.

On Tuesday next. the voters of this City are
called to choose School Officers for the ensuing
year-some of the most important to serve
through several years ensuing. Some of them
will discharge this grave duty intelgently,
conscientiously, faithfully; others heedlessly.
recklessly many not at all. In the faint hope
of increasing the numbers of the first class,
we make this early and earnest appeal.
Fellow Citizens your duty is not limited
to voting. You are bound by solemn Obliga-
tons to inquire and investigate until you are
fully qualified to discharge this high trust
worthily. Begin to-day to gather information,
and be sure that next Monday finds you pre-
pared to vote as the public good demands.
If any one should ask you to vote Tor A.,
B., or c., because of that candidates politics,
your proper response will be, Get thee be-
"hind me, Satan" Politics are Of grave con-
sequence, and you should give them due
weight but not in the choice of School Officers.
He who enters o School Board as q partisan is
not fit to enter at all. But good and fit men
are or will be in nomination ascertain which
among the candidates are such, and vote for
them, utterly regardless of party. Let US have
no politics in our schools.

We have from Washington more signs of a
disposition to look after the thieves who con-
sent TO the burden of holding Government
offices at NewOrleans for the greater convent
ence OF stealing the Government funds If tho
newly-appointed Supervisor of Internal Revenue
for Louisiana can discover one-tenth OF the
reported frauds there, he will prove apublic
benefactor We have had pretty nearly every
form of rascality from that city to give COM
pleteness to the character of which its murder
Gus riots were only q One-sided development.
The rascals appear to have abounded in the
public offices but we cannot recall single
one yet punished. Even the great Treasury
defalcatOn seems to have hurt nobody but the

any improvement.

Of District Attorney Samuel q. Courtney Ia the best
possible evidence OF his Integrity and zeal I'm protecting
the interests OF the Government II will fail the
demonstration against Commissioner Rollins failed-be
villains engaged In 1t know that they cannot much
longer eyade Justice unless honest like Rollins and
accordingly making the most desperate efforts to
save their own necks."
Yes, yes but why should the Whisky Ring
want to have Mr. Courtney or any officer in
the Internal Revenue disturbed, when its mem
bers can make a hundred million dollars year
without even one being sent to prisonf We
venture to say that if Mr.. Rollins were placed
upon the stand tomorrow, he would state that
not more than one-third of tho tax for whisky
has been paid TO the Government, and that
fraud upon the Revenue is the rule and not the
exception. So long as this is the case, 1.-THE
