TIFF aLEADERn VS.. FACTS.

The Leader of last week contains an
article shamefully abusive OF the State
Superintendent of Public Education.
1t is not our intention in noticing tito
defend the personal character of Mr..
Conway, for the attack reflects far
more disgrace upon the writer than
upon the person against whom it is
directed, and, furthermore, Mr.. Con-
ways character needs no defense at
our hands. The Leader makes two
intimations that are directly in contra
vention with facts. These are, first,
that the school system in this State is
much more expensive than in the
Northern States, and secondly, that
Mr.. Conway and his aids have accom-
plished little or nothing in the cause
of educating the children of the State.
In answer we quote the following par
agraphs from the Governors message
to the General Assembly:
The amount of the State school fund
which has been apportioned during
the year is 1906, 300 80. This sum
gave to each edueable child in the
State one dollar and sixteen cents, but
being applied only to the schools in
operation, the attendance of pupils at
which is estimated at ninety thousand
it has given for each child III actual
attendance the sum of three dollars
and thirty -nine cents; whereas In the
States of the North and West, the
average yearly cost of educating a
single pupil in free public school is
eighteen dollars.
The whole number of schools estab-
lished and now in operation is SIX
hundred and forty. The whole num-
Der of teachers employed and now re-
ported is one thousand four hundred
and twenty. When these statements
are contrasted with the neglected con-
dition of the youth of the State at the
commencement of this administration,
they furnish ground of honest salts
faction to those who have toiled labor
iously in securing such results.
The statements made in these para
graphs will be amply proven in the re-
port of the Superintendent of Educa-
ton, by facts and figures. Figures
will not lie )" and, by the way, that is
just the difference between figures
and the Leader.

MEETING OF THE FOURTH WARD
LINCOLN GLIB.

There was a called meeting OF the
Fourth Ward Lincoln Club at the M.
E. Church, Houmas street, Saturday
evening, December Both, 1871, which
was very fairly attended considering
the short notice given. :
Mr.. Noel, president, was in the
chair, and Mr.. L. E. Bentley was cho--
sen secretary in the absence of that
officer.
A few remarks from the president
upon the object of the meeting were
well received, after which Mr.. Pierre
Landry addressed the Club at some
length, and offered the following res
olutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, The time for o general
election in the State of Louisiana is
fast approaching, occurring according
to law on the 9TH day of November,
A. D. 1872 therefore
Be it resolUed, That we, the Repub-
licans of this parish, pledge ourselves
not to support any man for Office I'M
less he be a true and tried Republican
and is identified with the party and is
i'll full sympathy Herewith.
ResOlued, further, That we recog-
nize only one true and original Repub-
lican party of the State of Louisiana,
headed by his Excellency H. c. War
moth, in whom we regard all neces-
sary fitness for the leader-in-chief of
the Republican party of the State.
Be 1t further resoIped, That we look
upon any organization that may rise
in opposition to said original Repub-
lican party, as composed of Boilers
and Democrats, and we pledge our
united efforts to stay their power of
destruction from our party.
Short addresses were made by Mes
Sis. Lawrence Carriere, L. E. Bentley
and Sampson Grimes, all of which
were frequently applauded.
On motion of Mr.. Pierre Landry it
was resolved that the resolutions and
proceedings of the meeting be pub
lished in the DoNALDsoNvILLE CHIEF.
After adopting a resolution sane
tioning the action of Mr.. Pierre Lam
dry in making arrangements for a
grand New Years Day celebration,

motion to have regular meetings of
