Democrat, and do not get in bad
mood if have to touch on your voca-
ton and cry out in behalf of our poor
tax ridden people, when even the gen.
orally liberal and kind hearted Printer
deviates from tile old path and now
comes in for more than his fair share
of the Parish spells. I know that the
laborer is worthy Of his hire, but that
in reform times should be within de-
cent bounds and not piled on with an
extrayasant hand. Well I have di-
crossed expressly to ask you to excuse
me, aud now make bold to assert that
the sum Of over two hundred dollars
for less than a months Police Jury
printing is rather enormous, especially
as in old times that sum covered all
printing expenses for whole year. l
hope the "PresiGent Printer" will par
don me in thus making bold to attack
his personal camp, and only attribute
it to motives purely for the good of US
all, and not from ill-will to him or his
personal interests. But he must be
candid and admit that for a reform
Jury the whole body have flew the
track and not come up to promises
made and the general expectations OF
our people. There is yet time and
room to retrace bad steps and toe the
mark of true reform, retrenchmeut and
economy. Let him join hand and
heart Osborn and Snellipgs, have a
cordial caucus together, listen to what
l have earnestly and honestly written
last week and now, turn deaf ear to
politics and tie interested few whoa
basking in the sunshine of their new
tangled political positions, look to the
good and true interests of poor Rap
ides, and am confident he will prove
a good Police Juror, public benefac-
tor, and I, with all our sorely Cypress
ed people, will bless him and the hour
he was lyached and borecd into office,
and made President.
Really, kind Democrat, I am sorry
to trouble you again and take up your
valuable space, but beg you will bear

people, you will insert this commnni-
cation and again oblige your friend

THE UNIFECATE0N MEETING.

meeting OF inc SympathlZeIs LII tie NC"
departure was held at Exposition Hail,
New Orleans, on Tuesday evening OF
last week. Accounts differ as to the
proportion of the white and black e1e-
ment. The Times says there was
majority of whites, but it seems that
so many of them were mere spectators
that hint was given them that no one
was expected to take part in the meet
ing unless he endorsed the principles
of the new movement. On the CONTRA
~ the Republican says that very
large majority was colored ard admits
that the whites did not show the same
disposition to carry out their "part Of
the contract" The speaking was all
on one side. Wm. NJ. Randolph, who
had been booked for speech, conld
not be found and Beauregard, the head
of the movement, was yelled for in
vain. No white man of any conse-
qnence but the irrepressible Marks
could be found to do the white part of
the talking contract" But Of negro
speakers there were a plenty. Lewis
and Burch and Allan spoke at length,
to say nothing of many Others WHO
we're bursting for q speech. They
were all of course anxious for the sue
cess of a movement whose motto is
"hcads | win, tails you lose"
1t is plain, from this meeting, that
the few whites in New Orleans, Dem
ocrats, and Liberals, who were duped
into this humbrg, have incontinently
abandoned it. And this is simply be-
cause of the firm stand taken against
it by the country press and the country
politicians. 1t has long since ceased
to be the rule for the country to swal-
low whatever the city offers, and the
city is beginning to find it out

are in favor Of the Democracy taking

parties form a platform which is in

Shall Western University be open
to Women.
BY HE.EN p. JENKINS.
From the Pittsburg Sunday Journal.)

From the Pittsburg Sunday Journal.)
Friday evening, while listening to
the oratory of the students Of "West-
ern University" l asked myself, "Why
is it these young men are educated
apart from their sisters?" "Why are
they like monks pc. BY themselves to
get the wisdom of books 7" And I
ask the public judgment, "Would it
not be better for the race if We would
follow Gods plan and place our sons
and daughters in school together, as
He has placed them in families to-
gether?"
The world is slowly awakening, after
centuries of stupid blundering, to fact
which comes streaming like sunlight
upon its weak eyes, fact more impor-
tant to human welfare than the transits
of Venus or the exploration of the Po-
lar Sea, the fact that the sexes must be
educated together if we would have
superior men aud women. China does
not believe this, India does not believe
it, Europe has not accepted it, but we
in America are beginning to get the
scales from our eyes, and it belongs te
US to prove to the world the wisdom
Of educating men and women togeth
er.
God never meant Us to live apart
