The Louisiana Troubles.

West, one of the Louisiana Sen
ators in the United States Senate,
and Pinchback, who aspires to be
the other, declares that oil is well
in Louisiana; and yet from Frank
lin, New iberia and New Orleans
come up reports showing that the
situation is indeed grave. 1t may
be that all is well when all over the
State the people are becoming with
each succeeding day more firm in
their determination TO resist the
collection Of taxes by the Kellogg
government, and to refuse in every
way to recognize its validity. And
the state of affairs is much worse
in those sections Of the State in
which armed conflicts are imminent
or have occurred because Of the en-
ployment Of Metropolitans from
New Orleans to install parish ofiic-
ers over an unwilling people I Is
there to be no respite from this I'M
til the meeting of Congress, or will
the gross usurpations of the past
be sustained by still grosser out
RACES upon the peoples If Kel-
logg can neither wheedle or coerce
the people of the State into SUBJ
mitting TO his rule and acknowledge
ing his authority, will the United
States bayonets be furnished to
sustain the government which a de-
based judge, and incompetent At
torney General and a criminally
partisan President foisted upon the
people! Or have the President
and his advisers learned discretion
by experience, and will they suffer
Kellogg to stand or fall as his own
strength or weakness shall deter
mine Will they use United
States troops simply to prevent
conflicts between the Metropolitans
and the people; or will they sus-
tain the former ia their attempts to
make Kellogg's usurpation com
plete in ali its parts free Press.

which nnderlie the proper opening,

which underlie the proper opening,
conducting and closing of sets OF
books for the various business pur-
suits of the country, and for cor
porations as well as individuals,
should be generally and well under
stood. This requires that these
principles be Systematically taught
and practically applied in our
schools, which pre-supposes a knowl-
edge of the subject on the part OF
teachers that comparatively few
now possess. AS the State has
made no adequate provision for this
class of instruction, the lack for the
present can be supplied only by in
dividual enterprise on the part of
persons who realize the want and
are willing to put forth an effort to
meet it.
The necessary arrangements have
been made for conducting a Teach
ers' Institute at the Mayhem Bust
ness College, of Detroit, in which
such instruction viii be given, and
upon which the Teachers of Michi-
gan and the country are invited to
attend. Persons employed as Teach
ers will be admitted free to a course
of twenty or more well graded lee
lures and drill exercises, upon the
simple condition of regular attend
ance. The Institute will he open
Monday, July I, at . p. NJ, and
close Friday, July Is, and will hence
occupy only q portion of the time
usually devoted to the summer va
cation in our Public Schools.
Conductors of journals friendly
to this enterprise are invited to
copy this article and call attention
to it. The cooperation of school
officers is likewise solicited.
