The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1874-07-11

A correspondent of the Bos-
sier Banner, approving of the
good intentions of those. who
are seeking to reform our State
government and approaching
the necessity for speedy refor- |
nation, expresses the opinion,
however, that the better plan |
is for "the moderate men who
have not been violent in their |
opposition to the Republican
party" to SILENTLY cooperate
with that party in the present
juncture.''
Inthe present juncture above
all others, this strikes us as a
very imperfect one, to use no
stronger expression.
In the first place, the men
who have not violently .oppos>
ed the principles, policy, or the
outrageously bad rule of the
Republican party, are not the
men for an emergency requir-
ing. as the existing emergency
does, firmness, independence
and fearless advocacy of the
peoples rights. Practically,
We are living in a state Of
revolution, when moderate
men are naturally incapacita-
ted to lead. The times and
the disease demand strong,
heroic treatment. The people
have been assailed with vio-
lence- insulted and outraged !;
the patient has been gradually
sinking under the treatment
prescribed by moderate men
who have not violently thrust
the quacks and cormorants
from his bedside. In the treat
ment OF physical, as we'll as
morals ailments, it is a wells
established rule that violence
must be counteracted by vio-
lence.
/ And what has been the re>
suit of the efforts made hither-
to to conciliate the Republican
|party9 If we should advise
this correspondent to thrust
his hand into the fire, with the
assurance that he would be
benefited by the experiment,
he would regard the counsel
as the emanation of an added
brain. Have we not, ever
since 1869, by cooperation in
corrupt assemblies, by appeals
on the hustings, by Fusion,
and by almost every moderate
means, endeavored to bring
{ the affairs Of State, by the aid
Of Republicans, to q condition
Of decency and liberation

ED UCA TIONAL.; CONSTITUTIONS
T A correspondent of the Minneapo-
lis Tribune, writing from Hastings,
says:
If our early settlers and town pro-
prietors had taken as much interest at
an early day in securing the location
Of educational institutions as they now
express for the location of some kind
of manufacturing establishments, our
city would have been far more adj
vanced in population and wealth than
it now is.
This is sensible talk. They should
have done manufactures and not have
left educational institutions undone.
And this is just what the founders of
the National Colony have aimed at
from the first. We must have good
educational institutions at all hazards,
and have them as means of promot-
ing our material interests, if for no
higher reason. But there are infinite
ly higher considerations which bave
been the main inducement in all the
efforts Of this people to secure good
educational facilities. Worthington
may be made the educational centre
for q number of counties in this gar
den spot of the west, and the Wor-
Ellington Seminary, as the initial in.
stitution of learning, ought to have
the prayers and the best efforts OF
the community for it's speedy revival
and its establishment upon a perma
nent basis.
