sign," as ths Times suggests. Like other
persons charged with offenses, the school
directors are entitled to the presumption
of innocence till they are proven guilty,
for it must be remembered that very helm
GUS offenses are charged against many of
them.
Why do the committee not send their
accusations to the State Superintendent?
We venture that if this proper course
is pursued, however irksome the task
may be, Superintendent Brown will be
found faithfully discharging his duty.
But it is as unjust to sworn and cons
cientious officer as it is unfair to the
badgered, abused and, perhaps, wronged
directors, to expect that Mr.. Brown should
'simply" ask directors to admit the
charges of immortality, etc., and :resign,"
or that he should himself impeach, fur
nish testimony, prosecute and pass SEN
tence on the directors. Gentlemen of the
committee, teke time, proceed regularly,
protect what you believe to be your own
rights, but remember that other people
besides you have rights, and are entitled
to consideration similar to that you de-
mand. A recollection of the golden rule
at this time might be of incalculable ad-
vantage in this unfortunate dispute.

We learn that Mr.. Alfred Shaw has ten
dered his resignation of the position of
school director to the State Superintend-
ent. We sincerely regret any cause which
has prompted Mr.. Shaw to take this step.
He is one of the best men for the place to
be found in the city. Able, intelligent,
industrious, patient, kind in his inter-
course with those who have business with
him, his name has deservedlv become
popular with all classes. We have heard
but one expression of opinion on the SUBJ
ject, and that is expressed above. The
position Of school director is one full of
perplexities, annoyances and anxieties,
for which small thanks is the usual re-
ward. But Mn Shaw is not the man to
shirk what he deems public duty on &C.
count of any such difficulties. There
must be some other reason, something
growing out of the recent partisan attack
on the School Beard, which has induced
this gentleman to tender the great Trust
to those who conferred it upon him. If
this be one Of the fruits of the Lafayette
square meeting, the gentlemen concerned
in it have little cause to be satisfied with
their work. We sincerely hope Mr.. Shaw
can lie prevailed upon to reconsider his
determination to resign.

Our announcement that a serious and
determined effort will be made to enforce
the law against carrying concealed weap-
ons gave great and widespread satisfaction
throughout New Orleans yesterday. All
recognize the seriousness of this evil, and
few are unwilling to see vigorous meas
ures adopted for its suppression. A large
majority of those who are guilty of going
armed frankly admit the wrongfulness of
it, and claim justification only on the
ground that it is necessity for self-de-
Tense against rowdies and loafers, who
would, but for fear of concealed weapons,
insult peaceable persons with IMMUNITY.
Remove this incentive, and pistol and
knife will be consigned to the closet and
rust.
This latter part of the work of reform
belongs mainly to the police and police
magistrates, and we are glad to state that
Superintendent Loans authority will be
fully exerted in its accomplishment. Or
ders will be given to arrest all parties
violating the law, and turkeys directed
to enter the charge of carrying concealed
weapons against all upon whom such are
found who may be arrested for other Of
lenses. We think the matter is assuming
shape which will speedily produce prac-
tical results.

1t has escaped our notice, and doubt
less that of people generally who are in
the habit of noticing Shreveport affairs,
that Mr.. A. H. Leonard is no longer con-
nected with the Types Of that city. At
the time we published the Packard Leon
ard correspondence, we were under the
impression that the last named gentleman
was a member of the fourth estate, and
still had newspaper to back him. The
latest received number of the Tines cor
reefs the error, and refers to Messrs.
Battle & Hearsey. whose names appear at
the head of the paper, as the responsible
editors. Mr.. Lsonard's name has not
been used in such q connection for several
months.

may be taken the industrial condition of
the South before the war, the pitiable
dependence of the South during the war.
and the much greater tendency to develop
all these dormant interests since the war.
If this reasoning has been correct, it
would be in the highest degree unwise to
reinstate the same school Of antagonism to
manufactures, internal transportation and
shipping in the administration of South
ern affairs. 1t is the ascendency of the
Democratic party at the South which has,
in our opinion, so long denied the South
the exercise of facilities for manufactures
and commerce which are, according even
to the opinion Of our Northern rivals, I'M
equaled.

cred by the most eminent of our States
men, financiers and philosophers. There
have been mass meetings Of 20, 600 voters
on many occasions, halls crowded to
overlooking, and torchlight professions
innumerable. The State has been ablaze
with enthusiasm from border to border.
Outside of the general issues which for
the past fourteen years have been cham
pioned by the two contending parties,
others of special import have been brought
into this canvass, until doubt is raised
whether Ohio should be national criterion
or not. The Democracy of this State
committed themselves to imitation, and
this theory of finance finds advocates
irrespective of party lines. They renomi-
ated William Allen, with hard money
record, who yielded to the eprrent, and
appeared on the stump as hearty advo-
cate of the soft money platform. Incon-
sistency is charged against him, as infa-
ton is denounced as dishonorable and
ruinous by stout opposition even from
men of his own party. Another marked fea-
ture is the public school question, and we
have witnessed the new spectacle in Amer
lean politics of church counseling its
members to vote solidly in its behalf with
the Democratic party. 1t is true that
both parties are pledged to the public
school system, but the discredit attaching
to platforms as political guide, united
with the commands of an archbishop. have
produced widespread distrust of good
faith.
Ohio ranked until 1873, as a Republican
State; then a Democratic Governor was
elected by 81 majority. The vote polled
WAS $4,000 less than in the presidential
election of 1872; the decrease being, Dem
ocrats $4,000, Republicans 6S, 1000. Sub
sequently, in 1874, for Secretary of State,
the Democratic candidate received ma
jority of 1900. The vote of Ohio for
the past ten years is given as follows

DEMOCRATIC INCONSISTENCY.

The Times and Bulletin, the principal
agitators of the indignation" manufac-
tured against the City School Board, the
getters up of the mixed" meeting in La
fayette square to demand separate"
schools, and the principal dealers in the
badgering and abuse which have been SO
unsparingIy lavished on school teachers,
directors and superintendent. and now
the representatives Of the indignationists
before the City School Board, seem un-
able for a few short days to control
their tempers sufficiently to respect thu
truce themselves have sought. They
have opened official communication with
the School Board on the subject of their
complaint, and the board has promptly
appointed committee to deal with the
matter. Propriety and decency would
seem to prompt cessation of hostilities
till the parley is ended; but not so; tie
subordinates are left to discuss the de-
mand for surrender while the bearers Of
