SHALL WE HAVE TT

The B. r. Aduocate refers to
our remarks in last issue concerning
certain class of advertisements
which we denounced as inimical
to the interest of the press, and in
which we suggested that some unit.
ed action be taken to remedy the
evil, and produces some figures
illustrative Of tie operation Of the
system SO generally prevailing.
We could supplement these latter
with examples of propositions even
more preposterous than those
aduced by our contemporary, but we
conceive it to be unnecessary for
the purpose in view, as all conenc-
ted with the press are doubtless
familiar with the characteristics of
the contracts in question.
The .Advocate rcverts to a press
convention that was held some
four years ago to take action in
these very premises, and comments
on its abortiyeness, as evinced in
its practical results. We were not
Of that assemblage, not being in
the ield of journalism at that time
but are sufficiently acquainted with
its proceedings to know that its
enactments have not been carried
out in good faith by many who
were parties to them. This, how.
ever, is no reason that another at
tempt should not prove successful,
and as there are many other ques-
tons, involving newspaper inter-
ests, that are ripe for consideration,
Investigation and reform, we offer
the suggestion that the newspaper
men of Louisiana assemble in con-
vention, at Baton Rouge upon some
day in the near future, to be here
after agreed upon, to ta6e into con-
sideration all matters pertaining to
the interests of the press of the
State, and to institute such organ
ization and adopt such rules as
will insure the faithful and effect
ual enforcement OF all terms and
conditions that may be there a.
dopted. What say our brethren
throughout the State?

the ample and luxurious accommo :

fort of 1000 guests, it is needless
to speak as they are acknowledged
to be superior to those Of any other
resort in the country. It is how

INQUIRY since our last is

<--Further inquiry since our last is
sue develops the fact that the bond
given by E. L. Weber, Treasurer
of the school fund, was executed
in 1878; that the school board
appointed subsequent to that time
required no bond of Weber, and
that, of consequence, he has been
acting in the ca opacity of Treasurer
without the qualifications, required
by law. Weber has, within the
past few days, returned the books
to the present Treasurer. We
have not examined them, but we
are informed that they show the
receipt. on the part of Weber of
over $4,000 of the school money,
all of which is accounted for by
entries on his books, none of which,
however, are sustained by a single
voucher. There can be scarcely
any douDt that defalcation will be
shown, and the question arises who
is responsible for Weber's delin-
quency? The school board per-
haps, that failed to enforce a cons
pliance with the law? If they are
amenable, let them suffer. Too long
have these and similar Delinquent
cies been borne, and now, as the
organ of the people of West Felici>
ana. we.Snsist that justice be met
ed out to the proper party or par
ties, let them be whomsoev err they
