AN APPEAL TO OUR CITIZENS.
NEW ORLEANS. April 9, 1880.

NEW ORLEANS, April 9. 1880.
To the Editor OF the Democrat:
read In your edition OF Monday April 6. an
.sOpep Letter to the Public Rehool Teachers"
and think the suggestion to them a very good
one
/ desire to supplement Il by calling on all
the parents of the children In the public schools
to take some action. which shall prove to the
Legislature of Louisiana that we expect and
desire them to give some measure of relief to
these faithful laborers. Let every good citizen
speak out with no uncertain sound. There Ia
large and respected organization among us
the Sanitary Association-can they not add
their voice to this good cause2 There are other
soeieties also, whose united efforts would nave
great effect.
The bill. which would give the relief asked
for, ts q perfectly constitutional one, ana ehould
he passed without dissenting vote. We hope
the board OF directors VII, heel the suggestion
to allow the teachers to look after their own IN
tsrssts We hope that every citizen who knows
d legislator will behave to him like the Ancient
Marner to the Wedding guest ana hola MN LIN
vote to this bill, Ia which neither bribery nor
j obbery can be even suspected.
we believe Mr. Editor. that the best plan
would be for the fathers of children In the pub.
lie echools to assemble Ia mass meeting. ON
Wednesday evening. and thus e1press Ia &. way
that could not be misunderstood their wlahes
to thoae who. In this our own city and state,
have been ehusen to perform the viii OF the
people, The DEMOCRAT has earned the graft
fude of all rght-feeing citizens by Its fearless,
outRpoken words In behalf Of the relief bill.
and therefore we parents ask advice M TO what
As TIL best course to pursue which shall give to
our wiehea comman ling force.
