There is no reason for the continued cry

IS rich and force her to the front rank of
states. Her assessment for 1850
shows valuation of SIT .O69. $50,
and for 1881, SlSl $3.50, 29l. This is wrong
and should be corrected. Such yalua-

A COMBINATION has been finally perfected
between the Times and Democrat, of New
Orleans, and the first issue under the new
management made its appearance Sunday.
The new journal seems to be backed by
money and talent, and we extend the HER
AIDS greeting to this candidate for popu-
lar favor and good wishes for its success.
We hail with pleasure all attempts to build
up journalism in the South. Both these
papers have been snterprising and infuen'
tial in the past, and the consolidation will
undoubtedly add in great degree to the
power and excellence of their publications
as well as ensure greater financial success.

pose Of discussing educational topics,
will you be kind enough to allow US the
space in the columns Of your paper to
suggest to them the subject of Compul.
sorry Education; not only to discuss but
to recommend and urge that the Legis-
lature pass u law to that effect.
We know that the greatest objection
raised against such law is there is no
one to enforce it and to have an officer
for snch purpose would make the
taxes too high.
We do not see any need for cucumber
ing the people Of the districts with the
expense of an officer. Let the consta-
BILE of each hundred enforce it and re-
ceivs n per centage on all the arrests he
makes.
We are confident that if the Legisla-
ture would pass a law requiring every
child from the age of six to sixteen to
attend school, there would be less need
Of increasing the police force in our
cities, and less need of the people in the
country keeping an arsenal in their
houses. Justice demands such law.
The educators and the well-thinking
class hope for it,
Let our professors, teachers and law.
makers see to this matter, that suffering
humanity may be benefited. W.
