this an issue in the next campaign, we serve
notice on you now that we will meet you half
way and a little across the line. The waning
prospects of the ''ring'' cannot he bolstered
up by such anathemas as you hurled at the
trustees last evening, and the fact will be
more patent in a few months from now.
The Record furthermore says the RIVER
PRESS has made this a personal matter and
has even attacked can u%noffending little
boy" We deny the impeachment. We
have referred to no one personally except
Mr.. Healy who has an organ to talk back.
As to the boy We only stated that he was
seen playing or the street with a colored
companion, and it is the gospel truth. But
the fact reflects no discredit whatever on the
boy. We respect the opinions of those who
take the other side of this question, knowing
they have a free and perfect right to do so.
We simply claim the same privilege. 1t is
not a personal matter at all and the efforts
of the Record to make it such should be dis
c~ountenanced.
Reference is made in a sneering way to
the twelve men who signed the card in last
weeks RIVER PRESS. The Record will
please remember that these twelve men are
patrons of the school, twice as many
as signed the other petition with a
knowledge of what it was. And as that mis-
guided sheet has seen fit to make a personal
and political issue of the color question per-
haps these twelve men may take q halo and
make it interesting for the Record political
outfit. A few more personal TRADES like that
of last evening would effectually cook their
goose, so to speak.

The Records Screed.


The Record last evening contained a half
column editorial in denunciation of the trus-
tees because of their action in admitting col
ored children to the school,. Not having any
arguments in support of the position
it has taken, nothing was offered but abuse
and threats-as if anything that d%isreputable
sheet might say would influence the Board
to the least extent in the performance of their
duty.
In his meudlin frenzy the editor imagines
he sees in this course on the part of the trus-
tees a deep laid political scheme to elect them
selves to Offices, and he calls upon the people
to remember that at the polls. If it will be
any relief to the frantic scribe we will now
inform him that the trustees have no political
aspirations. They nave simply performed
their duty as they understood it without al
lowing politics to enter into the question. In
one breath the Record man says the action of
the Board is opposed by a great majority of
the people and in the next that it was decid-
ed upon for political effect, to lift themselves
into Office. If the first proposition is true
they are certainly taking y very foolish
course to attain the object imagined by the
Record man-who has let his zeal lead into
r uber illogical grounds. But if the Record,
ut the behest of the ring" wants to make

and Captain Moore, members of the
Board, are in the city to confer with
Captains Marshall, Miller and James,

The State Board has some funds on

There will be a good understanding
and hearty cooperation on both sides.
1t is also hoped that prompt action
will be taken as it is all important
that the levee be repaired and con-
structed before another great overflow
occurs. The Mississippi river does
not wait on boards or contractors or
theorists. When it is ready it comes
like the tides Of the sea, but it never
comes at any appointed time.
