The schools.

We extract the following paragraph
from an able article in the n. 0. Plea
yune, written by Mr.. Danl Denhett.
This is right handler that strikes the
shameless school director between the
eyes, and brands him with a mark OF
ScOrn
The schools of Louisiana are in a
shocking condition. 1t is a burning
shame that somewhere between the law
makers and the parish school boards
there is a great fault that permits the
children of the State to grow up in ig-
norance. do not pretend to say what
man is to blame; but somebody is in
fault that many of the children OF this
State, thousands, it not tens OF thous-
ands Of them, should be allowed to
grow up to manhood and Womanhood
without knowing the alphabet, and
without knowing how to spell or write
their own names. The people need de-
| tectiyes to trace this matter up and see
at whose door the blame should be laid
king no provisions for lifting the chill
1dren of poor and ignorant parents above
| the level of outside barbarians. When
| a bank is robbed or a house destroyed
| by an incendiary they put detectives on
the track to find out who did the mis-
chief; when bad school law has been
enacted, or school funds are not paid
over to school boards, as the law and
Justice require, and ignorance is fas-
tened upon thousands of children as a
consequence, there ought to be a peo-
| ple,s detective to find out where the
difficulty lies, that the remedy may be
| seasonably applied. Information is
called for; who can give it

The Dog in Politics.
IN. O. States.l

N. W SltlGS.t
A correspondent of the States Illus
his voice in vehement denunciation Of
the dog nuisance which affficts this city
He has not said a word amiss. The
multitude of wretched ours OF every
degree, lean and fat, NANCY and heal
thy, that infest this city. endangerlng
our lives and making night hldeous
with their barking and yelping, is a
scandalous disgrace to the city ana
reflection upon our mnnlclpal func-
tionaries.
Occasionally, there is dog ordinance
passed. aud feeble and spasmodlc
effort made to enforce it; but sooner or
later the law becomes obsolete and the
ours again resume their sway, to the
disgust of the decent part OF the com
munity. We had one OF these dog ralds
last summer, and Commissioners Meaiey
very materially abated the nuisance.
But the law has either been repealed,
or it has fallen into disuse, and III many
portions Of the city the noise OF these
Wretched brutes is next to lntoleraole,.,
In many portions of the country tne
| dog nuisance is almost as prevalent as
| it is in the city. Every negro has from
two to half a dosen miserable half
starved cur dogs about his cabin to an
nov and infuriate every traveller on the
road. o
| Why is not this nuisance abolished
What claims has the mOngrel cur dog
cot on the public that he cannot pc
suppressed Our law makers seem to
regard him as did the ancient Egyp-
tians. as something sacred, which 1t is
a sacrilege to harm. In short, the cur
dog is power, a great influence IN city
and State politics and legislation. Ihls
| is due to the fact that the negroes are
voters, aud the negroes own the great
majority of these vagabond CANNES.
/ No law is more unpopular with TINS
class of American voters than regular
dog law. They are equally opposed to
/ a tax on these brutes and to law TOT TOT
their determination, and hence the
average law maker touches the dos
nuisance very gingerly, and II the law
maker happens to rise to an unpfece,,
dented height Of independence ana
enacts dog law the administrators OF
the law are very apt to let the law ear
sorce itself as best it can. To sum up,
/ the dog in politics is the result OF the
anigger" and the politicians in politics.
/ This summer already a number OF
persons have been bitten by mad dogs
i and only day or two since the child OF
4 Mr.. Marshall j. Smith was the victim
of one OF these animals. Let us have
a new departure with reference to dogs
Let dog tax be imposed and rigidly
1 collected and all dogs on which It is not
paid, or which, whether the tax be paid
or not, are found running loose in the
streets, be killed. If this line OF action
3 were adopted, the finer breeds OF dogs
only would be kept, and these would
bring some revenue to the city, Whlle
a great and dangerous nuisance would
be abolished.
