this question? Heretofore sire has
pridCd herself on championing the op-
position to just such politics in its city
affairs, but now, she hops around on
her spindle shsnks, fiutters her wings
and in coiumn editorial tells the
proud and free born people of Louis
lana that such a combination is holy
aud Just. She tells them Gentle
men, in those parishes of the state
that Nichols is stronger than Ogden
run the former, in those parishes
where Ogden Is the strongest run him,
and when we all meet on the floor of
convention if Nichols has the most
delegates the Ogden men will GO for
him and rice versa.
Can anything be more brazen And
this is the proper translation of the
Nichols and Ogden letters
Read them for yourselves.
And after reading viii any one tell
Us there is not combination? Will
any one tell us there does not exist q
ring? And such Ring An unLoIv
alliance between antipodes of senti-
ment! The ''bulldozer" Ogden living
down with the - anti bulIdozer" Mich
oils. And for what purpose? Simply
personal one-to beat McEnery. This
is true, because the language of Gen.
Ogden's letter is simply ridiculous
when he seeks to say the affairs of the
state are not conducted for, and have
not been conducive to the welfare of
the entire state
4 question which the combination
lists have signa!ly failed to consider is:
Will the people Of the state enter this
gigantic Ring!
For the people OF the State of
Louisia IA, and especially of the parish
Of Natchitoches, We will answer them
in laundering tones-NEVER.
The Vindicator will use all honor
able methods to defeat this combina-
ton. If Gov. Nichols or Gen. Ogden
were each to run on their individual
merits, we would have nothing to say.
but when they pool their interests
and enter into a combination, we pro-
test In the name of the people of
Louisiana we tell them to halt.

if dry weather continues will soon be

Sugartown is improving, the Bap-
fist church at that place is much re-
yived under the faithful labors of Elder
Warren Hamilton, seven additions to
its membership in two months. The
additions are good material.
Politics quiet, McEnery all right.
Candidates for parish offices seem slow
in declaring themselves, but no doubt
they will make up lost time when the
canvass opens, then we will hear whose
grandmother had hole in her shoe.

NHISKTCHIFTO CREEK, Oct. 3, 1885.
To the Lake Charles Echo:
read with much interest in the
EcHo of the 29th ult., your editorial
on the subject of the failure of the
vote to levy tax of five mills on the
taxpayers of the town for the pur-
pose of erecting suitable school
building for public school. The
move is one in the right direction, and
your comments on the failure of the
vote are true to the letter, and give
forth the ring of pure metal, and it is
to be hoped that you will never ''let
up" till your efforts shall be crowned
with success, and the citizens of Lake
Charles and of the parish also, learn
that the best investment they can
make for the welfare of themselves
and the rising generation is and will
be in all time to come to provide means
for the education of all classes of the
rising generation. Lake Charles has
always seemed to me TO be stone
blind to her most vital interest, and
unmindful of the great principle I'M
DERIVING all real and permanent pros
perity. Lake Charles desires to pros
per, to become populous and -four
isbing city. She never can if she
negleets the education of her children,
and fai& to provide the means of edu-
cation to all. Her citizens must do
this or ever behold their town have a
sickly and deformed growth. 1t is
an old Lantin legend, that "whom the
gods help first help themselves" and
another, that "whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad" And
these may apply TO town, parish q
state or government. If the citi
zens of a town or country want immi
grafton of the right sort, if they want
help from abroad they must first help
themselves, and then they will present
inducements to intelligent people, the
kind most desirable to come and settle
amongst them and help build up their
towns and develop their country.
You speak Of the prosperity and
growth of Kansas. The same may
be said ofeverv northwestern territory
that has grown into state for the
last twenty five years. That state is
at least fifty years ahead ofns in point
of improvement and development, and
yet we are at least fifty years older
than she. The intelligence of her
people obtained through her common
school system has made her what she
is TODAY. The natural and uBdevel-
oped resources of Caleasieu parish,
taking into consideration the climate
soil, varied productions susceptible Of
growth were the tiRsber ard even
minerals, are eqaal to if not greater
than those Of the whole state Of
Kansas, and yet look at her and then
look at Us J ain well satisfied thai

if the same Intelligent and euterpris-
ing population that now iuhabit
Kansas were tomorrow set down in
Calcasieu parish, in FIVE years from
now this parish would be worth the
whole of that state. There the first
thing taken into consideration by the
settlers after securing shelter for their
familIes was the erection Of 9 building
for a public school, and taxes were
levied upon the people without q muir
mur for the maintsinHuce OF tire
schools for the larger part Of the year.
As they Prospered and towns spraug
up larger and more CoI1mOdions, build
ings were provided until to-day every
little town of less size than Lake
Charles has neat and convenient pub
lie school houses, and the best of
teachers provided where all both rich
and poor have access to the same
educational training. Since the war
political prejudices and gross miss
representations OF northern politicians
have done much TO retard immigration
to our borders. but that has nearly
died out, and now they taunt us with
our want of educational facilities in
which we do show a culpabie neglect.
