chosen. Beside the advantages OF its

chosen. Beside the advantages of its
central location and the ease with
which it is reached from all portions of
the State, this city possesses social and
other attractions that will naturally en-
tice our brethren of the country here
and at no other season of the year is it
so attractive and pleasant, or so full of
people, as during the Carnival. The
country editors will find themselves
thrown in communication and inter-
course at that time, not only with their
brethren of the city press, but with
journalists from all portions of the
country, from the North, the East, the
South and the West.
A very pretty feature OF this meet
ing, and one which must give it addi-
tional interest, is the invitation ex-
tended to all, but particularly to jour-
nalists, to compete for the best literary
production and the best dissertation on
the material resources of Louisiana,
two prizes of $50 each, or medals of that
value, to be awarded to the successful
competitors. We are requested to ask
those candidates anxious to secure
these prizes and honors to please adj
dress their compositions in time for the
meeting to Secretary l.. Il. Bently, at
Donaldsonville, or to the president of
the association, care of the Times-Dem-
ocrat. Committees will shortly he ap-
pointed to whom these essays will be
submitted and by whom selection of
the best will be made.
We hope this will cause the coming
meeting of the association to be better
attended than former ones, arouse some
interest in 1t, and, at the same time,
encourage home talent. Such essays
are usually read before the Press Asso-
Citations of other States, and there is Il
warm and earnest contest in them to
secure the honorable position as essay
lists. Our press organization is now
so firmly and permanently established,
and is growing so rapidly that it is
time to place it on full equality with
similar bodies in Texas, Mississippi
and other States, to make it not mere
ly friendly meeting for social inter-
course, but an educator, to encourage
literary skill and development, to inn
prove our press and make it worthy Of
popular support
The last Meeting that was held in
this city, during the carnival, was well
attended; we have reason to hope that
the country press will be still better re-
presented here next month, and that
the joint attractions of the carnival,
this meeting and this literary contest
will call together enough journalists to
show the strength of the press of Lou
isiana. On the part of New Orleans
we promise hearty Welcome to all
brother Journalists, and the best that
the city can afford.

A COLORED MANS REPLY TO 4 WHITE
REPUBLICAN.

| Our readers will remember that after
the November election a white Itepub-
lican leader named John II. Dink-
grave, who is held in some reputc in
his parish (Ouachita), resigned his
membership on any Republican COM
mittee to which he might have been
assigned and announced his intention
to hereafter take no active part in pol
itics, as they now are" He was dis.
couraged because the colored men had
not voted for Gen. McMillen, the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in the
Fifth District; and in his letter to the
Hon. A. j. Dumont he used the fol.
o wing words
"Belicving that the colored mon of
the district will not soon learn to ap-
preciate their advantages and chances,
and that | can do them no good politi-
cally, because they will not help them
selves, l am unwilling, longer, to
spend the best Of my life fruitlessly.'
We presume that this is the sting
which has walked up George T.. Bowies
of Concordia parish, who is out with
long and rousing letter in the Concor-
dia Sentinel, in reply to Dinkgrave.
The letter shows for itself that Bowles
wrote it, and it has some good things
in it. We reprint few sentences,
from which we conclude that the col.
ored people are amply competent to de-
fend themselves against their white
leaders, and are rapidly reaching a
position of independent thought on
political topics which will qualify
them for their political responsibilities:
"Mr. Dinkgravc says his faith in the
colored people is gone. Why? Be-
cause, he says, the colorcd people have
failed to recognize the precious boon
of liberty and manhood In other
words, his faith in the colored people
is gone because they did not vote in
the last election to suit J. II. Dink-
grave. His faith i'll them is gone be-
cause they, the colored voters, like the
other more enlightened races of the
earth, are learning to think and act in
politics according to the dictates of
their own conscieuces.
"The colored people of the United
States will never prosper in politics I'M
til they divide in political sentiment
like the white people. 1t is no use to
try TO disguise the fact that as long as
luc Soloicu peoIie Vi Tue SOutn eS-
pecially, are arraycd upon one side,
nine-tenths of the white people of the
South will be arraycd on the other side
against them.
"The colored people of the South
owe their freedom to Democrats Rs
well as Republicans. Garfield was Il
Republican and fought in the United
States army for the Union. Hancock
was and is now Democrat and done
equally rs well rs Garfield for the pres
ervation of the Union.
"The colored people are grateful for
the boon of liberty and for the right of
the elective franchise, and in the late
election they tried to show their graft
tude by voting for the candidate they
thought best fitted to represent them
in the halls of our national legisla-
turc, Mr.. Dinkgrave's opinion to the
contrary Notwithstanding ~. O.

Wholesome Discipline

The trustees of the Mad River Vall, Y
society have been administering little
wholesome discipline to the agricultural
boss lrot" men.
At their fair this fall, there WAS tro,
for the societies purse of one hundred dol.
lars, and during The trot, it was quite evi-
dent that the driver of the slowest horse
pushed on the lines till he brought his
horse in ahead, we think in three s,rai,
heats, at any rate he won HE race and
nominaliy, first money. There were foul
horses in the race, and when it was
trotted, there WAS a general impression
that he thing was all arr anged before
hand and that the horse named WAS to win
In fact at The close of one of the heal.
the dryer OF one of the other horses lie
him out Tor squirt after passing lh'
judges stand, and be showed gait which
if he had taken during the race would hav,
ds:snced the winning horse, and ther,
WINS where he was foolish.
The directors taking he matter in hanC
at n subse quent meeting, boldly asserted
fraud. and dishonest driving, and ordered
the payment of the purse stopped. Ant
30 the drivers of the horses in this rae,
had their fun for their pains
And we say the directors were perfectly
right.
This horse trotting at fairs is nj leas
questionable at the best, and where Their,
is evidence of fraud, of races bling SOLE
out, and the division of the purse arranged
by the jockeys. before it is trolted, th,
directors should as in this case promptly
condemn The thing and punish their trick
cry by Withholding all The money. We
conf mend the example of these director.
to those gentlemt who occupy like posi-
tions in other societies..
