Brother Scanland is one of very
few editors who does not desire or
intend to cater to an already too viii
ated public sentiment, and feelings
and thoughts which are rapidly low
ering the moral, intellectual and So
cial status of all grades of society
His ideas are both correct and COM
mendable, and worthy of imitation.
Peoples VindicGtor.
Thanks, brother Breazeale. There
is a demand for more solid and edi-
flying reading matter, and complaint
against the rehearsal of SO much
crime; and it is to be hoped that less
prominence will be given to crime
and more to the deeds of virtue, and
thus encourage the spirit of emulation
in the nobler and higher walks of life
rather than to promote crime and
misery.

Recent Publications.

"MoRoCCo: It's People and Places"
by Edmondo de Amicis. translat-
ed by g. Rollin Tilton. limo, PIP.
374. New York: G.. P. Putnam's
Sons. Price, 81.
"Morocco and It's People" is the
fifth work of the author which the
Messrs. Putnam have given to the
American public. His "Constanti-
nople" was followed by "Studies in
Paris" by "HoIland and It's People"
by "Spain and the Spaniards," and
now, having crossed the Mediter
ranean, he has produced a really
lively pictorial volume on region
and people comparatively unknown.
The writer was called 10 join the
Italian Charge d'Affaires who had
been commissioned to present ere
dentials to the young Sultan, who
had assembled the throne in Septem-
Der, 1883. Great Importance was
attached to the embassy, as no such
display from United Italy had ever
appeared at Fee. He landed at Tan
giers, where he was obliged to re-
main for a season, which enabled
him to collect the materials at his
outset to portray the strange, weird
life of the population. The volume
is occupied with details of the jour.
ney to Fee, and then to the sea-shore
at Arzilla, on the Atlantic, and
every page contains a succession of
pictures which show an unusual
ability in presenting the strange
features of Moorish and Arab life.
GOLDEN SANDS. A collection of

and happiness of daily life. New

Price, $3.50.
One of the handsomest books of
the year in the quiet beauty of its
illustrations and its beautiful print.
It is a collection of little gems of
thought-wise counsels for life in
its studious moments; the kind Of
book to catch up when tired of the
heavy burdens of every day life,
and the heart has a longing to reach
into the future.

Local Improvement.

1t is one of the purposes of the
State press to labor for the promotion
of every object that viii advance the
progress and prosperity of Louisiana.
This is the feeling among the editorial
fraternity. But the press can, of
itself, do but little. Editors may
suggest; it remains for the people to
do the work. There are several lines
on which improvements can be made
one SCOTLAND another dealing
with material development. It ap-
pears to us that what our people
chiefly lack is disposition to promote
local improvement. Compare Louis
lana with any of the newer States and
one viii find that a great difference
consists in the way the people act in
regard to their local matters. In the
newer States settlement is no sooner
made than q fine school house is
erected, and other people are then
induced to locate in its vicinity, good
churches are built and the congrega-
tons centre around them; substantial
storehouses and printing presses fol-
low, which in the progress of time
attract trade and tlAs the nucleus of
town is created. Paint is freely
used-it preserves the houses and has
tendency to ''level people up
And then the roads are put i'll good
repair, the farms are well tended aud
the citizens of the vicinity begin to
have a pride in their locality. They
try to make their settlement ''the
best and trying, they greatly i'm
prove their locality.
Now we believe that this is the
right way to improve Louisiana. The
work should begin in the neighbor-
hoods, and by the improvement of
each separate neighborhood the whole
State will be lifted up, and developed
The State is made up of these neigh
borhoods, and if any man wishes to
promote the common veal, he should
begin in his own immediate vicinity
That is the kind of philosophy we
wish to see taught in Louisiana.
''Local improvement" should be the
watchword-and when the spirit of
local improvement pervades every
neighborhood, the entire State will
be greatly advanced.

The crop of Presidential Blooms

The crop of Presidential booms is
steadily thinning out. After the
newspapers get through with their
nominations the people will take up
the work, under the rule of 'go as
You please, " and those for whom there
has been the largest amount of blow
ing will be found farthest in the rear.
The demands of the hour are that the
nominee shall be a man not only
thoroughly fitted for the position by
integrity and wise craftsmanship, but,
who has running qualities also. Such
a one will be twice called-frst by
the Democratic National Convention
and secondly by the people.

Democrats sound the slogan for
reform. The Republicans have held
power so long that they have become
corrupt. They are the ms and they
do not want to become outs. The
Treasury of the United States has
been drained to the dregs, and were
it not for the enormous tax imposed
upon the people, the Government
would long since have been bankrupt.
This state of affairs cannot longer ex-
list, if the good of the Government is
considered. Let us then to the front.
Let us give pledges to the people, and
after the party assumes reins of Gov
eminent, carry out and fulfil these
pledges faithfully and to the letter.
This course will perpetuate honest
Government in our country.

Volume twenty bird.

With this issue we begin the
twenty third volume of the Bossier
Banner, and we cannot refrain from
thanking our many friends and
patrons for their liberal patronage
bestowed upon us. We have tried
to give you good, reliable and in
dependent Democratic paper, filled
with sound reading matter in place
of cross.road gossip.
The Banner should be a weekly
visitor to every family in the parish.
During the % years Of its existence
it has made a host of friends, and,
no doubt, some enemies.
We will try and improve the Ban.
ner from time to time as opportunity
presents itself, and dish up the
straight, unadulterated Democratic
doctrine from week to week; but if
a Democratic official does that which
is not Democratic, we will, as here
tofore, speak right out in meeting,
and tell him so.
The Banner will continue to do
all in its power to check and dis
courage evils of all kinds, and will
assist those things that tend to make
our society better, our people hap.
pier and more prosperous. 1t will
not attempt TO keep on the strong
side, or the popular side, but on the
right side. We would like to have
every business firm in Bossier parish
represented in our columns. People
judge largely of a parish or town
and its surroundings by its paper,
and you should see that it shows all
1t really contains. You OF BossleT
desire as good and large paper as
any of your sister parishes have,
though they may be many times bet.
ter encouraged and more literally
patronized. We are willing to give
you the best we are capable of pro.
ducing, but must have your hearty
support in the matter. Try small
card during this volume and see il
you are not benefited by it; send an
extra copy to a relative or friend for
o year, and see if it does not bring
good; encourage your neighbor to
subscribe, and maybe he will thank
you for it before the close of the
year. The Banner works for your
parish and for your town, and its
interests are identical with yours,
and it rests largely with you to de-
eide whether it shall grow better
and larger and more widely repre-,
sent you in the future.
