Taxpayers and Democrats just think
of it. The State Board Of Education
composed Of Gov. McEnery, Lieut-Gov.
Knobloch, Attorney General Cunning
ham, Warren Easton, State Superin-
tendent of Public Education and Capt.
j. j. Mellon, at meeting of that body
held in Baton Rouge some days ago,
dropped about twenty Of the text books
used at present in the public schools in
this State, and substituted twenty one
new ones in their stead. 1t may be
possible this change is actuated by a
desire to promote education and the in
terests Of the people, but as several of
the text books are not yet published it
is reasonable to suppose that it is one of
those Jobs which Radical Board of Edu
cation used to intlict upon suffering
community. This change means a
practical and actual loss of from five to
twenty dollars to every person sending
to the public schools and the additional
outlay of an equal sum to replace the
books foolishly discarded. And all
this, O We Gods, in the name of Mem
cry and Democracy !-Meridional.

The Ring Fest of Democracy.
PicaYune.l

We are told, in justification of Mr..
Eustis's denunciatiOn of the President,
that there was a sufficient prOvocatiOn
riyen the Senator when MI. Kernochan
was appointed Naval Officer at New Or
leans. We are told that against this
appointment Mr.. Eustis had
"filed vigorous protest, on the grounds that
question of principle was involved winch
struck at the life of Democratic organization III
louisiana He alleged that MI. Kernochan had
opposed the nominee of a regularly c0nstlthted
Democratic Convention for Congress in Presl-
Dental campaign"
It would no doubt be comfortable for
the Ring leaders to indoctrinate the
good people of Louisiana on the point
of blind obedience to "the machine"
In that case it was alleged, and gener-.
ally believed, that the nomination, OF
the party for seat in Congress had
heen sold by the managers in advance
of the convention, and the very best
Democrats in that district refused to
submit to such prostitution of their
RIGHTS as citizens. If Mr.. KernOchau
supported the independent Democratic
nominee he did so alongside of the pur-
est Democrat in the State, Gen. Francis
IT. Nichols. Where Nichols goes no
Democrat need fear to follow. His
Democracy has certainly never been
questioned even by corrupt men who
fear his hold upon the hearts OF the peo-
pie.
of the men who have temporarily
usurped control Of the machinery ut the
Democratic party in this State to estab-
fish their own test of party fealty.
But Mr.. Cleveland does not run the
Democratic party through ring specta-
Giles, and will scarcely draw the line
where these party saviors would fam
have him.
And letit be borne in mind that while
Hunt and Nichols and Kernochan and
other equally sound Democrats We're
lighting their meeting fires every night
and urging the people to stand by The
National Democratic standard bearer,
Mr.. Eustis and the State Central Com
mittee were sitting around and letting
Mr.. Cleveland's cause take care Of itself.
Not one man of the gang ever took the
field in his behalf, and but solitary
meeting was held in the State under
their auspices, that we ever heard Of.

Colonel Ingersoll in his address before
the New York Free Thinkers Association
attempted to define the Christian religion.
In the course Of his remarks he said
"More people imagine that belief is very
important; that If you do not believe in a
certain form OF religion, it is because you
want to steal something; that you like to
eat YOUR own child or commit some fear
ful crime. Yet it seems to me that relig-
ions belief never had much effect in max
ing people good. Some Of the worst peo-
ple who have cursed this world have been
believers. The gentlemen who made
Socrates drink the hemlock were believers.
The Jews who cruciAed Christ, believed in
God; the devil believes in God, and it
does not seem to have affected his moral
character. Some Of the worst founders OF
the inqulsition, the inventors of instru-
ments Of torture, burners and branders OF
human flesh, were all believers in God.
Some Of the best men do not believe in
God. Giordano Bruno was not a believer.
Charles Darwin was not believer, nor
was Humboldt. What Is the origin OF re-
ligion2 Fear; nothing else; fear born OF
ignorance"
Passing over the crimes Of an earnest
but misguided age, We ask OF 1ngersoll
what he would substitute for the Bible
abook whose truths he has twisted into
ridicule for the sake of the dollars OF
damnation his lectures have brought him.
Fear, religion2 So it is for some men,
else they would not be what they are.
Because some fear their Creatoritdoes not
follow that Ingersoll is right, but rather
proves that an inner consciousness moves
them to fear judgment Of wrong.doing
II they disobey what their conscience
dictates. Take away the fear Of God from
some men and you have your worst
criminals. Hold the wrath OF Jehovah
over them and you will find in them the
most deyout and consistent Christians.
II fear does this much how much greater
must be the power Of Love. Mr.. Inger-
soil may be moral man before the civil
law, and is gifted with oratorical powers,
but the converts he makes are those
whom the devil has already claimed.

A had Irony.

The Board Of County Commissioners
Numbered in permitting Squire Mcoahon
to resign, while grave charges, affecting
bis nersonal character and his conduct oil
his Office, were pending against him. The
eject Of this action on the public mind is
plainly shown by the remark Of man
Alter the Board adjourned: II think l
viii run for Constable or Justice, and go
into the blackmailing business. II get
found out, III resign" These words were
anoken in lest. A man OF no character
might speak them in earnest, Prosecu-
ting Attorney Jordan has frequently been
criticised for neslecting plain duties.
when with some trouble he makes good
case against an unworthy official, the
matter is allowed to drop with the volun'
tary resignation Of the accused.
The Board lost sight Of the fact that Il
the two officials against whom charges
were preferred we're guilty, they deserved
nuniahmsnt. The removal OF an officer ii
not his sole punishment; the disgrace o.
exposure, the publication Of the evidence
Of his betrayal OF his trust, are condlgn
additions to this penalty. The Commits
sioners were governed by consideration
for the culprit rather than by a high sense
Of duty to the public Officials recreant
to duty should be visited with exemplary
punishment, and not permitted to shiik
the Just consequences Of their misdeeds.
There is another reason that the resig
nations Of Justice McC shon and Constable
Grist should not have been accepted. In
situations were made that the prosecu
ton was actuated by unworthy motives
and that these men were not the only
guilty parties. These insinuaions shoule
not have been allowed to go uninvesti

has a right to know it. II unjustitied
