t'The SHOW That Didn't Show"
Monroewas visited Saturday by erich
ards Great Southern Circus and Monster
Menagerie Of Trained Animals, )" but It did
not exhibit here. The license was too high.
We think tho circus people made mistake
In not giving . performance, but We con-
gratulate our people upon the mistake.
There had been no amusemeuts of any kind
here worth mentioning dnrinR the season,
and tho "Greatcst Show on Earth" would
have certainly taken away MANY dollars in
excess Of tho license. As 1t was there were
many people here, especially tho colored
population, vino had their change leady
for the ticket agent. who spent It with our
merchants. The show could easily have
avoided tbs city license by exhibiting in
West Monroe, and still have drawn large
crowd from Monroe.
The "foatipg palace" and bsrges bearing
the show and menagorie, departed Sunday

IT COMES with nice grace from papers
that could find no epithet too vile 10 ap.
ply to the Democratic party before the
election to charge the HERALD with un-
fairness in the treatment of the Republi-
can candidate for Mayor. Since
when has it been the vogue
to claim that candidates for office
shall not have their public record
reviewed? This is all we have done in
the case of the gentleman who was de-
feated. 1t is not our fault if it turned
votes away from him. We can well un-
derstand that it is very hard to meet
with defeat after exhibiting so much
contempt for the party that has won.
But, friends, you should not for
get the proverb, that pride goes
before fall. and that the race is not
always to the swift nor the battle to the
strong. You committed the error that
has often before ended in defeat you I'M
dervalued the enemy and were troubled

Proceedings at the Meeting of the
Board Last Night.

Board Last Night.
The Board of Education met last
evening in the Council chamber, with
President J. S. Crawford in the chair
and the following members present: E.
P. Johnson, G. E. Day, N. S. Embody,
T. Kelly, A. E. Baker and Mrs. A. S.
AverilI.
Mr.. johnson moved that the Secre-
tary transfer the bills for the grading of
Griffin avenue, etc, with the legal opin.
ion, to the Council. Carried
A communication was received from
Mr.. Clark, of the Harden Grenade Com
pany, proposing to furnish the schools
with fire extinguishers. Also, a commu-
nication from Merrill & Cook in refer
ence to ink wells for the schools. Both
of these were referred to the Committee
on Supplies, with permission to act.
Mr.. w. S. Arnold, an attorney, then
brought before the Board grave charge
against Mrs. A. s.. Averill, who was
present at the meeting. He stated that
she had used her official position as
Deputy Superintendent of Schools to col
lect bad debts for real estate agents, and
as proof of the statement he presented
a letter from Mrs. Averill to a lady teacher
of the schools Of this city, in which Mrs.
Averill told the lady to appear before the
Board to have charge of Indebtedness,
brought against her by A. S. Robins, No.
8 North Main street, investigated. Mrs.
Averill, he said, in this letter, stated
that she wrote it by order of the Board of
Education. The teacher, upon receiving
the letter, gave it to Mr.. Arnold, who
called upon Mr.. Robins to get at the
facts. Mr.. Robins claimed that he had
lent the teacher $120 at different times
when she was in Strengthened circum-
stances, but he had no note to show in
proof of this statement, and hence ad-
mitted that he could not legally collect
the debt, if debt there was. 1t was for
the non.payment of this debt that the
lady was ordered to appear before
the Board. and Mr.. Ar
mold thinking this rather strange
hunted up several members of the Board,
and found that they knew nothing of the
matter, and it was his opinion that Mrs.
Averill had acted without their knowl-
edge or consent. Mrs. Averill admitted
the writing of the letter, but withheld
her explanation.
Mr.. johnson moved that the matter be
referred to committee of the Board as a
whole in executive session to-day. Car
ried.
MIR. Baker reported the total number
OF children in the city schools as 6,29l,
and the per centage of attendance dur.
ing the past month as "a.
An application for a position as janitor
was referred to the Janitors' Committee.
A communication was received with
regard to using the Scott Tract school
building for church service.

instituted in all school buildings of more
than one room. Carried.

Four years ago the most sanguine oi
Angelefios used to prophecy that Los
Angeles would continue to grow until the
city would number $1,000 souls. This
view the doubling Thomases in the COM
munity laughed at as a wild flight of
overheated imaginations, never to be
realized. To-day we stand-in four short
years-and look down upon this as fact
accomplished and surpassed. Where
shall we set our mark now? At double
the former figures, and say we shall
grow until the city contains 10000
people? The unbelievers will find this
as difficult to receive as they did the
earlier prophecy. But Just as the 75,-
900 mark was too low by half, SO is the

Associated Press Dispatches TO the HRkAIp
WASHINGTON, December Am the
Senate to-day various annual reports. in
cluding that of the Secretary of the
Treasury, we're presented and approri-
ately referred.
Numerous bills were introduced and
referred, including one for the cons:ruc-
ton of two steel cruisers to be armed
with heavy rifle dynamite guns.
Frye, at IL 80, moved to proceed to
consideration of the Union Pacific settle.
ment bill.
Mitchell opposed the motion on the
ground that he had no time to examine
the report. 1t was a matter that should
be looked into.
Teller also favored postponement as he
had no opportunity to investigate the
subject.
Frye said the matter was very
familiar one to the Senate. The Select
early last session to consider it devoted
much time to the investigation. The
committee found that the two Pacific
railroad companies, the Union and
Central, could not be connected on &C.
count of the difference in their conditions
and capacity. Therefore the committee
unanimously reported bill touching the
Union Pacific only. The report haG
been made in writing and had beer
printed as long ago as July. The bill
he thought, could be disposed of in foul
or five morning hours.
Plumb said there was no particula,
reason for haste, as the debt would no
mature for nine years. In the presen
temper of the public mind. and il
view of some promises rather re
Gently made, there was some obliga
tion resting on the Senate to discharg.
public business before it took up aby
matter of private concern. In his judg
ment the bill would require good dea
| of debate. Without saying what nigh
eventually become of the bill, he though
| it would be found one of rather more
importance than the Senator from Maine
seemed to think. He therefore moveC
that if there would he any spare time
between then and o'clock, the Senate
utilize it by taking up the Tariff bill a
once.
On motion OF Allison the Senate sub
stitute Tariff bill was then taken up fol
consideration.
Vance said the Democratic Senators
who had amendments to offer to the
tobacco section (the first in the substi
tute) were not prepared to offer them
to-day, but would to morrow; therefore
he asked its postponement until o'clocl
to- morrow. Agreed to and adjourned.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Time Spent In ftlibustering over
Trivial Natters.


The Speaker laid before the Il ouse the
annual reports of the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, which were appropriately re-
ferred.
Leave was granted the Committee on
Appropriations to sit during the sessions
of the House.
A resolution for investigation into the
purchases of real estate by the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia was
referred to committee.
Macdonald. of Minnesota, presented a
petition of citizens of North Dakota for
the immediate admission into the Union
of South Dakota and Montana, and for
Constitutional Conventions in North Da-
kota, Washington and New Mexico. Re-
ferred to the Committee on Territories.
At the close Of the last session Ding
ley succeeded in having made special
order for to-day the bill for the erection OF
Il monument to Major General Harry
Knox, at Thomastown, Maine, but sub
|sequently Kilgore entered a motion to
reconsider the vote by which the order
was made. After some filibustering
to-day the House proceeded to the con-
sideration of the bill and Dingley briefly
sketched the public services OF General
Knox.
Kilgore agreed with anything that
could be said in praise of General Knox,
but he did not think General Knox g
reputation was superior to the Constitu.
ton of the United States. In his opinion
Congress exceeded its authority in using
the money wrung from the people by
fovipu n arant IN Mo;po ~
Texas or Colorado.
Breckinridge (Kentucky) said there
were upon the calendar two bills for the
erection of monuments throughout the
country, the appropriations contained
therein aggregating S275, 900. 1t seemed
to him that the Government was going
into the monument business rather at
wholesale.
McMillin, while expressing his rever-
cnce for the memory OF the Revolution
ary heroes, entered his protest against
the General Government going into the
States for the purpose of erecting monu-
ments.
Spinola New York;. while opposed to
extravagant public expenditures, felt it
his duty to support the measure, which
would transmit to coming generations
the memory of those men who under
went hardship and suffering in order
that the Republic might be created.
On demand for the previous question
the votes stood yeas Ill, nays 46. No
quoI um.
The call of the House was ordered and
205 members responded to their names.
The question recurring on the demand
for the previous question, again no
quorum voted. The opponents of the
measure then resorted to dilatory tactics
to compass it's defeat. Several Intellectual
roll-calls we're then called, and finally
Dingley Yielded to Mansur to offer an
amendment locating the monument in
Washington.
The previous question was ordered Oh
the amendment and the third reading of
the bill. On Mansur's amendment the
vote stood, yeas 66, nays 92. No quorum
and more calls followed. This pro-
ceedure continued until S O'Clock, when,
under the order adopted last session, the
House adjourned.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
Frahcklyn Must Make an Account.
Ing With Cunard.

New York, December 4.-The Court
OF Appeals to-day dismissed the appeal
of Chas. G. Francklyn from the decision
OF the general term of the Supreme Court,
requiring him to make an accounting to
Sir Bache Cunard, in transactions involv-
ing about So 100000. Francklyn it will
be remembered was President of the
Horn Silver Company and handled the
money of Sir Bache Cunard who was in
terested in the company. He was ar
rested in October, 1887, on a charge of
wrongful conversion to his own use of
cash and securities belonging to COM
plainant. The history of the case since
that time is well known.
