Being strongly in favor of the rule Of
the intelligent, we insist that no repre-
sanitation based on the negro vote be al
lowed in any ward, parish, city or State
convention. Parishes with but few white
votes and boxes filed with 'stuffed" negro
ballots are now controlling the mass OF
white men, ruling them with negro votes,
and that should be first stopped.-Demo-
cratic Review.
All, there, Bro. Cosgrove; now
you are talkingl We were fiatten-
ed into pancake for advocating
such heretical ideas during the last
campaign. but we will ''stand to
your back until your belly is beat
blue" if you will only tackle Rap
ides, Tensas, and some of the other
parishes that had the brazen ct.
frontery to play this game in the
last nominating conventions. 1t il
an outrage of common decsncy to-
such practices to be tolerated In tn
name of Democracy, and for ont
we will join you in a kick over tn

Several of the parishes OF tho
State have BEEN getting largely In
excess of the amount of the school
fund they were entitled to by false
and excessive enumeration Of their
children, while the insuf6ciency OF
the enumeration in some parishes
has lost them their just pro rata OF
the public money. The education
al convention which met In New
Orleans last month, recognized the
existence of this evil and adopted
the subjoined strong resolution on
the subject. The assessor OF Grant
parish has just completed his rolls
for the current year, and We trust
this matter has received the atten
ton its importance merits:
Resolved, That as funds for publi'
school purposes are based upon the emu
meration Of the educable youths OF tn
marshes by the assessors, it is importan
to q lust distribution of the public schoo
fund from the State; and we therefor
urge upon the parish superintendents Q
the different parishes to insist upon tn
faithful discharge of the official duty
the assessor in this regard. and that b
be required to make house to-hous
enumeration of the youths IN his parlsr
that IL he should fail or refuse TO "a,
charge this duty, to recommend that %
pay for listing poll taxpayers Dc re1uee
him until he complies fully with all d
official duties.

The parish Of Avoyelles Is sgitated
from center to circumference over an
order Of Judge A. v. Coco requiring the
court house to be repaired, for which the
sheriff brings in bill for the small mat
ter of $1,000 or $500. A meeting Of citi-
sens decided to enioin payment OF the
bill, but Judge Coco declined to allow
the injunction, and upon the matter being
referred to Judge Blackman, he also no
fused to grant the injunction. This has
stirred up . regular hornet's nest, and .
mass meeting was called wherein resolu-
tons were passed that the action Of
Judge Coco was Illegal and that the
