Several kilograms having been sent
from this city 10 the New Orleans pa

For the past two weeks the papers

in the construction and acquisition Of
railroads, among which is mentioned
the Houston, Central Arkansas and
Northern, which the Times. Democrats

ably and acceptably fills. Before bis

himself the reputation of being one of

"YIVIANS'' VIVID IMPRESSIONS OF
MONROE.

Miss Addie McGrath, known all
over Louisiana as the charming con-
tributor to the Baton Rouge Truth
under the nom de plume of Vivian,
paid Monroe days visit last week,
and this is the picture OF the metropolis
of the Oaachita Valley impressed upon
her mind by that short stay:

WHITE SUPREMACY.

Col. A. ID. Battle and Mr.. J0hn II.
Gilliland, editors of the Shreveport
Caucasian, in a prospectus giving the
reason for its being, gives expression
to the following true and lofty senti-
ments:
Some of the leading minds and best
thinkers OF the Snuth maintain that
colonization of the blacks is the only
practical solution Of the vexed negro
problem. Without here discussing the
merits or dement's of this question, we
will say that there may be one other
solution-the absolute aud total eliunin-
alton OF the negro from all interest in
or control Of the affairs Of government
national, Estate, parochial or muni-
cipal. This end may be accomplished
by a rigid enforcement of the rule of
primary elections, from the highest 10
the lowest Offices, at which none but
white men shall be allowed to vote.
Only little less intolerable than me-
gro dominance would be a division OF
the whites when the worst element OF
whom should rely upon the aid Of ne.
gro votes for success at the polls. This
U0cuuCo 10 COuSNuuNby OCAoto thsc
danger it was that aroused the armed
opposition of the best people Of Lafay-
cite. Ia this state, and Of Forrest City,
in Arkansas, and which is likely ia
provoke like results at any moment in
every town In the South.
The Telegraph, 1t is needless to
say, is in full accord with these senti>
ments. It has viewed with alarm the
tendency in the Democratic party to
divide on this question, with one fac.
ton striving to control affairs with the
assistance Of the negro vote, thereby
precipiiaiing conflicts within the party
aud engendering bitter feelings and
race troubles. This ia what the Dem
ocratic party fought most bitterly il
the Republican party, and ia it moi
negro domination just the same under
any name? We have endeavored il
season and out of season to convince
our party leaders that white pri1narie.
Is the only safe rule, aud we are glaC
to say that that policy is also ably ad
vocated by many other State papers
notably the Baton Rouge Advocate.
The Caucasian has mapped out a work
in which 1t can accomplish great good
aud the Telegraph will second its
endeavcrs to the best of lis ability
God speed the Caucasian.

School Discipline.

It Is probable that the question of
school discipline will be vexed one
long after those who are now seeking
a solution of it have left this lower
Stage of existence. Bat some of us
who are at work in the schools have
an ideal, aud perhaps it is our ideal
that will become a reality in the pros
gress. of future years. While we do
not expect the schools to annul the
laws OF heredity nor TO entirely over
come the Influence Of early environ
ment, siili when the ideal school sys.
tenn and the ideal teacher become a
living reality, it will help much in
approximattng toward that perfection
in child OF which we now catch
glimpses in our day dreams.
When children at an early age shall
be placed under the guidance of pu-
tient, conscientious and skiIiIul teach
ers aud shall remain under such guild
ance 10 successive years, then we may
expect that the unpleasautness arising
from what is now termed the discip-
line Of the school will, to great ex-
tent, be done away witt. One poor
teacher will incuicate more evils than
half dozen good ones eau undo. Few
teachers real s that many faults and
even vices of their pupils are The RE-
suit of some imperfections in their
own character, or that OF their pre-
decessors.
But while we must first wait for a
higher civilization 10 produce the III ost
desirable results, we can, in our day
and generation, abolish traces of the
dark ages in modes of discipline.
Doubtless the time Is not far distant
when the schools will do away entirely
with corporal punishment. II we have
not yet arrived at a period when COM
plete abolition of this kind OF punish
ment seems feasible, we ought TO have
evolved, sufficient delicacy and refine
ment to avoid making such punish
ment public. 1t is An absolute fact
that In many of the larger public
schools of the present day corporal
punishment is inflicted IN the presence
of other pupils. Among those pupils
may be delicate and nervous children,
who suffer torture in witnessing such a
scene. In many cases pupil rebels
and undertakes to defend himself, and
then follows n scene which would dis
grace a we'll ordered liquor saloon.
Is not this demoraiizing in its ten
dency: Is it not absolutely Injurious,
both physically and morally, to those
who are obliged to see and heat? How
many parents would like to have a
delicate and sensitive girl witness such
scene? What ill-disposcd boy would
not he made worse by il: II, for a
time longer, the whippipg-post must
continue to be one of the factors in
school discipline, let it be hidden from
the public gaze of tho schooI.-,South-

OUR REPORTER TAKES AN OUTING.
Your correspondent traverssd che

notes with pleasure the excellent CON

far advanced for the tune OF year.
Rain Ia sufficient abundance has fallen
for the present.
Our first night out from home was
speIt with that excellent gentleman,
Mr.. Green Dunn, who treated us right
royaly, aud who, by the way, has
fine crop, such as nc might well be
proud of. On our second day out We
dined with Mr.. r. NJ. Faust, most
clever gentleman, who knows exactly
how TO treat a newspaper man. Me-.
Fansl's crop is just simply excellent.
We spent our second night with that
big-bearted gentleman, (Ouachita's
hero of 1870, Capt. II. w. Mcleod.
He is comfortably situated and doing a
fiourishing business at the new town of
Blankston. Mrs. Benefits business at
Eureka is now managed by her broth
er, Mr.. w. u. McLain (Peter, for
shorty, assisted by Mr.. A. J. Gore,
who, by the way, Is said to be the
finest farmer in Caldwell parish. We
had the pleasure Of meeting at Blank
ston that prince of gentlemen, Mr.. r.
b. Blanks.
During our trip we also had the
pleasure of meeting and forming the
acquaintance Of DIR. l.. w. Gregory, of
Cuba, who is a gentleman and physi-
clan OF sterling worth. At Cuba, on
our return to the metropolis, 1t was our
good fortune to remain over night and
partake Of the princeIy hospitality OF
that estimahle gentleman, Capt. F. HI.

and has u splendid crop.
In our estimation, Mr.. Robert

sorry to note the tsiiing health Of Hon.
David Faulk, one of Ouachita's most
prominent and best citizens.
Money having been raised for the
purpose, the good people Of Logtown
propose building a new church. The
matter has been placed in the hands
of Capt. +. Fl. Cam, who has con.
tracted with Mr.. j. w. Wright, Of
Monroe, for the building. Capt. Cam
says that it will be credit to Log

hood.
We also called on our estimabte
friends, Capt. A. Myatt and his sou
