In speaking of the appointment of
Harry Bloch as postmaster of Opelousas,
after quoting Judge Lewis letter, the
New Orleans Republican says:
& With such letters as this before
him, President Harrison certainly felt
that he was pleasing not only the Re-
publieans of 0pelousas, but the most
representative white people of that
place BY selecting the man they en-
dorsed.p
The views expressed by the Republi-
can coincide to certain extent with
the statement of Judge Lewis in his
attack on the Democrat in last Satur-
days Clarion, in the course of which he
saye: 8 AS to the humiliation of our
community resulting from this appoint
ment, have neither seen nor heard,
anything of it except In the pages of
this slanderous sheet. .
Could it be possible that the Judge
had not yet heard of the action taken
BY the Parish Farmers Uaion at their
meeting in Bellevue Il few days after
the news of this appointment reached
here, and more than a week before his
attack upon the Democrat was pub
lishedf IF the Judge did not hear of
the action of the Farmers Union, nor
see, nor hear anything iil our commun-
ity suggestive of disapproval of the
appointment, both among Democrats
and white Republicans, it shows a
lamentable lack of information on the
subject on his part.

If no arrangement is made with Mr.. Morris
to get the $350,000 for public education, then 1t
will be an obligation on the next Legislature
to provide in some way for large increase of
the school fund way must be provided
for the education Of every child in Louisiana.
Good teachers cannot be secured for pitiful
salary, and the school sessions must be ex-
tended at least to nine months. Our children
are soon to be the men aud women of to-
morrow they must be prepared to take our
places.
The duty then rests upon the State Legis-
lature to provide the way to qualify the chill.
dren for the high destiny that awaits them.
Without this is done, those who are SO soon
to take cur places, can neither make wise
laws or administer the law properly. From
what source additional revenues are to come,
is the great question of the day; but they
must come from somewhere, or the day is not
distant when We will be laggards in the race
for knowledge-far, very far. behind our sis
ter states.--Pointe Coupee Democrat. -
