IF you don't like the sub-treasury
bill give us something better" This
is what we now hear and read. Do
those who thus state their case, or
demands, ever expect to get anything
better from the Republican party p
Do they expect to get anything at all
from the Republican party except the
continuance in force of the laws which
have depressed labor by Withholding
its just rights and denying its just
demands? Do the people expect that
the Republican party will repeal the
high tariff laws, declare in favor of
the free coinage of silver, or enact
any legislation directly or indirectly
on line with the objects and aims of
the Alliance ? Don everybody know
that the Republican party (the un-
compromising enemy of the South)
has always, and does now, oppose
every political and economic princi-
pie the Alliance would make a part
of the legislation of the country p
Where then is something better to
come from? Not by the organization
of third party, which will injure the
Democratic party and help the Re-
publican party. 1t will come from
the Democratic party as soon as it
can get control of the Government
And if the people really want reform,
if they prefer reform to the elevation
Of a few third party demagogues to
office, let them continue to rally
around the Democratic standard, and
when victory is achieved the remedial
reforms needed will quickly follow.

There are several other schools
that I did not visit for lack of time.
1 am glad to report an increased
interest in education, both on the
part of patrons and teachers.
AS there are but few schools in
session now, I have suspended the
Teachers Institutes till school opens
in the spring.
I would again impress upon the
patrons of the various schools the
Importance of good school houses
and comfortable seats, desks, &c. I
hope to find better houses next year,
and an increased interest in educa-
ton.

sUPERINTENDENT's REPORT.
To Hon. School Board Of BOssier
PGrish-GENTLEMEN: beg leave to
submit this, my second quarterly re-
port, beginning July 1st and ending
Oct. l, 1891.
The schools located by the Board
at its last session have been taught,
save two or three, which are now in
session.
Since my last report I have visited
the following schools, and spent from
two to three hours with each, to-wit:
The Vaughan and Belcher school,
Miss Berta Meares, teacher. I found
an enrolment of Is pupils, with a
daily average of about IL. The school
house was small and poorly furnished.
The patrons promised to have bet
ter building another year.
I then visited the Keith School,
Mr.. L. S. Swor teacher. The school
house was also very small and poorly
furnished. The enrolment showed
q pupils, with daily average at
tendance of II or Is.
l next visited the Many school
Here I found the people awake to the
comfort of their children. They had
just built nice school house and
were fitting it up with benches,
blackboards, &c. I must especially
commend the patrons of said school
for the interest they are taking
Miss Florence Tooke, their teacher,
seemed to be giving satisfaction
The roll showed IA, with a daily at
tendance of II.
I visited the Ansel school, Mrs.
Baird teacher. I found much larger
school than reported. The roll show
ed 81, with daily attendance of
about %. The school house is too
small and not comfortably fitted up.
1 next visited Centre school, j. M.
