Ii the Lottery Company is the demon
alizing Institution and SO dangerous to
the State as it is represented, is it not
strange that many of the Ants have
been personally benefited by its money?
How many OF these sanity Senators
and Representatives have used the Lot
teIy money politically? How was the
large amount OF money given to the
Nichols Campaign Committee used
This is a pertinent question, and may
well be asked. Again, go TO the City of
New Orleans, aud ask II the Lottery
gratuitles are OF Il political nature. Ask
it its friends wait for elections to make
requests. The answer is No. There
is large stone building that will sur
vive for centuries; 1t Is library for
the people, the masses, the multitude
for the rich and the poor. 1t is to dis
seminate knowledge among men it is
to enligLten men forever.
Enlighten the voter, and he will dis
charge his duty at the ballot-box intel
ligentiy. Make every voter familiar
with books, and you cannot deceive
him. Increase the libraries, let tie
voters draw knowledge from them, and
our free institutions will be perpet-
uatci.
Look abroad, among all those sanity
Ants call the roll, and see if one of
them has founded library or an insti-
tuition OF any kind, calculated to en-
tighten the voters who are to decide
this Lottery question. None OF them
have used their money for any such
patriotic purpose. But they have given
money to establish newspapers to boil
ster up their own political fortunes and
to prevent the people from being bene-
flied by having all their material inter
ests provided for, and at the same time
taxation reduced.
1t is patent that this Lottery warfare
is carried on simply for personal and
political reasons. Vindictive warfare
is the watchword, and the saints must
be saved, even at the destruction and
neglect of every great State interest.
Rule or ruin is the determination of the
Ants; they must be kept in power if
the ship sinks.-Pointe Coupee Demo-
crat.

The New Orleans States says that
the city council has offered Lafayette
square as the site for the burial of
Jefferson Davis and monument to his
memory, and asks that efforts be made
to secure the consent of Mrs. Davis to
the suggestion. The States says: CAS-
it was eminently proper that New York,
the great city of the North, should be
chosen as the place Of burial of Gen.
Grant, SO should New Orleans, the Iarg-
est city of the South, be selected as the
location Of the monument and tomb of
jefferson Davis. Other Southern cities
and especially Richmond, are DESTROYS
Of the honor, consequently it would be
we'll for New Orleans to urge its claims
upon Mrs. Davis, who we have reason
to believe, is disposed to decide in our

Attend KOWr lodge Meetings.

The Morgan City Review very aptly says:
great many people join fraternal organiza-
lions because they think it may be =" good
thing" ana that they fix their positions more
solidly among their fellow citizens. Many
think so and no doubt they are correct, for the
ties that bind them to their brethren cause a
kindlier and more fellow feeling to pervade the
hearts and minds of ALL
Once members, however, they pay their dues
promptly, consider their duty thus ended and
are seldom ever after seen in the meeting
house. This is wrong 1t is absolutely nee
ccsSary for the members to attend meetings
and keep up the interest in their lodge and
thus fulfil the intentions of the Order, which
was surely not organized with view of look
ing after one mans interest only. A lack of
tuition. and is a rank injustice to the staunch
few, whose familiar faces are seen at every
meeting,

For want Of money" says the
Pointe Coupee Democrat, 1.-THE public
schools in our State open and close
their doors inside of four months, while
all Of our sister States, and even in
Guiding the youngest States in our far
West, have educational systems rival
ing in all respects those of the Middle
and Eastern States. A mere sentiment
stands in the way Of the constitutional
amendment, which, if accepted, would
give every child in Louisiana advant-
ages that would in few years place
them on an equality with those they
mnst come in competition with all their
lives. Let us have universal education
and not let this sickly sentiment of the
ants keep our children in ignorance"

The Newspaper Reporter.

In lecture before the New York
Press club, Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew
paid the following tribute to the news
paper reporter:
The reporter meets us at all hours OF
the day and night. He rings US up be-
fore breakfast and accompanies some of
Us to bed. Sometimes he breaks up our
sleep, and yet we must recognize him
as a most useful member of the cOmmu-
nifty. He spreads the panorama of life
before lis in cur daily paper, gives us
the substance of tie great discuss
ions Of the day, and makes us feel the
thrill OF life and the emotion running
through the body polite.
With tie instinct OF detective he
unlavc!s crime, explores mysteries and
brings the full life Of the community
before us. lie gives pointers to the po-
lice and lis vigilance causes public Off
cials to maintain a higher tone, because
they know their acts will be written for
all the world to read.
Thirty years ago the reporter had no
recognized standing. Now he steps i'll
to the study Of the scholar, the lahora-
tory Of the scientist, the office OF the
lawyer, the sanctum Of the judge, and
the cabinet Of the statesman, and dis
cuSses with them their SppciaIitics as
ably as they could themselves.
The political aud financial reporters
know mnle about politics and questions
Of t,adc and currency than the greatest
editors Knew generation ago. With
! the rising standard of the age, and the
! fierce competition Of journalism, the
modern reporter has placed himself up
! on high plane Of action, where bright
/ intellect and full equipment makes him
| Il power in tie land.

practical and successful advertiser has
said :" Keep your eye on the newspaper, and
sec which OF the merchants wants your custom
and are sufficiently courteous to invite YOU to
call. There Is much more in advertising than
you may think. 1t is not only to tell of his
goods that man advertises, but it is to in
intelligent-to pay him visit, and judge for
themselves as to the quality and price of what
he offers for SALE People read the advertise
They are just as much Interested in knowing
where to buy to an advantage as the adver-
tiser is i'll selling his goods.
