AZ VI. = W AhI
The Republican State Convention, which
has for W days past been in session IN THIS
| city, has completed its work, 1t has con
| structed a platform, which contains an antl-
lottery plank. This is indeed q signihcan1
fact.
This anti-lottery declaration was not made
by the Warmoth wing of the party, winch
has heretofore announced its opposition to
that Institution, but by the negro wing, OF
which it has heretofore been given out 10
common report, that it was already sold TO
the lottery. Now that the negroes have
adopted an anti-lottery declaration, 1t Is, as
| we have heretofore remarkedr,a most slgnln'
cant circumstance. 1t annGdnces that the
negro Republicans and the Fosterites are
standing together on the lottery question:
1t will not do for the white people of Lou
isiana to shut their eyes to the possibility
of IA negro victory in the State in the present
| divided condition of the whites, if the ne
groes can get their votes counted. But the
negroes have learned from past experience
that they can gain more by making them
selves felt as q balance of power than by
making a supreme effort for domination
They prefer to form a combination with some
faction of the whites and they have evidently
declared for tho Fosterites.
/ But this is no question of principle with the
negro Republicans. Principle has no part III
their political manipulations. They are
shrewd enough to see where their advantage
lies and they are WORKING Tor III. Ii mohoY
were the object they would doubtless nave
gone to the lottery but they want f%oiitica,
plumber. If thu Farmers Alliance could
make a dicker with the Fosterites, why mol
the negroes, they reason. doubtless, and II We
are to judge from their platform, so they nave
acted. So many prominent members OF the
Foster faction have declared that they would
prefer Republican rule in Louisiana t" tht
adoption of the lottery proposition, that thf
negroes are obviously encouraged TO seen
union with that faction, and so they have
done, if we ara to judge from their opei
expression.
But the object of the Fosterite boilers from
the Democratic con vention is to beat Me
Emery first and the lottery afterwards. II
they have secured a combine with the Repub
liean negroes, as we'll as with the Ocafa plat
form Farmers Alliance, it is TO beat the regu
lar Democracy. Ii so and that is the ontlooR
of the situation at this moment, the party o
white supremacy finds itself confronted by I.
combination of office seeking whites and un
prineipled negroes to overthrow what ha'
been for so many years the chief butwark n
social order and safety in Louisiana. rms Il
a Formidable prospect, deeply laid and Grim
inal, and we'll may the white people OF LenIsf
ana view it with anxiety and alarm. Any
movement which tends to replace IN the
hands of negroes the political power which
they have heretofore used so much to the cos
and damage of the State should arouse the en-
tire white population to a united resistance.

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF scHo1ARs

A commendable feature of the public
school discipline is the system of grade
meetings held at the Office of Superintend-
ent Brintnall atregular intervals. Last night
the teachers of the third and fourth prim-
ary grades met and discussed the following
questions relating to language work:
What amount of oral language work
should be used in these grades2
What exercise do you use in this work
What is the object of oral language
work2 OF written work ?
To what extent do your pupils habitual-
ly employ incorrect expressions What
devices do you employ to correct such ex-
pressiOns
How far have you carried the "observa-
tion work" this yearP Do you make use
of it in teaching language
Teachers of the first and second grades
will meet at 30 this afternoon to consider
the following questions relating to the
same study:
What is the character of the language
used by children in your grader
To what extent do the vocabularies OF
beginners vary cause.
To what extent do your pupils-particu-
larly beglnners-use incorrect expressions
in their speech
What devices do you employ to correct
language of pupils With what degree OF
success
How far have you carried the "observa-
tiOn lessOns"2
How can they be made useful in develop,
ing language?
This system of discipline for teachers is
OF the utmost interest to parents, as il
shows how carefully the needs of the
scholars are studied, and it also shows the
methods now in use for imparting instruc-
tiOn and information.

Judge J. w. Robinson received congrat-
ulations from all sides this morning upon

At an early hour congratulatory tele-
grams from all parts of the state were
handed the successful candid ate
A prominent democrat moved that the
election of Judge Robinson be made unan-
imous, and it seemed to be the tacit under
standing that it should be unanimous.
People of all shades of political faith were
anxious to grasp his hand and express sat
isfaction over his success. There was a
constant stream of callers at his Office all
day. Whenever Mr.. Robinson appeared
on the street he was invariably greeted
with friendly salutes and a shower Of good
wishes. 1t was victory for the people in
which the people reJOiced withoutany show
ofrestraint. Mr.. Robinson wears his victory
with a dignity that in no wise detracts
from his geniality or personal popularity.
He has naught but the kindest of feelings
for his late opponents. People of all class
