CO-EducatiOn.
IBaton Rouge Advocate

The November number of the
Louisiana Educator contains an
able article against the co-educa-
ton of the sexes from the pen of
Lieut.. E. S. Benton of the Louisi-
ana State University. The article
will repay careful perusal and the
arguments presented appear to be
unanswerable. Like the Lieuten-
ant the Advocate believes in the
higher education of women; it be-
lieves that the State should pro-
vide equal facilities for the educa-
ton of the two sexes; it stongly
advocates the founding of school
in connection with the State Uni
versity here for the education of
women; but it streniously opposes
bringing the two sexes together
during study hours or in the class
room. On this point Lieutenant
Benton presents the following mas
terful conclusions which the Advo-
cate heartily endorses:
"To the true man woman is sa-
cred and something apart from his
coarser nature. 1t has been urged
| that the circumstances of co-educa-
ton cause a man to become more
/ chivalrous in his dealings with
women; it is my firm belief that
the result is exactly the reverse of
this. In co-educational institu-
ton where the students are daily
thrown into close association some
thing of the sweet womanly inno-
cence is lost.
The girl who is daily rival with
a male student, defeats him in
Greek, disputes his reasoning and
perhaps surpasses him even in
mathematics, may be worthy of the
respect, but something of the deli
cate bloom of womanhood is lost
| in the enforced familiarity.
Many mothers, especially those
who study the highest welfare Of
their daughters, viii tell you that
if equal facilities for education
we're available in schools for girls
alone that they would much pre-
fer to send them there.
The true solution of co-educa
ton lies in this fact and efforts ar'
being made in the older States t.
provide these schools.

TIE law is that the various par
ishes must care for their own pau
pers, but Grant parish is some
what behind in providing for this
purpose. True, we have a pauper
fund, and several persons are paid
small annuity, but their care is
committed to as many different
parties, and, where there is no per-
son willing to take charge of the
unfortunates, no provision has
been made for them. There is a
case in point this instant, where a
poor old, decrepid and blind color
ed man needs to be provided for.
We trust the police jury at its
January meeting will establish
some permanent and humane ar
rangement on this subject.

The vote by parishes in the fourth dis
trict was as follows:
Over 100000 Plurality.

The figures given show a plurali-
ty of the popular vote for Grover
Cleveland of over 100000. This
total is quite certain to be increas-
ed by the full returns. A tidal
wave always grows as it advances.
The Democratic candidates will
have large majority of all votes
cast-the first time that this has
happened since 1876. Mr.. Cleve-
lands plurality of the popular vote
in 1884 was 62,6S3. In 1888 it
was 9S,O17. The increase this
year is remarkable. The Demo-
caratic plurality on Congressman
in 1890 was over 100000, Upon
State officers last year it was over
100000. In both these years there
was light vote. This year, upon
full vote, it reaches the imposing
total of over 100000.
Is it not time that the will OF
the people should be the law of the
land? The next President is a
Democrat--N. Y. World.

Social Visiting.
Editor Collar Chronicle:

Editor Collar Chronicle:
There are very few people in the
world that have not few drops OF
human kindness in their hearts,
and enjoy the kindly and social
visits Of their neighbors and
friends. They are, however, some
times guilty of injustice and un-
charity to their own family by urg-
ing and almost begging their neigh
bors and friends to come to see
them. "Come and take dinner
with u.s." "stay all night. etc"
Oftentimes great crowds will call
after church, or otherwise make a
practice of crowding at some par
ticular house at meal time or at
night, when the poor woman or
mother of the household is already
worn out with the weeks work,
and in justice to herself and chill
dren ought to be in bed. In some
rare cases whole families of seven
or eight in number will go and
spend the night with their nearest
neighbors merely for social visit,
may be on a cold and rainy night,
when the family have barely beds
enough, and not bed clothing
enough to keep them warm, and
the family is necessarily crowded
ont of their beds and must sleep
on the cold floor, with only a sheet
or thin quilt Who can tell how
many poor women and children
(no doubt numbering way up into
the thousands) have been FASTENED
to premature graves by such ex-
posture, caused by the untimely
friendly or social visiting of theil
neighbors.
The Bible says that he that pro.
videth not for his own house if
worse than an infidel. Can any
thing be worse? Yet are not those
kind but thoughtless neighbour
and social visitors worse? Fol
they are preventing the proper
provision for the family they i'm
pose their visits upon. Perhaps
the proprietor of the house is ole
and poor, and makes a very scan
living for his wife and children
and perhaps one-half or two-third
of that is eaten by the social visi
tors and friends. Oh, friends ant
social visitors; no one accuses yo1
of heartlessness and inhumanity
but how thoughtless and needles
you sometimes act! Beware of tn
suffering you infiict; and, oh, be
, ware of having to answer in tina
great day for the suffering, an
maybe death, of those you ma
cause from your imprudent socia
visiting. CHARITY.

readily perceive that there is such
a thing as imposing too much on

Social Struggles.

One of the most interesting
phases of American life is found
in the struggles for social suprem-
acy which are constantly taking
place in the ever changing condi-
tions of society in the larger cities.
Hialmar Hjorth Boyesen, who
spends his winters on Murray Hill
and his summers in one of the
most fashionable of the Long Is
land watering places, has written
a story for The Cosmopolitan deal
ing with those phases of Amerl-
can life which is likely to be re-
ceived with the widest interest.
The powerful strokes of the sturdy
nouveau richie have nowhere been
SO truly and wittily presented as in
the case of the Bulkeleys, whose
fortunes are begun in the Septem-
Der Cosmopolitan. Side by side
with the fortunes of those, who
have SO much money that the most
serious concern of life becomes the
question of how to spend, is dis
cussion of the fortunes of those
with whom TIE question is how to
provide the necessaries OF life.
This is done by Mr.. Walker, edi-
tor of the Cosmopolitan, who
chooses to view the Homestead
difficulties as an object lesson in
the Evolution of q Republican gov
eminent. He considers dispas-
sionatedly all the dangers to the
state arising from the extensive
colonies of workmen brought to-
gether under our present system
of concentration and the growing
imperfection in our system OF dis
tribution, and does not hesitate to
say that the reform should come
from the hands of those who fix
the laws regulating distribution.

ton bears re-telling by the veteran
