HARMONY PROBABLE.

1t is probable that the dual Demo
cratic executive committees OF this
parish will harmonic and that sat
isfactory adjustment OF their differ
ences will be agreed upon. A meet
ing of the advisory committees of five
from each ward was held Thursday
and yesterday, and plan adopted by
them which will be submitted to-day
to the committee of the whole of both
factions for ratification. The terms
of agreement should be satisfactory
to all who are opposed to fraternal
strife, and are anxious 10 put an end
10 the bitter struggles in this parish,
which have resulted so disadvantage
ously to the Democratic party.
The PRoGREss is fully aware OF the
fact that there are men belonging to
both factions, vino, for selfish reasons,
are opposed to an amalgamation and
harmonization of the two committees
but it is we'll known that these op,
posers have in view their own inter
e,ts, which will be benefited very
materially by keeping the factions as
widely separated as possible. But
the people know these agitators we'll
and are keeping wary eye upon
them. They know that these separs
tors make capital of the honest differ
ences of the people, and that they
will for personal interest, keep the
factions apart for personal gain
Both factions know this, and they
likewise know that these strife aglta
tors have no patience with the at
tempt to harmonic, for settlement
of their differences means loss oil
situation by those vuttures who prey
on the results Of battle.
Caddo has had enough OF agitation
and fraternal warfare and her man
hood demands Reputation OF tina
element in our politics which is con
tinually striving to bring about bittel
factional differences.
Peace and harmony is the watch
word now and the people should cas-
out all who are opposed to this senti
ment.

COuucll III reference TO the eX-
penditure OF those $1,000 to open
Market street. The PROGRESS would
like to know if the council will per-
sist in spending $1,000 of Shreve-
ports money in manner SO unnec-
essary? Thai it was an appropria-
ton by the predecessors of the pres
ent body Is no excuse, if it remains
In the power of those now in author
ity to right the wrong, and an able
lawyer assures us that it does. 1t
does seem egregirOus injustice, an IN
pardonable wrong for this money to
be spent in way which for public
use Is like casting it in tho bayou,
when it would be productive of so
much good il devoted to the use of
building public school house. If
asked to vote on the subject the citi-
zens would, We feel assured, almost
unanimously cast their ballots in
favor of appropriating this money for
the purpose of building suitable pub
lie school houses. This sentiment of
the people must be we'll known to
the council, and knowing it, they
must realize that it requires the prac
tice of considerable amount of char
ity on the part of the people to pre-
vent their indulging in very uncom-
plimentary thoughts regarding the
motive practiced by the town author
tiles in this matter.
Several members of the council
have assured The PROGRESS that it
was in error in its conclusion that
they were hostile to the public
schools. This we would be more
than glad to believe, and knowing
the gentlemen as we do, are willing
to do so, but the people are not so
credulous and Judge officials by their
acts and not their declarations, and
weighed in these balances, the city
fathers will be forced to admit that
they have done nothing to in
spire confidence in this direction,
but to she contrary, have only
aroused doubts and fears.
"Public Office is public trust" said
one of our m ,st stable statesmen of the
present age, and he who would wear
the robes thereof imbued with any
other idea must soon fall under the
commentator of all honorable, hon
est people. The intoxicating In
Auence of politics may for a season
hold one up who uses his office for
factional advantage, but it is an un-
safe prop and will, like the levees at
flood tide, give way at time when
the greatest damage will result there
from. This is merely thrown out to
the present council, some of whom are
personal friends of the writer, because
viewed in the light of events as they
appear, the present council has shown
itself but partisan body, seeking to
gain political, factional advantage,
the prime aim to be the rewarding OF
friends, the punishment of foes, to
secure which end everything else
even the public school interest IN
cluded, must be cast aside.
This is a disagreeable statement
but is, we think, a true one, and ii
the gentlemen composing that body
will disrobe from their political gar
ments they will as quickly as anyone
Justify the impression which has
gone forth from the city hall walls.
Now gentlemen, you can not fan
to see that yon have impeded the
