Let the different road oyerseers
acquaint themselves with all the
requirements of the present road
law; let them enforce it without
fear or favor; that every man works,
and no man shirks his duty: let the
Police Jury appoint a General Road
Inspector, whose duty it shall be to
examine all work done by the differ.
ent overseers and their men; and
when any overseer has failed to do
what was expected of him, or proven
incompetent, then let said Inspector
report the fact to the Police Jury,
who should remove that overseer,
and appoint another, and further
more, what would prove a material
help in making plain the duties of
all citizens, and rights of overseers,
could come from our District Judge
in his charge to the grand jury. Let
him instruct that body, not TO pass
over too lightly any charge that
might be brought by the people
against road overscers. The duty
Of the District Attorney is plain.
Such action would be appreciated
by all conscientious workers and
taxpayers.
In a word our present law is suf-
fcient and the best; if it were only
enforced. 1t is the cheapest plan
for the taxpayers, and reaches every
one, white and black, and the only
one that will ever reach the latter.
Let every one from the top Of the
ladder down, do what is expected Of
him, each in their respective posi-
ton, and the present law, will prove
satisfactory to all concerned.

Owing to the Iawless condition Of
affairs existing in Bienyille parish,
the citizens residing in Arcadia and
vicinity met recently and denounced
the oatrages that are being perpet-
rated on the negroes, and pledged
themselves to use every legitimate
means to put a stop to them. With
this end in view, all good negroes
were called on to use their best en-,
deavors to encourage the younger
element to give no occasion for such
and to live strictly within the law.

Ftllo,c- Democrats:
We ask that you will not believe the un-
truth that Is being told about the friends
of Mr.. Cleveland. We are being repre-
sented as being for Mr.. Cleveland without
regard TO the success of the Democratic
party. We have never changed our posi-
ton. AS the following will show. In the
first address OF the Cleveland Club, issued
March 2bth, we announced as follows:
The object OF the club is to bring To-
gether for the purpose OF united work
those Democrats whose first choice for
President is Grover Cleveland. but VINO
are opposed TO the Virginia delegation TO
Chicago being pledged or instructed IN
favor Of any candidate"
At meeting Of the club held May 9th
we adopted the following resolution
" BE Il res0ired, That while our first choice
for President IS Grover Cleveland. yet the
delegates nominated by this club are here
by instructed that it is the positive wish
of this club that they will vote In the
State convention against instructing or
pledging the delegates TO Chicago m
favor of any candidate, but that they Will
vote for delegates who will exercise their
best Judgment under the circumstances
then and there surrounding themln select
ing a presidential candidate"
We have also recommended Charles V.
Meredith a delegate from this city TO the
Chicago convention. You can trust MIN
70 carry out our assurances. Don't listen
TO those opposed to us who, while pro-
Tossing TO be unpledged, are certalhIy op.
posed 10 if not actually pledged against
Cleveland because they are selected py
