WHY THE DISTINCTION?

EDITOR PRoGREss-As your columns

the powers that be. I will relate the
story, and a just public can judge

last Sunday morning my little
brother. Ii years old, rode my gentle
pony to the market, and had not
more than left her, when she crossed
over the street and was quietly brows-
ing. She had no more than crossed
over before James Keene, one of the
city guardians, had sliced and en-
pounded her. 1t cost just one dollar
to get her out of the city's clutches.
On the following morning saw and
called gentleman to witness one OF
the councilmen's (Mr. Quigles) horse
attached to his buggy, walking acros:
the street, just as my gentle pony
had done. Our worthy lieutenant O
policies attention was called to it, and
he at once went himself to the coun
cilman's saloon and had the hors'
cared for. Now, is there any Law
that makes this distinction between
nv case and the councilman's! Hi
is not the only exception, as there /
no morning but what horses hitche,
to vehicles and those under the sad
die. can be seen standing unhitche
in front of the market and elsewher

Don't misjudge; Mr.. Gus Guyne-

but he is simply seriously meditating
over the grave responsibilities of be

ton he was placed in about ten days
ago. Gus says the youngster is des-
tined to become one of the great

knows when he is hungry and can

The spirit of enthusiasm which
prevailed as soon as it was definitely
known that the Fair Association di-
rectory had determined to give a
Fair, spread until it reached the en-
closed walls Of the police jury in
session, and that body, catching the
spirit, voted $500 to the Fair Associa-
ton to be used aspremiums to Caddo
exhibitors. This was the proper step
and the action of the police jury will
be approved by every enterprising
citizen in the parish. Such actions
as this set by public body sets in
motion all the energies of an active
public, and will assist in stimulating
the action of all the private and pub

A LIBERAL ASSOCIATION.

President Had Not Have Appeared.
At the last regular melting of the
Shreveport Mutual Building Associ-
alton, held Tuesday. there was trans
acted an order of business which,
from the sequel, might we'll be
termed 'The might have been," as
the fortunes of several public institu-
tons, as well as few private indi-
viduals, would have been effected
thereby.
The nature of the case was this:
As the hour for calling the meeting
to order was past, and the president
and secretary, instead of being at
their posts were outside indulging in
some private Juggling which only a
limited number of the directors were
allowed to participate in, Mr.. l.. NJ.
Carter, on his own motion, took the
chair, while G. d. Hicks. Esq, was
made secretary. On taking his seat,
MIR. Carter declared the office of pres
ident and secretary vacant, and sug-
gested that the temporary officers be
made permanent ones. Without
wasting time to ascertain if the 'on-
cry" members of the directory sane
toned this, he declared himself per
manent president and Mr.. Hicks sec
Rotary, each at a salary Of $4,000
per annum. He then ordered
that bill of l.. M. Carriers
for, well it was no ones but his
business, be approved for SO, as
was also that of one of the n. D. Pic
ayune for $50, and THE PRoGREss fol
Sc, all for services which might be
rendered. As the directors are pub
lie spirited men, they did not stop al
individual appropriation, but ordered
that $1,000 be appropriated to the
Fair Association, and so shares Of
Series A stock be donated to the pub
| lie school fund. This is worth about
$4,000. The new president had just
appointed Messrs. John j. Koran, H
H. Hargrove and H. Hohenthal {
committee to investigate a certain
public house on the Strand, to SCI
what repairs were needed, that thu
proper amount might be appropriated
for the purpose, when the old presi
dent and secretary came in from
their "log-rolling," took their seats
and few words from the presiding
officers regular, chased away thu
dream of the extemorary presiden
and secretary of a large annual sal
, airy, dispelled the illusion of the pub

That Notwithstanding the fact that
negroes are made to pay in advance
for vidangeur service, for fear OF be-
ing brought before His Highness and
fined, there are several instances
where that so cents has been in the
market masters pocket week before
the service was rendered.
That Shreveport will take two pre-
miums at the Worlds Fair, both in
picked goods. One will be for her
collecting agency, composed OF the
market master and mayor, which Is
warranted to allow DO debtor to go
free under the penalty of imprison-
ment. The second will be for her ad-
ministration with its Fifth ward rep
resentative, who is allowed to befoul
the neighborhood of the market
house with his tenantry, which stands

That citizens committee would be
a very useful article Just now.
That liquor dealers in the city pay
about one-half the amount that those
engaged in the same business just
beyond the limits do.
That the people may get fooled
sometimes, but they can't be fooled
all the time.
That a monopoly is a dangerou:
institution, even in the vidangeul
trade.
That the office of street commits

That in late municipal decision
it was held that a peace officer b

That the City Council will make al

That Governor Foster will clos
