It was my intention as President
of the Louisiana Press Associa-
ton to Issue a call for that body
to meet during the first week of
May next, at Natchitoches, the
place designated at last meeting,
which would have given ample
time for delegates selected as rep
resentatives to the National Press
Association to reach Chicago by
the 10Th, the date of its meeting.
1t having been suggested to me,
however, by prominent citizens of
Natchltoches that the second Mon
day in May would be the most ac-
ceptable date in view of the fact
that the Normal School will close
its session shortly after, and that
it is desirable the Press Associa-
ton should have an opportunity of
inspecting that noble educational
institution, and furthermore, hav-
ing been requested by some of the
most active members of the Press
Association who are delegates to
the Grand Lodge Knights of Py-
thias, which will meet at Lake
Charles on the first Monday of
May / am compelled to select May
9th next, as the day for the meet
ing of the Louisiana Press Associ-
alton. and trust that date will meet
the approval of all.
Further, in view of the fact that
the date selected may be too late to
permit delegates to reach Chicago
by the 10Th, and not wishing to as
sumo the responsibility of appoint
ing representatives, / hereby call
upon each and every member of our
association to give expression to his
or her views upon this subject and
to state whether in their opinion
their opinion the appointments
should be made by me or deferred
until the meeting on the 9Th of
May. l would at the same time
request all members who desire
appointment to send in their names
-one only from each newspaper
that in the event / be authorized
to make selections, all may have a
fair and equal chance. An early
reply to this appeal is earnestly
solicited. JOHN MCGRATH,
President La, Press Association.

Read This, School Trustees.

A school trustee is supposed to be
an educational officer, not a small
fry politician.
Politics, religion, national preju-
dices- keep these three things out
of the school; they have no bust
ness there.
A board of education is the SER
want of the people, not a trust
for self-aggrandizement or private
schemes.
Transacting public business does
not mean the satisfaction of private
grudges or the manifestation of
personal animosities.
A teacher with a pull" is often
teacher without any other quail
fication.

Wall Street Was Scared.

Under the above caption Wash
ington special, dated April Oath, has
the following:
The statement of the President
that the secretary of the treasury
never contemplated the payment of
treasury notes in silver has created
considerable talk, as there was a
general belief that not only had this
plan been seriously thought of, but
had practically been decided on.
The advisers of Secretary Carlisle,
especially the Southern senator's,
had, it was understood, counselled
him to adopt the course that has
been outlined and with them he
agreed. The intimation that the
payment on the notes in gold was
to be stopped, was received with
the greatest concern by Wall street,
and messages and couriers were
sent here to stop this plan.
The above paragraph may be ex-
pected to set all the little yelpers
of Third Partyism agog, and it was
likely sent out in that shape to give
them clue to bark at. True, they
don't know any more about the
financial problems of the nation
than hog does about holiday, but
all the same they assume the wis.,
dom and patriotism of Jefferson,
Carlisle, and all the others who
have made the subject a lifelong
study, and yet acknowledge their
incompetence to meet the situation
in full. Couriers and messengers
sent from Wall street to stop the
Presidents plan! What nonsense;
and the writer of the sentence knew
it when he penned it. The whole
thing was based upon a discussion
in the Cabinet as to the policy of
the administration in meeting the
demand for gold shipment abroad.
The President has quieted all finan-
cial furry by simply stating that
the law on the subject would be
followed; that the government would
continue to redeem treasury notes
in gold, but that under the act of
1890 they would also be redeemed
in silver, and thus bi-metalism es-
tablished in the way that has been
decided by the national patriots
and statesmen to be alike benef-
cial and to the interest of bankers,
farmers and artisans.
