The fame Clara Morris has secured
and which places her at the very top
of her profession is 4 well earned one.
She began at the very bottom of the
ladder when she was a child, and
mounted to her present exalted po-
sition through careful study with
inherent genius. She comes to Har-
per's theater on next Tuesday night,
and will be seen for the first time
here in her matchless rendition of
her new play. Claire" This play
will in many respects reveal Miss
Morris ut her best, for it abounds In
strong scenes and situations calling
for full display Of all her superb
powers. The company she carries is
spoken of rs one Of the very best
travelling. A very large audience
will doubtless greet her. Is she will
be the theatrical treat Of the season.
Miss Morris travels in her own spec.
ial car, which is furnished and fitted
up in the most elaborate manner.

some USEFUL SUGGESTIONS.


Communicated To- The Progress
Tho Independent spirit displayed
by The PRoGREss, and the war which
it has declared against the abuses and
usurpations which prevail in our
midst, is happy omen for the public
at large.
One of theabuscs which calls most
loudly for redress is the imposition of
taxes by body of appointees, called
police jurors They have not been
elected by the people, and are not
their representatives, and have no
more right TO levy on the property Of
their fellow citizens than TO stop a
train and rob the Passengers.
1T is well approved maxim, at
least in these United States, that tax
alton without representation is tyran-
ny" and is inconsistent with the fund
amental principles Of our con@titu-
tion. For a few men, composing a
party ring or clique, to usurp legisla-
tive powers is stride backwards, to
the absolutism of Russia or Turkey.
There is another abuse and of not
small importance-th right of the
people to regulate their own schools,
which is ignored, at least in this par
isb, by outsiders forming incum-
brance called 'board." Let the
school law be altered so that each
community will be empowered to
elect school trustees and have its pro
rata Of the school fund pro-rated to il
and at its disposal. This is a just
and reasonable way of settling the
school question, and one part OF the
parish could not be favored at the ex-
pense OF other portions.
There are other evils to be RENE
died which, no doubt, The PRoeREss
will combat msnfully until every
vestige Of rings, cliques, intriguers
and snobs. and selfish, shoddy aristo-
cracy is swept out Of sight and con-
signed to oblivion. TAXPAYER.

AZ the regular quaI terly meeting of

adopted:
Resolved, that we, the Caddo Parish

Resolved, ;hat copy of this resolution
lie furnished The PBOGREsS for publlcn-
ton.
W. \. UENDbICK. President,
+. J. lIERHoN Secretary.
The PaoGREss certainly joins its
friend, the =. -ish Union, in its dis
appreciation o. he course pursued by
Senators Whit and Caffery, and we
certainly think that that body was
exceedingly charitable in its utter
ances, for these Senators were guilty
of grave misrepresentation when
their votes and influence were used
against the passage of the two bills
whose import meant so much to the
farmers and working classes.
We are likewise heartily IN accord
with the endorsement given the Hon.
N. G.. Blanchard, for he hes been with
them and the people on question,
or rather questions which are so near
their hearts.
Northwest Louisiana unquestion-
ably has a staunch friend in Mr.,
Blanchard He has ever been watch
full Of the interests of the people in
this section of the State, while. he
has zealously guarded aud promoted
those of all portions thereof. He is
a man whom the ordinary people can
get at, al official who can and does
find time to respond to queries from
one and all alike, irrespective of so
cial station or monied influence, and
pays the same attention TO an oh
scure constituent with minor re.
quest to be granted, as he does to the
imposing parsonage with the huge
transactions to be looked after. He
is at once a statesman and genial
gentleman, man who can mingle
with men in lax, social intercourse
and represents great State in the
halls Of our National Congress. And
is, in our opinion. the man whom the
farmers, the people, the masses-noI
the politicians-of Louisiana should
have to represent them in the United
States Senate. He has been weighed
ir the balance on the vital questions
ofthe times and found mot wanting
He may not agree with US on al
questions, in fact he differs very ma
terially from The PRoGREss on sew
erpl, but for all that, for an all around
man, he is assuredly our choice fol
the gentleman who must succeed Mr.
Gallery; and we shall consider it time
well employed IL we can assist in
