The St. Landry clarion Is much pleased
with the success of of the plan of holding
primary elections for the purpose of nom
mating candidates, the plan being tried
there for the first time in deciding who
should be the Democratic candidate at
the special election for state senator to
fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Hon. u. B. Hayes The CimtOn thus
speaks:
"TO unite the Democrats is to do away
nj once and cffectually with the import
ance of the negro vote rs Il controlling
factor in our local political contests, and
1t would have the effect Of stopping the
wholesale corruption prevalent here i'll
elections, as well rs the general demOral-
izatiOn of labor that always prevails
during a political campaign. The pri-
mary election is SO evidently fair n method
of getting at the will Of the people that
they will approve it and accept IT as Il
faithful and auLhUTative way of express
| ing their united will and Thus the
division among our people following our
nominating conventions will no longer
be experienced, but on the contrary the
| independents and kickcTs will have too
| insignificant following to he considered
seriously. This view Of the subject We
| feel assured will commend itself 50
strongly to all classes of conservative
citizens that they will give it theiI
Influence and support without regard to
past political differences

WE think we may safely say now that
the Brazilian revolution is at an end.
Next will come the disposition of the
rebels. President PeixOto is disposed to
be magnanimous and will pardon the
rank and file but is anxious to punish
the leaders of the rebellion. Catching is
before hanging and we are inclined to
the opinion that few If any will be pun

CHANGE IN THE SCHOOL LAWS.

At the next session of our state legisla
ture, there will without doubt be bills
introduced changing the school laws in
many particulars. One of the most i'm
pOrtant in our estimation is the enact
ment of Il text book law that shall pro
vide for the furnishing of the books by
the school board. This win probably
meet with opposition, but the arg nments
IN its favor are many and some of them
of great weight.
In the first place the cost Of the books
will be far less from the fact that the
books will be purchased in Large quauti-
ties and will be bought at wholesale
prices. In the next place there will be
an actual uniformity of text books which
can be had in no other way. The want
of uniformity in the books, especially in
the country districts, is a most serious
evil. In no other way can it be affected
than by the state furnishing the books
As we remarked in the beginning the
cost will be less in the long run. The
law already does, or SHOULD make it the
duty of the state (by state We mean the
school auth0rities) to supply books fol
those who are unable to purchase them,
so there would be no loss in this direc.
tion, and those who are able and do now
buy books for their children would have
to submit to tax for this purpose
which however would not equal the
amount they are now annually compelled
to invest in books. There is only one
class who will offer any serious objection
to our proposition, and that is composed
of the well to do and wealthy persOn
who either have no children to send t.
school or those who prefer to send thei
children to private schools either at hOm
or abroad. To these persons We woul'
say that with wealth comes responsi
bility. lu this country popular educa
tioIi is a necessity as it must always b
IN republican form of gOveFnmet. Thr
safety of our institutions and of 0u
wealth depend upon it and the wealt
of the country must be taxed for thi
purpose.
Every Child rich or poor should i
provided with the means of acquiring
certain amount Of education and book
are as much necessity as is the teachel
The books would cost less to the con
mnnity If they could be bought q
wholesale aud furnished the pupils, the
I would be better preserved, there wOul
be absolute uniformity, and after I'll
child was through with amy certaiI e.g,o
! Il being the property Of the state (sehoi
district) II would be returned and use
again. We know that in this very tow
are thousands Of dollars worth Of scho,
I books, or books that originally Co
thousands of dollars, packed away and
no earthly value to anyone, the ellildFe
having outgrown them IN some lnstane
and others changes made which render'
it necessary throw aside the books Al
bny Others.

DANGER TO NAVIGATION.
Valuable Information Conccrning Dere-
lets in the North Atlantic.

Valuable Information Concerning Dere-
licts in the North Atlantic.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The growing inn
portance Of the subject of derelicts, or
abandoned vessels in the North Atlantic,
the interest manifested by the press and
the probability of an extra arrangement
with the British government for concerted
action in reporting and destroying these
mcnaces to navigation, has caused the
publication by Commander c. ID. Sigsbe,
the naval photographer, of a pamphlet,
giving n history and much valuable in
formation of these wrecks and derelic.s
in the North Atlantic from 1857 to 1893
Some of the figures are startling, show
ing as they do the great number of
wrecks that are floating in the course of
OCEAN traffic, constituting peri.s some
times impossible to avoid.
In seven years there were seen as many
rs l,62S of these derelicts. During the
past five years the number has been con-
stantly increased. and while in 1857 they
II numbered eighty-two, last year they
reached BIZ. The recorded increase is
probably not so much due to the actual
increase of derelicts rs to the better eff
cheney OF the system adopted for reporting
them. Most o. these derelicts are sighted in
the Gulf stream off the United States
coast north of 30 degrees and west of GO
degrees. the number gradually decreasing
to the eastward along the transatlantic
routes. y number of those which remain
afloat the longest time make u circuit of
the Sargasso sea. The average period of
drift is about thirty days, SO there is an
average of nineteen derelicts constantly

THERE are some significant fea-

was S2O2 zoos above the limit of
800, 200. 900. and some 1924. 900 of
treasury gold was shipped Wedncs-
day to Europe. thus cncroaching up
on that reserve for the first time
since the proceeds of the 5 per cent
loan were received. During the
month of April the net dcbt-that is.
the debt less cash in the treasury
increased nearly s7.00O.0o0 $685.
500. 25) leaving net cash balance Of
$25. 1888. This is sufficient for
all practical purposes. on one condi-
ton, that the tariff bill be passed,
the customs revenue be renewed, and

Hunt Insult. the supreme Court.

i ora hcrlId.
While George Hunt is making such
spectacle of himself in trying to
knock out what he is pleased to term
1.-the gerrymander Of 1885," he has
offered n gratuitous and utterly un-
called for insult to the republican
justices OF the supreme court Of this
state. Hunt assumes that the court
will declare the apportionmen. un-
constitutional because majority of
the justices OF the court are republi-
can. Mr.. Hunt must have n very
poor opinion of the republican JUS
tices of that court.
1t would have been bad enough had
some fool democratic shyster based
an action on the supposition that the
justices would render an absolutely
partisan opinion. But when George
Hunt. who has been the attorney
general Of this state. and is y. rsonai-
ly acquainted with the justices of
the supreme court proclaims openly
that he expects n decision on parti-
san grounds there Is reason for be-
lieving that MIR. Hunt has no other
ground for his action. and still bet
ter reason to believe tina. MIR. Hunt
and his case will be thrown out of
the window by the justices.
