Some Unwritten History.

The "School Question" with
Foster and his cohorts is like all
other questions with them, for po-
litical show, and to be used for
what it will bring. The education
of the masses is the secondary con-
sideration. This was exemplified in
1894, when Blanchard exerted him
self, with Fosters aid, to transfer
his beaming talent, as well as his
luxurious whiskers, from the floor
of the House of Congress to the
august Senate. At that time the
Farmers Alliance was dead against
Blanchard, and Fosters power
was invoked and eagerly supplied
| to land the North Louisiana end of
the Lafayette combine.
The State Normal School at
Natchitoches had grown beyond the
most sanguine expectations of its
friends and promoters ; appropria-
ltions were needed 10 accommodate
the demands upon it from the pub
lie all over Louisiana, and to ex-
tend its greatness and usefulness.
Buildings must be erected, COM
potent instructors must be added
to the already competent but over
worked corps; modern appliances
and help to educate were impera-
tiv ely necessary. How then did
this great advocate of public edu-
cation conduct himself 2
| He made this school, the future
hope of our State for competent
instructors for our youth, part of
the stock in trade with which to
secure Blanchard's election to the
Senate.
This Is an open secret that no
one denied then nor can 1t be de-
MED now.
This great educational champion
then proceeded to build up the In
dustrial College at Ruston by sac
ri6cing the School at Natchitoches,
and perhaps permanently destroy
ing its purposes and usefulness.
That the Ruston Industrial Col
lege is an institution worthy the
pride and patronage of our State
none will deny, and the Item will
be found ready at all times to aid
the endcavors of that worthy in
stitution, but the influences used to
secure its first appropriation were
those embraced in the bargain and
sale of votes for o United States
Senator.
| The ''rufiled anger" of the Farm
ers' Alliance advocates was sooth-
ed with the assurance of great
industrial school, planted amidst
the hills and wales of North Lou
isiana, at which his children could
receive an education BETTING the
station of an intelligent agricultu-
ralist, mechanic or artisan.
CONSERVATION prevailed, howev-
er, with the State Normal School
people. Their hopes and desires
were blasted, and its president re-
turned to Natchitoches cruelty dis
appointed and well nigh hopeless.
The Senate deal had built an in
dustrial school at Ruston, perhaps
swamped the State Normal School
at Natchitoches, but the main OBJ
| iect Lad been achieved-Blanchard
had, with Fosters aid, won the
covertcd prize.

The Peculiaritv of the "R."

A little feature to be seen in some
 writings-perhaps only to be dis
 tnguished as separate gesture by the aid of magnifying glass-is the tiny stroke which is separately placed above the small r, in order to show that it is an r, and to thus distinguish it from another letter, or part of a letter. which resembles the when the latter IS made without this little top stroke. At the first glance, how insignificant does this detail appear! But is it really without meaning as human action? I think not.
 A man who habitually takes the trouble to make clearer the meaning o1 one of his symbols, at the cost of little separate action, is a man who takes pains with his work and who de- slres to do his work we'll This action, trivial as it appears, could scarcely be done by slovenly or careless person: It IS gesture of minute care and at tention-qualities that in one way or another have been of vast service to individuals and to mankind Thomas Carlyle, for example, showed his minute carefulness by an attention to that have never seen ex- celled, and which has rarely been equaled.-Nlneteenth Century.

NOT AN sNcouRAelMe OUTLOOK.


That Presented for Business Men by the
Bradstreet Forecasters.
NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-Bradstreets says:
The features Of the week are continued
retarded demand for merchandise and
checked industrial operations Least sat-
isfactory is the waiting attitude of some Of
the more important industries. Shoe fac.
tories at Philadelphia are shutting down
or running ON part time; cotton goods
makers regard the outlook for their pro-
duct unpromising; there is a reaction in
the price of steel billets; among fifty pig
iron furnaces in the Pittsburg and She
mango districts fourteen are idle, and the
position OF wooden goods manufacturers
is shown by the fact that foreign WOODEN
goods are relatively most active.
General trade at the close Of January
proves disappointing, particularly in GEN.
trail western, western and northwestern
states, where the movement of merchan.
disc from jobbers has been slow and un.
satisfactory. The volume of spring goods
distributed from Chicago in January falls
behind expectations. although larger
than in January, 1895. Some traders in
territory tributary to Chicago are making
orders small owing to having carried over
large STOCKS, and TO desire TO conf1ne
purchases to actual requirements. AT st.
Louis spring demand is slow, and gcncr-
al trade is characterized as only fair by
the most sanguine.
Business failures throughout the Unit
ed States this week show another large
increase, not only as compared with last
week but as contrasted with the total for
the fourth weeks in January, 1895. 1891
and 1893 The total is 1888; last week it
was Sal; last year 3l2. in 1894 $40, in 1899
271, and in 1892 279. There are sixty-threc
business failures reported from the Do.
minion of Canada this week, an exception
ally large number.
