The new School law abolishes the
effect on the first Monday in July

ty Board OF Education Of each

1897, shall divide their county into
az many school districts as there are
townships u said county, and shall

The apportionmeni 0: the school
fund will be made on the frs; Mon
day in January OF each year.
The office Of County Supervisor
is practically the same a. that OF the
old County Superintendent of Edu.
cation.
The greatest change in the law is
the d,iny away with the school dis.
trlcts and providing for the appoint.
ment of a school committee OF five
merbers in each township who
shall have the control and manage.
ment of all the public schools in SAID
township. This seems to be unpop.
ular, but We are not disposed to crit.
icise it until we see how It works.

This day the twenty-third day Of our quaran-
tine regulation, and we still take pleasure In
stating that our city Ia stll free from any symp-
toms of yellow fever. Owing to tho increased
spread OF the fever Mt New Orleans, Edwards
and other places, we feel that the situation at
at this moment is very grave, and our board of
health has decided it best that we make no modl-
ncation Of our quarantine regulations, but, on
the other hand, II It be possible, that We tighten
up our lines. There Is no use foI our absent
friends to apply for passes, none viii be given,
and we trust the people outside OF the city will
appreciate the situation, and not ask for them,
as 1t is not pleasant to refuse our citizens per-
mission TO como back. Neither will we grant
any permits to persons to enter the city OF Bay ST.

STAMPING OUT EVIL.

The "Citzen's League" mayor of New
Orleans, is making himself heard and
felt these days. Elsewhere we show
him as usurper OF public rights, and here
as u mayor conscientious in the perform
ance of his duty.
Last week, acting upon an inkling
from the grand jury that the police force
was deIeli1t IN it's duty while under the
command of It's officials Proper, the mayor
could not countenance the open violation
of the law regulating the Sunday closing,
gambling houses and other resorts Of vice
and directly he went to the root Of the
evil by demanding the resignation of the
chief of that department whose swou d
ty it is to see that such things exist roc.
II appears tho rankest kinG nf orD,ls,
has been in practice, and II onlS the
potent agency of damaging that respect
due law, but corrupting many Of tho
officials and their subordinates.
Mayor Flower is a man whose address
is of u mild type but his aoiious stamp
him az otherwise. In this Instance aud
closing the lottery shops recently he has
proven himself man of firm mind,
staunch integrity and recognizing not on
ly the responsibility of the duties involved
in his calling, but the trust reroscd in
him by a community OF 80 vast and i'm
portant proportions. In our big cities
(and some little ones, too,) too much cor
ruption permeates Office. and In thus time
correction coming from such source is cs.
pecially TO be applauded New Orleans
mayor is Flower in street.pnrance that's
