At the same time, strong as has
been the revolt by many Republicans
against the Bossism of Platt, it still
remains that he justly and wisely re-
presents the average moral and poll
teal sentiment of the party. The Boss
is as necessary as the captain of a ship
is necessary, or the colonel of a regi-
ment is necessary. The most powerful
Boss is he who reads most clearly the
sentiments of the average party man,
and uses that sentiment in constructing
the Masheen. The tidal waves, the re-
volts, have their part however, in the
sure and gradual elevation Of the
average political thought. The Boss
is no leader whatever in the education
of the people. He takes things as he
finds them. When his clear vision
fails him, or he becomes 'toO good,
or, worst of all, makes more promises
than he can keep, then by silent but
inevitable process. another person
quietly appears and takes his place.

unlawful attempt to drive an honest and
idustrious colored man away from his

seen that the police jury apologies to
Mr.. g. H. Mcknight for the gross injus-
tice done him at their October meeting,
when they accused him of trying to de-
fraud the parish by collecting claims
that were not allowed. The injustice
was brought about by the negligence of
Mr.. j. e. Dunn, who had the record,
and could easily have verified the facts.
He endeavors to escape the blame due
him by tacking to the apology OF the po-
lice jury a statement that it was ''occas-
ioned by the clerk of the old police jury
writing the claim in the body of the min
utes." 1t was occasioned by Mr.. Dunn
going off half cooked, without attempting
to verify the claim by the records which
be held in his possession.
