A Letter Of ViudiCatien.

A letter appeared in yesterdays Issue OF
the FsIiciaaa Herald, in which Messrs Xii
bourne and Barrow yindicate their course
IN signing the minority protest before the
District Executive Committee
In our opinion these gentlemen need nc
vindicati0n, Their dsapproval of an ull-
Democratic proceeding is to their credit
and a5tests the staunchne5s of their De-
mOcracy. 1t should therefore shield them
from, rather than expose them to, the
shafts of partisan animadversioa.
Tho Trne Democrat however protests
against being called Robertson "organ. :"
The latter word is offensive to MS, imply
ing as it does, The being in tho exclusive
service ofany one person or cIique. 1rue,

heartily, for Congress, but we are not
partisan, i'll the sense of being bliudly for
our man right or wrong. We seek rather
to represent tho entire Democracy, and
our columns are open to the expression of
opinion Oh any subject of pnbIic interest,
political or otherwise, let the lightning
strike where it may.
With this forcwo:d we append such cx
cerpts from the letter as will best explain
their position and or remarks: AZ

A Plea For The Little Ones.

Last week, The True Democrat
referred to an important matter
concerning the schools, and With
due difference to the Board, should
like to mention another today.
We do not presume to set up The
True Democrat as q mentor to the
School Board, but since our interest
III the schools is as deep as that of
the Board itself, we offer but little
excuse for giving advice. "Two
heads are better than onen it is said

term are that there will be No

aud consequently no possible short

1t is unlikely that the Board will
employ an additional teacher, since
the expense Of another room az we'll

into consideration.
In this case, why not adont the
plan III use in many large cities,
Chicago etc, and in some towns of
Louisiana? That is, to divide the
younger pupils into two sets, one
set attending morning school, the
other, afternoon school. In Lake

and the work of teaching mich
easier and far more effective. Any
one familiar with the teaching of
small children knows that disci,Iilie
and instruction must be individual.
No other method accompIiSEes much
We therefore commend this plan

Muster Them Out, MIR. President.

Now that the war is over, most OF
the volunteers are exceedingly
anxious to be mustered out, in order
to return home to their private
business and duties. Though their
enlistment was for two years, there
was u tacit understanding between
them and UNCLE Sam that it was
only to help their country during
active hOstilities. In no wise did
they go to war as u business, and
they are not willing to be sent to do
garrison duty at Cuba or elsewhere,
a task properly to be delegated to
tho regulars. But alas, for the rri-
Yates. Though they Sigh for home,
their officers are not so eager to Law
down arms, and incidentally reliu-
quiSh good salaries. Col Stevens Of
the LIST La. Volunteers was one of
those officers who promptly put
a quietus on the movement in the
ranks looking towards getting up a
petition to be mustered ont. A dose
Of the guardhouse was promised
the originators of any such project.
The boys are right III their con-
tentIon as to the spirit of their en-
llstment, and they should not he
forced into work Which is the duty
OF the regular army to carry out.
The President should heed the peti.
ton of the volunteers.
