more fanatical, who are quite beyond
the control of the local authorities

Our New % School Board.

The list OF appointments on
the School Board of this parish,
announced last week, contains the
names of nearly all the members
of the old Board, under whose
administration the parish has
been mulcted in large sums of the
public school funds, including the
parish printer, who in addition to
having Systematically overcharged
the parish for the police jury
printing for the last five years,
had also, with the knowledge and
connivance of some other men,
bers of the School Board, received
one hundred and thirty dollars of
public school funds without the
knowledge or consent of the
Board, which fact was only de-
veloped after Il committee had
examined the books sometime
since. While some of the mem
bers of the Board were no doubt
in ignorance of this more than
questionable transaction, it is
quite evident that the President
and Secretary, and possibly 9TH
ers, were in collusion with the
printer to have enabled him to get
the money. The police jury find
ing the public confidence asleep,
promptly met the issue by giving
the parish printerthe contract for
another year. Some of the good
people of this parish were scan
dalized by the action of their rep
resentatives, but the mass of
the people still slumbered. But
when the news of the composition
of the new Board reached Opelou-
sas-with the details of all this
crookedness still fresh in the
public mind-ferce Indignation
was at last aroused in other
quarters, and, as the people
gradually become acquainted with
the the facts, encouraging evil
dences of an awakening to the
dreadful situation multiply on
every hand, and the action of the
State Board IS universally re-
garded as a slap in the face
of the best elements of this COM
munity, as it surely is an indignity
for which it was, even under the
circumstances totally unprepared.
1t seems inconcelvable that the
State Board shogd have been so
imposed upon as to be misled
into making this appointment,
and the community Should hgld

Bryan and Stevenson Clubs.

A request has been sent out
from national Democratic Head
quarters that Bryan and Steven
son clubs be formed in every city,
town and locality in the country,
and cur standard bearers, as will
be seen from the subjoined ex-
tract have endorsed the request.
Clubs ought to be formed in each
ward in the parish and we hope
they will be. a thorough organ
ization of the kind desired would
tend largely to the election of the
Democratic ticket, as it has often
done in past elections. Here is
what cur leaders have to say
To the Democrats of tho United
States:
The Democratic party and its
friends must meet the forces of
corruption and intimidation in
politics this year by thorough Or
ganizatiOn. A Democratic club
or society should be organized in
every city, town. village and pre-
cinct in the United States. Dem
ocrats and all who are in sympa-
thy with the principles set forth
in the Kansas City platform are
earnestly urged to join Democrat
ic clubs, or when none exists to
assist in organizing them. This
work of uniting the forces of
law and liberty into one great
systematized civic army should be
carried on simultaneously in
every part of the country and
without delay. The friends of
government according to the
hitherto unchallenged American
theory of political equality every
where under our flag, cannot
afford to be less Jealous or less act
i've than the advocates of an Amer
ican colonial empire supported
by rifles. No patriotic citizen can
ignore the attacks which are being
made upon the very foundation
of our irrepreachable form of
government. This year every cit
izen should be politician. Clubs
and societies should at once COM
municate with the secretary Of
the "national association of Dem
ecratic clubs, 1870 Broadway,
New York City, so that the
united membership may work
Systematically in defense of the
republic as the fathers made it.
All Democratic committees, State
and local, are requested to aid the
national association of Demo-
cratic clubs in this work.
