of the Southern Pacific Company,
and one of the greatest railroad
and ship yard promoters in the
world, died suddenly last Monday
night at his lodgenear Utica, New
York. Mr.. Huntington rose from
poverty to wealth and power by
his individual efforts. He united
by railroad across the American
continent the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, inaugurated the ship build
ing industry in the south, and Gre
|ated Newport News. The South
ern Pacifid Railroad, and the
Morgan line Of steamers between
New York and New Orleans, were
his creations.

correspondent makes a forcible
plea for the appointment by the
new School Board of Mr.. l.. A.
Sandoz as Parish Superintendent.
While we fully endorse what he
says, we wish to add that the
Board owes it to the people of
this parish to select competent
man for this important position,
be he a member of the Board or
not and We feel sure that Mr..
Sandoz is too patriotic and broad
minded Ito allow his claims to
stand iR4the.-way af-such d der
voutly to be wished for consum-
nation. The present incumbent
will never, never do.

What next 4! AS one of our
correspondents put it recently !:
is it not high time that the tax
payers were awakening from their
Iethargy and putting stop to this
"squandering'' of their money.
So long as they quietly submit to
this fleeing process they may
naturally expect to be tieeeed ;
and so long as a premium is set
on dishonesty, honesty will be at
discount, and dishonesty will
predominant in our public affairs.
IF Mr.. Fontenot had not been
kept in office so long, he doubt
less would not have been a de-
faulter, as he would not have had
the temptation that he had. If
Col. Lanier had not been hold
ing the position of Register of the
Land Office for severalconsecutive
terms, he never would have been
IA defaulter and if their books
and accounts had been examined
more frequently these defalca-
|tions would probably not have oc-
Cured, as the opportunities and
temptations would have been
lacking. " H5
