MR.. CAFFERYS LETTER or
ACCEPTANCE.

Mr.. Don Caffery, Jr., has written
letter accepting the gubernatorial
nomination of the RepublicanPop-
ulist Combine.
Mr.. Caffery explains his present
position by stating that he has &C
cepted the nomination lin the
solemn hope Of inaugurating an era
Of political justice and honor"
We do not know if Mr.. Caffery
still claims to be Democrat, as
he is silent on the question of his
Democracy. He seems to have
abandoned the party that has done
so much for his father without even
paying it the poor tribute Of part
ing tear. He fercely denounces
the methods of which his distin-
an unprotesting beneficiary.
He sees nothing good in the
Democracy of Notwithstanding
| but dishonor, disgrace and corruP-
ton. He has, however, detected
world of virtue and honor in the
party of Hanna and Warmoth.
| Admitting for the sake of argu
| ment that there are certain evils in
the Democratic party, MIR. Caffery
can not hope to find a remedy in
the ranks of RepGblicanism and
Populism. If any reform is needed
in this State Mr.. Caffery ought &c
know that he will not bring it abou,
by turning the government over tc
the Republicans. If he has studied
the history of Republicanism in the
Nation and State he must be famil
not possible that he has forgotten
the saturnalia of crime and plundeI
which characterized Republican
rule in Louisiana. And when HI
| made sacred" we wonder what ha
taken possession of Mr.. CATER!
that in order to purify the ballot h
has joined party that has done ST
much to pollute and degrade 1t
Does he not know that the party il
whose ranks he seeks ballot reforr
defeated Mr.. Tilden in 1876 by tn
most sham eful election frauds eve
: committed in this country Doe
5 he not know that Republican leader
, have never hesitated to resort t
bribery, ballot-stuf6ng and a
other kinds of corruption to renal
\ in power7 He is surely aware {
r Hanna's methods, of the trust
f corruption funds, of the infamor
tactics employed by the Republican
at every presidential election.
If Mr.. Caffery knows of any CO
y ruption in the Democratic party
e strikes US that he is making grie'
). Gus mistake if he thinks that he wi
It find remedy for it in the most NJ
IS toriously corrupt party that ev
= existed. In his present role
seeking political virtue in the r
publican party Mr.. Caffery is n
II unlike the man who would form {
o alliance with the devil to Inaugural
certain reforms in the church.

THE NEXT SUPER/NZEN.
DENT or EDUCATION.

DkNZ or AZZCW.
We learn from the proceedings of
the last meeting of the School Board
that . vacancy in the Office of
superintendent will soon be filled.
The Office of superintendent is
one of the most-if not the most
important in the parish. The super
intendent should be the head and |
front of the educational interests in
his parish. He should be an edu-
Gated man and should enjoy the
confidence and respect of the mem
bers of the School Board, the
teachers and the pupils. He should
be able to shape the policy of the
board and give intelligent advice
to the directors. He should be
familiar with school work, CONVEX
SAINT with the school laws and pos
sessed of the ability and courage to
enforce these laws. If he is unable
to teach. how can he be expected to-
direct those who teach7 If he is
deficient how can he judge of the
efficiency of others1
The director may be conscien
vious reasons he may need the
counsel of competent superinten-
dent. However intelligent and
earnest the director may be he can
not be expected to do much without
a trained and energetic leader.
In order to secure the services of
a competent man who will give his
time aud ability to the work, the
Board will have to provide reason
able salary. We believe this add
tlonal expense can be met by the
discontinuance 6f those schools
where the enrollments are too small
to justify their maintenance by the
pAIl0As uS AAAooSy Sov$N ~ Wills
manner added to the present salary
of the superintendent will make a
fair compensation.
We believe that on account OF
certain political exigencies the i'm
portance of the office of superinten-
dent has often been dwarfed. Our
schools should be divorced from
partisan politics. In the selection
of superintendent, his 'pull" on
lack of tspull'' should not be con
sidered any more than the color Of
his hair or the size of his big toe.
He should be selected solely be-
cause of his ability and character
If you need the services of ar
oculist you are not going 10 lool

For the same reason it will be yer,
foolish for the Board to select 70
the office of superintendent mai
who is no better yersed in educa
tional matters than the averag

WILL ERECT A BRICK
Western Planning Mill Co.
to Spend $4,000
IN TWO-S1ORY STRUCTURE
To be on Site of Company's
Present Building.

Within the next few weeks the mater
fal will begin to arrive for the construc-
ton of a new building for the use Of the
Western Planning mill company. The
building is to be located on the corner
Of St. Francis and First street, and ac-
| cording to the plans prepared by Archi-
tect Dumont will be two stories, of press
ed brick and to be erected at a cost of
$1,000. The walls of the building will be
constructed around the present frame
building now used by the planning mill
company and in this manner the work
on the new structure will not interfere
with the business of the firm.
The size proposed is 81 feet by sS feet.
The roof is to be a truss roof and in this
manner the posts in the center of the
floors will be done away with. The
second story will be lighted with side
windows and also with skylights in the
roof.
In the front of the first floor will be
placed the offices. The first room will
be used as a reception room. At the
one side Of the reception room and
offices of the bookkeepers and clerks. To
one side of the reception rooom and
bookkeeper's room will be the private
offices Of the company Probably no set
Of Offices in the city will be more com
modiously furnished than will those of
the Western Planning Mill company in
their new building.
In the rear Of the Offices will be a
portion Of the machinery used in the
business. The greater portion of the
planners, saws, lathes, ETC., will be on the
second floor and here the larger portion
Of the work will be done. AS soon as
the building is up and ready for use the
company will consider the advisability
of putting in new machinery, although
the entire plant is considered up to date
in many respects.
A few months ago there was erected
an engine and boiler room in the rear of
the present building. This is a splendid
affair and cost with its equipment
something in the neighhorhood of $1,000
This will be Joined on the west by the
new building and Will be made a part of
II. To the north Of the new building
will be the lumber sheds. These have
recently been built and are now filled
with the stock for the running OF the
plant.
The Western Planning Mill company has
had steady growth during the past
years and at the present time are crowd
ed for room. There are more than
thirty-fve men given steady employment
in the plant and still the orders come
pouring in from all parts of the state to
keep them more than busy.
Mr.. W. "A. Hart has active control Of
the mill, being secretary and manager
of the company. Mr.. Hart has served in
this capacity for several years and thor
oughly understands the needs of the
trade in the wood work turned out by
his company.
The construction ofthe building will be
as soon as the material ar
rives on the ground. The contracts are
being let and the matter will be rushed
to completion as soon as possible as the
needs the new equipment and
the room.

BODY-REsT ORER

Food is the body-restorer.
In health, you want nothing
but food; and your baby wants
nothing but food. But, when
not quite well, you want to get
back to where food is enough.
One of the most delicate
foods, in the world, is SCOTS

When usual food is a burden,
it feeds you enough to restore
your stomach; baby the same.

FOR MANY YEARS
Physicians Have Been Seeking a
EaIinhIe Pile Cure

Reliable Pile Cure.
|. For years physicians have experimental
| in vain, seeking a remedy which would
| efectuaHy cure piles and similar rectal
troubles without resorting to surgical
operations.
Many salves, ointments and other rem
edies were found 10 give only tetmpor-
airy relief but none could be depended
upon TO make a lasting, satisfactory cure.
Within the past few years, however.
a remedy called the Pyramid Pile Cure
has been repeatedly tested in hundreds
of cases and with highly satisfactory re-
suits.
The first effect Of this remedy IS to
instantly rcmove the pain and irritation
and from that time on the cure rapidly
progresses, and before the patient IS
hardly aware Of it he Is entirely cured.
The Pyramid Pie Cure seems to act
directly upon the nerves and blood vessels
Of the parts affected as it comes into
direct contact with them and sets Up
healthy action which in perfectly
natural way reduces the swelling and in

WILL OPENED
LATE w. A. Folks ESTATE LEFT
TO MRS. POLK.
Properly Comprises Business Blocks
and One Farm,

| The will Of the late William A. Polk
| was opened yesterday at the family
residence on North Lawrence avenue. It
was the request of the deceased that the
will not be opened until stipulated time
after his death and this was complied
with. There were witnesses present, in
innate friends of the family, and in their
presence the will was read.
| All of the property. both personal and
real was left to Mrs. Polk and she was
made the sole executor Of the will. The
papers have not yet been probated, but
| this will be attended to within the next
| few days. The late Mr.. Polk was quite
| a property owner, according to the will,
and possessed the brick block on west
Douglas known as Ii. Another brick
block, two stories at 312 North Main and
also 314 North Main street. The building
at 201 North Main Mr.. Polk owned

the will, also goes to Mrs. Polk.
A farm Of 100 acres on north Hydraulic
was one Of the possessions. 1t is being
farmed by Jacob Hyie and is good prop
erty There were also lots on Henry

These lots are unimproved, but In good
localities.
The personal property of which there
was considerable, all remains in the pos
session of Mrs Polk, as does the resi-
dence, 1873 Lawrence.
Mr.. Polk had unlimited faith in the
city and it's future. short time before
his death an offer was made on some of
his business blocks, offers which really
were above the market price In cornpari-
son to buildings which were selling
around those owned by him, and yet he
refused to sell.
Two Of the buildings on Main were
erected recently and Mr.. Polk was so
well pleased with his investment that
he talked of erecting more buildings Of
the same sort. The farm property was
held by yhim although in his opinion, 1t
was not as good an investment as the
city property
The Red Men of this city counted Mr..
Polk as one of their members in that
lodge ard as an important factor. In
the insurance department of the organi-
cation he carried 5000 and this policy
was made payable to Mrs. Polk.
The probating of the will is to occur
some time during the present week
