SHORTEIDGE NIGHT SCHOOL.
1t Is Free to Any One Desiring t.
Pursue High school Studies.

An institution in this city of which little is
ever written, and about which very little is
ever said, yet from which much good comes,
is the free night school Of the Shortridge
High School. This is the fourth year for
the school, and it now has $50 names on its
roll. The purpose of the institution is to
give the advantage of high school course
to any one of any race or sex that desires
to pursue work along high school lines.
The school is entirely free and no pupil
is allowed to give presents to any member
OF the faculty. No teacher is permitted to
accept a present of any kind from any
member Of the school The teachers receive
no salary for work done.
The school meets every Monday evening
at 7:30 and dismisses at $3.50. The term be-
gins the first Monday in October and ends
the last Monday in April. No student is
allowed to take more than two SUBJECTS OF
one hour EACH as there are only two recita-
ton periods. The original faculty that
started the school four years ago was COM
posed of Miss Laura Donnan, Miss Agnes
Rankin Miss Ella Marthens, Miss Roussa

Louise Van Dyke.

Dye. English; Miss Cox. history; Miss
Snder, shorthand; Misses Shaw and Locke
English and Miss Laura Donnan, civil gov
eminent and political economy.
During the school term, from opening TO
close one course is completed in each sub
ject. But student receives a credit who
does not pass a written examination at the
close of the term over the entire year 5
work. A credit in the night school is ac-
cepted as a credit in the Shortridge High
School, but no pupil attending any other
school is admitted 10 the free night school
The character OF the students is exceed
ingly interesting. They come from all
walks of life and range in age from fifteen
to fifty. There are about an equal number
Of men and women. Miss Donnan, who is
a prominent worker in the institution, said
that this had been the most prosperous
year, both in the character OF the pupils
and number of subjects taught, since the

Two children belonging to
Christian Science parents living
in this county have been allowed
to die of typhoid fever without
medical attendance other than
the alleged treatment of Christian
Science healers who were there
with their suggestions and pray
ers. The neighbors of these
people are exceedingly indig-
nant, looking upon the failure to
call in regular physicians as
criminal neglect equivalent to
homicide and excusable only on
the ground of insanity. Judged
by ordinary rules such conduct
does seem so unnatural as to
amount to insanity. No doubt
these parents love their children
as much as any other parents:
there is nothing to indicate that
they are not as tender and de-
voted as any other father and
mother, and the fact that they
relied altogether upon the saving
effect of their religion in the SUI
preme trial gives the strongest
possible proof of their devotion
toits observation-disclosures News.

Railroad ENTERPRISE.

The New Steel Ferry Boat
Pelican" now under construc-
ton at the Dubuque Iron Works
for the Queen & Crescent Route
will be completed and leave
Dubuque about October 18th and
be in service between Vicksburg
and Delta about Nov. 1. This
is the largest, strongest, and
every way the best boat of it's
kind ever built for operation on
the Mississippi river. 1t will
fill long-felt want as the Delta,
now in operation, is no longer of
sufficient capacity to properly
handle the growing traffic. The
Pelican is much larger and will
dou btless be ample to accomO-
date all the business for several
years. The Passenger and
freight traffic through the
Shreveport gateway has grown
to immense proportions the
increase during the past two
years having been phenomenal.
The establishment of the fast
train and dining car service has
made the route very popular.

IncOmpete Mt Teachers.

One of the chief sources of the
waste of school money is the
employment of incompetent
teachers, says the Knoxville
Journal and Tribune. This is
perhaps more generally true in
the sparsely populated districts;
but it is not confined to them.
1t is seen and felt also in the
cities. Boards of education and
school directors have a grave
responsibility resting upon them
in this respect, and no man who
is fit to hold such a position will
approach the work in hand with
out feeling it. The time of the
school children is too precious to
be wasted in attending upon
instruction at the hands of those
who know little of the respon-
sibility that rests upon them, and
who perhaps do not care to know.
It sometimes takes longer to un-
learn that which is fallacious,
taught by an incompetent
teacher, than it did to imbibe
the false notions that are to be
unlearned.

agricultural pursuits. Speaking
on this subject the Baton Rouge
Advocate aptly saws:
Tillers Of the soil are original
wealth producers and they con-
fiict with no trade, calling, bust
ness or profession. If every
idle acre of Louisiana land were
to-day under thorough cultiva-
ton, the State would be. richer
and every laborer would beimprov-
ed in condition. We are urging
immigration to this end. It
seems to US that-the very depths
of absurdity are reached when
intelligent newspapers object to
cOnvicts hoeing in the fields and
digging in the earth.

Looks Gloomy for Rice.

Jennings, La, Sept. 3O.-The
situation in this vicinity, as eff
fecting the rice industry, has a
very gloomy outlook at present.
At the Government Observatory,
in this city, 6.75 inches of rain
has fallen since 1 80 Monday
morning up to 6 o'clock this
morning. A slow rain is still
falling, and no doubt will reach
over seven inches before it
ceases. Rice planters coming
to town from every direction re-
port water in the fields nearly
up to the bands of the rice that
is standing in shocks. The roads
leading to the city from every
direction are all inundated,
making hauling of rice to market
almost an impossibility. The

THE Sta TIE AND CONVICT
LABOR.

Editor Hawkins, of the Monroe
News, who is usually level
headed, does not think that the
State should utilize it's convict
labor in farm work. Editor
Davenport, of the Mer Rouge
Democrat, agrees with the News
and says:
Louisiana has at all times
more than 1000 penitentiary con-
victs. These men could be
more profitably engaged in the
construction of public roads and
levees than in raising cotton and
sugar cane. The State has no
business to engage in farming,
but it is the province of the State
government to improve in roads
and leveeS.'
The Gazette believes that the
change from the lease system to
the present plan was a wise
move on the part of the Legisla-
ture. From a standpoint of
humanity and considered as a
cold business proposition the
State acted most wisely. From
all accounts the new method has
been productive Of the best re-
suits. It is vast improvement
on the one formerly in use. In
the care of it's convicts we be-
lieve the first thing to be con-
sidered by the State is the hu-
name treatment of the unfortu-
mates. No doubt the Legislature
took this view of the question
when it abolished the very I'M
satisfactory lease system.
It is agreed that convict labor
should compete, as little as
possible, with free labor. But
no matter what the convict is
made to do, the fruit of his toll
is: in some degree, brought into
competition with the product of
the free mans work. It is said
that the convicts should not be
used in tilling the soil and that
they ought to be put to work
building levees and roads,
thereby not interfering with
honest TOLL Can not honest
men engage in the construction
of levees and roads, just as we'll
as in the culture of cane and
cotton? There is not a single
branch of industry exclusively
adapted to convict labor.
While we think that the con-
victs can, with profit, be put to
work on the roads just as they
are now on the levees, we see no
reason to find fault with the
State for using their labor in

INTELLIGENT FARMING.


Our State must disseminate
agricultural knowledge, plans of
work and methods of cultivation,
just as Germany disseminates
knowledge of manufacturing"
says the Progressive Farmer.
ITO reach the masses we must
send well equipped men into
every county, not only to tell
young farmers what to do, but to
show them how to do it. What
expenditure of money would so
richly repay our State as sums
spent in showing beginners how
to pack apples, how to establish
creameries, how to build up a
worn out field, how to fatten an
animal, how to spray an orchard,
how to rotate crops? Call this
paternalism if you please. but
paternalism often las in the case
of Peter the Greats paternalism)
means progress, and progress is
what we must have"
The State of Louisiana has
been doing effective work along
the line suggested by the Pro
gressive Farmer. Under the
direction of the commissioner Of
agriculture farmers institutes
have been held throughout the
State. In those parishes where
the farmers have taken advant-
age of the opportunity offered by
the State government. the result
of these meetings have been very
beneficial. Unfortunately too
many people engaged in agricul-
ture fail to recognize the value of
farmers Institutes and are in
clined to be]ittle the work which
is being done. Nothing affords
a wider field for scientific devel-
Opment than agriculture and the
other pursuits of the farm. Well
informed agriculturalists agree
that, as a class, farmers are too
prone to cling to the time-hOnOred
methods which grandfather used.
This is singularly true of this sec
ton of the State. Hence the
necessity of a campaign of edu-
cation conducted on practical
and scientific lines.
1t is fact that tillers of the
soil take a sort of traditional
pride in ignoring what they con-
slider useless innovations.
The farmers Institutes, the
bureaus of agriculture, the agri-
cultural departments in the
schools, have all a tendency to
elevate the business of the farmer
and to give it the benefit of
scientific research and develop
ment

The platforms adopted by the
Democratic conventions recently
held at Napoleonville and Baton
Rouge to nominate candidates
for congressman and railroad
commissioner have unequivocally
endorsed a tariff for revenue
only This seems very much
like an evidence of returning
sanity. For many years the
Democrats of this section have
been flirting with Republican
principles. Men high in Demo
cratic councils in this State have
supported Repu blican tariff laws
and have been bold enough to
claim that they acted as Demo-
Gratis. A United States Senator
went so far as to quote the
founders of the Democratic
party to prove that there was
nothing undemccratic about the
Dingley bill. 1t may be expe-
dent not to hold Democratic
congressman representing sugar
districts to too strict an account
for occasional incurSiOnS into
the enemy's field but we ought
to be honest enough not to try
to deceive ourselves.
A tariff for revenue only is
Democratic and tariff for pro-
lection is Repu blican. All the
sophistry and all the platforms
in the world can not reverse this
proposition.
By coming out clearly for a
Democratic tariff, the party in
this district has given evidence
of more moral courage and a
higher conception of it's duty
that it has heretofore displayed.
The Democratic party should
win or lose on principle. The
abandonment of principle is too
dear a price for victory. 1t is
no victory at all. It is the tri-
umph of duplicity.
The trainers of both the Napo-
leonville and Baton Rouge plat
forms are to be congratulated.
