The real Democratic workers in the
State are the newspaper men of the
State. They keep alive Democratic
sentiment, from one campaign to an
other, while the politicians are occu-
pied chiefly in drawing their salaries,
and their time and money are always
at the command Of the party. The
Democrats of Louisiana now havean
opportunity of showing their appreci-
alton of such loyalty. The newspa-
pers of the State are united in asking
for the nomination of Hon. Will A..
Steidley, editor OF one OF the best
Democratic papers in the State, as
State Treasurer, and the prospects
are that their choice will be ratified
By the voters on Jan. 10.

Blanchard and the Settlers.

more tnan generation ago, dur
ing the dark days of Reconstruc.
ton, the Republicans gave away
to the Texas and Pacific and Other
railway corporations, vast bodies
OF the public domain, as bonus
to induce them to build railroads
through the country. This was in
the days when Newton G. Blanch.
ard was a young man, and unknown
to fame. When he arrived in the
halls of Congress n dozen years Ia
ter, in all the length and breadth
of the land there was hue and
cry raised against the injustice the
railroads were seeking to do the
settlers in depriving them of the
right to homestead upon what they
thought were public lands. Mr..
Blanchard joined in the protest
against this wrong. He was told
the thing had been done, and there
was no way to undo it-that the
railroad had vested rights that had
to be recognized, and it was the
settlers business to know what they
were doing when they squatted on
other peoples land. Mr.. Blanch-
ard and his colleagues proposed
that the government buy the lands
back and give the settlers the right
to homestead on them, and be was
laughed ct for making such prop
osition.
We have not the record to hand
just now, to give the exact contro-
versy, but our statement of the case
gives the main facts at issue, as
many old citizens can remember.
Mr.. Blanchard and some of his col
leagues in Congress proposed to
make the matter a national issue,
and go before the people with it.
This was opposed by both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans as chimeri-
cal and impracticsble, and neither
party proposed to take charge of
the fight. Mr.. Blanchard and Mr..
Robertson have been blamed in
some quarters for not keeping up
this fight by themselves, regardless
of party lines, but this would have
been folly, and they well knew it,
and SO they took the best and only
practical course left to them. As
a matter of final resort-whetfer
by means of threatened continuance
of the fight We cannot say-Blanch-
ard and Robertson got the railroad
people to agree to give the settlers
the lands of their homesteads, the
government to give the railroad
other lands in lieu thereof. This
proposition was accepted and ap-
proved by Congress, and it was
known as the blanchard Robert
son Compromise" and has been
the means of saving the homes of
thousands of our citizens. Thus it
happens that Mr.. Blanchard is the
only Louisiana Congressman that
ever did anything to help the set
tiers of this State to save their
homes, and whenever the law is in
voked for this purpose his name
and his fame has been perpetuated
by calling into requisition the
Blanchard Robertson compromise.

ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE.

Fellowship was celebrated in this city
yesterday by the local organization.
The services We're held IN the Chris
tan church. There We're about 125
Odd Fellows and Rebekahs present. in
attendance upon the service.
In the absence of W. H. Miller who
was i'll, Rev. Crooks delivered the
principal address. Those who heard
this address say that it was one of the
finest ever delivered in this city.
There would have been a much
larger crowd present to participate in
the ceremonies had the weather been
propitious. Just about the time the
services were to begin the dust storm,
which swept through the valley began.
Altogether the entire service was
beautiful and helpful and served to
place the order before the public in
new light.

COMMUNICATED.

Editor Sentinel: In reading the
very ably written article covering
two columns of the most valuable por-
tlon of the editorial space of the SEN
tinel of Saturday evenings issue,
we notice that you appear to have
some personal grievance against the
Public schools of this district or
against the present school board in
its management of the schools
We are unable to find however, af-
ter careful perusal of your mastery
editorial, upon the school question to
fully determine your exact position
or desires. The school board of
course is desirous of pleasing all
patrons of the district as we'll as edi-
tors OF the various papers, and we
therefore ask as you have seen fit to
arraign us through the columns of The
Sentinel. to make more certain, speci-
fio and definite your charges against
us so that we may answer to the pub
lie and at the same time correct our
errors
In one place you say in your editor
ial, 1.-The Sentinel has no fight to
make on anyone, not even the superin-
tendent, We are certainly glad to
hear this. on your own account, as we
have heard many idle gossipers say
after reading your editorial that they
thought you had some personal feeling
against the superintendent but your
Statpmpnt tha
will have to accept it as being true at
this time, regardless that there may
have been personal feeling upon your
part towards the superintendent in
the past.
But you further say in this editor
ial, ''Mr. Wheeler has not said that
he was not in favor of continuing the
present superintendent. If he would
say that he believes change would
be for the best interest of the school.
he would have no opposition -
Will you kindly state to the public
briefly las we do not wish the valua-
BILE space of The Sentinel used in a
matter in which we are interested
without pay what 'change" you re-
fer to which you desire made? Will
you further state whether you have
ever been before the present school
board and demanded this change
made, and what have been the results
OF your demands to the board? Fur
ther. we will ask has the distingui ish-
ed gentleman whom you have an
nounced as a candidate for school di-
rector against me pledged himself to
make 1.-THE change which you wish ?
90 We feel that the school boaro has a
right to know these things, the public
has right to know them, and now
ask that you make clear your charges
against the schools of this city, and
state definitely where you get your
information whether from hearsay or
from actual personal investigation in
the schools.
Respectfully.
