NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Home Rulers Bulldozed.

After all the boasts and predic-
lions made by the great city dali
lies and some of the prominent CT
tizens that the Home Rulers would
carry New Orleans by a large aud
safe majority, come the news that
the Regulars, robbed the election,
that they bulldozed, intimidated
and even kicked the Home voters
out of the polls, that they falsified
the duplicates and stuffed the
boxes and in this way carried the
election, and the Home Rulers
were left unprotected, and at the
mercy and rough handling Of the
Regulars.
And during all this time the
Mayor and Police of the city who
were in sympathy with the Regu-
lars refused to offer any protection
to the Home Rulers.
The Home Rulers had boasted
that they would have q fair and
honest election, and proclaimed
that every voter could come to the
polls and cast his vote unmolested,
and claimed that to do that they
would resort to the right given
chem by the Constitution and bear
arms in the defense of their right
and their liberty.
And vet, while they were being
robbed, bulldozed and kicked, they
had It's men armed with guns and
evolvers at the Home Rulers
headquarters and these men we're
not called out to protect the Home
Rulers who we're being made the
victims Of 90 much abuse at the
hands of the Regulars.
The Messenger had predicted
just what happened, and unless
the Home Rulers had the courage
and determination to get their
guns, and be at the polls instead
of being at Headquarters, and use
those guns it necessary. 1t was ri.
diculous for them to make so much
noise and be run out of the polls
without using their guns.
If the Home Rulers had the
courage and the manhood they
claimed they had, they should
have maintained their right, az
they proclaimed, regardless Of
consequences.

We learn that Notwithstanding
the adjournment of the District
Court, that the Grand Jury will
continue it's Investigations, of the
affairs of the parish, in order to
place them before the public in
their proper light, and also to in
form the public if there was any
loseness and too much liberality
in paying for work done by the
Police Jury during the past four
years, and to let the present Po-
lice Jury know that the tax payers
have a right to know how public
money is expended. It might be
a good idea while they will be a.
work to investigate the books of
the School Board and let the peo-
pie know something about the e.
nancial condition of the board.
We would like to know how much
revenue they get, how much
money they expend each year, and
also the exact amount of the Wood
defalcation. We can see no rea-
son why we should not have pub
lished statements of the financial
condition of the School Board. 1t
lie being rumored on the streets
that they have so much money
that they are lending some. A
statement from the school autbo-
rites would set the matter 10 it's
proper light and stop all the ru-
mors and suggestions which are
made, and which are due to the
ignorance of the public on the real
financial condition of the school
board.
