THE QUESTION OF THE DAY.

The idea advanced in last week 5
Enterprise of 2 mill tax for five
years for the help of the schools bids
fair to crystalize into a unanimous
sentiment. From all parts of the par
ish comes the cheerful response that
the citizens will come to the assistance
of our schools. And thus it should
be. There is no man so STEPPED in
ignorance or prejudice who would de-
prive the rising generation of an OPP
portunity TO obtain an education neces-
sary to fit ii for the duties of life in
whatever position in life they may be
called. No good citizen would for a
moment think of seriously curtailing
the school term. Let there be cut
ting down or cutting off in any other
department but in the schools never.
A condition confronts us that no
citizen can ignore. The School Board
has not sufficient funds to pay stand
ing obligations and meet those neces-
sary for the usual term of school.
The revenues of the Board have been
used in keeping up the high standard
of our schools and in some instances to
do this revenues for future years have
been encroached upon. Be this IA it
NAV. the need is now to back up the
Board in sufficient funds for this year
and to provide ample funds for the
future, so that no deprivation can oc-
cur again TO do this will require
special two mill tax. say for five
years, the proceeds of this tax will.
in conjunction with the funds now al
lowed by law, pay all old obligations,
meet the wants of an ever increasing
school system and place our school in
terests on sure and substantial fOun-
dation. Let this matter be discussed
everywhere in the offices, the stores,
barber shops, and the firesides. Let
A as and Sel yqMfeRf ri or THAT yqfl lKs
matter shall be settled and settled
right. Demand 2 mill.tH for Ave
years.

CONGRESSMAN BROUSSARD'S
SPEECH.

!. Congressman Broussard has been u,
in Maine and delivered one of his
electric speeches at Waterville, in that
State. He was voiceferously cheered,
and given the most rapt attention.
The great novelty of hearing the is
sues discussed in the liquid burning
words Of the French language took
the French population by storm and
l"Our Bob was given All ovation.
Below we reproduce portion of his
speech:

ing. Mr.. Broussard was given cor
dial and enthusiastic reception as he
arose to speak. It was his first APP
pearance before Maine, though his re-
putation as powerful and convincing
orator is known throughout the South
When he began to speak some one in
the crowd called for three cheers in
his honor and they were given with a 4
will. He then said that he was
pleased to speak in this city because
he had found that Waterville was a
fountain spring in Republican des-
ert. In a few words he referred to
the fact that the issues Of the pending
in Maine were chiefly local,
but that az Maine elects her congress
man at the same time az she does her
State officers he would discuss some Of
the questions which are known as ma
tional issues.
Mr.. Broussard said that the night
