ms young fellow, Lew Towell, who
fought young Otto at the Olympic Ath-
letic club last Monday night, display
ed fine brand of gameness. Otto,
according to those who saw the bout,
fought the best battle of his career.
He outboXed Powell in the early
rounds and punished him severely and
against a man less determined than
the Californian would perhaps have
won by knockout But Powell did
not appear to care much for the
punching he was getting, for he kept
continually boring in and slamming
away in such vigorous fashion that
it took good deal of the heart out of
the local man. The tide of battle
turned in the Californian S favor as
soon as he brought the blood from Of
to's nose, which was in the eighth
round. From then on to the finish he
gave Otto a severe beating.

pect that the referendum will play an

how easy it is to veto the acts of the

measure which eXcites the least or

run the referendum gauntlet before
it can become law. We agree with
the Mitchell Republican that the con-

Morgan City Outlook: The School Board
of Caddo has decided not to compel it's
teachers to attend the State Teachers
Association this spring. The exertion of
pressure upon teachers in the beginning to
attend these annual gatherings was doubt
less sound policy, but it has been done
with too much zeal in some instances.
Hardships of most trying nature have
resulted to quite a number of teachers
under the constraining hands of Superin-
tendents who had dominating influence
with the Boards. Pressure in such cases
should be mild, since the value Of these
annual reunions is greatest when they are
most voluntary.

OUTLINING THE SOUTH.

Our diplomatic and consular representa-
tives are nowadays more occupied with
questions of trade than anything else, and
they ought therefore to be familiar with
the products whose sales they are ex-
pected to advance. Particularly in those
countries which buy cotton and cotton
goods the South's interest out to be COM
petently looked after. Yet the South's
representation in these two services is less
than it has had at any time in our history
except during the Civil War. Of our am
bassadors and ministers not one is from a
cotton State. Of our consuls- general only
three are from cotton States, and not one
Of these is stationed in a cotton buying
country. Of the 333 men in the entire
consular service only thirty-one are from
the South. Ohio alone is better represented
in that service than all the twelve cotton
States put together. The proportion OF
Southerners in both the diplomatic and the
consular service is but 2 per cent. and the
pay ,,.ey draw is but l per cent of the
total.-Uo,per's Weekly.
This is quite true and shows the policy
of Northern Republican misrule and I'M
friendliness towards the South. 1t is
enough to make any man blush who has a
particle of patriotism in his composition.
Ever since the minority Black Republican
party of the North stole its way into un-
limited and unlawful power under the
guise of law and the aid of hireling bayo-
nets in 1861, it has remorselessly pursued
policy of prescription against the people
of the South. Not content with victory in
war of desolation and brutality waged
against the South in which humanity and
civilization was mercilessly trampled under
foot, and eight years more of robbery and
oppression by carpet bag State govern
ments upheld by Hessian bayonets, our
people have ever since been insulted, mis-
governed, discredited and outlawed by the
vandal horde yclept the Republican party
of the North, whose hatred and tyranny
seems to know no limit Must the South,
the grand old South-the home of true
patriotism and honor-forever be "whip-
ping post" for Northern jackals and ia
natics?

-" Working" the Press.
From the Vermilion News. !

One of the greatest annoyances of a
newspaper office is the begging for free
advertising. These dead beats place the
name of the newspapers of the State upon
their list, and the papers are continually
bombarded with circulars and letters from
these beggars and imposters.
All of these are after free advertising, and
some country editors are green enough to
give it to them.
A number of country editors seem to
think that they should print everything that
is sent to them; and, in consequence, this
begging for free advertising has so greatly
increased that it has become nuisance, It
should be thoroughly discussed and ex-
posed at the next meeting of the Louisiana
State Press Association.
A country newspaper should be entirely
local. Its subscription list is mostly con-
fined to the parish, or county, in which it
is printed. The paper should limit its free
notices to the enterprises within its own
district. And these notices should be given
only when such enterprises, corporations,
or associations, patronize the local paper.
Everything that is not strictly news should
be paid for. Many country papers have
become so accustomed to print stuff that is
of interest OF benefit to only few, that
they neglect to publish the news. In adj
dition, these free notices arc 50 common
that they are scarcely appreciated by those
who receive them.

Board of Caddo Parish! You are entitled
to the thanks of the teachers and parents
throughout the State for your righteous
stand in their behalf. The hard worked
school teachers of this State, who faithfully

THE RESURRECTION IN NATURE.

In the bleak December, when fields are
brown and forests bare, when the shadow
of death seems to hang DER all the earth,
we can see how one whose faith is weak
may balk at the doctrine of the resurrec-
ton. But how can the coolest skeptic
doubt at Eastertide, in the glorious season
of spring, when nature revives the latent
life germs, reproduces and rejuvinates?
Life is the only thing which can reproduce
itself, and that which can reproduce itself
cannot die. The resurrection in nature is
self-evident The resurrection in nature
is not only possible, but inevitable. 1t is
natures first law, which changes not and
cannot change. The mated birds hatch
out their young and sing the glad tidings,
and ever cluster of hyacinths, in white and
pink and royal purple is as a chime of
Easter bells, ringing in the glorious resur-
rection morn.
In this awakening and inspiring season
the poorest seed in all the earth rises from
its grave and lives again; and shall man,
who was created in the image of God, and
into whose soul his Maker breathed the
breath of immortal life, lie dormant in the
ground and be forever dead?
"Thou fool, that which thou sowest is
not quickened, except it die
