DISTRICT CoURT.-The Sheriff and
President of the Police Jury have
conspired to place the court room in
good order for the impending term of
District Court, and they deserve
credit for their efforts in. this direc-
ton. The walls and ceiling have
been whitewashed, the window glass
cleaned, the sawdnst removed from
the floor and replaced by an excellent
quality of mating that with ordinary
usage should remain intact several
years. The Jail and its surroundings
have also been improved in appear
ance by the application of whitewash,
while the Sheriff's and Clerks Offices
have received similar attention. If
the leaky roof could be repaired and
the unsightly ceilings of the various
offices restored to good condition, the
Court House would be a ereditable
building once more.
District Court will open Monday,
and the heavy dockets indicate busy
session of three or four weeks. There
are some twenty-five criminal cases
pending for trial, including several
prosecutions for murder that will oc-
cupy considerable time, and it is
probable that the first two weeks of
the session will be devoted to clear
ing the criminal docket. We trust
the District Attorney will exert him.
self to secure this desirable consum-
nation, to the end that justice may
be meted out to the guilty, that inno-
nocent accused may be vindicated,
and the parish be relieved from the
heavy expense attending the main
tenanee of a Jail full of prisoners. If
the members of the bar will also give
their assistance to the plan of tram
sacting all the criminal business be-
fore taking up the civil docket, they
will materially advance the public in
terest.
There lisa considerable accumula-
ton of civil causes, but we believe
Judge Duffel will prolong the session
any reasonable length of time in Or
der that ample opportunity may be
afforded for bringing all pending con-
troversies to an issue. An important
and interesting term of court is in
prospect, and the readers of the CHIEF
will be kept fully informed of the
proceedings.
