worthy and needy class-have not been paid

"time," or whatever you may please to
call it, who buys up the claims OF the
needy employee and makes money out
of his misfortune Now, the general principle
of life is that there exists diffused reciprocity
between men. You work for me, and work
for you, or you work for me and pay you in
money, or It's equivalent. In none of the pri-
vate relations Of life does one man work for
night or every week to a broker Any such
system would soon sap the foundations OF so
ciety. But the purely political bodies called
city councils, who possess the most positive
and interchangeable basis for raising money,
viz the legal power to tax the accumuations
OF property, and especially that class OF wealth
called real estate, have perverted the system
| that controls well organized society and es-
tablished q rotten system Of their own, and 50
far from the Legislative power being brought
to bear towards compelling them to change, it
| is rather exerted to sustain them.
propose to your contributor, Member Of
| the General Assembly" to introduce bill
| into the Legislature compelling the city au-
| thorities to receive at their counter from tax
payers at any time that portion of the taxes
levied to pay employees, without regard to
whether the taxpayers be ready or willing to
pay any other portion of the taxes levied, 1
| am sure that if this is done, the money due
| for paying employees will fall into the treasury
| earlier and more rapidly. But at the same
| time the Council should be forbidden to use
said moneys for any other purpose under Sc
we're penalty, and the issuance of any species
of promise to pay should be absolutely pro-
hibted.
The fact is the system prevailing at the
City Hall of requiring all or none at the
| hands of the taxpayers is utterly wrong in all
it's workings. In all the private relations of
life men pay as they go, or in proportion to
the flow of money to themselves, but the city
demands more of the taxpayer than do his
fellow-men. The whole system should be
revised and corrected. BRUTUS.

Drugs In the Cnuntry.

Editor Democrut-t believe that it is gcner
ally conceded that Louisiana Is too much gov
erned and no law iustifes this saying better
than that on the sale Of drugs To persons
living 10 the city or in towns nothing seems
more natural than that druggist should pay
a license and that no one else be allowed to sell
drugs; but for the country 1t Is very different
and the law, good in towns becomes oppres-
sive here What says the law2 All persons
selling drugs shall pay, license ldruggistts,;
however those situated more than eight miles
from drug store can sell drugs put up BY
Wholesale druggists and in the original pack
age.
Now, mark the effect Of this law: Persons
residing within eight miles of drug store
must Of necessity go to.it for their drugs, no
matter the distance, the weather or the roads; ,
miles, they cannot buya single dose of quinine
or castor oil, because 1t is not Il package put
up by a wholesale druggist.
Mr.. Editor, could expatiate ON the suffer
ings of the poor, Frustrated by disease IN the
bae xwoods, where the country store is the
only dependence; / could picture the poor
wretch. weakened by fever and seeking in vain
for few grains Of quinine to save his life;
But the law, the cruel law, is there, and
tells him that he must go to the drug
he cannot afford to buy whole ounce or a
half ounce And to what purpose this restric.
tion2 Will a license make merchant sell
better drugs? Will it prevent him from adul-
ksraLlHR tHeHl
| The answer Is obvious; any one taking q
| license can sell drugs, and the license will in
sure neither the honesty Of man nor the
| purity of his drugs.
This law should be modified or repealed
| Let all country stores be allowed to sell linn
tied number of drugs of first necessity which
the law would mention, and let severe penal
ties be enacted against any one not druggist
who would compound drugs for sale, ant
against any selling adulterated drugs.

A PDIIcenyau'a View.

Editor Democrat 4 desire small space in
your paper to call the attention OF our law
makers, now in session. to the police bill In
PRODUCED by the Hon. John Fitzpatrick, OF the
Third Ward of this city.
]. The pay of S75 per month for patromen
Is enough, and not too much, for with that
pay, secured By Legislative act, good, sober and
efficient men eau be secured, and those men
will find 1t to their interest to remain on the
force when they know they will be protected
and secured against any of the whims of city
officials, or from being bullied by political as
pirants.
The experience Of the past year shows the
necessity of State protection, from the fact
that we started with O promise OF $50 per
month. which promise was broken after the
first month, and the pay. reduced to $50.
number OF good men then became dissatisfied
and, forseeng q possibility of further en-.
other employment offered.
q The salaries, rs proposed, ot captains
sergeants, corporals and operators Is sufficient
and ought not to be less, for their several po-
stions require men OF experience and ntelli-
gence, with n knowledge OF State, municipal
and police laws
3. For aids to the chief g. @. detectives> 800
month IL q liberal salary. they having no re-
straint either on their time or actions like the
other officers.
4. The sum of 800 Is fair recompcnse for
the secretary Of the Chief OF Police; the duties
of that Office are not so laboriOus as those
performed by the clerks and operators OF the
several stations, nor is he as much confined or
under as many restrictions rs they are.
Finally. let there be q change in the manner
of appointments. When vacancy occurs,
| let the name of the applicant be made known,
| 50 that objection may be made by any
citizen knowing the applicant to be
unworthy Of appointment. ! HayG no non man
| ton with the fire department, military. or
ganization, political status or religious belief
Let his intelligence and capabilities be the
standard of his appointment Keep criminals,
drunkards and Ilgnoramuses out. We have
amongst us sufficieney Of honest. sober and
Intelligent men suitable to fill the positions
Keep from amongst us those who look on a
police appointment as that Of sinecure
Such men are an eyesorc to the competent
officer, and are only in the way And last o!
al, let the police be protected from insult and
interference by Judges of police courts.
These, Mr.. Editor, are conclusions drawn
from twenty years observance of police mat
tcrs in this city, and of practical experience
during the years that Gerard Stith and JOIN
( r. Monroe were Mayors, as also since the or
ganization of the 9Th of January, 1877.
