The minority (unfavorable) re-

A bill introduced by Senator Rob

the parish was passed finally
Senator Robertson stated during
the debate on the bill, which dis
played strong opposition to spe-
ciaI legislation of this kind, that
under existing laws, there was no
restriction on the police juryin the
assessment of taxes, and that the
object Of his bill was to restrict the
police jury. We were under the
impression that Act No. 90 OF the
acts of 1877 restricted all the pa
rishes except Orleans) to a taz O
ten mills. And we desire to ash
if, as stated by him on the floor O
the Senate, the object of his bill

of two parts of well bruised common squills
and three quarts of finely chopped bacon is
made into stiff mass, with as much meal
as may be required. and then baked into

Organism.


The self.constituted Organ" of the
Nationals" is very DESTROYS of making it
appear to public view, that all those who do
not subscribe to the "dark-lautern" creed,
or find any objection to their hidden
mysteries" are the opponents of the work
ingmen's interests. Don't be mistaken
about this. 1t is one thing, to be hostile
to the welfare of the industrial and labor
ing classes, and another and very different
thing to oppose the Vaccinations and
devices Of men who would lead their
fellow men into acts and.assOciations which
the common consent of the whole COM
munity, without regard to party, disap
prove and condemn. The real oppo-
nents of the workingmen are those who
are seeking to use them and their party
organization for selfish ends and personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
If any portion of the people choose to
organize q party, proclaim a platform of
principles, and make an open handed
contest they have perfect right to do so,
If the principles they profess are such as
to command them to the approval of their
fellow men, they will sooner or later
obtain recognition among the political
issues of the country.
Now if those who profess to be so very
solicitous for the success Of the principles
laid down in the platform were more noted
for disinterested devotion to principles
and for less intense devotion to persona
prosperity, there would be much greater
confidence felt in the sincerity of their
professions by the thinking portion Of the
community; but their superlative exer
tions to become the Moses and Joshuas Of
a new party, and to decry and denounce
all with whom they formerly acted, casts
suspicion upon their sudden conversion
their noisy vociferation that they are the
only true friends Of the people reminds
one forcibly of the old saying, that new
converts are like young bumblebees, they
make thousand times more noise wheI
young than they ever do afterwards.
