The action eff President Cleveland in
not attending the funeral of Mr.. Hen
bricks, is severely criticised by the
States, who, we think, is making mis-
take, not so much in saying this now,
but in not saying enough before the
event came off. MIR. Cleveland was
certainly controlled in his action in this
matter by what seemed TO him to be
the wishes of the people. Evidently
there was great deal more SAID
through the press to discourage the ldea
of his going than otherwise. # the
State voices the sentiments OF. the
Democratic press and party OF this
country, then sad indeed is the Presi-
dents lot, to have thus fallen into the
hands of people who will thus Witty
and abuse him for actions that are, TO
say the most of it, but matters OF Opln-
ion. AS far as we are individually
concerned, we would have preferred his
going, but as he was on the ground. and
felt the pressure and knew the hearings.
we accorded to him the privilege OF
deciding that question, and fail to see
where any good can arise from harsh
criticisms.-Lake Charles Echo.

District Court.

The grand jury was organized on
Tuesday last for this term OF our Dis
triet Court and is composed of the fol-
lowing named gentlemen, who are
acquainted with our parish
and fully competent to discharge the
important duties devolying upon them'
viz: j. Massie Martin Foreman, Au-
guste Ducharme, Gustave Chachere'
Geo. Pulford, Jos. Eddy, S. Q. johnson,
Alfred Guidry, Etienne Latreyte, Louis
Bihm, John Lakewood, Rice Hodges,
M. Yilaseca, John Mornhinveg, Alex.
Andrus, Bob Rudolph and Homere
Richard.
The charge Of the Court was as usual
full and exhaustive.
They have ignored several bills OF
Indictment such as skinning beef"
and /" threatening to kilP' and by Thurs
day night had found fourteen bills OF
indictments: one against Joseph CretieD
fo. assault by wilfully shooting at
another, one against Solomon Williams
for murder, one against Moses Cain for
murder and eleven other indictments
against parties who have not as yet
been arrested.
On Tuesday Willie Hanchett plead
guilty to carrying concealed weapons
and resisting an officer. He was inn
prisoued in the parish Jail for ten days
and ordered to pay fine of forty dol
lars.
On Wednesday Solomon Williams &
Moses Cain both plead not guilty to the
charge of murder, Jno. Oneal to the
charge of horse stealing and Michael
Fark to burglary; the last two otenses
having been committed years since.
At the beginning of the term the Dis
triet Attorney dead docketed some fif-
teen old cases, but the trial docket Is
still heavy and the time of the court
and jury will be fully occupied Will
criminal matters for the next two
weeks to come.
While the grand jury we're in session
the first two days of the term were DC
cupied with the argument or contes
over one hundred and sixty acres O
Land, the trial of which had occupied
three weeks.
The balance of the week will probab
" be devoted to Race Horse" case

there are some twenty witnesses ant
two hundred dollars at stake. Most o
