It's an i'll wind that blows no one any
good. The contest between Washing
ton and OpelOusas for the possession of
the Courthouse caused the people of
the two towns to seek an alliance with
the growing town of Rayne. Last
woek meeting was'held at that place
which was attended by delegations
from the contesting towns, Both dele
cations delared th, ir hearty assent to
the creation of new parish to be crea-
ted in southwestern st. Landry, with
Rayne as the parish seat Hon. Z. II.
Lewis, nominee for the Senate, pledged
himself to Introduce the necessary leg
istation and in consequence was en-
dorsed by the meeting. The Washing
touians, on the other hand, made the
same pledge for Senator kavanangh.
Lhe WashihgtOnians offer to build a
Courthouse at their own expense, and
the OpelOusians offer bonus of $4,000.

We are opposed to any change of this kind
A. the law now stands, the parishes whe-t
ttiicnl ignorance and vice could elect are in
and we are unwilling to sacrifice these radical
ridden parishes for tho qualification of n tbeo-

According to the Times, therefore,
ttte $ mo reason should apply for the
appointment OF judges, steritfs, etc.
ne right the people have OF choosing
their own servants is unquesti0nable
and constitutional privilege accorded
them In all countries claiming to be
Hnder a Republican form of govern

opinion that police jurors should be
appointed by the Governor for the sim
pie reason TO defeat the Republican
majority III these parishes. Itisa we'll
Known fact that parochial bodies have
TO power to benefit or legislate for the
state at large. They are purely limited
to their own parish, and why then
should the people thereof be debarred
of the right TO elect those who are to
labor for the common good 3? If certain
parishes IN this State are Republican,
Is it just and equitable to cast them
aside to pander to and pl ase the minds

tltsed optics of a large number that
minority belongs to a faction whose

principles of this government. This

unconstitutional, but Objectionable, in
many other respects 2 If the Governor
Is . partisan, his police juries are neces-
asrily composed of partisan individuals
If the Governor is Il railroad partisan,
Ills appointees are necessarily of the |
