The CaIcasieu Resolutions.

We extract the following from the
proceedings of the Democratic meeting
held at Lake Charles Sept. II, to select
delegates for the congressional conven-
tion at Franklin:
On motion of J. G. Gray, duly sec
onded, the following resolution was
offered:
Resolped, That the Democrats of CAL
casieu, in mass meeting assembled, de-
clare, in unmistakable terms, their con-
demnation of the Louisiana members
in Congress who voted with the MAORI
ty of the Republican members of Con-
gress and against the Morrison Bill,
which bill we believe was in keeping
with the Chicago platform, and, there
fore, those who were elected under the
same were bound, in good faith, to car
ry out these principles.
After debate, the following substi-
tute, offered by Mr.. Thad. Mayo, was
adopted:
Resolved, That taxation of the peo-
pie for other purposes than raising
revenue for the expenses of the govern
ment, economically administered, is
robbery under the form of law. That
we are in favor of reduction of the
present unjust tariff to a revenue basis,
and heartily indorse the action of those
Democratic Representatives in Con-
gress who were faithful to the cause OF
tariff reform.

Proceedings of the school Board.
OPELoUsAs, Sept. 2Oth, 1886.

OPELOUSAS, otpt. ZotU, 1850.
The Board met pursuant to adjournment
Thompson B. Martel, and L. E. Littel, absent
F. Wharton. and Etiene Stagg.
The minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved.
The committee appointed at the last meeting
to confer with the State Superintendent OF
Public Education, reported as follows:
That upon their arrival at Baton Rouge they
had a most pleasant and satisfactory inter
view with said Superintendent who was dis
posed to render every assistance possible in
the accomplishment of their mission. Ihat
your committee did in behalf OF the School
Board of this parish protest, and do hereby
protest against the enumeration of youths or
the years 1885 and 1886 said enumeration being
glaringly erroneous, That your committee
have asked said superintendent who is Il mem
Der of the State Board of Education to restore
tabshed previous to the year 1885. That SAID
Superintendent should be respectfully request
ed by this Board to lay our case properly be
fore said State board of Education as we feel
certain that lie will spare no efforts to that end.
And we would most respectfully ask that the
enumeration previous to 1885 remain as the
basis for the distribution of the School funds
until such time proper enumeration OF the
youths between and IS years OF our parish
can be properly made.
On motion the above report was received anG
unanimously adopted and the same committee
was continued to carry out the same.
On motion the appointment OF teachers ana
the location of schools was postponed until the
18th of October next. and that all petitions
til then. The board then adjourned until Oct.
18th.

Those members of the Legislature
who complain that they are harshly crit
icised should rejoice that they do not
live in Dakotah. A judge in that terri
tory recently charged ajury as follows: ::
Although the prosecution has estab-
lished the fact that the defendants faith
ture, this should have no influence with
you in bringing in your verdict. The
unfortunate affair in the life of his
father might of course, make us look
with suspicion on the family, but at
the same time it really proves nothing
against the defendant, as he may as
deeply deplore the conduct of his pa
ternal relative as any of US.

SEEKING A MARRIAGE
LICENSE.

The Buffalo Courier tells of a gen.
tleman of that city whose heart was
won by a belle in neighboring
Pennsylvania town. An engage
ment followed, and in due time the
wedding-day was set. The prospect
i've groom, it appears, regarded his
abnegation of bachelorhood with a
sort of rueful misgiving, which in
creased as the days of his liberty
waned. His last revolt against the
shackles of matrimony occurred when
he was sent to procure the marriage
license, few days before the cere-
mony. He sought the city official
who presided over the license depart
ment, and asked, gravely:
sis this where licenses are kept?'
"Yes, Sir" answered the clerk,
politely; sswhat kind of license do
you want?'
swell, what kind have you got?"
rejoined our friend with superhuman
gravity.
The clerk had begun to look upon
his visitant as lunatic, but oblig-
ingly ratified off tie list.
"Give you license to drive
hack, give you license to pull teeth
or practice medicine, give you
pawnbroker's or huckster's license,
give you a license to keep gunpowder
in the house"
'sStop," said our friend, quietly,
"that's what / want"
A lawyer in Ireland, who was plead
ing the cause of an infant plaintiff,
took the child up in his arms and
presented it to the jury suffused
with tears. This had agreat effects
till the opposite lawyer asked "What
made you cry?" "He punched mep'
answered the little innocent. The
whole court was convulsed with
laughter.

edness of people who purchase tick
cts. 1t not unfrequently happens
that men or women select two seats,
throw down S. or $40 gold piece, and
walk off with the tickets without
waiting for the change. Few such
persons ever return for what is due
them. They think 'Oh, they won I
remember me, and charge 1T up to
profit and loss. This morning a
lady purchased a matinee ticket and
gave me $40 gold peice. 1 gave
her the seat and S19 in change.
She refused to take the money and
said | had made a mistake, and you
may laugh. but I'll swear TO it on a
Jeffrey's guide-I had to argue with
her for three of four minutes before

are. !"
Later: Mr.. Prior has just informed
me that his cash is $19 short.

Dost thou feel the sings and arrows
BY outrageous fortune cast!
Do they cloud thy sky with sorrows,
And embitter all thy past?
