Condemnation the honor which,
unsolicited, yen have conferred upon
me, l return my most sincere thanks. +
l consider such = position one that any
may feel proud to occupy. I as
sumo its duties, its obligations, its
vexations, its trials, knowing by ex-
perience what they are; knowing that
my Official acts will DO often wrongly
construed and meet with harsh criti-
cisms. 1 assure you that I have no
special desire for the position, but l
am aware of the great inconvenience
that the public would have should the
president of tho Police Jury reside at
a distance from the courthouse.
l will call your attention to the f.
ances of the parish, which are in a
better condition to-day than I have
ever known them. to be at this period
of the year. All debts contracted o.
incurred previous to Dec. 81, 1887,
have been paid.
Ont of the unexpended balance Of
1887 the expenses Of the April election
have been paid, and also the repairs
and painting done upon the court
house and Jail, giving those buildings
a much more handsome appearance
and at the same time preserving them
from the encroachments of time.
There still remains to the credit of the
general fund of 1887, some $1,000,
which will be at your disposal.
There are claims outstanding against
the parish for the current year amount
ing to about $1,000. These are claims
that accrue daily for court, criminal
and Jail expenses, salaries, etc., over
which this body has no control. All
the revenues Of the present year to
date have been used in liquidating its
liabilities.
To tho credit of the various drainage
districts Of the parish there stands
over $500.
trust that you will continue the
great work ofdraining the swsmps and
ldwlands which has been i~uaugurated
and which has been productive Of se
much gosd to the people in general.
With this work continued in . jus,
and proper spirit it will be but . few
years ore there will be no more swampl
in this parish that are not above tid'
water, and many thousand acres o
land, heretofore and to-day worthless
will be restored to cultivation anl
other agricultural purposes.
trust, gentlemen, that our session
may be harmonious and pleasant.

All the talk at present is Of the posi-
bilities of the coming Republican national
convention to be held at Chicago. Who Win
be the nominee is the great question.
Every state, every newspaper and every
ntelligent voter has a a~--ce. With its
6earth of men fitted for the high position
sf president the nominee OF the Demo-
cratic party is, and has been for long
time, foregone conclusion. But it Is the
very wealth of the Republican party In
material that makes the choice of the
delegates uncertain. From present APP
pcarances nearly all the states will send
uninstructed delegations. Two subjects OF
the following sketches have already EN-
phatically declined to he considered as

1858, and reelected three times; served
ms speaker last two years; was also chair
man of the state committee. Elected to
congress in 1869, in which he served his
constituency eighteen years. He was the
leading man for the presidential nomina-
ton in 1876, but dark horse appeared in
the person of Rutherford d, Hayes, who
secured the nomination. In 1880 he was sec
ond to Grant, and, as the friends of neither
would surrender, the nomination finally
fell to James G.. Garfield, who, upon cleo.
ton, appointed Mr.. Blaine secretary OF
state. In 1884 he was nominated on the
fourth ballot and the history of the cam
paign and Mr.. Blaine's movements since
are too well known to need recital.

The funeral Of the eccentric DR.. Henry
Hitler took place in the town of Whining
ton, Mass. Charles Sumner was carried to
the tomb on a funeral car, but he was the
only one to whom this honor has ever been
accorded in New England till Dr. Killers
remains were carried from the residence
to Wilmington cemetery in a catafaIque
more superb than the great statesman's.
This car of the dead was made
at a cost of $4,000. It consists
of heavy platform twelve feet long
by seven wide. resting on truck. Over
the platform is the canopy, or catafalque

whole is heavily draped in the best black

horses, each led by man dressed in black.
The temporary tomb to which DR.. Killers
remains were consigned was constructed
since his death, and was just completed on
the day of the funeral. 1t is of brick, and is
about twelve feet square, with an arched
roof and plastered inside. The tomb cost
about $500 huge red cedar box four
feet wide, four feet deep and nine feet long.
costing $3.50, was put into the tomb to re-
celve the casket. The boards of the box are
two inches thick and are held together by
SIS worth of brass screws. The
funeral attracted q curious crowd of
about 1000 people. The services were held
IN the house of the deceased and were pri-
vate, but at the close the public were per-
mltted for an hour and a half to march
through the house and look upon the dead
mans face. The services included the reading
