The Assessor.

Gov. Nichols reappointed Wednesday
of this week, Mr.. S. V. Martin Assessor
for the Parish of st. Martin. There were
two applicants for the office. MIR. David
Rees of Breaux bridge, who was endor-
sed by primary election and Mr.. S. Y.
Martin who was strongly recommended
to the Governor by influential citizens
and large tax payers Of the parish. Al
though the Messenger favored the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Rees, we cannot re-
frain from cOngratulating Mr.. Martin of
his appointment.
Dir. Martin is good Surveyor and
knows every piece Of land in this parish
and has proved to be the best Assessor
this parish ever had for a number OF
years, and by his energy and knowledge
of the lands of this parish has assessed
several thousand acres of land which had
never b. Ell assessed. and by these asses
ments, although the same amount of
taxes are collected the amount paid by
each Taxpayer has been reduced.

happy time. Some people have pecu-

On the eve of new year two lamps
were placed on the bridge, one at each

seems to US that it would cost the parish
less money to repair the Jail instead of
having to pay guards for the safe keep

delay make an appropriation to make
the necessary repairs to make the Jail a
safe place for the custody of prisoners.

Resolved as members of one of the

That we are proud of the result of the
late election because we believe it is a
clear vindication of the principles of
the American protective system which
we regard as the foundation of all Ame-
rican prosperity. We deeply regret the
fact that all our Texas delegates in con-
gress are opposed to the tariff system.

We therefore respectfully request that
the Hon. Samuel J. Randall of Penn

Ohio, who have been such conspicuous
defendants of the system, TO represent
the Texas wool growing industry when
a revision of the tariff is voted on by
Congress.

In return to the kind and generous

Political Corruption.

the people he dwelt on the cOrruptiOnS
and dishonest practices so largely en-
ployed in the late general election. Sc
extensively Wore bribery, false registra-
tion and ballot boz stufling brought into
use that the governor doubts if the elec-
tion can he considered fair expression
Of the popular will. He calls on Con-
gresS to take measures to maintain the
purity of the ballot ana the honesty of
elections throughout the country.
The Republican majority in the Senate
has declared in effect that all the poll
tical dishonesty is in the Southern States
and there is abundant willingness to in
vestigate and correct that. Let us see
if Republican Congress will be honest
enough to investigate the Quay and
Dudley corrrptions on their side of the
question. The South had nothing to
