In 1883, law was enacted in this
State to provide for the sale of all un-
redeemed property that had be1n sold
for taxes of years subsequent 1879.
Some of this property was adjudicated
to individuals and much of it to the
State. This law proposed to cure all
informalities, and give the purchaser
absolute title, by making the simple
act or deed of sale conclusive evidence
that all the formaIities of law had been
complied with. As the State had
much property sold for taxes, sale of
the same was made under this law, in
1890. This law of 1888 has been de-
cided by the Supreme Court, to be un-
constitutional, because it did not pro-
vide for any notice to be given to the
former owner. Therefore the status
OF all property sold in this parish for
taxes for years subsequent to 1879, is
Just as it was before the law of 1888
was passed. Sales made under that
law are invalid, if pre-existing legal
requirements were not complied with,
which of course never were.

And more than likely the doctor
showed the letter to his wife, or, if
there was no such lady, to his sweet
heart, and that partially accounts for
the subsequent trouble. If he had
written me such blunt business let
ter on the Question of the Hour my
wife would nave certainly found it in
my coat pocket, and know the result
would have been just the same. You
can't depend on our wives in this lot
terry business.
Now, as to the second point of the
query, as to how far your friends may
be trusted when you do find them, l
think it is problem sure enough. My
private opinion is that it depends
mostly upon the kind and quantity of
influence you bring to bear upon them.
The influence having the best results
is monetary one, and its quantity is
ad ibitum. The length of your silver
cord is the limit, and it is a dangerous
thing to be handling men that don't
hold ON to the rope. And even under
the most favorable circumstances you
are apt to be betrayed, for some men
are mean enough to dance to the
music and not pay the fiddler. For
instanes, heard Of one Of your trus-
ties saying that he dangled with de-
light the chain with golden links, but
as for voting for you, that was another
question. Now, gentlemen, you have
my opinion it may not be sage one,
but it is the best / have. If it does
not suit you to put your secretary on
the stool OF repentance you should
boost him higher on the qui Vive, for
when he selects his man for Tensas he
might possibly get hurt again.

Gentlemen.-I think it is q very

Why, if he had written to me about

the gun was probably loaded. / am
really surprised at such simplicity in
man whose position and close rela-
tions to headquarters should give HIM
more of the "wisdom of serpents.' He
is not guilty either, Of any dove like
innocence. I think it an unpardon-
able fault in such a high official, and

position of "innocuous desuetude' and

vantage. ;,

It is really encouraging, for money

iilting jade is getting TO be sluggish in
this part OF the State where she used
to carry so high head and elevated
tail.
Your secretary says that you want
to know who are your friends, and how
far you can trust them: As to the
first part of the double inquiry, it is a
little difficult to tell, as your secretary
found out. A better way would be to
stop him writing letters to doubtful
men land the woods are full of thenn),
and pay the expenses Of a trusty to in
teryiew your man. He can be ap-
preached cautiously and by dodging
the main question artfully, you can
make him ayow himself, and thus save
yourself and cause the shame of an

Rev. N. w. Warren is a mem Der of
the legislature, and voted for the lot
terry amendment, at the last session Of
that body he is, or was also member
of Liberty Baptist Church, at Arcadia,
north Louisiana. Last week the
church tried him for voting for the
lottery. He had fair trial. The
church selected five men, he selected
Ave, and the ten selected an eleventh
one-the eleven constituting the jury
or court that tried him. In addition
to the evidence against him, he con-
fessed sthat by his vote in the Legis-
lature he did wrong and sinful act" F"
Notwithstanding his confession, and
prayer for forgiveness, the church
thought it best to suspend him, be-
cause q minister should "be blame
less" etc. The report adds: "The
night after the close OF the trial the
church was shot full Of bullet holes,
the steps torn down and pulled away" "
Now who is responsible for this hood
lumism? AS the Rev. Warren had
confessed the vote for the lottery was
q "wrong and sinful act" and "the
error of his life," did he commit the
hoodlumism? Was such conduct be-
coming the mood Of repentant min
lister Of the gospel9 Or did some OF
his lottery friends commit the crime
Is that the kind of peace and pros
perity that IS to prevail under lottery
rule in this State? A church cannot
suspend one of its ministers who has
committed .ssin" and confessed 1t,
without fear Of having its property
destroyed.
