T. III. HUMBLE, Secretary.

Editor CLARIoN.-It appears that
the police jury is still on a deadlock
in the election of a parish treasurer.
If the police jury is going to elect one,
it should do it and be done with it.
That continual balloting with no re-
suit, is mere child's play If neither
Messrs. Ward nor Chachere, the two
that the jury seems to be t1stuck on, :"
can be elected, let them be laid aside
and some others taken up. Surely in
this large parish there are other men
fit for the position. | know Of no per-
sonal objection to either OF them but:
there are grave objections to Mr.. Ward,
on account of his position as State SEN
ator. No man should hold two offices
that would be bad but it is still
worse, when he seeks the second Office
at the hands of those who are more Or
less dependent on him for being in a
position that enables them to elect or
vote for him. 1t is well known that
the Governor is more influenced in his
local appointments by the Senator
from the locality than he is by any,
body else because, among several reas-
ons, the Governor appointments have
to be confirmed by the Senate, and the
opposition Of the local Senator, when
OF the politics OF the majority will
generally prevent confirmation. It is
pretty certain that the appointment
OF the present police jurors was made
with the approval and solicitation Of
Senator Ward, and would not have
been made otherwise Therefore, his
election to the Office of parish treasurer
by these same police jurors, if not ex-
actly ontra boasos mofes, would GER
tainly be highly offensive to correct
public opinion and if he does not
withdraw, on his own motion, the po-
lice jurors who vote for him owe it to
themselves, in view of the manner OF
their own appointment and confirm
alton, to drop him as a candidate
they cannot afford to follow such a
course, and remain the proper servants
of the people.
If my recollection is not at fault, the
Hex-police jury passed resolution, some
year or so ago, requiring the clerk oi
l.that body to keep his books in the po-
lIlice jury room in the Court House. ]
would ask if that resolution was com
lplied with? I call the attention Of the
present police jury to the matter. The
reasons why the books Of the parish
| treasurer and of the clerk of the police
| jury should not be kept by the same
| private individual at a private business
tablishment, are very apparent. II
| it is proper for the same private indi-
| yidual to keep the books of both these
Iofficers at a private establishment, it
| would be still more proper for the po-
lice jury to merge the two offices and
salaries and elect one competent person
to attend to the business of the same
as other public business is attended tc
in a public place and entirely for the
public benefit. More anon.

Communicated ]

To the Editor of the CLARION.
Quite noticeable thing among 9th
er improvements going on around us,
is the thoughtfullness and consid-
Grafton, displayed by the Sheriff. in
cleaning up, painting and generally
arranging the parish jail for the great
er convenience of the prisoners who
are confined therein. Considering the
time Of the year, and the danger Of
sickness caused by uncleanliness and
neglect, It is. especially eonamendable
in the Sheriff, that this good work is
being done at this particular time.
Humanity is said to be one of the
distinguishing virtues Of man, and in
no instance can it be better displayed,
than in the manifestation Of a kindly
spirit towards those who are to great
extent in our power. Most of the ter
rors of a prison lose their severity when
tempered by the kind and humane
treatment OF the executive officer.
This move being one in the right di-
rection, it is meet and proper that an
observer should do proper justice by
communicating these facts to the pub
lie. Respectfully, OBSERVER.

THE COUNTRY INDICATED.

The impression which prevails so gen
orally among foreign Anarchists ana 30
cialists that the United States IS safe
harbor for rascals, thieves and murder
ers. and that liberty in this Republic is
simnly another name for license, received
very rude shock when the five Anar-
chist murderers were hung at Cmcago
some Years ago. and now again the coun-
try has been indicated Of such charge
by the prompt trial and sentence OF the
would-be assassin Bergman.
Without any provocation, but only as
he expressed it, because he regarded Mr..
Frick as the enemy of mankind, this
foreign crank deliberately shot and tried
TO kill that gentleman. His arrest, trial,
conviction and sentence to twenty years
imnrisonment on the charge of assault
with intent to kill has doubtless caused
him to open his eyes wide at promptness
with which murderous Anarchists are DIS
nosod of in this land of liberty, and he
and all like him, probably now under
stand that although the freest OF all gov
ernments. this Republic is also the swift
lest to mete ont just punishment to yIo-
lators Of the laws.
The sentence Of Bergman. and the IN
dictment OF the leading rioters in the nm
fortunate Homestead affair are the be-
Ginning of the end Of the troubles at that
IT, A. tho PHILADELPHIA Times well
says:
"Tbe strike is practically over, the mills
are again doing full work, the most OF
the troops have been Withdrawn and the
rest are about to be sent to their homes.
The trial and punishment of the indicted
rioters are the aftermath Of the unfortu-
nate business which will cause more suf-
fering to them than TO any one else ana
should serve as an object lesson in all
the future of the necessity OF settling
labor disputes without lawlessnesS.
Il is sincerely TO be hoped that the
example of this man Bergman Will not
be lost. and that Anarchists and
Nibilists will con6ne their murderous at
tempts in future to their own homes This
case. the hanging of the Chicago murderers
and the summary vengeance taken upon
the Malta at New Orleans all ought TO
teach the wholesome lesson that the
American people have no patience with
such pests of society, that either
lecitimately or otherwise, they will re-
ceive speedy reward for their misdeeds'
and that the most unhealthy place in the
world for such gentry are the United
C4o+os of Arnorica
