A Business Proposition.

The election being over and business
getting dull, and new crop of tax
sales being about to ripen, we wish to
put il on record that the COURIER is
willing to advertise the delinquent tax
list at the rate of so cents each for
movable property and one dollar each
for immovable property. This rate is
at least one hundred per cent less than
was charged for advertising tax sales
last year in the Clarion-although the
COURIER and Democrat had both offer
ed to do the work at and 10 cents.
The Clarion was scandalized at our lib
eral offer then, but we hope our present
offer will meet with more consideration
from the powers that be, especially as
it cannot be claimed that there is any
politics in it, but only plain business
proposition for the benefit of the de-
linquent tax payer Let us hear from
the Sheriff on the subject.

The Fosterites, it will be remember
ed, declared that they did not want
the offices. but thirsted only for the life
blood of the Louisiana Lottery in or
der that they might save the honor
and the manhood of the State. Now,
however, we find these unselfish pa
triots rushing to Franklin, in the par
ish Of st. Mary, for the purpose of
bombarding Murphy j. Foster with ap-
plication for Office. All along the line
is heard the roar of the hungry Office
seeker, which must be appalling to the
men now in Office, and who hoped and
expected by reason of their enlistment
under the Fosterian banner to hold on
for another four years In order to
provide places for friends, Murphy
Foster will have to turn friends out, and
as matter of course, no matter what
course he pursues, there is going to be
grief. disappointment and disgust in
his camp. The rations are small and the
hungry are numerous, and there is no
McEnery man in Office to be fred out. Mr..
Foster will, therefore, have to boost
Ills own adherents, and as a matter OF
course antagonize one friend in order
to favor another. We are therefore not
at all surprised to hear that Mr.. Fos-
ter is anxious to hide himself from the
place hunters who are laying for him
in this city and elsew here.-N. O.

An Important. Celebration.

On October 10, the 400th Anniver-
sary of the discovery of America. the
Worlds Columbian Exposition grounds
will be dehtated in Chicago. 1t is
proposed THAR the day of the finding
of America should be celebrated every
suhere in America, and in order that
these local observances should be linked
together as part of some National
system, the Committee of the National
Columbian Public School Celebration
proposes that our most representative
American Institution, THE Public
Schools-be the centre of each local
celebration, and both the Worlds Con-
gress Commissions of the Columbian
Exposition and the American Superin-
tendents of Education have requested
that the public schools of each city and
town lead in the local celebration.
Those bodies have appointed joint
Executive Committee to direct the
movement and to prepare uniform
and fitting programme for universal
use.
The COURIER has been selected as
the special advocate and medium of
the PuDllc Sch0ol leadefshp OF the
celebration in st. Landry, and all
news touching this National Celebra-
tion will be furnished promptly through
our columns from this date until the
18th of October, including the official
messages from the Executive Commit
tee, illustrated articles, the official pro-
gramme, etc, etc. In order to enable
everyone interested in this important
movement to keep posted we will send
the COURIER to any school teacher un-
til the 18th of October next for one
dollar; and to scholars in any school,
in clubs of five or more, at 81 each.
This offer to hold good only for the
next thirty days. Subscribe now and
get the COURIER nearly six months for
one dollar.

no our Friends and Patrons.

We wish to call the attention of the friends
and patrons of the COURIER to the necessity
of their being on the alert, in the matter of
iudicial publications. isheriffs sales especial
1yl as a neglect on their part to give positive
instructions as to where they desire such
advertisement published, is apt to result in
cur being deprived of the patronage that
would otherwise be given to us. The sheriff
Of this parish has been making himself es-
peeially jealous in the matter of securing
sheriffs sales for the paper of which he is
director and stockholder, and several publica-
tions Of that nature have appeared in that
paper which the parties interested would
have selected to be done in the COURIER, had
they been consulted and others have been
diverted from us at the special solicitation of
the sheriff or his deputies serving the papers
in the matter of seizures.
To those who prefer to patronize any other
paper in this parish we have no desire to in
terfers with their preferences, but our friends
who wish to favor US with their patronage
are earnestly requested to see that the proper
officers are instructed to have the publication
done in the CoURIER-and they are especially
warned against allowing themselves to be in
duced to consent that the advertisement
should be done in some other paper.

There are several reforms which the

consider when it comes into power.
Leaving the election law for future
adjustment, one of the most pressing
duties of the incoming Legislature will
be the remodeling of our judicial sys-

vide for the excision of the five Circuit
courts ofappeal as useless and ex-
trayagant appendage. The next
step should be to reduce the mum Der ot
district judges and district attorneys to
approximately two thirds of the pres
