St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1893-12-02

With asrcckIessness aud Il shocking
Indifference to Truth born Of the fact
that its cdtor.is biding behind a board
OF directors, the Clarion makes a dcs-
picablc attack upon this paper in an ar
tlclc i'll which lmpertiEcncc, mcndacity,
bad grammar and worse logic struggle
for prcdomlnancr, and which begins
thus: The st. Landry DEMOCRAT re-
news its unfounded charge that ii wrong
has been con'mtfed to the pcopir of this
community by the appointment of Miss
Miuno Pulford as postmaster at Opel-
ousas," Assuming that the Citation has
again said what it did not mean or fail
ed to say what it did mean, we Shall ad-
dress oursclf to the easy task of show
ing how utterly false aud urjust!liable
this allegation is. To do this it is only
necessary to call attention to the uncou-
tradicted and undeniablc fact twice be-
fore set forth in these cnlu.nns-a fact
which with all its ltcklcssntss the Cla-
rlon canpot deny and thcleiorse persist
entity lgnores-tllat twO-thirds, probably
three-fourths OF the people most direct
ly lterested III the management of the
office had asked for the appointment of
Mr. c. J. Thompson. That wrong has
been pcrpctratcu upon the people is
therefore clearly proven, for it is self
evident.
1t is also sclf-evidcnt that the Clarion
having, under these circumstances, as
serted that Congressman Robertson
" had no right to ask for Mr. Thump-
son 8 appointment, it has denied tie
their wishes heard III tue selection of
their public servants. Aud ii is equal
ly selt-evident that, the facts being as
we have stated them, The wishes Of the
people here have been coutcmptuousIy
disregalded.
All this, VIC submit, ought to be per-
tectly clear to any human being not af-
tllcted with mental or moral strabismus
or downright idiocy. But the Clarion
with characteristic crookeduess vehc-
mentIy denies it all, and to cap the eli
max most emphaticaly asseI Is " that
the people Of this town and community
arc " highly pleased and satisfied at the
appointment made. This reference to
the people of course means majority of
the people; and majority-a large ma
jolity, at that, of those whose wishes
were SprcsScd-haviny recommended
another party, the Clarion's "most em-
phatic assertion is manifestly false
and absurd.
The board of directors, if it is to be
saddleu with this sort Of stuff, should
keep an eye OH its editor. He needs
watching.

It Never falls to Cure - MANNERS
DOUBLE EXTRACT SARSAPARlLLA.
An Important Decision.
from the Defiance News.I

The case that great many citizens
and attorneys were interested in was
the suit of Lafayette Conkle as county
treasurer VS. Edward Squire. The suit
was brought to recover $2O3, 40 in taxes
as placed on the tax duplicate against
Mr.. Squire for the years 1890 and 1891.
Mr.. Squire employed Henry Newbegin
as his attorney and entered demurrer
to the proceedings, setting up that the
law under which the plaintiff sought
to recover was unconstitutional. This
is the second case of the kind in the
State and directly affects the validity
of the tax inquisitors.
The property taxed was a mortgage
and the property involved was some
thing like 1000. The tax inquisitor
cited Mr.. Squire to appear at his office,
but this Mr.. Squire refused to do. The
property was then entered on the tax
duplicate by the auditor and the collec-
tlon attempted. Mr. Squire refused to
pay this amount, claiming that he was
not required to under the law.
The suit was brought and the demur-
rer filed.
The Judge in rendering his decision
prefaced his remarks by saying this
was an important case and involved
much by the decision and he had some
hesitancy in passing up'n 1t. His re-
view of the case was exhaustive and
complete. He cited many eminent au-
thorites among them recent decision
of common pleas judge in Cuyahoga
county. In substance the Judge held
that In the matter ofplacing delinquent
property on the tax duplicate the Aud
jtor had full and complete disposition
of the matter and acted as n Judge.
The law provided that the Auditor was
entitled to per cent. of the taxes col
IeoLed on delinquent property when
collected, It has been held by the most
eminent authority obtainable that u
Judge was who...!v incompetent to set
as Judge where he was rbeHunlary BEN
efitted by the decision. Or In 2tner
words he was entitled to a per cent on
the collection of all delinquent taxes
and would gain per cent. of all such
property he put on the tax duplicate
and collected. The Auditors actions
were judicial in character and in COM
mon law he was regarded as a judge
sitting in the case. The judge said no
unlawful or improper motive could be
attributed to the auditor or tax inquisi-
tor In this case as they had acted in
accordance with the law in the case
and the irregularity could only be inn
puted to the legislature that empow-
cred auditors to sit as court in the
case and the legal actions of the audi
tor could be looked upon with SUSPECT
on. In conclusion the judge announc-
ed that he would sustain the demurrer
and render a judgment for the defend
ant.
Cases of a similar nature will doubt
less spring up all over the state and
the supreme court will likely be forced
to wrestle with this knotty case.
The holding of Judge Shook declares
the law under which the auditor places
delinquent taxes on the duplicate and
is entitled to 4 per cent. of the collec-
tion is unconstitutional.

All Poor Men.

A Republican journal commentsup-
on the fact that the cabinet officers
thus far selected by Mr.. Cleveland
Carlisle, Gresham, Lamont and Bissell
are "all poor men,"
It is we'll that it Is so. There Is need
of the example of men willing to serve
their country and their party at some
sacrifice to themselves. 1t will be
sorry day for the Republic when pluto
Gratis, self-seeking politicians, corpora
tion agents and merely rich men who
seek high place as adecoration are per-
mitted to monopolize the public Off
ces.
The appointment of men ofindepen-
dent character, who are comparatively
poor to high offices is likewise needed
as an example of simplicity, frugality
and prudence in public life. AS Mr..
Cleveland said in his speech at the Re-
form Club dinner: "We should strive
to rid ourselves and our countrymen of
the idea that there is anything shabby
or disgraceful in economy, whether in
public or private life."
With the treasury empty of justly
available funds, as the result of two
Billion-Dollar Congresses, aided and
abetted by recklessly extravagant
Administration, it is time that the
visible Government of the country
should be free from the prevailing law
ishness and the vulgar rivalries of
wealth.
With a President of simple tastes
aud Democratic instincts and habits,
and cabinet made up of poor men,
there will be healthy tone to the
public life at the capital which it has
often lacked.

A Pretty STATE ofAnAIrs.

A Washington dispatch to the Rdin
Dealer on Monday says the last act OF
the Republican party, which on Satur-
day, for the first time In thirty-two
years, laid down the reins Of power in
every department OF the government,
was to default in the payment Of the
Chickasaw and Choctaw claims,
amounting to t2,9OO,OOO. AS the
treasury, which came into the possess
ion Of Mr.. Harrison four years ago with
a 500, 900, 900 surplus, was handed back
to Mr.. Cleveland yesterday, Secretary
Foster for the first time admitted that
the cash box was empty. Mr. Harrison
has been staving Off the payment Of
these claims ever since they were pass
ed by the Reed congress. First, they
couldn't be paid because the Indians
and the government differed about an
item Of $4,000. After that was adjust
ed Mr.. Harrison scanned and passed
on the verbiage and found the phrase
ology was faulty. Since that time the
claims have been going the rounds Of
the interior department and the de-
partment Of justice and the White
House. until yesterday when they
finally reached the treasury with all
the errors corrected. Secretary Foster,
as he was leaving the department to go
to the capital to witness the Inaugural
tion,. repudiated the warrants and
frankly admitted chat there was no
money in the treasury to pay the
claims. The treasury has been living
from hand to mouth for months but
absolute repudiation did not come un-
til the hammer fell. The claims will
now have to be settled by Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration.

GiarIbalii'S island.

The romantic island of Caprera, for
which, according to common report,
Garibaldi paid less than $4,000, was sold
to the italian government, which want
ed it for fortifcation purposes, for $780,
900. Among the heirs was the generals
daughter Teresita, in whose behalf her
husband, General Canzio, signed the
deed of sale. Teresita now claims that
she did not authorize General Canzio
to deed away her rights, and that as
her own signature was not affixed to the
deed the sale is void. She has brought
suit against the government, and the
case will be tried in the supreme court
of Sardinia. The government will claim
that, as under Italian law the fortune of
the wife goes to the husband in the alb
sence of any provision in the marriage
contract to the contrary, the govern
ment's title is perfect. The case is at
tracing great interest throughout Italy.

THERE is a large trade in alligators
teeth in the south, for they are treas
ured as mementoes by tourists. In
Jacksonville one may have them
mounted with aluminium, gold, or sill
yer as vinaigretts, and they are some
times prettily marked and tainted. A
Great many boars' teeth are sold for
those Of alligators, but the difference
between them is decided, those Of fthe
boar curving into quarter circle,
while those of the alligator are rounder
and nearly straight. Apropos of both
animals, ,thereis nothing that an alliga-
tor likes better than fresh pork, ,and he
will toddle three miles from water for q
Florida razorback. In cool weather
he buries himself in mud and becomes
dormant until tgrows warm. Hunters
still make a living by killing him for
his hide and teeth. The killing of Ali
gators from the decks ofriver steamers
in Florida has been stopped by law.

"James G. H, fine looking and
apparently healthy man, was observed to
stagger while walking on Fifth Avenue this
afternoon, and after taking one or two un'
certain steps fell to the sidewalk. When
picked up he was dead. A physician ex-
amined the body and pronounced hearidisedss
the cause of death. A peculiarly sad feature
Of the case is that Mr.. H-was on his
way to Maine, to settle in the home of his
boyhood. He had passed the previous ten
years in the western mining country, and had
amassed fortune. IfYOU have any of the

From John L. Roberts, Slatington, Pa:
II have suffered with pdlpitation, irregular
pulse, Jtdiating and sn,othering spells, pain IN
shoulders, side, and arms for Ovcr forty years.
For twelve years have been treated without
avail by prominent physicians in my neigh
borhood and in New York. Growing con-
stantly worse, smothering spells followed one
another, so my life was often in danger and
I needed constant care. AS my son had been
cured by DR.. Miles NeU Heart Cure, he sent
me three bottles. The first dose gave me
instant relief. Before using the last bottle
l was completely cured. Although seventy

I claim my cure to be almost miracle"
Here is letter from Mrs. John Kolges,

my heart and stomach for years, but for six
teen months had been confined to my bed.
I had four of the best doctors in the city, but
none ofthem could beneftthe weakness ofmy

I never took medicine that relieved me at
once as DR.. Miles New Heart Cure does. I
am much stronger. My appetite is splendid.
I gain strength with every dose. l have
gained more in six weeks from your treat
ment than in sixteen months from all the

Of a similar incident. She says: "A tenn

said, once wrote me: AT last have secured
money enough to buy a pony to use In my
temperance work. Ihave named it Frances

of honoring the white ribbon. 1t is the re-
verse of the method adopted in France dur

To Tell the Speed of Railroad Trains.

Arthur G.. Leonard, private secretary
to Fl. Walter Webb, third vice president
of the New York Central railroad, has
invented watch which is said to enable
the holder to measure the rate of speed
at which he or she may be travelling on
a railroad train, q steamboat or any
other conveyance. 1t is thus described:
In the hands Of person on swiftly
moving train the watch may by press
ing tiny lever be started at given
point, say mile post, and when the
next mile post is reached aquick pressure
on the lever will stop the hands of the
watch on figure which accurately in
dicates the rate of speed per hour at
which the train is moving.-Bufalo
