TO 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
judicial publications, tsheriff's sales especial
ly), as neglect on their part TO give positive
instructions as TO where they desire such
advertisement published, is apt to result in
our being deprived of the patronage that
would otherwise be given to us. The sheriff
of this parish has been making himself es-
pecially Jealous in the matter of securing
sheriff7s sales for the paper of which he is
director and stockholder, and several publca-
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
terfere 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.

The New Tariff Law.

For many years the Democratic par
ty has been apparently harmonious in
the view taken of the American sys
tenn on this subject. In its National
Platforms the subject has presented no
serious obstacle to harmonious action
ont 1t now appears that the views of
the party leaders are divergent to an
alarming extent.
The Committee on Tariff revision
and reform has about finished its work
OF bill-making, and we find the iron
ana coal interests, the sugar, rice and
wool interests expressing great dissatis-
faction at the result We are not dispOs
ed to kick in an unrnly style. Heretofore
we have ventured to say that. bnt for
the uncertainty hanging over the sugar
industry of Louisiana many improve
ments would have been made tending
to further that interest What we
then said we reiterate, and to Justify
the comments we then made, we now
refer to the sentiments of our leading
journals and to the expressed views of
nearly every one of our Congressional
representatives. Sugaris cheap enough
and if by legislation we might get
meat on as cheap basis, our people
would say let the law alone we are
doing we'll enough. Why need we
murmer at the present protection on
the iron interests, seeing as we do that
the common nails we formerly paid
from $3 to Sc, we are now able to buy
for 1915 to SO. Surely the tariff has
done us no injury in regard to this.
And why should the purchaser com
plain9 Should he do so simply be-
cause the factories make money-make
fortunes? We predict much contro-
versy in Congress over the proposed
Tariff law, and are confident that if
the proposed reduction of the present
bounty on sugar be carried into effect
as contemplated, the results will be
seriously injurious to its production in

The fire department in town was
twice called out Friday of last week
but fortunately no damage was done
as both fires were extingnished with
out the assistance of the steam fire en- i
gine, which however was promptly at
the scene with steam up in both cases,
together with the Hook and Ladder Co.
Capt. j. j. Thompson near town,
was not quite so fortunate, as fire in
his cotton gin, caused by match in
the gin stand set fire to about 300 lbs.
of lint cotton which was consumed, but
fortunately the fire was extinguished
before causing further damage. The
night previous, Thursday, Narcsse

The District Court.

The court is proceeding with its
business in very quiet and orderly
manner. The docket appears lengthy
but we are informed, there are com
paratively few cases that will be tried.
We presume the reason for this is that,
the lawyers see no money in the Others
for them.
The suits against the Sheriff, to en-
join the sale of swamp lands, for levee
and drainage taxes, have occupied very
much of the courts time, there being
about 80 of them. AS they are based
on the same or, substantially the same
allegations, the evidence taken in one
will be used in the trial of the others,
with the addition of such special facts
as may belong to each case separately
On Wednesday last, Messrs. T. H.
LOWS and E. North Cullom, began tho
argument for the Plaintiffs in injunc
ton, and in doing so occupied the entire
day until dark.
The Board of Swamp Land Commits
toner's, and the Sheriff are represented
by Judge Thornton of Alexandria, La,
and J. N. Ogden, Esq, of this place.

Qualified Suffrage.
Louisiana Review.

Louisiana Review
1t is our opinion that honest govern
ment is impossible where the instru-
ments of government are dishonest.
That an honest, faithful and impartial
administration of justice can never pro-
ceed from functionaries hoisted into Of
fee by fraud.
If the people are to have an honest
government they must start out with
honest elections. If u majority of the
white people of Louisiana want honest
government-and we claim that they
do, they must devise some plan by which
the government can stand, as a basis,
upon the suffrage of that class which is
entitled by intelligence to make it. 1t
strikes rs that IL constitutional provi-
sion qualifying suffrage is the only hope
left to the people of Louisiana for the
elevation of our moral and political con-
dition.
