The Past and Present,
Attakapas indicator.

Attakapas indicator.
Some months ago Lou isiana went
through a political cyclone which nearly
caused the upheaval both in and outside
the party ranks. One end of Democracy
was successful and took the offices. 1t
is at this time useless to discuss the
means by which this measure was
brought about, but it is here just the
same. Soon after that compromise
was effected by which one side got
everything and the other took the bal
ance-but there was no balance. In bis
inaugural address, the present chief ex-
ecutive, whom St. Mary furnished to the
state, promised to obliterate the faction
al lines, as far as it was in his power to
do 80 within his party, and to appoint
good men to office whether they sup
ported Foster or McEnery. It was a
repetition of an agreement made by a
committee from both factions, but no to
agreement and repeated by the govern.
or. has been fulfilled. There may be
some executions to this assertion, but If
there be any, they are strangers to this
end of the world.
Go through every parish in Louisiana,
take the governors appolntees and it
will be seen that not one commission
is held in accordance with that docu-
ment. In the parish of st. Landry, even
the followers of the administration can
not hold commissions unless they dance
to each shrill note as it is tWaDged from
the executive harp IN Baton Rouge to
be echoed throughout the state. Very
much less does the appointments Of
even the minor positions fail to fall into
the hands of any ex-McEneryite but the
Others cannot hold them unless they
swing their partners" and "dance
with the bear.H
The police jury of Vernon parish,
which was appointed by the present
Governor, if we are allowed to accept
the assertion of the Vernon News, is
Systematically engaged in l0oting the
treasury in conjunction with the clerk
of court of that parish, despite the pro-
test OF the parish treasurer to the con-
trary. A report was made and sent to
the Vernon police jury, showing the bo-
gus warrants which had been drawn,
with request to investigate the matter,
and not only did u failure result, but
the report was expunged from the min
utes, thereby attempting to hide the
thieyery, or whatever it nijght be call
ed.
The parish of Richland is not one of
extreme ignorance but reports from that
quarter say that the police jury of that
parish is composed of set OF illiteratc
ignorant to audit the books OF

not certain that they ate retained be-
cause of their capacity to properly hold
their positions. This is not Il theory,
but staring condition.
These are far-Off pictures, and to
prove our argument, We will como little
nearer home. In the parish of Calca-
sieu another accidental police jury ex-
lists and it has spent $4,000 Of the peo-
ple's money attempting to GUST d. j.
Reid from tue Sheritf's office, to which
he was elected, under the charge of en-
bezzlement, but the Supreme Court
shaved their plans down oven with the
earth. Reid exhibited tho state audi
tors receipts for every quarter since he
had occupied the office, aud upon the
face Of the records clean aud faithful
execution OF the duties incumbent upon
him. He is still being logged, and the
outlook is that another good sum of
with the end in view of getting Mr..
Reid out of office. A few strokes of the
governors sickle would do an Immense
benefit in our Western Empire parish.
All of this, however, is of little inter-
eat to our home people. but let us turn
to st. Mary, look over the pages of tho
past and present. If that spectacle docs
not draw the tears from the transparent
political ghost, then our people are crazy
for having created it.
The indicator does not blame the
governor for making appointments. 1t
is his business. What we want is for
the app0iutiye power to DO taken from
his hands and placed at the disposal of
the people, which explains why it should
be done.
