Therefore, if the new committee
declare that the action of the two
committees jointly is not valid in
one instance, it is not in the other,

Usurpation of Power.

OSuTpdtlOIl VI TOWSl'
Our new parish committee met
Tuesday of last week and passed
the following resolution:
That for the purpose Of harmony
throughout the Parish. this committee
annuls the action Of the previous com.
mittee at Primary held In December list
1895, 80 far Is the question Of the judi
ciary Is concerned. And that commit
tee Of three be appointed to meet the
judiciary committee Of Iberia to inform
them that no primary will be held In
this parish for Judge and District AttOr-
ney.
The above resolution was passed
when boss Fournet was absent,
but when he came home he went
10 work and had the committee to
meet here last Saturday to do as
dictated by him. And the COM
mittee did pass resolutions order
ing primaries for Judicial and
Parish officers to be held at a
date, which will probably be fixed
by the boss
This committee is not only SER
wing the purposes of Bosses Four
net and Bob Broussard, but are
going beyond their power, because
if primaries were to be called for
the judiciary it should have been
called by the subcommittee which
was appointed by the two commit
tees by a unanimous votes, which
is follows:
Re it Resolved: That a subcommittee
consisting Of the chairman Of the pre-
sent Parish Democratic Executive Com.
mittee. and Of two members to be
appointed by him. shall confer
with the Democratic Judicial
Committee of the 10th Judicial
District. and with the Democratic Par:
ish Executive Committee Of the Parish
of Iberia regarding the nomination OF q
District Judge and District Attorney.
And shall the said Judicial Committee
with the cooperation Of Iberia Parish
Committee order general White Demo.
cratic primary In both parishes Of Iberia
and st. Martin. to be held on the same
day, for the election Of democratic pri.
maries for District Judge and District
Attorney. and the primaries held for
these Offices under above resolution
shall be Of no effect"
The committee has usurped its
power and is trying to destroy the
work of its creator. If the reso-
luton of the two committees joint
ly is not valid in one case, it is
not in the other, and if their reso-
luton in regard to the judiciary
will not hold, the resolution dis
solving the two committees and
ordering the reorganization of
this new committee will not hold
neither, and we will have to go
back to the two former commit
tees.
The district candidates are in
the same position as the commit
tee, they received majority of
the votes cast at said primary
election, and if they have the
power to destroy the will of the
people expressed by their ballot,
they assume a supreme and usur-
patton power.
If they destroy the primary con-
corning the judiciary, which is the

House last Saturday afternoon and
evening was a mighty pretty show.
The costumes were well designed and
the marching and the songs were all
good, showing that there had been
painstaking work on the part of both
teachers and pupils. The education
al factor in a program of this kind
can hardly be overestimated. The
training of the memory of the child,
the lessons in easy and graceful NOV
ments, and the practice and expert
ence that make it possible to appear
before an audience without embar-
rassment,- of these are invaluable
features of the proper education of
children, and the teachers of our city
schools deserve much credit for the
extra hours and the effort they ex-
pend in getting up such programs as
that which delighted the large audi
ence on Saturday night.

Fight Between Two Pumas.

A South American traveller was wit
ness of thrilling fight between two big
pu,nas. They came together like cata-
quilts, and for ten minutes fought with
the utmost desperation. FINALLY"
says the narrator, they began to
weaken, and as their struggles grew less
violent we could see that both of them
were covered with blood, while their
flesh was torn to shreds. In five min
utesImore the fight was over and the
two giants of the forest were stretched
out at full length on the ground. They
struggled feebly a little longer and then
both of them lay perfectly still. Both
were dead when we got to them, and I
never saw animals so torn to pieces

The white hat is a freak in mid
winter. It has little to recommend Il
to the wearer, much to the milllner In
its readiness to soil OF course, the
trimming is confined to black. usually
In big splashes Of velvet on the crown
and In overhanging ostrich plumes. A

smarter than small white toque with
black ribbons and bunch of blue
violets and jet and silver ornaments.
