A Reply to Dunn's TRADE.

Editor ]. e. Dunn, parish treasurer,
parish printer, assistant president and
clerk Of the police jury, etc., is exceed
ingly wrathy because we said his bond
was the most faulty among those that
the grand jury found "sureties not sol
vent for the amount signed for" And he
proceeds to malign and villify US person
ally, instead of going ahead and making
satisfactory bond that cannot be criti-
zed. Without going into minute details
we will state that two or three Of his
bondsmen have no real estate on the tax
rolls, while three or four others have ia
ken advantage OF the homestead exemp-
ton act. He seeks to justify his bond
by charging that in our official capacity
four years ago we accepted bond that
was not perfect. Well. that bond has
served the public without mishap. Be-
side that, the sureties we approved were
then down on the tax rolls for s223
worth of property, nearly all real estate,
while the sureties he offers for the same
bond are on the tax rolls for only SIS, 100,
and about half of thcm are not solvent
for the amounts signed for.
He says he is willing to pay US to rem
der an account of the parish indebted
ness, his own stupidity or laziness being
so great that in whole months time he
has not mastered the problem. Let him
turn to the recorded police jury proceed
ings of April Z. 1896, where he will find
list OF the registered clsims due by the
parish and payable out OF the revenues
Of 1895. That list embraces about all Of
the back Indebtedness of the parish.
Add to IT the amount due on Jail cages,
amount of judges orders, current salaries
OF officers and other claims approved by
the police jury for 1896. and You have all
due, except for outstanding scrip, which
is to be found out by comparing the
stubs of the clerk with amount Of scrip
reported by tax collector and treasurer.
We charge nothing for this inforna-
ton, and hope Bro. Dunn will have the
common sense to act upon it. We sent
him reply to his questions of last week,
which in all fairness he should have pub
lished, but in his issue of to-day we see
he suppresses our reply, yet proceeds to
answer US without giving the public the
benefit of our statements.

NOT DEAD UNTIL BURIED.
Nubar Pnshn's Twenty Mile Ride With IL
Japanese Princes Corpse.

Among tho QucercSt features of court
etiquette of tho old world are those in con-
ncction with royal and imperial deaths.
This Is wildly brought homo to one by
tho grim circumstances surrounding tho
demise of tho Japanese imperial prince
and field marshal Kitashirakawa, who
succumbod to fever while in command of
tho mikndo's army Of occupation in the is
Iand of Formosa.
Japanese court etiquette requires that
no publication Or official intimation of tho
death OF u mombor Of tho rcigning family
shall DO mado until after tho celebration
OF certain mortuury ceremonies In his or
her own palace.
Tho dead prince was, therefore, brought
all tho way back from Formosa to Tokyo
| as live man. The general order announc-
| ing his departure to tho troops under his
| command in Formosn boro his signature
| or what purportcd to be SUCH
Tho man of wnr that bore his corpse to
| tho Japanese naval arsenal and seaport Of
| Yokosuka flew no emblem of mourning Mt
| its masthead; meals wero served in tho
| cabin whcro tho dcnd prince lay, and tho
military and naval daily reports were
| nndo to his deaf ears every morning and
evening, just as were he alive
On arrival at Yokosuka he was discm-
barkcd and received with naval and mill
tary honors as if he had been alive, and his
corpse, arrayed i'll tho uniform of field
MARSHAL was seated in salon carriage on
the railroad, his staff taking their places
| around lin.
| Arriving st Tokyo, ho was conveyed not
to II hoarsc, but to an ordinary coupe, seat
| cd in which ho was driven to his palace,
| and it WAS only on tho following day that
tho public and official announcement of
| his demise WAS madc.-I3oston Globo.
