From a, tribute of respect to the
memory of Rev. B. F. Brian, by
one of his old neighbors, which is
to be found in another column, it
will be seen that the fears as to
Mr.. Brian's death were only too
well founded. He died from a
long-continued case of dropsy, at
his home near Pollock, aged about
63 years, passing away without a
struggle and in the full hope of
eternal happiness. He was buried
with every mark of respect and
esteem by his neighbors. Thus
passes away our fellow-citizen, af-
ter we'll and faithfully serving his
day and generation.

All Commissioners and Clerks are
Entitled to So Per Day.

Editor CoTdr Chronicle
The present Pharr-isaical Populist po-
lice Jury of Grant parish is an amusing
body. to say the least-also instructive.
Section IA, Act No. 1877, known as the
Election Law of Louisiana, says, in part:
"rhat the commissioners of election shall
attend at the times and places designa-
ted in their respective precincts, at all
elections. The commissioners and clerks
shall receive three dollars for each days
actual service"
Anent this, the Solons of Grant take
action, and from the record OF their late
sitting the following is taken: ut was
adopted, on motion of G. II. Teal. that
only commissioners OF election who come
in with the boxes would be paid the
amount of two dollars EACH"
Now, Mr.. Editor, reform and retrench-
ment are all right: but it strikes this
scribe that it is not fair to begin with
those who conduct our elections at the
different polling places. Compelled to
remain at the polls all day, and at least
half the night, land often all night, as
was the case last election), and then de-
| liver the boxes and returns to Colfax,
thus serving about 80 to 40 hours, and
most of this time in an open school house
which barely keeps out the rain-and all
| for the munifcent amount OF two dollars.
These same fellows do not forget, how
ever, to draw three dollars day for
their invaluable(?) services, and often
or hours constitute their days labor
They whine reform, (please, Mr.: Editor
don't spell this with a big "r'h but that
reform must come out OF other pockets
| %bop tba;ra Of cOurse IL ia not to be
supposed that the same knowledge and
talent is required of the election commits
sioners as of the law makers and finan
cial reformers of the parish. Such sup
position would be preposterous!

as their motto: "Kesp our own salary uI
