A Tribute to West Felician;e.
The Amende Honorable.

As we expected, the editor of the n. O.
Eren!ng States has not delayed III making
amends for his brief lapse of confidence
in our parish, by tho following beautiful
tribute:
West Feliciana.
Some weeks ago, we think it was,
q quito startling account of the brutal
treatment Of u tramp by the quarantine
authorities of East and West Felicana
was printed in the Fe}iciana Herald.
Certainly wo were quite shocked to learn
that such inhumanity could he exhibited in
the grand old parrish Of West Fe]iciana,
the land of our birth and still the land
of our love But being printed in one
of the local papers of tho parish we had
no right to discredit it and We reproduced
the facts as stated by the Herald. We
need hardly say that We rcjbteo' to see
the disgraccful story directly contradicted
by tho True Democrat of the same parish,
accompanied by the accompanying para
graph; tcuching the editor Of the States:
(i1ere follows paragraph from True Demo-
crat Of last week.)
This is positively tho first authoritative
denial that we have heard of tho story.
The mails have been 80 irregular that per-
haps copies of our West Fcliciana con-
temlorarirs have failed to reach US. The

that If We were ever able to lay down the
burdens and conflicts of this life for a
few brief years of repose it would he sonlo

wales that we would seek that repose. Il
we had n message of love and hope and

first to tell it. If we had warning OF

Increase the Marsha,'S Salary.

In obtaining a charter for the
town of St. Francisville, some four
years ago, the argument was made
that incorporation would secure
better government for the town.
better streets and OTHER improve.
| ments. The promoters of the scheme
Tor incorporation gave tacit
pledges fox the fullfillment of the
above named objects, and re-
viewing the past, it would take
some llarlihood for even an enemy
to the towns incorporation to claim
that there has been failure to III.
deem those pledges. Our streets
have been better kept than before,
and with less expense to the indi.
vidual. The task Of putting down
brick walks has been fairly begun.
Many excellent laws have been
passed, looking to the keeping
Of law, order and to the bettermcnt
of local conditions.
Concerning the enforcement of
law however there have been many
criticisms made, rejecting not so
much upon any person in particu-
lar, but merely in general way,
tho charge being made that the
pledge of keeping perfect order
has not been fulfilled. 10 some
extent, the Charge is true, and the
consensus Of public opinion at
tributes the cause to the fact that
the marshal is not paid sufficiently
we'll to justify him to devote the
time to snch duty as the needs of
The town demand,
The remedy woAld seem to be-
such is tho drift of public sentiment
that the salary of the marshal
should be increased to an amount
that would enable u man to ill that
Office and devote hisontire time to it.
lnview Of tue mcagre finances of the
town, though a desirable step it is
one, that must ce carefully con.
si,'ered. Perhaps !he best plan
would he to combine the Offices of
marshal and tax.collector, and put
the salary at such figure that a
man may afford to accept the Office
and give it his entire attention.
Moreover, let the marshal ie a
man in entire sympathyand accord
with the mayor aud councilman,
particularly the former, and the
watchwords of law, order, progress,
which VIC take 1t should lie the
motto of St. Flancisville and it's
people, will he not merely an inspi
ration for exertion but be an &C.
complished tact.
