Ma!a-ion MiEh Malarion Table.s
Retrenchment and Reform.

The Police jury have performed a
capital operation in financial surgery.
The parish is in desperate financial
straits aud we'll nigh bankrupt. Most
of the Indebtedness grows out Of the
criminal expenses of the parish and
with a view to remedying the matter
they have decapitated the justices Of
the peace and c%onstables just back of
the ears. Awaiting themselves of the
power granted by the new Constitu-
tion they abolished all fees and put
themson a fixed salary of 500 a year
for the town ward and S50forthe coun-
try wards. OF course these officials do
not take kindly 10 the measure, as it
allows them a ridieulously slim margin,
but if they take the p%recaution to do
no more work than they are paid for
the criminal business of the parish will
be slim and that is what the Police
Jury would like to see.
While there is no question that the
parish is ia hard luck and struggling
manfully TO pull ont Of the hole, there
is a certain element OF equity in the
case and the decapitatea officials have
decidedly got the short end Of it. The
question is whether they should be
made to bear the brant OF the reJreneh-
ment, and suddenly deprived not Of
their offices but of the emoluments
thereof. Let the wave of reform sweep
onward until every possible evil and
abuse shall be corrected.
MaIar;on is devoid Of bitter taste.

While the justices Of the peace and
e~onstables tn this parish are kicking
because the Police Jury has liked their
salaries at $50 per annum fef the coun-
Try wards and 300 for each Of these
offices in the Bird ward, they should feel
thankful that they do not live in the
parish Of Lafayette where the salaries
have been fixed at $50 a year through
out the parish.
The contract for repairing the court
house has been let to parties from New
Iberia. We think home mechanics
should be able to successfully compete
with outsiders for al work Of this kind
and they certainly stand in their own
light when they allow a contract to go
away from home, to say nothing Of the
loss Of the job, it holsters up the idea
that the other fellow is a better work
man.

Island, La, formerly under royalty
lease to the New Iberia Salt Company,
and more recently to Myles & Co., Of
New Orleans. La, will come into pos
session of its owners on July lst, 1898,
On and after which date they propose
to work it for their own account. The
salt which for some years past has been
marketed by Myles d Co, of New Or
leans, was the sole product of the Az
cry Salt Mine, and can not be equaled
Tor purity, strength, dryness and cur
lag properties by any other salt pro-
