A grand Democratic ratification
meeting will be held next Monday

All democrats of the first ward

One result of the Kansas City
convention will be to convince the
entire country that W. j. Bryan
is absolutely honest. The man
who could stand ready to fatly re-
fuse the nomination offered to him
by a unanimous gathering like
that, unless platform was adopt
ed at the same time affirming a
given principle, can never again
be accused of being willing to sac
rifice principle to expediency.

Now that the session of the leg
islature has closed, and the execu-
tive ability of Gov. Heard has
been tested. we are constrained to
say that he has disappointed the
wishes Of his opponents and justi-
fed the prophecies of his friends
and supporters. He has proven
himself. to be the man at the helm
guiding the ship of state safely.
We have noticed but two vetoes,
his reasons for which were at once
accepted and sustainedby the Sen
ate. We specially commend his
veto of the bill relative to state
banks because the provisions of
the bill tended to weaken the Sc
curity of depositors and stock
holders is such institutions and
thus increase the patronage and
business of National banks. Gov.
Heard wisely wishes to uphold and
strengthen these state institutions
and to increase the confidence and
sense of security which our people
have in them. Gov. Heard not
only has clear head and firm will
but he is a man of the people,
watchful of thes interests, and
deserving of their full confidence.

The Police Jury.

A few weeks ago. discussing
matters connected with the School
Board and with the management
of our parochial affairs in general,
we observed that it was ''time for
somebody to wake up
Recent developments have en-
phasized the necessity for a gen.
al waking up all aleng the line
for our parochial rulers to awake
to realization of our true situa-
tion and to the far-reaching results
of their acts, and for our thinking
men, in and out Of Office, regard
less of political differences. to open
wide their eyes and take a hand in
the shaping of parochial legisla-
tion, as far as in their power lies.
Four years ago the parish debt
was acertained to be something
more than $4,000. For the past
four years, additional taxes to the
amount of probably more than
ten thousand dollars per annum
have been wrung from the people,
and yet the parish debt, as per re-
port submitted to the Police Jury
last week. is still more than $13,
600!
With such a showing, the least
thing the people had a right to ex-
pect was that economy and re-
trenchmeut would be practised
by our rulers whenever and wher-
ever the opportunity was offered.
Thus far, we say it more in sor-
row than in anger, the Police jury
has not risen to the height of the
occasion. Vide its treatment of
the parish treasurership, when a
responsible gentleman offered to
perform the duties of that Office
for half the price usually paid,
and its reelection to the Office of
parish printer of man who was
forced to publicly confess that for
the last four or five years he had
been heavily oyercharging the par
ish for all of its printing.
Such actions, we are sorry to
say, are not indicative of proper
conception of public duty on the
part of our rulers; on the contrary
they betray an inordinate degree
of rank partisanship and q reck-
less disregard of public opinion
which bode incalculable evils to
our party, to the body polite and
to society. We feryently
hope that they may be made to
see the error of their ways by
means of more wholesome light
from the outside than has been
thrown upon them up to this time.
IL our people remain supine
they will continue to be misgoy-
erned.
A free people usually gets just
the kind Of government that it
deserves.

Speaking of the law requiring
justices of the peace to pass an
examination before being COM
missioned, the Avoyefles Blade
APPLY remarks
In this connection we desire to
say that the law is Il COED one,
but it should be so amended as to
operate before instead of after
the election. In ether words the
law should provide that in order
to become candidate the person
should be qualified as demanded
by the present law. To enforce
the law after an election is a plain
injustice in some cases, and it is
requiring a committee to undo
that which has been done by the
people themselves. 1t is cen-
plication that should not exist,
and slight amendment of the
present law will cure it of it's de-
fects. In other particulars 1T Is a
gesd law and will work great
good when better understood and
rigidly enforced.
