THE PARISH TAXES.

We have received our tax notice
from the Tax Collector for this year
taxes and notice that he intends to tr,
and collect Parish tax from tn,
town Of Franklin. While under GU,
charter he may technically have tina
right, but there has always been. and
is now, an agreement between the
Police Jury and the town of franklin
that if the town would pay its Grim
lnal expenses, that it would be ex
empt from Parish tax. The town
OF Franklin has paid every criminal
expense bilI-that was just and
right--that has been presented to its
Council, and if there are criminal
expenses that should have been paid,
it Was no fault of any Council, but
because they were neglected and not
presented to the Council by the
proper officers. While secretary of
the Council for the term of two years.
every bill presented for criminal ex-
penses to the Council was paid, and
the records will bear us out in this
statement. We would call the at
tention Of the Police Jury to their
contract with the town Of Frank
lin, and ask them the question
it they have instructed the Tax Col
lector to collect Parish tax from
the town of Franklin? If so, when
did the Police Jury annul their
contract with the town of Franklin?
We have seen no record of it in the
proceedings Of that body.
The town Of Morgan City under its
charter is not compelled topay Par
ish tax, Act 90, 1878, page IA states
that all municipalities shall pay all
criminal expenses originating within
their limits and their pro rata Of
other parish expenses, if the Police
Jury SO deems it necessary. The
town of franklin is willing TO pay
its criminal expenses, If allowed 10
bc exempt from Parish tax, but
our present Tax Collector seems to
think that lie has right 10 collect
the tax regardless OF any contract
now 10 force between the town of
Franklin and the Police Jury We
don't believe he can collect the tax
as long as tile towns agreement with
the Police Jury is in force, and
the majority Of the taxpayers Of the
town intend to not pay this tax and
contest the legality OF the collection
in the courts.
In justice to all parties in this
it Franklin has to pay this
tax it is no more than right that
other municipalities in the Parish
be compelled to do the same.
Tue town Of Franklin is now pay
ing the following taxes which is
enough for any town:

Minister COnger, cabltd about n week

suggested that better progress in the ne

removed from local influences.
Mr.. C0nger's idea met with favorable
consideration here, and the suggestion

taken up at Washington or at one Of the
other capitals.

Mr.. Conger confirmed recent press re-

here that the influence still welded by
the empress dowager may lead to serious
complications in case she seeks to bring
to Il halt the negotiations now pending.
The powers by stating their demands 20

ure" JACKSON League.
CHICAGO, Jan 9.-William ]. Bry-
an was the guest of honor AT the annual
banquet of the Andrew Jackson league,
which was held last night at the Sher-
man House. 1t had been planned by the
local Democrats that reception to Mr..
Bryan should be made part of the days
celebration, hut during the afternoon Il
telegram was received from him saying
that 1t would be impossible for him to
reach the city until late in the evening,
and the reception was therefore aban-
doned.
Mr.. Bryan was driven direct from the
depot to the banquet hall, where several
hundred Of the members of the league
and their friends awaiting his arrival
greeted him in enthusiastic fashion.
Mayor Harrison acted as t0aSlmaster,
and it was long after 10 O'Clock when he
raped for order and in neat speech in
tl"duced Mayor Rose of Milwaukee as
the first speaker of the evening. Mr.,
Rose responded to the sentiment Party

with much favor. Samuel AlschuIcr, tn"

WEDNESDAY,. JANUARY 9. 1901

The Republican organization Is in bet
ter shape than ever before in Delaware
and it is utter madness TO throw every
thing away over the senatorial fight and
thereby nullify everything the Republic
can votes did at the polls on November
9Th last. Governor John Hum is
more than disposed to recognize the lead
ing Republicans in this city and county
and has shown a spirit of fairness that
should be met with the same frunkncss
on the part of certain men in this city
and county. The governors idea is to
strengthen the Republican party and not
to tear it asunder He considers the sue
cess of the Republ can party more tnan
the qualification of any personal ambi-
tons. He will be governor to the whole
people, Democrats as well as the Repub-
licans. He gives everybody Il polite and
respectful hearing and investigates where
1t is possible and then acts as he thinks
best. Without a united party for Presi-
dental Electors and the Governor, Con-
gresham and state officers the Republ-
cans would not to-day he in control Of
both branches of the Legislature. Don't
throw away that which the people have
won.
