The several showers of rain we
have had during the week have
brought out the beauties CD Of
our sidewalks (!D to q degree
that is truly edifying to the aver
age citizen-and yet in lieu Of
sidewalks the present Board of
Aldermen has money to fritter
away in law suits against the ex-
pressed will of the people; in su-
perfuous printing; and i'll other
lavish expenditure Of the towns
money. The citizens Of this town
should 'smake a note" of some OF
the antics of the members of the

this state of affairs, and if ever

Washington, ID. G., News.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March "a, 1902

On friday the Senate passed
the bill for the protection of the
President by a vote of 50 to Is,
with 81 senator's not voting.
Last Monday the Senate passed
the Ship Subsidy bill, although
six prominent Republicans voted
against tie measure. On the same
day the House Committee on Rules
voted tcrreport to the House the
CrumL Scker resolution providing
for thtfappointment of q commit
tee to investigate the question of
Congressional representation as
comp.fred with the number of
rvotefrs. On Friday the House
passed the River and Harbor bill,
carrying an appropriation Of $780,
688,267. On Friday the Senate
passed the War Revenue Repeal
bill, amending the bill as passed
by the House only to the extent
of leaving the tax on "bucket
shops" Saturday there was no
session of the Senate and the
House devoted its attention to the
private calendar.
The promoters of the Crum-
packer movement do not deny
that their intention is to curtail
the congressional representation
of certain Southern States, and
if they attempt any definite move
in that direction, they will be
strenuously resisted by the Demo
Gratis. Representative Richard
son, the Democratic leader, as
sures me that the Democrats will
avail themselves of every parlia-
mentary tactic to prevent so grave
an injustice, and every Democrat
in Congress will stand by him
Whatever may be the result, in SO
far lis the Republicans are con.
cerned, the attempt gives every
promise of uniting the Demo
cratic party, and it is freely pre-.
Gicted that the Northern Repub'
licans will repudiate the attempt
on the part Of their representa-
tives, to take u step which must
result in intense sectional animos
ity. 1t is we'll known that the
former President disapproved OF
this movement, and the leaders
of the House shared his disappro
val, but were forced to give thei
consent with a view of overshad
owing the constantly growing sen
timent in Congress, and all owe
the country, in favor Of tariff re
vision. "
The much vaunted harmon.
emanating from the ratification
of the Ways and Means policy il
regard to Cuba at the conference
of the Republican members helt
on last Tuesday evening is no
materializing to the satisfaction
of the Republican leaders. TIL
: Michigan delegation have resolve'
to contest the policy on the foo
of the House. The Massachu
setts Republicans are preparin
to make an onslaught on the com
mittee's hides, and General Woo
has come to Washington to pre-
r test to the President that the pro
posed reduction of 20 per cent
of the Dingley tariff rates o
, Cuban imports will accomplis
, nothing. The President still look
to the Senate to, so amend tn
; measure as to make it practlca
and the Representatives are col
stantly threatening to revolt III
t less they are given solemn pledge
that the Senate will not chang
g any bill they may pass, in an
particular.

"PoIl tax collections can be en-
forced now as we'll rs ever they
could on property holders. Those
who do not own property never
could be depended on to pay the
tax so far as enforced collections
we're concerned. Those who can
pay the tax and did not pay it
within the time prescribed by law,

deserve sympathy to the extent
as to cause the repeal Of the law.

Give Us Brick Curbing.

If the present Board of Alder
men had apportioned the $4,000
on hand to put down substantial
brick curbing on the principal
street Of town, where there are no
sidewalks worthy the name, and
allowed q fair proportion to build
plank walks on The outskirts con-
Meeting with the business centre,
we don't think there would have
been any serious objection to the
plan. BY placing brick curbing,
Il uniform width and height would
be secured, and few property own
ers would have failed to put down
a durable walk-either concrete,
cement, brick, shells, pounded
brick gravel or understand those
who would be SO far lacking in
public spirit as to fail to fill in
their walks with suitable material,
after q reasonable time, might be
forced to do so, or the town could
have it done at their expense.
Where plank walks would be put
down the abutting property own
ers should be made to pay share
of the expense also, especially as
the amount available would not
build one-tenth the sidewalks act
ually needed, and therefore should
be put where it will do the most
good. and where the property
owners directly benefited would
have correct appreciation of the
advantages of such improvement.

Well, to the best ofoour recol-
lection, which dates back in the
history of this town some 35 years,
we have never known a Board in
the town of Opelousas to make a
bigger damphool of itself than
this one has on the sidewalk mat
ter within the last month-but
maybe that's the kind Of "prog-
ress'' and "go-ahead fellows"
that the Clarion apprenticeship
the tax payer, who pays the
freight. may not see it in the same
light.
A new Board will be elected
next month; why should this
Board try to do all the damage it
can before going out Of Office
why don't they give the new Board
a chance to do something without
getting the town affairs in a tan
gle, just for the fun of the thing,
as it were.
If that's the kind of model
Board that the Clarion approves
of, then we say, deliver us from
any more Of them-give us some
thing more "antique" fora change

REV. IRWIN TO COME
AS CALL is MADE.
Accept the Passionate This
Church.
EARLY RESPONSE is EXPECTED
Formal Invitation Is Extended Rev. y.
Logan Irwin of Vanceburg KY. to the
Passionate of the Presbyterian
Church of Americus.

The Americas Presbyterian. church
may soon have pastor in Rev. j. Lo-
gan Irwin, of Vanceburg, Ky. to whom
formal invitation has been extended,
and the hope is very generally express
ed that this eloquent divine will accept
the call here.
A reply from him is expected very
soon-perhaps this week.
Mr.. Irwin spent two weeks in Ameri-
Gus quite recently, filling the pulpit of
the Presbyterian church during that
time. He is very eloquent and echol-
arly young minister and made an excel
lent impression here.
The Americas church has been with
out pastor for several months, the
former pastor, Rev. Leroy G. Hender-
son, having resigned this pastorate to
accept call to the Griffin church, and
there Is a very general desire that the
vacancy be filed at an early date
Mr.. Irwin made many friends during
his short but pleasant visit here, and 1t
is the general wish that he may accept
the call extended.
