There is a startling suggestion
that Dr. Sanders, (whose efficient
work last summer reflected so much
credit upon him as physician, and
also a gentleman) with first-class
executive ability in emergencies, is
about to resign, we are "facing an
other season with unknown perils. F"
One who has had last years expe-
rlence and who has been found eff
cient, should be in charge, not at
the sacrifice of his own practice, Of
financial prosperity, but with a liv-
ing salary. Is there not enough of
glorious humanitarianism among
our good doctors to join together
in forming a Board of Health in
which all the people can have per-
feet confidence, laying aside petty
jealousies and nonsense generally,
aud for the sake of their fellow men
and women, and especially the lit
tie children, work tremendously
for the public veal. Let them Sc
lect their officers and decide their
course. Fortunately for us most
OF our doctors are men of rare pu-
rity ano integrity, or character as
we'll Is unusual skill. We can defy
Yellow Jack or anything else if
our splendid corps of physicians
will join hands and work together,
forgetting everything but the pub
lie good. In the name of God aud
humanity can it not be donei

CHRISTMAS GREETING.

Again has the joyous season OF
"Peace Oh Earth and good will to men
come to US. A retrospect will bring
to mind many things that should
make the occasion joyful and serene.
We have been blessed with good health
and reasonable amount of prosperity.
We have not wanted for anything
necessary to everyday needs. Our
country is at peace with the world
and taking the lead in all that makes
Christianity and the principles that
were evolved by our Lord. Ninteen
centuries of the gospel has spread the
world the belted earth around and our
own loved nation has had a large
share in the diffusion of the principles
of peace and love to our fellow man +,
and our influence has been growing
greater and wider, until the whole
world listens to the music as sung by
our own free America 1t takes no
great stretch of the imagination to
see our Nation, the greaS herald OF the
Gospel to the world that under the
providence of God, we shall evangel-
ize the world which now turns its
eyes to us as the home of the down
trodden and opposed, where every one
may rest, where each may worship
God, according to the dictates of his
own conscience with none to modest or
make afraid To our patrons and
friends, we extend a most cordial
greeting and wish for them a contin-
uance of joys and prosperity that
shall ever attend them.

THE NEW IBERIA SOUTHERN
DRAINAGE CANAL.

We are pleased to see Mr.. T. W.
Thomas of Fort Dodge, Iowa, here
and who has taken charge of the New
Iberia Southern Drainage Canal, for
which three mill tax is being paid
having been voted by the people of
this City more than year ago. Mr..
Thomas assures us the work will now
be prosecuted with vigor, as all OBJ
stacles have been removed, the finan-
cial end of the matter has been ar
ranged by the sale of bonds at fair
figure, giving ample funds for opera
ton. Dredges are at work at the
south end of the canal and have al
ready excavated about two miles. Mr..
Thomas will reside here while carry
ing out his contract, having sent for
Mrs. Thomas to pass the winter with
him. We feel assured the work will
now go on with dispatch. A canal
from the City limits to the Gulf will
be a great developer of trade and COM
merce as its dimensions will allow
the entrance and departure of good
sized vessels drawing seven feet min
imum. It is not beyond reascn to
say that this canal may be eventually
widenei and doepeDed by some of the
great railroad lines contemplating an
entrance here and al outlet to deep
water and with such vast possibili-
ties would obtain for New Iberia,
we should become a port Of entry
with imports and exports and the
numerous local interests that this
canal will develop. The outlook is
good and we can congratulate our read
ers on the prospect.

THE ASSESSMENT.

"The Parish Assessors Of the as
sessment district created by Gov
ernor Blanchard in North Louis
lana, met at Monroe on the 18th
instant and they adopted resolu-
ton requesting him to call State
Convention of the Assessors to
meet early in January at Baton
Rouge. 1t is good idea, especial
ly if the proceedings are to be with
open doors.
The purpose of the proposed con-
vention, it is claimed, is to raise
the too low valuations of property
which gives a false idea abroad of
the property values, and by this
means arrive at the equalization of
assessments and eventual reduction
of the rates of taxation. The work
ings of the secret district confer
ences devised for this year resulted
in an aggregate increase of about
81, 5OO,OSO in this years taxation
and in wider inequalities. Lots of
room for improvement" 1.-THE Peo-
pie.
Yes indeed!l Iberia's assessment
was increased about thirty per cent.
for 1905, and the burden of taxation
is being felt by all. It would be the
proper thing to do, to reduce the rate
as soon as the Assessors in convention
assembled shall have equalized and
brought to proper basis, the property
values of the State. Our Parish Rep
resentatives, as also those of the Sena-
torial district should endeavor at the
next session of the Legislature to re-
duce the rate of the taxation, COM
mensurate with the needs of the State
and to lop off the thousand and one
sinecures, that simply absorb the
taxes Not dollar of the peoples
money should be paid out but for
services actually rendered and abso-
lutely necessary for the public good.

A ROTHSCHlLD FUNERAL.

Vance Thompson, in ErerybOdy' S
Magazine For November, describes
in "The Rothschilds of France the
pageantry of Baron Arthur Roths-
child's funeral.
1.-The Baron Arthur says Mr..
Thompson, was a weakling; he was
unregarded in his lifetime; the news
papers said he died by his own hand :;
but his funeral served to illustrate
the family magnificence and social
power. All traffic was stopped in the
main thoroughfares of the city through
which the procession passed. For
beat. Business ceased. Trains and
buses were arrested Hour after
hour the long funeral crept through
the boulevards while Paris looked
on in wonder. The same Paris had
seen the old poet, Victor Hugo, borne
to his grave in a pauper's cart. The
dead baron went with medieval pomp,
though he was but nephew of the
house, Came first three coaches with
the rabbius. Then the hearse, with
great plumes drawn by eight horses in
sable cloths Then the house servants;
buffers in white silk stockings; ushers
in gilt chains and livery; Wallets,
coachmen, footmen, stable lads,
buglers, masters of hounds and horses
in pink; guards and beaters of the
preserves, and conspicuous, the hunts
men, leading in leash the baron's
favorite hounds the hounds
leaped in leash and bayed; followed,
too, his farmers and the peasants of
his fields; and with all went the
family, and, in mile Of carriages,
the aristocracy of France paid hon.
age; with such pomp the baron was
taken to his grave; and the earth was
laid upon him and he slept.
''Such anecdotes are really docu.
ments of the social life of the epoch.
"The Rothschild foresight has not
neglected the political and economic
changes that may take place in France.
1t is noteworthy that the extremely
revolutionary newspapers, the social
istic journals especially, are owned or
supported by the Rothschilds and
their financial associates, interna-
tional finance has made friends with
international revolution. Better
than any other money mighty family
the Rothschilds have known how to
conciliate the proletariat and this
is fact of immense political sign
ficance The old baron died MAY 26;
the next day all Paris talked of the
Rothichilds; and the men in the
blouses, without exception, said:
They are too rich-yes; but then
they are friends of the people, -
