There seems to be no reason for

hope to day to successfully hold

mistake.
Now, who was at fault? Coult

Whoever handled this transac

of 944 as unpaid.
In Mr.. Dupuy's concluding par;

. a most derogatory and damaging
statement, which charge, In thu
light of the facts. is thoroughly
unwarranted and will be Difficult
to maintain.
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1905-08-05

As a matter of fact it was gen
orally known that there were sew
erHl names Of auditors before the
council committee when Mr. Ben
venue was selected This gentle
mans recommendations were III

he was appointed audi "' 10y III"

Dupuy SO far from the record
IN his present delima two horns
are presented to him: One, that
he wrote while ignorant of he
authority he cited; the other, that
he fully knew the value Of ne
resolution Of the Council, but
trusted that others had forgot
Mr.. Dupuy further says, In my
opinion this man Bicnvenur, was
employed for the specific purpose
of mud singing "
This Is extravagant and does
Mr.. Dupny discredit
Now, one more point. MI
Bienvenue was asked for an out
line of IA safe method of account
inc in certain lines and depart
ments where the records were in
complete and unsatisfactory. In
making the several suggestions
that he did along these lines, ne
transcended no bond of prOpriety.
His recommendations are III the
hands of the Council to accept or
reject as appears wisest to them.
There could not possibly be cause
for complaint along this line to an
unbiased citizen. The Admins
tration simply wants better
records, clearer records, with less
liability TO error.

FULLY AUTHORIZED.

In Mr.. Dupuy's letter of July
80, the following statement is
made:
"Immediately upon assuming
charge Of the city of New Iberia,
tho Mayor appointed n finance
committee and this committee was
instructed to proceed at onca to
wards the making Of financial
report. Instead of doing this
work which devOlved upon them,
they without authority or resolu-
ton from the City Council EN-
plOyed Mr.. Emile Bienvenue, an
expert accountant of New Orleans
at salary of fifteen dollars per
dav., \
"A financial statement means,
simply report of the assets and
liabilities Of any institution under
examination y"
The article from which the
above quotations are made shows
the writer to be careless in his
handling Of the facts involved,
extravagant in the volcing of his
unfounded and unsubstantiated
opinions, and ignorant of the au-
thority he cites To substantiate
these charges, the attention of the
reader is directed to the ordinance
which was passed at tho first
meeting Of the Laughlin Council,
the minutes of which session were
published in the Enterprise under
date of June II.
In the minutes Of the City Coun
Gil. of June ~, 1905, is the follow
ing record:
"By motion of .. Renoudet,
seconded by l.. Indest, and car
ried, the Mayor was authorized to
appoint an auditing committee of
three members, with instructions
to have audited all the books,
papers and business affairs of the
city,
Mr. Dupuy says: I" y the Mayor
appointed a finance committee,
The Minutes say: "By motion,
etc, the Mayor was authorized to
appoint an auditing committee Of
three members, y"
Mr.. Dupuy.-"And this commit
tee was instructed to proceed at
once towards the making Of Fl
nancial report"
Council Minutes" with
instructions to have audited all
the books, papers and business
affairs Of the City"
Mr. Dupuy.-"Instead of doing
this work which devolved upon
them. they without authority OF
resolution from the City Council
employed Mr.. Emile Bienvenue
etc"
Council Minutes.-"By motion,
seconded and carried, the
Mayor was authorized to appoint
an auditing committee" which
committee was instructed "o har,
audited, etc"
las Mr.. Dupuy adhered to 4
single fact in these statements
in letter or in spirit Intentional
~, or Inadvertently, his state
ments of the Councils acts repre-
sents the things he should to have
! had done.

THAT AUDITORS REPORT.

After All exhaustive ''auditing'
of the financial affairs of the City
of New Iberia, paying therefor an
exorbitant per diem and mileage:
it is now found that the report is
unreliable and untrustwOrthy, as
it contains a gross error of $751; 90,
or more.
This amount appears in the
report as due the Peoples Nat
iOnal Bank. A letter published
else here, signed by Mr.. E. E..
Delhommer, cashier. states the
amount was paid last March, con
sequently should not have been
paraded as unpaid, to the detri
ment Of those who handled the
money and to the discredit Of the
previous administration. With
such glaring and almost criminal
errors and misstatements, the
"auditor's report is a very un
Trustworthy document for If errors
occur in one item of over $500, it
is reasonable to suppose there are
other errors equally as glaring
and untrue and brands the inst,'u-
ment as doctored stotment for the
purpose Of discre,liting and perse-
cutting political opponents, a result
which we feared. and to which
we referred in our last issue.

The above was the leading edi
tOrial of the New Iberia Enter.
prise of last Saturday. The ital
les are ours
The sober minded taxpayer will
ask himself at Once-Why should
the present administration wish to
doctor statements tor tie purpose OF
discreRiting and persecutimg politi-
ticai opponents, when these pOliti
cal opponents have long since
been defeated and retlreds
Did the city administrators do
the auditing, or farme the repOrti
The affirmative can hardly be
maintained. The Auditor, in all
probability, understood the line Of
work devOlving upon an expert
accountant, and knew, without a
suggestion, that a report was
wanted, full and complete in its
every import ant detail, showing
clearly and cOncisely how the
peoples affairs had been handled
during the past administration.
THIS, the people had a right to
know and should know. II the
Auditor, in the course of his
checking, should find single
questionable entry and should
fail to make note of it, he would
be recreant to his trust. If, on
the other hand, finding entries
that he could not understand, and
which bore evidence of error, it
became clearly his duty to call
the party in interest to a confer
ence, lay the facts before him and
ask for an explanation. To use
the fact of such an entry or rec
ord, without first con 'uiting the
party who made it, would be IN
fair and possibly prejudicial tt

Did Mr. Bienvenu conceal any
of bis findings' 1t is recited in ,hit
statement that he called the pal
ties affected to q conference upOI
the very points he deals with
and we have not seen q denial Of
the statement OF that fact.

Indian Novels by Indian Writers.
or late years the number Of writer's
among the Cherokees has greatly in
creased. There are historians In the
tribe whose works are used as text
books in the Indian schools, and who are
cited as authorities not to be disputed.
There are also Indians who have writ
ten codes of law which before being
nut in permanent form had been hand
ed down from generation to genera
ton. The Indians to-day obey these
laws with a greater reverence than
they do the laws of the United States.
There are Indian novelists- -novelists
who devote their time to entertaining
the Indian mind with romance with en-
tangled plots and blood-curdling eli
makes. These books are popular among
the Indians. Edition after edition Of
some works is published, and they are
read by buck and squaw alike.-Kansas
City Journal.

Manufacture Of chartreuse.

One of the few items of foreign trade
of this district in which change is shown
is alcohol. which is being imported now
by the Carthusian monks, lately emf
grated from France, who have trans
ferred the manufacture of their re-
nowned chartreuse to this city. They
continue to receive spirits for its manu-
facture from the distilleries which they
owned and are suspected of owning still
in other countries. tits doubtful whether
they will find it economical to continue
under their present management owing
to the custom house duties which they
tried to avoid by pleading the re-
expectation of alcohol after 1t is blended
in their liquor. Drawbacks are un-
known in this, the country of their
adoption, and the claims we're not al
lowed.
