with instructions to hold until Mr.
McIlhenny could return to the
city to care for it. That case was
hopeless
The Mcllhenny bill was not with
the other House Committee pa
pers 1t was reported that 1t
might be found in the desk of TIL,
Chairman Of Committee. Mr.. Du
puy caught the Chairman of the
Committee just as a train was
pulling out. The key to the desk
was thrown from the car window,
the desk was opened and the miss.
ing charter was found under a lot
of papers
1t was rushed to the desk and
put on it's tlnd reading. 1t is
said that Mr. Dcroucn seemed
surprised when Clerk Landry read
the title of the bill
Then Mr.. Dupuy began to do
energetic lobbying for the Nell
benny bill. All day yesterday he
was on the floor of the House talk
ing to the members. This aroused
MIR. DtrOuen's ire, as he wanted
the DerOuen bill and not the Nc
llhenny bill passed. He called the
attention of the Speaker to rule
20, which forbids persons not mem
berS of the House to be Oh the
floor during the session. He was
about to ask that the Mayor of his
home town be escorted to the door,
when the Mayor appreciated the
situation and beat a hasty retreat
THIS morning the bill was pass
ed, but the strained relations be
tween the three gentlemen named
do not seem to have improved.

doctrines? We reprint the article
III this issue, that you may digest

Section 90. BE it further enact

Board determining to build or con
struct sidewalks, or to pave, ma
cadamize or improve any streets or
alleys, or to construct and put in
operation a system Of sewerage
for said city or any portion thereof
by levying a special assessment or
contribution of the entire costs as
regards sidewalks and of two
thirds of the cost thereof as re-
CARDS the latter upon the AUDITING
owners, it shall adopt an ordinance
defining the street. streets, or al
leys to be paved, macadamized or
otherwise improved, or the portion
of the city to be severed and the
method thereof, prescribe the time
within which the same is to be
commenced, providing at the same

only limited by expediency, and |
see no difficulty in its annexlng
the whole parish, if it found it to
its interest to do so. called the
of several members of the
police jury to this and asked them
to test the question on the ground
of constitutlonality, by enjoinlng
the corporation from the collection
of the taxes and claiming it for
the parish, but they did nothing
and the taxpayers, rather than go
to the expense and trouble OF q
law suit III their own behalf, paid
the taxes to the corporation.
The police jury not only lost the
revenue to which they were Ell
titled, but established a precedent
by which they can be deprived OF az
much territory as the corporation
may wish to acquire.
The new town charter, also,
gives the council unlimited pow
ers over streets, sidewalks-anh
intact everything they wish to DO
to establish as many officers as
they may see fit and to fix Their
salaries also, to pay the Mayor
$500 per annum, whereas former
ly the Mayor got no salary, until
Mayor Fisher was given 500
The present Council IS giving
the present Mayor double that
amount, or 5000, and there is no.
thing to prevent them from giving
him $500, which | predict they
will do, if he is elected, unless tho
taxpayers and voters make then

The former, or Pregressives, IN
order to enable them to do pretty
much as they please, sent their
active young Mayor to Baton
Rouge, during the last session OF
Legislature, to have that body en-
act into law a new charter for New
iberia. This he did. THE new
charter gives to the mayor and
council autocratic powers to 90
ANYTHING they liked, without con
shifting the taxpayers, the voters
or any person.
Under this new charter they
have annexed a considerable terri
torv to the corporation without
consulting the taxpayers or the
voters--although it was known
that they we're opposed to it; took
nossession of the public roads ano
sidewalks, and put the citizens
and taxpayers to unnecessary ex
pense without consulting them o.
even notifying them.
This, I claim, is a great outrage
A mower which l am confident tn
Legislature had no right to give
much less to delegate it to a cor
poration. If a corporation can b.
given the right to annex terrltor!
without the consent of the taxpay

such powers. they could exercis
the authority to any extent. 1t

NEW IBERIA CHARTER.
Causes Il Lively Contest BE"
tween TecIle Legislators.

Staff Special to the Plcavune.
Baton Rouge, La, June Is
1904. This is the story of the
amendment to the city charter OF
the town of New Iberia. Connect
ed with the story are Senator Nc
Illhenny, Representative Derouen
and Mayor Dupuy, Of that town.
The tale Of why the amendment
to the charter as requested by the
Mayor was not made early in the
session is question which only
Mr.. Dupuy seems inclined to dis
cusS.
The Mayor of the town came to
Baton Rouge with two copies OF
the amendment which he desired
to be inserted in the charter. lie
was good fellow, and, after
spending a week mixing with the
legislators and telling them how
progressive his town was and how
they wished to be allowed to levy
a tax for numerous public i'm.
provemeDt, he turned one copy OF
the bill over to Senator Mcllhenny
and the other to Representative
Derouen, with the instructions 10
railroad them through as soon as
possible. Then he left for home.
Both bills were introduced in the
two houses on the same day.
Their Legislative career was bright
for few days. Both bills easily
PASSED the houses in which they
had been introduced and were sent
across the lobby.
Then both bills mysterlously dis
appeared. For three long weeks
the people of New Iberia waltee
to hear something. Not a wore
came.
The Derouen bill was in TIT
Senate Committee, and the Nell
benny bill was in the House Com
mlttee. 1t began to be rumore'
that there was just a trifle o
jealousy between Derouen an
McIlhenny as to who shall hav
the honor of passing the bill first
Nobody knew why the bill did no
come from the com mittees.
Finally Mayor Dupuy cam
back, after three long weeks,to nm
out what had happened to his bills
Somebody told him, that tn
House had reported favorably o
the N(cIlhenny bill, but that
had disappeared. He assume
the role of detective and anxiou
queries as to the whereabouts 9
the bill were put:

remember two things. First of all
subscribe to the Capital. You will
not enjoy your summer outing if you
fail to keep in touch with your home
aud friends through your home paper.
Secondly, boom your town. Civil pride
has a great deal TO do with making a
town grow aud prosper. 1t the people
or town are proud of their town and
it's institutions, it speaks more praise
than can come from any other source
or act. When you so away for your
