"The Parish Printing."
The police Jury at its last session t
elected the proprietor of the SENTINEL 1
the parish printer for the ensuing a
year. In doing so it acted strictly l
within the law which provides that it!
"shall be their (Police Juries') duty )
to elect a parish printer for their res 1
pective parishes, who shall be the
owner or representative of some es
tabltshed newspaper, published in the c
parish, which has been in existence c
for a period of one year next preced- a
ing the election. The person sot
selected shall designate a newspaper s
publithed in the parish, which paper
shall be known as the official journal r
of the parish, and shall publish in i
such newspaper all th" official pro I
eeedhgp of the poli ajury and all e
such notices as may be required by t
law to be publi-hed by the police 1
jury." a
The law further fixes the compen. a
sation of the publi- ilinter, and e - (
fera upon him the right to demand
the compensation so fixed.
The law is plain; it makes it the 3
duty of the police juries to elect a I
parish printer,- ,it shall be their a
duty to elect a parish Irinter, etc."
not to parcel out the parish printing t
among two or more persons. e
Under the plain letter of the law, a
the police jury should not and ought a
not to elect two parish printers, any a
more than it could elect two parnsh
treasurers. The office of parish pront
er is created by law, and his election c
also regulated by law, just as that of I
the parish treasurer, and the police f
juries are governed by the law in
tilling those two offices, which are not a
of their creation. In selecting fiscal t
agencies the police juries have greater q
freedom of action, and may select c
two agents if they so choose, the a
chatter addressing Itself to their c
sound discretion. I
Such being the law of the case, •
and the police jury of lafourche hay. a
ing acted strictly within and accord
ing to law, we think our esteemed I
neighbor, the Lafourche Comet, does .
the jury a serious injustice in taking 1
it to task for Its action in the matter I
of the election of a parish printer. I
We hardly think the members of the I
jury will feel like thanking the Comet
for trying to excuse them by plead-.
nlug for them the baby act. It relieves i
them of any responsibility in theI
premiet .Leuse, says t Comet, in I
ri-,'eý y dk'noMt knobt -~ .b4
were doing.
"The members of the jury in the
caucus treated us unjustly, we believe
unintentionally. They did so because
they had not time to reflect over the
situation."
Indeed i did the critic of the Police
Jury really intend this left handed
compliment ? These gentlemen do
not deserve such treatment. They
are intelligent men and honest public
servants, and they knew what they
were doing; they were discharging
according to law a duty imposed up.
on them by law.
But what is this great injustice the
Comet complains of ? Simply that
the Police Jury did not again this
year divide the parish printing be.
tween the Comet and the SENTINEL as
it did last year. We have quoted
the law governing the case; the jury
acted strictly within and according to
law in the premises; that ought to be
sufficient answer to the accusation
brought against the jury.
The Comnet thinks, however, that
last year's arrangement should have
been kept up as a reward for what it
has done for the Democratic party in
the past, and conveys a threat of
what it might do in the future against
that party or some of its members, in
case the police jury does not recon.
sider its action and again admit the
Comet to a share of the public print
ing.
We regret that the Comet has made
this statement, because we had been
pleased all these years to look upon
its democracy as genuine and disln.
terested, and not only pmrse deep.
We would fain believe that the Comet
has doe itself as justice by its
hasty utterance, just as a child setiag
in a pet says and does things which
be does not mean and afterwards
regrets.
SBut this is not a question of re
wards; and if it were, has not the
C~onset enjoyed the town printing for
years ? has it not been the sole parish
Sprinter at one time some years ago ?
And all of this during thirteen years
of extstence.
The Comet havmg brought ts dew
ocracy into the discussion of the pub.
lie printing, the SENTINEL may not be
tasked with vainglory for adverting
3 to the fact that it has been a Demo
cratic paper since its foundation over
thirty.six years ago, some years be.
fore its present proprietor was born,
and during that long period of time
its various owners and editors have
all been staunch Democrats. Indeed,
the SarrtnaL fought the battles of
the democraty in thus parish, when it
meant almost financial ruin to do so,
and it is justly proud of the record it
has made iu that line.
The present proprietor of the SEN.
TINEL is also proud of th.t record,
and intends to continue to "hew to
the line," the same as in the past,
"let the chips fall where they may." L.
The proprietor of the SENTINEL eti
highly appreciates and will continue pl
to appreciate the favors shown him in
hy Democrats and the police jury,
and the 9ENTINEL will Continue to wi
labor for the general welfare. HI
