SHOTLl> HAVE KNOWN FET
TLE.
Last Wednesday morning Cant. J.
L. Aucoin, President of the board of
health of this parish, reeieved a letter
from Coroner Ayo informing him that
Mr. Jules Godchatix had violated the
quarantine regulations aud had sui-^
reptitiousiy cnteied t tie parish at
Racelaud, without the knowledge ot
the guards, and was at that time at
bis home ou Racelaud plantation. Dr.
Ayo further requested that the health
autboiities from this place should take
the matter tu hand and deal with Mr.
Godchaux. The news cieated much
suppressed excitement and gieat
iodiguatiou at the fact that oue of the
police jurors, who are supposed to be
the guardians of the public health m
this trying juncture, should set the
bad example ot violating one of the
ordinances adopted by the juty to
S&feguaid the palish. To make the
matter worse, u seems that Mr. God
chaax had le egrapliedsometime be;oi e
to iuquire if he could enter the paiish,
and had received answer by telegram
tha't he could not, unless he sojourned
ten days in some not them or western
nou-iufected place auu came directly
from such place witu proper health
certificates. This shows an utter oou
tempt on the part of Mr. Godchaux,
not only for law itself, but for the
members ot his own body who consti
tute the board of health, aud demon
strates his unwortliiness to be ou the
police jury of an euligbteued parish.
Dr. Ayo should uot have lost time
to correspond with the authorities
here, but should have at once used all
the power of the law iu eulorciug the
quarantiue regulations aguiust Mr.
Godehaux, without fear or favor.
At it is, the authorities hero com
manded the corouer to at ouce have
Mr. Godchaux attested und isolated
until further orders, and later in the
day the whole hoard iu session gave
peremptory orders that he be arrested
and sent back ou tiie first train going
to New Orleau*, w Itich, we are iufoi til
ed, was done.
So far, so good, but as soou as may
be, tiie delinquent member of the
police jury should be prosecuted and
made 1 .1 feel the penalty of the law,
if he will not respect its majesty.
There is no apparent excuse for Ilia
reprehensible conduct. He cannot
plead the baby act, for he must know
better, and if lie did not have sufficient
gumption t<> know better, he had been
told better, upon his own inquiry.

THE THE EOT TEE AT ME XT.
We publish in another column some
hints and criticisms on the Cherot
Treatment, from the pen of Judge
Arthur F. Knohlnch, who has had
some expel ience with yellow fever,
having gone ilnongh two epidemics,
and nursed the sick in 1878. W autof
room coustraius us to crowd out a
portionof liis paper, which will appeal
in our next issue.
These hints, criticisms and sugges
tiona are to be considered iu connec
tion with the original treatment, as
published, and as such may serve a
useful purpose iu treatiug aud nursing
the fever.
It is advisable, however, when
practicable to call in a physician at
the inception of the fever, and be
guided by him. as complications may
arise w hich would puzzle a layman.
The Cherot treatment and the hints
and suggestions, cchM be used in
ease of emergency when it is difficult
to secure promptly the services of a
physician- It is well to lead them
and familiarize one's seif witii them,
so as to be piepared to use them at
one moment's notice, should the occa
sion to do so arise.

Notwithstanding the stienuous op
position and protest of all the belter
elements of the Republican party in
this state, President McKinley has
appointed Henry Demas, oue of tiie
most corrupt and obuoxious negio
politicians in the country, to the pto
mlnent and lucrative position of
Naval Officer for the poit of New
Orleans. Whatever may have been the
considerations that induced the prt-si
detit to make this unfortunate relec
tion—and The Chief is not only will
• ing but anxious to condone w hat mav
• seciu to he mistakes or the part of the
I present chief executive —the fact is
[incontrovertible that this nomination
is a heavier blow to Republican in
terests and prospects in Louisiana
tliau any Democratic agency is capa
ble of administering. A large pro
portion of the most reputable and
intelligent white people of this state
have indorsed the principles and poll
cy of the Republican part? and an
desirous of contributing a share to
their enforcement, but it is unreason
able to expect citizens of this calibre
to recognize or tolerate such political
leadership as is sought to be thrust
upon them by the elevation of Henry
Demas to one of the highest federal
offices within the gift of the adminis
tration.— Donaldsouville Chief.
The Chief reflects the sentiment of
the better class of white republicans
in the State on the snoject nfihi*
obnoxious appointment. It is no
doubt a bitter d««se for ourfiiends to
swallow, but it is just what they had
to expect when they enrolled them
selves under the Republican hannei.
The republican doctrine recognizes
the equality of the negro, and a re
publican President simply follows tin
tenets of his party when he puts ne
groes into office.

t REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
To the Hon. L P. Caillouet. Judge ot I
the Eighteenth Judicial Dist. Court
Parish of Lafourche.
Your Grand Jury impaneled on the
6lh day of September 1897, Leg leave
to hand in their followiug findings
and this our final repoit. We have
found 24 prisoners in jail, and have
iudicted one for murder, the others
the District Attorney informed us he
has filed iufoi orations.
From our investigation and "inquiry ;
we recconimeud to the Police Juiy
the necessity of placing strong wire
screens before the jail windows for
the purpose of keeping dangerous j
weapons and other matter that can
he easily readied to the prisone't
from the outside. We have also ex
amined the sheriff's aud clerk's offic B
and find in so far as the records aie
concerned kept iu perfect order but :
do advise that the necessary furniture j
to equip tin ir offices should he fur-!
nished, and time also the Sheriff's :
house is hardly habitable for the lea- !
son that it leaks very much which is
causing rot. and the paper to fall, aud
consider it wise that the proper au
thorities should give it their imme
diate attention as it is public property
aud is going to ruin, and later on
repairs w ill he of no avail whatever
We have been informed that these
suggestions have been repeatedly
made and no action taken in the mat
ter. and trust that the Police Jury
will heed these timely suggestions.
We find the jail iu good condition,
and the prisoners are well taken care
of. We have examined into the par
ish treasurer's report and find his re
port to he correct, to wit:
Report of School fund on hand......
............................$161300
Report of General fuud, total for dis
bursements.................$1316.17
Report of General fund total for dis
buraeraeuts..................1993-43
Balance due Bank «?t Thibodaux....
.............................$668.26
The detailed report of which we here
with attach to our report.
We investigated the standing of onr
public schools and received from the
Pmi-h Superintendent ot Public edu
tion (hat there are 50 schools in the
pr.nsii with 65 or 66 teac! ers, and
that it requires about $2300.00 a month
to pay them ; that there are iu actual
attendance children numbering 34 or
3500. Of these 1000 are colored and
2500 are white, that for the last three
years they have kept open for 5
months only, owing to improper a
mount of lauds. We find that fmm the
State's d.stribution of school funds
other parishes, smaller iu the popula
tion of children than Lafourche, are
receiving a greater portion than us.
We investigated that matter and we
find that the assessor of our paiish
does tot make » thorough house to
house canvass in taking the census of
school children, aud attribute that
t H-t as the cause of the small propor
lion given us from the State School

The ehrouic sensational monger,
not to eall him by the harsher name
of habitual liar, will soon be abroad
in all his glory, and from now on
you may expect to hear all sorts of
exaggerated rumors about the yel
low fever being here, there, and
everywhere, where it is not and may
never be. Indeed, one must not be
surprised if they should have huu
dead and burieu before lie ever had
the fever, or ever dreamt of having
it. You must give the aforesaid
sensational monger full sway; it is
only iu case of inpending daager
that he has an unlimitted opportuni
ty to display his genius for inven
tion to its fullest proportions. Lis
' ten to him but diseount over aud
over again every thing he says, until
there is nothing of it left, and then
vou might resell the truth. Don't
gag him ; that may oaase his over
heated iuiaginatieu to become clogg
ed with a superabundance of exag
gerated fancies, aud then-well some
thing awful may take plaee. Let
the poor fellow alone.
A number ot Republican newspapers
now admit that the Diugley tariff .*ill
be inadequate as a reveuue producer,
and it is impossible to escape this
conclusion in view of the tact that
each week shows a greater decrease
in customs receipts than the piei edmg
oue. To stop the deficiency these
newspapers propose that the Dingley
bill be taken up at the regular session
of Congress and amended in many of
its features. If this is done the whole
tariff question will be opened again
to the detriment ot the business lute
rests of the country, and again, it ia
not by any means improbable that if
the bill were to be taken ud for
ameudment that the duties which are
now shutting out imports would be
increased instead ot lowered. To
amend the tariff bill however, and
reduce the rate* would be tantamount
to a confession oh the part of the
republicans that it is an utter failure
and rather than make such an ac
knowledgment to the country they
will allow it to gtand aud force the
administration to issue bonds to cover
the deficiency in the treasury.—States.
