insecure, and the carrying of the mails

ton of affairs exists in some localities,

do not doubt that the power Of the Ex-
ccutive of the United States, acting
within the limits of existing laws, is
sufficient for tho present emergency is
not clear; therefore, l urgently recon-
mend such legislation as in the judg-
ment of Congress shall effectually Sc
cure life, liberty and property, and the
enforcement of law in all parts of the
United States. 1t may be eXpcdient to
provide that such law as shall be passed
in pursuance of this recommendation,
shall expire at tho end of the next SCS-
sion of Congress. There is no other
subject on which l would recommend

may.

A card is published in the New Or
leans papers, to which is affixed the
names of nearly four hundred leading
men and business firms of that city,
pledging the signers to resist, by all
legal means, the payment Of all indebt-
edness incurred by the legislature over
the constitutional limit of 1925, OOO, 900.
by the favorable comment of the Times
thereon. The Indebtedness repudiated
is absolutely a nullity-never can be en-
forced, if the State officials do their duty,
that is, support the Constitution. AS
well might the merchant, notified by a
minors father not to credit said minor,
appear in court and ask to have the
minors indebtedness ripened into a
Judgment against the father, as for hol-
ders of evidences Of State Indebtedness,
over the limit prescribed, ask to be paid.
FLet the business men of New Orleans
use the sponge where it is needed, and
not where the debt never existed; and
then let them resolve that unreasonable
taxation shall cease.R Their reliance
upon the courts is unworthy of serious
thought. The courts are organized to
sustain the acts of the Radical party,
and in nine cases out of ten they will
decide in that direction. hf there is to
be any relief, it must come from the
peoples i've, for one, proclaimed, more
than two years ago, our determination
not to pay any portion of the State debt,
incurred since reconstruction began,
and we have not changed our mind a
particle, only we have been compelled
to pay tribute to the Radicals for want
of a remedy to prevent it. Not dollar
of the debt binds us except by force.

1t is absurd, the merest cant and
