The Providence Journal calls the men
who drove Kellogg into the New Orleans
Custom House the Louisiana Dorrites. y
There is some justice in the comparison.
The DorriteS fought for equal suffrage and
to pull down the oligarchs who desired to
govern an American Commonwealth under
a royal charter. Their cause failed, but
their principles were triumphant, and it
would be the political death of Senator
Anthony or any other Rhode Island pol
itician to advocate return to the charter
rule of ante. Dorr times. And right must
eventually prevail even in Louisiana, the
