THE TEXAS CASE.

The people of Texas seem to be in .
ferm.nt. Expecting to receive United
States aid 10 defying q popular majority,
as was done in Louisiana. the Supreme
Court has assumed to set aside the recen.
election for State officers and members
Of the Legislature. But the President
having advised the defeated candidates
to submit to the will OF the people -
signified by the forty thousand majori-
ty in favor Of Governor CooKl, the Rad
icals have scarce determined what to
do. Governor CooKB has been inaugu-
rated; the new legislature has Assem-
bled and organized Notwithstanding
the decree OF the Supreme Court. and
citizens who want to conform to the
popular will and at the same time
obey the law are in doubt what to do.
The case is one OF act.
ual revolution in which laws are
silent aud s6ciety adjusts itself into con-
iormity with the popular behsst. no
matter what may be the statutes or the
decisions OF the courts.
There is among Americans generally
. profound reverence for law - inter
preted by the tribunal of last resort.
Individual opinions are subordinated to
the deliberate judgment OF courts and
even what 10 felt to be grievous wrong
is submitted to because it is inflicted 10
accordsnc. with the forms Of law. BUT
sometimes, where the grievance
is q common one and al
fects whole people. the eI-
pressed will OF the people, which is q
higher law than the acts Of legislature
or the mandates OF . court, asserts itl
sovereignty.
This seems 10 be the case in Texas.
A large majority Of the voters, (sbou'
forty thousaAd) have pronounced IN
favor Of a certain set OF State officers.
The Supreme Court says that the elec-
ton was not held iu accordance with
the terms OF a Constitution which the
people are striving to shake Of. The
response is that these men are oul
choice, and, law or NO law, they shall
be respected in their positions. 1t il
revolution, but it is compliance with
the popular will.
