TIE DIGNITY OF THE LAW.

| The disgraceful termination Of the market
upon Radical authority and civil jurispru-
dence that should be sufficient in itself to
COM emn it in the estimation Of the civilized
world.
Hawkins, a creature of the usurpatlon,
weak, ignorant and spiritless, issues an injunc-
ton, restraining Administrator Turnbull and
the police from interfering with the private
market men in the pursuit Of their business.
/ Mr. Turnbull treats the order with contempt,
and with the assistance Of Kellogg procures
Badger and his police to close these private
markets, to the great advantage of the lessees
of the public markets
| Hawkins fumes and pretends to be mad
| orders the arrest Of Turnbull, who, after i'm
prisonment for contempt Of court is par
doned by his friend and patron, Kellogg.
Hawkins becomes more enraged and causes
Turnbulrs re-arrest, and sentences him to ten
days imprisonment and fine Of fifty dollars.
Again Kellogg comes to his rescue with an
Executive pardon. Deputy Sheriff Dick has
Hawkins order to enforce the decree Of court,
and after three days temporizing, during
which time he is arrested and treated with in
by the police, and i, 0utwitted by Kellogg and
the Metropolitan Police Board
The last phase of the case is that Kellogg
sent for Hawkins and threatened to remove
hin, from off. Is he r.
forcing the order of his court. To this the
Judge of the Superior Court yielded, and
ordered the Sheriff to return the writs OF
arrest TO the court. This ends the war Of the
private markets, and leaves Kellogg and Turn
bull masters Of the situation, and Hawkins
court successfully defed
This is a fair sample of the government of
No one respects the orders OF
court, and if show of resistance is made,
Hawkins will quietly recede, swallow his own
orders and subject himself to the il suits OF
every one who may come along.
BY this ignominious back down of Hawkins
and humiliating submission to the orders OF
his master, a large portion of the community |
is made to suffer from the suppression Of
the private markets, which are favored |
by majority of the people. Their
has been effected by ring in
which public officials have been beneticiares,
md Kellogg has aided the movement with a
new OF making political capital with class
If people who can be Influenced by panlerng
0 their pecuniary interests
The result Of this case shows that, when
he law or orders Of court are calculated to
Mediate against the political interests Of
Kellogg they are not to be respected or OBJ
erved, in fact, must give way to the superior
uthority Of the usurper, who recognizes no
uthority that is antagonistic to his will
How long, now, we ask, will the people Of
MS city tolerate such an outrage? Will they
ermit the law, the authority of the courts,
JUS to be set at defiance by miserable and
owardly usurpero Will they permit him to
Sc the police to sustain him by brute force in
is violation of the law Is he safe in such |
)nduct when he threatens the Judge orders
he police and brings the cooperation Of Y
fcials to outrage the people To such
eature there is but one argument, and that
drive him from our midst {
