1t is asserted that disorder is the logical

party administering the government is re-

State annually pays about $50 1000, or tax

OF Democratic decentralization. Since
the war nearly million of dollars has
been collected on this account.

seizures shall not be violated.
There are other laws that protect the law
breaker, deeigned not particularly for his
benefit, but to prevent suspicion of ipjus-
tice and guarantee the innocent, who may
be unfortunate enough to be mistaken for
the guilty. the privilege of what in modern
times is the appeal from Philip drunk to
Philip sober.
In this case there was not the slightest
regard paid to any law after Governor
Antoine had reluctantly placed his sigma
ture as the Attorney General dictated. In
the city of New Orleane, hundreds of miles
from his home; his court, his officers and
his friende, he is seized and concealed by Q
Texas special and two officers of New Or
leans. He had no opportunity to obtain
bail. habeas corpus, legal counsel or even
communication with his children. He was
taken to Texas without change of
clothing and only 81 in his pocket. In ad-
dition to these outrages he never heard read
any warrant, requisition or mandate for his
arrest and never saw any.
Now, suppose he was the guilty criminal
fleeing from Justice in Texasf He was .
citizen OF Louisiana, holding q position Of
honor, trust and profit. His acts are bound
to be recognized by all courts. His position
makes him notorious, all must recognize it.
1t prevents the imputation of being fu-
gitive. He is under the direct contr of
the Governor and an officer of the State Of
Louisiana. Where is the law that can JUS
tify his secret arrest and removal from it's
bounds, the interruption of his duties, the
authority Of the executiyel What is the
authority that made the Attorney General
30 peremptoryY He must have forgotten
that the revulsion that made cabsl an
English word abolished the Star Chamber.
He must have been wofully deceived.
But the Bulletin. with elaborate head
lines and the names of the New Orleans
officers held up for admiration, tells with
glee how the capture was made, the con-
ceslment secured and the kidnapping
effected. One special is made to say his
special business is to avoid the service of q
writ of habeas corpus. Such statement is
gall and bitterness to an upholder of the
law. What! an officer of the law use the
facilities the law intrasts to his honor to
frustrnte the law whose servant he isl Ts
break the law that he may be commended
as Q faithful exponent of it. If his prisoner
is lawfully in his custody, what can he fear
from any COURT Ii illegally he has seized
him, how gladly should an honest officer re-
turn the privilege that the American gener-
ally prizes next to the life he will gladly
throw away to secure! But the Bulletin has
no conception of such things except when
they are in the path to Office. When the
efficient officers are on trial with the horrors
of the Penitentiary in sight, they will remem-
ber the praises of the Bulletin with thanks,
but they IL spell it differently.
But Judge Stokes was not guilty. When
the fact was announced the Bulletin pro-
ceeded to prove that he must be, because
