THE POWER of POLICE JURIEs 4

for his failure to do so, we have taker
the trouble Of consulting the decision
of our Supreme Court on the subject
aud we herewith present the result O
our Investigations In that quarter.
The decision we shall cite is found
reported in 30 An. page 1898, and Il

l.Worls:
"The defendant was summoned to

ed to obey the summons. The over
seer of the road sued him for four dol
lars, the fines as many days of delin-
quency.
"The defendant pleaded a general
denial, and the 'sunconstitutionality Of
the tax levied upon him." furnished
written reasons for judgment which
begin by properly reciting that the
action Is for the recovery of five dollars
for failure or fines for having refused to
work on the roads, but conclude by rul.
ing that the ordinance of the Police

tax upon the people, and is therefore
Unconstitutional.
"The justice Is In error. Police juries

"The Polio Jury of st. Martin pass
ed an ordinance requiring persons be-
tween certain ages to work on the
public roads, and imposed a fine of one
dollar for each day of failure to work
when required. The defendant incurr-
ed the penalty denounced by the ordin-
ance, after having been only summon
ed, and he must pay for his dere1iction
of public duty.
"One of the surest tests of the civil
lization of a country Is the condition Of
lis public roads. Years ago, at the
termination OF that period when able
bodied men were needed elsewhere
than al home, ,;there was good excuse
for impossible roads, but there is no
good reason now why those who are
liable to road duty should not he made

The court condemned the defendant
to pay the fine imposed by the parish
of ST. Martin, and all costs OF the lower
court and of the appeal.
In view of the strong, clear and cx-
plicit language employed by the Su.
preme Court in the quoted case, II is
not worth while for any one to dispute
the power and authority of Police
Juries over the public roads. Hence,
inspectors need not fear the enforcing

TRAN MEN IMPRISONED.
A Railway Accident for Which the Mexi-
eau Authorities Arrested the Train
HINDU


EAGLE PASS, Ten, May 12-As the
south-bound passenger train on the Next
can International Railway was nearing
La Aura Station yesterday a Mexican
was discovered asleep on the track. The
signal was given, but before the engineer
could stop the train it passed over the
Mexican, cutting 81 both legs. The
mutilated Mexican was picked up and
conveyed to La Aura for medical treat
ment, and the train moved on to MOndOYa,
the former capital of Coahulla and the
present terminus Of the railway. On
the return Of the train this morning to
La Aura Conductor Bethel, Engineer
Thos. Eddings, the fireman and the brake
men, together with Frank James, the local
agent Of the railway, were arrested and
thrown into prison, where they now lie
awaiting developments. The mutilated
Mexican is in a precariOus condition and
will undoubtedly die. A new. crew of
tranmen have been sent to La Aura to
bring the train INTO Eagle Pass. This is
the third accident of a similar character
that has occurred on the Mexican Inter-
national Railway. which is an extension
of the Southern Pacific, from Eagle Pass
to SaltillO, where it will connect. when
completed, with the Mexican National
line. In each of the accidents the en-
gineers, aware of the character of Next
can justice, uncoupled their locomotives
from the train, putOn full head of steam,
and never closed throttle until they
were safe on American soil. Those en-
gineers will never return 10 Mexico.
How long Conductor Bethel, Engineer
Eddings, Agent james and their COM
rades will be heldtin Jail can only be sur
missed, hut, Judging from the tardy action
OF the Mexican authorities in similar
cases on the Mexican Central and MeXi-
can International Railways during the
first years they were operated, these
trainmen in all probability will spend the
summer incarcerated in the loaths0me
Mexican prison at La Aura unless some
vigorous measures are adopted for their
release. The nearest United States Con-
sui resides st Saltillo, fully $50 miles dis
tant, and, while the consuls in Mexico do
all they can 10 protect American citizens,
the native officials despise their authority
and their protests have but little weight.

BLAINEAND SHERMAN FOR 1888
The Plumed Knight said to be Planning
for the Next Presidential Race.
From the Neao York World.

From the Neao York World.
WASHINGTON, May ia greal deal Of
Importance is attached to the plans of
Senator John sherman by the Republican
leaders who are in Washington. 1t is
generally believed that there is some sort
Of understanding between Mr.. sherman
and Mr.. Blaine, that the two have entered
into an alliance of a character similar to
the one entered into between Messrs.
Blaine and Logan before the meeting Of
the last June convention in Chicago.
Senator Sherman is to make trip
through the South very soon with a
view of seeing what can be done
in working up Republican sentiment
there in his favor. MIR. Sherman
believes that he is almost the ouly Re-
publican who can carry both the State of
Ohio and the State of New York in the
next Presidential election. Mr.. Sherman
has been encouraged in his candidacy by
number OF Eastern capitalists. lie is
popular witt the politicians of his party
in one sense of the word, for they believe
that ne will have nothing to do with the
humbug OF civil service reform. IL is said
that Mr.. Blaine is not anxious TO take
part again in any political can
a time last year. He would fear
the physical consequences of en-
during another similar strain. He would
like to return to power, however, II he
could do IL as the leader of the Cabinet
under a new Republican administration.
Mr.. Blaine regards Mr.. Sherman as one
of the most available men To put forward
at the present time Tor people to talk
about Gen. Logan NAV be prominent too
as a candidate, If ne should win in the
Senatorial election in Illinois. 1t is I'M
derstOOd here that there is GOODNESS be-
tween Blaine and Logan growing out of
the result OF the campaign, and that there
could be no possible alliance between
them in the future.
Reports from Ohio say that John Sher-
man has made his peace with GOV. FOe-
ter. According TO these reports sherman
is 20 be candidate for Governor in Ohio
at the next election, and to withdraw from
the canvass for reelection for Senator.
These stories have, perhaps, a grain OF
truth at the bottom. Foster has been on
here for number Of visits during the
spring lie dislikes sherman very thor
/ Oughly, however, ana would not come
around to help him again IN hIs Presiden-
tal ambitions unless he were assured in
advance OF mis- pay. Ever since Mr.. FOs-
I ter had She pleasure OF paving John Sher-
mans hotel bill at The Chicago COnven.
ton Of 1850 he has talked very plainly
about that statesman. Ohio people hera
/ do not believe thar Mr. sherman could
/ carry Ohio if be were 20 run as Governor.
They say that he is tse dcadest and most
unpopular man among the Republicans
lon the state. There is no doubt that
Blaine ls willing TO have senator Sher-
man 20 ahead and fry his hand in seeing
what he can do % b,come Governor Of
Ohio. II he succeeds there be will he
considered ia the list OF candidates. II
no should fail Mr. Blaine would be look
ing out for anolier partner for 1SsS.
