We do not know to what extent Judge
Edwards can be blamed for his action in
ordering Sheriff BrOussard to convey the
Lafayette prisoners, 18 i'm number, to the
Jail OF an adjoining parish, or to the city
OF New Orleans. In the first place, il the
Lafayette Jail which is acknowledge to be
one OF the strongest prisons in the state,
was not strong enough to secure the
murderer key against mob, we do not
believe other jails in the country would
be safe if the same persons who battered
down the Jail at Lafayette took to release
their friends confined in any country
Jail.
We doubt that the Jail of either st.
Landry, EermilliOn or Iberia could. be-
sides their own prisoners, accommodate.
with security, Is prisoners from neigh
boring parish. We believe that Judge
Edwards and the sheriff acted wisely and
did what was best under the circumstan-
ces. Ii the Judge and the Sheriff though
that the prisoners would not be safe in
the Jail of any adjoining parish, it was
their sacred duty to bring them to New
Orleans if that place could secure their
safe Incarceration.

There was mass meeting held In the
third ward of this parish last Sunday.
1t was, we believe, Regulators meet
ing as it was kept somewhat a secret.
We only heard of the meeting after it
was over. We inquired from several
persons in town if they knew anything
of that "mass meeting" and the answer
in every case was ''nO." This meeting
was not advertised, and we are told that
the attendance was very limited. Now,
if this meeting was political one, it
should have been called in the name of
the Democracy of this parish by posters
or by advertising same in the local pa
pers. A democratic campaign cannot
be made by ''secret'' mass meetings. If
the Democracy of this parish intends to
inaugurate Il campaign it should begin
in the proper way.
