The democratic candidate for col.
lector claims that he was not ignor.
ant Of the law that requires payment
for Jail rent TO the county by The
United States, but cx his act on
the ground that the United States re-
fused TO pay. We do rot be!ieye any
lawyer will say that Mr.. Mahan did
not have the right to refuse to keep
United States prisoners, if it refused
to pay what the state statute re.
quired. Has the United States the
right to force the violation of a state
law? Not much. A nan who seeks
the important Office of collector of
Cole county ought to know better.
The United States can force him to
do nothing until it complies with the
law. Can it force Mr.. Mahan to vic.
late a plain statute? AS sheriff of
Col. county, Mr.. Mahan should have
accounted TO Cole county for every
United States prisoner kept in the
Jail of Cole county. Is the Jail here
simply for the accommodation of the
United States, and profit to the
sheriff! If the United States is al
lowed to violate our statute why
should not everybody else do the
same. We must say it shows very
poor efficiency in the sheriff when lie
lets Cole county suffer such a loss
and Excuses it by saying the United
States would not pay, when the law
is plain that they must do so.
The United States shall pay for the
use and keeping Of such jails at the
rate of one dollar per month for each
person that shall, under their author.

Of this state, during the time sucl,
prisoners shall be therein confined,
and shall support such of said pris-
oners as shall be committed for of.

Every lawyer will see at once that
the above is a mandatory statute. 1t
says the United States shall pay. The
sheriff has nc discretion in the matter
and has no right to receive prisoners
unless the above law is complied
with.

GOVERNOR NICHOLAS
And The Board CT Health.
Anti P~erscnalism Appointments.

The new board consists of Drs.
Olliphant, FOrement0 and Bezou,
and Messrs. Davidson Hill, Clayton
Holloway and King, and there are
two vacant seats.
In the election Ofanew president,
Mr.. Davidson Hill, like Dr.. Kenn-
cdy, voted blank; and the other six
members voted for DR.. Olliphant,
who, to show his appreciation of
the Governors choice, and his full
confidence in the new president,
voted for himself.
In dismissing the subject for the
time being, we cannot refrain from
saying that these changes in the
board now conSumated have caused
a wide spread feeling of %apprehen-
sion, amounting almost to c0nsterna-
ton. 1t appears, perhaps, ungra-
ciouS to call up the dead past,
but it is the fact that the fearful
epidemic of rs, which destroyed
thousands Of human lives in New
Orleans and tens of thousands in
the Mississippi valley, which paraly-
zed the trade of dozens 0fcitieS and
ruined hosts Of erst prosperous cit
liens, was 4 direct outcome Of the
action of Gov. Nichols, in his first
term of Office.
Then, as now, he consulted his
personal predictions more thanthe
public welfare by securing the an
pointment of aprot6g6 of his own as
quarantine physician who proved
inadequate to the duties of the
position. The yellow fever epidemic
came as the direful consequence.
Gov. Nichols profited nothing
obviously by the contemplation of
that awful calamity. He repeats,
after experience, in 1890 what was
no doubt the result of a grave error
in 1878.
Nor has an incident, which oc-
cured so lately rs last year, made
any more impression on the Cover
norS mind than his unSpeakable
mistake OF twelve years ago. Last
year a case of yellow fever was
allowed to pass the Qnararine
Station and to be cenveyel up to
the very wharf Of New Orleans,
where tho victim died. Again We
had tothank Gov. Nichols, through

Railr0ah Commission.

\ great many Of our people M
agine that any legislation defining
the rights and obligations Of rail
roads and restricting their powers
is necessarily conceived i'll a spirit
Of animoxity. And recognizingth the
benefit and advantages resulting
from roads are slow in approving
any legislative interference.
The roads encourage this IDEA
and thercupon base argument to
show that it would be unjust and
injurious to them, and being per
fectly familiar with the subject,
having all manner offacts and fig
ures at their fingers ends, tits com
paratively an easy matter for them
from their stand point to convince
the average legislator that a com
mission would result in their ruin.
The discussion Of ohis matter,
however, IS developing the tact
that such is not the ease. the PEG
pie are fast learning that they in the
past have in many instances been
most numerically plucked and that
it is very easy and simple matter
ia DrrypOt If in the future,
1t is beginning to be pretty gen
orally known that the L. S. Gov
eminent have enacted a law regu-
lating all roads leading from one
state into another, that some
twenty-eignt Of our sister states
have railroad commissions, and
that commissioners, have been APP
pointed with power to hear com
plants, try and decide issues, and
~genarally to enforce the law.
sgeting to be pretty we'll known
that in no single instance has q
state repealed it's commission law,
but that they have from time to
time amended and perfected it as
circumstances developed the ne
cessity of doing so. Statistics tell
us that in DO state has q railroad
law retarded the building Of roads,,
or diminished the earnings of those
in operation.
1t is strange therefore that these
who have looked into this matter
and are familiar with the facts,
should wonder why our State holds
back and delays adopting measures
for the protection Of her citizens ?
We are exceedingly conservative
and SLOW people down here in Lou
i~Siana, and Is requires stubborn
facts and an argument with the
power of a combined lever and jack
screw to lift us out Of the rut III
which we have been running fer the
last century.
There seems to be no spur to
prick the sides of our ambition and
We trudge along in the old beaten
paths, adhering to Old ways and
old methods, dead to the life around
us, blind to the light Of experience
before us, needless of the benefits
to be derived by the adoption of
progressive ideas-regular Rip Van
Wrinkles.
Some of our people are captured
by the earnest protest of the roads
that they never intend to do an in
justice, and that wherever one is
done and their attention called to
1t they will at once rectify it. The
plain answer to this is, that if YOU
contemplate no wrong, you can
have no valid objection to a law
forbidding YOU to do wrong. But
you have done wrong AID you may
do so again.
We don't wait until a crime is
comnittcd,to enact law t~orbiddinG
it. We pass a law saying you shall
