AN OUTRAGE.

N.vor yinson Uses the Power of His d
flee to Redress Private Grievance
Shreveport has passed throug
many startling scenes, has witnesses
many strange proceedings on tn
part of both officials and private cit
liens, and had almost reached tina
stage when the public was prepared
for anything that might arise, NJ
matter whether caused by the idiosyn
Grassy of an officer, or the lunatic ac
of an inividual. But in this it was
mistaken. 1t was prepared for any
thing except a direct and willful
crime perpetrated by its trusted Of
fcials, the use of power invested by
Office, to redress private grievance.
But on Tuesday morning Mayor Vim
son committed an act which smacked
strongly of prostitution of his office.
and made impeachment almost abb
solutely necessary. The nature Of
the case is this. On Saturday after
noon a row occurred in the General
Milan saloon" opened on that day
for the first time. 1t grew so bois-
ferrous that millinery establishment
hard by, and conducted by ladies,
was forced to close for fear of vio-
lence from drunken men. In order
to suppress this, Constable Charles
w. Kelly rushed over, and on enter
ing the saloon found two parties en-
gagged in a fight. These he, as a |
peace officer, separated and was in
strumental in putting down the tur-
MOL, which was attracting general

S., as was also one of the belliger-
ants, the other, who was doing the
pounding, going scot free, no charge,
10 far as known, having been made
Igainst him.
This will be interesting news to the
public truly. The fact that consta-
lie, peace officer intrusted with as
much, to say the least, power and au-
hority as policeman, dare not quell
disturbance, which it is his sworn
uty to do, for fear that he will be
auled up before Mayor Vinson and
ned for it, is startling one to
he average man, while jurists will
onder greatly over the condition of &
fairs. Yet that is exactly the true
tate, and as mentioned in another
rticle, there seems to be no appeal .
'om such an outrageous and unjust !
ecision.
Now the question is what is the cause !
this usurpation of authority by the ;
layor? The answer is too patent I
