Mr.. Editor,
No government can subsist any
length of time, unless it possesses
the right and power to provide
the means necessary to defray the
expenses of its existence, hence
the power to levy and collect taxes

vernment that power is vested
not as of right, but par la raison
dm plus fort, in an autocrat, and
it is unrestricted and unlimited, in
constitutional monarchy like
that of England it is regulated by
the constitution and it Is checked
by the House of Commons, and in
the United States of America,
which is a Democratic Federal Re-
public is it vested in the two houses
of Congress within the limits of the
powers delegated by the Constitu-
ton to the Federal government
and for the purposes for which it
was created. Now, under the
constitution of the United States,
there are only two modes, by
which the taxing power can be ex-
ercised, viz; one, by direct taxes,
assessed and levied on property,
and by licenses exacted from per
Sons exercising professions trades
or other occupations; and the
other by indirect taxation, through
the means Of Z tariff, levying du-

The Illegal Appointed Off,
GERS Not Yet in Office
A Tumultuous Session of the
Police Jury.
The Buffers Were Blufed,
And Were Forced to Abandon
the Fort
The Buffers Were Blufed,
The Facts.

On the 20 day Of last month an IRE
gular meeting of three of the newly ap-
pointed members Of the Police Jury was
held, without legally notifying the
members, without even notifying the
Secretary to bring the books of that body
at the sO-called special meeting. No
one knew anything about the meeting
except those who planned the work.
When the meeting was called to order
MIR. {. II. MOuton, the legal adviser of
the police jury was called and his 0pin :
ion asked as to whether the new police
jury had the right to organize at any
other time than the regular meeting
day, to which the legal adviser said in
his opinion they had no right to do 80.
As this answer of their legal adviser
did not satisfy them, or at least did
not satisfy Mr.. A. V. FOurnet who
seemed to control the parish legislature
turned to eX-Judge Jas. 4. MOutOn and
asked him his opinion. this gentleman
answered that the jury had the right to
organize. Then the jury decided to pro-
coed and effect its organization. Mr.. v.
NJ. Guilbeau then protested against this
action Of the jury, stating that the Opin-
ion of their legal adviser was that the
meeting was not legal and withdrew.
lie would not participate in any illegal
proceedings.
After those illegal proceedings the
McEneryites rejoiced aud glorified, for
the illegal meeting had appointed Mr..
Paul Fournet Secretary and Mr. o. Ba-
don Treasurer.

lation of the parish affairs by portion

Mr.. Auguste Maraist asked the previ-
lege to give his reasons why he held the
books and why the appointment Of Mr..
Paul FOurnet to succeed him in his cap
acity Of Secretary was illegal, the pri-
vilege was denied him by the Presiding
officer. The legal adviser was sent for
and asked for his opinion of the special
meeting, and he again repeated 1t was
not legal.
Mr.. Maraist again rose and gave some
very clear reasons why the special meet
ing was illegal, he said the members
should have been notified through him,
tn e Secretary, but they were not, two of
them were not notified at all.
After Mr.. Maraist had finished his ex-
PLANTATION and protested against his re.
moval in such a manner, Mr.. Albert
Martin rose to make motion, but the
president seeing he was I'm the minority
and could not control the meeting, Dos
ed in dictator, as a great ruler, and said
Il declare the meeting adjourned and
recognize Mr.. Paul Fournet the Secre-
tary, looking at Fournet he continued
take the books" and he left the meeting
room. The president was followed by
Mr.. II. David; this left only three mem
bers present, Duchamp. Martin and
Guilbeaux who protested against the
wOuld-be ruler, and remained in their
seats.
A.V. FOurnet then told his brother,
Paul FOurnet, to take the books, which
he did, but he hardly had them in
his hands when Cab. Gnrdemal and VIC
tor Maraist advanced towards him and
said you shall not take these books" and
snatched them from him. with the re-
marks that you shall not rule white
men as you ruled negroes" the tug-of-
war had come, the excitement was in
tense, every enc was ready for the fray.
A. V. FOurnet realizing the situation
advised his brother to let the books 90.
After some heated discussions some
one remarked "let this matter be decided
by the court. To this Cab. Cardinal
remarked nothing of the kind, if you do,
the papers will disappear" Then A. v.
FOurnet. clerk o: court replied, "this
occurred but once ct bien pro-pos."
Gardemal then insulted him in such a
manner that every one present thought
1t would result in fight, but it did not.
Gardemal said he was just waiting for
such an occasion to give him a piece of
his mind, in public.
When the excitement subsidized the re-
naming members of the police jury
sent for their legal adviser and consulted
him on the arbitrary power Of the pre-.
sident to so abruptly declare the meet
ing adjourned. The opinion of the legal
adviser Is that to adjourn the meeting
motion had to be made by a member,
and put to vote. He said the action of
the president did not adjourn the meet
ing and that the session was still open,
but there was not a quorum. as there
were only three members out of six.
The remaining members then sent for
notary public and protested against
the withdrawing members, particularly
the president.
Action has been taken for the removal
OF Messrs. COrmier and David.

the United States; these duties
are first paid by the importers in
to the treasury, but as they are SO
much added to the selling prices,
they are paid back by the purcha-
sers and consumers, 30 tn at in the
end these duties are SO much tax
es levied on the consumers. Al
though in a republican country,
direct taxes on property and CAPT.
tai are thought by many to be
preferable to indirect taxation,
through the means of a tariff on
imports, for the reason that it
seems more equitable that the
burden of the expenses of govern
ment should be borne by those,
whose property and capital are
protected, yet, as protection OF
property and of its enjoyment, is
not the only or most precious
function of the government of the
United States, or the only end for
which it has been established, but
that in reality it is secondary,
when compared with its para
mount function of protecting life
and liberty. it has been deem just
and proper that all, who live in
the country, and who are protect
ed by the laws in their life and IL
berty, should be made to contri-
butte in an equitable proportion
towards the support of the govern
ment rs well as thorse, whose pro-
perty and capital are protected;
Hence it is that since the earliest
days of the federal government,
congress has passed laws impos-
ing duties on imports to raise re-
venues, and by means of a tariff,
each and every consumer in the
United States, whether citizen or
resident foreigner, was and is
compelled to contribute a kind of
Peter-pence towards defraying the
expenses of the administration of
the federal government; while I
admit that this just and proper,
1 hold Mr.. Editor, that it is
spoliation on the part of govern
ment, to exact from the people,
more money, by direct or indirect
taxation, than necessary to defray
the expenses of an economical adj
ministration and to support and
maintain the dignity and honor of
the Republic, to that extent and
for that purpose only the taxing
power of congress ought to be re-
stricted.
Taxes ought never to be impos-
ed in a shape or manner as to
create a large surplus in the frea-
sury of the United States, for two
principal reasons, viz; because in
Republic like ours, government
has no right to exact from the
mass of the people money in ex-
cess of its needs; and because a
large surplus in the treasury is a
standing temptation for corrupt
job-legislation and extravagant
appropriations for public improve
ments in certain localities, with a
view of exercing an indirect poll
teal influence in elections; this,
Of course cannot be called bribery,
although it has the parfume of
this most odoro US crime. I con-
TESS Mr.. Editor, that although I
have a moderate dose of faith in
the impeccability of the average
politician, who sits in the Hall of
the Congress of the United States, |
l believe that, when he prays.

QUARLES ON CRAVENS.

by Mr.. Cravens at Hewitt.

To the Editor of THE NEws:
| have just noticed the following in
paper of the 23rd inst, which is
clipped from your report of a speech
made by F. P. Cravens at Hewitt;
"When Clark appoints commission
l want you to keep your eyes on three
men, j. Waldo, Hon. w. H. Leasing,
of Waco, and Hon H. James Quarles
of La Grange"
| am not surprised that member
of the Hogg gang should be SO ignor.
ant of the law as not to know that Mr..
/. Waldo, a citizen of Missouri, is not
4 igible to the Office of railroad commits
sAner Of Texas. | am not surprised
that he should mention Judge Leasing
in this connection, for even an advo
cate of the reigning mountain of
adipose tissue cannot but recognize
his ability to eli that or any other
position. But | must confess that |
am very much surprised that Mr..
Cravens, whom have never injured,
or of whom | have never spoken save
in the most friendly terms, should go
out of his way to heap ridicule upon
me in manner that was as UT called
for and unexpected as it was unjust
and unmanly.
| do not claim sufficient ability to
assist in the control of the railway
system of Texas, but l do claim to
have enough decency and enough
manhood to refrain from ridiculing
and stabbing In the back in remote
corner of the country, and during his
absence, a man who has never been
anything other than friend.
| am aware that this gentleman of
ambroslal locks and kildee legs-even
since he made a failure of making
some reputation by sneaklng into a
seCretaryship of the Clark club and
then resigniDg with a flourish OF
trumpets that failed to awake an
echo-has been striking around like
a blind viper in August, trying to in
oculate somebody with his overlooking
venom, and [ appreciate the utter
and silent contempt that his efforts
have heretofore provoked. Were ii
not for my absence from the scene Of
his wild oavorting, and the absolute
cowardice that prompted his utter
ance, l should not dignity him by
referring to him, but | want to say
here and now to Mr.. Cravens and his
ilk, that no distance is great enough
to make ne fail to resent, and no time
