Why was it done.

The simple decapitation of Police
Jury man might appear, on first
thought to be trivial matter. But af
ter maturer reflection, 1T becomes one
OF considerable gravity. Our fore
fathers cared very little for the tax on
tea, SO far as the money proposed to be
collected in that way, was concerned
but there was a Fundamental prinCipit
OF government Involved in it that ex-
cited the greatest alarm and led on to
the revolution.
80 there is principle involved il
the unaccountable and unceremonious
decapltation of Messrs. Dupr6 and
Guldry, as members of the Police Jury
These gentlemen were capable and
honest. They voted for the present
Governor, if that be considered at all
important. The constituents whom
they represented were entirely satisfied
with them. They had faithfully watch
ed every interest they were in duty
bound to respect Why then, were
they removed We have heard Of no
lnstitying reason so far.
1t is known they were members iu
good standing of the Farmers Alliance,
and as such it may be. they were in
some local matters little Independent
Ii may be they had some thoughts
ideas and convictions of their own, con
victions which had not been prescribed
by the appointing power. But was
that Eeason why they should, by
truculent power, be merciIessly decapi-
tatedP
Some of the journals of tho State
have long been urging the necessity OF
taking from the Governor several OF
the powers he wields, because the in
yestiture of them is not in harmony
and consonance with the spirit of de-
mocracy. 1t is believed that if tht
people can be trusted with the election
OF the Governor, they can be safely
trusted with the election of their local
| law makers, Police Jurors
The Governor, contrary to every idea
of democracy, is made a very war.
wick, can make and unmake officials,
guided and restricted by no authority
other than his sovereign will We will
not dwell on the subject, but will avail
ourselves of the occasion, to remind the
Farmers Alliance that we have been
and are still ready to aid them in the per.
manent establishment of all the char
tered and delared purposes of their or
ganization. We believe that as class
they have many grievances which can
and should be corrected.
They have been duped and that
shamefnlly, and we sincerely trust il
may be an enduring lesson and ad
moDition to them in their future efforts
Time is the correcter when our Judge
ments err and let it be so with the
Alliance
