A CASE IN POINT.

Anarchy prevailed not long since in
Jefferson Parish, La. A gang OF des-
peradoes had long terrorized the parish.
The officers of the law feared to attack
and break up the gang. 1t was a case to
which we refer the TuIare Register, which
holds all laws are enforced which the
people do not wish to be dead letters.
Here were the good and law-abiding
people clanoring for the enforcement of
the law, but unable TO secure 1t. These
good citizens far outuumbered the bad
ones. but the latter resorted to violence
and cowed the officials. The result was
what might have been expected. Decency
arose. met the murderers and roughs on
their own ground. in their own way, and
hanged one of the white ringleaders.
Yet it is impossible to condone this re-
sort to violence in the face of the law.
The New Orleans Picayeule hopes the act
does not indicate growing contempt for
the law and its methods. 1t does not,
but it does indicate growing discomfort
with the inefliciency of men selected to
OK ecute the laws.
The question is, however, with all con-
domination possible OF mob law in full
view: Were the citizens who broke up
the gang OF rowdies doing better for So
ciety than if they had remained law
abiding and suffered the gang to continue
its acts of lawlessness?
We agree with HGpe1'S Weekly. "a
refusal to enforce any law is an assault
upon all law, and therefore upon the
sovereignty which governs through
| law" But where contempt for the law. or
disgust over its non-enforcement, leads
! citizens to override it, and by violence do
what the officers of the law should do,
there il a condition of anarchy. and that
is never excusable.
| What the citizens of Jefferson Parish
should have done was to organize behind
the officers of the law, and compel the m
to execute it; given them the moral and
physical support necessary, and made
| them understand that those who refuse
| and tail to do their duty are themselves
offenders, and aiders and abetters of law
lessness, and deserving of punish ment
