New Orleans States: Every mar

New Orleans States: Every man,
woman and child in the city knows
that our criminal laws and prosecu-
tions are utter failures. So much is
this a notorious fact that our prose-
cutions of criminals have become a
mockery; papers outside of the State
have ceased to treat US seriously and
are beginning to ridicule US, and one
of considerable prominence has sug-
gested that the most roaring farce
any playwright could compose at this
time would be on the enforcement of
criminal justice in New Orleans.

OWEN In FLORIDA. In A GOOD Cause.
Democratic Campaign IIs
Running Itself.
BUTT IS DOING VERY WELL
Yesterday Was the Last Day In Which
to File Nominations.

Chairman Owen is In Fiorids and the
Democratic campaign is taking care Of II.
self. East Green wich, jamestown, Johns
ton, Little Compton, Middletown, Ports
mouth, Smithfisld, Warren aud West
Greenwich have failed TO file Democratic
nominations.
Outside of the two latter places they
have not lost anything by II, but even ad-
mittIng this to be so, nominations should
be made In every town, 80 that some local
interest would be engeudered and thereby
help the State ticket.
Now that plurality elections are In
force every vote counts and no point
should be let slip by good campaigners.
How Secretary Conley allowed Warren to
go by default is beyond comprehension.
Both the Central Falls tickets ere late
I'm reaching the Office OF the Secretary OF
State. The Democrats have an excellent
ticket although II was supposed that DR..
Gottschalk would be the candidate for
Senator, but Monday he declined. How
ever, good man has been secured In the
person OF Crawford Fairbanks.
The Assembl ticket Is one of the best
ever selected and consists OF George w.
Burnham, John II. Peacock and James +.
Murphy. The Republicans have one new
man on their ticket and as finally made
up stands thus:
Il. l.. Freeman for Senator, John M.
Fournier, Myron Fish and Leroy Fales
for Representatives.
There was quite q contest for the three
places, SO much SO that an executive ses-
sion was helo by motion or order of John
II. Dennis to settle the difficulty.
With united and determined action the
Democracy can send men OF honor and
learning to the Legislature and help re.
deem the State by retiring one OF the viii.

Supreme Court Decides
The Question Today.
SIGNATURES WERE LEGAL.
Chief Justice Matteson Presided and
Decision Was Unanimous.

The matter Of inserting the question Of
license or no license in the warrant for
the coming election OF State officers was
taken to the Supreme Court for the pur-
pose of settling the question OF whether
the signatures on the petition are legal.
Chairman Rey. George j. Bloomfield, OF
the committee that prepared and cfrcu.
lated the petitions, called on City Clerk
Sibley yesterday after hearing that Of
fcial's decision In regard to the names
signed with initials. He was accompanied
by Robert Cushman, and when informed
by City Clerk Sibley of his decision, he
said the matter would be taken to the
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Sibley told him that be hoped he
would take it to the court to decide, as
he would then have O ruling to decide by
In future. He said he thought he had
done what was right and would like to
have decision OF the court.
Mr.. Cushman then immediately took
steps to bring the matter before the court
and Messrs. Williams and Tower. prepared
petition to the Appellate Division OF the
Supreme Court later in the afternoon ask.
ing for writ of mandamus to compel
City Clerk Sibley to insert in the warrant
for calling the ward meetings for the
election to be held April 3 the PROPOSE
tioD to submit the question: "Shsll license
be granted for the sale OF Intoxicating
liquors in Pawtucket 2" to the voters and
also compel him to file with the Secretary
Of State certificate to the Ieffect that 10
per cent OF the electors OF the city have
requested that such question be submit
ted to the people.
A citation was issued retIrnable at 10
o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Bloomfield had not much to say
about the matter and thought there would
be nothing new for day or two. He
said Mr.. Sibley would have to give a
satisfactory reason for throwing out
names for the reason that only the initials
were written. He had signed his name
GO. J. Bloomfield" and Rev. Mr.. Wooiley
had signed ~. j. Woolley." He believed
that Mr.. Sibiey knew the signatures and
also knew that there are no other persons
Of the same name In the city, therefore It
was decided to settle the matter before
the court.
At 10 O'Clock today tho matter was
heard In the Supreme Court and after q
hearing lasting one hour decision was
handed down directing City Clerk Sibley
to have the clause inserted In the war
rant calling for vote on the question OF
license or no license.
He was also directed to certify the same
to the Secretary of State, and have the
matter placed upon the official ballot.
Chief Justice Matteson presided and
Justices Stiness and Tillinghast were as
so,ioted with him. The decision was
unanimous.
