active in the conduct of an ad-

A practice has, for several years
been prevalent in St. Landry,
among certain class of people,
of attending social gatherings,
such as country balls, for the
avowed purpose of breaking them
up. Many homicides have been
the result, and the Courts put to
the trouble and the parish to the
expense of hearing and trying per-
sons accused of them. The habit
of these outlaws has become so
uniform at such gatherings, that
better citizens are resorting to
severe preventives. These hood
lums run to the Courts for what
they are pleased to consider
the law in such cases, and the
juries gre becoming wise enough
to give them wholesome measures
of Justice, which is the soul of the
law. They opine that outlaws
have no right to molest peaceable
gatherings by acts of malicious
violence and we think they should
be taught that juries are no refuge
for their defence. We favor the
rigid enforcement of the criminal
laws where to enforc it does not
involve the protection of hood
lums in their malicious ane
wicked purposes to outrage good
citizens in their social gatherings.
These certainly have greater
right to protect themselves than
outlaws have to deny them the
protection of the laws in their in
nocent social amusements.

Saloon License Raised.

That the excessive use of alco-
holic drinks leads to crime, is
universally conceded. That easy
access to it leads to excessive in
diligence is equally conceded. For
many years the towns and the
country have been thickly dotted
with saloons, the consequence has
been'a flood of all grades of crime,
and increasing expense in the trial
of offenders. This is not all, de-
precable as it is. Many criminals
have their consorts, and as often
as they are brought to trial, per-
jury and subornation of perjury
are resorted to, to make defense.
The consequence has been that
judges are powerless. Juries are
corrupted to a sufficient extent to
defeat the ends of justice, and the
acquittal of criminals becomes the
license of crime.
The condition of society has
become deplorable and there is
no remedy as matters stand, but
retaliatory crime. Such has been
the course of events in the trend
and wake of crime until the life
of good citizen is very often inn
perrilled by efforts to have out
laws punished. Human life is no
longer as safe from violence, lis a
hog or a COW, or a horse is from
being stolen. Thieves are some
times promptly punished but
homicides may always hope to es-
cape. If the excessive indulgence
in the use of Intoxicating liquors
can be avoided, the list of crimes
may be greatly abbreviated, the
public expense may be diminished
and good citizens may enjoy re-
pose from apprehensions of
malicious violence. The Police
| Jury has, in our deliberate opinion
acted wisely in raising the license
of saloons to $4,000. Let the ex-
pertinent be fairly made, and we
shall be very greatly surprised and
sadly disappointed if results dc
not justify their action, even
beyond the present expectations
