EXTENT OF BRooKEs POWER.

New Orleans, Aug. 27.-It is i'm
possible to exaggerate the interest
taken in legal circles in New Orleans
in the case Of the man Cox, fugitive
from justice in Havana. At the proper
moment vigorous legal battle against
the prisoners return VIII be raised.
1t is argued that General Brooke is a
military governor of CuSa. and has no
power over civil matters. AS between
the civil governments of Cuba and the
United States there is no extraditfon
treaty and a recent decision of the
United States supreme court held that
the president of the United States had
no authority to grant extradition by
courtesy to a foreign country.
In case force is used and the man
is delivered to General Brooke in Ha-
vana, it is he'd that such action will
in itself be an impression upon Cuban
independence and another step to-
ward the annexation of the island
Habeas corpus was denied by the
state courts and the case is now in
the hands of the United States dis
trict attorney. 1t is claimed that the
attorneys representing Cox are
simply a cover for a veTitable pha-
lanx of legal lights who will fight the
constitutional battle

IS CUBA A NATION !?
Raised in a LOuiSi-
ana FxirddifiOn Case.
Committed in Havana Contends
That There Is no Authority TO
Send Him There for Trial.

New Orleans, Aug. 27.-The case OF
Cox, under arrest here charged with
embezzling $1,000 in Havana, which
will come before the New Orleans
criminal court tomorrow, promises 10
be mc2t interesting, turning as ii
does on the relations existing between
the United States and Cuba The
direction of the department of justice,
will take part in it, although the mat
ter is before a state court.
Cox is an American, and he pre-
pared a directory of Havana He is
charged with having embezzled 81 800
and the case WAS taken before one Of
the courts of Havana. The New Or
leans police were asked to arrest and
hold him, which they did. The neces-
sary papers for his extradition, signed
by General Brooke, as governor gen.
eral of Cuba, were forwarded to Wash
ington.
Cox through his attorneys has re-
sisted all the efforts to send him back
10 Cuba. The objections raised by
him are that Cuba is an independent
nation under the resolutions adopted
by congress, and the terms of our de-
claration of war against SPAIN that
it is not a part of the United States,
even if occupied by American troops,
and not bound by laws cf the United
States; that we have no extradition
treaty with Cuba, and that the mill
tary authorities now administering
the affairs of the island are not the
civil government
It will be seen that the trial calls
upon the United States to explain by
what title the island is held and what
is the exact status and authority of
the American military officers in COM
mand there. The United States dis
trict attorney has for these reasons in
tervened in the case and will con-
tend that under present conditions a
criminal captured in Cuba or the
United States can be returned to the
place where he committed the offense
Cox's lawyers have made arrange
ments to transfer the case from the
state court to the United States courts
if the decision is against him.

"A rough estimate of the New

of the fire will lose very heavily.

Thursday, and failed to appear in
court, was arrested on q bench
warrant, brought in court, and the
Judge fined him ten dollars and
costs.
1t looks strange to see how
many of our people are opposed
to capital punishment, when
brought in court in a serious and
long trial. The others have form
ed their opinion on nothing at all;
we believe it is simply an excuse
to dodge the jury duty, and if the
Judge would only give the "opin-
ion formed" jurors ten days in
Jail or ten dollars fine he would
soon cure them of this bad habit,
and would do away with that ly-

Ignorance and Jury Duty.

Last week the lawyers wrangled
for one whole day trying to have
the true bills returned in the case
of the Angeles quashed on the
ground that when the investiga-
ton and dcliberation of the case
was made, there was not quorum
present, this plea was taken
by defendants lawyers in order to
save time, on the report or the say
of the only ignorant or illeterate
juror, who was slipped in the
grand jury because the commits
sioners did not know that the man
Daigle could not read. He could
not read, he proved to be very
ignorant, because, he testified
when brought in court, that he
knew everything and yet knew
nothing because he was not posi-
tive of anything. He did not
know, that there was a quorum
present, he did not believe q quo
rum was present and such stupi-
dities, while the other jurors, in
telligent men, all came in court
and swore to the fact that q quo
rum was always present in the
grand jury when investigation was
being made.
The Judge over ruled the mo-
ton to quash the indictment.

The Seller VS. The BUYER.

The Seller VS. Inc buyer.
We hear almost every day, some
times several times during the
day, discussions upon the price
that the cotton buyers of this
town are paying to the planters
for their seed cotton.
We are of the opinion that there
is too much talk, too much blow
ing on the part of the people and
too little action. We have no
doubt that if the Iberia buyers can
pay cotton, as they are paying
now, that our cotton buyers can
also pay the same price, as we can
not believe that the Iberia specu-
lators in cotton would be foolish
enough to buy cotton at $2l, SO for
the pleasure of losing money, no,
we must therefore suppose that at
that price they have fair margin
of profit.
Our buyers here seem to have
agreed to pay the same price,
therefore they have no competi-
tion, and pay $l8 when the small
est buyers elsewhere pay more,
but is this not human nature? Are
we not to expect the buyer to buy
at the lowest figures he can, and
the seller to try and sell at the
highest prices?
Why should the cotton buyers
pay more for cotton simply to help
the trade of the town. We know
of good many of the very loud
est GROWERS who never give a
quarter for the good of their town
when called upon to do 80. but
they can always find fault with
their neighbors.
We are not the champion of the
cotton buyers of this town, we do
not approve of their methods of
doing business, but We cannot
rightfully dispute them the privi-
ledge of conducting their business
according to their own ideas.
Some people are satisfied with a
small margin of profits, others are
greedy, apparently, but give all
the same chance, and you are sure
they will take the earth, with per-
haps no exception at all.
If the merchants want to help |
the cotton producers and help
themselves at the same time, let
them take measures to establish a
cotton agency for Iberia or some
other firms which are paying more,
it they will do that, we will pro-
cure them scale and switch free
of charge.
Competition is the remedy to
increase or lower prices, criticism
will never do that.
What the cotton buyers are do
ing here, all the GROWERS would
probably do the same thing if
placed in the same position.
Therefore, stop your talk, and do
a little action. by buying cotton,
at a higher price for some of the
outside concerns, and we are sure
