There is no justification for it
The article of the Sstate Constitut-
ton above quoted has been violated
in two particulars by the present SUI
preme Court in the case referred to
(Nhite VS. Auditor, 126 n. C.,s570)
1t will be noted that it vests the
original jurisdiction" Of all claims
against the State in the Supreme
Court. Notwithstanding this provis-
ion the court, on vote OF its three Re-
publican members, affirmed the act
Of a Superior Court Judge (Starbuck)
in taking jurisdiction Of such a claim.
This is paIpable violation of the Con-
stitution, No. /.
The same article of the constitution
further says the decision OF the SUI
preme Court upon claims against the
State "SHALL BE MERELY RECON-
MANDATORY: no PROCESS IN THE
NATURE or EXECUTION SHALL
ISSUE THEREON; THEY SHALL BE
REPORTED TO THE NEXT SESSION
OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FOR
IT'S ACTION
In the face Of this express letter
of the Constitution the Supreme court
(by vote of its three Republican
iudges) issued it's mandamus to the
State Auditor as follows:
You are hereby commanded abso-
mtely and peremptorily, without de-
lay. to proceed to audit said accounts
upon their being presented to you.
and that you at once, upon auditing
the same. issue warrants therefor
upon the State Treasurer"
And without taking breath at the
same instant, they issued this order
10 the State Treasurer:
you are commanded absolutely
and peremptorily. without delay. TO
pay the warrants issueR by the State
Auditor on YOU as State Treasurer in
favor OF the plaintiff ITheophiIus
Whitel. and that in all things you
comply with and obey the mandates
and requirements Of this writ. and
that herein you fail not at your peril
Now read the above plain provis-
ion Of the Constitution forbidding any
court to take jurisdiction except the
Supreme Court and forbidding that
court to issue any process in the ma
ture of execution and requiring its de-
cisions 10 be submitted 10 the Legis-
lature for its action. Then read the
above imperative order of the court to
the State officials intrusted with the
States money to hand it over to The
ophilus White, and say II any consti-
tutional provision could be more de-
-. -
the three Republican Judges Of the
court in the above order.
1T is palpabe violation Of the Con-
stitution, No. 2.
Another abuse OF the Constitution
Cart. XIV, Sec. 80 provides, NC
money shall be drawn from the treas.
ury but in consequence Of appropria-
tons made by law As result o1
the absolute. peremptory and with
out delay order Of the court, The
ophilus White has drawn several hun
dred dollars from the State Treasury
not only without any appropriation
made by law. but in defiance OF {
salute forbidding the Treasurer tC
pay him.
This is palpable violation of the con
stitution, No. ,.

An Appeal to Business Men.

Under the above heading Hon
G. G Conn of Elkhart, Indiana
has had printed pamphlet which
he IS spreading broadcast, more cs
pecially among the press OF the
country.
1t is an argument intended to
convince the American citizen that
periodical occurrences of 9'hard
times can be prevented by taking
the Tariff and the money questions
out of politics and placing them in
the management of a commission
composed entirely of business men.
The pamphlet goes on to say:
The tariff and money questions
Belong to the business world They
are prime factors III regulating the
pay of wage earners, and in fixing
the prices of everything bought
and sold, aud their Importance in
influencing the steady upward ten.
dency of business growth demands
that they be treated as business
propositions. Let us see why.
Nhen a business man discovers an
error in his methods, he does not
keep on making the same mistake,
but finds n way TO correct it and |
recover his losses. In politics, the
reverse OF this sensible way of do.
ing is an invaliable rule. Turn to
1898 for an example. In that year,
a democratic congress began to re
wise the tariff on lines of tariff
for revenue only. The work was
done by inexperienced politicians,
whose lack of knowledge on that
intricate subject made Il very bad
tariff law considerably worse, and
inflicted serious injury to the in
dustfies of the country. Had the
revision been made by a non part

from Mayor Bronssard, arrested

ing. The details Of that trial viii
be seen in another column.
This question Is a serious one.
We have a number Of worthless
negroes in New Iberia whose sole
occupation seems to be to gamble
with and rob the working negro of
the money earned at rice cutting.
coal loading or some other hard
work. The working negro, like the
working white, is portion of the
bone and sinew Of our country.
The idle, loafing, gambling negro
is parasite, a drone, drawback
to the city and should be arrested
and made to clean our cutters and
streets if he will not work honestly
to feed himself. If this is not a
sufficient lesson, then he should be
made to leave.
It's this class Of negroes who
become insolcnt, abusive, obnoX-
ious. 1t is this class which have
ever on their lips oaths, obscene
language, vicious retorts. Ii is
this class which furnishes the burg
lars, the murdcrers, the convicts
1t is altogether an undesirable class.
Mayor Broussard on Tuesday

reasons, gave the as arrested per

and all Of their class have not |
found work and are not at work,
then they will be arrested and
stringently dealt with according to
law.
In the course Of the examination,
the fact was developed that Mr..
Jack Davis was requested to head
a committee to organize to punish
this class OF ncgroes-the negro
who makes the sidewalks the place
for obscene, Boosting etc. To these
good, but impatient citizens,
we counsel moderation. We beg

Plan Being Considered for Reducing

The directors of Kamalo plantation
are formulating a plan to be laid before
the stockholders for a reduction of the
capitalization of the company. 1t is be-
leved that If this can be done a better
feeling in relation to the stock will
prevail. SO much stock is now held in
the treasury that the burden of develop
ing the plantation falls on a portion of
the assessable stock less than the
whole. with the capitalization reduc-
ed on some equitable and satisfactory
basis it is believed the burden will be
easily met.
