Parker OR HEARST?

From all present indications the
two leading candidates before the
Democratic National Nominating
Convention will be Judge Alton B.
Parker and Congressman VIM. r.
Hearst. Both of these gentlemen
are from New York and both are
equally worthy of the high honor.
We regret to notice upon tue part Of
a number of reputable democratic
journals "a disposition to belit:le
Hearst and laud Parker to the skies.
1t is evident that this is a case Of
personal preference, merely. for
neither Of these gentlemen enjoy any
special prominence as STATESMEN.
1t is rank nonsense for the friends Of
Judge Parker to employ the literary
bureau style of..exploiting their can
didate and bis fitness and at the
same time deny TO Mr.. Hearst and
his friends the same privilege and
denounce them for seeking to make
converts. There is at best only a
slim chance Of Democratic success
this fall and In order to inspire hope
and courage the party must get
together. There can be no harmony
in the party with n wing of it
calling the other names. The Hill
Cleveland wing is largely in the mi
nority, they cannot carry the North
without the aid Of the Bayan Demo-
Gratis. hence they should condemn
less and councilaate more.

WILL BE TRIED OVER.

ed down the following decision in
the case brought by the School
Board against Sheriff Hebert:
Parish Board of school Directors
VS.. J. 0. Hebert, Sheriff.. The
purpose of Article 100 OF the Con-
stitution is the limit the amount to be
paid by each parish to its sheriff for
his services (save with respects to
specially %mentioned) in all criminal
matters, and under no circumstances
can the parish be made liable beyond
the limit so fixed. The purpose Of
ActNo.203 of 1898 in providing that
''sheriffs are hereby allowed the same
fees as fixed in civil matters, when a
defendant is convicted and cOndem-
ned to pay COSTS" is 10 allow The
Sheriff, in addition to the lump sum
to be paid by the parish, for all
| criminal cases, certain fees in par
ticular cases, which are to be recov-
cred as costs from the convicted
defendants. These purposes do not
conflict with each other. 2. Under
the law (Act 8 Of 1860 in existence
prior to the adoption of the present
Constitution, clerks of district courts
were entitled to charge fees in crimi-
nal cases and to collect the same
from the parishes when the defen.
dants were acquitted or the prose-
cutlons abandoned; but where con-
victions were obtained they ob-
liged to look solely to the convicted
defendants and collect their fees as
costs following the judgments OF con-
viction. Particle 1872 Of the Consti-
tuition provides that the Clerk 'sshall
receive no compensation from the
State or parish for his services in
criminal matters" and the pre-exist-
ing law is thereby affected to the
extent, but no farther, that in no
event a the Clerk look to the State
or parish for bis fees in a criminal
case. The Act No SO of 1876. insofar
as it authorizes the Clerk to receive
costs from convicted defendants. is
entirely unaffected by Act No. 202
of 1898, which relates to costs of
different officers in civil matters, and
costs Of sherlffs in criminal cases. 5.
The costs Of a criminal prosecution
rests upon the convicted defendant,
whether expressed or no.; they from
NO part Of the judgment and are not
to be included in estimating, for the
purpose Of an appeal, the amount of
a fine; hence, a sentence imposing a
fine for a specific amount, as inclusive
Of COSTS" is highly Objectionable;
and when in such case a controversy
arises between the sheriff and the
Clerk. seeking, on the one hand to
recover costs which are collectable
only from the convicted defendant,
aad the Parish School Borrd seeking,
on the other hand to recover the fine,
which incurs to its benefit, it must
be held that the whole amount for
which the defendants is condemned is
intended as a fine and goes to the
School Board. 1t is, therefore, or
dered, adjudged and decreed that,
insofar as the judgment appealed
from recognizes the right of the
Sheriff to recover costs, in cases in
which the sentences imposed ia il to
distinguish between fines and costs,
and insofar as it denies the right Of
the Clerk to recover costs in cases
in which such distinc ton is made,
the same is hereby annulled, avoided
