Carbondale, ILL.,, April 21-The old
Equity coal mine was flooded Wednes-
day by muskrats burrowing around the
shaft and the bank of the Saline river,
and 100 miners had a narrow escape
from drowning. The men were at work
when the alarm was given that water
was pouring into the mine. Immedi-

by the time the last men were. taken

cally ceased to exist. and this
power of the courts is entirely
lost sight of by so intelligent a
lawyer as Mr.. Garland. This
power has been used against the
Executive of a sovereign State
and with entire success. Gov.
Holden of North CarOlian, with
a regular army OF twelve thOus-
and men at his beck, was given Il
taste of this power of the judicial
department and was entirely
routed, his regular army dis
persed and himself made a fugi-
tive from justice, to be later
brought back to the State by the
process of extraditiOn and inn
Deached from his Office.
The posse comitatus being the
antithesis of militarism, it has
fallen into desuetude. 1t is even
not mentioned in these days Of
martial law, which is well enough
in times of great danger, but
should be declared only at rare
intervals and enforced with a
great deal of care, and more es-
pecially as the posse cOmitatus is
a more effective means OF enfOrc-
ing law and order.

in many instances trenched upon
the authority of the courts, as
Mr.. Garland insists is now being
done. 1t is dangerous in many
ways this assumption of power,
whether the executive or the
courts be the offender. The two
departments together have al
most extinguished the legisla-
tive branch of the government.
which is fast becoming a creature
of the executive and the play
thing of the courts.
There is, however, one portion
of Mr.. Garland's reply to the
Governor which we print this
morning, that, coming as it does
from a man learned in the law,
is remarkable as Indicating how
far We have departed from the
fundamental principles of the
government as instituted by the
fathers and maintained through
a long course of prosperous
years. In speaking of the futility
of the mandamus by the courts
on the Executive of the State,
Mr.. Garland uses this language:
"The Governor is the executive
head of the State: all the military
powers are under his control.
What force could the courts use
to compel obedience to their
mandate if he refused it? That
is why no writs issue to the
President of the United States
or Governors of sovereign
States
1t is perhaps not remarkable
that a lawyer of ability should
have lost sight of the power of
the courts to enforce their de-
crees, the military idea having
become so generally accepted of
years. Whenever the police
proves inefficient to enforce the
law in these days recourse is at
once had to martial law and the
use of the military. With a
stroke of the pen the Governor
changes the entire code of the
laws of d locality from. civil to
military. 1t would seem that
such a radical change of the law
would be a legislative function,
but it has become executive.
The power of the county" has
been so entirely lost sight OF
that it would be a matter of sur
prise should one of the sheriffs
of this or any other city attempt
to enforce the laws of the State
or the mandate of a court with
out calling upon the militia.

to do under the Terriberry law

The chimney" Reid Case.

The kinney" Reid Case.
Times Democrat, July Is.
An interesting controversy has
arisen between MI. H. L.. Gar
land, a well-known attorney of
this city. and Gov. Blanchard in
respect of the shrievalty of CAL
casieu parish. The facts in that
case are too well known to be
dwelt upon. Mr. Reid was sher-
iff of Calcasieu parish some years
ago and collected taxes which he
did not turn over to the State
and his bOndsmen had to make
good this deficiency or defalca-
ton. There is no denial of this
fact, and it was quite we'll known
when Mr.. Reid offered for and
was accepted as the Democratic
nominee in the primary election,
and when he ran for the Office of
sheriff of the parish and was
elected by the people of Calca-
sieu. 1t would be ultra wires
Of The Times Democrat to dis
cuss the fact that a majority of
the qualified electors of Cacasieu
parish voted for Mr.. Reid with a
full knowledge of all the facts
in the case. It is undeniable
that h. is the choice of the peO-
pie, however i'll that choice may
have been.
The controversy between the
Governor and Mr.. Garland re
lates to the practical veto of the
choice of the electors of Calca-
sieu by the Governor. Mr.. Gar
land holds that the eligibility or
ineligibility of a man for public
office is to be determined by the
courts and not by the Governor.
This would seem to the layman
to be a correct view of the case,
but the Governor in reply quotes
a section of a law which saws it
shall not be lawful for the Cover
nor to issue a commission to any
person who may appear to be a
defaulter by the reports on file in
his (the Governor's) Office. Here
again there is matter for the
courts to decide. It has been
generally understood that the
sheriff of Calcasieu secured a
quittance from the State by the
action of his bondsmen in making
good his shortage, and, there
fore, is not a defaulter to the
State, but to his bondsmen. 1t
is for the courts to decide wheth-
er under the circumstances he is
debarred from holding Office by
the section quoted, even though
that section be not, as MI. Gar.
: land claims it to be, subversive
: of the Constitution of the State,
which insists that the executive
and the judicial departments OF
the State shall not trench the one
upon the authority of the other.
There is no question that, un.
der one pretext or another, we
are getting further and further
{ away from this constitutions
provision, which is indeed the
J basis of our system of govern
ment. The courts have perhaps
= been the worst offenders in this
line, under the plea of necessity
: and the maintenance of public
order, but the executive has ais

EAGLES OF SCOTLAND.
Where They Build Their Nests ana
How They Feed Their Young.

How They Feed Their Young.
A writer who has studied the habits,
OF eagles among the Scottish hills says
that the birds construct their eyries to-
ward the end of March and the eggs,
which number two or three, are laid In
April. Eagles seem to prefer for a
nesting site some ancient pine with a
southern position and wide outlook or
ledge on a cliff, but this writer no
ticed that they sometimes build their
eyrles on quite small rocks where they
can be got at without much difficulty,
while all around are immense precl-
pices where mans foot has never trod.
1t has been said that the eagle will
fearlessly attack any one attempting
to rob its eggs and young, but this Is
probably much less often the case than
is generally supposed. When one of a
pair of eagles is trapped or shot the re-
naming bird has often great difficulty
in finding mate and may haunt its
nesting site for several years by itself.
While soaring round and round their
eyrie the eagles utter a musical note
somewhat similar to the cry of the wild
goose.
Young eagles when first Matched are
white balls of down. and many weeks
elapse before they are able to leave the
eyrie. Their parents supply them with
very liberal larder, consisting prlncl-
pally of ptarmigan, grouse and blue
hares. The rush of their wings as they
swoop down on their luckless prey may
on still day be heard at great dis
tance. Eagles at times will carry Off
lambs and young deer and have been
known to drive deer over precipice
and to tear them TO bits while lying
lifeless ut the foot. Sometimes they
will even condescend to bear off moles
and mice to their eyrie. Although the
eagle, as a rule. prefers to capture his
prey himself, yet at times he Is not
above feeding on the dead carcass of a
deer or sheep and often gorges himself
to such an extent that he is unable to
rise after his too hearty meal.
In most localities of Scotland where
the eagle has its home there will also
be found the noodle crow. The eagle
will seldom if ever attack the noodle,
but whenever the king of birds ven
lures too near the formers nesting
tree the angry noodles will immediate
ly drive off the intruder 1t is laugha-
BILE to see the eagle flying for dear life
before the fierce onslaughts of the en-
ragged crows, which swoop and dash
after him with shrill "craas' until he is
far from their nesting site.
