Letters From the People
SAYS MARTIAL LAW PREVAILED


Editor Call: The question has been
frequently asked: Was San Fran
cisco under martial law in April, 1862,
and frequently answered, as in this
mornings Call, in the negative
beg to inquire If it is. not possible
that this answer is misleading.
What is martial law? Blackstone says:
Martial law is an arbitrary law,
proceeding directly. from military
power, having no immediate constitu-
tional or legislative sanction. When
imposed upon any specified district. all
the inhabitants and all their actions
are brought within its dominion 1t
is founded on paramount necessity.
extends to civil as well as criminal
jurisdiction and is proclaimed only in
times of war, insurrection, rebellion or
other great emergency
1t is not disputed that the city was
under military. rule for some weeks
after the earthquake, and thousands of
citizens will testify that from early
morning, on the 18th, until the city
was in ruins. arbitrary authority, pro-
ceeding directly from military power.
without constitutional or legislative
sanction, bringing all the Inhabitants
and their actions within its dominion,
extending to civil and criminal juris-
diction, and proclaimed by the COM
mander at the Presidio, founded upon
paramount necessity, in a great emer-
gency, was the sole surviving pre-
vailing human rule of governmental
action. Does not this meet Blackstone.s
definition in all essential particulars?
Instances are without number where
citizens called upon the local police to
identify them and their rights to re-
move their effects from their homes
and places of business who were COM
PEELED, by force of arms, against the
protest of the police, to abandon every
thing to the flames. Inter arma silent
leges lin the midst of arms the laws
are silent). Law is only a rule of ac-
tion presuming its own power of en-
forcement. In the absence of such
power it ceases to be law
1t is true that martial law was not
formally proclaimed by official public
announcement. There was neither time
nor opportunity; everything was in
chaos. people and conditions were de-
moralized, there no longer even ex-
listed the means of communicating with
the commander In chief of the army
rendering formality impossible, if not
dispensable. But the paramount neces-
sity and great emergency were there
and the law of arbitrary action. by
military authority In aetu, without the
letter, became supreme. If that was
not martial law de jure, it certainly
was de facto. and. If there was a dis
tinction, it was distinction. without
a difference.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION IN CON-
NIrtrrg('ITT

The policy Of consolidating different
towns into districts for tho purpose
Of providing skilled and efficient SUI
pervision for schools. which was In
stituted in Vermont during the admin
istration Of Governor Proctor, was as
great n step in advance as was the
substitution of tho town system or
school control for tho small district
system. II is noteworthy, however,
that Connecticut has not been able to
adopt tho town system throughout
the state and until the present year
the system has prevailed only in part
Of the towns.
According to the Hartford Times a
bill providing for tho placing of pub
lie schools under town management
instead OF district control except In
towns in which there are boroughs or
cities. has passed the Legislature Of
tho Nutmeg state and received execu-
tive approval
It's plain purpose ia to effect the
abolition, to MS complete an extent as
seems Immediately possible, Of district
management OF schools as n feature
Of tho educational system. of that
Statc--a feature thnt exists IN tho
school system Of no other state In tho
Union. In substance It Is literally a
measure Of compulsory consolidation.
affecting directly large number OF
Connecticut towns
The effect Of tho new law. which
will become operative on July Is viii
be to abolish all school districts and
substitute town management for dis
trict management In no less than fifty
eight towns. Its provisions viii not.
OF course, directly and visihly. affect
such towns as have already CONSOLE
dated their school districts. These
towns have long constituted a major
ity Of the whole number Of the towns
of the state. To be exact, the num-
Der Of consolidated towns at present
IL %. while there are &c towns I'm
which the dstric: system exists.
After the new law taken effect there
will be. throughout the length and
breadth Of Connecticut, small rem
nant Of only eighteen towns In which
the district system will continue, for
n time, to exist. Our New England
ne,ghbors Of Connecticut are to he
congratulated on this step In adj
vance. Now II they will modify their
