than their president the attempt to
estabysh in Arlaona, a territory in
which the people seem to have a
wrong conception of the rights and
duties of American citizenship, a new
system of Jurisprudence in which
the deliberations of the Judge^ and the
doctrines of the law shall be sub-
ject to such review as might be glv-
thefVi In the course of a heated
political campaign the purpose of
which Is to re^re the Judge from of-
fice and thus virtually repeal, insofar
as that Jurisdiction is concerned, the
operation of some doctrine of the law
which may be repugnant to the ideas
of people who have under considera-
tion only their own Immediate inter-
ests. In the case of a conflict with
the laws of the United States they
might even presume to the extent of
retiring the Judge who should seek
to make his decisions conforgn to the
same? Without discussing the an-
archy which fhlght result from re-
peated efforts to ignore the author-
ity of the federal courts, by the re-
calling of Judges who might seek to
