[Footnote 4109: Today, in 1999, we may in Denmark observe how the
contemporary oligarchy of non-violent Jacobins, have transformed the
local authorities into tools of the central government which through an
all permeating administration, has replaced the authority of the
father and the solidarity of the family with a communal care and
supervision.(SR.).]

[Footnote 4110: Syndicates of this kind are instituted by the law of
June 25, 1865, "between proprietors interested in the execution
and maintenance of public works: 1st, Protection against the sea,
inundations, torrents, and navigable or non-navigable rivers; 2d,
Works in deepening, repairing, and regulating canals and non-navigable
water-courses, and ditches for draining and irrigation; 3d, Works for
the drainage of marshes; 4th, Locks and other provisions necessary
in working salt marshes; 5th, Drainage of wet and unhealthy
ground."--"Proprietors interested in the execution of the
above-mentioned works may unite in an authorized syndical company,
either on the demand of one or of several among them, or on the
initiative of the prefect."--(Instead of authorized, we must read
forced, and we then find that the association may be imposed on all
interested parties, on the demand of one alone, or even without any
one's demand.)--Like the Annecy building, these syndicates enable one to
reach the fundamental element of local society. Cf. the law of September
26, 1807 (on the drainage of marshes), and the law of April 21, 1810 (on
mines and the two owners of the mine, one of the surface and the other
of the subsoil, both likewise partners, and no less forcibly so through
physical solidarity.)]

[Footnote 4112: Two kinds of police must be distinguished one from the
other. The first is general and belongs to the State: its business is to
repress and prevent, outside and inside, all aggression against private
and public property. The second is municipal, and belongs to the local
society: its business is to see to the proper use of the public roads,
and other matters, which, like water, air, and light, are enjoyed in
common; it undertakes, also, to forestall the risks and dangers of
imprudence, negligence, and filth, which any aggregation of men never
fails to engender. The provinces of these two police forces join and
penetrate eac
