The present Legislature may not

its first session, any law which will !
commend that body to the notice of j
posterity, but there is one thing which j
it did, which entities it to no little i
credit?it killed the proposition for a :
constitutional convention.
Congress should pass an inler-Slate !
commerce bill during the present ses- j
sion if it does nothing else. Experi
ence has shown that the railroads u-.u&t j
be restrained, and the recent decision j
of the Supreme Court of the United j
States rendering State legislation on ;
the subiect uractically nugatory makes !
:t the imperative duty of Congress to
take the matter in hand.
The Xew York State Woman'? Suffrage
Association has entered its em- !
phatic protest against the execution of
Mrs. Druse. The protest is based
solely |on the ground that it is cruel
and unjust to hold women to full
accountability for their actions in violating
laws, so long as they are not
allowed to have any part in framing
those laws. It is urged that they
should be treated as adult citizens or
as children.
Some of the Democratic newspapers
are trying to drive Henry Watterson
into the Republican party, but the
wilylventuckian seems very unwilling
to take his place in that fold. He says
in substance that he won't support

he expects to remain in the old Democratic
ship until (just before) she goes
down. He writes much better English
than the late Senator Logan, and

ivi; Or re vx is eight \ of age
and has entered npon his second sevenyears
term as President of the French
Republic. Mr. Gladstone is seventyseven
and daily looking for Lord
Salisbury to break down in order that
be may again assume the government
of the British Empire. Von Molike is
eighty eight ami looking forward to
the time when he will have to meet
the French again at Sedan. It would
seem that the average age of public
men in Europe is something higher
than in this country, at least the period

The "Picture of the State," in the
Ifeics and Courier of the 1st ins:ant,
is perhaps not quite as regular in outline
as an ardent lover would wish to
see of his mistress, but it is withal a
pretty accurate likeness, and it is this
feature that will give to it just now a
SDeciai interest. Like the mariner, i
tossed on an unknown sea, we have
occasion first of all to find out exactiy
where we are. A new point of departure
may then be selected with
**J8ore assurance. The needed infortnationVma

We ?ot advise anybody
!^?ith statistics
but the people or tins State can afford
to give this paper a very careful consideration,
first, because "it is our
business," and secondly, because it is
neatly and compendiously gotten up,
leaving but little room for dispute
about the facts among those'who are
competent to pass judgment.

ing for the newspapers for, say at,
least, six months, unless he should i
find out iu the meantime that he ac- j
tualiy had something to say. There is j
one other thing too that he should j
strive to neglect, and that is his very i
homely habit of denouncing farmers, j
without distinction, as puppets and i
fool?. Following the pursuit of agri-1
culture, we have many men of real j
ability, and it were remarkable indeed I
if they should be found minus of allj

at all that good advice should occasionally
come from an unexpected
quarter, and it can't be said [hat this
is owing altogether to the cheapness
of the commodity either. But of this
we will not make any appraisement.
As Capt. Tillman may not appreciate j
it, we will simply leave hiai to take it
at what he may think it is worth, |
knowing as we do, that if he err in j
the matter, time will reverse his judg- ,
ment, just as mercilessly as though ,
he were the humblest citizen in his ,
county.

Mr. Henry Labouchere is probably
the most?brilliant living journalist.
He is the editor of the London Truth,
(?* .
a member of Parliament and an unoomprtfinising
liepublieau. He is an
unrelenting foe of the British aristocracy,
and his assaults upon the
House of Lords in the-columns of 9ns
paper and other periodicals have led
less inquiring spirits than his to ask,
jTnmliftwI J-i ii fhr> fvirfh
tlie American people, schooled in
jStliecmaxinis of liberty, it is simply a
monstrosity. The unsophisticated
genius of pnre Democracy will never
comprehend the proposition that one
man may be born to the position of a
law-maker, may inherit the right to
rule his fellows.
Mv. Labouchcre may not ISve to witness
the reforms which he advocates,
but it is clear thai the House of Lords
must bring itself into harmony with
modern thought by becoming elective,
or it must go.
A Calamity that Jlay Come.
Poverty is a hard master, the truth
is illustrated in more ways than one,
and it holds good in the lives of nations
wpII individuals. 1r co hannons
just now that we have in this country
a great many poor people. And the
truth of our hard situation may be
most unpleasantly brought home to us
at at any moment. If a European
conflict were precipitated at this time,
bread and meat, the necessities of life,
would at once be placed beyond the
reach of probably three-fourths of the
people in the South. High price?, no
money and no credit, a hard situation
indeed.
It is rather disagreeable to have to
acknowledge the truth that the happi
ness of our people, if not more than
this, depends at this time upon the
possible caprice of some European
princeling; that the fruits of our industry
for the next twelve months
may be turned to ashes by a possible
conflict between the "Powers" to determine
whether British, Austrian or
Russian influence shall predominate in
the Principality of Bul^aria^^^
remedy for all this, or rn_tA\ *-riicway
to avoid su'-.b a possible calamity, is to
prepaid 10 live at home. Until we are
to do this, we have a selfish reason
for praying that "the peace of
Europe may be preserved."
The ?Jase of Cluverins.
The 14th inst. is, we believe, the day {
set apart tor the execution of Cluve
rius, the condemned murderer of
Fannie Lillian Madison. The evidence
which goes to establish lii.s ^uilt is
circumstantial entirely; no living witness
saw him commit the deed, and
under the laws of Virginia even he
was an incompetent witness in his own
behalf. The strongest circumstance
in the chain of evidence against the
accusctT WcTsT that in* relation to the
watch key which was picked up at the
reservoir, in which the girl was
drowned. A jeweler testified that he
had fixed a key similar to this for the
defendant, and described the nature of
his work, whieh was inside the key.
it wis opened ana the testimony-ot
the jeweler verified. This fixed the
ownership of the !-:ep upon CluverJus
to a dead moral certainly. And this
ownership he had strenuously denied.
Be lie guilty or innocent of the murder
of this i;irl. tolerably certain
'il3 Jii^Tied about" the keyT^TnG'"
circumstance of his lying, however, is
not altogether inconsistent with his
innocence or with the theory urged by
the defence that the girl had committed
suicide. Humanity, even when innocent.
shrinks from criminating circumstances
and assuming the innocence
of the defendant here, it is not
unreasonable that he should have de
niea trie Key wncn it controntea mm
in connection wiih the corpse, the
resorvoir and the evidences of a struggle.
It is to be regretted that he was not
allowed to testify in his own behalf.
The world would be the better satisfied
to have heard his story.
Shall Women be Vanished Capitally?
If the press may be relied 011 lo
fairly reflect public opinion, the moral
sense of the nation has about answered
the question in the negative. True, i
some serious constitutional objections !
against allowing such partial immu-!
nitv liavc been promptly brought for-J
ward, but they have not been accepted j
everywhere as conclusive and the mat- |
ter may therefore be regarded as legit- |
imatcly within the province of legisla-1
tion. What should be done about it?
The question has many sides, some of
which are not a little curious. The
law may be stem as fate, and justice ,
as blind as a bat, but the idea of a '
beautiful damsel being suspended from !
die "ignominious tree" must of neees- j
sity be very unpaiatable to the Amen j
can mind. We do not belong to that:
class of philosophers (and we speak j
of ourselves in this connection with all .
modesty) ^vho believe in abolishing
.... ... '
all distinctions simply because none j
exists between tweedlcdom and twee- j
illedee. t n the contrary we believe '
it to be a parr of advancing civilization
t<> asvr! ail the Matures re>uk> of
ililfcrenoe wherever difference i- tonnd.
But it i> notorious that women are not
h.dr' so wicked a- men, and wiiv then
apoo the very face of the question
mav the conclusion not be drawn that
their vices do not cail for such heroic
measures of repression?
Over and above ali other con*id oration,
however, i< the undeniable tact
that tl.e practice of hanging them
retards the <rro\v!b r*f ai! contirn?i,tc
jf gallant.*y in thoi 1* hangmrn. Wei
lo not commit ourselves to the posi- j
lion that capital punishment is good !
for juivoiie, in fact the bem-fioence thatj
lieie i* in it in any case is so tffectu- j
j ally disguised thai. we have never been \
! able to see it with satisfactory clear- j
ne:*s. But if we must have it then |
there is certainly no need to carry it j
i farther than the iiecessities of societv I
J
j demand.
The Law of Costs and Fee?.
A good deal has been said of lare
jvbout the law in relation to costs and
I fees of Court officials. An unsuccessful
effort was made In our last Legislature
to .secure the passage of a bill
amending the same. The text of this
bill was never uublished, and we have
*
! therefore no means of judging of its
| merits. It must be admitted that the
| law as it stands is defeclive ?more
especially in this, that its provisions
are liable to be much abused by shysters
and such others as have, unfortu;
nately become deaf to all the whisper|
ings of conscience. This should not
; be so. Abuses should be corrected
i wherever they have appeared.
But the tone and temper of those
I who have assumed to speak and to
i write about the matter lately, indicate
a total misapprehension of the task
that is set befo then?. The law ma"
be all evil, but it is a necessary evil.
Ii" the stubborn and the litigious refuse
to yield to the just demands of others,
they must be made to do so, and the
creditor having gone to great trouble
to e&tablish his claim, the party in
default should pav all costs and expenses.
When this issue is fairly submilted
to the peo 1c there will be no
uncertainty in the answer that is given.
um i- i i\ : . v.
>v nm is ivanieu <nen, is su';n umcnumentaswill
secure the law from unwarrantable
abuses.
But earnest reformers cau hope to
gain nothing' by misrepresentation.
Exposure will foice thvin to yield along
with the untenable much tbat is really
sound. An exainpie of this method of
attack in the present war on costs is
at hand. The Charlotte Chronicle
complaining of the laws of this State,
cnvc thflf ft oArfniM firm in fh.lt. eitv
brought suit against a New York coinpany
having property in Lancaster,
S. C. The property was attached.
The Charlotte firm lost the case, and
had the fellowing bill of costs to pay:
Sheriffs $11.25, Appraisers $2.50, Defendants'
attorney $4.00, Clerk ?3.50,
total $21.25; and to this is artlessly
added fee of Plaintiffs' attorney
$.15.00, making in all $36.25, and this
was taken as a satisfactory basis for a
tirade against the ^aws^of this State.
isc ffnat the laws of tills State J
Tiave to do with the fee of $15 which the
plaintiffs (the Charlotte firm) paid to
their attorneys, it is difficult for an
obtuse South Carolinian to see. Moreover
the costs in this case were not a
cent more than might have been expected.
It appears that the sheriff
was obliged to ride a distance of eighty
miles, and it is well known that attach- |
ment proceedings involve a good deal of
work generally. Tne fact that the legal
gentleman from Charlotte were beaten
out by their brethren down this way,
can form no just cause of complaint.
If the North Carolina papers have to <
kick up a fuss every time that takes
place, therecan be no telling when they ,
will be found in a good humor.
Ins^Jar as our laws in relation to j
defective they should be ]
amended, and the lawyers in the Leg- ]
islatnre should not be behind non-pro
fessional men in the matter. They
owe it to themselves to *-ee to if, that
there is no just cause for heaping reproach
on their profession. If the
letter of the law is all right, then be it
enacted that grievous abuses must
cease at once and sine die.
The question has come and it will
stay for treatment. There is no donbt
about it
Paper. i
We arc indebted to Mr. Ilenry
George for a copy of the lirst issue of
his paper, the Standard. It is a
lifliidcnmniv nn sir-fiolnrnn
quarto shed, and tv> say that Mr.
George is editor renders needless the
observation that it is a vary readable
journal.
The editor is well known to the
world as the author of "Progress and
Poverty," "Social Problems," and
other works, lie is a bold thinker
and an uncompromising reformer.
Mr. George frankly says in his salutatory
that his peculiar social and polifical
views will be advocated in the
the columns of his paper. Leaving
for a time the position of apolitical
philosopher, therefore, he assumes the
position of a political agitator, and the
gospel which he preaches has the virtue
of being original, though it may be
wanting in the essentials of orthodoxy.
The proposal, for instance, for the
abolition of private property in land
is one wnicn suocks tne conservatism i
of a people who have inherited the !
traditions of a modified feudalism, and
who have grown np in the conviction
that the institutions which they sec
around them have been the means by
which mankind have achieved and
preserved tne results of civilization.
It is not therefore a matter for surprise
that Mr. George's doctrines
should meet with a,passionate opposition,
that he should te classed wiih
the Nihilists, the Anarchists ana the
Communists and that the rallying
word ol hi? opponents should be, "To
r ~i... 5*
su% e bucict\.
It is but fair, however, to the "San
Francisco prophet" to say that he has
nothing in common with these apostles
of the new dispensation whose venal
creed may be dimmed up in the sensualist
dogma, "Let us cat and drink
for lu-morrow we die."
On th* contrarv, Mr. George would
scrupulously preserve to individuals
ilie fruit?" of individual eflort. His is j
a gospel of utouian optimism which
look* forward to the dav of peace and
plenty. when poverty shail have disappeared
from the earth. As to
whether Miis is a possible achievement
in the progress wf huma.ary we will
venture no opinion, merely remarking
in passing that the problem ot '.hipressure
<>f population upon 1 homeans
of subsistence has neve-- been
<tifflfieinly explain <! away to our
sati? action.
But :his is not a proper time or place 6
A
for a review of the philosophy of Mr. ;
George. It is sufficient to observe in
conclusion that along with the advocar.v
of doctrines that many persons
rtrgiiru -as* iauu many
others as downright wicked, he advo-1
cates the cause of some of the most j
important of the living issues in the !
politics of to-day. As the acknowl- i
edged leader of the workingmen and
the outspoken champion of their cause,
he denounces in unmeasured terms
the iniquities of the tariff, which is
artfully defended upon the ground of
"protection to American labor." This j
monstrous wrong which is still justified
by law and supported by an un- |
enliiihteued public opinion has received
no heavier blow* than those
which he has administered.
The Standard is published at New
York and should be read by all persons
who would keep themselves
posted upon the progress of the most
advanced thought in the political
world.
