We cheerfully comply with the request Of
Governor Orr, of South Carolina, and publish
the letter which he has forwarded, together
with the abstract which it encloses of letters
addressed to the Rev. Mr.. Martin, Of Columbia.
in response to circular issued by the latter
under the direction Of the Governor. We need
not add q word to the Official exhibition TINS
afforded Of the destiiution and suffering pre-
vailing in South Carolina. The plain recital of
facts which it contains is sufficient to show the
extent Of the distress throughout almost all the
districts Of the State. It furnishes full informa
ton to all who feel generous interest In the
misfortunes of deluded and unhappy people.
The Governor states that he has no hesitation
in endorsing the statements made in the letters
from which extracts are taken. He is person
ally acquainted with the writer's Of nearly all
the letters. And these bear testimony to the
heartrending fact that old persons and little
children, women and men, blacks and whites
are not only on the verge Of starvation, but, in
too many cases, have "already starved to
DEATH" In more than one district "many wan
der about in starving condition" The testi-
mony Of Mr.. J. Aiken with reference to the
Fairfield district d, we fear, true Of many other
districts, that athe greatest want IL not with
the extremely poor, but with those who are
trying to labor without means Of future sup
port" Surely the simple statement Of the
facts in the case will be enough to enlist the
nympsthies Of all. But II we add that similar
accounts Of the destitution in the South are
daily reaching US from every Southern State,
with the exception. perhaps, Of Texas which,

our present system Of judiciary lies in the in
adequacy Of the courts to Meet the business
that prezses and accnmnlates upon them. This
is the lesser Of two evils. The principal one is
the election of judges by the people. The
first can be readily removed. It is true
that now, as In 1916, the courts are
blocked up, and cases remain for years unheard
and undecided. But II, with the advance OF
me State, one appellate tribunal is found
insufficient TO do the business that comes before
it, courts with coordinate jurisdiction must be
created, under such regulations as will 80 far
as possible prevent the difficulty Of conflicting
decisions. But the evil Of an elective judiciary
must be swept away altogether, and our judges
be placed beyond the reach of political inAu-
ence by holding their appointments during
good behavior until they attain stated age.
1t is idle to say that we have had good judges
elected. We have had bad judges chosen as
well. This is no reflection upon the capacity
of the people to choose their own officers The
nominations are not made by the people, but
by party caucuses and conventions, and are ire
quently controlled by intrigue, bargain and cor
ruption. For these nominations, under the iron
rule Of party, the people are compelled to vote
or to throw away their ballots. Judges who
are obliged to court the favor Of oanvassers
and conventions, and to make friends with the
venal politicians who hold the management Of
such bodies in their hands before they can
secure nomination, cannot preserve their
judicial robes free from the stains Of party poll
tics, nor can they always resist the influences,
sometimes subtle and unacknowledged to their
own consciences, created by political friend
ship and political enmity. tits this overshadow-
ing evil that mainly tends to block the business
Of the courts, that practically shuts out the
people from justice, and that requires to
be eradicated from the organic law Of the
State by the Convention Of Revision, if we
are to have any substantial and permanent
reform in our judicial system.

According to the HERALD's special kilograms
Of yesterdays issue the new eight hour law In
Chicago and St Louis Is creating great COM
motion among all branches Of mechanics ana
laborers on the one side and employers on the
other. In Chicago there is general suike
among the workmen for the eight hour law ana
ten hours pay, and among their employers
there seems to be general coalition to give
only eight hours' pay for eight hours work, ana
they threaten to hold out year If necessary.
This b question Of endurance, and Il LEFT TO
this test the result win no doubt be, and that
very soon, . Satisfactory understanding al
round But the Chicago workmen, it appears,
in vast bodies have been trying the experiment
of forcibly shutting up those establishments
and turning their hands out into the street,
where this requisition of ten hours pay for
eight hours' work has been dimegarded. e6uch
extreme proceedings Of intimidation and
coercion are not only unlawful and unjust, but
they are exceedingly foolish; for they In
variably operate 70 the prejudice Of all the
strikers concerned in such extreme measures.

hand, in their pronunciamiento have adopted .
sensible course in resolving to try--Hrst, in
certain cases, compr9p1e with those en-
ployer who viii make an honorable ONE !;
secondly, me plan Of contracting directly for
work on the cooperative principle thirdly,

shops of their own to fulfil such contracts
These men act upon the principle that there
are two sides to the question of labor and
compensation, and that in all cases It Is best
to exhaust the resources Of friendly negotia-
tons before resorting to war. But II there
must be strikes, suspending the manufacturing
operations Of great cities and throwing ~
families Of the workingmen upon their sesAty
savings, they ought BY all means to ab1ndon
that old ruinous system of enforcing idleness
among themselves to bring the employers
down, and adopt the policy Of cooperative
workshops. Where labor is wanted and men
are hungry their enforced idleness is a crime.

In another column Of to-days HERALD we
publish interesting cable dispatches regarding
the situation in Europe. Earl Derby, we are
told, has officially stated that, although he con-
fdently hopes that peace will be the result Of
the deliberations Of the London Congress,
which Is to hold its first session, not on the 18th
instant as was formerly announced, but on the
9TH, he cannot say that any plan has been Ger
tainly fixed upon as the basis of deliberations
The statement, we are further told, has created
uneasiness beth in England and on the Con-
tinent We are not disposed to regard this as
note of alarm. The statement It will be
found, has been wrung from his lordship by some
question put to the government in the Upper
House. It is significant that his lordship has
not denied that certain preliminaries had been
agreed upon; nor Is there any inconsistency
between the previous announcement chat such
an agreement had been come to and this fresh
one that no definite plan had been certainly
fixed upon. Conferences, as rule, imply pre-
vious agreement Is TO the subject or subjects
to be brought before them, and a. to the limits
within which these are to be discussed; but It
Is absurd to expect an ofhcial prejudgment Of
the whole case before even the first sitting has
been held. We cannot conceive how Lord
Derby, acting wisely in the circumstances,
could have answered otherwise than he has
done. We do not, therefore, consider that this
telegram implies the slightest change in the
situation certainly no such change as 10 fitted
to give alarm.
Another telegram, which announces rising
of the republicans in Spain, justiles the con-
clusion which we have again and again ex-
pressed-that Europe, throughout all her
borders, is in q state Of chronic discomfort and
that, whatever success may attend the delibera-
tons of the coming Congress, lasting peace is
not to be expected as one Of its results.
