meath the weight OF host of students decialm
ing revolutionary hymns, is danced iaran-
dole. Suddenly the cock upon the signooard
opens his beak and drops from 1t a lion Inis
president OF the geological tribe leaps into lie
and begins devouring the ballet. The agony
of the situation is further complicated by the
appearance ola frog which, from infnitesmai
proportions, swels to an enormous size and
swallows up the unhappy dancing girls who
escape the grasp OF the lion. Upon this an
obus bursts in the midst OF the maddened
crowd, casting its splinters in all directions
The scenery comes down in flaming morseis'
and is replaced by the interior ofa Palace, in
which the necromancer Kiribibi is amusing
himself by hewiug in pieces an insurgent,
whose head he dissects before the audience.
In spite OF this operation, however, the ex-
communist goes through with jig.

The Ku.Klux Trials.

In the United States Circuit Court yester-
day, Judge Bond announced the decision OF
the Court, upon the motions OF Mr.. STAN
berry for new trial, and in arrest OF judg-
ment, in the case of the Ku-Klux prisoners.
The Court oyerru,ed both motions, and the
prisoners who had been found guilty were
sentenced to terms Of Imprisonment ranging
from i've years to three months.
By this unanimous decision OF the Court,
the defence are, we presume, precluded from
carrying the case to the United States Su-
preme Court upon the issues made during
the trial. Doubtless way will be found OF
obtaining the opinion Of the Supreme Court
upon the question whether Congress has the
constitutional right to suspend the writ OF
habeas corpus in time OF profound peace,
and whether that right, If properly within
the powers Of Congress, may be delegated
to the President, who may, in turn, delegate
that power to any deputy marshal or subal-
tern in the service of the United States; and,
also, upon the question whether Congress
can constitutionally give the Federal Courts
Jurisdiction over offences punishable by the
laws OF the States.
The whole question Of the power OF Con-
gress to override, at will, The organic Law
OF the Union is involved in these Ku-Klux
trials, and it is desirable that this should be
determined by the highest tribunal in the
land, not in order that the guilty may escape
punishment, but in order that the rights Of
the whole people, North and South, may be
vindicated and maintained.
From Judge Bond we expected nothing
better than an implicit obedience to the
decision of his party as expressed in an Act
of Congress. But we cannot refrain from
expressing our surprise and regret that
Judge Bryan should, by bis acquiescence in
the opinion OF the Presiding Judge, prevent
the people from obtaining, directly and
easily, final solution Of the most important
constitutional question OF the day.

.Hieh, i, Crimes $ and GLOW" Crimes.

Euphemisms are always hurtful in matters
of great concern. Just IS the language o.
a people furnishes measure Of its morality,
so is it equally true, on the other hand, that
it's language reacts upon its morality. 10
community where, for instance, larceny is
called misappropriation, or burglary raid'
the feeling against those crimes must, in
in time, inevitably be modified. TO call a
spade spade is rule OF ethics as well as
Of lonauaen- Tho habit whioh Woo uniyer-
sally has OF avoiding the real names OF its
acts, is the homage which it pays to words.
And not only is the principle we contend for
true in respect to broad and f1agrant misno-
mers, but it applies to every misuse OF terms
by which misconduct escapes its full share
OF condemnation.
What we have said is suggested by the
fashion now prevailing in Columbia OF
treating and designating the frauds commit
ted upon the State as "high crimes and mis-
'demeanors." Now there are high crimes
and there are low crimes. High treason is a
crime and rebellion is q crime, but they are
both extremely respectable. They have en-
nobled families. There, have been great
families who spoke little Of an ancestor who
had not died upon the scaffold. But it would
certainly have given a shock to the moral
sense of that age when "high crimes" were
much in vogue if any one had maintained
that performances like those OF our friend
Parker entitled one to an attainder and on
axe on Tower Hill Tyburn and its less
aristocratic arrangements were thought
good enough for the folk Of that feather
The fact is that if frauds have been commit
ted on the Treasury OF South Carolina, they
have plain and well-understood name in
the criminal code. They are nothing more
nor less than JelonieS, and among the felo-
MES they are, by law, in express terms, put
upon the footing Of larcenieS. AS early as
1927 law was passed, by which corruption
and fraud OF county officers were made pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment. In 1866
the General Assembly Of South Carolina
passed remedial act of more general
scope. "Any person." says this statute,
''committing a breach of trust aoiM fraud.
"ulent intention, shall be guilty OF larceny;
"and so shall any person acho shall hire on
.'counsez any other person to commit q
"Jreach of trust acith a fraudulent intent y
The penalties of the crime are those OF other
felonies, viz Confinement in penitentiary
not less than three months or more than ten
years; hard labor, solitary cc"fnement, fine,
not more than five thousand ,.,llars, and for.
mery corporal punishment. Such is the just
legislation which removed from the State the
reproach of treating the theft Of loaf as q
crime and the theft of thousands as mis-.
fortune.
Ethically, the official rogue who steals
largely to supply his luxury is worse than
the pauper who flches little to satisfy bis
hunger. Legally, they stand in the same
class. 1t will do positive harm to distin'
guish them in name, in the process to be
oonubt AGAINST them or in their punishment

Abolish the Fence Law.

We print to-day an able, and, to our mind,
unanswerable letter upon the subject OF the
proposed abolition of the old fence laws.
There is, as far as we know, no other argu-
ment in favor of the present ruinous system
than is contained in the assertion that "what
isis must be right" We hope that the Leg
islature, upon reassembling, will give the
mo Fence" law their immediate attention,
and pass, at once, what may flly be called a
measure of practical reform.
