THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCANDAL


Shameful as the South Carolina
scandal is, there is yet an element of
the grotesque In it. Gov. Moses, ae-
cused of stealing the public funds, is
sought by sheriff with writ of ar
rest and IAN unpleasant duty to per-
form" To him the Governor replies
that he thought as much. He refuses
to be arrested and orders out the mill
tary. Thereupon, the Moses mansion,
as it is styled in the dispatches, is sur
sounded by State troops (eolored) who
guard all approaches. Finally, finding
this exclusion irksome, Gov. Moses con-
sents to give bail, but he will surrender
only to the coroner. never to the sheriff.
Like Brooks of Arkansas, he is choice
about the person to whom he gives up
his dignity. No wonder that thereport
concludes by saying that there is great
excitement and "businessis paralyzed.
The whole proceeding has fine flavor
of Central American politics about it.

THE Railroad war in Wisconsin
wakes warm. By its terms the new
law went into operation April %. Two
powerful companies, the Chicago North
western and the Milwaukee and st.
Paul, formally notified the Governor
that it was unjust and they would dis
regard it. Gov. Taylor responded that
he must enforce the law, but invited
them to test it's validity in the Supreme
Court. The Railroads, seeming to re-
gard this mode Of redress as either too
uncertain or too slow, have fixed their
tariffs without regard to the law, and
the Governor now issues a circular
urging all good citizens to aid in sus-
tanning the authorities, by refusing to
pay more than the legal rates and re-
porting all violations to the District
Attorneys. AS the bill makes no pro-
vision for the bringing of suits, these
cases must be tried before Justices of
the Peace as criminal violations of law,
The progress and result of this first
energetic effort TO enforce railway leg
islation viii be watched with interest in
other States.

THE REMEDY For RING RrIE.


In paper read sbefore the Social
Science Congress in New York by VII
lard G. Flagg, of Illinois, he says the
Grange movement in the West finally
resolves itself into ian effort to carry
to more logical conclusion the princi-
Piles of our republican-democratic sys-
tenn. 1t is part of the universal up
ward tendency of the manual workers
of the world, and is as irrepressible as
the progress of democracy on earth"
The upward tendency of the manual
workers and the progress of democracy
are marked features of lineage through
ont that portion of the world which
moves at all ,andespecially in Europe. In
this country. however, during the past
decade. the tendency of Radical Iegis.
lation has been to make the poor poor
er. and our progress has been toward
plutocracy or money rule, instead of
democracy or the peoples rule. A
cynic might argue before the Social
Science Congress with a plausible
philosophy, that the apathy of the
people proves natural dis
position or instinct to leave
Government to the few, and that the
rings" which rule everywhere show
the Natural tendency of the race to the
morarehial form with its privileged
ruling classes. which have managed the
world pretty much since the year one.
The social scientist might 60 furtherand
argue that, since the monarehial spirit
has been thus developed in America,
under every disadvantage, to the full
flush of almost universal ring rule, hu-
manity might as veil confess its natu-
raj instinct and proceed to systematic
the matter-set up the rings" as priv
LEGGED to rule, and endow them amply,
as the surest means 70 stop their pres
ent promiscuous stealings. The ephen-
cral ring, in Office this year and out the
next, is sorely tempted to feather its
nest. But make it perpetual, giving it
the right of entail, and in course of
time we might have rulers as high
minded and above petty stealing as an
English lord.
Perhaps the true philosophy of the
case is that humanity is always oseilla-
ting. No earthly condition is perfect,
and the possession of any one, even in
its best development, leaves room for a
dissatisfaction that looks for vain re-
lief from its opposite. We agree with
Mr.. Flagg so far as be means that the
farmers movement is the first great
indication of widespread and earnest
reaction against the monopolizing CEN
tralism of late years. The pendulum
has not swing enough in this &C untry
to reach monarchy outright, before it
rebounds. So the progress of democ-
racy in Europe should beware of
trencbing on communism. Such a cul-
mination would only cause the inevita-
bic reaction Of human nature, and ali
the permanent interests of society
would welcome the extreme of despot-
ism Another burning Paris-not at
all unlikely, from present Indications
would only seat the old Bourbon on his
throne more firmly than his grand
father.

LET REron,. BEGIN AT HONE.

The date set for the State Conyen-
ton, August 10, is two weeks after the
county elections. We have hitherto
adverted TO the good policy Of leaving
these elections free from complications
with purely State affairs, and we may
here add that the question of retrench-
ment and economy in order to tighten
taxes, is by no means State question
only. 1t comes home to every mans
door. Wherever. in city, town or coun-
try, retrenchment is possible, it should
be kept in view IN the local elections.
This is the direction III which honest
reform should be first turned. Here
is a field for the initial efforts of the
Twenty-centers, and if they do not oc-
cupy it, the suspicious of the people
that they are mere demagogues will be
confirmed. Let them prove their
preaching by practice in the canvass
for August. All true reforms and true
reformers begin at home. ha

IT is somewhat bewildering TO US
"outside barbarians," but at the same
time a trife amusing. to note the i'm
perturbable regularity with which tele-
grams from Madrid report Republican
successes, while those from Bayonne
report the reverse. 1t is well enough
to remember that the telegraph at the
former city is under Government cen
sOrship, while the sympathies of the

THE current question is, What viii
Brownlow and his $4,000 East Tennes-
see Republicans do, if the civil rights
enormity becomes law, as now seems
likely? Some few of the rank and file
may fall in with the Democratic col
umn, but what viii the main body do,
under Brownlow's leadership? Will he
turn Liberal and play the role of Gree
ley, Upton and Trumbull? VIII he
start new third party of his own? or
will he raise the old Wing banner and
create heavy diversion from the Con-
servative ranks in other sections Of the
State? or, finally, will he confess that
he has been abandoned in his old days
in the house of his friends, Ike Sum-
ner and Greeley. and mourn the black
ingratitude OF Republicans p: We fear
us much that. with all this buster, No
vember win find the white Republicans
of East Tennessee voting with the
blacks Of the Middle and West, accord
ing to orders from Washington head
