Sweetwater December 2l.-We are
making great preparations for full
complement of amusements for the
holidays, the most important of which
are two Christmas trees at Baptist and

this subject, we are led to inquire why

The Rev. Mr.. Hatcher, the new pas

in his delivery, and shows great de-

There will probably be an effort
made shortly TO have some races here
in January. The races last January
were quite successful and drew large
crowd of strangers to iSweetwater.
a meeting was called at the court
house yesterday to pass reso-

Our schools closed yesterday, the
first term having expired. The second
term will begin Immediately after the
holidays. We understand that the
present corps of teachers will be re-

the barking dogs that bite. These NOISY
knaves, in all probability. make pretence OF
infamous designs only to get money into their
own pockets, and, if the truth could be known
probably let none of it out of their pockets for
any purpose beyond their private qualification.
The more dangerous scoundrels VINO 10 rai'o

attempts to some purpose, are quite apt 10 DO
men who make very little parade OF their de-
sisps, and who never put the slightest trust IN
windy swiudlers To find out what part Oh the
means raised in this country for Irish aims Is
actually employed in criminal plans or acts,
and which individuals are the few who are do
ing Infamous work where many are merely
cheating people by infamous talk, is q task OF
very great difficulty. But if any information Is
obtained, here OF abroad, which will enable our
Government to fasten crime against our laws
upon any persons within our jurisdiction, there
ought to be not an instant's hesitation in en-
forcing the laws without mercy.
In sober and judicious article, The London
Economist possibly attaches too much impor-
lance to American participation in these out
RACES. The opinion of that journal, which
represents the conservative business interests
of Great Britain is just now the more impor-
tant because the dynamite policy seems to
threaten the security Of property rather than
political institutions. The Economist says ::
Tho Americans, grave kindly, and in the
main religious people, are certain not to toler-
Sato for long an ayOwed war against
friendly people carried on by their own
guests, by means against which not only their
Gown consciences but their own views of the
aexpedsnt and fitting instinctively revolt. :.
aSooner or later the Americans are sure to
decide that this thing N ust end and the
moment that is decided, neither the Constitu-
q ton of the Union nor the laws OF indivld-
ual States will prevent the will OF the people
from becoming executive" The mistake here
is not as to the disposition of the American
people to do justice, but as to the nature OF
athis thing" which needs to be stopped. II
is a conspiracy organized and carried forward
on British soil, US recent disclosures indicate.
the American people have very little power to
arrest it. They are hardly able to prevent in
dividuals in this country from sending money
to trusted friends abroad for any secret pur-
pose, however infamous. As for the empty
talk of dcmagogues or swindleIs, there is not
much danger of harm to Great Britain from
that. If there were nothing else done on
American soil that ought not to he done, ex-
cept what such persons do or say, both nations
might rest in peace Whether the misdeeds OF
those who bark less and bite more are within
the reach of American authority, or are COM
mitted wholly on English soil, has not yet been
made clear.

THE DYNAMITE SCOUYDRELS.

It is not strange that the English people are
excited to great anger by the dynamite hends.
The efforts of these miscreants have not done
serious harm as yet but their persistency leads
to the impression that considerable BARN may
he prevented only by the exercise of vigilance
in repression which is hardly more congenial to
the British Government than TO our own. A
free government, resting upon the voluntary
support and hearty affection OF the people, does
not like to act as II every citizen might I've a
public enemy and a foe of social order. But
the ayowed object of the scOundrels who resort
tn explosions and assassinatiOns is to force the
British Government to such measures OF es-
pionage and repression that the situation shall
become intoerable. In this expectation, of
course, they greatly underrate the power of
free people to defend themselves and their in
situations against such attacks. Thus far, this
power has scarcely been manifested, because
there has seemed little need for strong meas
ures. But the discoveries just made have evil
IDENTIFY produced strong feeling of resentment,
which will sustain the Government in almost
any steps that it may deem advisable. One
thing is certain: free people who are fond of
liberty, guarded by law, will not stop at any
means that may be necessary to stamp out the
liends who offend humanity and threaten the
very existence of social order by their crimes.
Unhappily, We may not DO mere spectators in
this matter. In part, at least these infamous
crimes may have been planned or prepared in
this country, under tue shelter of pretended
American citizenship. 1t cannot be necessary
to give expression to the hearty detestatiOn
with which they are regarded by nearly
every body in this country. Not one in
thousand of our people would object If 1t were
possible for our Government to turn over to
British Justice every person who has had any
part whatever in planning or preparing for
these crimes against humanity and against
friendly and kindred people. But We can act
only in accordance with our laws, and it has
been the claim of tile dynamite fiends that they
have done nothing here to put themselves
within the reach of American law. Probably
this is untrue, but there is the further and
greater difficulty of obtaining the Deedful proof
of acts of hostility against friendly Power, so
that innocent and law-abidng citizens nay
Lot be COMPOUNDED with the guilty. The
British people, however strong their indigna-
ton. will not fail to realize these difficulties,
nor will they attribute it to any sympathy with
most odiOns crimes if our Government is I'M
able, in faithful enforcement of its laws, to put
its hand on any persons who are really guilty.
The difficulties are the greater because the
recent disclosures indicate that the mnnufac-
ture of explosives, and all other overt acts of
crime, were committed on English soil. There
il not the least reason to believe that they were
in any way prepared or aided by the blatant
cheats who 60 about in this country making
