u s. Prosecutions in South Carolina

The National Republican, the Admin
i.tration organ at Washington, gives the
following statement Of a prosecution Tor
violating the federal election law inSouth
Carolina. 1t was case upon informa-
ton. in which a State registrar at
Charleston was accused of having I'M
lawfully elected from the place of regis
tration, a special deputy marshal. Dis
trict Attorney Melton, believed it to be
the right and duty of the deputy mar
shall 10 be present on the occasion IN
question, and that his removal was a
violation of the federal statute. The
defendants did not demur, and the wit
nesses for the prosecution proved the
case as stated in the information. The
District Attorney asked the court
Judge Bond presiding-for Instructions il
accordance with the law as he understood
It. Counsel for the defense asked TO
contrary instructions. After argumen
Judge Bond instructed the jury that tn
law had not been violated. The NEAR
| ing of the instruction was that tn
United States official was in plac
where he had no business.

Railroad Commissioners.

The Philadelphia Railway Age pub
fishes list of twenty-five States that
have laws providing for the supervision
of railroads through the agency of com
missioners, that terrible bug-bear which
has been held up in the Mississippi Leg
islature as a certain means of driving
off capital which would seek investment
in railroad enterprises in our State.
The States that have enacted laws in
the interest and for the protection of
the people, for the appointment OF COM
missioners are:
Alabama, California, Connecticut
Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky
Maine, Massachusetts,, New Jersey
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New
York, New Hampshire, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina
Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin.
These States, representing every par
of the Union, from one extreme to tn
other, including old and young, hav
all tried supervisory legislation, AM
among them all, there is no example i
which an attempt has been made t
repeal it and go back to the old plan Q

AN important case involving, or de-
fining the extent of the power of legisla-
tive jurisdiction over corporations, has
Just been argued in the U. S. Supreme
Court. The suit in which the question
arose vas originally brought in one of
the courts of California to recover from
the Southern Pacific Railroad company
certain State and county taxes levied on
its property for the year 1892. The
company sets up special answer 70 the
action that in assessing the property an
unjust and unlawful discrimination was
made between it and the property of in
dividuals and that as this discrimina-
ton was made in pursuance of the Con
stitution of the State, the company was
denied "the equal protection of the laws
guaranteed by the 18th amendment OF tho
Constitution of the United States
These allegations Of unjust discrimina.
ton are denied by counsel for the State
and it is further held that the 14tl
amendment has no reference to the rev
enue laws Of the State No principl
has been more clearly and indisputabl.
settled by the highest judicial authorit.
Of the United States than the power 0

The Raymond Gazette.

Hon. George w. Harper has retired
from the Raymond Gazette after forty
three years Of continuous, useful and
honorable labor in the conduct of that
journal. No member Of the profession
has ever pursued it under stronger inspi-
ration OF duty. Wherever his convic-
tons led he has followed without count
ing the cost. Within those forty-three
years, centuries of ordinary events have
been crowded. Such a history as he
would write Of them would be full OF
thrilling interest and instruction. Out
side of journalism Mr.. Harper has borne
his part as a good citizen, alive to the
interests Of the community in which he
has lived. There has been no question
of public concern during all that time
in which he has not, on one side or the
other, made his impress. AS represen
tative Of his county in the State Legis
lature, his course was always character
lied by conscientious inspiration o
duty and intelligent apprehension Of tn,
welfare Of his constituents, If we ma,
be permitted to specify the GROWING
service Of his useful career, we woul'
unhesitatingly point to his labors in tn
ever memorable canvass of 1875, whe'
the county Of Kinds, with the othe
counties of the Shte, was rescued fror
the wicked administration with whic
the people were plunderod and vexod.

New York is about to adopt wise

number of studies and make the

more practical value to those who have

adapt the studies in different schools

they are TO have more reading, writing

The Appellate Court Bill.

It would seem that the Democrats In
Congress are in no hurry to pass the bill
providing for an appellate court in each
of the federal circuits, for the reason
that it will give the present President
the power to appoint eighteen new
Judges of his own party. That he would
select them all from the Republican
party, there is abundant ground fol
believing. None but Republicans have
been appointed to the Supreme Court

ers to recanvass the returns OF certain
towns in which discrepancies were alleg-
ed to exist and correct the returns in
such manner as would have the Ell
ect to elect Mr.. West, the present
representative, or to show cause. The
Board produced afiidavits from all the
inspectors in the disputed towns showing
that the alleged discrepancies did not exist.
but that the figures as canvassed by the
County Board were correct. The full re-
turns from all the counties, now undis-
puted, elect Edward Wimple, democrat, by
eighty nine majority.
From all of which it would appear
that in other States the authority of the
Court to require canvassing boards to
recanvass returns in which discrepancies
are alleged to exist, is unquestioned
and that the right and the duty Of coun-
tv commissioners to review their reports
where there exists we'll founded reasons
for believing that errors have beer
made, is also unquestioned. What
sea of difficulties would have been avoid
ed if this common-sense and common
justice rule had been applied to the Tat

AS we apprehended, the Tariff Com
mission insomueh as it proposed to re-
move the present discriminating and ex-

fraud, For example: The present tariff
on iron cotton ties is now 80 per cent.
The commission bill proposes to raise it

dozen manufacturers of cotton ties in
Ohio and Pennsylvania may have their
earnings increased about $650,000 annu,

The Republican Candidate for Gov

Take Advantage Of a Technical
Defeat.

The law of Connecticut declares that
all ballots shall be printed on plain white
paper. At the late election in that
State seven thousand Democratic ballots
were printed with white letters on black
paper. The Chief Justice has pro
nounced them all illegal, and this
decision would change the Democratic
majority in the State into minority
and elect Republican Governor and
other State officers. Under these circum-
stances, w, III. Buckley, the Republican
candidate for Governor, has written the
following letter declaring that he will
not accept the Office on such condition.
In other words, the will of the people
shall not be thwarted in his elevation,
