The Political Trials IN South
Carolina.

Judge Bond, who is known as rad
ical Republican, and whose methods
on the bench in the circuit over which
he presides have provoked much crit
icisni, has recently dismissed the cleo
ton cases in South Carolina as having
no foundation nor proper standing 10
court.
These cases, says the New York San,
have been nursed with special care by
the so-caIled Department of Justice.
Not satisfied with the services Of. the
United States District Attorney on the
spot, lawyer OF ability and eloquence
and an extreme Republican in politics,
Brewster, Attorney-General, has en-
ployed DO less than five special assist
ant counsel to aid the prosecution
Dallas Saunders of Pennsylvania
was paid $500 month and his expen-
ses in these cases. He began March Q,
1852, and stopped recently.
w. W. Ker of Philadelphia was ap-
pointed Jan. p, 1882, with a retainer
of ST 900 and expenses.
w. P. Snyder of Pennsylvania was
appointed IN February, 1888, at $500
month and expenses, to aid the pros
ecution.

that he ever went to that State OF rem

fee.
Emory speer, present United States
District Attorney of Georgia, was en-
ployed as special assistant, but his fee
is not yet reported
All the cases failed before the juries
that tried them, and the others on the
docket were dismissed by Judge Bond.
From first to last, in all their parts,
these were political prosecutions and
nothing else. That fact was well
known throughout the State and to
the local District Attorney.
Now that the trials are all over. and

For some years past fears have been
entertained by the friends of this insti-
tuition that sooner or later an open ef-
fort would be made to remove it to Co
lumbia and place it entirely under the
control Of the Faculty of the State Uni
versity, of which it is q branch. AT
nearly every session Of the Legislature
liberal appropriations have bean
fought and other indications of HOSTILE
ty have cropped out, causing the
friends of the school to take fresh
alarm, but up to the present time no
ono has for a moment thought that
any design against the school could
possibly exist among those to whose
charge it is committed. This may not
now be the case, but Prof Douthat,
Principal OF the Preparatory Depart
ment, in y letter to the Rolia Herald
makes such a charge, and declares In
SO many words that the Faculty of the
School-his associates-are bent upon
its destruction.
In proofof the grave charge made br
Prof. Douthat. he cites the fact that his
department has been twice reorganiz-
eu Witnln Tear-Ghe last time for no
other real object but to force his resig-
nation, inasmuch as he, more than any
other obstacle, stands IN the way Of the
designs of the conspirat0rs.
Whatever may be the real merits In
the controversy, which Prof. Douthat
has opened, we have very indubitable
proof in the record he has made, that
no truer, more earnest or hard-wCrk-
ing friend to the School Of Mines is TO
be found than in the person Of Prof.
Douthat, and it is to his indomitable
perseverance under difficulties imme-
diately surrounding the School and
hostility remote from it, that the school
has attained its present high rank.
We most earnestly hope that the
Professor is mistaken and that his as
sociates will be able to put their action
upon higher and justifiable ground.
We wish it for themselves, for Prof.
Doathat, for the school, and for the
people of South Missouri, who are just
To appreciate and be proud
of the School Of Mines.-Wese Plains

When labor has to appeal to British
pauper labor to be kind enough to stay
at home and not to come over and en-
list the cause of employers against em-
pioyes in the iron business, what be-
comes of the protection cry about
wages? AS to the facts concerning
the importation of labor for various
branches of manufacturing, there is no
question. 1t has been done by New
England cotton manufacturers; labor
organizations assert that it is being at
tempted by iron men. 1t seems to be
the opinion of the laborer that it is to
little purpose that he is protected
against pauper labor in Europe if he is
to encounter the same labor imported
to America.
the most significaris fact in politics
is the awakening of American work
ingnien TO the solemn truth that the
protection pretense of affection for
labor and desire to protect wages is all
sham and deceit. 1t is strange that
such hypocrisy should have deceived;
but it did deceive, and thoroughly. At
last, however, labor has aroused itself
to the fact that 1t is protected precisely
to the extent that it has been able to
organize and protect itself. It has
dawned upon the patient laborang man
that, under protection and despite the
formation of numerically and morally
powerful organizations of labor counter
to monopoly and privilege, he has to
suffer continual alterations of work
and idleness, enforced by the efforts of
employers to escape from what is called
overproducfion.
This awakened thought and profound
interest is full OF hope and promise for
revenue reform democracy. It il able
to appeal to labor and to the great bulk
of the capital, brains, muscle, and en-
terprise engaged in American produc-
ton and 5usiness-aot against any
right enjoyed by. or due to, any Amer

there is no longer any use in conceal
ment, revelations are made of an at
tempted conspiracy in the jury room to
convict some of the defendants and TO
let others escape, ito help the Repub-
licans during the campaign of 1854"
One of the jurymen charges that the
officials representing the Government
were privy to caucus in the jury
room, where this subject was fully dis
cussed in its partisan relations.
This disclosure, following swiftly, as
it does, on the heels of others made in
the Star route cases, where spies and
informers were regularly employed by
the Department Of Justice, has natur-
ally provoked resentment and :ndig-
nation. The committee now investi-
eating the Department of Justice can
not pass this matter by without
searching inquiry, which will bring
out the truth.
We last week asserted that the De-
partment of Justice was corrupt, and
that Its ''secret service" division was
honey-combed with fraud, perjury and
bribery. Some of the most infamous
scoundreis in the Union are in its en-
ploy-and we needn't go all the way
to South Carolina to find them, either.

An old fued between Kentucky Re
publicans reappears in demand for an
investigation OF the official accounts of
Gen. Eli H. Murray as United States
Marshal for Kentucky from 1863 to 1876.
Gen. Murray was investigated once
before, and the affairs of the Office were
found in shape so satisfactory to the
Republican authorities at Washington
that he was permitted to resign, and
was soon thereafter appointed Govern
or of Utah. Now, Republican Con-
gress man from Kentucky is authority
for the statement that an investigation
10y the Committee on Expenditures in
the Department of Justice will show
that Gen. Murray was shielded by pol
itical influence, when the evidence on
file in that Department proves his
management of his Office to have been
full of crookedness and fraud. We
cannot say to what extent he may
have been bIameable for the irregular
ities in his office or the crookedness of
his depaties; but it seems to be con-
ceded that they were such as are inn
posed by the usages of the party and
condoned by the so-called Department
of Justice. This latter concern, by the
way, is in worse order now than it has
been before since the days OF Lam
daulet Williams, and the public will
not be much surprised by any disclos-
ure of proofs that its chief function has
been to run the party machine and
cover up its tracks. Since the expos
ure of the Star Route trial expenses, it
is not believed possible that there can
be anywhere under the control of the
Department of Justice an Attorneys
Office or Marshal's Office that is half
as crooked or rotten as the Department
of Justice itself--Post-D Dispatch.

Bishop Huntington of the Episcopal
Church has all article in the Ladepe,ad.
est on the unfitness of the public school
system as q moral educator. There
are many parts of a finished and per.
feet education which the public school
system and no other school system can
compass. The especial work of our
public schools is to make intelligent
and useful citizens out of as many as
possible OF the great mass of children,
the most of whom would otherwise not
even learn to read. They have not
time to discover the special aptitudes
Of all these children and to teach this

er one engraving, and so on through
an endless variety of trades. Certainly
neither the public schools, nor any
other schools, can perform the special
work Of the church, the family fireside
and the social circle in the way OF
moulding moral character or quick

mosphere Of the common school is less
favorable than that of any other school

tues. IfOxford, or Eton. or any other
educational institution resting on an
ecclesiastical foundation, or peculiarly
under the care of religious influences,
is famous for the number of moral
heroes it develops from an average
generation, we should like to see the
statistics. There 10 a vague impress

children. Mr.. Julian was unfortuna
tely absent in Washington, where tn,
distressing event was made known Il
him by telegram, and this is the
fourth great sorrow which has decima
ted his household and darkened his
life, IL Is the saddest OF all his
Affections, for il has come in his old
age and in the decline Of health, when
he will need more than ever before
the sympathy and devotedness Of the
wife he perfectly idolized.
We add some passages from the
discourse of Rev. NJ. McCulloch at
the funeral.
Our friend has been called upon TO
bear the shock OF q great loss, the
unexpected death Of his wife, and his
son and daughter mourn mother.
There is silence about death in
the deep hush OF which all words are
intrusive. When Emerson wrote to
Carlyle of the death of his son that
great man said: "There is nothing
to be said; nothing but what the
wild son of Ishmael and every think
ing heart from of old have learned to
say, God is great! He is terrible
and stern, but we know he is also
good. Though He slay me, yet will
/ trust Him."
The life Of each Of us is hidden
from the other, and no one can read
that unwritten history Of influence
which O noble wife and mother writes
upon the heart of those she loves,
and through them upon the times.
1.-THE best women said Ruskin,
"are necessarily the most difficult to
know. They are recognized chiefly
in the happiness of their husbands
and the nobleness Of their children
they are only to be OWNED, not
known by strangers" And again,
"no man ever accomplished anything
or lived a noble life who was not
cherished by q woman love, strength
ened by her courage and guided by
her discretion"
1t has been given to Mrs Julian to
assist in the moral progress of our
country. The friend and assistant of
her father and her husband, she has
exercised an unrecognized influence
upon minds which have raised their
noble protests against injustice and
have claimed for the slave and the |
poor the right of liberty and happi
ness. And she saw of the travail of |
1er soul, and was satisfied.
