HUMAN NATURE, high or low, rich or
poor, ancient or modern, is the same. Love
begets love, and hostility provokes resent
ment. 1t is by no means surprising, there
fore, that the Missouri Pacific Railroad
Company, in consequence of the strike Of
some of its employees, have discharged
about five thousand other employees who
had not struck. AS there is no necessity
for the continued employment of the latter,
while the operations Of the road are OBJ
structed by the strike of the former, the
company think that the hostility Of labor
is so great that it completely relieves them
of the duty of paying for unemployed work
men.

is entirely too optimistic. 1t usually has its

ment shows it has been asleep for many
years. Facts prove that the people will not
only tolerate monstrous violation of the
principles of their government for such a

the Blair bill before it was amended, but
will either passively submit to, or hail such
violation for objects that don't even pretend

THE LIEN LAW.

UnqucStiOnably there is a strong
demand for the repeal Of the lien
law. 1t remains to be seen if the
next legislature will act in accord
nee with this demand. lnasmuch
as this issue will likely be promi-
nentiy before the people during
the present campaign, the prima-
rics must decide the question.
When we contemplate Il change in
this direction, the question always
arises, what substitute will be al
lowed. 1t a scarcely be expected
that in the next twelve months the
condition OF tn" country Will be
such that no credit system will be
needed. Indeed, in an a~gricuitu-
raj district, moro or less credit is
always necessary. A majority OF
the farmers in the state have moth
ing upon which to base credit OK
cept labor. Now, when this class
a no longer pledge their crop in
order to obtain supplies, the qucs-
ton is, what are they to do.
Merchants cannot advance money
or goods to poor men, without Sc
curity. The result will be that all
farmers who are not landowners,
must either give q chattcl mort
gage on their stock, if they have
any, or else look TO their landlord
for supplies. Most Of the land
owners in LaurrnS Comfy, to-day,
cannot obtain supplies from mcr-
chants for their hands, without a
real estate mortgage in addition to
liens on the crop, and whenever
they can no longer give the lien,
the number of real estate mort
cages must increase. Some good
farmers occasionally, in bad crop
years, fail to pay expenses, consc-
qucntly, when such years come,
probably the merchant ear
wait no longer, the land is put up
and sold by the sheriff to satisfy
the mortgage.
Some people suppose that labor
cannot be controlled unless the la
borer is so poor that he cannot live
without the endorsement of his
landlord. This j. mistake. When
ever laborcrs AN become indie
pendent; whenever they can so
manage their own affairs as to live
without giving a lien, we may eX-
acct prosperity. But the great
trouble is, that those who give
liens are content with high prices,
and make little effort to rid them
selves Of them. They arc not ask
ing for n repeal Of the lien law, but
this demand comes from those who
can live without it. Yet a repeal is
q serious matter, and it is well to
discuss the question thoroughly be-
fore the Primary.

When the democratic Party
elected q President, after twenty
five years Of Republican rule, it
was naturally expected that those
who have heretofore been only
lockers on, would rise up and ask
to he allowed t. occupy some Of
the fat places awhile. The course
of the Democrats in this regard,
and especially in the South, has
been temperate and modest. While
we of this section have not raised a
great clamor for positions, it does
not follow that we concur in the
idea chat Republicans should be re.
tanned in office. There is no reason
why those who, in days gone by,

HOW ABOUT THIS?

The idea of reducing the number
of County Commissioners to one,
and giving him Il salary sufficient
to compensate him for his whole
time, is, we think, commendablc.
On an average, the County Com
m~issioners receive three hundred
dollars per annum--nine hundred
dollars. If II man, instead Of
three received this money, he could
atford to spend twelve months in
the year looking after the roads,
bridges and ferries. AS it is, no
man is sufficiently paid without en-
gaging in other matters, and man
who has private business, will hard
ly neglect it to look after public
matters.
Sometime ago we advocated
abOlishing the Office of School Com
missioner. Now, to carry out the
reform, rs the Abbcville Press onI
Banner suggests, let this one COun-
ty Commissioner perform the du-
ties of School Commissioner also.
BY this scheme we have three can
didatcs less at the next election,
and the salary of School Commits
Sioner to be applied to the pay of
teachers. 1t is a good schcmC.
