Messrs. Blanchard, Catchings and
Stewart, the Southern members of the
committee. are among the ablest men,
bers, and they have worked with un.
firing industry in the preparation Of
the bill. Each gentleman expresses
himself as satisfied with the result,
from a local as well as from a general
point of view.
Mr. Catchings, in conversation with
the Times-D Democrat correspondent
this afternoon, said: 1.-THE committeC

SWIFT PUNIsHHEFT on i
FEARFUL CRTMB.

We have not met asingle individual,
who deprecates the execution Of vii
larosa for the attempted rape Of a lit
lie child. Many doubtless regret the
necessity for such q severe remedy,
but none regret the prompt application
when the necessity did arise. God
help the community, where there are
not willing arms of brave men, to pro-
tect the females. Southern sentiment
has always been sound on this point,
and the standard Of virture is higher
in the Southern States than
anywhere else in the world. In most
cases short, sharp, effective punish
ment follows seduction, and il is rare
indeed, that the human tiend escapes,
who resorts to brutal force to satisfy
his hellish lust.
It is due to this fact, that the best
possible protection is afforded society.
If the brute knew he would have the
chances Of the laws delays, and
shrewd and able lawyers to defend
him, he would be much holder
than when he knows that almost GER
tain death awaits him. The lynching
Of those who commit rape, is the best
possible protection from the horrible
crime. 1t is well enough to demand,
that the law take Its course in ordinary
cases, but in very extreme cases, such
as this, where a whole community cries
out with n voice against the
outrage it has sustained. it is best that
swift and sure punishment be inflicted.
There are other, almost insurmount-
able objections to waiting for the slow
process Of the law. In cases Of at
tempted rape, the law is very exacting
as to proof and not as effective in its
punishment as it should be. 1t is the
refinement Of cruelty and humiliation
to put upon the witness stand the vic
tim OF the outrage, and perhaps
members Of the family to prove the
horrible details and face the badgering
of the lawyers for the defense. Any
respectable family would shrink from
such an ordeal, and no respectable COM
munity should exact it.
When there is no doubt of the crime
and of the identity of the guilty indi
vidual, there should be NJ delay in thu
punishment.

ARBITRATION.

1t is getting popular now to talk and
write about arbitration. 1t is SO much
"the thing" that some of the pictori-
ais are giving cuts Of the beauties of
arbitration.
We have read much on the subject
and its proposed application to con.
tests between labor and capital, but we
acknowledge that we cannot "catch
on" to the subject as others do, or see
in arbitration an effective remedy
against low wages or a pre-.
ventive Of strikes. Arbitration
means simply to submit a matter to
others fer decision. That being the
case, how can a citizen, a firm or cor
poration, submit to others, to decide
what wages to pay, when it is the
unquestioned right Of all, to enter the
labor market, and get The best labor
for the least that it can be had?
And how a a laborer submit to
others to say what price he shall sell
his work for, when it is his most highly
cherished right to secure the largest
sum possible?
1t looks to US like a great principle
is at stake, and that it cannot be left
to arbitration. The laborer has the
right, or he does not have it, to get the
largest sun for his labor; the capitalist
has the right, or he does not have it, to
get the largest amount of work for his
money. All admit, laborers and capt.
talists, that the affirmative of both
propositions is true. Then there is no
place for arbitration. An established,
recognized fact, cannot be arbitrated
All this talk sounds impracticable to
us, for it suggests tampering with the
memorable law Of supply and demand
We can readily understand the value
Of union and cooperation among
laborers, but we cant see why they
should rely on arbitration except tt
artiicially effect the price of work.
