Sore Eyes

The eyes are always in sympathy with

which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.

Congress ought to consider, at as early
a day as possible, that portion of the
Presidents message which recommends
United States prisons for United States
prisoners. The South is much more
deeply interested in this matter than the
North. for the reason that Southern
Federal criminals are confined in North
ern prisons. While, perhaps, convicts
are not entitled to the same consideration
which order-lovlng and law-ablding citi-
zens are, nevertheless Southern convicts
have good ground for complaint If less at
tention is paid to their comfort and health
than is paid to the comfort and health of
Northern convicts.
No one will deny that it is an unneces-
sary hardship to convicts from the far
South to expose them to the severe cold
OF a Northern winter. 1t is a wonder that
a much larger percentage of them does
not die from diseases incident to the eli
mate of the Northern States.
A couple of years ago Senator Jones. OF
Florida, called the attention of Congress,
in q speech which attracted much atten-
ton at the time, to the wrong that the
government was infiicting upon Southern
convicts by sentencing them to Northern
prisons instead OF providing prisons for
them in the South. Soon after that speech
bill was introduced providing for a
commission of experts to examine this
whole question Of Federal prisons and to
"ooort plan for Congressional action.
This bill is now in charge of the Commit
tee on Public Buildings.
1t would be gratifying to the South il
the committee were to act upon il
at once. The President thinks the time
has eome for action with respect to Fede
raj prisons, and the people of the South

A foreigner glancing through the COL

claim: ''What fearful record of crimep'
The impression of the moral condition of
the country would be unfavOrable, A
thought might suggest itself that 1t had
not attained to the high civilization
claimed for it. Nevertheless, this would
be but superficial conclusion and would
be unjust. A careful review of the list OF
crimes would reveal the fact that com
paratively few OF the criminals were ma
tive Americans.
For many years an immense tide of
immigration from the overcrowded cOun-
tries Of Europe has flowed steadily to-
ward this country. or the immigrants
very large proportion consists of the
worst elements of the Old Word. Grim
mails and chronic disturbers of the public
peace in their own land have come here
because they could no longer evade the
law there. These have not been assim-
Hated at all. Society has nothing in
common with them. Like the Ishmael-
ties. their hand is against every man,
aud every mans hand is against them.
They swell the list OF criminals and their
misdeeds fill the columns Of the daily
press. Their names indicate their for
eign origin and serve as keys to their
several nationalities. AS rule there is
no more law-abiding people in the world
than genuine Americans.
II the country contained only Ameri-
cans the daily list OF crimes would be
small compared to what it is at pres
ent. Might it not be a wise thing to do
to sift the desirable from the undesirable
immigrants and send the undesirable
ones back to the country from whence
they came?

The question OF equalizing the taxes ia
live one in this State. 1t has been very
generally discussed for several years, but
there is no prospect that it will engage
the serious attention OF the Legislature in
| the near future. For some reason or other
there appears to be a disposition to avoid
it, although, perhaps, there is not men,
Der of the General Assembly who does
not know that thousands OF taxpayers
escape the payment OF very large per
cent. of the taxes they justly owe by
under valuations and failure TO return all
their property.
There are those who think that the
present laws respecting the assessment
and collection of taxes are sufficient to
protect the interests of the State, and that
all that is necessary is TO enforce them.
The only answer to this ia that about as
good men as there are in the State now
administer the tax laws, and they are
unable to reach all the property OF the per-
sistent tax dodgers.
Those members of the Legislature who
favor a lower rate OF taxation are the
ones who ought TO be the most active in
IaNOl vi law lnaI WOulu TedCu Ill JdA-
able property and tax it at a fair valua-
ton, because such law would increase
the total assessed valuation of the prop
erty of the State fully one-third, and that
would permit of reduction OF one-third
in the rate of taxation.
There pending in the South Carolina
Legislature bill which aims to equalize
assessments 1t provides that in each
year, a short time before the time fixed
for the assessment of property, the Audi
tor in each county shall appoint in each
township as assessors three Intelligent
men, who are well informed respecting
all the real and personal property in the
township. They are to assess all taxable
property at a fair valuation. The chair
men Of the township boards form
county board who hear, on a day fixed
for that purpose, the complaints of those
who think the valuation OF their property
Is too high.
1t can be seen that this plan Is we'll cat
culated to distribute the burden of taxa
ton equally.
Doubtless there is a great deal of
opposition to this bill in South Carolina,
and there would be To such a bill in this
State, but the opposition comes from those
mainly who are not honest taxpayers.

Starvation Wages,

Senator Mcpherson has always been
classed as proteetionist. He is good
Democrat, his only fault being mis- wrong
notions about the tariff. Lately, however,
he has shown thar his tariff views have
undergone very marked change, and
when he gets chance he will doubtless
be found voting with those who favor re-
ductiOn of the tariff.
He Is beginning to understand that the
immense monopolies which the tariff has
made possible are making the poor poorer
and the rich richer. In a speech in the
Senate few days ago be said: 1.-The man
who gives me employment, which must
have or starve, is my master, let me call
him what | may; and that is the
position of labor to-day in the
manufactures of the country. We
have seen all illustration OF it this
winter in the great coal combination.
Six or seven great railroads owning all
the anthracite coal fields in the country
combine together and declare that the
price of coal shall be advanced. 1t is ad-
vanced 40 or 80 cents per ton. want to
know if any Senator dare rise in his
seat ana say now LABOR Is 10 get'any part
OF the benefit resulting from that in
crease. The laborer works in the mines
still at starvation wages, notwithstand-
ing the rise in coal, and the poor laborer
elsewhere forced to buy coal or freeze is
compelled to pay the so cents advance"
The argument of the protectionists is
that protection is necessary to protect
workingmen against starvation wages.
Senator Mcpherson, who all along has
been protectionist, now shows that
workingmen are threatened with starva-
ton by great mOnopolles and that these
monOpolies are fostered by protection.
