The South Carolina Legislature

members of either house, judges and
all other state and county officials to

cable both TO the official who accepts
and TO the agent who offers the pass.
This is one OF the most stringent
laws OF the kind in force in any state,
and it will no doubt put am end TO
the abuse aimed at. But experience
has abundantly shown that such a
law is absolutely necessayS for hu-
man nature in the average law-mak-

strong enough to resist the bias Of a
free pass. Before long, in all prob
ability, public opinion will compel
the enactment Of similar laws in ev.

to have driven a Pennsylvania into
the lunatic asylum. He thus stated
the case.
"I married a willow who had
grown up daughter My father visit
ed our house very often, fell in love
with my step-daughter and married
her. So my father became my som

Some Of our physicians suggest
that the board Of aldermen
should pass an ordinance requiring
all births and deaths within the cor
pornte limits TO be reported to their
clerk and duly re- 0 'dcd in a book
kept for that purpose. The cause Of
death should be certified to by the
attending physician, and no burial
allowed without such certificate and
a burial permit issued by the clerk.
This register could be kept with lit
tie trouble and would form a record
Of much value, especially as showing
how the two races compare in tho
matter of births and deaths. In all
civilized communities the gathering
of vital statistics is among the recog-
nized functions of municipal govern.

In this country southern politi-

radicalism by the northern demo-
cratic leaders. This was evident in
the late contest for the speok,r.hip
Of the house. A majority Of the
southern members voted for Crisp,
mere "tariff rcformer," while Mills,
the ayowod free.trader, got his chief
support from the democrats Of tho
north, including nearly the entire
democratic delegation from New En-
gland. The courage shown by
these men in taking this stand con-
trasls strongly with the more timii
course Of the southern members.
Many Of these doubtless prcf'rred
Mills, but feared that his views wcrc

sentiment in doubtful states like

NJ. L. Stern, of Denver, is one OF
the most sensible Jurors that we have
heard of lately. During a trial there
last week, Judge Furman, for the
defense, in his speech merciIessly
ridiculed one Conrad probabIy g
witness on the opposite sidc), quoting
scripture, and telling a string Of
jokes. Juror Stern bluntly inter-
rupted him with the words:
"We have listened 10 stories IN
the Jury room ever since this trial
commenced, and il il pleases Judge
Furman, we would much prefer that
he confne himself to the facts and
law in the case. We are tired"
A terrific uproar followed in which
lawyers and spectators oil took part ;
and the officers being unable to quell
the tumult, court had to be adjourn
ed till next day.
Public opinion will sustain Mr..
Stern in his eminontly sensible pro.
test. II opposing counsel we're linn
tied In the length Of their speeches
and forced to confne themselves 10

not SO often be hopelessly befogged,
and justice would bc meted out far

"This withdrawal is made from

A WORD FOR COL, SHlRRER

The course of chief supervisor Shatfer
In the case of Mr.. Reed from Halifax
would indicate that Col. Shaffer had
made up his mind to take charge of elec.
tions In North Carolina. Any attempt
10 play the role of Tom Reed with q
lorce OIL IN this State will prove a signal
failure, and Col. Shatfer had better nm.
derstand this in the outset. He will moi,
oe able to intimidate any one by his arbi
trary course, which will not be tolerated
oy the law abiding citizens of this State
TINS county, this city. The force bill
Is not the law, Col Shatfer. and Won are
premature IN your effort to apply its
principles IN case where the arrested
party proved by the witnesses for the
government the absence Of all criminal
intent. You decide, Col. Shaffer that
intent is not the essence of a crime tbns
violating every known principle of Grim
inal Jurisprudence. You have violated
the law yourself. Be careful that it's
strong hand is not put upon vou
Law, equity, justice, cannot be violated
with impunity in the capital of North
Carolina. This had better be remem
bered.
