The Trial of the Meyer Murderers.

The Trial Of the Meyer Murderers-
The case Of the men accused Of numbering
August W. Meyer should be tried just as
soon as the solicitor general can get ready
for the trial, and he ought to give his at
teation to it at once. No other business OF
/ the court. that could be postponed. should
be permitted 70 stand in the way Of it.
. Public sentiment demands that those who
are guilty should be punished quickly.
The murder was a carefully planned,
( cold -blooded and brutal one. Il indicated
/ depth Of moral depravity scarcely con-
ceivable FOR the purpose Of getting
! possession OF a few dollars a human life was
destroyed. Had not this been a law
abiding. order-loving and conservative
community those accused Of the crime
would have been lynched. It was far bet
ter, Of course, that the law was permitted
to take its course. not only because no room
will be left for raising the question as TO
the guilt Of those who may be adjudged
guilty and punished, but also because swift
punishment by lawful means will have
far more beneficial effect than punishment
inflicted by unlawful means would have
had.
The sooner verdict is reached and punish
ment is inflicted the more deeply impressed
will be the class to which the murderers be-
long. And it Is absolutely necessary that
the impression that justice strikes quickly
and with terrible certainty should be as
profound as it is possible to make it. Ia
proportion as it is believed that the crimes
Of violence can be committed with i'm
punity will crimes of that character in
crease.
Among the blacks born since the civil
war there are altogether too many worth
less and depraved characters who will not
work If they can avoid doing 30, and who
eventually become vagabonds, thieves and
murdersrs. About the only way to prevent
the number Of them from increasing is to
infiict quick punishment upon them when
ever any of them are convicted Of crime.
So cold-blooded murder as that of Au-
gust w. Meyer, which had only robbery
for its object, is well calculated to cause I'M
easiness. The punishment of the murderers
should be so prompt as to territy other evil
doors Of a like character and lessen the
probability of other similar murders being
committed.

A Hotel Inducemenr

The advertisement of a well-known hotel at q
mountain resort in the south, which appears
from time to time in the great newspapers OF
the north. puts among the chief advantages of
the hotel along with the resident physician and
the mountain air, the fact that "tenderloiu
steaks may be had by the guests, says the
New York Tribune. 1t seems to the uninitiated
somewhat unnecessary to pay high advertising
ton with a first-class hotel: as well say that
hot and cold baths are furnished aud clean
beds. But people who have tried southern
hotels, outside the big cities. know that real
tenderloin steaks, with the accent on the tender,
are as scarce in the south as hens teeth. Peo-
p with jaws of only ordinary strength gener-
ally despair of deriving any satisfaction from
steaks Of the tough, wiry little grass fed cattle

steer OF the north is tidbit that is not appre-
ciated at its true value when one can get iu

The Farmers Are in Earnest.

The farmers Of the south are very much
in earnest, apparently, in their efforts to
bring about a reduction in the cotton crop.
The resolutions adopted by the cotton
planters convention that met in Augusta
and adjourned Thursday, show that they
understand how important it is that very
much less number Of acres shall be planted
in cotton this season. But will the farmers,
in accordance with the advice of their
representative men, do what common sense
tells them they shouldl 1t is all well enough
to pass resolutions urging reduction OF
at least 20 per cent. in the cotton
area, and for the newspapers to print ar
ticles showing that the farmers will be ben
Gifted by such reduction, but how can the
farmers be induced to act in accordance
with the resolutionsi Some of the very men
who assist in passing the resolutions
will plant more acres in cotton this
year in all probability than they
did last If somebody could hit upon
plan to secure honest and harmonious
action in this matter there would be eau Sc
for genuine rejoicing all over the south.
The farmers are very much in earnest in
their desire to cut down cotton production.
but unfortunately they wans their neigh
bors to do what they do not propose to do
themselves. The low price of cot
ton this season will do more toward reduc-
ing the next cotton crop than all the resolu-
tions that have been passed, because
thousands of farmers have neither the
money nor the credit to plant as much
cotton this year as they did last.
However, there is no reason why the farm
ers should not call conventions and adopt
resolutions. The resolutions cannot do any
harm and may do some good.
The Augusta convention made one sur-
gestion that had not been made by previous
| conventions. 1t is that commission
merchants Of the south that handle food
products assist in making a market for
such products from southern farms. If
food crops could be made money crops
there would be less hesitation among
southern farmsrs in giving attention to
them.

Caucus Act ion Necessary


Widely different views are entertained by
the democrats in congress as TO the courss
the Democratic party SHOULD pursue with
respect to the tariff and silver. A great
many think that an effort should be made
to pass a general tariff bill, or at least 70
pass strong resolutions condemning the Nc
/ Kiulev law and the tariff policy Of the Re-
publican party, while others favor Mr..
. Springer's plan, which is to pass a number
of tariff bills, each one reducing the duty
on one or more articles or putting the arti-
! Gle on the free list. So far as silver is con-
/ cerned all the eastern members, and some
/ Of the western and southern members, OBJ
! ject 20 a free silver coinage bill, while per-
haps majority Of the members from the
west and south would vote to make the
coinage Of silver free.
There is no possibility Of harmonizing the
different views on these two importan t
questions. 1t is admitted that it is abso-
lutely necessary that the Democratic party
shall have a settled policy upon both Of
them before the beginning OF the presiden-
tial campaign. Under the circumstances
the only thing to do. and, in fact, the only
thing that can be done, TO insure harmony
is to submit the questions to a caucus and
abide by its action.
Already a caucus is talked of. Mr..
Springer. the chairman of the ways and
means committee, in the few short meetings
the committee has had, has found out there
is great deal of opposition to his plan for
tariff legislation. The committee has done
virtually nothing as yet. and the prospect
that it will do anything soon is not very
promising.
Unless a course of action is decided upon
in caucus the greater part Of the session will
be taken up with profitless discussions, and
when the national campaign begins the
democrats will have accomplished little or
nothing in the way OF legislation. The
country will be In doubt as to what the
party proposes to do with respect to either
the tariff or silver.
There is not much doubt that caucus
will be called at an early day and
that it will be decided to pass strong tariff
reform resolutions in order to make the
tariff the leading issue in the national
campaign, and that a way will be found to
push the silver question into the back
ground 30 as to keep it out of
the campaign. A great many
democrats favor the plan that was
outlined in the MORNING NEWS a few DAYS
ago. viz, to refer the silver question to an
international monetary conference. That
would be, certainly, the best way to get rid
Of it for awhile. There is no doubt that
democrats cannot reach an agreement with
respect to it at the present time. The ma
jority, therefore, must rule. and caucus is
necessary to find out what the will of the
majority is.
