The state saloon law of South Carolina
has been declared unconstitutional by
Judge Hudson of the circuit court on the
ground that it creates monopoly, and an
order has been issued restraining the Dar-
lington county board from opening dis
pensary. The action of Darlington will be
followed by other counties. The state has
also supply of about $780, worth OF
liquor and machinery, with heavy daily ex-
penses. The present law has been in force
only a few days and II dispensaries have
been established. Julian Ralph, the well
known newspaper writer, who has been to
South Carolina, is positive that the law

The attention of the country has been
called to the silver convention at Denver
remarks of Gov. Waite the Popuist, who
said: "If the money power shall attempt
to sustain its usurpation by the strong
hand we will meet that issue when it is
forced upon us, for it is better infinitely
that blood should flow to the horses brides
than that our national liberties should be
destroyed. If it is true that the United
States is unable to carry out its govern
mental policy without the dictation or con-
sent of foreign powers, if we are prov
ince of European monarcbies, then we
need another revolution, another appeal to
arms"

The cyclone which swept over the north
western section of Iowa on Thursday night
of last week was the fercest and most de-
structive of all similar elemental visitations
known to this generation. Nothing sur
yived the onset of the tornado, and even
cellars and cyclone pits failed to protect
the affrighted inhabitants. At Pomeroy,
a village in Calhoun county of scarcely
1000 population, A persons were killed
outright, l08 were more or less seriously
injured, and over 200 residences were
swept out of existence, while at Cherokee
Fonda and other places there was loss of
life and destruction of buildings. A con-
servative estimate places the property loss
at $S00,0O0.

There has not been a special session of
Congress for IA years, and the one which
will assemble on August 7 will be the
twelfth in the history of the government.
In the earlier decades of the century special
sessions were more frequent than they
have been of late, because of threatening
crises in our relations with foreign powers.
Jefferson called Congress together twice in
extraordinary session during his admins
tration, and Madison twice also, one to de-
clare our second war of independence. The
most momentous subject which any special
session was called upon to deal with was
the opening of the Rebellion. President
Lincoln convened Congress July 4, 1861.

A Terrible Commentary on Mob Ven.

The hanging of an innocent negro at
Bardwell, KY, is terrible commentary on
mob vengeance. Two girls had been muir
dered and the negro executed was found in
Missouri many miles from the scene of the
crime. Over 1000 people, from four states,
joined in the mob, and the coolest man in
the crowd was the negro, who protested
his innocence to the last He would have
been burned had not the father of the
murdered girls asked that he be put to
death in less painful manner. The dead
body was riddled with bullets, chopped and
hacked with hatchets and knives, stamped
into shapeless mass and finally soaked
with oil and burned. The temper of the
mob is shown by the remark of an old
farmer: "Never mind the wheat, let it rot
on the ground; we're going to burn that
niger" Such revolving outrages on law
and order are not new in the South and
West, and it is to be hoped that tie people
there whose tempers go off at half-cock
have learned lesson which they will re-
member. If so, the poor negro will not
have died in vain.

The circuit from which the late Associate
Justice Blatchford was appointed to the
supreme court contains the districts of
northern, southern and eastern New York,
Vermont and ConnecticlA, and in it are so
many distinguished lawyers that President
Cleveland is likely to be embarrassed in
choosing from them a successor to the dead
jurist. For Vermont ek-Mnister E. j.
Phelps is mentioned. For Connecticut,
Carlos French. For New York, Judge
Lacombe of the United States circuit court,
appointed to his present place by President
Cleveland, Frederick r. Coudert and James
C. Carter. The last two have been en-
gagged with Mr.. Phelps as counsel for the
government in the Bering sea case.

There were nearly as many cases of ty-
phoid fever in St. Johnsbury during June
as in New York city and more than in all
the rest of Vermont. The disease has
been prevalent there for more than year,
and almost every case is traceable to drink
ing water from the village works. The
state board of health made an inspection
last week and the conclusion reached was
that st. Johnsbury had the poorest source
of water supply of any place in New Eng
land. The sewage of a village of 5000 in
habitants and large amount of other sur
face drainage comes into the stream above
the water works. The value of pure and
abundant water supply cannot be overesti-
mated. st. Johnsbury should secure new
source of supply and the epidemic there
should serve as warning to other places.

Congressman Walker of Massachusetts
has made public a letter from Senator
John Sherman, in which the latter states
that the compromise of 1890 was agreed
to because it was the only expedient by
which the free coinage of silver could be
defeated. President Harrison could have
been depended upon to veto free coinage
bill, but this would have left the Bland act
in force. The Sherman law defeated both
the free coinage and the Bland law, which
had piled up $500, 100000 in the treasury
and tided the country over great danger
Its usefulness, however, is ended. A new
law should retain that part of the Sher-
man law which guarantees the parity of
gold and silver and all government paper
money.

BRATTLEBORO FRIDAY, JULY IA, 1893.

Blatchford was born in New York. He
graduated from Columbia college at the
age of II, was admitted to the bar when
2S and two years later was made counselor
of the New York supreni court He was
appointed by President Arthur as associate
justice of the United States supreme court,
March 20, 1882, to succeed Justice Hunt.
Justice Blatchford had a strong intellect,
complete knowlege of the law, and pos
sessed in a marked degree the best attrib-
utes of a iurist.

The pension bureau has recently notified
many pensioners throughout the country
who are drawing pensions under the de-
pendent pension act that payment of their
pensions will be suspended for 60 days,
during which time they are required to
show cause why they should continue to
draw pensions. The testimony necessary
to prevent their being dropped from the
rolls is the certificate of reputable physi-
clan, attested by two witnesses, to the eff
feet that the pensioner is precluded from
active labor owing to injuries or disability
not the result of his own vicious habits.

Factory Burned at CharIestown, N. H

The George S. Bond factory for the
manufacture of musical instruments was
burned at Charlestown, N. H., last night.
The loss will exceed $4,000, partially
covered by insurance. The village is with
out protective fire service, but the citi-
zens turned out in body and saved
thousands of dollars worth of surrounding
property. The Boston & Maine railroad
is indebted to W. R, Sheldon, their agent
there, in promptly ordering an engine from
Bellows Falls, thus saving several freight
cars which stood on sidetracks. Thirty
five men and women are thrown out of
employment.

There are % licensed saloons in Fitch
burg, Mass, and the Sentinel says that
$1,000 a day will not pay the drink bill of
the city. With 800 selling days in the year
it is evident that Fitchburg is paying near
ly a million dollars year for drink. A
showing like this in a progressive city of
%, 600 inhabitants is one of the facts which
causes Vermont people to be devoutly
thankful for prohibition.
