oARoLTNA's CoLLEoToRsRIP.
representative Brawley May be the
Man to Name the Appointee.


Washington, Oct. Representative
Talbert of South Carolina is kicking at
being called a populist by some of the
papers. He says he is a democrat, and is
squarely on the democratic platform. 1t
is to be hoped that he will always stand
as he says he does.
The political conflict between ex-Rep-
resentative Johnstone and Representative
Latimer still continues Johnstone re-
mains in Washington, and has decidedly
the scoop on Latimer in the matter of Sc
curing appointments.
Secretary Carlisle has called for the
resignation of Collector Webster Of South
Carolina, and his successor may be APP
pointed in the next few days, or perhaps
not until next week 1t may be somewhat
difficult to make a selection as the dele
cation is badly divided. 1t has been
thought that Senator Buffers recon-
mendation would control the matter, but
his determined stand for silver is sup
posed to have injured his influence with
the administration. 1t is well-known
that the administration does not at all
relish the opposition to itself which the
repeal fight in the Senate has developed.
If the administration counts his present
attitude on silver against him, Senator
Butler may get left IN this matter The
only memb of the South Carolina dele
cation who has stood squarely up to the
administration is Mai. Brawley, and it is
not impossible that he may name the sue
Cessful man for collector. 1t is already
limited among those who are interested in
South Carolina matters, that henceforth
Mai. Brawley's voice win be more potent
than that of any other man, in inhuencying
the appointing powers. Maj. Brawley
has persistently refused to indorse Ben
Perry, but 1t is not known yet whom he
will indorse. 1t is believed by some that
the President has purposely withheld the
appointment of collector until he could
ascertain just where the senior senator
stood on repeal. He has learned that
now, beyond doubt, as Senator Butler
has very plainly defined his position,
There is some talk of dark horsen for
collector, but who the dark horse is can
not be foretold, nor even guessed at AL
together, it is an interesting contest for
the Palmetto state.

GOVERNMENT TIMBER.

The New Bill on the Subject to Be

Washington, Oct. 11.--A bill was re-
ported yesterday from the committee on
public lands which provides for the pro-
lection and disposition of timber on lands
now included in the forest reservations of
the United States. Under the law as it
now stands nothing can be done with the
timber or with the lands which are not
covered with timber, but are embraced
within the limits of the reservation. The
bill pending in the House is intended to
obviate these difficulties, but the western
members do not desire that so much

''instead Of using convict labor in
competition with free labor, ia man.
ufacGories, it use it's convicts to break
the stone at Quarries convenient to
the railroads whence it could be
shipped to points along the various
lines. There is hardly a railroad in
the state but has one or more quar-
ries near it and there is refuse stone
suitable for this purpose sufficient to
make all the roads in the state. Then
let the town and county boards make
requisitions for this material and
spread it on the main roads, beginning
at the railroads and extending into
the country. The less travelled roads
can be gravelled and the material can
generally be had within convenient
distance"

penalty which the law could visit
upon him, by was only equaled in bar

lessen all respect Of law and if the

ample of those connected with this
affair he will preform most excellent

LAr1AR'S SUCCESSOR.

President Harrison has put to
shame those Democrats who have
been sneering at what they called his
partisanship in persisting it to be his
duty to appoint successor to Justice
Lamar, by appointing to that posi-
tion Judge Howell e. Jackson,o Ten
neSsee, who is au old line Democrat.
Further than this, President Harri-
son has most emphatieally given the
country, and the Democratic party
particularly, to understand that the
Supreme Court is not a political body,
and that partisanship should not en-
ter therein. They have held all along
that he was a narrow partisan, incapa-
BILE of looking beyond the lines of his
own party, though if honest, they
must confess that for the kind of a
man they have always charged him
with being, his appointments have
been remarkable for the ability they
possess, He has now taken the very
step which they have always proclaim
ed he was not broad enough to take.
Will their own leader ever be able to
rise to the same high plane? Will
his appointments be of such high or
der as to keep the court above and
beyond the charge of politics? He
has had high standard marked out
for him and the people will watch
closely to see how near he comes to
filing it.
As to Judge Jackson, he is said to
be man we'll fitted for the place,
and in point of ability and legal at
tainments is the equal of any of the
splendid appointments the President
has made. In fact, Mr.. Harrison has
been peculiarly fortunate ia the high
grade of his judicial appointments.
While some Republicans are disap-
pointed because Democrat was ap-
pointed, they all agree in saying that
from a point of fitness it is a most ex-
cellent selection. AS United States
Circuit Judge, Mr.. JacksOn's decisions
are said to have been remarkable for
their clearness, and strict interpreter
tion of the law. The strict integrity
of the man is shown in the fight he
made some years ago when Tennes-
see was trying to do herself irrepara-
bic injury by unjustly scaling down
her $27 ,000,0 of Indebtedness. Judge
larson stood for the honor of his
state then and fought his own party
which was in favor of reputation.

NUMBER 35

THEsentenc which was pronounced
on GleferFriday morning by the court
does not give the best of satisfaction
to the public in genera, nine-tenths
of whom felt that if there was
ever case where hanging was justi-
fable under the law it would seem
this was one. II the sentence that
today was pronounced upon Giefer
should be carried out in full, until his
spirit goes before the great Judge Of
the universe, the public would un-
doubtedly rest satisfied that his pun
ishment was sufficient, for to the aver
age man it would be worse than hang
ing. But far too many such criminals
are confined for short time, only to
secure their liberty by pardon. 1t is
because Of this that lynching parties
seek to Justify this total disregard of
law, and take justice into their own
hands. In this case the general pub
lie has closely followed the evidence
given, and was all but unanimous ia
its finding thereon. In view of the
leuiency which has heretofore been
shown homiciders in tlis section of
the state, it would seem that the dis
position Of the present case will only
serve to lessen the fear of the law to
those whose natural tendency is
toward crime. However we believe
the Judge acted conscientiously and
believed his course to be in the best
interests of humanity.
