The New RsRistration Law.

The new registration law for this
county is quite satisfactory. II does not
! differ from the old law in important par
ticulars, except in one respect, and that is,
that it provides for the selection of two
registrars by commission appointed by
the Judge of the superior court, the judge
Of the city court and the ordinary. Under
the old law there was much less red tape.
The county commissioners appointed the
registrar, or, as he was called, the clerk
Of registration. The last clerk of regis
tration was MIR. James Mcintyre, and a
committee, composed of the candidates
for county commissioners, that examined
the registration books, found nothing of
which they could REASONABLE complain.
The new law is vastly different from
the registration bill that was introduced
and supported by the Chatham delega-
ton. The bill was very Objectionable,
but owing to the vigorous opposition of
the MORNING News and citizens commit
tee the Objectionable features were elimi-
mated.
The aim Of the bill. as it was originally,
was, first, to put the registration in con
bADA VI tAAC VI hlAAhi otIOiiN- " CldiEC bilG
time Of registration from the spring to
the summer months and, third to make
the last years tax receipt evidence that
all previous taxes had been paid
NOOne of these features is contained
in the new law. The Senate struck out
the second and third features, and the
first feature was dropped by agreement.
The supporters of the bill, having seen it
deprived Of what they evidently consid-
cred its most valuable features, thought,
probably, that it ceased to be matter of
much consequence if it was deprived of
It's other feature
The new registration law will increase
the burden of taxpayers somewhat, and it
is not clear what special benefit the people
are going to derive from it. While we
are satisfied that the three Judges will
appoint a commission that will see
that there is a fair registration, we are
confident that if the registration had
been left in the hands of the county com
missioners they would have appointed
registrar who would have conducted
the registration to the satisfaction
of the entire county. They
were chosen recently by a majority
of their fellow citizens and have the CON
hdence of the public.
There is no doubt a general feeling of
satisfaction that the bill as it passed the
House failed to become law. Having
the support of the solid Chatham delega-
ton, and sustained by legislative cour-
tesy, it would have passed in that shape
had it not been for the vigorous fight
against it by the MORNING News and the
citizens committee

Gratis are talking about asking Congress
man Wilson to step aside when Congress

made, and let some other democrat more
nearly in harmony with their views have
the nomination. Mr.. Wilson, as chairman
of the ways and means committee, has
not secured for them as much protection
of iron and coal as they would like. 1t
is not at all probable, however, that the

A Surprise for Mr.. Rlount.

Truly Mr.. Blount has enemies. He was
thought to be good man before he went
to Honolulu as the Presidents special
commissioner, For twenty years in con-
gress his sterling integrity excited ad-
miration. Now he is in danger of being
called a very bad man. Some wicked
senator proposes introducing into the
Senate resolution inquiring whether he
is not guilty Of an Offense defined in sec
tion $685. of the United States statutes.
This section occurs in the chapter en-
titled, "crimes against the existence of
the government" and it provides, that
any citizen of the United States who car
ries on correspondence with any foreign
government without being duly author
lied to do so, with the purpose of in
tiuencing the conduct of such govern
ment, shall be punished by fine and inn
prisonment. 1t is claimed that Mr..
Blount was not duly authorized to carry
on a correspondence with the Hawaiian
government because his appointment was
not confirmed by the Senate, and that
therefore he is liable to the punishment
prescribed in the statute.
Mr. Biount will not take to the woods
to avoid responsibility for what he did in
Hawaii. No doubt he understood very
well what he was doing when he became
the special commissioner of the Presi-
dent. Indeed, there is not the remotest
probability that it will be held that the
President exceeded his authority in APP
pointing him. The talk of bringing him
before criminal court is one of the
amusing things of the Hawaiian middle.

A trades union sensation with details
somewhat similar to the poisoning Incl
dent of the famous Homestead strike has
been sprung at Wilkesbarre, Pa. During
the recent strike on the Lehign road the
company employed a number of non-union
telegraph operators for service at Wilkes
barre. They took the place of striking
union men. The non-umon operators
were fed at a restaurant. On Thursday
some forty-odd of them were taken VIC
lently sick after a meal, and later one of
them died. An autopsy was made upon
his body, as a result of which the physi-
clans announce that the man died of ar
senic poisoning. His stomach was liter
ally purified by the drug The others
of the poisoned operators will probably
recover. The coroner and county detect
ives suspect the poison was put in the
mems food by strikers.

says Brandt is alive aud well, and win be
produced at the trial, He is suspected OF
having killed his former wife; he SAYS
she is at present alive, residing at Chi
cago with their l6-year-old daughter, and
that they will visit New York to testify
for him. From the evidence so far taken.
itappears that a resurrection of the SUP
posedly dead would be about the only

Gov. Pennoycr, of Oregon, must have
the cuticle of an elephant. He has been
snubbed frequently since he attempted to
snub President Harrison. yet he goes on
trumpeting just as though the world were
intensely interested in his noise. Asa
matter of fact, even the people of his own
state pay no attention to him. 1t will be
remembered that he issued a free silver
proclamation, fixing the date for Thanks
giving day one week ahead of the date
fixed by President Cleveland When
Pennoyer's thanksgiving came around
the people of Oregon paid no attention to
it, but engaged in their ordinary pursuits.
On the other Thanksgiving, however, they
joined the rest of the country in cele-
brating. The people on the outside are be-
ginning to understand that Pennoyer's
maunderings are not the sentiments of

1T would not be in the least surprising
if the South Carolina legislature should
adopt the guillotine for the punishment of
rapists, as proposed by Representative
Williams and reported in our dispatches
yesterday. All the scheme needs to in
sure its acceptance is Gov. Tillman's sane
ton, and as he is apt TO do unexpected
things, the sanction may be given. 1t
maybe doubted that the guillotine would
have any greater moral effect than the
gallows, but the esta blishment of a state
guillotiRe would create another Office. that
ofexecutioner, to be filled by the gov
ernor.

Returning the Compliment.

A very novel sight was witnessed at
No. 8 Union Square, New York Sunday
morning. A gray-bearded and thick
bodied Mussulman, whose head was
adorned with a red fez, stood on the
porch of the house, and with outstretched
arms summoned the faithful adherents of
Mohammed to prayer
A well sustained effort to make con-
verts to MOhammedanism is being made
in this country. The money is supplied
by syndicate Of wealthy Mussulmans, of
Arabia and India. A paper in the inter-
est of that religion is being printed in
New York. 1t is called the Moslem World
From its office great deal of literature
bearing upon Mohammedanism is scat
tered over the country.
1t is not probable that this religion will
make much progress in New York or
elsewhere in the United States. There
is little in its spirit or forms that appeals
strongly to Americans There will be. of
course, some converts. Indeed, there are
already quite a number
But there are likely to be more CON
vertS to Mohammedanism in this country
than there are to Christianity in Moham-
medan countries. Christian missionar-
les, from all accounts, are not successful
with the Mohammedans Can it be that
the Mussulmans are sending missionaries
to us as sort of compliment for sending
missionaries to them, or are they really
anxious to proselyte us?
