The belief expressed by some who took

inactivity. He has a plain duty TO per
form. and he ought not to hesitate o

At the mass meeting in Columbia the
opinion was openly expressed that
the governor is partly responsible for the
lynching, because he failed 10 give
Peterson the protection to which he was
entitled. One of the speakers went 50 far
as to express the opinion that the gov
eruor is more responsible for the lynch

ing was doubtless composed largely Of
those politically opposed to the governor,
and the sentiments expressed, therefore,
were unfriendly to him. But there is
no doubt that he erred greatly in sending
Peterson to Denmark with an insufficient
guard. He ought not to have sent him
there at all, but, having decided to send
him, he ought to have made sure that no
harm would come to him.
Gov. Northen of this state has taken a
firm stand against mob law. He proposes
TO have prosecuted vigorously every one
who assists in a lynching, and he will
have the support ofpublic sentiment in all
parts of the state. There are authorities
to execute the laws and courts to ad-
minister them. Unless the law is re-
speCted there will be no security for any
one. Citizens will lose confidence in the
ability of the state to give them the pro-
lection to which they are entitled, and
they will 60 where mob violence does not
take the place of law.
The whole country is watching Gov.
Tillman to see what he will do in respect
to the Denmark affair If he does nothing
the injury his state will suffer will be far
greater than he can repair during his adj
ministration. 1t will be understood,
whether rightly or wrongly, that he
secretly favors lynch law, notwithstand-
ing his assertion to the contrary. Not
only win he be condemned but there will
be prejudice against South Carolina that
will cause investors and immigrants to
keep away from her. He has it in his
power to put a stop to lynchings, and if he
does not exercise it the people of that
state will be justified in holding the
opinion that lynchers are in no danger of
being punished

1t appears that juvenile thugs, burglars
and toughs have been running things
pretty much as they pleased in New York
for the past few days A 13-year-old son
of John Brisben Walker, editor of the
Cosmopolitan Magazine, was held up"
and stabbed by two boys on Saturday. On
Sunday five S-year-old boys bmglarized a
restaurant on Greenwich street. On the
next night two lads of Is and Is years old
put on masks and broke into a grocery
store on Beaver street, and at the same
time another gang of boys broke into a
cigar store on New street. Such a record,
even for as big a town as New York, is
something remarkable

The directors of the fair are in danger
Of losing one of their most attractive feat
ures at the opening concerts. Mr.
Thomas, in arranging for the concerts,
invited Paderewski to appear as a soloist
and play his own music, which invitation
he accepted, considering that a great
compliment had been paid him. And the
fair directors were glad he accepted, be-
cause he is a great attraction.
1t looks now, however, as if Pader-
ewsl1i would not be heard Director
General Davis announced some time ago
that no piano of a make that is not among
the exhibits should be permitted on the
fair grounds under any circumstances
1t seems that Paderewsl1i is under CON
tract to use piano of a certain maDufact-
urer in all his public concerts. The
pianos of this manufacturer are not
among the exhibits. There is, therefore.
a deadlock Paderewski is willing to
play if the fair managers will furnish
| him the kind of piano he is permitted to
use and they cannot provide him with
that kind of piano because of the order
of Director General Davis. Will Mn.
Davis back down or will the public be de
prived of the pleasure of hearing Pad

1t is said in New York that information
has been semi-offcially'' conveyed to
both Carlyle Harris, the condemned
poisoner, and his mother that Gov Flower
will save him from the electric chair.
The alleged plan of procedure is for the
governor to reprieve him pending the re
port of the commissioner investigating
the new testimony in his case and finally
to commute his sentence to Imprisonment
for life. The person who gave this prema-
ture information to the New York Times
says: Gov. Flower is very kind
hearted man. He does not believe in cap
ital punishment. He may believe that
Harris is guilty, but the intercession of
powerful political friends and the fearful
walls of his mother have produced the
desired effect and Harris will escape
death" If Harris is guilty of the crime
of which he has been convicted, Gov
Flower would betray the trust of the peo-
pie in interfering with the death sentence.
If Harris poisoned his wife, there was not
one mitigating circumstance connected
with the deed. If he is innocent, then he
should go scot free. The Harris case is
not one in which to take middle ground.

BALLOT Reform Needed.

Under the Rhode Island election laws
majority vote is necessary to elect At
the recent state election neither candi-
date for governor received a majority.
The democrat, however, came out about
1CO votes ahead of the republican The
state election failing to decide between
the candidates. it devolves upon the leg
islature to elect the governor. But there
again comes rub In the state election
a number of members failed to receive a
majority vote This nCCessitated numCr-
GUS by-elections to fill the places. It
is necessary in these by-eections, as in
the state election, for candidates to re-
ceive majority votes. The by-elcctions
have been fruitful sources of quarrels,
contests and vexations generally, and still
the politics of the Assembly is not set
tied The democrats have won the lower
house and claim that when the contest
shall have been decided they win have a
working majority on Joint ballot. The
republicans. on The other hand, claim
that they have elected members enough
to give them control of the Assembly, and
affirm that they will elect the governor
The outcome will probably be two
legislatures, two governors and an ap-
peal to the courts. And all this after a
protracted and costly election under an
antiquated system A simple plurality
election law would have obviated all the
bothersome by-elections and ended the
fight on the evening of the state election.
Rhode Island, as well as Georgia, needs
a new election law. But Rhode Island
needs one worse than Georgia.

The once notorious Lizzie Borden muir
der case, at Fall River, Mass, has dropped
almost out of sight recently. Not that it
has been disposed of; it has not yet been
brought to trial, nor does anybody know
when it will be called. The young woman
has been in Jail now more than seven
months, with only an incomplete thread
of circumstantial evidence and dozen
detectives theories to back the charge
against her. II would seem that the con-

speedy trial by jury of her peers does
not amount to much

A few days ago it was reported that in
the Memphis district and in Northern
Alabama the cotton crop had been disas-
trously affected by cold, and in dispatches
printed in the MORNING News yesterday
it was stated that the crop in Mississippi
had been killed or greatly injured by
frost. If it were not for the fact that
nearly all of the cotton seed had been
marketed much of the injured crop might
be replanted; but lack of seed will pre-
vent the replanting of the full acreage.
Thus the crop may be to some extent re
duced against the will of the planters.

AN ELECTRICAL WEDDING.
The Guests Were Served with Something
Beyond Usual Entertainment.

AnC 0utbth WtEe btTNcu Win something
Beyond Usual Entertainment.
That was wonderful electrical dis
play at the wedding of Miss Lydia Mil
Ter and Mr.. David Rosenbaum on Tues
day evening. After the marriage cere-
mony had been completed the bride and
groom took their positions against a
background of potted plants and flowers
set against screen of evergreens. Tiny
incandescent lamps were concealed in
the foliage of the screen, and glowed
and disappeared irregularly like firefiies
in among the trees. Electrical butter
flies and birds perched among the leaves
and flowers. Overhead was a crown of
Chinese lanterns, each containing a 10
candle power lamp.
The bridal arch of evergreen under
which the newly married pair stood to
receive their friends was provided with
q row Of electric lamps in red, white
and blue. On top of the arch was
perched an American eagle, and on the
shield of pink velvet which formed the
keystone Of the arch was outlined in in
candescent lights the figure of heart,
the initials Of the bride and groom and
the date 1892. Two bronze statues stood
guard at the entrance of the room, and
their helmets were illuminated by in
candescent lamps.
The electrical wonders did not stop
here. The most ingenious feature of
this unique wedding reception followed
in the scattering of rice and imitation
snow fakes by two electric fan motors,
placed in the gallery overhead. AS the
guests entered the supper room there
was a sudden outburst of electrical bells
and musical entertainments. AS the
guests were seated there was blaze Of
light, ard at the completion of the first
course the words Good luck" appeared
over the heads of the newly married
couple, and an electric hairpin, gift
to the bride, became incandescent and
surrounded her head with a halo of light
Wine bottles were suddenly trans
formed into glowing candelabra. The
feast was one long continued series OF
electrical surprises, and however the
guests at ordinary weddings may feel
the guests at this wedding must have
thought that they were amply recon-
pensed for their outlay in wedding gifts
The Baltimore attempt to make wed
dings entertaining and to give the guests
better return than is customary FOL
their trouble and expense may or may
not be elsewhere initiated. Democrat
may object that such weddings would
tend to the increase of luxury and ex
travagance. Nervous people may no
relish the startling suddenness will
which banquets are made to bloom witt
blaze of light, or the mysterious ring
ing of bells or the sounding, unidenti
hed music. Nevertheless a good man,
people besides the bride will remembe
this wedding for many a day.-Balti
