rur sorrU CAROLINA LYNCHING

The action OF the public meeting at
Columbia. South Carolina. on TUESDAY
rioht denouncing the lynching OF the
rogro ., Denmark in that State as de
structive Of the peace OF society an"
suhversive Of Christian civilization, VIII
receive a hearty response in the BOSOM
If every Southern man who has the WEI
fare OF his country at heart and VINO Is
interested IN the development Of his race
under a rule that respects the mandates
of the law In its efforts to maintain social
order We must degenerate into rabpie
of unthinkins brutes II such acts as this
fail TO receive the unqualified condemna-
tion Of good men. The crime OF which
this negro was accused cannot be pun
ished too severly or too promptly, but II
must be punished according to the man
dates Of the law after the accused has
heen confronted with the witnesses
against him in open court that he may
by jury duly chosen be acquitted OF the
charge II he has not committed the act
or condemned II he has. Anything less
than this is the ending of law and the rule
OF chaos.
We entirely share also in the meetings
condemnation OF Governor Tillman for
sending this negro to Denmark. whilst
the public mind was in that state OF fury
against him that animated II at the time.
It is hardly possible TO acquit the Gov
ernor OF supine indifference to the
mans fate that makes him, as the Com
monwealths Attorney openly claimed be-
fore the meeting. an accessory before the
fact. The negro had surrendered 10 him
TO find an asylum against the frenzy Of
the mob, with unfailing protestations of his
innocence and preparations TO prove II.
Every instinct of humanity, every ten
dency towards a respect for law, de-
manded that the Governor should see him
protected and fairly tried. II 1t required
all the force and power OF the State TO
secure that result. Instead Of pursuing
such a course however. he at once sent
him to the scene OF the outrage where
500 men were waiting for him to do just
the thing that was done.
The case is one OF inconceivabe atrocity

The carriage was blocked by the usual
New York tangle of trucks and cars and
pedestrians. so that IL offered an oppor-
tunity to the people wedged In around It
to study the altogether pretty girl leaning
at her ease upon the cushions inside. she
was dressed in a moderate evening gown,
a handsome opera cape and an airy dream
OF a Partisan hat, for she was on her way
TO a much written about wedding In
near by church. 1t was the absolute
simplicity Of style and the remarkable
absence of any definite date, or epoch, or
reign which drew the attention Of the
New Workers at the door. This and the
very obvious newness of her appurten-
ances.
A gown OF green, the skirt OF which
fitted smoothly about the hips, but con-
cealed it's trimming below the door, was
the first 10 declare itself. The material
was Liberty satin, a brilliant, supple,
Partisan stuff, high in favor Just at
present The skirt was entirely Of this
soft apple green. The bodice was nodded
with perfection to the girls form, follow
ing every curve without a break into
bretelle or pastron. This was Of satin,
too. but upon the green ground was
stamped a pattern in finest black guipure
lace. 1t looked like an overdress Of rare
denteIle, but 1t was In reality a weave
of the fabric
Around tho waist and folded oddly
about her body, went green satin ribbon,
terminating in a splashing bow well to the
right side
Her cape was OF green velvet trimmed
with cascade of black lace. and her hat
was cOntorted green straw, bearing up
bravely under a garden of pink orchids,
spiked through with two huge jet pins.

REPUBLICAN ASSURANCE.

The Republican papers are. as we nave
frequently noted. very fond OF making
It appear to their readers that the Demo-
cratic administration is responsible for
the present financial embarrassments
which beset the Government, but II any
Northern Republican believes any such
thing he must either be lacking in the
most ordinary intelligence or be afflicted
with the most deplorable ignorance.
When Mr. Cleveland left the White
House in 1899 he left in the Treasury not
only the 800, 100000 gold redemption re-
serve fund. but about slOO,0OO,OO0 more
as surplus. How to dispose Of this
surplus. or rather how TO prevent the
accumulation OF still larger one. was
n question which had long been dis
cussed and Mr. Cleveland had. just be-
fore the election OF 1883 came off. suggest
ed a plan for so doing by wise ana
careful revision Of the Morrill, tariff,
which. though laid for the purpose OF
raising means for carrying on the war,
had been in force during twenty-three
years OF peace.
Unfortunately for the country. Re
publican President and a Congress In
both branches were elected In 1883, and
there was no longer any question about
how to dispose Of the surplus Congress
Immediately began a system Of looting
the Treasury, and. not only scattering
the surplus broadcast. but recklessfy lay
ing such heavy burdens upon the Treas
ury as to leave It on the very verge OF
bankruptcy. But even this did not sat
isfy them and 10 make matters stu
worse. they passed the Sherman law re-
curing the Government to purchase every
year 54.0OO.OOO ounces Of silver. to be
paid for with gold, while the silver lay
useless and cumbersome in the Treasury
vaults With the greatest difficulty,
even the Republican administration was
able. by resorts to all sorts OF trickery
and manipulation OF figures. to keep up
an appearance Of soivency. and finally 1t
went out Of office turning over to the
Democratic successor an empty and
chaotic Treasury in place OF that one full
TO repletion. which they had received
from the Democratic predecessor.
That Mr.. Cleveland will eventually
bring order out Of this chaos there Is
little room 10 doubt. although. OF course
he must depend upon wise legislation al
tho hands OF the Fifty-third Congress
IN enable him to do so. Whether he does
or not however the country Will always
know who TO hold responsible Tor the
serious financial complications, which
o,,fror+ed him when he first assumed
the reins Of Government.

COUNTERFEIT GENUINE SILVER DOL
LARS.

We hear that counterfeit. genuine silver,
doiiars-not genuine counterfeit silver dol
lars-are in circulation here. This seems
paradoxcal. but not half so much IS
many of the propositions OF the free
silver advocates and their Populist allies.
The condition of our financial system
is such that dollars may be coined Of
genuine silver, of greater intrinsic value
than the dollar of our daddies, at such
a great profit as to provoke the art OF
the counterfeiter.
This brings the argument for the present
silver dollar 10 an absurdity. II we want
silver dollars we should have a dollars
worth of silver in them, and then our
financial troubles will be relieved and the
absurdity of making counterfeits of genu-
inc silver will cease. and this kind of
counterfeter will go out of business along
with the wild-eyed financial politicians,
whose votes have made the genuine silver
counterfeit possible.

The Committee on Fire Department held
it's monthly meeting I'm the Council Cham
be- last evening. There were present:
Mr.. r. T. Davis sub-chairman. and
Messrs. w. l.. White Smith and Mitchell.
Mr.. r. 4. l.. Moore appeared before
the committee and asked TO he allowed
10 retain his lumber rack which has been
erected on Broad. near Twelfth street
1Sx6O feet. He asked the same privilege
for the retaining Of a frame office struc-
ture, against both OF which the residents
in the neighborhood had objected.
Mr.. Louis Wendenburg. who lives in
that section. described the danger emanat-
ing from the lumber rack, which he called
a big fire trap, and which had been erected
without a consent. He added that the
objection against the Office was not very
serious, and he, therefore, would not
press IL much.
Mr.. Wendenburg stated that nearly all
the property owners I'm that locality are
opposed to the granting Of the permits
sion.
On motion Of Mr.. White the committee
decided TO recommSpd TO the Council to
reject the permissiSh for a lumber rack
and machine shop
on motion Of Alderman Mitchell II was
decided 10 recommend the granting OF
permit for retaining the one story office

Statistics of silver production show
some facts. which. under existing cir
I'll instances. are exceedingly interesting.
From them II is learned that the output
In certainly increasing, and the falling
price OF the metal shows that the sup
ply Is greater than the demand. The pro-
duct of Colorado for 1892 is 100000 ounces
greater than for the previous year The
decreasing price. OF silver does not cause
any cessation Of labor in the mines. The
reason is plain. Silver can be sold at
price much less than that which now
prevails. and still leave silver mining
the most profitable industry in the coun-
try. There is good authority for the
statement that none OF the silver now Of
fered tn the market costs more than forty
cents an ounce TO produce II. and some
OF the most prolific ores yield the pure
metal at a cost not exceeding fifteen
cents an ounce.
From this II may reasonably be con-
cluded that If silver shall continue TO
increase very much at reduced cost IL
will soon cease to rank as a precious
metal. and will have TO be used only as
token money, like our nickel pieces.

THE RECENT POOL ROOM CASE

THE RECENT POOL ROOM CASE.
II is greatly to be regretted that the
Court Of Appeals of this State found
itself recently compelled to decide that
the measures adopted by the keepers of
racing pool-rooms In this city are not
ATTEMPTED evasions Of the Mushbach law
against dive gambling, but substantial
exet else Of the ordinary rights or c,ti-
zens The act OF the Legislature was
plainly intended 10 suppress the vicious
gambling practices that have grown up
In connection with horse racing, and the
measures resorted to by the individual
who had been indicted were plainly
measures intended 10 amount 20 an
evasion OF the law. The law intended TO
prevent the gambling: the accused in
tended TO secure to his customer an
opportunity TO bet, and the customer
actually did bet Nevertheless, tie ac-
cused ia acquitted. and the law is a
dead letter. There is something. there
fore, out OF joint, either in The law itseIf
arc certainly mismatched, and fail TO
worl: smoothly together.
The turning point of the courts deois-
ion is that this offer to bet, being simIly
received by the, keeper OF the rool-room
In Richmond. and transmitted by him to
an agent on the race track IN New Jer-
sey. which agent found the Dettor and
effected the betting contract, ;re let
must be held to have been made IN New
Jersey. and not In Richmond.
II Is true that two of the Judges dis
sented from the conclusion reached by
the other three. but we shall not under
take to say that the courts conclusi N is
an erroneous one. IL ia the duty OF all
good citizens cheerfully TO accept the
decisions OF the courts as complete and

duty does not at ali interfere however.

lions are concerned. We. therefore. hope
most earnestly that the Legislature VIII
promptly take this subject up again, az
soon as It reassembles. and amend the
law 10 as to make transparent evasions
OF this sort impossible. A provision or
the act making an individual who re-
ceives money to transmit to another
place to be there bet guilty OF arranging
the bet would have effectuaiiy caught
this offender in its meshes. But the
evil aimed at Ia one OF the most demoT-
alizing of the day, and 1t should re rup-
