Those two South Carolina murderers,
Lavelle and Haines, whom the governor has
again respited, have each been under SEN
tence of death for over year, and each has
approached what he supposed was to be his
doomsday half a dozen times. Itseems that
the governor cannot make up his mind
whether the sentence of the court should
be carried out or modified. In the mean
time the punishment Of the worst kind of
criminals is delayed. Lavelle called his
wife to the door of her uncle's residence, in
the city of Charleston. and shot her to
death. Haines added the murder Of his
victim to the crime for which lynchings are
most frequent Gov Tillman is on record
as being unalterably opposed to lynch law,
yet he hesitates to allow the sentence Of the
law to be enforced upon murderers con-
victed after fair trial. Lavelle is white and
Haines is black.

An inquisitive newspaper writer has asked
a number of well known people TO state
how they procured their first watches, and
how they felt when the watches were first
worn. According to this record Mrs. JEFF
ferson Davis won her first watch by success
fully repeating from memory the Sermon
on the Mount. The watch, however, was
not a repeater. Fitzhugh Lee was cadet
at West Point when his first watch was
given TO him by cousin who brought it
from Paris. de wore it in several Indian
fights and in the civil war. Ward Meal
lister purchased his own First" watch in
London, paying $50 for it. He is still
wearing 1t. He had for years been of the
opinion that watch would last a lifetime,
but recently an expert jeweler told him
that his would not last over seventy~dve
years. Therefore he is sad

The young King Of Servia, who recently
seized the government in his own name and
deposed the regency, may find before long
that his haste was too great. The liberals
have issued manifesto in which it is as
serted that the boys actions were at the in
stigation Of politicians into whose power he
has fallen and who hope to profit personally
by the change. Inasmuch as Alexander
lacks year of his majority. his coup was
in violation Of the Servian constitution, and
upon this point the liberals hope to arouse
the people and force the restoration of the
deposed ministry.

Our Carrying Trade.

Senator Frye, OF Maine. talked TO the
Manufacturers Club Of PHILADELPHIA Mon
day night on the sub jsct Of the ''Reconstruc-
ton ofthe American Marine after point
ing out that notwithstanding our immense
commerce. our abundance OF ship-building
materials, our splendidly equipped shipyards.
our boundless seacoast and our tens of thou
sands Of skilled mechanics, our ocean-car-
rytng trade has gone from MS. the senator
said that Of the III vessels which left San
Francisco last year, only eight OF them car
ried the American flag, while 10J carried
the British. I've carried last year" said
the senator, "l4 per cent. OF the tonnage.
while in 1910 it was 95 per cent. If we had
carried IS per cent. Of the exports and i'm
ports last year the Delaware and ScbuyI-
kill rivers would have been lined with shiR-
yards. Last year we paid Great Britain
100000 900 to carry our exports and mails,
and did not pay our own people $3.50 GOO.
This is an awful humiliation. Well, what
is the causei Theoretical free traders know
what is the cause"
The senator doesn't seem TO know why we
have lost our ocean-carrying trade, and in
that respect the theoretical free traders
seem TO have the advantage Of him. He
certainly did not attempt to give the cause
in his talk before the Manufacturers Club.
He did venture to say that perhaps the
cause is that we haven't protection enough,
but he seemed to doubt that more proteo-
ton would give US a larger share of the
Ocean~csrrying trade. He was compelled
to admit that because of the protective sys-
tenn American vessels cost more than En-
glish vessels and that the wages of Ameri-
can seamen are higher. Therefore English
vessels can carry freights cheaper than
American vessels. Senator Frye, however,
declared that this country could get
its share of the carrying trade by SUBJ
sidizing vessels. He would build up our
merchant marine by paying subsidies TO
American vessels and taxing the people to
raise the subsidies.
Senator Frye and men OF bis way Of
thinking have been trying for more than a
quarter Of century to have our ocean
carrying trade done in American vessels,
and they have not succeeded. They declare
they have failed because they have not been
permitted to carry the protective system far
enough.
1t is by no means certain that we could
regain control Of our oceau-carrying trade
by a costly system of subsidies. Those who
favor the subsidy system have no more to
support their theory than have the free
trade theorists at whom Senator Frye sneers.
The truth is the republicans have totally
failed to recover any of our ooean-oarrying
trade by their protective system, and it is
time they stood aside and let the democrats
have chance to solve the problem Of re-
covering that trade. Democrats cannot do
worse than the republicans have, and there
are excellent reasons for thinking they
could do a great deal better.

TRAINS DELAYED.-The tracks on
the Richmond and Danville line, near
charlottesville, we're yesterday badly
damaged by the heavy rains. Near
Montpelier, between Charlottesville
and Orange, there was washout a. out
100 feet in length, but the bridges re-
NAMED intact. The Rapidan and Rap
pahannock rivers this morning were
higher than they have been for a long
time past--the waters leaving the banks
and spreading over much of the adjoin-
inc country. The Midland trains which
arrived here this morning from Orange
at some places ran through water a
loot and a half deep for a hundred
wards. At one place the Ties were
washed from the road-bed and became
lodged in the engine and car trucks,
necessitating the stopping Of the traia
and the removal of the ties. In conSe-
ouence of the high water below Orange
the through southern trains on the Mid
land road were yesterday and this
morning run to and from this city via
the W. S. and r., F. & P. railroads, the
local train running only to Orange, but
the damages having been repaired, this
evening the trains were run as usual.
A slight washout occurred yesterday
evening near Riverton, on the Manas-
sas road, but the damage was soon
repaired and to-day the trains are run
ming on time.
The high water Frustrated the tele-
graph lines at several points along the
various railroads but the wires are
gradually being gotten in working or
der again.
