ANTT-LYNCHING LEGISLATION.

While the people of Texas are discussing the
recent slow and prolonged burning Of a negro
by mob in that State the Constitutional
Convention of South Carolina is discussing
proposed article of the fundamental law intend
ed in a mild and entirely legal manner TO dis
courage the illegal taking off of persons charged
with crime The lawmakers Of the Palmetto
State are determined that nobody shall point
the finger Of scorn at them and charge that they
rs people encourage hanging, burning and
torture by mObs as the exercise Of inalienablc
popular rights. They might have enacted that
hereafter the inhabitants of a separate COM
munity assembled should constitute the supreme
criminal court of the State for that district, and
charged this body with the tracking, arrest, trial.
condemnation and execution Of all suspected
negroes. or 10 put it cuphemistically, all per-
sons whose reading. understanding or cXplana-
ton Of the Constitution does not suit the cleo
ton officers in that locality. That would have
been a return TO primitive democracy. a giving
back TO the people of the power derived from
the people, and thoroughly in accord with the
tjme-honored tradition Of South Carolina which
has through several generations been protesting
against the vicious centralizing tendencies
prevalent in this country.
Instead Of this, these liberty loving people
are about TO sacrifice their homerule principles
in Difference to the opinion of world given up
TO the domination Of kings and courts, judges
and sheriffs. They have drafted law for the
suppression Of their own selfgoverning in
stlncts and the punishment Of those function
aries who do not tyrannze over them and keep
them from the exercises Of their judicial and
executive power This drastic measure Of self
imposed tyranny provides that any officer hav
ing prisoner In his custody, who through nesll-
eence, permission or connivance gives him up
TO n mob which innlcts upon him bodily vio-
lencc or death, shall be guilty Of "A mlsllemeanor
and shall no longer be permitted TO hold office
unless pardoned by The Governor Of the State
Surely this Is ample. No law could more ex-
plcitly declare that lynchng will not be toll

RECORD SPEED AND REAL SPEED.

Rear-Admiral Ramsays report on the speed
of the new warshipS is mighty interesting read
Ing" 1t will cause much disappointment and
perhaps conservation. 1t may also arouse some
Indignation, which will be quite natural Ger
tany it is not pleasant for Americans to ma
their new Navy is mot what II Is cracked up
70 be" They have been told their ships are the
fastest in the world, and have greatly exulted
in that fact. Now they are officially told such
may not be the fact at all. and probably is not.
The peed-ratings of the vessels, determined ny
thcjr trial trips and set down in the Navy lists,
ore altogether misleading The vessels did make
such speed on one occasion and for special
nurposc They will not do SO again. They Will
even approximate to II only on rare occasions
for a brief space and ut great cost and greater
risk. For practical purposes in regular service
their speed is much less than that credited to
them. 1t is. of course, not known what these
shIpS might do If pressed to their utmost in an
emergency They might come pretty nearly up
to their record specd-no one dreams they could
equal lt-and they might break down altogether.
II would be folly tc be constantly running thcm
ot TON speed. But really they might be let out
once in a year TO show what they can do. AMI
II does not seem unjust TO take their maximum
speed for year rs an indication of the best
that is TO be expected of them in ordinary ser

Now this a. We have said Is disappointing.
II should not be in the least surprising. Ii Is
nothing but n confirmation Of what The Tribune
has been saying over and over again. ever since
the building of the new Navy was begun and
for saving which we have been criticised and
reproached many times by the Naval Admins
tration We have from the outset disapproved
the system Of paying premiums for extra speed
on principle. 1t is a false system II tempts
contractors to sacrifice all other qualities for
the sake Of speed; and not permanent speed,
either but simply ability TO make great speed
on the trial trip under abnormal and unique
conditions. II also sets up a fictitious and de-
lusIve record from which disappointment is sure
TO come. and perhaps disaster. Rear-Admiral
Ramsay's report is an ample vindication Of all
The Tribune has said upon the subject. The
Government has paid large premiums for speed
shown only on trial trips and never aftcrward.

which earned big premiums for extra speed he
