journey, they at once retired. But they
could not sleep and finally the merchant
suggested that the window be opened as
he could not sleep unless there was bet

around in the dark and at last found a
window, which seemed riVeted to the
as he would pay the damages. HAVING
done so they at once passed of into

II there ever was a time when the
strict enforcement Of the law was neces-
sary for the good Of the state and Of so
eieiy. that time is now. There has late
~ been an epidemic or crimes OF vio-
lence in the south. There is
no room to doubt that such crimes are
in a large measure due to the lack
Of popular confidence in the courts and
other machinery Of justice. In order TO
restore a healthful public sentiment with
regard to TIE machinery Of justice Il
is absolutely necessary that the laws
shah be enforced, wherner the enforce
ment wounds poetic sentiment or not
Misdirected sympathy and too generous
clemeney puts a premium on crime.
There is already too much premium on
crimes Of violence in this section Of the
country. Some of it must be taken of.
These are cold facts that must suggest
themselves to the governor.
tege and apt pupil. Mr.. John Gary Ev-
ans, now governor Of South Carolina.
He is trying to steal Evans thunder. The
dispensary law was nominaliy written by.
and was actually championed by Mr..
Evans when he was a senator of the
state, and it has been known in the news
papers and courts as the Evans law. Yet
we hear the senator say at Asbury Park:
4 convinced my prohibition friends that
they were wrong, ana had enacted my dis
pensary law" Evans does not appear in
the picture. However. Evans probably
has not been so badly treated as has the
South Carolina legislature. Il had enacted
my dispensary law says the senator.
1t is amusing to watch the New York
ers squirm under the operations Of the
Malby law-the law which gives black
people equal rights with white peo-
pie in all public places. AS a
theory, the New Workers think
the equality OF the races is some
thing noble and grand-for the south. But
when it comes to putting the theory into
practice among themselves, they find il
extremely odious. The Malby law was
worked through by a lot of republican
politicians who probably never had any
idea that it would be enforced. Now that
it is being enforced, they are very sorry;
but they lack the moral courage to re-
peal it.

The way They VIII Vote.

In a cable letter from Berlin, published
yesterday, Herr Koch, distinguished
statesman Of Germany. is quoted as ex-
pressing surprise that such numbers of
the working population of the United
States are supporting the free silver coin
age movement. Herr Koch must be mis-
informed. If he should make inquiry he
would find that American workmen in all
the industrial centers are against that
movement 1t is true that during the
hard times that followed the panic of 1898
there was a pretty strong sentiment
among the workmen in favor of free sill
yer coinage, because they were told by
some of their leaders and many politicians
that the hard times were due to the clos
ing of the minis to free and unlimited
silver coinage, and that prosperity would
Immediately return if our minis were op-
ened to silver.
Since that time they have given the sill
yer question considerable thought. The
fact that times began to improve almost
Immediately after the repeal of the pur-
| chasing clause of the Sherman silver pur-
chasing law, and after steps were taken by
the government to keep the currency
sound, convinced them that silver had
nothing to do, either with bringing about
the hard times or the restoring of pros
perity
| Their study of the silver question has
also convinced them that if our minis were
opened to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. our currency would be on
a silver basis very quickly. and that while
the purchasing power of wages in that
| event would be decreased nearly one
half there would be no increase in wages.
| They see that the effect of free and un-
! limited silver coinage would. therefore.
be to greatly reduce their wages.
! Consequently. they are not clamoring for
free and unlimited silver coinage.

Tried 10 De a Boz Agnin.

Magls trate Harrison is laughing heart
lily over u case that was adjusted before
him the other day, says the Philadelphia
Record A wagon loaded with mineral
water jugs backed up 10 the curbstone IN
front OF a boiling establishment last
week, and the driver proceeded to unload
his wagon by tossing the jugs, one al a
time, 20 a cOlored youth who stood on the
opposite side of the curbstOnc, ready 10
catch all that came his way.
When things were moving nicely an old
stepped out of his own door, threw a
brick as straight as d bullet and broke
one of the jugs while il was in transit
from the driver 70 the COlored boy He
darted back into his own domicile before
the driver could recover himself enough
to make a protest. \ few minutes later
another jug was smashed, and again the
old man disappeared with 4 merry laugh.
This was kept up until about a dozen jugs
had been smashed, when the angry pro-
pretor stopped the fun by causing the
cid fellows arrest on the charge OF ma
HciouS mischief.
When Judge Harrison read the charge
to him the old man laughed until the
tears rolled down his checks, and then
admitted his guilt. In making an eX-
tratc that he was able and willing to pay
TOR all the damage he had done, and said:
Il saw those jugs flying, and l knew in
my old heart that l would have thrown
bricks q them when / was boy sixty
years ago. L just wanted 20 see how II
would feel again, and l couldn't help my
self" The explanation was satisfactory,
and after settling the old fellow went
away still laughing heartily.
