New York, October 18th, AT q political
meeting held at York, Sir EDWARD Clarke,
Q.C.M.P. for Plymouth, iii an address, stated
that the United States Venezuela Commits.
sion will decide against England. not because
of being hostile, but because the evidence be-
fore them is conv ncing. He therefore said
that England should prepare to accept arbi.
%tration, which, after all. matters little; but
that if tho United States attempts to enforce
the COMMISSIONS decision, Il passionate resent
ment, serious for both countries. would be
aroused. In conclusion, he remarked that he
considered the risk very serious.
Continental news reports that Tynan's re.
lease being unconditional, he is visiting Paris
leisurely before his return to the United
States. He states that his prison treatment
has been lenient.
A Central News telegram from Bou-
logne contrasts the above procedure with
the treatment of the British Anarchists and
suspects, who were expelled OH Thursday

though no evidence was forthcoming after

We are very much gratihed to see
that common sense prevailed IN the
House in referenceto to the adjustment
of the Citadel Academy at Charleston.
The enemies Of this institution OF
learning made what was near a sue
cessful fight to closets doors against
the youth of the State whose incl-
nations lead them to cultivate and
develop their military trait Of charac-
ter. In times gone by when the honor
Of the State was trembling in the
balance, in the days which tried mems
courage and men from the farm, the
work bench, the desk and from be,
hind the counter, good, true and
brave men, even to recklessness, but
deficient in military training and the
scince war needed instruction
that these graduates OF the old
Citadel stepped into the breach
and practically demonstrated that
the State of South Carolina had been
more than repaid for the beggarly
pittance that she had expended on
rL: t,,o;,;rc Tn finn - of neace Dre-
pare for war is an axiom the truth
fulness Of which has been seen on
more than one occasion, and it seems
to us that from the experiences OF
the past and the lights Of the future
that the Legislature would have acted
more wisely had it increased the ap-
propriation rather than to have taken
away it's small sum to keep it going.

Beautiful weather.

There have been a good many peo,

Mrs. Martha Ellison is still confined
to her bed with an attack of grip,

Keep close, brother, as I do not want

Mrs. G. D. Elisor is improving, L

MIR. and Mrs. Weed paid a flying
visit to her mother, Mrs. Fannie
Folk, last Sunday.
Miss Mary Bouknight has a pet
crow. 1t is one of the naughtlest
little things you ever saw. ltcarres
off her rings, thimbles and thread,
and every thing she lays down. 1t
can cackle like chicken and almost
talk. I know it must worry her
sometimes. It even follows her to
church, and often goes in to hear the
sermon. She has named it Jack. l
don't know who after.
Mr.. Sifey preached an excellent
sermon at Shady Grove last Sunday,
it being his second sermon at that
place.
Twas sorry to hear that fellow had
his lap robe eaten up by an old COW
at the wedding not long ago. l will
advise him to take some food tie
next time for her and put his robe IN
his pocket or somewhere in safe keep
ing. I know he and his gnl looked
odd going to the Unfair with a gnawed
lap robe. I told you laughing was
catching, old fellow.
Some Of our boys not far off got
their walking ticket the other Satur-
day night. It was real funny to
think over it. His best girl or sister
told him to get up and get. Hc said
please, let me wait till moon is up.

The presumption is reasonable
that every law abiding citizen in the
State of South Carolina wonld Ike
to see the practice of resolting to
lynch law for the punishment Of
persons guilty Of crimes Of unusual
atrociousness and brutality re
legated to the rear as a
relic Of barbarism. They dep
recata the necessity for taking
the law into their own hands and
meting out to the criminal that pun
ishment which in their judgment the
crime deserves. They deplore the
fact that there is crime which calls
for the seyeresf, the swiftest, and
the surest punishment OF the Vol
lators of the law in order that the
chasity of our women may be
protected and the parity Of So
ciety perpetuated. It is to be re.
GREETED, we repeat, that these condi-
tions exists, but they do and with
them we have TO deal. As long as
they do exist men will resort to lynch
law. Remove the cause and there
will no longer remain necessity for
lynchiag bees. Laws may be enacted
without end to punish the crime Of
lynchipg, but as long as lynchings
have the physical support and moral
encouragement OF the people, the
laws will avail nothing and will be-
come inopperatiye and Of no effect

This paper is intensely reform in
its sentiments. It believes that the
principles promulgated at the March
convention of 1890 to be as correct
now as they were certainly then.
Those principles the Dispatch has
stood by both in and out of season
and by them it will continue to stand
until they are practically put into
effect or hopelessly and irrerocable
defeated. This is our stand and
along these lines we propose tofght.
This is our platform, simply stated.
But we do not propose to swallow
everything without question in the
name Of reform simply because they
are fathered by Reformers high IN
the counsels of the party. For this
reason we condemn the proposition to
increase the number of Circuit
Judges from eight to ten. This, we
believe to be entirely foreign to the
idea of retrenchment and reform.
Persons at all acquainted with the
rules and procedure Of court will
attest to the fact that entirely too
much latitude is given to the lawyers
in the presentation Of their cases.
What farmer, manufacturer or bust
ness man would allow an employee
to consume a day to perform a given
work when The same work could
have been as we'll done IN half the
time? Yet, who among US have not
seen lawyers in our court house, IN
pleading their cause seemingly have
but two objects in view, those Of
airing their eloquence for political
effect and to consume the
time of the court at the
expense of the tax payers. Make
lawyers understand the value Of time
in presenting their cases and it will
be found that the present number of
Judges can expeditiously transact
the business Of the court and have
plenty of time to spend in the bosom
of their families. Let this reform
be inaugurated and it will not be
long before ii will be seen that there
is no necessity for an increase of
Judges, except it be to provide soft
place for some political henchman.

ERIE, Colo, March 13.-If the coal war
has been boom to consumers, it has
been death to miners, bringing a re-
duction of income. and bare subsiS-
tence in all cases, and destitution in
not few. 1t may result in actual dis
tress in many families. The winter
has not been favorable one for coal
The weather has been mild
and the demand corresponding light.
Hence the miners earned small wages,
not to exceed S25 per month. Many
have earned nearer $40 to S12 month.
Close upon this condition of affairs
came the coal war, with the gradual
drop in prices from 81 ton down by.
degrees to 81 40. Now the mines have
practically all shut down. Some of
the large companies are owing their
men from one to Two months pay.
The merchants are not able to carry
the burden, and already some have
been forced to the wall. The outlook
here is anything but bright, and while
there is as yet no starvation, it is only
4 matter of short time when there
will be hungry men, women and chill
1ren unless a speedy turn in affairs is
taken for the better.

The fight that is being waged
against the Southern Pacific company
both in California and Washington,
D. c., is bringing into more than
usual prominence two Oregonians,
who are acquiring national reputation,
one as an attorney and the other as
cartoon artist. We refer to VIM. f.
Herrin, chief attorney for the Southern
Pacific Co., and Omer Davenport, the
s. F. Examiners cartoonist. Mr..
Herrin, as chief counsel for the COM
pany, is exerting his wonderful legal
and oratorical ability presenting the
company's case before the U. s. dis
trict court in San Francisco and refut-
ing the charges brought by the Cali
fornia railroad commission, while Mr..
Davenport, on the other hand, is plac-
ing the Southern Pacific in as ludic-
rous light as possible, welding his un-
relenting brush. Both these gentle
men are. Oregon born and bred. Mr..
Herrin is native of Southern Oregon,
and received his education at the
Agricultural college at Corvallis,
where he displayed much ability as an
Orator, and soon after having been ad-
mitted to practice law entered the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific, and for
number of years has been chief legal
advisor of that company. He is a
brother of d. c. Herrin the popular
photographer of The Dalles. Mr..
Davenport was born and raised in
Marion county. He is a son OF Hon.
Tim Davenport, of Salem, and cousin
of r. G. Davenport, OF this city.
