Potosi, Mo.
Dear Sir:-I notice in the "po-
tosi Journar of August 3, 1898,
an apology from you for an cdito-
rial criticising +. II. Dcaring, can
didatc for Judge Of the Twenty
first judicial Circuit. Your crit
icism WAS based on an editorial
which appeared in the Ode Soto
Facts" and in your explanation
you called on US to deny or affirm
the statement made in our c,lito-
rial.
We have nothing to deny. Mr.
Dearing very frankly stated in his
speech accentin. the nomination
that he had very little to live for
except the Democratic party, and
that if elected his sole ambition
would be to promote the Interests
and welfare CT Democracy.
We thought, and still think, that
as Judge Green had been defeated
in this county because he preferred
to dispense Justice rather than to
favor party interests, that Mr..
behring's statements were at least
significant.
Hoping this may put you in a
proper light before your readers,
and granting you permission to
use same in anyway YOU deem
wise, VIC are
Yours very truly.

From all the facts that have

science. From all the facts that have
been published in this case, it appears
that, so far as the witnesses were con-
cerned, there would have been but
little moral restraint upon their testi'
mony at the trial, and from 'scien
tifc" standpoint, it would have been
an easy matter for almost any jackleg
lawyer to have secured their acquittal.
The ideas here suggested are not very
pleasant for contemplation but it is
likely that they are very close to those
which passed through the minds of the
Edgefeld mob.
In the crowd at Edgefeld there was
no doubt the usual per cent. of ruffians,
always present on such occasions; but
from the testimony of Mr.. Kohn, the
act appears to have been that of rep
resentative responsible men, after calm
and careful deliberation. These men,
of course, took fearful responsibility
upon themselves, and although their
action is hardly to be justified before
the laws of the land, they have to
offer as a balm to their consciences
what seems to be at least very strong
case of self-defense.

THAT EDGEFIELD LYNCHlNG.

Lynch law is always deplorable but,
Notwithstanding there are occasions
when the wisest, most prudent and
conservative citizens find it difficult to
decide what is the best thing to be
done. There was such an occasion in
Edgefeld last Tuesday.
Mr.. August Kohn, of The News and
Courier, was on the ground at the time
of the lynching. He had reason be-
forehand to expect that it would pro-
badly take place, and he went there
to report the proceedings. Almost
everything that was said and done
came under his direct observation and
hearing, and from his plain unvarnish-
ed story it is difficult to tell whether
the lynching should be condemned.
Itappears that there was large Sec
tion of territory occupied exclusively
by Negroes, with the exception of a
single white family, and to get rid OF
that family some of the Negroes re.
sorted 10 assassination. That the
safety of the community demanded
the punishment of the guilty party
does not admit of argument. Neither
is there any dispute that the proper
way to mete out that punishment was
through the regularly constituted
courts. But it appears also that the
entire community is under the domina,
ton of few Negro leaders, and there
was no reason to hope that the real
truth could ever be developed in the
courts.
With the moral element eliminated,
and this is too often the case, a murder
trial is usually only question of legal

the unstamped receipts for which they
had exchanged money. AS the result
of this ruling, Cashier Thomson, of
the Lancaster bank, went to Wash
ington and argued the matter with the
commissioner.
The proposition involves a very fine
point. The revenue law clearly does
not contemplate the taxing of written
acknowledgements by one individual
to another for money paid. A receipt
for deposit, or portion of deposit,
is clearly on the same footing as any
other receipt. Still such receipt can
be used in manner that will facilitate
the evasion of the stamp tax act; but
at the same time, if the department
holds that receipts given to banks are
subject to tax, it will also have to in
sist on a tax in the case of receipts
given by one individual to another.
So in the case of the Lancaster bank,
the department ruled that the receipts
were non-taxable. How long this rul-
ing will stand, or whether there will be
another change, is a question but &C.
cording to the wording of the law, it
is cafe for the banks to act on the the
ory that a written acknowledgement of
money paid is not subject to the rev.

RECEIPTS NON-TAXABLE.

The internal revenue department

taxation of receipts for money paid
This time it says receipts are non-taxa,
BILE.
The question was presented to the
department by the Bank of Lancaster.
That institution had been paying
money to depositors upon receipt of a
written acknowledgement of the
amount to be paid.
The department at first held that
receipts for money were non-taxable
under the law. Then it changed its
mind and said such receipts were tax
able. 1t went farther and notified
the banks that they would be held
accountable for the revenue tax on all

SHOULD BE MUSTERED OUT.

The statement in the daily papers
that the officers of the first regiment
have made peace with each other and
that all are now pulling together to
have the regiment retained in service,
is significant.
In the opinion of THE ENQUIRER,
the retention of the regiment now, af.
ter all that has occurred, would he q
lasting shame and disgrace to the
state. This opinion is based upon the
record of facts as developed since the
outbreak Of dissension in the regiment
Let US review the case.
According to reports from Jackson
vile, published at the time, the muster
out movement was engineered by then
Lieutenant Colonel Tillman. The men
were tired and sick of wholesome dis.
cipline, and Tillman told them that
there was no longer any opportunity
for them except to 60 to Havana to
do garrison duty, which would include
the digging of bitches, etc. A majority
of the men were induced to sign Pc
tition to be mustered out and Lieuten.

ton to Washington.

FRENCH TROUBLES.
Looks Like Another Revolution Is About
Due.

Looks Like Another Revolution Is About
Due.
The cable dispatches Of the past few
days have been showing up a threat
ening state of affairs in France. The
trouble is not due to the quarrel with
England about the occupation of Fas-
hoda but is another outbreak Of that
same old Dreyfus trouble.
The chamber of deputies met on
Tuesday, and the occasion was the sig
nal for a demonstration that had long
been brewing. 1t will be remembered
that some time ago the French cabi-
net agreed to submit the Dreyfus case
to the court having jurisdiction over
matters of that character, for revision.
Since then the two parties in. France
have been growing more and more ex-
cited, until an outbreak on the re-as
embling of the chamber Of deputies
was looked upon as matter of course.
The Parisians have way of collect
ing in great mobs for the purpose of
expressing their feelings. In anticipa-
lion of trouble Tuesday, the police, on
Monday, issued orders forbidding cries
of "down with" anything. But these
orders amounted to nothing, as subse-
quent events developed. Opposing
mobs were on hand Tuesday as ex.
pected, and they upheld their respect
i've sides with "Long live NJ. Brisson," !"
and "Long live the army" NJ. Brisson
was the prime minister and represen-
tative of the revision sentiment. The
army, of course, is against Dreyfus,
and opposed to revision. The crowds
surged through the streets raising u
big hullabaloo, and coming in frequent
contact with each other, the result
being riot. All day the police and
soldiery were busy trying to preserve
order. 1t was not considered desirable
to use any more force than was abso.
lutely necessary, and the principal
method the police used to disperse the
mobs, was to ride into them from side
streets. Several times there were ex-
citing fights with fists and clubs; but
nobody was seriously hurt during the
day.
Shortly after the assembly in the
the chamber of deputies, Paul Deroul-
EIDE, leader of the anti-Dreyfusites,
made speech in which he called upon
the ministry to put an end to the
trouble that was dividing the people
by the revision proceedings. General
Chanoine, minister of war, made a
speech in reply, and concluded with
the announcement of his resignation.
Then amid great uproar, the cham
Der voted lack of confidence in the
cabinet, and shortly afterward the body
adjourned in indescribable confusion.
The people are not at all interested
in the quarrel with England. In fact
it is understood that the British de-
mands for the withdrawal of Major
Marchand from Fashoda has been ac-
ceded to; but the feeling that the
Dreyfus trouble will speedily lead to u
revolution is very strong, not only in
Paris, but throughout the world.
