More Work for Our Warships.

There was, of course, only one reply to
make to the impudent refusal of the porte
to be held responsible for the American
losses during the Armenian troubles. But
l. is to be hoped that the incident will not
end with the protest of our government
against this Interpretation of duty toward
a friendly power. The time has evidently
come for demonstration which will show
that we are thoroughly in earnest We
have number of warships which can soon
be made ready for a Mediterranean trip
and their absence in the pleasant task of
training their guns on Turkish port will
not endanger cur own coasts in The least.

DR.. ". q. Lipscomb Granted a New Trial

The Supreme Court Of this State
has reversed the celebrated case Of DR..
W. II. Lipscomb, charged with poison
ing one Charles Il. Stewart, Of KEN
per county, on January 81, 1897, on
whose life, it is alleged he and others
Ia the conspiracy to murder, held in.
surance policies. The case stands re.
versed and remaded for a new trial on
the opinions Of Special Judges r. II.
Thompson and l.. w. Magruder, who,
while AGREEING to reverse, disagreed
on the grounds Of reversal. Judge
Whitfield, in "A dissenting opinion,
held out for affirming the case. Judge
Magruder held that the dying declara.
tion OF Stewart was not competent as
evidence, and should not have been
admitted, las it was IA matter Of opinion
and not OF fact. Judge Thompson
thought the dying declaration proper
ly admitted, but held that there were
reversible grounds 10 some OF the in.
structions which were upon the weight
OF evidence. This Is a remarkable
case, and II the same evidence comes
out In the new trial as In the first the
accused will certainly have to walk
the plank. Let the law be indicated
in bloody Kemper."

THE MAINE DISASTER.

Sufficient time has now elapsed

ed tile country with horror aud con.
tinues " absorb public attention, to
pern,lt . dispasss0nate estimate OF
the 1amcntablc occurrence; and IL
may not be out Of place to caution our
readers to serve their decision until
the Investigation, undertaken by the
proper officials, and which must, per-
force, bc thorough and careful, shall
have been concluded and its report
submitted to the public. To the
credit OF the American peOple-whose
conduct on this occasion has been ad-
mirable-be it said that despite the
terrible strain, natural to the moment,
there has been no popular outburst
against the Spanish Government In
whose dOminiOns this almost un-
parallel calamity took place. Indi-
vidual expressions OF hostility, bear
Ing charges OF ~treachery with rash
demands for immediate retaliation,
have come from a few persons OF more
or less prominence; but that the ex-
plOsiOn was the direct or indirect
work of the Madrid Government or Its
representatives Ia Cuba Is not seri.
Ously entertained by even a small
minority Of the American people. OF
course, 1t Is barely possible that some
fanatic, or fanatics-a class from
which no country, unfortunately,
is free-may have conceived aud per-
petrated a dlabolical act; but even
this theory is considered untenable by
| the entire conservative element Of the
country, who, relying upon expert
authority Of officials Of unQuestion
able patriotism, are forced to the con-
clusion that the explosion was the re
suit OF an accident, pure and simple.

On the other hand, while the rabble,

ut the sight OF so much death and de-
struction, where Americans were the
only sufferers, the conduct OF the
Spanish officials, civil, military and
ecclesiastical, as well as the Havanest

of Havanese society the greatest sym

THE NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY BILL.

A Washington dispatch says the
Mississippi Representatives In Con-
gress took u prominent part In the
discussion Of the national bankruptcy
bill, which passed the House Satur-
day. Ourimmediate Representative,
Hon. VIM. \. Live made IN admira-
Bile presentation Of the case from the
standpoint Of the Southern debtor.
After reviewing ut sumo length the
Involuntary features OF the present
bill, and the great misfOrtuDes and
disasters IL would work to the South,
where serious depression Of business
existed, Mr.. Love laid it down as a
fundamental principle that q bank.
rupt Law should be framed SO as To
secure an equal distribution Of the
debtors property among his creditors
and to release him from obligations
from which he could never hope to be
released otherwise. "Was involun'
tary bankruptcy essential to the &C.
compllshmcnt Of either OF these pur'
poses?" he asked. Following this line
Of argument, Mr.. Love went. On L
say: !
by the provisions of a voluntary
bankruptcy law the creditor, when
the insOlvent debtor availS himself Of
that law, obtains his prOpOrtiOnate
share Of the assets OF the property OI
the debtor. He could not do more II
he had the benefit OF an Involuntary
bankrupt law. The only difference 4
that in one case the debtor m ust take
the initiative, while In the other ths
creditor does so without regard to tlt
interest OF any M but himself. j
his grounds for doing so are valid, hi:
motive cannot be questioned, NOR vii
the consequence tn the debtor and hi
family be considered. 7
IL have no sympathy. for the fraud
ulent debtors. They do not deserW
the favor Of the law. But the vice il
this bill is that in u%ncoverinl
the fraudulent debtor it gives TIL
mercilesS and vindictlve creditor til,
opportunity to harass and destroy til,
honest debtor. - = y
1.-The only good that can possibl.
come to the debtor after all this ex
pensivc procedure is to receive his dis
charge; and yet. after d shown,
which the court thinks entities hin
to an acQuittance, after he has walked
out Of the court with his debts abOl
ished and no longer a burden upoI
him, even then for two years he /
liable to be thrown back into cur
and his case reopened on the AFFIDAVIT
OF any creditor" .
