STRIKING AT LYING HERS.

Mr.. I,argan, of Darlington, has
introduced q bill, which by amend
ments, c..n be made very effective
remedy &gsinst the evils of lynching.
He proposes:
"Thas after the approval OF the act,
in addition to the oath required by
Section 26, Article III, OF the Con-
stitution members Of the General
Assembly, ell officers, whether State,
county Or municipal, before they enter

This is very good, bat it does not 60
far enough. 1t should require such
an oath to be taken by every voter,
and, if necessary, the Constitution
should be amended. No nnfairness
could be chsrgea, for a.! lyrcasrs ,lave
fair notice, since the &C: does not aD-

that the Legislature will pass the law

AN UNNECESSARY EXPENSE.

AN UNNECESSARY EXPENSE.
"The action of the House on Friday.
in the matter of the proposed sppro-
2riation for a certain mem orial sword,
was necessarily final in the nature OF
the case, as any appropriation Of the
kind by the present body would be
devoid of the grace which could alone
give value to such a tribute. The
least said now about the whole matter
the better, Of course, but this much is
proper 20 be said, that too much sig
n;fcauce should not be attached in any
quarter to what has occurred. Legl:-
lative bodies, like other public assem-
--sti5e, kti5e are very subject to 'whlm'' and

would be embarrassing 10 the donee,

the News and Courier that the matter
OF the svord should be dropped and
j ust a. little as possible said about

on the objection to the appropriation
that tbs Legislature should 'not spend
more money than is necessary" Take:

is enp,v. The Legislature, it appears,
is in frame of mind to spend only
what is "necessary," and onr contem'
porary suggests that bieun!el sessions
might save the people great deal OF
none. We are sure that if voters are
consulted that large msioritg of them
will agree that the expense Of holhing
asesslon Of the Legislature every year
is not a Unnecessary" expense, especially
in these hard times; and in fact many
of them will say that while it is all

New York, March 31.-Dun's review OF
trade tomorrow will say: Failures dur
ing the first quarter of 1899 have been IN
amount of liabilities not more than about
s26.6s0.3S0. against s31, 710.1i2 last year.
s4S, ,007, ,110 in 1897, and s57, ,535, 135 in 1895
While the later returns may increase the
amount for the quarter a little. the com
plete returns which will be given next
week will be very remarkable in compari-
son with that of any previous year. Bust
ness is not at present improving. There
has been something very like a check, part
ly the result of heavy buying since January
J. TO anticipate the market partly caused
by the uncertainty about the operation of
many combinations, and shade of doubt
about foreign affairs also had some influ-
ence. The advance in foreign exchange is
attributed. with or without reason, TO pre-
parations of the Government for paying
off the $40, ,000, 900 assured by the treaty to
Spain. and If such preparations were begun
Just before the pressure which April SEN
timents usually cause, they were enough
to cause annoyance. The new rule of the
clearing house banks at New York, about
taxation OF country checks also causes
some shifting OF accounts. But the money
market throughout the country is well sup
piled.
More evidence appears that the wooden
manufacture is not helped as yet by new
combinations or the prospect of them, and
in many ways, though In dress goods ac-
tive. In spite of all the gain in railway
earnings. the doubt about stock values has
