The late reports from Apia concerning
the fighting in Samoa are important and

An Important Trial.

At Charleston on Monday will begin the
trial in the United States court of the men
charged with the lynching of Postmaster
Baker of Lake City, s. c., in February of
last year The crime was a particularly
atrocious one and was denounced at the
time by all the reputable men of the state
Judge Brawley, who will preside at the
trial, has just expressed afresh the senti-
ment of the lovers of law and order in the
statement that "a more heinous crime has
rarely darkened the states history
The country will follow the proceedings
with an unusual degree of interest. Baker

color. He was under no accusations of
wrong-doing. He had injured no man. His
standing had been sufficiently good to Sc
cure him the office of postmaster, and he
was In inoffensive discharge of his duties
when his house was fired, himself and an
infant child killed. and his wife seriously
wounded He had been warned not TO ac-
cept the office by the lawless element of
the community, but as he had a perfect
right under the law of the land to serve in
the place he asserted that right, and the
lawless element took his life.
There is thus involved in the case the
question of race prejudice in the south, and
at the same time there is example of how
far that prejudice carries men who fiodt
the law and take measures into their own
hands. Is there strength enough in the
south to punish such men when guilt is
established? Every friend of the south will
hope that this trial. if the parties under in
dictment are guilty. may show such
strength The evils of an ignorant and un-
desirable suffrage are subjects for discus
sion and for correction by law. Assassina-
tion cures nothing. but stains the name of
the south with shame.
The presiding judge is a native South
Carolinian, an ex-oonfederate soldier who
left an arm on the field of battle, a demo-
crat who served with distinction in Con-
gress, and is widely respected for high
character and ability. His address to the
grand jury breathes the spirit of a man of
courage who loves the good name of his
state and loves justice. Let US hope that
the whole machinery Of his court is in as
fearless hands. and that justice may be
done.
