Two Hcmicides.
Ab bcville Press and Banner.

Ab beville Press and Banner.
Columbia has recently been tn
scene of two Eomicides. We pub
lished full reports of the killing o
! Mrs. Stuart by the constable. Late
accounts of the affair very mucl
modify the first reports, and show
that the constables were not so neal
to blame as was at first supposed. The
newspapers which favor the bars anG
oppose the dispensary made much Of
the occurrence, and they seemed tc
think that this affair would seal the
fate of the present restrictions on the
sale of liquor.
The next week after The constables
did their killing, a citizen of Colum
bia voluntarily insulted a man be-
cause he was thought to be a con-
stable. A fight ensued, and the citi-
zen killed the man whom he sup
posed to be constable. The same
anti dispensary newspapers made
but small showing Of this wanton
attack upon citizen who had given
no reason for being attacked by in
sulting epithets.
It may be the fierce and unjust at,
tacks upon the constable by the news
papers that induced the perpetrator of
the last homicide to insult and kill
the man whom be supposed to be
constable.
This newspaper ventures to suggest
that Columbia jurors may do justice
by both slayers.
The dispensary has lost nothing by
Columbia's opposition to the law, and
jurors will likely sustain the consta-
bles in making searches of blind tigers,
when they have warrants for so do
ing.
All this stuff about the sacredness
and sanctity Of a blind tiger amounts
to little. The right to search is as
old as this system of government.
The United States never stops to ask
whether the citizen is willing to ex.
anime his still house, his bar room or
his home, when the officers have rea-
son to believe that there is illicit
traffic in liquor.
The dispensary will stand. 1t
doesn't seem possible that the pres
ent Representatives in the General
Assembly can 60 back on their con-
stituents, even if they as individuals,
should seek to flood this country with
free liquor.

night Private Burke was killed.

night PilVate Burke was Killed.
The conditions at Ponce since the
clash between the soldiers and native
police, in which several Puerto
Ricans were killed, has been border
ing on open battle between the
troops and the natives. At San Juan
few nights ago, three sailors from
the United States crusier Panther
were wounded by bullets from the
rifles of the native police of the town
who, in attempting to arrest one of
the sailors, became excited and fired
indiscriminately.
Gen. Henry began his administra-
tion in Puerto Rico by giving all the
towns and cities self government and
by turning over in great measure
the keeping of the peace to the native
police force. He has been forced
summary to depose the alcalde and
the conclimen of many towns and
turn the local government over to
army officers. Things are strained
to the swapping point. Gen. Henry's
face took on a grimness that his
troops used to see in the old days
out on the western plains as he con-
cluded his remarks about conditions
in the island.
Il have given them too much rein,"
he said, now I'm going to take in
the slack"
