The Court of Common Pleas finish
ed it's work last Friday evening and
adjourned. When we went to press
last Wednesday the Court was hearing
the case of Ellis ys. the Anderson Cot
ton Mills, q suit for $4,000 damages fol
the loss of an arm. The jury, after be-
ing out for more than fifteen hours, re-
turned verdict of $500 for the plain
tilt. Several other civil suits were
tried and q number of equity cases
were heard, but none of them were Of
any Importance. 1t was probably the
most expensive term of Court that An
dersOn County has had in number OF
years.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT rs, 1895
TURNING THE RAsCALs OFT.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald telegraphs to his paper
that the prevailing feeling in that city.
as expressed by friends of good govern
ment. Is that the President cannot act
TOO quickly and too vigorously in purging
the government Of the tainted men re-
sponsble for the tainted meat
No doubt Of It. And this feeling is not
confined to the friends of good govern
ment in Washington. If prevails among
the friends Of good government through
out the land. Everywhere there is rising
tide Of Indignation over the revelations
that have been made. From all parts Of
the country come the cry Of turn the
rascals out" and the demand that the
administration act quickly and vigorous
~.
But can the President afford TO pursue
such a course? Acting vigorously would
mean an investigation that would inves-
tigate. and there is no telling what rami-
fications the investigation would take, or
whom it would involve before the end
was reached. In view OF broad hints that
have been dropped associating million
aire campaign contributors with the scan
DIAL. there is no telling what exposures as
10 political methods would result from a
vigorous and honest inquiry. There is
more than suspicion that such an in
quiry would not only disclose a fearful
state of rottenness in the War Depart
ment, but run back To certain bargains
made in the last presidential campaign.
That is 10 say. there is more than a sus-
picion that the War Department jobbery
connected with our war with Spain rep
resents recognition of substantial aid
rendered the Republican party in 1896. 1t
10 more than possible that an attempt to
turn the rascals OF the War Department
out would carry with IL the conviction of
other rascals along other lines.
We are not prepared to believe that
President Mckinley had any forcknowl-
edge Of crookedness in the War Depart
ment Nevertheless, he is responsible for
the conditions that rendered crookedness
possible. and TO ask him to purge the
government Of those W 10 are crooked is
10 place him in a very embarrassing po-
sition The Following OF the tran Nigor-
ously might not only multiply the expo
sures of rottenness. but bring the inves-
tigators too close to the doors of some OF
those to whom he is most indebted for
the presidency Hence we say that the
only hope Of getting at the bottom of the
whole matter lies in an investigation by
an impartial congressional committee.
And we believe that. unless public temper
undergoes a radical change. sooner or
later such a committee will be raised
The public owe 1t to themselves and to
the good name OF the nation 10 demand
an investigation that will lay bare all the
facts, no matter whom the operation may
hurt. So far as the embalmed-becf scan
dal has been probed. IL suggests that
this is not the only matter i'm which there
may have been outrageous. not TO say
criminal jobbery.

TAX LAWS.

The Georgia Tax Commission met al

of that State relating to taxation. Inc
commission consists Of the President OF
the Senate and three members ot the
Senate and the Speaker Of the House ana
five other representatives. The resolution
under which these gentlemen were APP
pointed declares that Georgia's present
system az whole is inadequate to meet

The fax laws Of Virginia also need re-
vision. AT the next meeting Of the L.egis-
lature that subject surely Will occupy
much attention It is not to be thought
of that the "land-grabbers law shall
continue in force without being amended,
so as to remove it's extortionate and OBJ
noxious features
1t has been an object lesson in many
respects. IL has taught the public much
about the working Of our collection
laws. 1t has disclosed practices that
are very unjust to landholders. ana
which work great hardships. Foolish, in
deed. would our people be If they did
not require the Legislature TO remedy
the evils thus. uncovered. In that way we
are not altogether without hope that the
law may accomplish some good. ON the
other hand. so indignant are many peo-
pie at the hardships imposed by this
law upon themselves and neighbors' there
may arise a public sentiment which, as
we have said before may swing the PEN
dulum back too far the other way and
demand tax laws that are as unreason-
ably lax as this one is unreasonably Sc
we're
1t is true the land-grabbers' law will
put a large sum Of money in the State
Treasury. but what will that profit the
state if it causes an immoderate relaXa-
ton in our collection laws?
1t would be good thing IL Virginia's
revenue legislation were carefully re-
vised and amended, but we doubt if this
is an opportune time to propose such
reform. The masses Of the people are inn
patient to see the land-grabbers' act
stripped of all its obnoxious features, If
not repealed in toto. and would not be
willing to await the slow movements of
