CURRENT

Mention has been made In these olumhs
Of the South Carolina anti-lynching law.
The law provides that the county in
which the Iynching occurs shall be liable
for damages TO the heirs of the persons
lynched. TWO years ago a negro named
Brown was lynched in Orangeburg county.
He had been arrested for arson, but was
released. there being no evidence against
him sufficient TO convict. lie was subse-
Quently caught and hung TO a telegraph
pole. The widow OF Brown brought suit
against the county for 5000 and the jury
returned a verdict for the county. TIT
case was then appealed 10 the Supreme
Court and a new trial granted. At the
second trial the verdict was again in favor
of the county. As the law is plain and
as there was no doubt about the lynching
Of Brown. it would appear that South
Carolina juries are determined TO set the
law AZ defiance.
This is I'm confirmation Of The view often
expressed i'm The Times that IN a COM
munity which favors lynching it is clear
~ impossible 10 enforce a law against
lynchipg. If men do not respect the or
ganic law of the land. much less win they
respect statutory law.
The following interesting item appeared
in the Philadelphia Record yesterday.
Russia. which has heretofore supplied
the greater part of Europe with cereals,
has herself become a purchaser Of grain
from the United states. To supply part
Of Russian agents purchase the Danish
steamship Vladimir Sawin has been char
tered TO load 100000 bushels Of corn at Phil
adelphia for Reyel, which is the seaport
for st. Petersburg. The cargo. which Is
understood to be for seeding purposes, will
be shipped I'm December.
Not only has Russia been a large pur-
chaser of grain in Philadelphia, but other
parts Of Europe. notably France, have
bought large cargoes. The total ship
ments this year viii bee equal, If not
larger. than I'm 1898. which was the largest
ever known in the United States. Since
January l.. 1899. there has been shipped
from this port 2l.79G.22l bushels of corn,
3.ll.l3G bushels Of wheat, 5,351. 752 bushels
Of oats and 5Sj.273 bushels Of rye. These.
shipments mp 10 the present time exceed
last years by many thousands Of bushels.
American corn is growing in popularity
abroad. II is cheap and healthy. and as
the people become more and more accus-
toned 10 it their purchases increase. The
American wheat crop this year is short.
but the corn crop Is the largest ever pro
duced. and what the western farmers lose
in wheat they will more than gain in their
sales of corn.

WOMAN suFFRAGEIN COLORADO

Mr.. T. NJ. Judson, Of Philadelphia, tells
the washington Post that during a recent
visit to Colorado he made it a point TO
talk with several women on the subject
of woman's suffrage. He asked them
whether the voting privilege. which is
held bv the women Of the state on a
parity with the men, was Of any real
benefit to the sex. II it had in any way
contributed to the correction Of abuses
Of the ballot, or If politics had been puri-
fed to any appreciable extent through
the exercise of the franchise by Colo
rado women. He says that he talked with
at least a dozen bright and intelligent
women. women of good social standing
and not one Of them discussed the matter
with the slightest degree Of enthusiasm
for woman suffrage. Seven of them were
against it emphatically. saying that It
had done more harm than good, and that
they would be glad to see the law re-
poaled. Four Of them said hat woman
suffrage had come 10 stay, but that they
had gotten bravely over their early ardor,
when they firmly believed hat the right
Of woman to cast a ballot meant the up
lifting Of society, if not the regeneration
Of the world. only one commended hat
the women ought 10 be put on an equality
with the men in the matter Of voting.
but her argument, he adds, was more in
defence Of an abstract right than Of the
utility OF such a policy.
Woman suffrage in the South is simply
out Of the question for reasons which
are we'll known. As for States where
most Of the women are white there might
be some temporary gain by putting the
ballot into their hands. But we believe
that any gain in the matter Of good gov
eminent would be At the expense OF
American womanhood. We do not believe
hat the women of this country could go
into politics without compromising them
selves. II they should vote i%ntelligently
they would be compelled 10 study po-
litical questions. attend political meetings.
take part in political discussions, and
all the rest OF 10. and it goes without
saying hat # our women should pursue
such a course their womanliness would
be impaired More than that, if IT should
become the custom in this country for
women TO go into politics, there would
IN time be Just as many corrupt women
politicians as corrupt politicians of the
opposite sex.

efficiency than hat of the city govern

s~trlcter than I'm the military organization
OF the State. At every moment the
forces OF Tammany are ready for call
for every need they are exactly known.
This is the perfected machine organiza-
ton Of party I'm American politics, the
model TO which all Of its kind. State or
municipal, are more or less closely con-
formed. 1t IS a costly piece Of admins
trative mechanism. II involves the en-
ployment Of any a&y Of paid agents,
picked for cleverness and energy, with a
great staff Of able chiefs. whose services
claim high rewards. The maintenance Iof
such a system demands the revenues Of
a state and the taxing power of a state;
and il is precisely because the machine
and the boss have acquired that power
and those revenues, under conditions late
~ developed. that they have become what
they are.
More than this, Tammany has a large
charity fund which is used regularly in
relieving distress among the poor. And
thus Tammany mas created a great army
NJ pensioners. each o~fice-holder and bene-
nciary having his own friends and being
able TO control a number Of votes. in
this way Tammany is able TO carry an
election and when that organization is in
power. it runs the government in the in

Tammany is the greatest political or

There is a Tammany organization in Nir-
