REJECT THE CHICAGO
PLATFORM.

The Chicago platform Is, III many OF
its declarations, the expression OF I'M
mature minds on temporary conditions
which would make some remedial agch-
cy proper # they threatened 10 be last
inc. An instance Of this Is the declara-
tion against government by injunction
The occasion for this grew out OF the
riots of 1894 and codrt proceedings III
eident thereto Another is the attitude
taken with reference 70 the decision OF
the L. ;. supreme court on the income
tax.
Granting that condemnation OF the
two special instances was proper when
but few thoughtful men Will cOncede
with regard to the latter is solitary
instance sufficient to Justify a radical re-
vision Os our system Of Jurisprudence!
IL single Judge does err III assuming
power 10 an extent, which If abused,
would prove dangerous to individual
liberty if il becomes general, Is 1T SAFE
10 limit powers which experience has
shown are essential to the admnlstra-
ton Of justice because Of Il single lnfrac-
tom And is popular verdict such II
wise reversal Of judicial decision that II
NAV be- taken a. a basis for revolyuonl&
ing orr judicial system?
Judicial decisions are far reaching ana
affect much more than the cases when
give them occasion If the income tax
law was held constitutional the decision
would meet public public approval, but
il would open the door 10 special Ieglsla-
ton which would receive and deserve
general cxecration.
4 recent decision which held the anti
trl,t law of Illinois unconstitutional was
denounced by populist papers, because
the law in its entirety was declared void
owing 10 the nnCOnstitutiOnaIiiy Of one
clause. It was asked why that one clause
was not declared void and let the law
stand less that And this wonld give
courts power much more dangerous than
any power Of injunction they now have.

TO follow the crowd in this instance we would
accept the statement that the Charleston Ex-
position would benefit not only the City by
the Sea, but ali the State.
To our mind no statement could be more
absurd, or have less the semblance OF reason
in IL than TO suppose that a big trade and q
busy time for Charleston would benefit Able.
Vile.
d The acceptance OF the newspaper statement
that the overflow advantages Of the Exposi-
tion would reach the uttermost parts Of the
State is SO preposterous, and SO lacking for a
basis on reason that we are astonished.
{ The Atlanta Exposition was distant only
1S0 miles, and yet no overflow advantages
reached Abbeville. II Athens, Augusta, Sa-
vannah, Macon or Chattanooga got any ad-
vantage of II we have not heard OF it.
Our testimony would toe that Atlanta drew
from AbbevilIe many Thousands of dollars
which should have been spent al Abbey iIIe.
or should have gone TO pay debts here. Some
OF our merchants, we believe, lost a large
siouC oS buC GApooitiOu, anu uOue VI OuI peO-
pie reaped any advantage to themselves by
going to the Atlanta Exposition.
In twenty years this editor has not spent S.
out OF Abbeville, and we see no reason why
our people should be enticed away to spend
their money among strangers.
Let no man misunderstood US. We are for
Abbeville first, last and all the time. But we
are not foolish enough to try to stop the Ex-
position. 1t will 60 on all the same. And
our people will be there, too. But when we
protest against going back on the business
men who have always treated them so well
we have discharged our duty. We are not
going to encourage our people to waste their
money by going to Charleston.
