President Roosevelt announces
that be is satisfied with the work
of his political referees in the
southern states and that there will
be no changes made. Now, will
the president be satisfied if his
referees do not take charge Of the
republican conventions next year
and send up the Roosevelt delega-
tions? The time is near at hand
when the so called democrat acting
as referee will be expected to walk
into the republican conventions
and run them in the interest of
his republican boss. That they
will do so there is no shadow Of a
doubt.

The post office department seems
to be the favorite resort for the
~rascals that seek to rob the govern
ment. The worst scandals in the
history of the government haye
been developed in this department
and judging from the way the
thieves succeeded very loose meth
DDS prevail in handling this de-
partment of the public service.
Thirty years ago the star route
thievery brought Gen. Grants
administration severe criticism and

: Senator Morgan of Alabama
has arrived in Washington and
will remain throughout the session.
The senator will enllghten the
president and the senate a, to
their duty on the canal question
setting forth the great advantages
of the Nicaragua route. Presi-
dent Roosevelt knows what the
plain letter of the law is and but
for the fact that he fears the rail
roads, that have SO far defeated
the effort to dig the canal, during
his canvass next year, he would
give the order to proceed with the
Nicaragua treaty.

Bad Literature.

Cursed be the books that try to
make impurity decent and crime
attractive and ~hypocricy noble
Cursed be the books that swarm
with libertines and desperadoes,
who make the brain Of the young
people whirl with villiany! Ye
authors who write them, We pub
fishers who print them, shall be
cut to pieces, if not by an arous-
ed community, than at last by the
hail of diylne vengeance which
shall sweep to the lowest pit of
perdition all We murderers of
souls. | tell you though you may
escape this world you will be
ground atlast under the hoof of
eternal calamites and you will be
chained to the rock and you will
have the vultures of dispair Glow
ing at your soul aud those whom
you have destroyed will come round
to torment you and pour hot Goals
of fury upon your head and re-
joice ~eternally in the cutlery of
your pain and damnation. "God
shall wound the hairy scalp of
him that goeth on in his tresspass-
es."
The clock strikes midnight. A
fair form bends over a romance.
The eyes flash fire. The breath
is quick and irregular. The hands
tremble as though a guardian spirit
were trying to shake the deadly
book out of her grasp. Hot tears
fall. She laughs with a shrill
voice that drops dead at it's own
sound. The sweat of her brow is
the spray dashed up from the river
of death. The clock strikes "foul,"
and the rosy dawn soon after be-
gins to look through the lattice
upon the pale form that looks like
a detained spectre of the night.
Soon in a mad-house she will mis-
take her ringlets for colling SER
penis and thrust her white hands
through the bars of the prison
and smite her head, rubbing it
back as though to push the scalp
from the skull, shrieking: "My
brain! my braln!" O, stand off
from that! Why will you go
sounding your way amid the reeds
and warning guays when there is
such a vast ocean in which you
may voyage, all sail set?-Tal-
mage.

]. II. TiIIman Acquitted.

The jury which tried Jas. H.
Tillman at Lexington, s. G. for
the killing of e. D. Gonzales, edi.
tor of The State, at Columbia, on
January 18th, has returned a YER
dict which said that the killing
of Gonzales was not murder. The
was one of the most noted in
the history of the state and the
best legal talent presented both
sides of the case to the jury. The
verdict came somewhat as a sur
pcise to the public generally as the
press in common had made out "a
C Use of murder and a conviction
seemed to be a foregone conclu-
sion. But the jury looked at the
matter differently and found it
their duty to acquit the accused.
Technically Tillman was guilty of
either murder or manslaughter
from the evidence. At the time
he fired the fatal shot Gonzales
a making no effort to do him
bodily harm and was evidently
unprepared in his own mind to be-
lieve that Tlllman would attack
him. Six months had elapsed
since the severe editorials which
caused the bad blood between the
two men and at this late day the
editor was caught off his guard
and slain. The lesson to be drawn
from the verdict of the jury IN
this case is one that has been
found IN nearly every similar
trail and verdict. Juries, which
are drawn from and are a part of
the public, hold men accused of
murder under such circumstances,
justifable, and it is impossible to
secure a conviction. When an
editor goes to the extreme that
Gonzales did in his denunciaiton
and abuse, and is shot down, the
public stands ready to justify the
killing, and the jury but voice the
sentiment. No public good can be
subserved by such editorial utter
ances the fact that a man is run
ming a newspaper does not license
him to abuse his fellowman, and
when it is INDUCED IN we have the
same fatal consequences. We cam
not recall an instance of where
editor was killed for INDUCING
in Incorporate and denunciatory
language that the slayer was ever
punished. The public will see to
it that he never is.
