Senator Tillman is still believer in
and defender Of the dispensary though
he denies at this late day that be ever
said it was or believed it to be great
moral institution. His speech at
Gaffney was more of an apology than
clear cut defence and for Tillman to
apologize for the dispensary shows
that it is indeed in a bad way. II the
reforms he suggests as necessary to
the salvation of the system are carried
out the sales will be largely curtailed
and the big profit that now salve the
public conscience and silence the ton
CUES of many who are at heart opposed
to the dispensary will vanish. If all
the Liquor is purchased from one
house and case goods tabooed the dis
pensary may sell purer whiskey and
the opportunity for grating may be
somewhat less but the system will not
become thereby any less Objectionable
or less antagonistic to democratic prin-
ciples. 1t is q monopoly pure and
simple and all monopolies are evil in
principle and practice. If they ap-
parently benefit the public in one way
they multiply iniquity in another. In
the case of the dispersary system we
are free to admit that in many res
poets it is q vast improvement over
the old bar room system aud has bene-
fitted the State by eradicating those
plague spots. But on the other hand
it has not decreased the consumption
Of liquor. has not decreased lawless-
ness and blood shed resulting from
drunkenness and has built up en- evil
and corrupting and powerful political
machine. Furthermore it has made
liquor selling respectable occupation
and liquor drinking semi--espectible
and commendable in that it is now a
species of tax paying. The final word
that can be said respecting the dis
peusary system is that it is undemo-
cratic aud foreign to our form of gov
ernment and therefore wrong, and no
amount Of tinkering with tee details
OF its management and administration
can make it right.

The arrest Of the Eutawville lynch
sers shows that in Gov. Heyward and
Solicitor Hildebrand South Carolina
has two officials who act, rather than
talk. Instead of performing their full
duty, of which We hear so much ana
see SO little, by giving cut series OF
typeWritten interviews on the subject
of the Eutawville crime they have ar
rested the criminals and landed them
in the penitentiary. Even though the
men guilty of the horrible crime
escape the full measure Of punishment
they SO richly deserve through the SYM
pathy Of the jury and the specious
pleas of their lawyers, great good
win have been accomplished. The
next hest thing to hanging few doz-
zen lynehers is to make them dght for
their lives at the bar Of Justice.
When there is the probability of arrest
and trial for murder, lynch law will
not bs SO popular. It cost money to
hire lawyers and lynehing will be-
coma 900 expensive q sport for the
average mob to indulge in. Gov.
Heyzard and Solicitor 81 ildebrand have
performed their duty-a rare thing
these days, when in the doirg apublic
official must pursue policy antago-
nistic to the sentiments large num-
her Of voters.

The attack of the Russian Baltic
feet Oh the English fishing boats in
the North Sea can only be explained
as the result of fren2ied cowardice.
The Russians were evidently scared TO
the limit. expecting the japanese to
rise up out of the sea at any moment
and destroy their feet, so they open
ed FIRE on the first thing resembling
boat they saw. An old saying is
that coward is more dngerous than a

humble apology:
EDITOR LOGAN REPUBLICAN:-In

that 1.-THE state committee pays VIM.
Glasmann gOodly sum of money to
stump the state for the republican
party" Your reporter has erred in
using the words as ! do not receive
anything for my services from any
one. i give my time and services to
the Grand Old Party free of charge
this year, as | have always done i'm the
past. ! even furnish my own railway
transportation. Kindly publish this.
WILLIAM GLASMANN.
The REPUBLICAN is pleased to add
that Mr.. Glasmann's service and sac
riiice for the party has not been small
this year, nor in former years. In
the Ogden Standard, Mr.. Glasmann
has a newspaper that for influence in
behalf of the G.. o. p is not surpassed
in the state, and we are sufficiently
cognizant of the recompense usually
accorded party papers to know that
hls reward there has not surpassed
the service. In giving his time and
energy to campaign in the wake OF
Powers, Mr.. Glasmann is not merely
serving the party of the state, but the
people of the nation, who can lily af,
ford to have democratic congressman
at the seat of government.
