Democrats had not favored many of
the appropriations, but had said moth
ing because it seemed useless to fight
them. But they lost their opportuni-
ty. If the minority is not response
BILE for results it owes the high duty
policy. 1t is not its duty to obstruct
legislation it does not approve ex-
cept in extreme cases. But it is its
duty to ring clear and to arouse the
peoples conscience to overturn the
majority when it does wrong.
The program mapped out by Mr..
Williams is excellent SO far as it goes,
but we hope he will make a study of
the Congressional work of Samuel j.
Randall prior to 1876, on the Appro-
priations Committee. 1t was largely
the work of Randall that enabled
Tilden to win on a platform of Re
trenchment and Reform" The Demo-
cratic members of the Appropriations
Committee, instead of trying to get
money for special things ought to cor
test every appropriation that is wrong,
wasteful or extravagant, and do so in
such a manner as to appeal to the
whole public. They will be doing a
great public service and making
strong issue for the next campaign.
Mr.. Williams is eternally right in
fighting for the Democratic policy of
rate regulation, favoring strong anti
trust legislation, and fighting the pro-
posed ship subsidy steal. He must
go a step further and oppose all sub
sidies-those granted to railroads as
well as those desired by ships. The
man who votes for the subsidy TO the
Southern Railway and then opposes
the ship subsidy advertises himself as
grossly inconsistent. Let the Demo-
cratic minority fight all subsidies, no
matter in what form, follow the lines
laid down by Mr.. Williams and stand
together and they will thereby serve
their party and their country.

DECADENCE OF SOUTHERN
STATESNANSHIP

The continued jeremiadS of the plat
form and the press over the decadence
of Southern craftsmanship is growing
monotonous and tiresome. The truth
is that there is no Webster or Call
houn in Congress-; no Jefferson in the
White House; no Lee in high position
in the army; no Edward Everett to
thrill the people with his oratory; no
Choate or Toombs to move juries and
dominate courts by their eloquence.
But we have in both sections an hum
dred men of commanding ability to
the South has not suffered in the pro-
duction of men of the Calhoun and
Webster type more than the North.
We dare say that nine-tenthS of the
American people do not even know
the name of the new Senator who is
i'm the seat of Webster. whereas,
though he is not in the same class With
Calhoun, the South Carolinian who
fills his seat is widely known and res
pected for his many strong qualities.
Man for man, the South can proudly
invite comparison of the men it sends
to the Senate with the men from any
other section of the Republic. An
swering in part the pessimistic view
that undertakes the ability of our
Southern men in public life, the Mon
roe Journal makes this point:
"Those who are bemoaning the de-
cadence of Southern craftsmanship
and the fact that the South seems TO
have no influence in the national gov
ernment, overlook one important fact
that is significant. When the Senators
of the United States met yesterday as
the most important and select elective
legislative body in the world, there
were pending against them more
charges of corruption, proven and un-
proven, than could be laid against any
other ninety men in the country Sc
lected at random. Yet these men are
supposed to be the highest product or
our politics The significant fact is
that not one of these charges is made
against a Southern Senator. Senator
Burton. ofsKansas, has just been con-
victed of corruption in using his intu-
ence before the postoffice department
and sentenced to Imprisonment ana
a fine. Senator Mitchell has been
convicted of land frauds. Chauncey
Depew has just been shown to be
reeking with corruption in the Eqult-
able scandal Senator Platt has just
admitted on the stand that ne TOOK
Insurance contributions as hush mon
ey. Smoot is charged with pollgamy
These are all of the illustrious ninety
that we Just now recall, but there are
others. Many of those from the CEN
ters of population are the beneficiarles
of the unholy alliance between corrupt
business and political graft. Ii the
people don't wake up it looks like this
country will be in the hands OF the
devil sooner than the schedule time.
The South was proud that it pro-
duced Calhoun and men of his intel
lectual superiority, but it was prouder
or the moral greatness of Calhoun and
his contemporaries than of their learn
ing and ability. If their successors
are not so eloquent or so profound,
they keep up the high standard OF
moral worth and civic Righteousness
in a day when the country is honey
combed with graft and official lapses.

FORMER MAYOR IS
HANGED FOR MURDER

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Jan. 20.
james Samuel McCue, former
mayor of Charlottesville, was hanged
in the county Jail here today for the
murder of his wife. The execution
attracted more public attention than
any previous hanging in this section
of the state.
The crime for which the ex-mayor
paid the death penalty occurred on
the night of September of last year.
Mr.. and Mrs. McCue had gone to
church, returning home about 9 p. m.
Shortly afterward Mrs. McCue's dead
body, clad in night robe, was found
in a bath tub filled with water Mr..
McCue told those who came in that
someone had entered the house upon
their return from church; that he had
been knocked senseless and his wife
probably killed. An investigation led
to the arrest on the charge of murder
of the man who only four days before
had retired from the highest office in
the city.
Mrs. McCue had received the con-
tents of a shotgun in her breast, a
sufficient wound to cause instant
death, but in addition she had been
struck a heavy blow on the head, cut
ting an ear nearly in two.
Mr.. McCue at first laid the crime
TO a stable boy. and offered $1,000
reward for evidence to convict the
murderer. The day after he offered
the reward ne was himself arrested
| for the crime. At the trial which
| followed several witnesses testified
