A Good Virginia Law.

The Richmond Times Dispatch
rehearses the particulars Of the
criminal assault near Charlotte
last week and adds by way of
comment:
cit is distressing to have to re.
late such story in these columns
but there is in it an object lesson
which should be impressed upon
all occasions. We, ofNirginia have
been much condemned by North
ern fanatics for cnacting a law
making attempt ut criminal as
sault upon women punishable
with death at the discretion of
the jury. This incident which is
by no means an isolated case,
serves to show the necessity for
the Virginia StStute and the lust
ifcation of it. such an attempt,
as we have said, is almost as bad
as the actitsclf, SO far "a the suf-
fering Iof the victim goes; but
more than that, The law is ncces-
sary as the only lawful means Of
preventing such attempts, and
still again it is necessary as a
means of preventing lynching.
In the eyes Of the public the brute
who commits an assault such as
we have above related deserves
to die, and if the law does not
provide for the death penalty, in
dignant citizens of the community
are very apt to take the law into
their own hands and attend to
the case.
The argument of our ontem-
porary is sound, and the law of
Virginia to which it refers is a
good one. We wish it we're the
law Of North Carolina also. The
Observer hopes it is not blood
thirsty, but it thinks there has
been too strong a.tendcncy Of late
years toward the modification Of
Our criminal laws. If this is true
there can be little hope of the
enactment Of a statute like that Of
Virginia; but it is truth that the
brute who makes a criminal,
though unsuccessful. assault upon
a woman, has committed as great
crime against her and against
civilized society as the other beast
who succeeded, and as richly de-
serves to die. The subject is not
nice one to discuss in public,
and we dismiss it with a sugges-
tion.-Charlotte Observer.

The Dispcnsary's Most Devoted
Newspaper and Admirer
Seems to Snuff the Odor
of the Rottenness.
(From the Abbevillc Press and
Banncr.)

(trOm the Abbcvillc Press and
Banncr.)
We see by the newspapers that
some of the dispensers have been
receiving extra bottles of liquor
in their case goods.
Now, did they accept these ex-
ira bottles as bribcs from the
distiller and appropriate them to
their own nsc2
Or, did they charge them up to
their account, so that the state re-
ceived the profit?
If they appropriated these ex-
ira bottles as personal property
did they drink the liquor, or did
they sell their own liquor without
license? They had no more
right than anybody else to sell
their own liquor without license.
1t ssems that this whole liquor
business might be looked into.
If dispensers are selling these
extra bottles, and depriving the
State of customers, wherein is the
dispenser less culpable than a
blind tiger7
If a dispenser may receive and
sell one bottle, may he not also
receive and sell whole case7 If a
whole case, why not carload? p?
1t would seem to us that for a
dispenser to sell liquor on his
own account. without license,
while he is in the pay of the state
makes him doubly criminal, nam
ely: In his failure of loyalty to
his employer, and III his sale OF
liquor contrary to law.
1t lssto be hoped that the prop
er authorities may look into this
matter. If dispensers may re
ccive liquor as bribe from dis
tillers and then sell it unlawfully
while in the employ Of the state,
it is time that the people under
stood the matter.
If one set of officers may re-
ceive rebates, and if another Sc,
may receive bottled liquor, are
there any other places for pro
fits?
Let us nCtt. misunderstood.
We are standing for the dispen
sary first, last and all the time.
But we want the evils remedieC
and the liqnor sold according tc
law.

is the Catawbas, who Mt one time
inhabited all that section from
Savannah to the North Carolina

years ago there are but eighty
left and they want to go West
where they may be with the resi-

81 ,500a year f.r their support
and Harris lden was that this
money could he used for trans
portation to the Indian Territory.
The governor, however, had no
authority to do this hnt promised
tina; he would take up matter with
the legislature and recommend it
If the tribe really desired 10 leave
the State.
Harris says that the few that
are left are not full bloods and
that the appropriation has taken
away all of their desire to work.
Without t h appropriation,
however, it is doubtful if they
would live rs almost all Of their

The Democrats Of the Second Congress
slOnal District, in convention assembled. do
reaffirm the principles of the Democratic
party. as laid down by the party and enun-
ciated by its various party platforms
We recognize and regret the growing ten
deDcy Of Corporate Control Of our Govern
mental affairs, both State and National. and
the iniquitous system by which the earnings
of the people are appropriated. by aid of
class legislation to the use of the favored
few, and we pledge the candidate Of this
convention, when elected 10 the Congress
of the United States, to stand for the inter-
est of the whole people in the contest now
coming on between the public interest on
one hand and corporate greed ON the other.
We recognize the disposition on the part
Of the kings of finance to organize trusts for
the purpose of increasing and controlling
the price of the necessaries of life. and we
therefore pledge the candidate Of this con-
gention, when elected. to urge the adoption
Of such laws as will place upon the free list
all articles so controlled by trusts as toarbit-
rarly increase the price thereof TO the con-
sumer.
We believe and assert, most emphatically,
that taxation for State purposes should be
levied and collected upon all persons and
corporations according to the amount and
va ne Of property owned by such persons or
corporations.
That we regard the constantly broadening
CORPORATION laws of this State, the giving to
corporations chartered here more powers
and privileges over the people, for the sake
Of competing with other States In an effort
to secure charter taxes from them, as
menace to ourrights and liberties and dan
gerous tendency in our Legislative enact
ments.
We denounce those fake tax Yeformers
persons in this State who for personal and
| political purposes have enacted and now are
carrying into effect new and radical tax laws
under the pretence Of seeking to give the
people relief from taxation.
That we believe the only practical way to
reduce taxation is TO reduce public expeDdi-
lures. and call attention to the recklessly
lextravagant expenditures Of the past Repub-
iican Legislature. In every branch Of state
government and all other state institutions
we urge economy and consequent reduction
of taxes instead OF the devising of new
schemes for raising public revenue.
