a Badge or Shame.

The Lake County Herald, published
at P1inesville, lio, directs an oper
letter to Lake county's representati va
In the state legislature. 1t was report
ed that this representative had IN
bounced that he expected to receive a
railroad pass during his service, and
would accept and use 81 a pass. The
Herald dir cts attention to the fact
that this amber Of the legislature is
presumed to act as the attorney IL.
the state legislature for the people of
$ ,ate county, and that he will be re
rauired to vote on important railroad
legislation. The Herald pleads with
this representative to rel cot the pass,
and to stand as a free representati Y
Of public interests In commenting
on the above The Commoner says the
appeal Is a good one, and 1t Is hoped
1t will be heed ed. The free pass is one
OF the great evils Of the day, and no
public Official is in q position to dis
charge his duty to the people IL he
places himself under obligations to
the corporations. The battle against
the free pass Is not a temporary strug.
gle. Unless we are prepared to con.
TESS that popular government is a
farce, that battle will not cease until
the pass has been abolished. In the
meantime let 1t be understood every.
Where that a free pass in the hands
OF a public Official Is a badge Of shame.

I'm BamberU.

A dispatch from Bamberg to the
News and Courier says. q dastardly at.
tempt was mad on Thursday night To
wreck the TAP west. bound passenger
train.from Charleston to Augusta. The
miscreants placed q heavy, thirty.
foot railroad iron directly across the
track, a few hundred yards east CT the
depot and within the corporate limits.
Those Who committed the crime seem
to have been inspired by no other mo.
tive than mischief or malice, for the
point at which the obstruction was
placed Is within the town and In a
rather thickly populated section. 1t Is
not thought that robbery could have
been the motive, for In case the train
mad been wrecked a large crowd OF our
cll1zens would have gathered upon the
spot promptly, and thus frustrated
the desire. Fortuna tely The engineer
saw the obstruction In time to pre-.
pare for 1t, and the only damage done
was O. wrecked oow-cltcher. AS VET,
there Is no clew to the perpetrators.
but no expense will be spared to fer.
ret them out and punish them sever.

mended that che farmers adopt alfal,

Is recalled that the agricultural socie

Der Of planters with seed and offered
a series OF prizes to those who would
engage In the cultivation. The exper.
lments In not less than 25 instances
have proved successful. 1t was shown
In one case that SO, 900 pounds OF al,

which by previous test, would pro-
duce only 10, 900 pounds OF ordinary
hay. If the farmers Of the State gen.

land to this forage, the benefit would
be IL cjlculable. Tho saving of the

rhe Mora Law

Andrew Hamilton, the life Insurance
lobbyist, declares that Of the $500, O0O
expended by him in his lobby work,
not n dollar was expended con.
trary to the moral law. 1t Is fortu-
nate for the country that the Hamil.
ton idea Of morals does not generally
prevail. The idea that the use of
money to debauch legislatures and
corrupt judges Is not contrary to NOR
ais would, If generally accepted, make
government a farce and reduce the
people to AFFECT slavery. There was
a time when many thoughtful men
believed that the Hamilton code of
morals poevailed generally, but re.
cent developments prove that, af
all a majority Of the people are hon
est and will insist that public bust
ness be honestly cared for. IL requir.
ed a long time, and multiplied perse

Hamilton code Of morals prevailed
In high financial circles, but when
they were finally aroused they took
speedy action with the result that a
great many mon who had long posed
as statesmen, patriots aud defenders
OF national honor'' were exposed to
public contempt. The Hamilton code
OF morals will be ably defended by the
Amalgamated Association oil Porch
Climbers, the Burglars Benevolent
and Protective Association, the
Sandbaggers" Mutual Association,
and kindred organizations. But it Will
be scored by men who believe In the
moral code handed down upon Sinia
