SPANISH POPULACE EXCIT-
ED OVER NEW MINISTRY.

Madrid, Dec. 4.-King Alfonso has
approved the new ministry under
the premiership of Marquis de Armi-
jo, in which General Weyler re-
sumes his old post as minister of
war.
The populace of Madrid is greatly
excited over the cabinet crisis. Anti
clerical manifestations continued all
night and the police were compelled
to charge the crowds, many persons
being injured, among them the
Grand Vicar Bishop of Madrid, who
was hit by stone. About two thou
sand women of the aristocracy,
headed by the Duchess S. de Balien,
have petitiened the king against low
associations.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
AS nation we still continue to en-
Joy a literally unprecedented pros
perity; and it is probable that only
reckless speculation and disregard of
legitimate business methods on the
part of the business world can mater
tally mar this prosperity.
No congress in our time has done
more good work of Importance than
the present Congress. There were
several matters left unfinished at
your last session, however, which 1
most earnestly hope you will COM
plete before your adjournment.
Corporation Campaign Contributions.
1 again recommend law prohibit
ing all corporations from contribut-
ing to the campaign expenses of any
party. Such a bill has already past
one House of Congress. Let indi-
viduals contribute as they desire; but
let us prohibit in effective fashion
all corporations from making contri-
buttons for any political purpose, di-
rectly or indirectly.
Governments Right of Appeal in
Criminal Cases.
Another Bill which has Just past
one house of Congress and which it
Is urgently necessary should be en-
acted into law is that confering upon
the Government the right of appeal
in criminal cases on questions of law.
This right exists in many States; it
exists in the District of Columbia by
act of Congress. 1t is of course not
for the defendant on the merits
should be set aside.
1t is we'll to recollect that the real
efficiency of the law often depends
not upon the passage of acts as to
which there is great public excite
ment, but upon the passage of acts
of this nature as to which there is
not much public excitement, because
there is little public understanding
of their Importance, while the inter-
ested parties are keen1y alive to the
desirability of defeating them. The
importance of enacting into law the
particular bill in question is further
increased by the fact that the Govern
ment has now definitely begun pol
icy of resorting to the criminal law
in those trust and interstate COM
merce cases where such a course Of
fers a reasonable chance of success.
At first, as was proper, every effort
was made to enforce these laws by
civil proceedings; but it has become
increasingly evident that the action
of the Government in finally decid-
ing, In certain cases, to undertake
criminal proceedings was iustifiable;
and tho there have been some con-
spicuous failures in these cases, we
have had many successes. which have
undoubtedly had deterrent effect

TWO NEGROES PAY THE
EXTREME PENALTY.

valdosta, Ca, Dec 4.-The crime
for which J. G. Rawlins and Alfred
Moore, negroes are to be executed
here today, and the prolonged litiga-
ton which followed up to save them
from the gallows has been almost
without precedent in the criminal
history of Georgia. The killing of
Willie and Carrie Carter on the
night of July II, 1905, was regarded
as particularly cold-blooded.
Leading up to this crime was a
feud between J. G. Rawlins, former
ly Baptist minister, and w. L. Car
ter, a Methodist minister, which or
iginated in Coffey county, Georgia,
and which was renewed when the
two men found themselves occupants
of adjoining farms in Lowndes coun-
ty. On the night of July II, distur-
bance outside of Carter's home bro't
Willie Carter into the yard to inves-
tigate. Immediately a shot rang out
and he fell mortally wounded His
sister Carrie ran to his side, and two
shots brought instant death to her.
The elder Carter opening the door
saw the attack being made on his
nome. He barricaded the house, fear
ing even to go to the aid of his chill
dren. Later Willie Carter dragged
himself to the door and was taken
in. He died a few hours later The
body of the little girl remained in
the yard until daylight. During the
night occasional shots were heard,
adding terror to the besieged home
The crime appeared to be fastened
on J. G. Rawlins, his sons Jesse, Mil
ton and Leonard and the negro Aft
Moore. The five were arrested, and
the negro confessed, saying that the
elder Rawlins had hired him to kill
the entire Carter family, and sent
his three sons to assist in the lob.
The negro said that Rawlins told
him to kill Carter and wife, and as
the children ran out of tle house to
kill them. According to the confes-
sion, neither the negro nor Leonard
Rawlins fired a shot, but the bloody
work was done by Jesse and Milton.
1t appeared that J. G. Rawlins had
not been at the scene of the murder,
but certain remarks made by him
implicated him as having guilty
knowledge of the crime.
The result of the trial which fol
lowed speedily was the conviction
of J. G. Rawlins, his three sons and
Alf Moore. All received the death
sentence, excepting Leonard, for
wnom the jury recommended elem
ency, and his sentence was life i'm
prisonment. The governor declined
Cooper confessed that the limit of
his resources had been reached. Five
times has the date of execution been
set for the father and three times
for the sons. The fate of Jesse and
Milton Rawlins remains to be set
tied. Next Friday mas been set for
their execution, but a petition for
Communication of tle death sentence
to life Imprisonment will be heard
by the prison commission next
Thursday.

Setting Aside of Judgments and
Granting of New Trials.
In connection with this matter, !
would like to call attention to tine
very unsatisfactory state of our Grim
inal law, resulting in large part from
the habit of setting aside the judg-
ments of inferior courts on technical
tiles absolutely unconnected with the
merits of the case, and where there
is no attempt to show that there has
been any failure Of substantial justice
1t would be well to enact a law provid
ing something to the effect that:
No Judgment shall be set aside or
new trial granted in any cause, civil
or criminal, on the ground of misdirec
tion of the jury or the improper ad-
mission or rejection of evidence, or
for error as to any matter of plead
ing Or procedure unless, in the opin-
ion of the court to which tse applica-
ton is made, after an examination of
the entire cause, it shall affirmatively
appear that the error complained of
has resulted in a miscarriage of JUS
tice.
lnjunctions.
In my last message l suggested
the enactment of a law in connection
with the issuance of injunctions, at
tention having been sharply drawn to
the matter by the demand that the
right of applying injunctions in labor
cases should be wholly abolished. 1t
is at least doubtful whether a law
abolishing altogether the use of in
functions in such cases would stand
the test of the courts; in which case
of course the legislation would be in
effective. Moreover, I believe it
would be wrong altogether to prohib-
it the use of injunctions. 1t is Grim
inal to permit sympathy for crimi
nails to weaken our hands in uphold
ing the law; and if men seek to de-
stroy life or property by mob violence
there should be no impairment of the
power of the courts to deal with them
in the most summary and effective
way possible. But so far as possible

DAMON AND PYTHIAs.
The Play Most Successfully Given
by Home Talent Last Night.

Il
was most successfully rendered last
night before a large and appreciatfve
audience by a home talent company
under the auspices of the local lodge
Knights of Pythias. Every reserved
seat in the house was occupied, and
the liberal applause given during the
play attested the satisfaction of the
audience.
This play is founded on the histor-
ic story of tae friendship of Damon
and Pythias in the ancient city of
Syracuse, Pythias freely placing his
life in danger and sacrificing mis- all
through love for Damon. The part
of Damon was taken by Lawrence
McCarty, Aubrey Smith representing
Pythias. Mr.. McCarty is an actor OF
reputation in the states, and both
he, and his wife, who portrayed Her
mion, showed their ability as finish
ed artists on. the stage. AS Pytnias,
Aubrey Smith played with fire and
vim and well acted the soldier friend
of Damon.
