The American Criminal Law Should
Be Recast.

That the American criminal law
has serious defects, and that if the
American people wish to rule they
must "thoroughly, nationally and
honestly recast the criminal law"
were asserted by Attorney General
c. J. Bonaparte, in an address be-
fore the National Municipal League
at Pittsburg a few days ago. He
declared that the gravest and least
excusable deficiency of the criminal
law is found in its endless DELAYS,
and added that if the people demand
prompt and unquestioning obedience
to the peoples laws, and give to this
demand an ample sanction in swift.
sure and grievous retributiOn for all
rebelliOus to those laws, the peoples
rule will be real.
''Why need there be a foretaste of
eternity" he asked, "between arrest
and indictment: another between
Indictment and trial, and vet
another between trial and actual
punishment" This he answered by
declaring that it is partly "because
the bench and professional opinion
among the bar tolerate all kinds OF
dilatOry, frivolous and often rdicu-
lous proceedings on the part OF
INSCRIPTIONS counsel, intended to
cheat Justice of her plain due; partly
because our lawmakers afford almost
infinite facilities for review Of judicial
action to the criminal. although

More Unjust Criticism.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
Some days ago the News gave
considerable attention to what it
deemed an unfair and unwarranted
arraignment of the South by the
New York Tribune, the incident call
ing forth the abuse of the Tribune
being the murder of f. w. Carmaek.
The unfairness and prejudice iuspir-
ing the Tribune'S attacks is even
more apparent in the spirit behind
the following, taken from the New
York Evening Post:
LET no one make the mistake of
thinking that lynch law in the South
applies only to henegro. You must
not disagree with the existing order
of things, for if you do, your position
is i'll danger, particularly if you hap
pen to be a college professor If you
are too personal in your criticisms,
why the revolver will be your fate
and your executiOner will quite as
often be Il member of one of the
Oldest families, as a poaching night
rider. The whole South must come
to the realization of the injury such
crimes do to it's good name, for it's
progressive minority is already
awake to the facts.
"No one unfamiliar with the South
can fully realize the ramifications of
this terrorism of public sentiment.
Men who are moved to disagree are
either compelled to suppress their
views, or utter them and then suffer
the consequences.
Having already expressed our
views on the injustice of such COM
ment as this we desire here only to
give the opinion Of contemporary,
the Augusta Chronicle, which we
believe is expressive of that view
held throughout the South. In speak
ing of the Evening Posts attack on
the South, the Chronicle truthfully
says:
Such misrepresentation and abuse
should have no place in respectable
Journalism. Its influence is miser-
able and petty and calculated to fos-
ter misunderstanding and i'll feeling
between the North and South that
has no place in this day and era.
The murder of Senator Carmack
has shocked and hurt the South in
expressibly, and there has been no
lack of condemnation and horror at
it in this section Had such a crime
occurred in New York, Illinois or
Maine, no hue and cry would have
been raised against an entire section.
The murderer and his allies would
have received the blame. But hap
pening, as it did in Tennessee, the
whole South is arraigned and exco-
rated.
But perhaps the South should not
concern herself with Northern criti-
cisms and shallow misrepresentation
of prejudiced minds. She stands as
one family. suffering acutely the sor-
rows and disgraces which her black
sheep bring"

Another day designated by the
President as one OF thanksgiving has
come and gone Many of us had
turkey, and gathered with us at the
table were those who brighten home
life and give charm to our earthly
existence. HearthstOnes were warm.
and hearts beat with exhilarating
hope. In this particular section of
common country we have enjoyed q
season OF rare beauty, gladdened by
well-nigh unbrOken sunshine and
crowned with the blessings of abund-
ant harvest. Our flag went down i'm
fierce political struggle, civic hopes
were crushed, the interests of the
many were sacrificed in the interests
OF the few, and vet out of battle peace
has been borne and with courage and
good cheer we are facing. the future
with manly hearts and without fear.
But it may be that you didn't have
turkey for dinner on yesterday, and
there were vacant chairs at the
family table, and actual want in
some homes. But was there no one
among us who did not have much
for which to be grateful? Was
your pulse-beat strong and regular?
Could You look into the faces of your
friends? Could you recognize the
glory of God in the heavens? Could
you rest at night and labor during
the day? Can you read and have Il
Bible in your home? Do you not en-
Joy the privilege of prayers? and can
you not enjoy the spirit of forgive
ness? Can you not give the helping
hand to II fallen brother? say or sing
something of cheer to sad hearts?
Think on these things, and if you
were not thankful on yesterday be SO
