of indignation over the trend of Dem.
ocracy in the senate Senator Bailey
(Dem., Tex resigned his seat In that
body at noon today and this evening
took it back again. Excitement over
his first action gave way to surprise
that he had reversed in so short a
time decision of such Importance
Bailey's resignation, sent by wire to
the governor of Texas. was not only
declined by the governor, but hun
dreds of Texans wired him to stick to
his job in the senate.
His Democratic colleagues took him
in hand and, in long conference
urged that he made grave mistake.
Their persuasion finally won him over
and Bailey agreed not to leave them

AN UNENVLABLE POSITION.

Truly South Carolina to-day oc-
cupics a peculiar and altogether I'M
enviable position. Her Governor is
at war with every department of the
State Government, from the Supreme
Court and the Attorney General down
to local magistrates and township
boards OF assessors. 1t would at
least seem that the Governor Of a
great State could better occupy his
time than by hunting up preteXts for
denying and disorganizing every
branch OF the government for per-
sonal and political spite.
And the question is gradually COM
ing uppcrm0st into the minds of
many Of his supporters and his oppo-
nen,s alike. as to whether personal
animositics and political prejudice
are really the true base for his err
ratio and senseless course, or If in
deed ii Is not the frantic effort Of a
drowning man to save himself from
the stagnant political pool. the filthy
waters Of which he himself had Il
large part in poiiuting.
His ruthless abuse Of the pardon
ing power since he entered the Office
he now hOldS-thc turning loose
upon the people OF the State Of MUIR

courts have found guilty and saw
fit, for the protection OF society and
the best interests OF the Common

ent purpose to bcStow upon his for

Sary graft, fraud and corruption
fame, whom the courts may convict
and Judges sentence. that full pardon
he is so gracious in handing out.

Of the winding-up commission,

from II neighbour State OF Georgia
the promise that there shall be a

Will displi ome hideous skeletons

nope apparent to us at present, aside
from the work OF the Attorney Gene
raj himself. from which source, ham
pered as he is by the CHIEF Executive,
we cannot look for much.
T. b. Fielder, the Atlanta attorney,
makes grave charges against the
Governor Of South Carolina, and in
turn the Governor makes grave
charges against Fielder. In these
charges and cOuntcrcharges we see
the only hope OF bringing to the sur
race the dirty work OF the past years
OF state dispcnsary corruption. Mr..
FIELDER may be able TO force the Gov
erh0r to sign the act OF the recent
General Assembly calling for A COM
pete investigation. but we doubt it,.
however,. he claims to have posses
sion OF sufficient material 10 hiring
many things to light even if the in

truly hope he will make good his
promise. This state sadly needs the
