to recognize the writ, and another
Judge was applied to for a writ
after the Governor had acted,
but he declined on the ground
that there was writ already in

so widely as to d course OF pro-

The Governor did not mince

them plainly that he regarded
their action a piece Of trIckery

QUIT .HARPING.

We cannot see any good to
result from The States inces
SAINT claims of corruption in the
First Congressional District.
Tie election is over, the result
has been declared, the conquer
ed are not raising any protest,
and the victor is content, then
why continue harping upon that
which will not remedy the con
dition? The writer did not sup
port the successful candidate,
but did what little he could for
for his opponent, when the re-
suit was declared like a demo
crat should do, he acquiesed III
the verdict Of the party, and he
thinks The State. and all others
should do tue same. There is
much being made OF the corrup-
tion in Charleston. but who IS
the beneficiary, Was it the can
didate declared nominate, or the
one defeated? The vote in that
county and city Was very close,
aud LOO, under the very legal
restrictions The State has con.
tended should be the law all
over the State-the registration
of voters to make them eligible
to vote in the primary. If the
registration for the primary will
not prevent fraud, then we can-
not see what will do it. There
is no power on earth which will
prevent men from selling their
votes, and as long as this power
is lacking, just so long will a
plethora wad be an influential
factor in elections, not only in
Charleston but all over the
State. Catch the briber and the
brlbe-taker. then find the jury
which will put them both in the
penitentiary, when this is done
perhaps then will tue elections
be free from corruption, until
then, our opinion is, the constant
advertising of fraud with no
proof is not doing the recent
nominee of the First Congress
sional District justice: but be.
clouds the commission to his
office with suspicion.

A wealthy merchant in Paris who
does an extensive business With Japan

have learned the truth BY cablins; but,
to save expense, instead be went to q
well known banker who bad received
the news and requested him to reveal
the name Of the firm.
That's very delicate thing to de-"
replied the banker, .for the news Is

The merchant argued. but in yaia.
and finally he made this proposition:
Il will give you" he said, "a list OF
ten firms in Yokohama, and viii asst
you to look through 1t and then tell me.
without mentioning any name, wheth-
er or not the name Of the drm which
has failed appears in It. Surely you
will do that for me-"
YES" said the banker. "for II do
not mention any name I cannot be held
responsible In any way"
The list was made. The banker looked
through it and as he handed 1t back to
the merchant said. "The name Of the
merchant who has failed is there"
'Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant, "for that is the firm with
which did business" showing him q
name on the list.
"But how do you know that q tho

er In surprise.

"Of the ten names on the list only one
Is genuine. that Of the firm with which
did business. All the others are &c

WHAT WILL THE OUTCOME BE!

The contemplated action of
the California legislature to
enact law which will debar
japanese from owning lands in
that State is giving the federal
government much concern, and
1t may result in some lnterna-
tional complication. President
Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan are deeply interested, and
both have have been using their
influence to urge the Califor
mans not to pass a law which
may disturb the present treaty
relation between this and the
japanese government. For the
past several years ever since
the Japanese-Russlan War there
has been a constant effort made
by a jingo element to involve
the United States and Japan
into a strained relation. and
should California adopt the leg
isIation pending IN it's general
assembly, which seems to have
the approval of Governor John
son. recently a candidate for
vice-president as Col. Theodore
Roosevelt's running mate, it IS
likely to becoming embarrassing
to the United States, and force
this government to join with
the japanese in the effort TO
have the supreme court to de-
Clare such legislation in viola.

WILL TIE TARIFF REDUCTION HURTl

The Congress is now engaged
upon a revision of the tarlf.
This probably IS the greatest
question before the coun,
try the present administra,
tion will have to contend with,
unless it is the matter of cur
rency reform. 1t is the history
of every political party which
undertook to disturb the tai
if that complications arose tend
ing to bring a feeling of unrest
in business circles. if the pres
ent administration can so revise
the tariff so as not to create dis
turbance of the business of the
country, it will have entrenched
Itself into the confidence so
strongly that it will be many
years before another party will
capture the government. Already
there are ramblings being heard
against the proposed tariff leg
islation. Governor Foss of Mas
sachuSetts is quoted as being
displeased with it and the Dem
ocratlc representatives from
Louisiana and other States have
expressed themselves with being
dissatisfied. Just how tar this
discomfort will go cannot as yet
be determined, because the mat
ter is entirely experimental:
those who have the revision in
charge have no doubt given the
subject careful study.
It was to be expected the Re.
publicans would be opposed to
disrupting the present tariff reg
uIations, but When the Congress
goes on to reauce the protection
given to the products,!of Ameri-
can industries it causes those
representatives to sit up and
take notice lest their industries
will be greatly embarrassed
thereby. Louisanna's sugar in
dustry which, perhaps, is to that
State what cotton is to other
Southern States, is greatly alar
med over the situation, and her
representatives have the fight of
their political lives to prevent
sugar from being put on the
the free list. The wool growers
of the West are in a similar
position, and so are the growers
OF citrus fruits of California and
Florida.
The average consumer vel
comes this reduction, the com
petition which will arise by let
ting in foreign products on a
competitive basis with the pro
ducts of the United States is en-.
ticing when it is looked upon
from one viewpoint, but there is
another side TO this question;
the wage Garner is to be con
sldered, the thousands of men:
women and children who must
labor in the manufacturing and
mining industries, if their wages
are cut down bv the tariff re-
duction will it have the effect
of creating discomfort in that
class of our citizens? The people
Of the South are concerned, be-
cause, if the tariff on cotton
goods is cut to any great extent
1t is but natural to suppose that
the price Of the raw product will
be decreased also. and if the
price of labor remains as it is
there is reason to believe that
it will take years to bring our
people to the condition to adjust
themselves to the change.
