LOGAN, of Charleston, re Is no}authorized to take advertisements for thfc newspaper. _ ? Sc Wednesday, Dec. 6, 1893. in Twelve Images. JJj * er The Election of JudgeN. ct Last Friday was a notable day lu tbe bis- le tory of South Carolina. Tbe names of four of her honored Judges? McGowan. Izlar, Hud- gg son and Wallace?were dropped from the roll W of Judges In this State, and new men were ze elected to fill their places. I> Except in tbe case of Judge Hudson, we be- Fi liere there was assigned no just reason for displacement. In tbe care of Judge Hudson, m he, being of tbe old school, thought that notb- Pi ing good could come of the faction now in ^ power, and he sought to set aside tbe most di important law which they had enacted, that ^ of the dispensary. In the case of tbo other Judges who were D not re-elected, we believe there was no special B objection to them. Their ability, their legal K attainments and their integrity are acbnowl- .)< edged by all. But the political demands of ^ the faction were such that they simply pre- v ferred new men, and men of their own fac* T tlonal faith. M The recent frequent Interference by the Ju- h diciary with the Executive in the discharge of H the functions of his office, created a fear of further interruptions, aud give birth to the n desire to reward their own men with office. The quarrel between the "outs" and the ^ "ins" has been going on for years, and of q course when friction is kept up there must be 27 an exciting cause, and we have no doubt that faults have been committed by both parties. The administration has been nagged nearly j, every day since it went Into power, and it is m not strange that Tillman should say and do Q things which outsiders might consider as in- j, discreet, vindictive or malicious. According to our own way of thinking last Saturday's election was only the legitimate {c result of the aggravating causes. X All the antl-Tlllman men will soon be out of office, but If the undesirable result should jj; bring about a condition of peace in South Carolina it will be well for the Slate. The newly elected Judges will be put on trial, and It remains for them to make their own record. If they do well they will merit 8C and receive the well done of their country- it men. If they maintain the law, and if the ^ Executive should enforce the law with fair- ai nessand impartiality?even to the utter and absolute route or the "buna tigers"?me puolic will suffer no great loss, and tbe honor and 0( good name of South Carolina will be pre- r served at home and abroad. R ai f ' " ' m te Reducing Salaries. j(' Tbe Legislature is now making an effort to L reduce tbe salaries of- certain clerks and officers. The Reform party has now been in power h for three years and tblB Is the last meeting of T< the Legislature until after another election. ^ The'Press and Banner is not informed if iH any of the salaries are now too high, for faith- la ful service, but whether high or low it seemp to us tbe reduction at this late time comes with poor grace?when it can not affect the salaries of the Incumbents, and can only effect the men who are to be elected next year. Having taken tbe present high salaries themselves they seem disposed to say tbat tbe next A set shall not have tbe same pay as they have received?ana idis toowimoui Kaowiag toe ability and worth of tbelr successors. While It may be true that the salary for the T present Is too high, when the quality of ser- e< vice la considered, yet it Is possible that those K who may be elected next year may better on earn their money. The next set of officers ought not to be measured by the yard stick of t| those w|j>o now hold positions. id For instance: If the Reformers should p think tbelr Judges are worth only 82,500 h w year, it is quite possible that the Democratic lo members would concur in that opinion, but it ri is rather an unusual proceeding for a party to x discount the services of their own officers. N To reduce salaries now would be virtually to ^ admit that the service of a Reformer Is not x worth as much as those of the Democrats X who have heretofore held the officers. As a ^ matter of iact, we are not disputing the lmplication, and shall make no complalntof the Legislature should they manifest a just appreciation of the value of their own officers. tl But as a matter of fact and sound sense we m v do not believe there Is either necessity or COO a policy 10 reducing me Binaries ai uus time. The next set may deserve the present T salaries, and there Is no use In changing the h) law to suit individual or isolated cases. To qi cast the reflection on the newly elected of- J. fleers is a proceeding which is unusual. ?? ? tl News or Ancient History. ^ The Press and Banner printed the Govern- bl or'a Message in supplement form lor several B( other offices, and because of our Inability to 2< comply with the conditions attached to sev? 81 erai other orders we fell short of filling the B< demand. Ir We reoelved part of the copy of the Message about four o'clock on Saturday evening. The lf balance, including the financial statements H and the tables we received at about the same ?j hour on Monday evening. The whole was made ready for the press that night, and at K about two o'clock our press commenced to bl run. The publication of a paper like the Message la worth something to a newspaper, lf pub- ^ ilshed as "news," but if Its appearance Is de- b ferred until a later period when It may be danomlnated "ancient history," it Is com- <*! paratively worthless. u Id order that the readers oftbePresB and Banner might see it [promptly, we set It up ' and printed It In'the paper at a cost ranging anywhere from $15 to $18. When the type was bi set we proposed to give our neighbors the same thing at forty cents per hundred copies, and a number availed themselves of the advantageous offer. If we had waited until this week, we could have presented It on our patent pages without extra cost. But we Incurred the extra cost for '-news," rather than \ publish "ancient history" without cost. In appreciation oi our efforts to publish the message, our old friends of tbeKeowee Cour- m ier make the following kind notice of our w work: ^ "We are pleased to be able to lay before the 01 readers of the Courier the full text of Gov- w ernor Tillman's message to the Legislature of at sonih r<trnMn? ak read at noon Tuesday be-1 T1 fore botb Houses of the General Assembly, ur The message speaks for itself and will well repay a careful reading. ed "'we eBteem the privilege of putting the he message in tbe hands of our subscribers in TI advance even of tbe daily papers. The me- pe chan lea I 9xeeutlon is superb. It is the work he of that prince among the printers of South so Carolina, Hugh Wilson, Editor of the Abbe- $a villePres8 and Banner. The printing is in the highest style of tbe art, and we return thanks to Brother Wilson for the prompt and handsome manner in which be ailed our order." Cc The Watcbmnn and Southron.
