They hare uct been given time in which to make good, .and ar* threatened" with the log* of their position* before they have srarreiy legrn'd th** <Wities of their offires. Thus, we have in South Carolina, a demonstration of one <if the latest, fad* iu American Institutions. tha r of recalling officer* whenever popm lar sentinr nt will*. In both case* under discussion the officer* whom the people would have recalled have bean citixen* of their respective towiy for year*. They were known to thd people before election, they have Spent much of their lives in contact with those who would have them re moved from office. In Orangeburg. It la all n ged that the Mayor is un^t tempermentally for the office of May or, yet, with full knowledge of the man for a number of years, he was elected Major. It seems *trang“ thij/' ju*t a few months in 'he' Mayor’s office would demonstrate a temper amental insufficiency which 'vears of intimate knowledge of the man would not show.

K*. - ry man's wishes cannot pr va:i; else there would b* no government. Again the cry is raised that the people .ah be trusted. But we submit »ha* the highesf form of trust in .the people is the selecting df- officer*, a- i v.*hy. for the qfcort terms which no* *>xist, should not the peopie’ be for ed to abide by their ihoke? •: '•May th** day never com** a South Carolina when officer* tnlm .enguit -the whims of sentiment Wtore per- forming their dufy.x With strong law^ aroupd'. tlrose-' who gov- ertf. th* governed will have ample prot*Ktion.

But uttfl such a condition exists In South, Carolina, should we jrjr.it* instability in governmentdiy the recalkqf officers he*-ause they do somtysmall ad .which would please th" people' can be trusted, but pie trust those, whom they select as public officers?
