TtiB LAW'S DELAY.
We published an editorial a
fctmpje oftjeek^ ago under .the
above caption, and prayerfully
Awaited results. On Monday week
the civil court was opened, with
0}\()?e Earnest Gary presiding.
The lawyers engaged in the
6uils were none of them
ready. Absent witnesses, who
shbuld have been here, arid a lot
bf other fol do rol necessitated a
postponement. The Judge ap
]tea*-ed to tiave that tired feeling,
and adjourned court for the day.
fee,at the same time sharply ad
tnonished the lawyers that if they
' fold no business for the court on
the following morning, he would
adjourn it 6ine dib. They had
business, and plodded through
two cases from Tuesday morning
?antill Thursday evening when the
court was flualfy adjourned al
though there was two more work-,
ing days of the week. Why this
Adjournment? Why this squan
dering of the people's mouey i:i
Jhe payment of wituesses, jurors
und ifi othei- ways? This second
,week of court should have con
tinued a week, and not practical
ly .?hr<?e days. Trite, his HonOr
said that he wanted to be in Co
lumbia on Saturday hiorning,
but we fail to see what his wants
am} wishes had to do with the
hiatter. He is a public servant
Just as^ ?.iiy otlier paid official
*s a public servant. The people
of every county is entitled to his
best service, and personal con
siderations should not. weigh oue
iota against a sense of duty.
Wjthout personnl investigation,
*we havo been iulorincd that
there are bitsos on oul* civil doe
fret tha*> havo been passed
iljfough more tl.au twenty courts.
'This is a crying evil. There
phould be some law enacted
\vhich provides for the throwing

have not been brought, to trial
\vithin three veursof entry upon

appeal in cases that were fortu
nuto or unfortunate enough to
*each the trial stage, should be
finnly ruled out by the presid
ing judgpv .These two remedies
"would largeiy tend to relieve the
present congested condition of
the docket. It is not pleasant to
?us to make these strictures, but
\\c consider it a public duty.

Tho Kpsech delivered by Sena

said to be the first big gun of the

luips the thought lias not oc

one man in the state who can put
the committee on the right track
for results. His name is Bfenja
rnan Ryau Tillman. He has been
there, and while, as he tells yotf,
he was not corrupted, the Stench
of corruption was even then in
the air, arid the s<5ent is still
wftrrn en'ough for hiui to follow
down near enough to the foun

make it better known on the

TIIK St'IVTLivl ltUSS.
It will be remembered that
several weeks ago we remarked
editorially that we placed no
faith lathe sincerity 6f the Czar's
peace talk. We simply couldn't
trust the subtle Russ. Subse
quent events have amply justified
o'ur prediction. Ever since peace
was suggested. Marshall Oyama
lists maintained a sOmi quiescent
attitude, while every day that
passed has seen large reinforce
ments of men and war material
?
> to the Russian army on the Man
1 cliurian border. The roads, hills
and valleys arb now impassable
to an attacking Japaness force,
and when the weather permits,
General Linevich will have a
monster force of men, well of
ficered, thoroughly equipped
and burning to avenge the woun
ded honor of Russia. It i? need
less to say that this conflict once
on between these two magnifi
cent armies will be a titanic one,
full fraught with issue. Oil the
result of that, battle depends
either further hostilities for a
time, on liinevitcli being de
cisively beaten, Russia must
then sue for peace in earnest.
We have no conHdeuce in a suc
cessful conclusion to the delib
eration of the present peace
commission. The Czar has not
like the Mikado, vested his rep
resentatives with plenary powers
Ilerr Wit lee and his co-com
missioner, Baron Rosen, are only
authorized to say that, "our
master will agree only to this,
t hat or the other." Warm pleni
potentiaries, these. The van
quished dictating terms of peace
to the victors. It would be ludi
ci ous if il was not so .serious, but
serious it is, and murk it, that
ponce commission is going up in
smoke within a week after meet
ing. We can only feol this con
solation, that while Lineviteh
may be ami has been largely re
inforced, we think little Oyaina
lias not been idle.
