THE NEWS AND HERALD. WINNSBO1IO, S. C. zUESDAx, NOVEMBER 15, : 11887. E. B. RAGSDALB1 r o W.- L. MoDONALD. Pause and Inquire. Now that the anarchists have been convicted and executed, the peoplo of E Chicago, and of Illinois, had botter I pause to inquire what it is in the con dition of things around them, which 1 produces such a development as an archy. It will not be altogether safe t for them to rest in the conviction that l it is the result of a causeless inclination to wickedness; these people are driven into rebellion against the existing order of things by the hard grind of a life of toll that is without hope. The ranks of the anarchists are filled for the most part from the opera. tors in mines and factories, where competition, combinations, pools and other things have driven wages down to a bare subsistence; their struggle is a struggle against industrial slavery; that they have serious grievances is beyond all cavil. Terrible, indeed, must be the condition of things which drives men to preach or listen to a gospel of dynamite and murder. The anarchists demand a total aboli tion of the "wage system." .They ask to be allowed to share in the profits of their labor. Their grievances must be met in a spirit of fairness, and ad justed, repressive measures will only intensify the evil. Democratie Condue*. The election has made plain the course of Democratic conduct. There is now no doubt whatever as to the Presidential candidate. The President %vill be renominated, not only without opposition, but without serious dis sent. The only personal question Wvhich will occupy the attention of the party will be the selection of a Vice-Presi dential candidate. Considerations of locality will determine the choice. Some Western statesman will doubt less be chosen ta complete the ticket. The preliminary canvass is thus re lieved of those obstacles to party union which are usually found in the aspirations of prominent men, and in the rivalries of their friends and fbl lowers. We may hope then that the canvass, thus freed from personal dissensions, will be conducted upon a higher plano, and will be occupied with great public politics. Our duty as to measures is as plain as our chokue of the man. The federalj taxation mu8t be straighitway reduced.I No party, no government can long ondunro the strain put upon it by thie collection and disbursement of a greater revenue than is necessary. The collection of unnecessary taxes is an odions form of tyranny. It breeds popular discontent and de stroys that confidouce in the adminis tration of public affairs without which free institutions cannot be mnaintained1. -N. Y. SStar. JFor wVhat wecre They lning y It Is important that men shiould (d18 criminato and understand that the anarchists were hung not for free spec, o or any recognized truth of1 either law, religion or morals, but for 1 the worst form of murder and arson. True they may not, each and all, have intended their crimes, but when they conspired to (10 doub.tful, dangerousI and unlawful things, each and all] .stand or fall together.-COharlotic I Hlornet. . It may not require very cogent rea soning to convince the wvorld, already predisposed in that airection, that the fate which befell the anarchists was a < jLst 01ne, but the foregoing from our conteinporary is of more than doubt fiul authority from either a legal or logical standpoint. When the IIornet says that these men were executed for murder and arson, all right, this Is a substantive fact which if true, Is a complete Justi fication for the judgment anid execu. tioni of the law. Butt when the IIornet says that "they may not oeh and all have intended their crimes," it simply takes back ih the left hand the coin solation which it had offered with the 1 right. If they did not Intend mnurdler 1 or arsoni they were simply not guilty of murder or arson-to constitute either of these crimes there must be a specific intent and a specific act ; with out the combination or these tiwo elements there can be no such thing as c murder or arson. To consp)ire to (10 2 "doubtftil, daungerous or unlawful things" is not enough. To justify the execution of men for "conspiring to do" what the popular mind might think Y'doubtful, dangerous and uin lawtdi" is simply to fling away the t guarantees to free spepch. It was upon just such 6hargeg as this that il Socrates was murderod Jby his genera tion.] A Quecation for the Jury. -.' - t It is now the law in noarly all civil-t ized communitios that o,no charge4 with crime shall have the, right to tes tify in lis own defense. We believe tile provision to be a 'wise and just one. Moreover, it Is well settled by jpidi cial .decision that neithe'r abundance r of infamy nor deficiency of fajth can avail to defeat this.,right w~hhon I has to explain away, if he op.p,s~ny charge that is brought against him. I This construction .of the law we also beliee to ie require by..h nds. of, ustice. This being, therefore, law and gos ?ol, why should this same defendant, vhOn his testimony is needed to hang k murderer, oi' sustain the suit of his ighbor, be excluded from tho wit loss stand, ' because five or ten years )eforo he was convicted of petit lar ;ony, or expressed, perhaps, his dis out from the current theology? Why, ve ask, should the law be permitted to 'emain thus? To the answer that. it horld be continuedi because endorsed >y "the wisdom of ages," we intorpose demurrer. This ancient following las done duty long enough. When ,rial by battle was the law of the land here was not wanting sage counsellors, earned judges and venerable conser ratives to defend it on the ground that mr ancestors have bequeathed it to its is a rich legacy. But, really, this argument is out, of armony with the spirit of the age. -omo of our ancestors were smart men, )thers of them, perhaps, had no moi e ense than we havo, and, as it is not lesired that the next generation shall orpetuato all the errors that we sanc ion, so, neither, can it be expected :at we should be bound down to all ho nonsense that these old gentlemen hought to be the "perfection of liu man reason." Coming down to plain statement, then we insist that if the testiony of [ man is entitled to alny weight at all when he is testifying in his behalf, with the strongeat motives to avoid the truth, it is very illogical to ex,Ildo him when he occupics the position of disinterested witness. Considered in this light, it is at once seen that the penalty falls not upon the party cxcltt :led, but rather upon the due adminis tration orjustice. Again, we repeat, that all wit lasses w ho are offered should be heard -lack of Integrity and trustworthiness boing left to the jnry. OUR ESXCIi:Ahu"a: .(Sumter AdLvance.) Tillman in a specch recently declared ilmself a protectionist. A Bharnwell vounty farner in a letter to the News 1nd Courier, proposeed that Col. J. J. Dargan, of Sumter, be invited to imteet Tillmtan and discuss with him the Tar il' question at plublic tneetings. In reply, Col. Dargen hailts Consented to dio so, as will be seen by referenec to mother column. Col. Dargan is t ready, able and pleasant speaker, and fully able to co pe with ,Moses" on this subject. We are glad Col. Dargan has con 9ented to meet Tillman. Will Tillman consent to meet Dargan, in joint dis cussion? IfTillman and his followers have any of the Spirit of iirness, now La the time to show it. Aludi allcram p)artcm. ( Aikcn Journal and Ikvkw.)
