N -- TflpSD1\X',D CE au iiR 1, , e"iCS? . ~ W. L. Mof ON4L~D. T ., bill to abolish the auditor's ofoe: has been lost. IT Is thought that Blaine will bo the next Republican standard-bearor. A axia, has been Introduced in the Legislature to limit the profits which a merchant may make upon his goods, wares and merchandise. Verily the fool-kilior is getting behind with his work. M. GaavY, the President of the French Republic, it is thought, will be forced to resign on account of the misdeeds of his son-in-law. This is nearly as bad as holding a fellow re sponsible for his mother-in-law's mean ness. When the homestead law has been repealdd there will be no necessity for a lien law, and there will be none for some other things-such as foreign land mortgage companies with their long fees, discounts and other Shy locklan dodges. The law should be repealed and oredit placed upon a nor mal basis. TUa trial of Herr Moqt, t.he anarch ist, which is now pending in New York, is in some respects remarkable. His offenso is that he has talked too much, and a judge site gravely listen ing to witnesses testify as to whether the defendant commenced his address with "fellow-citizens" or "brother anarchists," and there is something more than a question of etiquette in volved in the inquiry for Herr Most. TH E Legislature ought to so amend the law, that hereafter no such mur derer as Jones, of Edgefleld, can be bailed, pending appeal from a convic tion for manslaughter. Such miscar riages of justice as we havo had in this caso are the fruitful causes of lynch law. Jones's crime was one of unparalleled atrocity; to contemplate him walking around in his unrighteous immunity from punishment is just about enough to make law-abiding in ao1naeo Icn1 monn. EVERYBODY emerges from the At lanta prohibition fight besmirched. The ladies of Atlanta cannot be saved. even by those "good intentions" which have been used to pave a warmer place than this. It is hoped that they have learned something. The editors of the Constitution, including the brilliant Henry W. Grady, arise from the dirty suffile looking, as mean as Esau must have looked after selling his birthright for a mess of pottage. Such is prohibition. UJnNtrity WVauted. Porter Wimby, the negro who was convicted at the lost term of Court of complicity in the Air Line robberies, was sentenced by Judge Aldrich to ten years in the penitentiary. Cald well, the only white man convicted of connection with the robberies, is now sentenced by Judge Pressley to two years' imprisonment. The evidence in both oases was substantially the same-Greenville Cor. NYews and This looks bad. It may bo assumed that the white man has enjoyed advan tages of education that have been altogether denied to the negro, and he is hence without oven the excuse which one naturally feels inclined to make for ignorance. If then any dif ference should have been made it would seem that it ought to have been -in the darkey's favor. But we have no idea that any discrimination "on account of race color or previous con of servitude" was intended. The fact is our Circuit Judges seem never to have agreed on any standard whatever by which to guide discretion in pass ing judgment on criminals. The whim of the moment controls, and consequently an indigestible broakfast or a drink of "mean whiskey" costs the jioor devil in the dock years of hard labor in the Penitentiary. It may not be so; the Judges ought to try and agree on some plan that would insure at least a measure of uniformity. In stead of studying up political harangues for the grand juries they might with more profit be attending to their legiti mate business. Our Eduentlonal System. Gen. Bratton ha an able and charac - teristic article in the News and Courier of the 29th, on our educational system. The subject is thoroughly and system atically reviewed; the origin and growth of our present system of high er education is exhaustively traced, and its advantages carefully set forth. Goe Bratton opposes the proposition to tear up this system or to abandon it, and deplores the tendency now plain ly manifest in certain quarters to ar i&y class against class in noodless hos tility.. Speaking of the new syste;n of edu cation which is no,w urged thpon the people with sueh impatIi) pertengoi tv, and comparing it wi hl~to sy'.>rn which we have,.Geon.

In 'tto establi hmentof the othex its power is at best questionable. It smaoks of usurpation, of assuniption, of control of the private affairs of its citizens. If the State has the right to aid .n indi vidual in.the prosecution of his private affairs she cannot be denied the right to meddle with his affirs to his detri mont. The fact that he is one of a large class of our .citizens does not affect the principles involved or the proposition. At any rate, it necessi tates class legislation which never has been, and never can be other than un. just and detrimental. In the one, per sonal, local and class sentiments and prejudices are brought tnto close con tac and Intimate communication, and by an easy and natural attrition their sharp angles and rugosities are ground to the smoothness of mutual toleration and consideration which tends to pro. mote that harmony between the sec tions and classes of the State whioh avoids conflict and renders practicable a fair and amicable ad ustment of po litical interests and a just distribution of political power. In the other, olass prejudice iq fostered, cultivated and educated class greed stimulated, to be followed as naturally as water runs down hill, by class strife and conton tion. If continued and perpetuated by a system of separate, special class education the the inevitable results would be the practical destruction of our lawful adjustment of political interest and power, which is the fair est and most just ever attained by humat effort. The article is a long and able one. It deals In a calm and dispassionate way, with a now muchi vexed ques tion. It Is well worth a careful perusal. -FORil RAGRAN1. LBoANNOE and DU * McMASTB11, BRIOJEg KETOJIN. OUR EXCHA4GE. (Greenville Uarouatan.) Mr. Samuel F. Nicely_ of Pendle ton, a flagman of the 'Blue Ridge freight, was knocked from the top of his train by a projecting water tank pipe at Six-and-Twenty on last Satur day morning and death immediately ensued. Mr. Nicely was attempting to adjust the brakes for a slowing up of his train to cross the trestle imme diately In front of him, when he was violently struck by the monster pipe and .hurled between the rolling cars. His body was mangled almost beyond recognition. Tio pipe had not boen 1)ulld up as high as it should have been, hence the fearful accident. He was a brother to Engineer B. F. Nicely, of the Columbia & Greenville road. A colored brakeman was thrown from the front car of a freight train while shifting at Groenwood on last Friday night, and was killed outright. Ho fell noross the track and derailed the Lengine-tender, to such an extent that It took them hiours to replace it. He resided at Pledmopt, but his nm could not be ascertained,. am T1. U. McCiary, of Kingston, a flag man for Conductor E. 1~~ba.of the Spartanburg, Union & .imbaRieil road, stepped from Shelton trestle on Thursday night and precipitated him self a distance of forty feet. lie was a new man anud quite unfamiliar with the road, and when the train stopped at Shelton for water he thought It his duty to go back with his 1nags. In making hie 'exit from the train he stepped off the trestle and was seri ously if not fitally hurt. (Qharleston Sun.)
