The Oriminal Law Reform Bllt.
The notion that there are any very
serious "defects" in our criminal law
is one upon which there is a decided
difference of opinion among those besl
capable of forming an opinion i n th
premises, and the accompanying be
llet that criminals do sometimes avoid
a trial upon the merits of their casoi
by reason of any intricate technicali
ties of criminal procedure, .Is al
groundless as the faith of the Turk.
Prior to the adoption of the Consti.
tution of 1868, when the common law
doctrine of jeopardy prevailed in thh
State, it was possible, and criminae
did actually sometimes escape by
means of technical advantages seized
and utilized by the superior genius of
their counsel, but that Constitution
swept away the law of jeopardy and
rendered the final acquittal of the
accused, otherwiso than upon the
merits of his caso, an absolute impos.
sibility. The Constitution simply pro.
vided that nothing but an acquittal by
a petit jury should be available as a
plea in bar to a subsequent prosecu
tion for the same offence-by this pro.
vision the technical learning of centn
rics was swept away.,
There is but little left for the re
former's knife; the indictment may
be stripped of some needless verbiage,
but its essential features can never be
touched; it must always fully, fairly
and formally set forth the offence wvithi
with which the accused is charged.
Thie m,idod Ie ItuUif a constittitlonal
guarantee of individual liberty as old
as magna charta. To attempt to re
peal it is to smite the hand that has
preserved us.
A 11111 that Ought te Pass.
"lie it enacted by the Senate and
IIouse of Representatives of the State
of South Carolina, now met and sit
ting in General Assembly and by the
authority of the same, That no per
son comp,Os mentis who is ofrered as a
witness in any of the Courts of this
State shall be denied the right to tes
tify for any cause whatever: Po
vidied, That any objection that may
now be offered to the competency of
any witness may still be made against
his credibility."
WVe propose this bill, and wve want
the Legislature to pass it with all con
venient speed. We want it done at
once, because its importance is co-ex
tensive with all interests that may be
judicially endangered..
The law which guarantees to the
citizen his rights may be never so per
fect, but when these rights have been
violated, if witnesses are not forth
comhing to prove thefact, the law is a
dead letter, the ill of the legisla
tor unheeded, his penalties uimposed.
What reason is there for the law that
deprives the outraged citizen- of the
testimony of any man who knows of
his grievance and who has perhaps no
motive whatever to falsify the facts?
What reason is there for theolaw that
turns loose a murderer upon the com-.
munity because the only witness to
prove his crime, or perhaps the only
material witness, once stole a stray
quarter?
What reason is there for the law that
admits the convicted thief to testify in
his own behalf when lie is again in
dlicted and denies to the State in all
cases the benefit of his testimony ?
We answer that there is none. There.
is nothing for it but authority, and he
who follows simply because authority
leads is certainly on the hlghway.to
intellectual death. Let all sources of
information be made available in the
court of justice, and the trouble and
disgraee of many a lynching will bei
avoided.
"The Judge of the Oldo4 time fear
ing perjury, but trusting in God, sent
the litigants to battle, and determined
their riglits by the victory or van
quishment of the one or the other; the

with less trust, relying neither on him

White House ite
There is no reason wby a Presidont
should live any differently from ot er
people, 8ay a Washingten speoial,, but
It is none the loss natural the general
ublic should be curious about every
etail of the day's routine at the White
ouse. A reporter of the Washing
ton Critic has undertaken to meet this
curiosity by gathering some interest.
lig facts about the Whito House daily
menu. He reports some amusing
fact., among thorn the singular oir
ounstance that the dinner is generally
made up of sfz courses, but does not
take more than an hour. Of break
fast he says that it Is served at the
White House at nino o'clock on week
days and a half hour later on Sundays.
It Is a big meal with the President and
a hearty fbundation for the day. Geu.
orally the menu covers a half dozen
dishes.
Luncheon Is served promptly at
1.80, and if there ts a quest, at two
o'clock. It is a midday meal to all
intents and purposes, but little time is
wasted in its discussion. The tseiu
one day lately, a fair sample of the
average, was a pair of pheasants,
sweetbreads, Saratoga chips, cold ham,
chocolate cake and cream, and milk
and tea.
Dinner is usually served in about
six courses, with all the accompaui
ments of flowers and lighted candles.
The President drinks *no at dinner
but very sparingly. Mrs. Clovelanc
does not touch a drop stronger thanl
apollinaris at table.
Mrs. Cleveland Is reported as having
some cld fashioned unations aboul
Sunday, wanting the servants' work
for that day lossened as much as pos
sible. She always has a cold luncl
and has It served up in the quickes
and simplest way, so that the servanti
can have a long afternoon and even

on Sundays at Oak View. All sum

(UCharlotte (Thronicle.)
It is thought the coming winter will
be one of unusual iuterest in Wash.
ington. The Congressional session
will be long and busy, the social
season long and brilliant. The eve of
a Presidential campaign is always a
lively winter in a social way .there.
There another consideration in favor
of Ithe long session of the now Con
gross, is that it wvili be a leap year
when the official season opens. The
fact that furnished private residences
in Washington are quoted as high as
$1,000 per month, proves that these
things are appreciated by those out
side, as well as the high esteem in
which the city is held as a winter
resort.
F'acts About Liberia.
Charles ii. J. Taylor~, minister of
the United States to LIheria, has ten
dered his resignation to take efret in
January inext. lie is now in Wash
ington on a leave or absence. One
reason for his resignation, he said,
wvas,the dangerously unhealthy climate.
Hie had also 1)00n disappointed in the
charactre of civilized negroes sent over
there. lHe said: "Inistead of the
majority of the civilized negroes being
hionest, sober, industrious and self
reliant, I found a condition of things
that diplomatic reserve will not allow
me to.describe. Native Africans are
superier in every way to the civilized
negroes soot there, and are suscepti
ble of the very highest civilization.,
"The country,'' he ftbrther said, "is a
rich one, abounding in grains, timber
and minerals, but the condition of
things is such that no wideawake man
would care to live there longer thani
two weeks."
