The Virginia Oase.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided the Virginia
habeas corpus cases. They have
given the Constitution another blow
and opened a now field for the talents
of the demagogu?. Here again is a
judicial decision involving the gravest
of errors. It is second to no folly in
the constitutional history of this coun
try, not even to thv nullification laws
of the South Carolina Legislature of
1882.
With 'the plain provision of the
Constitution before it, "that no State
shall pass any law impairihg the obli
gation of contracts," the Court yet
decided that a State can pass such an
Act. The Court demonstrated noth
ing in this opinion other than the fact
of its own inability to draw the obvi
ous destruction between a suit against
a State to force it to do some positive
act and an order enjoining its officers
from proceeding to enforce a void
statute . The opinion is an ill-jointed
tissue of shallow sophistries. The
reasoning of the Court is after the
manner of the schoolmon.
The rights of the States, the right of
local self-government, the constitu
tipual liberties of the people of this
country can never be endangered by
denying to the States, as the Federal
Constitution does, the right to repudi
ate their contracts, It is only when
this Constitution is ignored, as this
misguided Court has ignored it, that
the officers of a Stat cannot be
cijoined from enforcing a plainly 'vokf
statute, because a Stato cannot be
sued, is enough to make the bones of
Chief Justice Marshall rattle in their
tomb.
Prohaibition.
"The.notion," says Mr. .T. S. Mill,
"that it is the duty of one man to
look after the moral conduct of an
other, has been the fruitful cause of
nine-tenths of all the misery that man
kind have experienced."
Tis "notion," which so impressed
itself upon the mind of the brilliant
English philosopher, is still dominant.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has just decided that a State
has the right to prohibit the manufac
ture of liquor withini its territory.
The decision even goos to the length,
that a citizen may he prohibited from
making it for his own personal use.
It is simply impossible to over-esti
mate the amount of judicial heresy
that is put forth in this dccrce.
"The right," says the Court, "to
determine what was injurious had to
exist somewhere, and the right of de
termining what measures woro,neces
sary for the preservation of the public
morals, health and safety, had, there
fore, been vested in the States by the
constitutional right given them under
the police power to regulate their own
concerns."
Starting with a bold assumption, the
Court found its way to an infamous
conclusion-"foois venture where
angels fear to treadi." It is impossible
to explain how a Court, trained in the
traditions of the English-speaking
race, and in the learning of the Con
stitution, which this tribunal dared to
quote, could have put forth such doc
trine as this. It is enough to say, in
conclusIon, that it was in- the exercise
of the supposed right to "preserve the
public morals and safety" that the
"intolerant despot of Gceva" sent
Servetus to the slake.
Locnl Taxation Once More.
The dangers to be feared from local
taxation are manifold:
The majority of men in this world
are idle,- improvident hangers-on.
Individually, they are equal to the
minority, -in. probably but two par
ticulars--the space which Ihey occupy
and the right which they have or will
have to exercise the electoral fran
chise.
It is the numerically small minority
wh9 vo borne the brunt of civiliza
tii s battle; they have carm'led her'ban
* tners over land and sea; every achieve
ment of sdial and industrial life is the
result *of tihpir eforts. Everything
has been accomptished by theo free'
play ot the ni t~al faculties of moti,
undor ihe stfhiI s of self-interest.
They have gone fward in the onr
solousnesps.that yjiey would po pro
tected by th6tkw in the ful*erdoyment
of the fruite' of theit latfo.r, and be
* ~Allowed to t,.Ansmi t 1tt naot...
te0ity. And this is the constitution of
coolety whilh alone can call forth the
nri ttnumcapaoltiet of the race.
,The assumton. that' the.majority of
nono will continue to be idle and itm
.proVident.is a safe one; an4 the pro
position that the day is combgg when
the political rights of all men will be
fully asserted at the polls, even here,
will not be serlotsly controverted.
What then will become of the tight of
property? To what- lengths. will a
victorious but impecunious Democracy
not go? Will the progress of oiviliza
tion be able to survive the wisdom of
a "township mob?" Let the advo
cates of "local taxation" answer.
For our part we are firmly per
suaded that the precedent being estab
lished, Inch by inch, the principle will
be extended; stop by step they will
trench upon the right of property; one
by one they will pile the burdens of
life upon the shoulders of the minori
ty until the latter, harassed at every
step, will realize at last that the strng
gle is all in vain. On that day, when
socialism by means of "local taxation"
shall have achieved its infamous alms,
industry will fold its arms in disap
pointment and sit down by the way
side, and frugality will fling away the
scraps.

Oar Legislators and Economy.
(Abbeville Medium.)
Some of our legislators seem to be
of the opinion that they must always
be harping on expenses and reform.
If these wise acres would only con
sider for a moment, they would soon
see that the time they consume in ad
vocating visonary measures of reform,
costs the State threefolds as much as
the proposed reform. For instance,
we see that a Senator has introduced a
bill to abolish the office of Master and
devolve the duties of said Master on
the Judge of Probate. We would be
very much obliged if the advocate of
this measure would point out to its
one single good that would be accom
plished by such a change. It would
make the office of Probate Judge a
very fat one, but wherein is ehe econ
omy? When a man undertakes to re
form, he should know what reform
really means. Then again there are
other matters to be considered besides
the saying of a few dollars. The com.
bination of these two offices would
create a manned-woman's contract
law. We hope to see all such meas
ures as the one referred to killed as
soon as possible and the people's
money saved. Some politicians seem
to think that their popularity rests
with the cry of reform and the intro
duction of useless bills purporting to
be reform measures, but which really
are more catch pennies to blind the
publio. We do not .ay this of the
Senator wh intrsdte the Probate
reform hiliR that' cos ney ad a6a
complishi I1h good.
