Charleston's "Gala Week" was quite a success. Everybody who went enjoyed himself. The reports of the festivities of the week in the News and Courier were full and com plete. It has been published extensively that Governor Gordon and Gen. Morgan kissed each other square in " the mouth during the recent visit of Gov. Gordon to Ohio. Gov. Gordon since his return home denies the kissing. But suppose he did, we see no use making such a fuss over it. There is no disputing about tastes, you know. We see it stated that Mr. Tillman has made the charge that certain lawyer members of the Legislature accepted fees last December to pass bills. Mr. Tillman should furnish the names and make good his charge, or else withdraw it. Bribery of a leg islator is a serious charge, and should not be loosely or carelessly made. The condemned Anarchists in Chi cago are to be executed to-morrow, unless they are pardoned by the Governor of Illinois. We have never believed they would be hanged, a] though there is little doubt of their guilt. We haven't much use for a population as they are in this coun try We don't believe in just blow ing up people indiscriminately, as is their doctrine. LIFE TENURE. Yes, we have advocated, and we still believe in life tenure for Judges, but there should be a provision in such a law to retire Judges after they had served out their usefulness and become too old and feeble, phys ically, to discharge the business of the Courts without unnecessary de lay. We believe in life tenure because we want to see our Judges placed -above the necessity of any political lobbying in order to retain their po sitions, and where they will not be under any political obligations to any man or set of men in order to retain their positions, but where their ten ure of office will depend upon their fitness for the place and a faithful discharge of the duties incident to the offce. When they become too old or too feeble to disc.arge the duties of the offce any longer, let them be retired, not on full pay, but with a reasona ble competency for the remainder of their life. We do not believe in working a man until you have gotten all the good out of him and then throwing him a side as you would an old piece of machinery. Bossism. We publish on our first page this week an excellent article on the subject of bossism and its effects on P a party. A boss in the sense of a leader is a good thing, but too much bossism will ruin anything. We think there is a little too much of the spirit of bossim in certain of the movements in this Stat.,. We like to see all issues and questions of public import discussed in a fair, manly and dignified manner, and in the spirit that is willing to hear both sides of the question. A good cause cannot suffer by such a course, but on the contrary will be advanced, and a weak cause will be placed in such a light that its weakness will be the more apparent. The people, or the great majority of them, are able to form opinions of their own, and arrive at conclu sions. They want public questions discussed, but they do not need to much bossing. The great mass of the people will not be led about like dumb animals. Let the bosses re member this. A good and great leader is necessary to keeper together any party and to carry to a success ful termination a great cause,but the spirit of bossism can never do it. Bossism will never reach any great degree of success with us. REFORMS. We read a great deal in many of our cotemporaries about reforms. It is very nice to write about retrench ment and reform, and it is very easy to generalize and talk about the beauties of reform and the great benefit to be derived from needed reforms in our governmerd and its administration. What we want some of these reformers to do is to file a bill of particulars and let the people1 know wherein these reforms can be made. Our cotermporary, the Colum bia Register, in a recent issue, has an editorial on needed reforms, but it only says reforms are needed with out telling us how these reforms are to be made. For instance, it says: "We hold that the Trial Justice sys tem is eminently~ defective in its operation. Reform that." Yes, re form it. But what we desire to know, and what the people would like to know is, how and wherein is it defective ' Point out its deficien cies. We do not pretend to say that it is not defective. But wherein? Give us something better or improve this system before you tear it down, it seems to us is the better plan. Again, our cotemporary says, "We hold that our entire county system of government is too cumbersome and is unnecessarily expensive. Re form that. We hold that the court or legal charges, especially in the of fice of Master in Equity, are exces sive-and that the fees and costs in winding up estates, large and small, are extravagant. Reform that." If our county system is too cumbersome and extravagant how will you make it less so? We do not pretend to say that it is not. What we want is a better plan-a less cumbersome one -a less expensive one--before we undertake to destroy the one we have.' Again, our cotemporary says, "As to the Railroad Commissioners, we hold that all but one might be dis pensed with. Reform that." Now you come at it. We understand that. If we were going to reform the rail road commission, however, we would dispense with three. As to the salary question, our co temporary thinks.the salaries of State officers low enough-and does not want them reduced. We agree that if there are any evils they can and ought to be remedied within the par ty. Our cotemporary sums up as follows: "Hence to sum up. Reform our county system-our court charges our Trial Justice system-our num ber of Railroad Commissioners. But leave the salary question as it is." Some of the would-be reformers undertake to abuse our present offi cials, and to impugn their motives, and defame their characters. This mode of procedure will never accom plish much for genuine reform in any particular. Nothing can be gained, no cause can be advanced by abuse and vituperation. There are evils; none will at empt to deny this. No system of government is perfect. How and where these evils can best be remedied is what the people and the friends of the State and of society want to know, and few will refuse to lend a helping hand to rem edy the eviL It is easy to criticize and find fault and condemn, and we should be careful how we do this,un less we have a remedy to offer. Burned to Death. CHATTANOOGA, November 5.-Miss Annie Deadrick, the great-gra ndaughter of James W. Deadrick, late Chief Jus tice of Tennessee, was burned to death esterday afternoon at Jonesboro,Tennl. erather was burning leaves oil of a lot near the house when her clothes aught tire and were entirely burned from her body. She suffered excruci ating'pain for three hours, when death relieved her of her terrible sutlering. It 31akes Him Laugh. Edgefidd Chronicle. Judge Presslev was to have held Court in Abbeville last week, but was so sick he could do. nothing. He is still lying ill there. It will be remembered that a year or more ago in our own Court, Judge Pressley declined to try Jones, the triple murderer, beeause Jones's counsel twitted him with probably being kin to old Edward Pressley, because he looked so much like himn. We are sorry that Judge Pres-ley is Siek ;but ever since that memorab!e judicial perform ance, we have thn-:t he ouight to re sign. "Must be kin to old Edward Presslev because he looked so much like him." We did not langh -then ; but every time we think of it now, we feel like~rending our frail ribs asunder. Stanley Still Surviving. LONN, November 5.-Advices from St-. Paul De Loanda state that news has been received there from Henry M.

CHICAGO, November G.-The cells o he seven condemned Anarchists in th xounty jail were searched to-day, an ix loaded bombs were found hiddet tway in a wooden box. which was con 3ealed under a pile of newspapers in :orner. Some time ago Sheriff Matson decid. :o search and clean out the cells of thi seven Anarchist prisoners, and to-d:t vas set for the examination. Word wa sent by the sheriff to the friends of th yondemned that no adtwittance would b tiven to the jail, and this morning th ntire force of deputy Aheritfs reporte t the jail for dutj. It was shortly after 9.30 o'clock whe [.ingg and Engel were led from thei :ells to the consultation cage and th search began. Engel's cell was the firs untered and thoroughly examined. Th bed and bedding were looked ovcr,crack in the walls and the table thoroughl explored, and clothing hanging aroun the cells searched, but beyond a fev empty cigar boxes, some fruit, book and papers, nothing was found. Ten the deputy sheriffs 6:tere Lingg's cell, while its former occupatt planted himself in a corner of his ten porary prison and watched them wit eager eyes. He was pale as death an trembled like an aspen leaf as the searci ers moved around in the little ston walled room. Suddenly two of th three men inside jumped out to the cot ridor, while the third man held at armn length a small wooden box, which h carefully carried to the jail office an laid on Jailer Folz's desk. The bo contained four pieces of gas pipe, eae about six or seven inches in lengtl tilled with some heavy substance, an plngged at both ends. Jailer Folz piel ed up one, which was closed at one en with a round iron stopper, and one u the officers pronounced it a veritab1 dynamite bonb. Just then Sheriff Ma son arrived at the jail and ordered th: the dangerous weapons be replaced in box and sent to a ct emist for an anlal: sis, although there was no doubt as 1 the result of the examination. 'the the search was continued, but beyond quantity of rubbish nothing was foun Then the cells of Fischer, Parson Spies, Schwab and Fielden were -earcl ed in the order named, but no contr. band articles of any kind were founm It was decided, however, that it was be: to change the prisoners' cells. All the prisoners except Lingg subtni ted to the change and search withoc displaying the slightest emotion. Liny seemed much worried when he was to] of what was contemplated, and showe so plainly that sometting was w%ron that the jailers were not so greatly su prised as they might have been over ti dicovery subsequently made. THE SHERIFF'S STORY. Sheriff Matson was seen on the sul ject during the afternoon. He was ver reticent at tirst, but after consideratio made a clean breast of the whole atiti We had no reason," he said, "to nia the search at this particular time, that in we received no intimation that anythxin was wrong. It was merely a precat tionary measure decided on some tim ago by Jailer Folz and myself. We s lected Sunday as a quiet day, when tL examination wotld make less disturt ance than if it were made on a wee day. For some timte thtete was so muc of this amnesty business going on that did not care to ittterfere witht thte goo citizens who were interested in the cot demned men, or to place any obstaclei their way. But we felt as though tlt time had come to take extra preca:tion: and so decided to clean the cells onu Of course, in view of the development of the search, the strongest precautior ary measures will now be taken. Tlb prisoners will not be allowed to exe: ese as much as formerly, and the nun ber of visitors will be restricted. N one will be allowed to visit any of th condemned in the cage, and if any inte: views are granted it will be only to ne:i relatives, and in the presence of jail o: ficials. I won't say that every visitc will be searched, but there will be n opportunity for any exchange of an3 thing whatever between the prisonem and outsiders. As for Lingg, I don' know that lie will be allowed to see an one, but have not yet fully decided o that point. Henceforth no baskets c victuals or fruit will be allowed to b sent from any of the prisoners' friend to them, and no letters or dispatche will be received or sent until they ar examined by a jail official." The prisoners took the change c quarters quite as a matter of course an r ead, wrote and smoked as though notli ing unusual was going on. News of th inding of the bomtbs spread like wilt tire. A universal reaction of the amnei t sentiment was immedliately apparen nundreds of citizens who had signed th petition for elemency regretted their at tion and wished they had never append ed their names to tbe paper.

Th word "bombs" recalled to them tht scenes at the Haymarket and there wa but one expression of comment on th subject. One lieutenant sarcastically re marked: "Well, they ought to pardot Lingg anyway." The general opinio1 iround the police stat ion wars t hat what aver might be the farte of the others Lingg's doom was sealed, and he woult [ave to go to the gallows. It is doubt ul if the condemned will be locnger al owed to enjoy the privilege of readi. :he daily papers.

From the number of tickets already cit 0 sold and the number of e:iages and car 11 buggies engaged beforehand, it is pre- ing a sumed that the crowd would have been set L a large one. Th , It is a well known fact that the direc- De I- tors of the Charleston Base Ball Club tio t- are opposed to playing ball on Sunday, pa: L. and it is also a fact, although not so gen- tor t erally known perhapz, that they will not era take part in the sport next season un- en less Sunday ball playing is prohibited ] it by the Southern League. There is also -( g a city ordinance which says that "no res d1 sports, pastimes, public exercises, exhi- H d bitions or gaines wh,atsoever shall be al- Vi g lowed on the Lord's Day, and every per- wi son so oteudiiug shall forfeit for every ma e such offence a sum not exceeding $20." by In view of these conditions and the r fact that this was the first issue that had ne been made in regard to professional ball oci ) playing here on Sunday, there was nat- l< Y urally a good deal of curiosity to see an( n what would come of it. Shortly after 2 Ma o'clock yesterday afternoon, however, nig C Chief of Police Golden repaired to the De Charleston Hotel and informed Mr ho M lunson that his men would be arrested col if they attempted to play ball on Sun- ma e dar. cra Ir. Munson disclaimed any intention wi e of playing agains; the law, and prompt- jor ly declared the game off, while the mon k ey wvas refunded for all tickets already 3 b sold. Re I The announcement in the Sunday d News that it was intended to play a gamie aee Sof base ball on Sunday in Charleston Scaused a considerable sensation, and ex C cited deep indignation on the part of the by 4 citizens in general.
