TH. HOUSE. , Proprietors. ELBERT H. AULL, EDrroa. A CLEAN SWEEP. We confess to some little surprise at the result of the election for judges held by the Legislature last Friday. There was a time in South Carolina when experience, learning in the law, and some degree of ability were considered indispensable qualifications for the po sition of a judge. In these strange times which are now upon us, it would seem that these qual ifications are no longer not essential, but are not even considered. The main consideration now seems to be whether or not the aspirant is a true and faithful reformer, and whether or not he can be counted on to decide questions of law in accordance with the ideas of modern reform. We say we confess so some sur prise at the result. We rather ex pected to see Judge McGowan retired, not because he was in any way ineffi cient, or had in any manner been un true to his State, or had in any sense been a partisan, or messed at all with political questions, but some time ago his health had not been good and thb: fact could be used as an excuse, and then, too, there were reformers who wanted his place. Judge Hudson, though one of the best lawyers in the State, and one of the ablest judges, had not, on account of some of his decisions, been agreeable to Gov. Tillman for some time, and did not measure up to the Governor's ideas of what should constitute a judge, and so we were not surprised that he was left out, though we did think they would be able to find a man for his successor who had some reputation as a lawyer. We did expect to see Judge Wallace i e-elected. He has the ability, the legal learning, and his last decision in the dispensary case was directly the opposite of the opinion announced by Judge Hudson, but we suppose, as he was considered not in political sympa thy with the dominant element his head must go too. Judge Iziar was un objectionable so far as we know, except that Mr. W. C. Benet must be paid for certain services performed. The great est surprise is that amidst the great slaughter Judge Witherspoon was not molested. A great many persons, strong among the Tillmanites, have been heard to de plore the fact that Judge Wallace has been left out. We can only say that' yor deed not be surprised at anything that is done in these times in the name of reform. The gentlemen who have been elected are pretty good fellows so far as we know, but none of them have been considered profound lawyers. But it will all come out right yet. We must only wait and be patient. Such revo lutions as we are now going through always reach their end. If the peoplc can stand it, we think we can, as a very small part of them, stand it also. It is to be regretted when politics takes charge of the judiciary, and men are elected to hold the scales of justice on account purely of party or factional service. The bench should be as free from politics as it is possible to have it. The liberties of a people are not safe under such conditions. The Herald and News advocated some years ago a change in our law so that judges would be elected for life or during good behavior, our purpose then being to have the judiciary as for removed as p,ossible from the contaminating in fiuences of politics. Only a short time ago we expressed the hope that political considerations would not enter as a factor in the elec tion of judges, but that men would be selected for these exalted positions by virtue of their ability and character, their learning and fitness for the posi tion. The men who have been deposed possessed these qualifications and sin addition several years of experienc, on the bench. The new men are untried and at least have not the experience. But we still have faith in the people and the end will come after awhile and things will be properly adjusted. Still we cannot but regret that politi cal considerations should have been the moving cause in retiring good and truae men. The new men are all young and we have no doubt will do their duty as they see and know it. Shall we consider it a compliment or a reflection on the first and fourth cir cuits that not a reform lawyer could be found in all their bounds who could be elected to the bench? We believe in the fourth circuit C. P. Townsend received seven votes. He is a reformer, but during the dark days of reconstruction he was a Republican Judge. There is nothing unconstitutional in trans planting legal lore from one part of the State to another, nor is it contrary to law to go out of the circuit to select a judge for that curcuit, but it has not been enstomary, except during the days of reconstruction. Bu t these are strange times, truly. Last week we sent alt our readers a copy of the Governor's message in sup plement form. By an accident we still have an extra thousand on hand. If any one did not receive a copy of the message or shouid want an extra copy we can readily supply the demand. The new Judges will begin to draw their pay from the dates following. The t erms of t be present judges expire as follows: Associate Justice McGowan, July 29,1894; Judge Wallace, Decem.ber 15, 1893; Judge Aldrich, Fubruary 16, 1894; Judge Hudson, February 14,13894; Judge Witherspoon, February 15, 1S94; Judge Izlar, February 16, 1894. Suppose the Legislature takes away the charters from the railroads and the railroads stop running, who will be the greatest sufferers? How would the people manage with out railroads? What the Legislature needs most to! do is to put all property on the tax books at such a valuation that the bur dens of taxation will fail equitably onJ all classes of property arA not have one class assessed higher thati ancether. THE ITALIAN MISSION. Mr. J. J. Van Alen, who was ap pointed some time ago to be minister to Italy, and about whom so much was said of buying his office because he contributed liberally to the campaign fund, has sent a long letter to President Cleveland resigning the appointment. This no doubt will raise Mr. Alen i the opinion of a great many people. We heard long before the appoint meut was made that if Mr. Alen did not receive it that the President was very favorably impressed with Mr. J. F. J. Caldwell, of Newberry, who was also applying for this place. There is no question of Mr. Caldwell's qualifications and ability to fill such a position. South Carolina so far has received nothing, and we think it is about time Mr. Cleveland was giving some little consideration to our end of the line. Then it should be remembered that Mr. Caldwell is fortunate in hav ing the endorsement of both factions in our political divisions in South Caro lina. Mr. Caldwell is familiar with the Italian language, a good English and classical scholar, has traveled abroad and spent quite a while in Italy, and is in every way fitted for the duties and responsibilities of minister to Italy. It would be a handsome thing for Mr. Cleveland to give this appointment to Soutfi Carolina and he could scarcely more worthily bestow it than by ap pointing Mr. J. F. J. Caldwell, of New berry. The Legislature has been in session for a week now, and with two holidays has accomplished a good deal. The most important thing is the election of Judges, a full account of which wegive on the first page. Gov. Tillman asks the Legislature to t give him more power. How would it do to take the suggestion of Mr. Hughey in the Press and Reporter a short time ago and make him Governor for life, and- abolish the Legis"ire? Mr. Hughey assures us in that event the Dispensary would flourish, blind tigers would die, and we would have 3566 Sun- I days in every year. It looks now as if there was really going to be a bill passed reducing sala ries. The total saving estimated under the bill is about $40,000. Just think e what a big item could have been saved if such a bill had been passed at the be ginning of this reform administration, i three years ago. The calculation is an easy one. Four years would have amounted to $160, 000. But then, as we stated some time ago, it is always the other fellow who is getting too big a salary. Most of the present officers know that their time is out and they are willing now to reduce t salaries. Hon. Geo. S. Mower voted for Jus tice McGowan, Representative Blease for Mr. Ira B. Jones, and Representa tive Duncan for Mr. E. B. Gary for As sociate Justice. So none of them can complain of their treatment by the Newberry delegation. They all had a fair show. Mr. Hardy was absent and did not vote. Governor Tillman in his message suggests that in cases for violation of the Dispensary law the offender be tried without a jury and argues that such a proceeding would be in accord with the constitution. The constitution is in words follow ing : "The right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate." Can it be a good law when such "drastic measures" have to be suggested for its enforcement ? Whitmnire Gleanings. Christmas is coming. Our merchants are getting in oranges, banannas and other fruits. Mrs. Julia Mathews has been to Au gusta. Rev. S. T. Blackman has gone to Sumter to attend the South Carolina Conference which convenes the 6th in stant. Capt. Thorpe, who has been engaged in the insurance business in Texas for some time has returned to South Caro lina. Miss Lucy Elmnore, of Prosperity, who has been visiting relatives in the community, has returned home. We had a heavy wind Sunday a fter noon, accompanied by torrents of rain -something like a hurricane and water spout combined. No damage has yet been reported. We think, judging from ths present indications, that er'e the new year is. ushered upon us, we will be able to chronicle two or three or more mair riages. It is said that mortality is less in married men than single; so get married, young mcen, get miarried!

When They Put on the Ermine. LThe State.1 Only one of the old judges will have many days of grace. The others will have to discard their judicial ermine in short order. Justiee McGowan has stIll some months to serve the 8tate, his term not expiring until the 29th of July of next year. The only change that will be made this year will be in the case of Judge~ Walace, whose term expires on the 15th inst., at which time Judge-elect; Townsend will be installed in his! place. The terms of the other judges ex pire as follows: Judge Aldrich, Feb ruary 16, 1894; Judge Hudson, Febru ary 14, 1894: J'bdge Wit berspoon, Feb ruary 15, 1S94; Judge lzlar, February 16, 1894.
