WADDY THOMPSON, Editor. Thnrsday, Dec, 7,1893. THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. Governor Tillman’s message is a remarkable document and was read with considerable in terest throughout the State. Of course with our limited space it is impossible to discuss the mes sage at length. But we should not fail to note that the Govern or is very angry. He shows this by the bitter attack he makes upon the railroads and the United States Court. He is disappointed, too, because he cannot make for the dispensary the good showing he expected. Intemperate abuse of the rail- oads and the federal.court and labored defence of the dispen sary cover almost the entire message. Little else is discuss ed. The railroads have thwarted the Governor in his efforts to assume unwarranted power and in this they have been aided by the federal court, hence his venom. In his abuse of the court he may please some of his followers, but it is unfair that he should cloud the real ques tions at issue by inciting the prejudices of the people. It is not a manly course and is very undignified and unworthy in a Governor. Besides it is ex tremely foolish. The Governor can have things pretty much his own way in South Carolina, but he cannot manage the whole country, the United States Court included. When he at tacks that tribunal, it is like butting his head against a wall. The extreme remedy he sug gests to make the railroads obey his dictates is impracticable, and, even if it oould be accom plished, it would bring untold litigation and expense upon the State. His attempt to defend the dis pensary would be amusing were it not that the interests of the people are seriously involved in the question. He has the im possidle task of proving that a large increase in the liquor rev enue is concomitant with a de crease of drunkenness. For the revenue to be large the con sumption of liquor must neces sarily be large and at every step in the Governor’s argument this truth stares him in the face. He cannot get around it. Fur thermore the Governor virtual ly admits thakttfe dispensary is not a great success when he confesses that half the liquor consumed in the State is not purchased from the dispensary. While we are compelled to find fault with Governor Till man for his course in regard to the courts, the railroads and the dispensary, we are glad that we can agree with him on the sub ject of education. He favors the continuance, with liberal appropriations, of all the State’s institutions of learning and in this we heartily concur. OUR JUDICIARY. Evil is the hour when politics enters the judiciary, when the personnel ofthe court is changed for partisan purposes. The bul wark of the liberties of a people is shaken and sorely strained when the judicial eunine is made the reward for political services. The brink of the pre cipice has been reached when Judges are displaced because they construe the law as their consciences dictate, regardless of popular clamor. When Judges are turned down because they refuse to bend the knee it is time for a halt to be made. A yawning abyss extends be yond and another step will throw us over the precipice into the darkness of confusion and demoralization and, perhaps, slavery. Drag the ermine through the cesspool of politics and oar liberties are destroyed. The affairs of South Carolina have reached such a point. The result of the election of Judges by the Legislature on Friday shows this. Justice McGowan and Judges Hudson, Wallace and Izlar were sacrificed, and why? Only because their ac tions were directed by a. con scientious regard for the law and not by the partisan wishes of the dominant element. Noth ing can be said against their ability or integrity, but they were not wanted because they did not belong to the “move ment”. New and untried men were put in their places; men whose chief claim to the posi tions is that they are faithful followers of Tillman. The Governor is very grasp ing; he takes unto himself all the power he possibly can. The only thing that has kept him from dqing just as he pleases without regard to the rights of the people has been the court. He has always had a pliant Legislature and with a pliant judiciary there is no telling where his assumption of power will end. With every seizure of unwarranted power he en croaches upon the liberties of the people. Let the conserva tive element in each faction take warning, for the brink of the precipice has been reached and dire disaster, we fear, is be yond. Hampton was the first man sacrificed for standing to his principles, but the “noble army of martyrs” is rapidly increas ing. Its ranks are becoming filled with our best men and its roll is already a roll of honor. Free Scholarship.
