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.
