GOY. TILLMAN’S MESSAGE.
BAILROAD RECEIVERSHIPS AND
THE DISPENSARY LAW.
The Document is Mainly Devoted to
These Two Topics The New
Liquor Law a Success.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 28. — The
General Assembly met in session to
day. Following are the more nota
ble portions of Governor Tillman s
message. After reviewing the finan
cial condition of the State as shown
>y the treasurer’s report, he takes up
the subject of “railroad taxes and re
ceivership.” He says :
“During the year a question of
vital importance, ami one more far
reaching in its consequences to the
States than any that has arisen since
the celebrated Virginia coupon cases,
has been passed upon by the Federal
courts and decided in a measure that
must excite the alarm and resent
ment of every lover of liberty and
justice. The issue involved the sov
ereignty of the State and the equality
of all tax-payers before the law; and,
by the decision rendered by the Cir
cuit Court in Charleston and sus
tained by the United States Supreme
Court, that sovereignty has been dis
regarded and, in effect, destroyed,
and a preferred class of tax-payers
created with special privileges not
vouchsafed to other citizens. * * *
KAILROAD LITIGATION.
“The State Railroad Board of
Equalization, in pursuance of its du
ties, assessed the taxes on railroads
for the fiscal year, 1890-91, in ac
cordance with its understanding of
the constitution and the law. The
railroads made a return of their
property at a much lower value,
and, when the time for the payment
came, tendered only such taxes as
were due on their own assessment.
Injunctions were granted by the
United States Court in every case
against the treasurers, prohibiting
the issue of executions and the col
'ection of the taxes in dispute. The
Attorney-General and his associate
jounsel denied the jurisdiction of
file Circuit Court in those cases
where the amount involved was less
lhan 82,000, and denied the right of
he court to lump the amounts ip the
different counties so as to bring the
mu up to the requirements for ob
&ining jurisdiction; and the main
ssue asj to the legality of the taxes
was left to rest, pending the appeal
to the Supreme Court on this ques
tfon of jurisdiction.
ONLY PARTIALLY ENDED.
“In January la>t the Supreme
Court decided the question in favor
of the State, and decided that the
lower court had no jurisdiction where
‘.he sum of taxes in dispute in any
one county was le<s than 82,000.
This at once ended the fight, so far
as all the railroads not in the hands
of receivers were concerned, and
those roads paid the taxes due. But,
unfortunately, out of a total railroad
mileage in South Carolina of 2,552
miles, 1,419 miles, considerably more
than half, are in the hands of re
ceivers, and the question which pre
sents itself to us is, whether, during
the life of the receiverships, which
dt pends on the will of the courts, the
State shall be denied the right to
collect the taxes assessed in accord
ance with her laws and shall receive
only what the alien owners of the
roads, who select the receivers, see
proper to pay. * *. *
THE LAW OF RECEIVERS.
“The law of receivers is altogether
modem. It rests almost wholly on
judicial legislation. It took its rise
in the Court of Equity in England
tome hundred years ago, and up to
1860 the powers and duties of re
ceivers and the control of bankrupt,
estates by judges thr< ugh them were
of small importance and caused no
disquiet. The receiver hold the
trust estate pending the litigation,
took care of it, paid the taxes, when
necessary kept things in repair—and
that was about all. But during the
last thirty-rive years this small, insig
nificant power has spread and grown
with the rapidity of the banyan tree
hi the tropic jungles of Asia, until it
now overshadows the land and
blights the sovereignty of the States,
becoming a, veritable Upas tree,
vhich threatens the existance of
local self-government. This devel
ipment has been owing to and has
siept pace with the construction, of
railroads and the numerous cases of
bankruptcy in which they are in
volved by reassn of bad manage
ment, watering of stock, or wreckage
wrought by a bare majority of stock
holders, who seize a railroad and run
it in their own interests, with a view
of defrauding the minority stock
holders and stealing their property.
Too often, alas’, the courts are in
struments to carry out the rob
bery. * * *
STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
“The State had exercised its sov
ereignty to levy taxes in accordance
widi its own laws. Its officers, in
compliance with their oaths, pro
ceeded to obey those laws. Every
tax-payer, whether an individual or a
corporation, should be amenable to
those laws alike, and any decision
v, hich destroys that equality i/ an
outrage upon justice. If all judges
were honest, or fair, or just,, this
power of discrimination could . work
no wrong; but a receiver in the mat
ter of taxes should be the same as
any other citizen or corporation.
Any favoritism that is shown him is
a premium on fraudulent bankruptcy
and brings the judiciary into dis
credit. If the Court has the discre
tion and power through its receiver
to do all the various acts accessary
to run a railroad, and even build ad
ditional mileage, as has been done
and is being done, it could pass upon
the advisability of paying taxes in
private, and doubtless does it.
When, therefore, a receiver refuses
to pay taxes as illegal, it follows that |
the court must think as it does, and ■
it is a mockery to tell us to appeal
to such a tribunal.
“There is no law for this unwar
ranted interference on the part of •
the United States Court; there is
nothing in the United States consti
tution to -warrant it. The authors of
that instrument never dared to set
up any such claim, and the court
only obtained it by a violent assump
tion of power, which is the essence
of tyranny.”
the dispensary law.
Coming to the subject of the dis
pensary law, Governor Tilllman said :
“Perhaps no measure passed by any
Legislature of any State within the
memory of man has excited such
widespread comment and elicited
such deep interest. This is mainly
owing to the fact that it is an en
tirely new idea from an American
standpoint and deals with the ques
tion of controlling the liquor traffic
in a new way.
AN ABSORBING TOPIC.
“In the State the dispensary law
has been, and still is, the one absorb
ing, never-ending topic of discussion,
and it has produced some comical
alignments and alliances in the ef
forts to obstruct and defeat it. News
papers which have always fought pro
hibition, and those known as the
organs of the whisky ring, have
suddenly become strong advocates
of Drohibi ion. Prohibitionists who
are so radical in their views that, the
uncharitable call them ‘cranks’ have
been found shoulder to shoulder
with bar-keepers and whisky dealers
in opposing it; and while many emi
nent divines have lent it their aid
and indorsement, others are hitter in
its denunciation. The more mod
erate prohibitionists are delighted
with it. The whisky men arc more
bitter in their opposition to it than
they have ever been toward prohi
tion.
“If it can be shown that under the
dispensary system there will be a re
duction in the consumption of liquor
and a necessary reduction in crime
and misery resulting from it, it must
follow that the dispensary, without
regard to the revenue feature, is a
long stride forward and an improve
ment on the license system. I will
not pretend to say that it is as good
as prohibition wftuld be, but 1 do say
that prohibition, here or anywhere
else, is impossible, and the only ques
tion is how best to regulate t he traffic
so as to minimize the inevitable in
jury to society inseparable from the
sale, of liquor under any circum
stances.
merits of the law.
“The claims of dispensary to
support and its superiority over any
form of licensing rest on the follow
ing grounds:
“First—The element of personal
profit is destroyed, thereby removing
the incentive to increase the sales.
“Second—A pure article is guar
anteed, as it is subject to chemical
analysis.
“Third—The cor sumer obtains
honest measure of standard strength.
“Fourth —Treating is stopped, as
the bottles are noL opened on the
premises.
“Fisth —It is sold only in the day
time ; this under a regulation of the
board and not under the law.
Sixth —The concomitants of ice,
sugar, lemons, etc., being removed,
there is not the same inclination to
drink remaining, and the closing of
the saloons, especially at night, and
prohibition of its sale by the drink,
destroy the enticements and seduc
tions which have caused so many
men and boys to be led astray and
enter on the downward course.
“Seventh —lt is s -Id only for cash,
and there is no longer ‘chinking up’
for daily drinks against pay day. The
workingman buys his bottle of whisky
Saturday night and carries the rest
of his wages home.
“Eighth Gambling dens, pool
rooms and lewd houses, which have
hitherto been run almost invariably
in connection with the saloons, which
were thus a stimulus to vice, sepa
rated from the sale of liquor, have
had their patronage reduced to a
minimum, and there must neces
sarily follow a decrease of crime.
“Ninth —The local whisky rings,
which have been the curse of ox cry
municipality in the State, and have
always controlled municipal elec
tions, have been torn up root and
branch, and the influence of the
bar-keeper as a political manipulator
is absolutely destroyed. The police,
removed from the control of tiiese
debauching elements, will enforce the
law against evil doing with more ;
vigor, and a higher tone and greater
purity in all governmental affairs
must result. * *

strength, would have cost at least 50
cents from a saloon. The profit on
the half pint goes to the reduction of
the general tax, and the 30 cents
saved to the consumer goes into his
pocket for the support of his fam
ily. * * *
BEER MIGHT BE EXEMPTED.
“Now as to the question of beer.
I am inclined to believe that it will
be in the interest of temperance to
exempt it from the dispensary law
altogether, upon certain conditions,
to-wit: Require license under such
stringent regulation?! ensure
only men of probity and good char
acter obtaining them. Rut the beer
sellers under a ten thousand dollar
bond for the strict qusevance of the
law : the conditions of the bond to
be such that whenever satisfactory’
proof has been adduced that he has
sold anything else than beer or has
broker, the law in the least particular
the bond shall be forfeited in the
most speedy and that
the law can devise.
The beer saloon can be closed at
any hour the General Assembly sees
proper. The point I wish to make
is, that, so far as we may, it is good
policy and in the *4’ temper
ance to encourage the consumption
of beer as against the consumption of
whisky. Under such reltrictions as
I have mentioned very; few men
would run the risk of undertaking to
sell anything else This
course must be pursued or else the
Legislature will have to prohibit ab
solutely everything of the name or
nature of beer or malt bquor of any
kind containing a trace of alcohol. *
* *
HEROIC MEASURES NECESSARY.
“Desperate diseases require heroic
remedies, and the General Assembly
may as well understand that the en
forcement of this law ia some parts
of the State, and especially in Charles
ton, Columbia, Greenville, Spartan
burg, Beaufort and Sumter, will
require some special legislation. It
is against the municipal ordinances
to sell whisky without license An
every town in the State, hut the po
lice in the cities as a rule stand idly
by and see the ordinances broken
everyday; are particeps criminis in
the offense, or ac'ive aiders and abet
ters of the men who break it. As
soon as a constable arrives in town
he is spotted by them and reported
to those who run the illicit saloons.
“Under the provision of the dis
pensary act one-half of the revenue
oi' the local dispensaries, over and
above the expenses, goes into the
treasury of the municipality where
they are located. I see 'no remedy
for the condition of affairs existing
in Charleston and Columbia except to
provide for a system of metropolitan
police, divorcing the control of the
police force absolutely frdta politics

force as will not enforce the law. I
asked the Mayor of Charleston, with
whom I had a conference, to have
the police aid me in repressing and
uprooting the ilicit sale of whisky,
but he dechnned, on the ground that
that duty had been imposed on the
State Constables.”
To Organize for 1894.
Chairman Harrity, ex-Postmaster
General Don Dickinson, ex-Assistant
Secretary of State Josiah Quincy, ex-
Congressman B. T. Cable, Hon. John
Hopkins, of Illinois, and other prom
inent Democrats have had two or
three informal conferences, in Wash
ington, at which a suggestion that
headquarters of the National Demo
cratic party be opened in that city
was discussed and considered.
The proposition is that the Demo
cratic National Committee shall give
some attention to the election of 1894.
with a view of having a systematic
campaign made. The matter is to
be further considered, and is likely
to take definite shape soon.

for their homes, but the statement as
to their purpose to make concerted
effort to check the further progress
of the landslide was obtained author

House during their stay in the city
Fair Profits Gone Glimmering.
Cun ago, Nov. 17.—The assets of
the World’s Fair are dwindling to an
exten: that alarms the managers.
When the Exposition closed, on Oc
tober 30, Treasurer Seeberger bad in
round numbers $2,250,000 in cash in
bank. This has been slipping away
in spite of what the managers claim
is the most economical management,
at the rate of 810,000 a day.
But in addition to that, the assets
have been shrinking in the most un
expected manner. Discoveries have
lately been made, it is said, which in
any enterprise but the World's Fair
would be regarded as- sensational in,
the extreme. It transpires that a
large amount of property that the
Exposition managers expected to sell,
and with the funds pay back to the
stockholders a small perccentage of
their contributions, does not belong to
the Fair at all, but is owned by con
tractors. The contractors are mov
ing their property away. They are
literally stripping the Exposition
grounds. How much will be left
when they -get through can only be
surmised. In some cases they own
the roofs of the buildings.
Hard on the Tramp.
At Au Claire, Wisconsin, a negro
tramp crawled into a car of lumber
bound for Burlington, lowa, and lay
down -on top of the pile. He fell
asleep, and the lumber being wet
swelled up, crushing him against the
roof of the car. When the car ar
rived at Burlington the dead body
was found.

I put every reader on notice who is fortunate enough to read the whole truth’
and nothing but the truth that is advocated by this fearless paper in its efforts in
directing the multitudes on the path to freedom and remunerative reward fortheir
daily toil, and where no longer to the moneyed Shylocks shall belong the spoils.
To you I say that I have opened and run successfully for the last two years the first
and only retail Commission House to sell Dry Gords, Clothing, Shoes and Hats ever
opened in the South, where you can buy as much for SIO.OO as you can for f 15.0 q
from retail merchants, as the following reasons will show:
I sell goods for manufacturers and merchants that have failed.
I sell goods for merchants and manufacturers that are fixing and arranging
their matters to be in a position to fail full handed.
I buy nothing, no matter how cheap it may be. but I sell everything strictly on
commission.
I take nothing to sell unless I can sell it as low as any merchant can buy h
from the manufacturers.
You will save from 25c. to 40c. on the dollar on every article you buy; you will
not be made fun of while trading, nor will the finger of scorn be pointed at you

THE PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER,
40 1-2 North Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga.,
Advocates These Principles:
1. Issue the money of the government
directly to the people, instead of allow
ing national banks the “special privi
lege” of doing so at a heavy profit.
2. Allow all the people an equal chance
to get some of that money instead of al
lowing the boodlers a monopoly of get
ting it ; give cotton and wheat and laud
a« good a chance as you give the bonds
whose value depends on cotton and
wheat and land.
3. Tax the fat incomes of the million
aires instead of the plows and hoes and
clothes and blankets of the laborers.
4. Coin silver on terms of equality with
gold, so that the people will have both
kinds of money.
5. The railroads now own the govern
ment and run it in the interest of the
corporations ; let the government own
the railroads and run them in the inter
est of the people.
6. Prohibit monopoly, whether of
trade, of production, or of land : main
tain competition as the health of com
merce and as the fairest thing for all
parties. Thos. E. Watson,
