THE VETO.
II we understand Mr. Cleveland’s mes
sage, it means, when divested of all
technicalities and brought down to
simple English, about this: “I would
like to please the democrats in signing
this bill, because they elected me, and 1
would not have been known outside of my
county but foi them, but Mr. Sherman
wont let me sign it boys. You know the
balance of trade is always in favor of the
United states, but England would be
afraid to owe us if we had lots of silver
dollars. Mr. Carslise has the right to
issue bonds but you all ought to cheei
him when he does and claim that the
way to prosperity is to go in debt. 1
would be perfectly willing for you to
coin the seigniorage, but that might ob
viate the necessity for bonds, and the
bond holders want more of them. We
must bold the seniorage because it is a
valuable bonus, though I would admit
it would be more valuable coined. The
difference is this, the people could use
it if it was coined, and it is already ours
as it is, and the people cannot use it.
Selah! It seems to me that it would be
very foolish for the people to want to
use their wealth in the developcment of
their resources when England would loan
them money at a low rate of interest and
they could just let this lie idle. But it
remains yet for me to give a good reason
for my objections to the bill. There are
several grammatical errors in the bill and
it is not properly punctuated. Jam ex
tremely anxious that whatever we do
the millionaires may not be discouraged,
and become frightened and that those
abroad may still remain willing to owe
us any balance of trade, and your peti
tioners will eyer ‘prey’ ”
The dispensary business in South
Carolina is assuming gigantic propor
tions. Last week the governor issued
orders for the spies to search the resi
dence* of the citizens of Darlington,
who were suspected of dealing in con
trabrand whiskies, but when they be
gan carrying out his orders they were
immediately stopped by the residents
•f that city, who held the pr'vacy of
their homes in greater reverence than
the Czar like ruling of Tillman. Shot
gun* were brought into play, and
\\ hen the smoke of battle cleared
away it was found that three were
dead and several badly wounded, the
result of a skiimish between a few
enraged citizens and the hirelings ol
Czar Tillman. The czar at once or
dered out the militia and declared
war against the good citizens of Dar
lington, who hhd defended the sanc
tity of their homes against the inva
sion of his spies. The troop* threw
down their arm* and refused to obey
the mandates of Tillman, whose soul
disire is to execute his rulings re
gardless of cousequences. Almost
every company ealled out. in the state
refused to go, and the czar was forced
to call upon the militias of the small
cities to defend him in executing his
infamous designs. The prospe. is are
that the dispensary business of South
Carolina, will sooner or latei, endin
war. It is our opinion that if it is not
doueaway with, or the laws relative
to It greatly modified, the trouble in
that state has just begun.
BETHE~
Mr. Editors, I see several candi
dates have already announced their
names for county officers, but I see
no ouo for legislator, which ought to
be the first one* out as they are elect
ed first and in looking over the vast
amount ot good material we have iu
old Butts for someone to represent us
ni the lower house next time our mind
has caught on to Mr. T. P. 8011, of
Towaliga, as the most suitable man
for the place, aid I would like o
hear from our thinking men on this
subject. Mr. Bell is an honest, up
right and energetic farmer. One who
has always managed his atfairs well.
Just the man wo need to help manage
our great and noble state, and there is
no better place for. him to serve us
than in the legislature. I never did
like the plan of a man seeking the of
fice. I like for the office to seek the
man, and we know that Mr. Bell is
no office seeker, and is fully qualified
for ths place. So let us call him to the
front for the next campaign.
Respectfully.
Muggins.
