TILLMAN AND THE SUB-
TREASURY BILL,
Although this an off year in poli¬
tic^ affairs are not as serene as they
might be in the Palmetto State. The
prejudice end passion of the late bit-
tor strife, are not cooled down, and
already the Tillmanites and anti-
TiUmamtes, the alliance and anti-al¬
liance factious are planning for the
next campaign.
A correspondent iu the Atlanta
Journal says :
The State officials decline to talk shout
the next campaign fer poblic»tien, but
I gather from conveismions with var-
itiis administration leaders tbit they
look lor last year’s struggle to he r»-
psatod in the coming campaign with,
perhaps, added heat slid blltemess and
that they expect the fight to be between
Tillman and Hampton.
Said a prominent Tillmauite to mo :
,; 1 can tsll you now that the cam¬
paign in this State next year will be b«-
tween Tillman or Tillman’s candidates,
and to send a delegation to the Nation¬
al Convention, pledged ta support no
candidate who opposes free suver, while
the epposition will baitle to avenge
Hampton’s defeat for tbe Beas.le and
to capture the dalegAti*ua for Cleveland.”

in part a mistafea one.
There is ro evidence that tbs d.'nnui-
atrations iu luvor of Hampton are tbe
resnlt of any poliiical plan, iney are
csrtainly to he n,.'i»buteu la a l.vje
»easurr to his rejection by thoTiUma -
i'e Legislature, but tint tn^y haae any
political sign'ficsuico for the future
more than doubtful.
Gen. Hampton's friends are divided
as to the wi&dom or < xped'oncy of eall-
iag on him to euduro ’h** sti-fin of a
heated cam palgn. Move them con¬
sider that the hnmilia’iou of a d<f»at
under tho sircainfltances W'-nld be tx>
great to take to take any risks c.n, and
favor putting forward a candidate who
would represent tho principles Gen.
Hampton represents and whose election
would amount ta Hampton’s vindica¬
tion.
Th* Trikumb does not believe
that Wade Hampton will ever again
offer for political honors in South
Carolina.
Vassh'w, prejudice and ignorance
took the rein* of government in
Soulh Carolina last year, and Hamp¬
ton, the soldier, t v e patriot, the
statesman, Hampton, the licro of
many battle fields, the redeemer of
his State and the dauntless and in¬
corruptible defender of the rights
and liberties of his people, wras in-
gloriously overthrown. This is
South Carolina’s shame. It will be
handed down t.a history, and the
boys of the future will read with
honest indignation of the inglorious
sacrifice of a heio. No emoluments
the Palmetto State may heap upon
the old soldier in the future can
wipe not the record of 1890. We
believe that Hampton is too much of
a hero ever again to ask political
boners of a people whe have
heaped such humiliation upon him.
Hampton is dear to us in defeat.
From sea to sea, from the great
lakes to the Mexican gulf, the man
of. Sparfiau courage, traitorously
stabbed in the back by tbe State he
offered his life for, is first in thc
hearts of a brave ind patriotic peo-
ple.

“It would take too much tun* and
space to explain the scheme fully
and I hare not thought out - all tbe
details, but the increase of the cir¬
culating medium and tbe obtaining
of a currency that is at once eaiuble
and not liable to contraction at th*
will of tbe money sharks of Wall
street, is what we ad desire. The

free coinage of silver will briiur great
relief, but it will not be enough.
W# ought to demand the repeal of
the national law, taxing State banks
of issue out of existence, and then
each State, under some general
vision of Congress, comld allow
issue with land as the basis of
rity. For instance, the fanners
South Carolina own $100,000,000
” -* ’"ud. It is dead capital eo
wortu ui
far n. being a baai. of credit 1* auu-
cerned, for the national banks are
spraially prohibit*,! from loaning
money on real estate. Now if the
farmers of a county desire to estab-*
lish a bank and issue money, why
could they not subscribe tbeir land
to the .took of a bank while living
on it and thus obtain the heeded in
create of the circulating medium?
Under the sub-treasury scheme the
National Government is asked to is-
sue money on perishable agricultural
products at a lower rate of interest
than the Government itself can bor-
row money. The scheme .
Lh.: employment of an ai iuv of poli-
tical hirelings and is patemali-m run
mad. Now the issue of a currency
based on land wonld insure the final
redemption of every note that is
issued and leave the management of
the banks in the hands of the peopl;
instead of those of the Govtrnineilt.
This in brief is the tfchemo, which I
consider preferable to the sub-trea-
my, but, as I said in the interview
with the Atlanta Journal, 1 favor the
iasue of sufficient greenbacks by the
Government* ba»dd on the credit of
the nation, ti is nonseiise to call it
fiat money, because all curiency
which wc now have except a little
gold and silver is fiat money an i
nothing more. All tbe national
bank notes were based or nat.-ona
bonds, and tho a e bonds are hothu.^

One ot the interesting features oi' rb-
tim(3 is the entrance of ministers into tin
field of politics. As long as they d > ji;V
tube advantage of their position to
preach p&rtv polities the effect will b-
wholesome dh ncfrli rides. Tho preach
ers will have a chance to learn some ol
the workings of practical politics. The)
will learn, perhaps, not to credit without
investigation wild rumors of colossal po
Iitical corruption. They will learn heM
difficult it >9 to run this world just right
until minister* themselves and othei
good people by precept and examplfl
have educated the masses up to a liigl
moral standard, have taught them that
the only way to happiness for all is thf
path that leads up through gouflenosa,
cleanliness, justice and honesty. Orftfcf
other hand the masses will find out wyiat
it w to have leaders and individuals
wor'rfiig in politics wild are absolute!)
incorruptible, whoni no bribe of money,
no pron’isc of place or preferment can
cause to swerve a hair’s breadth from
the lofty road of duty.
The Mexicans have gone a step ahead
of *J3 in the employment of the phono¬
graph, having put it to a use which wa*
born of the necessities of the country,
hi Mexico a large proportion of the in¬
habitants are unable to read or writ*.
In each of the large cities of the repub¬
lic a phonograph will be put in opera¬
tion at the postotuee. Into this phono¬
graph tho citizen who cannot write will
oomo «nd talk his letter. The cylinder
vrill then he sent to the office Where th*
person addressed resides, fie will he
sent for and the message repeated to
him through the phonograph.
Anothet prehistoric city naa been dis¬
covered in Mexico, buried underground
and covered by great trees and thick
vegetation. It ia in the mountain region
of the state cf Vera Cruz* and is one oi
the most important archaeological finds
yet made among the buried cities of
Mexico. The buildings in this city of i>
timo long j jone by are still as brightly
frescoed on the outside a3 they were ai
the mysterious, unknown date when thej
were deserted and deft for the earth Ui
cover them and the trees to grow a’oov<
them. Some of the houses are foi?r .no
fire stories high.
x ue Torpcflo Boat CusTrlnjf,
The new torpedo boat Cushing, of th*
navy, lias not yst ceased to excite eur
prise and admiration. £er latest achieve¬
ment is steaming from the Brooklyn
nRvy yard tip to New London, a distance
of 120 miles, in 4 hours and 44 seconds.
This is the quickest time ever made be¬
tween the two points. But tho Cashing
exceeded even this speed when she vis¬
ited Washington some month a ago. She
mads a mile in 1 minute and *T7 seconds
on tbe Potomac river. At that rate sh«
can travel a little ervef thirty miles an
bom*.
Tbe Cushing is llifi foot long and 10
feet wide, and painted white, like several
of the new naval vessels. She ia a typi¬
cal torpedo boat, sharp at both ends, and
can travt-1 through the water stern fore¬
most nineteen miles an hour, which is
moro than the old vessels of our navj
ran do bow foremost, fnll «te»m oft.
While not intended primarily to cross
the sens, the little shining white racer
can carry forty tons of coal in her bunk¬
ers, aad could, if necessary, steam from
America to Europe. She is propelled by
twin screws aad her engines are of ths
nnadruple expansion pattern. She ia eo
trim built and manageable that she can
torn square around tn tho space of her
own length. She draws only four feet
five inches of water, eo that she caa

CATHOLICISM

As It Is Knownin
Georgia.
A Few Errors Briefly ,T<?Id»
Some months ago the writer was
impressed with the idea that it
wo iId be cowardly and wrong not
t » do what lay in our power, to-
ward* vvo-. ” ,, ecting some erroneous
MU, Ml pw ,g«t «m 0ng
Tub Tutut’Kif’s react'd
the doctrine's of Catho¬
lic church. We. supposed aist/that
arti^Ms on tVis subject would be of
interest to f»^Y*tbns' who are
not familiar with the teachings
a church that at the present day,
has a t£ei*!beTship doubte that of all
Christian cte'rfc’mi nations.
Our convictions have undergone
uo change on this subject,
A person remarked t.othe writer
not long ago I
“I tlfiilk of all l’ellgione, the
Roman Catholic' is tile' tfiost cruel
a-id hoart’ess- I could not sub¬
scribe to a faith that sends inno-
cent hubics aiid ffeteefus who a-c
n<>i l»c ievci‘3 in, or have iiol. been
baptised iu that church, to hades.”
Neither could any persou sub-
scribe to such a. «n»el faith as that,
It is no part of the UoithUl Cutlioi-
i C creed. That church teaches that
every human bei"g on this earth
who does his duty as he sees it, no
matter to what faith he subscriber
whether to an} 1- wili be better off
,
after death. He may be a believer
in the Koran, the Divine revelation
of Mohammend; he may w u-hip
Visiinn, rUe Gbd df the Int'ies ; he
niny l»e one vf Ho has tio conception
of a Supreme Being; lie may b e
a Protestant Christian who wor¬
ships Gotl a» man, and oeli ve> in
themy-tery of the Trin t.y ; cr the
Roman Catholic who believes in the
tran-ubstautiatioo ami kneels to
worship the God of the universe in
bread and wine; still if he does his
dnty according t» the light-t a
Divine Lord has thrown around
him, he will reach a safe haven
after death. I have thought tha’
this fa’th is generous and Christ
like, and thc only one that can bo
reconciled with reason, aud with
infinite love and mercy.
Somebody else says :
“But the Catholic church teaches
that the Pope is incap ible of sin
ning, is infallible.” The Catholic
church does not teach ihit the
Pope is exempt from sin. At the
beginning of mass each morning,
tbe Pope says at the foot of the ai-
tar: “I confess to Almighty God
and to hissaiots, that i have sin¬
ned exceedingly in thought, wor’
and deed.
The church teaches that the Pope
is al -ne infallible in regard to spiritu¬
al matters. The real doctrin of infalli¬
bility as sets forth by a learned
theologian is: “That the Pope, as
successors of St Peter, Prince ot the
Apostle:', by the virtue of thc promis¬
es of Jesus Christ, is preserved from
error < f judgment when lie pro-
ma.gates to the church, a decision
on faith or morals.”
Cardinal Uiubons, the same writer,
in speaking on the subject nays:
“J: the hundred and more Christ-
ian sec snow existing in ihi-country
does not each take the Bible as its
standard of authority, and d^es each
member draw from it a meaning
different from that of his neighbor?
Wh’le in the mind of God t’ e script¬
ures can have but one mean iug and
does not this variety of interpretation
proclaims tbe absolute necessity of
some authorized snd une'ring inter-
pretor?|'
“Would it not be most unreaiona—
in God to have revealed his troth to
man without leaving him a me ins
^ascertaining itsj precise import' ’

fanner Prince Krttpotkix does not sug
gest, nor has anybody been ftbio to «ug-
yest it eo far. Certainly no on« oould
properly accuse the guilty parties named
of an intentional conspiracy to skin
u he farmer to tlve bones and turn him
out br.ro. Neither is it the retailor who
gets rich. It is tlie wholesaler and. the
commission merchant, whore anybody
does. The 1 rouble lies largely in detect¬
ive methods of distribution in this cfiiitv
try. The products pa«3 through too

situation refjuirps that all parlies o_4i-

A Lesson That The World Had
Not Learned In Eighteen
Hundred Years.
Bulwer says m “kly Novel:” *If
there he a good in the w.»rlcf that w
do ivitliout knowing it, without eon-
jeduring the effect it m::y hava wp#n
a human soul, it is when we shew
kindness to the young in the fint

A sweet and tender message li«t
before the writer,' from Mrs. Loub*
Gordon. It is but one of the no any
cheering and kindly letters that have
come tome during the past few weeks
from all parts of Georgia and from
other States. A lournalist usually
endeavors to become indifferent alike*
to sympathy and abuse. This •vesit
ncscs-ary, became an honest and
fearless naan or woman who write*
for newspapers, especially in tnrbulent
times, gets very little encouragement
and very much of censure. But can
the I. urn an heart ever be trained t'
he indifferent to human sympathy?
My own experience is that, it ca* not.
There u< nothing m this world that
is so inexpressibly sweet to woman
orkers as the sympathetic apprecia¬
tion of brave, good woro^n. It jg *
ax u they do without knowing it,

may have upon a human sou! Ae
