FINK POLITICAL PLOTTING.
Some of the southern papers find cause
for alarm in certain bold statements re
cently made by the Boston Traveller,
which go to show that the northern re
publicans are planning to take a hand in
southern politics, with a view to disrupt
ing the democratic party. Using the
sub-treasury scheme as an entering
wedge, they would split the solid south,
ami on its ruins re-established negro
government. .Such, at least, would he
the ultimate outcome of the success of
such a plot, for if the republicans should
find themselves a little stronger in con
gress than they were last winter they
would be pretty sure to pass a force bill,
and then there would he u-general count
ing in of negro voters and a counting
out of white voters.
According to the Traveller the enemy
lias been running his mines first under
the old palmetto state, and claims to .

The democrats of the country, and
probably some of the republicans also,

wonder has grow u that they were net
dismissed from the service long ago—
and the impression has gained ground
that there must he some special con-
sideration that causes the president to

a “puddle” for quite a while, and there
is little prospect of his getting himself

they may have done. The causes which
led to the election of Tiilmau and Irby
were so deep seated that outside influ
ences could hardly have affected the re
sult. But if the Bostonians, in their
eagerness for mischief making, saw fit
to contribute money towards Tillman’s
we may be sure that every dollar of it
was thankfully received.
The Traveller openly avows that “Bos
ton took a hand in South Carolina poli
os last year, through the judicious use
of money and influence.” and that object
was to encourage the alliance movement
and split the democratic party, in the
expectation that “it would tend to break
up a tyrannical solid south.” According
to the same authority, “much more ex
tended preparations are being made for
the next campaign- in South Carolina
under the skillful leadership of ex-Gov.
Long at the Boston end of the line, and
of J. Hendrix McLane of Columbia, S.
C., at the other end.” Mr. McLane is to
he supplied by the Boston patriots with
money “for the organization of alliance
clubs.” With a candor which could not
he surpassed, the Traveller says:
Mr. McLane’* alliance tendencies would
shock his Boston associates under ordinary
circumstances, »>ut they are willing to Join
hands with him and tolerate the crudities of
the alliance to h»at th«* democrats. These
Boston mor«* ists 1>e lave tha* while republi
canism "pure aud simple” will never prove
acceptable to the southern democracy, their
organization can easily b« disintegrate I by
some other po.itieai force like ha . of the
alliance.
This moral plot of the “Boston moral
ists” is almost as bald as that which re
sulted in making a tea-pot of Boston har
bor. The Traveller’s brazen avowal of
it ought to ho placarded throughout
South Carolina. “Crudities of the alli
ance” should he printed iu capitals.
These Bostonians regard the alliance
with contempt, and they hold the sub-
treasury scheme as sheer madness. They
feel sure that the alliance will never car
ry its points, but they would use the
numerical strength of the alliance to
deal a staggering blow at southern dem
ocracy. With their thirty pieces of
silver they would induce the alliance
men to betray their own political party
and dig their own political graves. The
Traveller deserves thanks for having
laid bare this diabolical plot.
“The Sleeping City” is the rather
suggestive title of a “comedy melo
drama” dealing with New York life
which has just been completed by Oota
vus Cohen, managing editor of the
Charleston (S. C.) Daily World. The
play is said to abound in thrilling epi
sodes, including a lunatic asylum ou
fire, a gambling house scene, a steam
ship wharf, a newspaper office and the
rescue of a child at the Park Place sta
tion of the Sixth avenue elevated road.
Mr. Cohen is loyal to his profession, and
has made his heroes, the city editor and
sporting editor, respectively, of a large
(imaginary) New York daily newspaper.
Mr. Cohen will endeavor to secure a
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia or
Boston production for “The Sleeping
City.”
A bad condition of affairs has devel
oped out in Kansas, where the legisla
ture passed a law making it a crime ou
the part of employers to work their em
ployes more than eight hours per day.
The asylums, orphan homes and like in
stitutions are compelled to have more
hands or stop business, and as the ap
propriations were not increased, the lat
ter alternative seems inevitable. The
manager of the asylum has notified the
governor that he must haw more money,
or send the lunatics home. Even an
eight-hour law should he tempered with
discretion.
ditical earthquake of! Harrison, the special beneficiary being
event did not affect the president’s sister-in-law. It was an
old and worthless claim which had been
urged on successive administrations
without avail for twenty years past.
When Mrs Harrison’s •brother-in-law be
came president the prospects of the
claim were of course greatly improved.
It only needed an unscrupulous man for
commissioner to insure the allowance of
the claim. No matter what the merits
of the claim might he, he would allow
it. And of course such a man would do
many other tilings of a dishonest na
ture, and a few of them happened to
leak out and set the people to talking.
The president and his sister-in-law
must feel under lasting obligation to
Commissioner Haum for allowing this
claim, for it secures to the lady the neat
sum of $8,239.93 in cash and an income
of $2.3 per month during the remainder
of her life. And what was the nature*
of her claim? Why, in 1839, five years
after the close of the war, her husband
died of consumption, and, as he had
served in the army, the widow conclud
ed she ought to have a pension.
Twelve years having passed without her
obtaining any favorable notice of the
claim, she concluded to strengthen it by
maintaining that her husband's disease
was contracted while iu the army.
With this pretense ami all of General
Harrison’s influence nothing could he
done with the claim until Harrison ns
president, by the aid of his tool, Baum,
pushed it through.
This Is but a sample of the manner in
which the tax-pavers’ money is being
squandered by the government. Almost
any man from the north will admit that
a small army of able-bodied men is sup
ported in idleness by the nation, being
assured of incomes sufficient to support
them during the remainder of their
lives. The abuses under the system are
of the most shameless description. But
It all serves the grand purpose of neces
sitating high tariff taxes and insuring to
the manufacturers protection j,
Thc people cannot resist these extor
tions, but they can punish such cases of
individual rascality as Mrs. Harrison’s
pensiou represents. Th? president has
caused hundreds of thousands of dollars
to he put in the dockets of his relatives,
mainly in fat salaries. But the people
will see to it that the Harrisons’ salaries
are cut off early in 1893.

not for the past six months been very
friendly to Mr. Cleveland, but so un
swerving, dignified and faithful lias al

Editor Banksio.n of the Ringgold

Gov. James E. Camimiki.l defies ttie
coterie of Cincinnati toughs that seeks
his defeat for a renondnation, and right
ly says that tlioy will not he allowed to
control the destinies of the democratic
party in the great state of Ohio. Gov
ernor Campbell displays in this action
the same boldness and aggressive char
acter that gave him victory over Fora-
ker in his splendid campaign of 1889.
He is going to win the nomination in
spite of the mechinations of his enemies
within the party, and we hope will win
the governorship in spite of those with
out. If Governor Campbell is renomi
nated, the best element of Ohio democ
racy will be on top. The Foraker gang
captured the republican convention.
Tiie Atlanta Constitution is a staunch
democratic organ aud a warm frieud to
the alllarce, and our readers will atten-
tivelyiisteu to any advice that it may
give them. But one thing is certain: If
the democratic party expects the sup
port of the farmers’ alliance, it must
embody our demands into its platform
and then nominate a ticket that‘will
command the confidence of the people.

if by remaining in the field he would
eniharass the party in any way, he
would signify his withdrawal at an early
date. After sayiug this much, the Press
reports that all the gentlemen were
agreed that he was the man for next
year’s nomination: Mr. Gorman saying
that, as a candidate, he would not he
weakened by his views on the silver
question.
After further discussion, Mr. Cleve
land is said to have placed his political
fortunes in the hands of the gentlemen
present, giving them the liberty to
withdraw him at any moment if they
saw the interests of the party might be
jeopardized by his candidacy. They
all departed from the conference de
termined to keep Mr. Cleveland to the
front.
It is a very pretty story, and, if true,
reflects a great deal of credit upon Mr.
Cleveland. He is just the kind of man
to stand .aside if by so doing he may ad
vance the welfare of the democratic
party. Though he has held many public
offices, lie has never appeared before his
party or the people as an office-seeker.
He has never shown any other ambition
than to do well what his hand might
find to do. He has been fearless and
faithful in the discharge of every public
trust, and his administration stands in
glorious contrast to that of Mr. Harri
son. The people of the south have al
ways found him a friend in his public
acts, and Jhere is no other way to judge
a tree than by its fruits. His speech at
Philadelphia a few months ago, in which
he touched upon the depression of agri
culture, should have won him the favor
of every farmer in America.—Birming

USELESS APPEALS.
When Justice Bradley condemned, ns
he did iu opening the new Federal
Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, the
too common practice among lawyers of
appealing cases in which the law is
clear, he struck at one of the most fer
tile causes of delay in our courts of last
resort.
An appeal is justified only when the
law is doutful or it is reasonably plain
that the lower court has erred. Y'et ap
pelate courts are constantly called upon
to decide points that have been well
settled by earlier decisions aud to hear
appeals made on mere pretexts and
quibbles.
Hundreds of cases are appealed when
any well iuformed lawyer can see that
the appellant has no chance of winning.
Such appeals are uot only useless, they
are an abuse.
ONLY THE WORKERS WIN.
The following extracts from the ad
dress of Gen. John B. Henderson, de
livered before the graduates of the
Columbia law school, are taken from the
St. Louis Dispatch. They are solid
truths for men, young and old:
“When I see the briefless lawyer abus
ing the courts and the judges; the un
successful physician, condemning the
world for its want of appreciation: when
‘l see the mechanic spending Hs sub
stance iu the dramshop and clamoring
for socialism as a relief from the ills of
life: when. I see the thriftless farmer
leaning upon the government instead of
his plow for support, and the workman
wasting his time iu organizing against
capita 1 because it is not his own, and all
of them complaining that the world is
unkind, the words of Cassius to his
friend come vividly to my mind:
“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underling*
“There is a sound, wholesome lesson
in this paragraph for young men and wo
men who are leaving the schools to en
ter upon their iife work. The rules that
applied in their educational competition
apply in the wider and more serious
competition in the outside world. The
rewards go to the earnest and persist
ent toilers, not to the discontented
idlers ami grumblers. Complaining of
the better advantages and opportunities
of others will not hriug a singlb advan
tage or opportunity to the complainant,
whereas striving to improve those one
has may do so.
“There is discipline in patience and
opportunity in waiting. Tl\e briefless
lawyer has time to prepare himself the
better for his work when briefs come,
aud the patientless physician can employ
his waiting period laying a firmer foun
dation for success in treating the pa
cients that he will get in the future.
Organization is a good thing for work
men. but it is an aid and not a substi
tute for labor. Political reform can be
of no value to the farmer who has
neither land nor crops to profit by it.
“The men aud women who join tlie
beehive of the world will find there
many wrongs, inequalities and difficul
ties, hut they will find also that only
work will right the wrongs, straighten
the inequalities and overcome the eyili-
culties. Successful reformers are work
ers. and those who idly wait for reforms
to bring them bread are generally re
duced to beggary, theft or starvation.”
The first section of the little railroad
which is to connect Jaffa with Jerusalem
has been completed, and tourists are
now ahlo to travel by rail from Jaffa to
Kamleli, about one-third the distance.
It will not he very long before pilgrims
to the Holy Land will he whisked in

The Commercial Gazette headed its
! editorial on the work of the Ohio repub
lican convention: “It is Finished.” It
didn’t mean to say that after the nomi
nation of such a candidate on such a
platform the G. O. 1*. had given up the
ghost, hut that will be the size of it
when Campbell turns down McKinley
next fall.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is an
other one. of the republican senators
from the west who is opposed to the re
nomination of the little man in the
white house, and he expresses the
opinion that the .next republican con
vention will declare for Blaine whether
he desires the nomination or not. Sen
ator Stewart also charges that the pres
ident has exacted from every man ho
has appointed to office a pledge to work
for his renoiuination. This confirms
what the democrats have frequently as-
asserted, and shows up Benjamin iu his
true character of a political wire puller.
Senator Vest has been interviewed.
He is of the opinion that the democrats
will nominate Cleveland and Gray next
jear. The senator believes Mr. Cleve-
lan to he mistaken in his views as to the
free coinage of silver, but that he is
right on every other question. lie inti
mates that Mr. Cleveland might yield to
the sentiment of the party as to silver.
He denounces as false the charge that
the democratic senators are working
against Mr. Cleveland. Which views
seem to stick in the craw of some folks.
The fact that a prominent rolling mill
man, Mr. Seddon of Birmingham, Ala.,
accompanied the Richmond and Danville
officials on their recent trip over the
Central road is taken to mean that con
siderable improvements are contemplat
ed, particularly in the track of the road.
The Richmond and Danville is noted for
the substantial character of its property
everywhere.
If Harvard College is as progressive
as she would have us believe, why not

speak? If a thing is worth doing at all
It should he done thoroughly.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
“Who will be the next president of
the United States?”
A prominent democrat of Americus.
who has long held such position as to
make him a good observer of the drift
of events, says that he will be Leland
Stanford of California.
“The democrats,” said he, “will uot
nominate Cleveland, because of the fear
that he cannot carry New York, hut will
put up Hill, or some other compromise
man, who can’t carry Connecticut, New
Jersey, Indiana and other close states,
aud will, therefore, fail to elect their
candidate.
“The republicans have had enough of
Harrison and will fear to nominate
Blaiue, because the same causes that de
feated him in 1885 may do so again.
“Leland Stanford* is a man of ability,
worth one hundred millions, and has a
good record, is acceptable to the repub
lican allianeemen because of his favor
able position on silver, the tariff and
the sub-treasury bill, and can carry
every doubtful state.
“Leland Stanford will therefore be
the next president.”
The news that II. Victor Newcombe
of New York at one time a prominent
Wall street operator and a reputed mil
lionaire, had been sent to a private in
sane asylum, was not a surprise to Ids
friends, who have known that Mr. New
combe had been in bad health, suffering
from a mental disturbance for several
months. He seemed to improve after
his return from atrip to Europe, but the
recent warm weather evidently caused a
relapse and induced his family tu send
him from home for better treatment.
He is not considered incurable, aud his
speedy recovery is hoped for.
Alexander Boyd of Cool Springs,
Pa., shot and killed his mother-in-law
the other night, and when arrested he
stated that he mistook her for a burglar
It is true that there are hundjeds of
men iu this world who would rather
have a burglar in the house than a
mother-in-law, but this thing of mistak
ing a mother-in-law for a burglar and
shooting her ought to he discouraged.
It is getting to be entirely too comhiou
and convenient.
CAMPBELL IN THE FRAY.
Gor. Campbell has convinced thi
publicans, as well as the men of h| H
party, that he is a fighter, and tha* i
intends to wear war paint from the
ginning to the end of the Ohio ca
paign. The bitterly partisan speech
McKinley on the occasion of his a 0fj
nation has aroused tlie gallant
crat, and he has taken the field
plunged into the fray.
Thursday night he made a sj.ee
his friends in Cincinnati, in whici
expressed his opinion of the croi
ward politicians, headed by John
Lean, in very strong language,
also declared that the demo
of the great state of Ohio would no?
allow themselves to he controlled 1,
small faction in Hamilton county. , U1
that county sent a number of deleea;,
to the convention in excess of its quot
that they would not be admitted tot]
floor. Gov, Campbell then said that t!
democratic convention would have ft
delegates and he would be nominated f,
governor and he elected.
He seems to have no doubt of hi* abi
ity to carry the state, ffecause with the
single exception of Hamilton countv
the democrats are aroused, united anc
hard at work and the party will make
great gains in the rural counties. Th
leading democrats are supporting (;<
Campbell warmly, and while they fully
appreciate the fact that, the campai
will be the hottest in the history of the
state, they believe the democratic ticki
will he victorious, because the secret
ballot law will prevent the republican
from buying votes by the wholesale

manufacturing towns and cities tire
law is sure to operate to the advantagi
of tlie democrats, as the republican mill
owners will he powerless to intimidate
their employes, or to know how they
voted.
DOUGLASS GOT SCARED.
The news from Havti regarding th
recent conduct of Ilypolite, the black
butcher who is the president of thelitt!
republic, conveys tlie idea that be is
crazy. It appears that when the dip!*
matic corps called on Hypolite to pro
test against the violation of the Mexican
consulate as an asylum of refuge, that
he shook his list in the faces of th
diplomats and caused Frederick Doug
lass, our saddle colored minister, to
prow almost white with fright. The
German consul, however, brought Hope-
lite to terms, when he protested against
his conduct aud stated that he
would promptly report the insult to
the German emperor, and the
result was the president of Havti
begged off and promised that it should
never occur again. It occurs to the
average Caucasian that the civilized na
tions of the world ought to take steps to
rid Hayti of such a savage as Hypolite.
and we hope that the opportunity will
soon he offered a United States man-of-
war to drop a few shells about his ears.
Iu the meantime, however, this govern
ment should do something to give Min
ister Douglass a stiff upper lip, because
if his courage is not bolstered up the
chances are that Hypolite will glare at
him some day and he will take to the
woods and get lost.
Senator Carlisle has been as zeal
ous and as faithful an advocate of tariff
reform, a tariff for revenue for the
actual needs and necessities of the gov
eminent, as Mr. McKinley has been fora
protective tariff for the sake of a favored
few. In an interview* the other day the
distinguished senator said that in hi*
opinion it would be “exceedingly bad
policy to permit the silver question
become a paramount one in 1892.” He
said that it was a question upon which
there are honest differences of opiP'on
in the democratic flarty, while there are
other questions of equal or greater im
portance upon which the democrats are
thoroughly united. In his judgment it
would be wiser to concentrate the whole
democratic strength instead of dividing
them.
Dr. Talmadoe declares that “The
Battle of Creeds” now raging is directly
inspired by Satan. It is very gratifying
to note that Dr. Talmage, who is usually
regarded as sensational and ever ready
to pitch headlong into a controversy, is
just now acting as a bulwark against the
flood of skepticism that threatens the
church, and is raising his stentorian
tones in pleading for the good old kind
of religion he learned at his mother’s
knee.
The Central railroad machinists who
went out on a strike iu- Savannah a few
days ago have settled their grievances
and returned to work, with the except

The New York Recorder, under the
management of G. W. Turner, late busi
ness manager of the World, comes out
flat-footed for James G. Blaine for presi
dent, its only regret being that Blaine’s
health may preveut him from being a
“possibility.”
The Ohio republican platform mihilf
‘commends the patriotic services of our
distinguished fellow citizen, Senator
John Sherman, and his republican col
leagues in the fifty-first congress. K
has been the practice of former republi
can conventions in Ohio to make speci*
indorsement of Sherman aud recomrnen u
him for re-election. Whatever mayj*
said of Sherman, he is by long odds t «
ablest man his party has in Ohio, and u
was a shame that he should have re
ceived this treatment at its hands at tb*
