Working the Machine,
The suggestion of a second term has
started workers in different sections of tbe
country to take even now initial steps for
delegations to a national Presidential con
vention. And just here there is likely to be
some fun. Already in this State we have
noticed in two prominent journals a sug
gestion that 0^. Dick Grubb, ot tbe Darien
Timber Gazette, shall again bo chosen a
delegate.
Col. Dick Grubb, be it understood, is a
good man and is onr friend, and we should
bs pleased to see him have any honors hj
may desire.
Bnt Ool. Dick Grnbb is also . Federal
office-holder. He is the collector of tbe
port of Darien. Mr. Clevel»-.d has inti
mated that sneh offloials, while they may
'"enjoy a robust partisanship,” ought not to
use about nominating conventions.
Bnt whether Mr. Cleveland would object
to Brother Grnbb or not, we again repeat
that any attempt at these taotics will result
in fnn for somebody.
The Mugwumps have already issued
orders on this subject. Tbo New York
Times uses this emphatio language:
"It is worth while to point ont that while
-a member of Mr. Cleveland's administration
thns recognizes the pledges of that admin
Istration against the spoils principle and
vindicates its adherence to that pledge, it
is not necessary or decent for subordinates
in the Federal service to devote their time
to officious manipulation of the "patron
age” they may be able to control for (he
purpose of fixing delegations or building np
machines.
tbe iilnstrions statesman on civil service
free trade. The purpose is obvions.
Colonel Lamar could have quoted tbe views
the dead statesman on . slavery with as
much propriety and practicability as he did
views ,n free trade, as far as the latter
applicable to tbe condition of the country
to-day. Free trade is a dead issne. For
praciioal purposes it is as dead as tbe in
stitution of slavery. Colonel Lamar marred
grand oration by tbe introduction of
irritating and extraneous matters. Tbo
great statesman was made a pillar to prop
crtaln undemocratic vagaries iu vogue
Washington, t ortnnate indeed will it be

Colonel Lamar used the language of tbe
great Carolinian to express bis own views
tbe jnstios end utility of free trade. As
one of tbe trusted lieutenants of President
Cleveland, it will be bard to make tbe conn,
understand that bis obief does not share
views.—Augusta Chronicle.
Colonel Walsh alters tbe protest copied
above. It will bo well indeed for Mr.
Cleveland if he shall steer very wide and
clear of free trade. Protection is tbe set

Let Us Have Another Letter.
All newspaperdom of this State was some
what exerolsed a few daya since by a letter
from Gov. Gordon containing some sharp
criticisms npon exeentlve officers in certain
localities. Tbe Governor was indignant,
and upon the oaae os presented by him was
entitled to be so.
It now transpires that other officers ot
the law in other portions of tbe State have
been indulging in some pnotleea calculated
to serionsly embarrass tbe chief exeentlve.
There is pending betweon South Carolina
and Georgia a matter of requisition delicate
and complicated. A police officer ot Angaa-
ta, accompanied by a citizen of Georgia,
wentaeross the border and kidnapped
citizen of Sooth Carolina. This has pro
duced strained relations between the two
8tates.
There can be no qaestlon bat that theso
men ehonid be delivered to the authorities of
Sonth Carolina, npon a proper requisition.
Yet it appears that an ancient indiotment
against the poiioe officer has been resur
rected and that the citizen ia now obargod
with tbe theft of a dog some time since.
And it is sought to protect these men, be
hind these processes, jumped up in an
emergency. Sonth Carolina has just
cause for complaint. Has not Georgia
also?
The Governor is reported as too sick
discharge the functions of bis office. In this
emergency, perhaps, it may be entirely
permissible for depnty Governor Nisbet
engineer another letter, Tbe colnmni
the TiLxuaxrn are at tbe aervice of the
exeentlve office.
Mr.
Ilabe Horses*
Now that the planters ot the South seem

every farmer can keep a brood mare or two

lb
is now called the long and short howl
It is possible that Mr. Lamar has a lean-
to free trade. He has been a college
professor, and all American eolleges
teach free trade. Then again, Mr. Lamar
an admirer of Mr. Calhoun, and
has been a faithful student of his works.
Bnt Mr. Lamar is too much of a statesman
and too little of an electrician to attempt to
galvanize a corpse. His oration would
have been incomplete if he had failed to
notice the change o! Mr, Calhoun from pro
tection to free trade. He might, however,
have noticed that Mr. Calhonn became a
free trader after slavery was seotionalized.
Bnt we eannot think that this indictment
OoL Walsh will hold good for its full
face valne. Mr. Lamar was discharging a
noble, bnt a delicate duty. He was speak
ing to the millions of people of a great
country. Ho could not pick soft places
and avoid rough ones.
His own "unconquerable intrepidity 1
when in the face of the frowns of friends
and constituents, he pronounced an eulogy
npon Charles Sumner, epentd the ears ot
the North to him, and on Tuesday last, tbe
results of his courage and prescience were
most admirably illustrated. He would des
pise us almost as much os we might despise
ourself it wo hod written, vindicated.
Courage and wisdom can never need vindi
cation.
Another slew of tbo oaso. We found
Lamar first, and dealt with him
not less conrteonsly than firmly. We can
not permit ontside Interference.

Wattereon'z Poetical Political Economy.
‘There is no ohsngo of opinion whatever
in Kentneky on this vital question. God
Almighty has made ns a tariff high enongh
for all the purposes ot protection in onr
soil and climate, whieh teem with nntold
riches. We need not to rob onr neighbors
in order to develop these rlohcs. They
will develop themselves. And when tbe
iron soepter puses to onr hands, os it will
in the great good Lord's own time, it will
not bo stained with the blood ot men, wo
men and children slain upon the altar*
the Money Devil; bnt, liko the sword ot the
spotless C> evoiitr, will "shine with the
splendor of Heaven’s best light," and will
be drawn alone In the causo of integrity
and freedom, tho cause of tho many who
toil as against the causo of tho few who
grind their millions ont of the bones of tho
poor."
This is simply beautiful and beantitully
simple. Editor Watterson can write real
flowery-like when ho Is in his moods. Bnt
we venture the wild gness that the iron
in onr mountains before the war, when we
had free trade, and nobody saw it deveiope
itself.
Natural advantages, Indeed) Trade
and capital and custom override natu
ral advantages with impunity. South
America has natnral advantages, and land
can be had there for the uking, all nicely
wrapped up in excellent olimate, and yet a
thousand acres is worth Imi than the privi
lege of paying taxes in this country because
the privilege indicates artificial advantages.
The way to play natural advantages for all
they are worth is to surround them with ar
tificial advantages. All things else being
equal natnral advantage* will win. Just as
fine whisky can be made in Georgia u in
Kentucky, and we have a natural advantage
in shorter winters and milder climate, but
the whisky ring combination, sided by the
internal revenue tax, will ait down upon
thMe advantagM until the prophecies are
fulfilled and the devil chained, and their
private efforts to develop will come about
untar success ass frog's efforts to swal
low himself. Even eggs have to be warmed
from without before they will hatch, u Ed
itor Watterson will learn by addreuing a
note to the lata Mr. Bntherford B. Hayes.
The Chevalier of ••Keeneene.**
In browsing and calling among onr ex
changes, we have fallen npon this gem
from tbe Charleston News and Courier: ,
It la teallj becoming Interesting. We have re
peatedly end cordially Invited the Augusts Chroni
cle, the Atlanta Constitution and Its Macon annex,
the Tklkoilafo, to state their position on tho ques
tion of restoring the duty on quinine, ss a prelimi
nary to taking the tax off of whisky, and not ono
has answered yet. The eagerness, indeed, with
which thay maintain a unanimous and profound si
lence on the subject la the moet striking feature of
the tariff discussion In Georgia. Ferhapa, however,
eech one ia waiting for the others' to answer. At
any n'e, the silence of ell Its very Interesting, not
say expressive.
For some weeks put the Angnsta Chron
icle has been wallowing tbe News and Con
ner abont in a bewildering style. And
now Chevalier Dawson, under the inspira
tion of the Calhonn festivities, rolls np bis
sleeves, jumps up, cracks hir heels togeth-
and offers to fight the Chronicle, Con
stitution and the Tklkoriph, all together,
with quinine pills. The Chevalier chooses
his weapons in advance. As for tho Tele-
obafh, it deolines tho fray, for divers and
satisfactory reasons. We do not propose
tackle Charleston in a fight with quinine
pills. Charleston live: on quinine. The
qninine cocktail leads tbe matutinal
menu, qninine papillotes grace the midday
meal in Charleston, and no Charlestonian
will dare seek his bed without paying his
respects to a qninine pnneh by way of
tattoo. The climate of Charleston and
quinine are inseparable. Why, even the
Charleston soil shakes! Again, quinine is
so thoroughly adulterated at present that
we have little or no respect tor it as a thera
peutic agent.
Beeides, it is not exactly in our depart
ment. We have pretty effectually dissi
pated Colonel Dargan and free trade con
ventions in South Carolina, and are pat
ting in some eff active work in onr ownbaii-
iwick. •
Indeed, yon can insnlt a man in this sec
tion now quicker by calling him a free
trader than a horse thief. This is' wrong,
for a free trader may be a good hnsband,
father, neighbor and citizen. We have
known men who conld neither read or write
to fill all these requirements honorably and
successfully.
But we can see no good reason why our
convert, tbe Gonstitntion, should not jump
on tbe Chevalier and wear him out. All
along tbe Fiedmont escarpment region
quinine is pronounced "keeneene," bnt
that shonid not interfere with the clrcns.
Tbe Constitution sometime since assumed
special charge of quinine in bulk, solution,
pellets and eapsnles. It claims to have
fixed its position on tho tariff schedule,
though by taro good luck Congressman
McKenxie, of Kentueky, got his bill through
in advance ot a hundred others that were
waiting.
We cannot interfere with tho field of onr
convert, ;nor can wo leg for it, in all tho
rows it may get into. It will have to learn
to take care ot Itself. Sundry squibs of
late in tho Georgia papers, suggest that it is
abont to slido book, bnt we do not entertain
tho suggestion. The two S-ims and the
Salvation Army may foil in permanent
work, bnt the oonverts ot the Teleobapu
always stick to tho true faith.
Some orude and away eff suggestions ot
riding behind may make it a little shy, jnst
now, bnt onr word for it, if the Chevalier
of “Keeneene" will roll down his sleevM
and roilnp his trousers, so that his talented
redsooks may be seen, the Constitntion
will charge him homo.

A JAMESTOWN FOIXTBB.
I would give yon a pointer, bnt I'm *’kinder"
ashamed to let any one know that I did not know
It before last week. Any bow, 1 guess one has to
learn; and a fellow cannot know everythin j, espec
ially at my youthful age Here’s what I’m after
telling: Jameatown, Virginia, Ison an Inland In the
Jamra river. Did yon know It waa an Island? Any
how I am consoled In not knowing about tbe island
by the fact that It la a mighty, doggoned, little
Island, at moat. There's an Interesting guide book
for sale on tbe boat from Norfolk to Richmond.
Speaking of this same Jameatown or James Cittle,
It say a: ••Here waa tbe first effectual settlement of
English In America, and here waa the first oaptul
of Ike colony, and the palaces of the royal govern
ors and council, who, with mimic pride, emulated
tbe grandeur, and pageantry of Wnltehall, The
rlttte waa laid off Into several fair stmts. In 1G19
tha first legislative assembly 1» America met In
Jamestown. In 1610 a Dutch ahip. from Africa,
arriving at Jams -town sold to tha colonists twenty
negro slaves. Thus waa laid tbe foundation of
negro slavery In Amarira. lu 1IM Jameatown waa
bnmt during tha civil war between the patriot
colonists under Bacon, and tha Royal Govarnor
Berkley. In 16JM* the capital of the colony waa
tratafarred to Williamsburg, and Jamestown went
into decay."
The only archttectnal relic In Jameatown, Is a
brick tower of a church, which la at tha extreme
left end of tbe Island, going toward Richmond.
Just beyond tha tower, are breastworks that were
erented by Major Allen, of O aremont, and were
occupied by the Con federate* until the evacuation
of Norfolk and the peninsula between tha James
and York rivers.
