THE RAILROAD CASES. Tho Supreme Court of the United States has granted the writ of habeas corpus asked for on the part of the attorneys for the State in the railroad cases,and a rule has been served on Simonton and the United States Marshal who arrested the sheriffs, requiring them to show cause before that body on the 27th of March why the said sheriffs should not lie discharged. The court has also decided to hear ar gument on the merits, and the whole matter of the legality of the tax imposed by the State, on the railroads will be heard and deter mined, as well as the right of a Federal court to restrain the arm of a sovereign State in collecting her taxes. The case has become a national one in importance as it affects alike all the States of the Union. The determination of the United States Court to hear the case on its merits is a surprise not only to laymen, but many of the best lawyers had no hope but that the application for the writ would be dismissed and the merits of'the case left untouched. In this matter Tillman stood alone, and but for his strong will and keen sense of the injustice of Simonton's proceedings it would never have gona up. To this last i.e. the injustice of Simonton's rulings, there could be little dis sent, but few men will undertake a task which even their friends oppose. The granting of the writ was probably altogether ex gratia on the part of the court, but all the same, the issues will be heard and Tillman will deserve the thanks of hi? people no matter what the result may be. A distinguished constitutional lawyer in this State has said that, 'if the Supreme Court decides in this case' that Simonton is wrong, as it did in the other ease, he will hay? no other alternative but to resign ano! give place to a wiser, if not a better man." THE BO>T>S PLACED. The visit of Gov. Tillman and State Treasurer Bates to Baltimore for. the. purpose of placing the State bonds was entirely success- j ful. The Baltimore Trust and Guarantee '" Company took the | whole amount, $5.250,000. Thus hae Tillman's administration, de spite his maligners and traducers, accomplished that which they said it was impossible for him to achieve. Only eight weeks until the open ing of the World's Fair at Chicago. ? Who goes from Edgefield? The University of Virginia is to | unveil a monument to the Cou fed erate dead it sent out. Well done. Josiah Quincy, just appointed Assistant Secretary of State, is the sixth* to bear that distinguished name. All of President Cleveland's Cabinet, except one, are said to be Presbyterians, and the President md Mrs. Cleveland are also of that raith. Headquarters of the National Alliance have been removed from Washington to Columbia, and Mr. ?).P. Duncan of this State putin!1 charge. .

Last week Congress passed the ar-coupler bill.

F I WASHINGTON, D. C., March ll.-A mugwump congressman from New York made some startling state ments to the Chronicle representa tive this morning. His disappoint ment at not being able to control certain patronage in has Atale, prompted him to divulge what would otherwise have remained a a secret until the proper time had arrived for the scheme to havel been carried out. It is a fact that Cleveland will oppose Crisp and it is also a fact that the New York congressmen will vote for an anti silver candidate. "Senator Irby will be chairman af one of the important senate committees," said Arthur P. Gorman to The Chronicle representative to night. Thie news, which reaches the public for the first time, and exclusively through the colums of The Chronicle will be very gratifying to Senator [roy's friends in Georgia and South Carolina. He had a long talk with Mr. Gorman this morn-1 ing, and took occasion to use some able bodied English. He bad learned, and correctly, that a bitter personal fight was being paged by his enemies, bo!h in Washington and at home, against] bis appointment to one of the! chairmanships, and proceeded forthwith to Mr. Gorman, chair nan of the Senate reorganization ?ommittee, for information, as veil as to state his side of the natter, whieh he did in language classic and forceful!. Senator Irby talked but a few niuutes before Senator Gorman rankly said "Mr. Irby, no matter j vhat opposition may be hurled iganist you, it is a settled fact hat you will be chairman of an mportant committee." Senator] jorman and Senator Irby have Deen quite intimate if not cordial, unce the latter entered the senate, md it is due ?probably to Mr. aorman more than anybody else ;hat the young Carolinian is to be so promiuenty recognized. Senator Irby called at the white louse today at 2 o'clock and was in conference with the Presideut tormore than half an hour. He leclined to state the purposes of nterview, but with his * usual imile said : "Our friends, the enemy, in 3outh Carolina will have some fo^g^ short i ?me^wat will surprise them"f'"So t is a fact certain that the Caro ina patronage will be divided qually between the two factions. . Incidentally it can be stated plough the impression is urrent thaTBeir^jry, of Green ille, is to be collector for South Jarolina, he will njt receive the ppointment. This information is rom an unusually high sou ree nd thoroughly reliable. Maj. (lack is putting in some good rork for Maj. Gary. Senator rby, Mr. Livingston and Maj. Hack along with Maj. Gary, ailed on the attorney general to ay and were cordially received, laj. Gary has a good lead over he whole field. The leaders of the South Caro ma reform movement tnat assena-1J led in Washington during tho nauguration, seemed to have had nore important business than ight-seeing. The rank and file of he reform movement in the state ave, to all appearances, been sat sfied with the leadership of Till - aan and Irby, but not so with ome of the- lieutenants. One of he state officials announced to a upposed enemy of Gov. Tillman nd Senator Irby that the fol lowing combination- had been greed upon. Congressman Shell rho signed the prepared manifesto a 1890, and who all at once ecently became so disgusted with he politics and politicians that he lad himself interviewed announc ng his retirement from politics is o be the anti-Tillman candidate orgovernor posing as a healing ?laster between the two factions. Senator Butler is to bc their candi late for re-election, Gen. Farley is o succeed Shell in Congress. Mr. Talbert is to have no opposition rom the conservative faction for Congress and is to receive the ?anservative support. The position of adjutant general s said to have been offered Capt. C H. Tillman, eldest son of Con gressman Tillman, but it is likely be will not accept. This statement is not a conjecture but an absolute fact, if the prominent gentleman >.n question can be relied on. All the recommendations for fedaral positions substantiate what has been said. Senator Butler is making every effort to have the notorious lyncher, Caughraan, of Lexington, appointed reading clerk of the United States Senate. He now holds the office of fish com missioner by appointment from Governor Tillman but for the sake of being rending clerk bas is renounced bis allegiance to the re j I I 1( 1 Vi IM ?3 B< Pi G; N bi M d( P< R P 0 orm movement. The supposed reachery of Congressman Shell tas xecited universal indignation nd dis g^st among the reformers. I lively times'are ahead in South karolina politics and .the cam laign of 1893 promises new and nteresting phases. CRADDOCK. It is not always the man that Doks like a fool that is one.

Sold by all country stores. L A. GABDELLB, Druggist, Proprietor & Manuf r, ATJQ-TJSTA, - Q-A. M -THE Union Mutual Life Insurance Company, OF .pO^TT-iAl?TZf, TVTATNTB. Incorporated, 1848. Its Policies are the Most Liberal Now Offered to the Public. Is the only existing Company whose policies are, o; can be subject to the MAINE NON-FORFEITURE LAW. -WHAT IT IS. The Maine Non-Forfeiture law protects policies from forfeiture by reason of default of payment of premiums. It provides that, a?ter three years' premiums have been paid, failure to pay any subsequent pr-miums shall not forfeit a policy, but it shall continue in force for its full amount until the reserve (lees a small surrender charge) upon the policy is exhausted. The reserve is a sum made up of portions of each and every pre-,, mium paid upon a policy in anticipation of its maturity. Beginning with a small portion of the first premium, it is increased each yearby the addition of each subsequent premium, and grows larger year by year, until, at maturity, it exactly equalB the face of the policv. When a policy is discontinued therefore, there is in the hands of tho Com pany a reserve, greater or less, according to the character and age ' of the policy. Instead of permitting the Company, upon non-payment of premium, to confiscate this reserve, the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law . requires the Company to continue the policy in force until the policy holder receives an equivalent for it in extended insurance. How IT WORKS. If apernon, aged 35, pays three years' premiums upon a twenty payment Life policy and then discontinues pay-nent, the policy wil . be continued 4 years and 257 days longer; if he pays five premiums, and then discontinues, the insurance will continue 7 years and 357 days longer. If the policy is a twenty year endowment, same age, three years' payments will give an extension of 8 years and 150days; five years' payment 13 years, 300 days. If the policy is a 15 Year Endowment, ($1,000) same age, three years' payments will secure insurance to the end of * the endowment period and $13.68 in cash if insured lives till that time, and in like manner ten years' payments secures insurance for the full 15 years and $592.17 in cash. These extensions vary with the age of the insured, the class of policy, and the number _oj. payments made; they- are statedsjn, Q*"^ 'policyri?f years and days, ioT?acn number of payments, so that the policy-holder knows ata glance exactly what he is,en titled to if he discontinues his payments at any time. What It Has Done. The Company Has Paid over Two Hundred Death Claims, in con sequence of this law, aggregating in sums insured more than Four Hundred Thousand Dollars. In every case there had been a default in *he payment of pre mium, and, except for this law, the policies would have been of little or no value. Instead of this, the insurance in each case was extended to the time of death, and the Company was required to pay to the beneficiaries under the policies the sum of $418,335.77. ie Yalne o? Mie. Law Extensions as Comparefl WITH JPAXU-TJF "V^LXJTJES. It is the custom of many companies to provide in their policies that, upon discontinuance of payment of Premium, paid-up policies will be given, without the option of extension. This was the practice of the Union Mutual before the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law was en acted, but i.t now substitutes for paid-up values the more advantage ous plan of extended insurance. The objection to the paid-up System is that the amount of paid-up insurance which is given upon the dis continuance of payments upon a policy, unless it bas been in force a great many years, is insignificant, and of little or no valuo as protec tion ; and it leaves the insured who ceases payment without adequate insurance at tho very time he needs it the most. The great advantage of the extended insurance afforded by the Maine Law over the most liberal paid-up system is strikingly shown by the following comparison, and it will be observed that the paid-up value is insignificant in comparison with the amount actually paid by the Union Mutual. The result of two hundred aud twelve policies was this : If the insured had received paid-up policies instead of ex tended insurance, the Company would have had to pay in settlement of the claims only. $98,197.50 Whereas, in fact, it did pay under the Maine Law, $418,344.77 Making a difference in favor of the beneficiaries under Two Hundred and Twelve po?iciei of $320,147.28 The policies are free from edi restrictions, and incontestible after ONE YEAR. A grace of one month is given in the payment of premiums. For further information call on, or address, B. B. EVANS, Manager for South Carolina, Office, No. 1, Advertiser Building,
