We have decided views on all questions of public interest, and we exp e is them in language not to be misunderstood. While we are as strong in our support of the principles of the Reform wing of the Democratic party as any one in it, end rscogaize ' ** j. Senator Tillman as its leader, yei we do not propose to sneeze every time he takes snufif. Much in his political | career we find to censure. He has made many grave political blunders, which, under a normal condition cf the public mind, would have hurled hi m from t he high plice he occupies in the counsels of his party. Notwithstanding these mistakes, we believe his heart to be right on matters touching the interests of the people, and beiDg a man of an unusual high order of genius and brilliant attainments, he is pecularly fitted by naond a/lnofltmn tn be a leader of L VUiV UAiVt V>4 MVMV?V? ? ? ? men, the controller of circumstances and the directcr of affairs. As we have said before, in bis triumphs we have gloried; in his successes we have taken pride, and in the honors which have been heaped upon him as a recognition of his ability and fitness as a leader, we have been proud. In espousing his cause in the past we have nothing to regret; nothing to be ashamed of. In advocating it the future, as we have in the past, we propose to be governed entirely by what, in our judgment, is for the best interests of the people, defending the policies of the leaders of the Reform wing when we can consistently do so, otherwise opposing them. In other words upholding the light and condemning tbe wrong, hewing | I strait to the line and letting the chips fall where they may. * In the discussion of questions of a public nature, in the settlement of which the people are concerned and in the discussion of which they should take a deep interest, it goes without saying that we are only giving expression to our own individual opin * ~i - ? ions. As it is human to err, and as we are human, it is possible, in forming our opinions, for our judgment to lead us astray, and for our views to be erroneous. "We lay no claim whatever to infallibility. Agitation is the best means for the education of the masses upon any given I subject. It is the vehicle for the conveyance of a multitude of thoughts, ideas and views, an intelligent dissection of which will aid, assist and* help in the formation of correct opinions and in arriving at logical conclusions. For these reasons we cordially invite criticism of our posi tion on any issue, or the expression of opinion upon any question. "We try to be as correct as we possibly can, and form our views only after a careful study of tbe subject; but we are liable to make mistakes even after beiDg so careful. We will treat those who may happen to differ with us with due consideration, the utmost kindness and all courtesy, and will only strike back when struck and then, not in anger but in self defense. By a vote of 244 to 27, the House of Representatives adopted the Senate's concurrent resolution recogniz rng the belligerent rights of the Cuban insurgents. Col. Wm. Elliott, now representing the First Congress * T\ I < il 1 f? lonat JLUstncr, was tne omy one 01 our Congressmen who voted against the adoption of the resolution. It now goes to the President for his signature or veto. What action he will take on it is, of course, only conjecture, but the indications are that he will carefully ascertain the facts before taking final action; the proba bilities are against the approval'of the resolution by the President By the adoption of the resolution Spain has been stirred from center to circumference, the press of that country being particularly severe and bitter in its denunciation of the United States. The following are the resolutions as sent to the President: "In the cpiuion of congress a condition of public war exists'oet ween the government of Spain and the government proclaimed and for some time maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba; and that the United t ~ , i. ? i J ^ ~* ui n.ixiurx<;a miuuiu ixmiuuiiu a 5 tusi 1 neutrality between the contending powers according to each all the rights belligerents in the ports and territory of the United States. That the friendly offices of the United States should be offered bv * the President to the Spanish governn2enf for the recognition of the independence of * C iba." Senator Tillman started bis Presidential boom at Lexington, Ky., April 11, in a two hours' speech, before an immense and enthusiastic audience of over a thousand persons. His reception was an ovation, and his views on the financial issue was wildly cheered and he swayed his 0 ^ audience as no man lias yet moved it. In the course of his remaiks ho expressed the opinion that the National convention would be contrclied ; by the silverites, and hence a bolt is unnecessary. The sub committee of the House ! committee on privileges and elections, having heard the contested q election case of Johnson vs. Stokes <3 from this District, has made a re- r, port to the whole committee recom- ^ mending the seating of Dr. Stokes, jj This practically settles the case as the almost invariable custom of t the House is to adopt the report of { the committee. We extend our heart- E iest congratulations to the people of & this District on the victory of Dr. t and we are ^ratified to know ; that the committee, having a Repub- t lican majority, has risen above parti- \ zen feelings, and decided the case en t its merits, giving the seat to the one t who was honestly and fairly elected and by such a majority that there j were absolutely no grounds for a ( contest. \ The same committee has reversed j its former conclusion in the Murray- j Elliott contest and has submitted it3 ( report in favor of seating Murray. t < We would be deeply indebted to ( some of those who are clamoring so ( lnsfilv fnr a bolt, to name a siDgle , instance in which any good ever came of bolting the party nominations? Just let your memory turn back over ( the history of past bolts, and it will ( invariably be found that the cause ^ for which the bolt was made has been the sufferer. Yet we are told by men whose enthusiasm has apparently run away with their judgment j that a bolt from the National party is the only salvation for silver. The silver men can control the next Dem- , ocratic National party if they will ( make the fight within the party lines. It is possible for them to adopt ( a platform, entirely favorable to the ( free coinage of silver, and nominate candidates who will be faithful to the commands of the people. The Democratic party of Maine, 5 havmg deciarea lor silver at me rano ( of 16 to 1, a number who favor the i financial policy of President Cleve land, have nominated an independent cand:date for Congress from the Second District in opposition to the regular nominee. Let the Democrats of South Carolina stand firm in their allegiance to their party, for the ? friends of silver will certainly con- ] trol the National convention. ' < The Democrats in many Western 3 and Southern States have made tho 1 fight for silver within the party lines I and in every case have won a glori- < ous victory. In a recent primary election in Alabama for delegates to the State Democratic Convention the silver Democrats carried the State overwhelmingly for Johnson, the avowed bimetallism and silver. This result is considered a great victory and the silver men of that State are celebrating it with much enthusiasm. General John D. Kennedy, died suddenly at his home in Camden at 12:30 o'clock yesterday mornirg of apoplexy, in the 5fith year of his age. Gen. Kennedy was a gallant and brave soldier in the Confederate war; a gifted and distinguished son of South Carolina, and a devoted and patriotic citizen.

The new State Liquor Board of ontrol, through its Chairman and eeretarv, has issued a new set of tiles to the county dispensers clearly efining their duties under the new iw. It is evidently the purpose of this Soard to correct the evils in the sysem inaugurated under the manageaent of the present Liquor Commisioner in furtherance of his object to o make the selling of liquors by the ftate a means of increasing her rev nues, and the carrying out of which las made the system very offensive ,o many who were inclined to look ipon it with favor. Beyond the possibility of a successful contradiction t can be safely asserted that the sale )f liquor under the dispensary sys:em has not been made according to ;he provisions of the law. Many of :hese violations of the law were doubtless the results of erroneous md misleading instructions given the lispensers whose duty it was to obey the law themselves, and to see that others, dispensers as well as citizens, obeyed it. The new orders to the dispensers ire stringent in reference to their iuties and positive and mandatory, sven threatening, in tone, and c >11 for a faithful compliance with all the provisions of the law tending to the restriction of the sale of liquors. We are gratified to notice that the Board is so earnest in its determination to devote more attention to the moral features of the law than to the idea that the State assumed control of the liquor traffic solely as i means of raising a revenue, and in their efforts to carry out their laudable undertaking the Board should, and doubtless will, receive the sup port and encouragement of every person who really and truly desires to see much of the evil arising from the habit of using intoxicating liquors as a beverage corrected, and accept the dispensary system as a means to that end.

On the night of February 27,1896, the angel of death visited the happy home of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Meetze and snatched away the sweet soul of their daughter, Mary Olivia. Rarely are we called upon to mourn the loss of a young lady possessed of so manv attributes of character. How noble, how truly great, and benevolent, her deeds of charity are known to every one who enjoyed the pleasure of her acquaintance; her pastor bore testimony of this in the selection of the text upon which he based the well chosen remarks in his eulogy over her remains: "Thy gentleness hath made me great," II Samuel 22, 36. She wa3 a faithful member and ardent worker in St Stephen Evangelical Lutheran church, in which she served as organist seven successive years. Two years 6he was Recording Secretary for the Woman's Aid Society of this church, dating from the first election of officers, she beinsr one of the twelve charter mem O bers of this society, and remained a cheerful and willing worker to her death. "While we recognize the wisdom of Almighty God, and bow submissively to this dispensation of his will, which hath so sorely bereft us; yet it seems strange that she should, after having labored so assidiously in the interest of the new temple which she hoped so soon to realize, be taken just at its consumption. With her death many a cherished hope was shattered, not only in her home will she be missed, where she was loved so dearly; but in the church, where she was an earnest worker, and in society to which she was an ornament. Verily, she acted well her part upon this stage of life, as the curtain of death went down upon the last scene, it arises for her to reappear happier in a more glorious realm where all is peace and love. She leaves behind her a life and devotion indelibly stamped upon the i 1- j u:..u nearis 01 loveu utes wuiw uiu uoci be erased. Tbe choice and beautiful flowers which adorned her casket expressed in unspoken language her lovliness of character, the snow white lily exemplified her purity, the sweet violet her modesty, the exquisite blue hyacinth her constancy, the fern her sincerity; here we recall the words of her pastor uIn all things she was sincere," the heliotrope her devotion the sweet elyssium was suggestive of her heavenly home, and the evergreen wreath of her eternity. Dreary and sad was the day she wa9 laid to rest, dismal and lone, Oh! so lonely the grave, inexpressible the aching in the hearts of her loved ones as they turned to the home from which she had gone out forever. "Go to the grave in all thy early prime; In fnll activity of zeal and power; A Christian cannot die before his time, The Lord'f appointment is th9 servant's hour." One Who Loved Her. In Memoriam. "For none return from those silent shores, Who cross with the boatman cold and pale ; We hear the dip of the golden oars, And catch a gleam of the snowy sail? And lo, they hare passed from our yearning heart, They cross the stream, and are gone for aye. We may not sunder the veil apart, That hides front our vision the gates of day. * * Yet somewhere, I know, on the unseen shore? They watch and beckon and wait for me." At noontide, when the sunshine was gilcliDg the earth with a flood of golden glory, within the stricken home of Mr...and Mrs. James E. ? - - . "*r Kawl, loved ones, paster and friends, with tear-dimmed eyes and bated breath, watched beside one of God's children whose dying eyes were already beholding the glory unspeakable of her heavenly home. Mrs. Sally Hendrix Snelgrove, the subject of this imperfect sketch, fell asleep in Jesus on Monday, March 2nd, 189G, aged thirty-four years. Though her life was short, she had drunk deeply of the cup of sorrow and suffering, and those who knew and loved her best, and whose hearts ache for the sound of her voice and the touch of her wasted hand, feel a chastened joy that the burning fever and racking cough of her dread malady are past, and that she is, as she so often desired to be, "safe in r the arms of Jesus.'' ller life, though a brief one, was full of good deeds. ? In her home her skillful hands minisi tered to the wants of her loved ones ? uDtil God bade her cease, aud beau tiful specimens of her needlework in ! other homes, bear silent witness to i? i ? 11 1.!.?..!.,?? t? ner lUYUJg muujjmjuiiJCBa lui uiucis. To her stepfather and his sods she i was a true daughter and sister. Repeatedly she thanked the former for his untiring kiuduesa to her. To i her now childless mother, and to her , own dear son, her only child, she was ^ unspeakably precious, the light and joy of their lives. Her love for her boy made her tender and gentle to all children, and the tears and sobs r of little girls and boys, as they looked * their last upon her sweet face, love k speaking testimony to the affection i they felt for her. Long after disease had weakened her body she actively engaged in all the work of her beloved Lutheran church. Her class of little gills in the Sunday school, and her work in the Ladies' Aid Society were especially dear to her. The members of the latter remember how faithfully she performed her duties as Recording Secretary, when her strength was all insufficient for her work, and when her feeble voice could scarcely be heard in a large room. At a meeting of this society since her death, our loved president spoke most feelingly and beautifully of her loving service for her Master, dwelling upon these words of Longfellow: "What seem to us but sad funeral ta May be heaven's distant lamps." and speaking of two of our best and dearest members who went home almost hand in hand, as bright and shining lamps in "the land beyond the sunset." Those of us who arevspared to worship in our prospective new church, will sadly miss those two cherished ones, Mrs. Snelgrove and Miss Mollie Meetze, who so willingly gave their strength and means for the promotion of its interests. Though having so many strong and tender ties to bind her to earth, the subject of this paper, frequently ex pressed to her dear ones, and to her beloved pastor her readiness, yea her impatience "to depart and be with Christ." Rich in the love of relatives and friends, and sorrowing when they grieved for her, she calmly arranged her earthly affairs and longingly awaited her summons to her eternal home. She selected her pall bearers, and requested the hymn, "Nearer my God to Thee," to be sung at her funeral services. Death had fthsnlntolv Tin tprrnra fnr her. nnd only a few hours before the end she whispered to a friend. "I am not alone, God is with me." Even in her last hours she thanked the watchers beside her bed-side for their kindness to her, urging them to rest and sleep, invariably requesting them earnestly to "comfort mama and son when I am gone." Her pastor spoke in touching and comforting terms, in his funeral discourse, of her many Christian graces, saying that those rarest and loveliest traits, humility and patience were predominant in l-ipr ISfp A Uirnro rnnoTpnrotinn ~ ? o ercd to pay its last tribute of affection to li6r memory, and with many tears, we left her quietly sleeping 'neath the flower covered mound in St. Stephens Gods' acre.
