Heyward is io demand at com mencement exercises and educational rallies. If he does nothing else dur ing his term of office hut encourage education his administration will not have been in vain. Postmaster General Payne has an nounced that no more rural mail de livery routes will bc established until the beginning of tho next tiscal year. He is of the opinion that these routes are being established too rapidly for good of the service. - . . - . - - . - Tlie Atlanta Journal very truly re marks that thc time is rapidly drawing near, if newspaper reports are reliable, when thc South will be forced to in vade the North to protect the negro from mob violence. Indiana and Illi nois seem to he doing their beet to hasten the day, too. Thc supreme court of the United States has handed down a decision in which it is held that the statute pun ishing persons who bribe parties pro tected under thc fifteenth amendment is unconstitutional. A person in Kentucky was charged with having bribed a negro voter, and the decision of the supreme court is that tho Fed eral statutes cannot cover this offense. The peoplo of the North oro begin ning to soo the raoo question in its true light, and aro becoming rational on the subject. Tho South can bo depended upon to treat the negro right and encourage and aid him to better his condition in an industrial and moral way, but she docs net intend to entrust him with political power, it makes no difference who it rieuses ?r disploases. A few days ago at Columbus, Ohio, tho veterans of the G. A. H. refus'd to decorate tho graves of the Confed erate eoldiers buried there or to allow it to be done. Quite a contrast up there and dowe hero. Every year in this city wheo Memorial Day rolls around tho graves of the few Federal soldiers buried in tho Churchyard* nore aro as tastefully and beautifully decorated by our noble women aa the graves of our own Bleeping heroes. W. B. Smith Whaley, president of three large cotton mills in Columbia and builder of macy mills in the South and Wost anticipates a general ohut-dowo in New England and many southern mills heoauso of the high prioe of cotton and low price of cloth. By selling cotton on hand, he says, the mills can make $15 per bale profit, while the loss to manufacture it would bo $15 a bale. He says : "gooda must go up or cotton come down." The mills io and around Auderson have auffioiont cotton to do them until the next orop, and nono of them expect to close down. ?o ?cat Sunday's" is?Ue of .the Spatf tanburg Herald, Brother (JarliugtODj its genial ?hd ?ooOlt?.lftwl BaU?r, ?as a moat timely Ana bl?udent edi torial on ititi bub)ed of "Nursing Wrath/* willoh wo will reproduce io the next issue of The Intelligencer. It would he well for all of Us to study thia subjeot and take to heart the les oon'of forgiveness. Those who foster jealousy and envy are thoir bitterest enemies, and the heart that is free ?roin those things experiences a f?>eh> lng of freedom for it belongs to God* With our hearts free from tiUVy and anger wo know what peace and con tentment are and become more Christ like. Revenge is a sin that makes him who entertains it unhappy and miserable. At the recent sessiou of the Dioce san Council of tho Episcopal Church in Colurabii it was decided to estab lish a F male College or Seminary in South Carolina. Thero was no inti mation where the institution would be located, but we presume that those in oharge of it could bo induced to locate it in any town or city that would offer the greatest inducements. Therefore it might not bc amiss for Anderson to think about the advisa bility of offering inducements whioh might cause the institution to be located here. We have a fine property in our city suitable for such an insti tution, and we believe cur -hole peo ple, regardless of denominations, ?re liberal and public spirited gnough to give substantial assistance to an edu cational institution that would be of great benefit to the city and this sec tion of the State. Anderson has showh what she could do on former occasions when work and money was required. We believe Anderson oould get this seminary if her public spirit ed citizens would go to work at ouoe, and we suggest that our Chamber of Commerce take thc matter in hand and seo what can bo done. Kev. Geo. H. Waddell, publisher of tho Southern Christiao Advocate, han organized u joint stuck company aud purchased the plant ol Tho Spartan burg Herald. The company will pub lish the daily and weekly Herald, the Piedmont Headlight and thc Southern Christian Advocate. Among the stockholders is our fellow-townsman, H. S. Hill. Mr. Waddell will bo the business manager of thc Company, and is well qualified for the position. Wo hope the change in Tho Herald will not mean the retirement from tho edi torial chair of our* good friend, Editor Garlington, who has few equals in Southern journalism. Mr. Garlington not only wields a fluent, eloquent pen, but is a fearless writer, with high ideals, and never hesitates to expreB^ his opinion on any subject before thc people. The post?nico scandal seems to b( spreading by leaps and houuds. Post master General Payne wishes he hat I never begun using the probe. OUR WASHINGTON I, KITER. ?>pcc?(tl t 'oyt't'sj/oitdi net of InteUUjvHcer Washington, J). C., May 1!), VMi. The people of the United S tates huv n Htrcuuoiis President in thu Whit House, ?md hu also is a very cost); proposition when you come to conn ibu dollars he hus cost tho taxpayer of thc* country since ho entered th mansion of thu chief executive of th nation. Asido from tilcha If a millie! dollars it has cost to repair and refur nish tho building during tho past yeal thc cost of maintaining tho establish munt has increased enormously. Thur was ?05,000 spent on a presidents ollico building, directly to thu west o thu White House, and members o Congress who have expressed nn opin ion ot it say that it looks like a stablt lt certainly is about tho orneriest look ing aila ir tor timothee of thu chief exe cutive of a great nation to have cost s much money that any man ever Hau On first beholding it nearly ovury nm says to himself that if that little chues box cost ?05,000, then some man cei taiuly got in bis graft good and bau Then there are other expenditures ttw thu peoplu of tho country never hear' in connection with Roosevelt's shoi occupancy ot tho White House. Thei has been an inereasu in tho running ej penses of the White House, since tl Koosevelt advent, of over $2.~>,000 year; new furniture and Uttings for tl "Mayllower1' (the President's y nen over $100,000; the cost of keeping tl "Mayflower" in commission for tw mouths last year, about $15,000; repai: and relit!ing the "Mayflower" last ye? about $34,000; repairs and refitting tl "Mayllower11 this year about fj?yo,OOi AU this with the half million dolla spent on the White House makes ni proximately about ?700,000 that ti strenuous President lias cost thu ta: payers of the country morty than ho < any man in his position should lm\ cost them. There wore a low thousnn dollars left over from tho approprh tion to lix up the White House une: pended after the work was tinishei and plans immediately wero put j operation to get rid of this amount bi foro tho cud of the fiscal year, Juno 8 next.

Fine in ported green bay trees costing ove $800 each have been placed on top c the east entrance to the White Houe until it resembles nothing so much as beer garden on a roof in the height c the season.

It virtually Hay? that any state may do UH it pleases in a sov ereign matter of t his character, and tho decision will tend Lo clarity the situa tion respecting negro suffrage in all tho states of tho South, and probably will put an end to other tent cases. If so, it is believed here that it will have a far-reaching ett'ect for good in the whole country and go fur toward the settlement or the so-called negro prob lem. It simply means that the South ern people are the agency through which the question of the negro's fu ture can be solved, and that the first step toward satisfactory settlement is found in disfranchisement. It means that the negro must first be eliminated from politics. That accomplished, the white people of .he South can seek, by industrial development, thu betterment of the black race, which shall not only redound to tho advantage of the color ed people, but the whites of tho South as well. Thu written opinion of Mr. Justice Holmes contains a diccussion of the question how far a court of equity ought to go in attempt inj; to redress political wrongs, and it arrives at tho conclusion that such a court properly has no such pawer-that for the court to undertake such juiisdiction would amount in tho end to the administra tion of tho government by the court, and puts the whole question up to tho Congress. Some people hero believe that this decision will be un incentivo for Crumpacker and others of his ilk to get busy again and endeavor to have their pet measure put through reduc ing tho representation of thc states of tim South which have curtailed tho ne gro vote. If they do it will provo a precious boon to the democracy in tho next prent hatti? of the ballots. The people of tho country simply will not stand for it, ns was evidenced by tho sweeping democratic victories of 1874 and isito after the attempt to put through tho fbrco bills. Tim republi cans ai o not looking for that kiud of an issue. Attorney General Knox is in a quan dary. Ile is like tho fellow who was drunk und was hugging tho lamp-post. If holet go ho would fall, and if ho held on bo would freeze. Mr. Knox has shown that a successful prosecu tion of tho trusts can bo conducted, and he doesn't wont to inj uro the trusts. They are creatures of tho republican farty, and the party is their creatures, f tho party is going to turu against its friends there is going to bo trouble. If Mr. Knox does not go oe the people will make lifo a burden for him, una if ho does go on tho trusts will smash him. Aud that's what's the matter with Knox. Ono effect that tho rottenness in pub lic oilice under republican administra tion is going to have, is that it will re vive tho necessity for a democratic platform next year modeled after that of 1?70, on which Samuel J. Tilden was nominated and elected. That plat form called for reform in almost every paragraph. There Is an much neces sity for reform new as there was then, and it seems to be the consensus of democratic opiniou here thatt' o cry of reform will be one of tho issues iu- the next campaign. If tho honest men of tho nation, regardless of polities, could be made to uuderstand tho conditions hero in many of the departments, they would sweep tho republican party out of oflico on the cry of reform alone and with no other issue in the campaign Charles A.
