Tillman Has it Changed.
«
Columbia, Sept 17 —This week'*
prooeediuga opened with a sensat.su of
no small magnitude in the coustitn-
tioual convention now In session in this
oity.
Monday, there was a most exciting
fit between Senator Tillman and his
brother George D. Tillman on the ques
tion of naming a new oouuty. George
D Tillman, on ttetorday, had succeed-
ed in getting the county named But
ler. Senator Tillman was absent at
the time, and on' returning he moved
to change the name to Saluda. In a
passionate speech he charged Senator
Butler with txlug a traitor to the par
ty, and said that.to name a county af
ter him was an insult to the reformers
of the state.
George D. Tillman, in reply, taxed
his brother with fighting a man whom
he had defeated, aud dramatically a trie-
lug his breast, exclaimed:
"Tbauk God, there is no sentiment in
my heart that would make me stoop so
low. ”
The scene became extremely exciting
aud the convention was iu wild cuu-
fusion, whion continued until adjourn
ment at 4:10 p. m.
Senator Tillman, inhisspeeoh, taunt
ed Seuator Irby with not replying to
his brother, G. D. Tillman, on Satur
day aud Irby, in a hot speech, de-
uonuoed Tillman for stirring up strife

with ill grace from a man to hound his
fallen foe and declared that Butler in

i New York, Sept 14.—Developments
bearing upon the prices of Stock Ex
change securities were again operative
during the day, causing extreme activ
ity in the de dings attended by pro
nounced weakness. Cairn reflection
overnight on the part of the financial
community at large resulted iu a oou
vietton that the general outlook was
such as to warrant decided caution.
Outside holders of securities Were uot
disposed to risk the possibility of heavy
liquidation in apprehension of large
withdrawals of gold for shipment next
week.
Up to the close of business for the
the week, no news of contempt tied ex
ports for next week had been reported,
neither had any 'farther deposits of
gold by the banks or the syndics e been
made. The exchange market snowed
no reflection of the heavy outgo of gold
aside from an insignificant fractional
decline in the rate for demand sterling.
The unsettling influence of the gold
exports, probabilities and discussion on
the treasury situation was snpp o neat
ed by rumors of pending advance in
the money market. Thus far tho ft: mer
tendency of money rates has only Ixen
indicated on small loans.

When Mie Will Crush the Cuban*.
Washington, Sept. 14—Senor Du-
pay ds Lome, Spanish minister to the
United States, expressed the opinion
that the rebellion in Cuba is sure to be
crushed. It is impossible, lie added, to
say just when, because of the condi
tions that exist iu the island. The
minister characterizes the metnodsem-
p oyed by the rebels as guerilla war
fare and declares that it will be impos
sible to have a decisive battle under
euoh conditions. A great deal of mil-
information, he said, has been sent out
by the rebels.
“It is easy to account for the methods
now employed by the Spanish govern
ment,” said the minister. "The clim
atic conditions of Cuba are very pecul
iar. July, August aud September are
the three great generals^for the rebels.
Two are dead and the third is fast
dying. These months iuclude the rainy
sea-on in Cuba and the most unheal hy
for the Spanish troops. It is impossible
to carry on suoc< ss ally a warfare
amidst pouring rains. But the Spanish
government has been preparing for an
aoiive campaign.
The second corps of 25,000 men has
been landed in Cuba. It is probable,
that active movements will not begin
however, until the first of October, or
until some time daring that month, ac-
oording-to the conditions of the weath
er. It is some times asked why troops
are now landed in Cuba, when they are
not to be called into active service for
some time yet.
"The answer is plain. FromSapt. 20
until Nov. 20 is the cyclone season in
the West Indies and there is great dif
ficulty in transporting troops, as well as
great danger of loss of life. Before
the twentieth of September all the
troops necessary to crush the rebellion
will be landed, and as soou as the rainy
season is over, an active and vigorous
campaign will begin. There can be no
doubt as to the outcome. The small
force under the insurrectionists will be
scattered and the rebellion ended.”
Professor Amos G. Warner Writes an
Interesting Article on The
Treatment of Prisoners.
Denver, Sept. 17 —A sensation has
been created in the prison oougre-s by
a paper on ’'Politics and Crime, ” writ
ten by Amos G. Warner, piofessor of
economics and social science in ths Be
laud Stanford university of California,
aud read by John N. Dry den of Kearn
ey, Neb.
"If the sta'e itself is under the
influence of criminals,” said the doe-
tor, boldly plunging into his subject,
“how can it hope to reform criminals ?
Setting a thiei to catch a thief was an
oldtime doctrine, but the plan of set
ting a thief to reform a thief has never
yet been defended
"The representatives of the state
with which criminals are most fre
queutly brought into contact, are po
licemen, police justices, sheriffs, sher
iffs’ deputies aud jail keepers, ouly a
snade it at ail butter than tue criminals
themselves. The hope of cure oi crim
inals largely lies in curative treatment
in the early stages. Petty offenders
and those on the verge of criminality
in the large cities seldom or never get
beyond tins line ot guards aud live
more or less in the»r presence. The
police to them represent the slate.”
The proles-or illustrated his meaning
by giving detailsui tne treatment given
tramps, gamblers, prostitutes and the
cnmiual classes generally. The papers
started a warm discussion and brought
out a number of protests.
Warden W. E. Hale, of San Qncutin,
Cal., who for six years prior to assum
ing charge ot the prison had been
sheriff of Alameda county, said that ha
wanted to brand some of the allega
tions as to corruption iu California as
falsehoods.
Mr. Hale thought it was shameful
for a man of the standing of the pro
fessor to make suoh sweeping and gen

Opinion of an Expert.
Which will win?
In sea and wind, Defender, sure.
In light winds and roll of sea, De
fender.
In moderate breezes—Valkyrie's beet
chance—toss np. Defender has none the
worst of it
In light winds, smooth water, very
close. Sixes and eixee. Can't call the
turn.
Will Defender win three straight
heats?
Yes, if she has wind and sea and ev
erything stands. There may be u break
in light winds and smooth water.
In a sea aud light winds the Defender
should win out thrice under these con-
diitons.
The start will almost have as much
to do with tho result as the weather. If
the Defender gets caught under the .
Valkyrie Ill’s lee—well, there will be j
some hair singeing to get out. Snch
are my opinions, given jnst like other
people, and like all things that mortal
man does, they may be wide of the
mark.—A. G. McVey lu New York

Dr. Spitzka, tho insanity expert, ha»
replied to Max Nordau’s literary fan
faronade and shows that the Austrian is
not a medical expert at all, and that
bis boasted knowledge is largely imag
inary. If Nordau keeps at it, perhaps
in the end he will come into Dr. Spitx-
ka’s hands in a professional way, as
there are signs of a disease abroad which
may be termed Nordauism, and the
worst bitten man is the great iconoclast
himself. —Philadelphia Frees.
