Theo dore Q. Barker, but we cannot help thinking he made a mis take when he precipitated the dramatic episode between Sen ator Tillman and himself which occurred at the conclusion of the bitter debate they had on Thursday night concerning the short-comings of the city of Charleston. According to the newspaper report: “Major Barker walked to Senator Tillman’s desk and shook hands with him. As soon as the incident was noticed the Convention cheered it heartily, and amid much applause Sen ator Tillman asked Major Bar ker to stand up. Locking Ma jor Barker's arm in his, Senator Tillman said: *1 want to tell the Convention and the people of the St^te that Charleston and Edgefield counties have agreed to stay in the same State and be members of the same Com* monwealth.* Amid much ap plause and the greatest good feeling Major Barker and Sen ator Tillman sat down.” All this was, of course, right pretty; but while we are the very last to advocate the har boring of grudges or the foster ing of any feelings of animos ity, “consistency is a jewel” too precious to be sacrificed lightly. The speakers either meant what they said—the one in his intem perate abuse of the metropolis of the State, the other in his de fense of it—or they did not mean it. If the latter, they were wasting the time of the Convention in “playing to the galleries”: if the former, a quiet, unobtrusivere conciliation would have better answered the purpose, after the sentiments that had been expressed on both sides, than the tablr.au vivant which was presented for thede lectation of the Convention. In other words, sufficient "cooling time” had not elapsed, in our opinion, to warrant the transi tion from the decided warmth which had characterized the debate to the public “locking of arms” and all the rest of it. NO •‘SOP" FOR THE REPUBLICANS The Convention on Friday refused to pass the amendment reading: “Each of the two po litical parties casting the high est number of votes at the pre ceding election shall have rep resentation on the board of man agers of election at each polling precinct and on the board of canvassers in each county.” The strangest thing in con nection with the failure of tjie amendment was that it was warmly advocated by Senator Tillman. It is true that some of the grounds he took in advo cating it were not of the high est. He intended it as a sort of off set to the “understanding” clause—a “sop” thrown to the Republican party, that might have the effect of relieving that clause of some of the odium that will necessarily attach to it in the eyes of the rest of the Nation. Nevertheless, the amendment was a good one, and it would have been the part of wisdom to have adopted it. RELIGION AND POLITICS. The latest phase of our very complex political situation in South Carolina is the injection of religion into the municipal campaign in Charleston in the shape of a vigorous effort which is being made to control the situa tion by the “American Protest ant Association.” The “A. P. A.”, as it is colloquially known, was organized for warfare against the encroachments of the Roman Catholic Church, and has long been a power in the West, though it is some thing new for South Carolina. According to the commonly ae- ceptsd belief, polities and reli gion are two things which have never been known to "mix”, and, in our judgment, our Char leston friends would do well to abandon the experiment of try ing to make them do so. A CRUSHING CONDEMNATION. In the Constitutional Conven tion on Friday, during the pro- gessr of the debate on the suf frage question, Mr. Parrott, (to quote from the News and Cour ier report of the proceedings), “said that the Convention was making a Constitution for the people foe South Carolina and not Massachusetts or other States. He charged Dem ocratic defeat to Cleveland.” Poor Mr. Cleveland! "Turn the rascals out”—the familiar party-cry—may be ap plied to microbes as well as to men. The germs of disease that lurk in the blood are "turned out” by Ayer’s Sarsaparilla as effectually as the old postmas ters are displaced by a new ad ministration.
