THE DAHUGTflH HERALD
A. S» MrIVER, - - - Edlur.
Wednesday, October 8,1890.
The Anderson Journal says: “Any
hum who will endorse as his
own opinions the sentiments con
tained in a recent extract from the
National Economist, ought to—have
his portrait printed in the Charles
ton World.”
The news conies from Kentucky
that S. B. Orwin, President of the
Kentucky State Alliance, and editor
of the official paper of that State, has
come out squarely against the sub-
treasnry scheme. He had previously
been quoted as favoring it.
. The Philadelphia Press the day
before Congress adjourned remarked:
“It is possible that the customary
Vote of thanks to the Speaker may
not, at this session, receive the unan
imous support of the minority.” The
fact is no such resolution was intro
duced.
It is said that the Democratic
nominee for Governor in Pennsylva
nia, Ex-Governor Patterson has never
been defeated for public office at the
polls. He was in 1877 elected con
troller of the Republican city of
Philadelphia by a majority of 1,962;
in 1880 he carried Philadelphia by
13,593 majority, while Garfield had
a majority of 20,833; in 1882 he was
elected Governor of Pennsylvania by
40,202 plurality, and we hope that he
may again be successful.
The New York World says: “No
Republican journal that we have seen
has undertaken to justify the action
of Speaker Reed’s followers in un
seating Congressman Elliott, of South
Carolina, without n hearing, an ex
planation or even a statement of the
case. It was an act of pure wanton
ness—the hilarious deed of a partisan
mob intoxicated with power. There
was no proof nor pretext that Mr.
Elliott did not receive a plurality of
1,300 of the votes cast. But the
census showing a majority of negroes
in the district the Commmittee de
cided that the Republicans are “en
titled” to the Representative, and the
House reversed the result of the elec
tion in a couple of minutes of hur
rahing. There is a reckoning day
coming for this sort of “business.” ”
Secretary of State Marshall has
received from the Atlanta Manufac
turing Company the case for the re
ception and display of Confederate
colors, the purchase of which, at a
cost of $200, was authorized by the
legislature at its last session. It
will be placed in the centre of the
beautiful State library hall. The
case is fifteen feet high and four feet
in diameter. It is sexagonal in
shape. The base is of cherry and
quartered oak with ribs of steel,
nickle plated. The upper section is
of plate glass, nickle plated steel ribs,
and so is the top, which is pyramidal
in shape. The flags will be sup
ported by their staffs in racks ar
ranged for the purpose. State House
Architect Niernsee designed the case,
which is a very handsome piece of
work.
The next move of the administra
tion in the war on lotteries contenv
plates legal restriction upon express
companies and banks in case, ns is
threatened by the agents of the
Louisiana lottery, they attempt to use
these companies in prtweeuting the
lottery business. Those who have
been active in Congress in obtaining
the recent legislation in regard to
the use of the mails are agreed that
the Inter-State Commerce law will
enable Congress to prevent either ex
press companies or banks from car
rying lottery letters or lottery funds
in any form across State lines. Very
careful attention will be given to this
matter during the present short re
cess of Congress, and whatever legiS'
lation appears to be necessary to make
the war on lotteries more efficient
will be urged upon Congress.
Senator Carlisle is is the ac
knowledged leading authority on the
tariff in the Democratic party, and,
whenever he speaks, he carries con
viction and power with his logical
presentation of facts and figures.
The Boston Herald says of his speech
on the McKinley bill: “Senator
Carlisle’s speech was the event of
the day, as was anticipated, and
easily placed Mr. Carlisle among
the great debaters of the Senate in
the days when wealth did not domi
nate that body. Mr. Carlisle’s speech
on the Mills Bill was considered
the effort of his life, and
was; but his speech to-day, for mas
terly array of facts and figures, keen,
irresistable logic—logic so crushing
and pitiless to the opposition as to be
unanswered and unanswerable, added
to a clearness of statement charac
teristic of the man, and of which he
stands almost without a peer among
public men in the United States, far
surpasses that effort, as all who lis
tened to both efforts, irrespective of
party prejudice, are willing to ad
mit” And yet we have been told by
a certain “diascutas” that Carlisle’s
views on the sub-treasury scheme
are childish and sillv.
Let Charleston I»o Her Part.
The Charleston papers report large
receipts of cotton at that port, the
increase this season being much
larger than at the other ports in the
country. This is certainly encoura
ging, and there is really no reason
why Charleston’s cotton receipts
should decrease if her business men
will but keep up with those in the
other cotton ports in enterprise. The
East Shore Terminal, which takes
the cotton right to the wharves and
thereby reduces the cost of handling,
is said to be the principal cause of
Charleston’s increase iu the cotton
business, and the city is to be con
gratulated in securing an enterprise
so long needed. By continuing to
increase their facilities for handling
cotton and by increased energy and
enterprise the business men of
Charleston can secure nearly all the
cotton from this State and a fair
share from several other States.
Norfolk and Wilmington have been
getting a considerable quantity of
cotton which ought to have been at
tracted to Charleston, but the cotton
buyers of the interior towns will wel
come the day which makes it more
profitable for them to ship their cot
ton to Charleston than to some port
outside the State. Let Charleston
do her part and the cotton will go
there. *

Bishopville Postoffice Closed.
The closing up of the Bishopville
postoffice by the postoffice authorities
is certainly a peculiar state of affairs.
It seems that the people of Bishop
ville did not wish to patronize their
postoffice as a negro had been ap
pointed, and, us a last resort, they
indicted him for carrying concealed
weapons, which were found on his
person; but, in the event of his turn
ing over the office to the former post
master, Mr. Scarborough, they prom
ised to drop the case. Miller, the
negro postmaster, did as he was or
dered and the result is Bishopville
has no postoffice. It must be admit
ted that, if the above be true, the
people of Bishopville acted^a little
wrong, but on the other hand Wau-
namaker’s assistant has acted in an
outrageous manner by putting a man
in a community as postmaster whom
the chief patrons of the postoffice
did not want Those who do the
bulk of the business that supports a
postoffice are the proper ones to say
who shall be postmaster. If a man
is appointed who is distasteful to
them there will invariably be trouble,
law or no law. The white people of
Bishopville mav not have acted os
they should have done, but Wanna
maker and his crowd are responsible
for appointing a man, as postmaster
in a community, who would not be
tolerated in such a position in a
Northern town.
Wendell Phillips Retorts.
[Philadelphia Preaa.)
Wendell Phillips was once in a rail
way car in which was a number of
ministers returning from a conven
tion. Among the number was a man
with a loud, strident voice, who was
loudly declaiming against the aboli
tionist, and especially against Mr
Phillips. He was talking at every one
in the car, and finally shouted that he
understood that Mr. Phillips was on
board. Calling the conductor he
asked him to point out Mr. Phillips.
The conductor indicated the orator,
who had been a quiet and interested
listener.
The little man with the voice
strode up the aisle to a disrespectful
distance, and after striking an atti
tude, the following colloquy took
place:
“So you are Wendell Phillips?”
“I am, sir,” repied the orator, qui
etly.
“Then why don’t you go South
and preach your doctrine there?”
shouted the little minister.
“At that time,” explained Mr
Purvis, in relating the incident, “any
abolitionist would have been lynched
in the South.”
Replying to the clergyman, Mr
Phillips asked: “You are a minister
of the Gospel ?”
“I am, sir.”
“Your mission is to save souls
from hell?”
“It is, sir.”
“Then why don’t you go there
sir?” * •* ’
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “It is better for the self-respect
ing people of South Carolina to swal
low Tillman, though he be a very
nauseating dose, rather than the De
mocracy should be divided and the
State pass under Republican rule.
The craze which has lifted him to
the crest of the political wave will
soon spend its force, and when his
term of office shall have expired he
will be regarded as a nonentity by
those men who are now shouting for
him most loudly, and he will be
dumped out of the political arena of
South Carolina with the same vigor
that he thrust himself into it Till
man’s conduct all through the cam
paign has demonstrated the fact that
he is of small calibre, and such a man
devoid of all the traits of character
necessary to a successful leader of
men cannot long keep the people un
der the sway of his influence, and
when his star goes down it will never
rise again.”
