THE NEWS AND HERALD. WINNSBORO, S. C. WEDNESDAY, February 25. : ! : 1885. J."> O. S. SJSYXOLDS, ) V ej>noi.s. ?F. I. McDOSALD. ) Tiie latest report in reference to the Cabinet is to the effect that Mr. Cleveland will make Daniel Manning Secretary of tb'_ Treasury, and L. Q. C. Lamar Postmaster General. Two admirable selections for Cabinet positions. It is the sreneral opinion amon? patent office clerks in "Washington that after the 4th of March Mr. Buttenvorth will step clown and out and his position filled by Hon. Robert B. Vance, of North Carolina, the present chairman of the committee on patents in the House. A bill to forever prohibit the railroads from granting passes to members of the Legislature, lias been presented in the Connecticut Legislature and is now creating quite a stir in that body. They have been accustomed to receive passes from the railroads and also receive their mileage from the government, and are rather reluctant to give up this benefit. The House of Representatives at Washington has passed a'bill reducing the postage on papers from two to one cent per pouua. xms is a step in tne right direction, and we hope it will pass the Senate* "We see no reason why they might not be allowed to go free, as they are the medium of news for the whole people, and do much for. - the advancement of all classes . in the United States. ; ? The Texas Legislature has enacted a law compelling the heads of all departments in supplying their departments with clerks to employ at least one-half of them from the fairer sex. This is quite a victory for the sex, and we think one to which they are entitled. They will certainly make good clerks, and it will open up a field for them to labor in, which will be a benefit to .the sex. The Illinois deadlock still continues and at this stage ot the proceedings it A*M^WV?V4V fcV It ?iV/ IT ill l/V HIV/ successful candidate for United States Senator. Me*srs. Logan and Morrison are still sitting upon the anxious bench, awaiting the result of the election. The last ballot which was taken on the 19th inst. was as follows: . Logan, 100; Morrison, 94; scattering 10. Any attempt to name thQ successor of John A. Logan would be a mere speculation, but it is our hope that Morrison, the tariff reformer, will be the nextUnited States Senator from that State. Last week was an extraordinary week of accidents in general. A great number of railroad accidents have been recorded by the press and also a number of fires, one of which happened in oar neighboring- city, Charlotte, N. C. A fire broke out on Saturday morning in the block near the Central ?- Hotel, destroying several business houses. The whole amount destroyed was about $70,000, with insurance of about $40,000. A woman happened to be in an upper room of one of the buildings, and was so badly burned that she died a few hours afterwards. The fire seems to have been an accident from the negligence of the woman who lost her life iu the conflagration. Fraxklin J. Moses, ex-Governor of f South Carolina, has just finished a form r.f mnnflo i? ? JUa f *V* ?" v* bt?? vv Uiv?iu? lit i/VUUH house of correction for obtaining' money under false pretenses. He was not allowed to breathe freely of the open air long until he was taken up byj Boston officials to be tried for obtaining' money under false pretenses in that city, ile had swindled several professors of Harvard College out of money. lie was tried and sentenced to six months in the house of correction in that city. He made an appeal for himself at. the trial, picturing his past life and his preseut -degredatiou, and made the point that he had lost his oii-nd in consequence of hi6 misfortunes. A once distinguished journalist who still owns an interest in ? leading paper pictures the prospects of Cleveland in the following language: "The defeat of the Democratic party in the national campaign four years hence and the restoration of the Republican party to power, well, almost in perpetuity, and the capture 6*f the Rouse of Representatives by the Republicans at the election next fall. If Democratic Congressmen ea'nnot obtain from [ a Democratic President the offices in their respective distcict?, how can they hope to av^il? They have succeeded always because the hope was uppermost that some day the offices would come along. The rank and Sle Democrat is hardly made of the stuff which can complacently see a political enemy kept in a political office after he had been defeated in a political ti<jht. Snch a state of affairs would demoralize the best disciplined ajmy. The political campaigns of parties are fought to attain to all that in them is, and not for a division of any of the fruits with the enemy. Taking Mr. Cleveland's own declaration, it is my opinion that his administration, if guided by his public utterance?, will be a complete failure, and the Tarpeian rock from which he is liable to hurl himself can be labeled in bright red letters, 'Civil Seryice Reform" We should be very sorry to see such a discouraging outlook for the administration, but we don't take much stock in such assertions, for we believe the Democratic party has too much brains to make such a compete failure as is pictured by this journalist.. It is now scarcely ten days before the Republican party will st?ip down and the new Democratic President be installed and take the reins of government and direct its future course. One . ' . . . .. . of the greatest subjects which will be brought to his attention will be the labor question, which is so Often used as an argument by high tariff men. Mr. Cleveland in conversation with a prominent OJrio Democrat gives the following views Con the subject: "Labor andcapital-bave no antagonistic interests. When capital, represented by overflowing warehouses, finds no market for its productions, or only a market yielding loss instead of gain, labor should sympathize with the difficulty and accommodate itself with the adverse circumstances. Capital should reciprocate by sharing its prosperity-" To absordj'all the benefit of prosperous trade is not- more kindly on the part of the one than of the other. It is equally true that to throw the whole burden of business depression and its consequent loss of profits upon the one, while the other, without sympathy, exacts its usual remuneration, is likewise objectionable. If, as Mr. Cleveland says, "sound business judgment were allowed to prevail, all friction would be avoided." Employers and employees, in the last analysis, haue identical interests, and the general prosperity can be best advanced, by each studying- in a business like and kindly spirit to promote the well-being of the other. Thus the laborer soonest becomes himself a cap ltahsr, and the capitalist fortifies his position as a useful and beneficent member of the -community. jTo the demagogues, however, such questions wear a very lurid aspect. The News and Courier of Friday has a very interesting and valuable article on youthful criminals, which wto rvnKlich Tap tlin honofif nf nnr rl. ! ers* In commenting1 upon this it says: , "South Carolina will have accomplished a great deal, when ihere shall be any sort of reformatory for juvenile offenders. : It is true that nearly all these juvenile criminals are colored chilaren, bat this is no cause for inaction, and is no safeguard against danger. There is more need, indeed, of stringent measures of reform with the colored children than with white children. It would be difficult to reform colored children, perhaps, under a suspension of sentence, as in Massachusetts, but there would be a chance tor them, and some hope for them, if they could be put under proper restrictions in reformatories, instead of being thrust into the penitentiary to become hopelessly debased and depraved. There is another suggestion which is worthy of note, although it is wide of the -immediate subject. It is that, iu the management of public institutions having the care and custody of women and children, including the insane and the blind, deaf and dumb, the State should allow women to be represented on .the Boards of Control, thereby availing itself of woman's superior judgment in household affairs and of her knowledge of the wants of her own sex*. In some unhappy instances, it has been found that delicacy, on the part of the female subordi nates, has stooa in the-..way 01 their communicating to the managing board important information necessary to the protection of the inmates. We agree with President Letchworth in his remark that to deprive female inmates, suffering either from bodily or mental diseases, of that protection which' is insured them by the participation of their own sex in the management of the institution, is an unwise exercise of power which must result in nnhappiness, if not great injury." Governor Scott and His Gons. Senator Hampton in 1882 introduced a bill in the United States Senate for au adjustment of the arras account of this State with the Federal Government. It passed the Senate some time ago, and was taken up on Wednesday in the House of Representatives by Mr. Dibble and it passed that body and is now ready for the Signature of the President. . , . It will be remembered that in 1869 Governor Scott made a -requisition upon the Secretary of "War for ten thousand stand of arms and the salt e number of accoutrements, - with the stated purpose of equipping the State militia for the preservation 0f peace in this State and for use at the then approaching election; This amount was all that South Carolina was-entitled to tor the next thirty years, and the question, us we understand it, was whether the Secretary of War had the power to issue anus to any State that farahe.ad. ."'r These arms instead of being used were sent to;the m&nufacturiug company to be improved. This, it seem?, wss with the intention of placing iu the pockets of the thieves a large sum of money, and: "it seems tliat these ^officials were not- disappointed, rer ceiving a bouritifuTshare of the money which was pretended to have been speut in improving the arras. The passage of this bill will be quite "a benefit to the State, and we are glad th^t our National Congress' lias seen fit to render to this State her just clues. Col. I>. Wyatt Aiken. ThS N'eics and Courier pays a very high .compliment to one who was born and raised in this town. It nominates for Commissioner of Agriculture, which, will probably be made a Cabinet office, the Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville. In commenting upon Mr. Aiken, it uses the following words: The man who should be appointed Commissioner of Agriculture under the new bill is Consrressraan D. Wvatt Aiken, of Sooth Carolina. Colonel Aiken is a scientific farmer, and a practical farmer as well, and was a conspicuous representative- of the agricultural interests of the United 'States long before Mr. Morehead was ever heard of. Colonel. Aiken was one of the founders of the Patrons of Husbandry, .and, we believe,-still holds a high office in that influential order. For years he advocated the recognition of the importance of the farmers of the country by making the Commissioner of Aericnltnre a Cabinof officer. The passage" of the present bill-was ensured by his earnest appeals, and constant efforts^? We do not say that italways follows that the advocate of a particular measure is the proper person to give that ]BBBDIBDB3dSSSHBBMBBBflHHBOBE9BflSB83iBtll ! measure practical effect, but it is so iu p j tbe present instance. Colonel Aiken j n I wiil make the Agricultural Depart- j a ! ment of the United States heard and i s fell in the counsels of the Administra- ; u ! tion, and he possesses one qualification n which no other prominent candidate 11 enjoys. Colonel Aiken is a staunch i and consistent advocate of a tariff for d i revenue only. In this he is as thor- J s ; oughly a ft representative of the in-11 | telligent American farmer as,jic is by i n I his understanding of the farmers 11 1 wants, needs and difficulties. t South Carolina has some claims upon c | the Domocratic party. This State has c I but one candidate for a Cabinet office, v ! and he is eminently well qualified for h j the place. The nomination of Colonel g Aiken as Commissioner of Agricul- t tare, with a seat in the Cabinet, will fully satisfy the just and reasonable expectations of the Democracy of the Palmetto State. a The nomination of Colonel Aiken to this high position would meet the ap- 1 proval of all the people of South c Carolina. He would fill the position 8 with honor to himself and the whole 1 country, and we hope to see him placed * in the Cabinet if this bill passes. Ik the South ail Inviting: Field ? J Wc have before published an extract written by Col. McClnre, of the Pbila- r delphia Times, in which he spoke in c very encouraging tones of South Car- t olina. Those of us who live here in ! South Carolina doubted to some ex- j tent whether it was really as encour- 1 agins: as he represented it to be. But t it must be conceded that the natural resources of South Carolina and the South generally are as fully inviting as any ' section of the United States upon a whole, and that the fault is not in the soil or the climate, but in the system of industry. We copy a few extracts from a pamphlet entitled "The Great Problem of the South," in which it discusses nearly every phase of the question. This pamphlet was gotten up by ex-Governor Young, of Ohio, and J. S. Zerbe, editor of the American Inventor, of Cincinnati, Ohio. The main i Doint treated of is diversified inaus- 1 tries. Wc publish the following ex- ( tracts: , Nature has bestowed upon this people not only a most favored climate, but a remarkably fertile and varied soil?a soil capable of rearing every j semi-tropical fruit or plant, or every ] specie of the cereals that the Northern f States produce. Ilor mineral wealth { is inexhaustible, and even now the s iron workers of Pennsylvania are pen- t etrating the sunny hills of the Fouth t bv way of the Appalachian chain of ^ mountains through Tennessee into ( Georgia and Alabama. ? * * * * * What is the remedy? Plainly the South should have her own manufactories ! Is she in a position to build nn this inrlnfifrv? Tf. is trv this p.nH that, i we are directing the present inquiry, < and we trust that some familiarity i with the manufacturing industry will 1 enable us to answer the question affirm- ] atively. "We are aware that the con- J dition of labor in the South presents a t problem of. the most vital importance j iu dealing with the question. We i approach the subject with a full reali? i zation of the fact, that negro labor is uneducated, and in that respect illy suited perhaps to perform the duties ( of mechanics, but we are aware that k there are hundreds of branches of 1 manufacturing fitted for the negro, ( which requires no more skill or educa- * tion than the ginning of cotton or the ' manufacture ot sugar?indeed it is tne ' laborious part of many of the branches ' of the industrial arts that called forth -] the exercise of so mnch ingenuity to ! produce labosaving machines. From the foregoing extracts we will sec that the very best thing for the i South is to encourage these diversified 1 industries in every way possible, and ^ upon a whole we have as good coun- < try, and can* by persistent efforts, 1 attain to that high state of prosperity ' so much needed. " Js In conclusion, we will say that after looking well into every point of the question, we have as good country as ativ other, and it behooves us to 1 ' c exert ourselves to mate it what it can j be made. ] The Washington Monument. } t Saturday the 21st, was an important J day in the history of our country and Washington city was the centre of attraction. For a number of years every one has looked forward to the comple- t tion of the great monument which was .c to be dedicated to the memory of J George Washington, the first President 1 of the United States. Near the banks of the Potomac and towering high above every spric, reaching near the clouds, stands the stately obelisk which was on Saturday dedicated to the mem ory of Washing-ton. Notwithstanding the cold weather, the ground being covered with snow, a great crowd assembled to witness the ceremonies at the monument. The exercises were opened by Senator Sherman, chairmau of the Joint ! Congressional Commission, with some. ! appropriate remarks? After which the i address prepared by W. "W. Corcoran, |'first vice-president of the Washington ! Monument Society was read by Dr. J. C. Welling, president of the Colum| bia University. This address was a : representation of the part taken by the society in the initiation of the subject, and the construction of the monument. ! After these'exercises came the lla- I sonic ceremonies by the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia, and at their conclusion, the finished structure was formally presented to the United States by Colonel Casey, and accepted by the President in a short written address, concluding with the declaration that this structure was dedicated from this time forth to the immortal name and memory of George "Washington. This concluded the exercises at*the i monmnent and the crowd repaired to ' the Capitol building, where the milij tary were received by the President. The exercises in the Hall of Reoresen I tatives consisted of the reading of the ! address of Mr. Winthrop, by Rcpre| sentative Long, of Massachusetts, and i the address of John W. Daniel, the j sivei-tongued or.ttor ofVirginia. The ' address of Mr. "Winthrop concluded with the following language which ! seems to us very touching and appro I ~ pnate: t4Onr matchless obelisk stands proudly before lis to-day, and we hail it with the exultattions of a uniten and glorious nation. It may, or may not, be iroof against the cavils of critices, but J lOthing of human construction is \ gainst the casualties of time. The ! torms of winter must blow and beat ipon it. The action of.the elements nust soil and discolor it. The lightlings of Heaven may scar and blacken t. An earthquake mry shake it> fotijoations. Some mighty tornado, or reistless cyclone, may rend its massive 'locks asunder and hurl huge fragments to the ground. But the cliaiacer which it commemorates and illusrates is secure. It will remain unhanged and unchangeable in all its onsuinmate purity and splendor, and will more and more " command- the lomage of succeeding ages in all regions of the earth. God be praised, hat character is ours forever!" The address of Mr. Daniel was a nasterlv effortjjand elicited rounds of nnlause. This was the great memorial which s to commemorate the valued services f the "Father of His Country," preented and dedicated to his memory, owering above other monuments as le towered above other men. RAILROAD ACCIDEXTS. Remarkable Showing and the Loss of Life Unusual. Washington, February 21.?Rail oad accidents were numerous yesterlay. The most serious occurred on ,he West Shore railroad al Canoyoba ia, New York, at 3 o'clock thia mornng.

By its use light or red hair maybe darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured. . - j It checks falling of the hair, and stimulates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. - It'' prevents and cures scurf,and dandrutf, and heals nearly every diseaso peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladies' Hair Dressjpc, the Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume. Mr. C. P. Bricher writes from Kirby, 0., July 3, 1882: "Last fall my hair commenced falling oat, and in a short time I boCaiuc nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor, which stopped the fall* ing of the hair, and started a new growth. I have now a full head of hair growing vigotf ousiy, ana am couvmcea mat bul lor uie use of your preparation I should have been entirely bald." . J. W. Bovtbs, proprietor of the Mc Arthur (.Ohio) Enquirer, says: "ayer'3 JIairVigob is a most excellent preparation for the liair. I speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy ana soft. The Vigor is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction,"..: Mb. Asgus Faibbaib5, leader of the celebrated " Fairbairn Family " of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. 6, 1SS0: "Ever since my hair began to give silvery evidence of the change which fleeting tinie procureth, I have used aver's Hair Vigor, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youthfulness?a matter of /*rmci4T<vrnhl? tr% minictpra nrfl. tors, actors, and in "fact every one who lives in the eyes of the public." . - Mrs. O.

On using Ayeb's Hatr Vigob the falling stopped and a new growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair.
