THE NEWS AND HERALD. WIXXSBOKO. S. C. : " _ i wednesday, february 9, : : 18s7. i i B. It. RA.GSOA.LE, ) > ?onor.s. JT. L. McLOy'ALD. ) The South pays annually a tax of j $o00,000 on cotton ties. This U one i item only. It goes into the pocket of j Northern monopolists. The anti-Mormon bill will pass both j houses of Congress. Not even the j resurrection of Brigham Young can prevent it. If it was this that brought j the old gentleman back, he will likely have all of his trouble for nothing. Polygamy is doomed. Republican Senators are now un- j easy at the attitude of the colored people in regard to the rejection of Matthews. But they are at a loss to devise some scheme by which they can appropriately explain how it was that they went back on "the man and brother.'' The proposition of the Philadelphia jRecord that the United States should buy Canada with "the surplus" re minds Uo once more of the man who bought the elephant. That "surplus" is becoming a very pestilent affair, it is true, bnt the proposed investment would doubtless be a great deal more so. Better buy the Sahara Desert, that would be safe if not profitable. The Senate committee on privileges and elections, charged with the iuvesligation of the alleged Texas outrage, object to the large number of witnesses that the- defense proposes to call. It is difficult, however, to see on what the objection is based. The discovery of truth i?, a tedinns hnsiness stall times. aud if it really be the' truth that they j are after they should not complain because they have some work before them. We learn from a recent Washington dispatch that "a committee of high tariff Democrats," consisting of Messrs. Randall, Warner, Wise and Tillman, met Speaker Carlisle a few days ago at the Riggs House to talk over the matter of abolishing the internal revenue. A representative from South Carolina one of "a committee of high tariff Democrats!" Shades of Calhoun, H&yne and Preston, whither are we tending! An exchange asks is patriotism on the decline? One would hardly think, so judging from the willingness with which men now accept public office. It was a misdemeanor at common law for one to refuse serve in a public office to which one had been elected or appointed. But this is an offence for which 110 American citizen has ever been even tried. The law is a dead letter. It has fallen into "innocuous desuetude." Now it happens that one of the railroad kings in a moment of thonght less candor has been brought to confess that he does maintain an <:agerit" at Washington to ''protect his property from damage by the legislative, judicial and executive departments of the Government." Mark tUe feiicily of the formula! A spade may be a spade, but when ir is appareled in that style n jue but experts can be expected to recognize it The Nebraska Stite Horticultural Society oas aaoptea a resolution declaring that the ann lal seed distribution made by he Department of Agriculture at Was lington should be discontinued. The reason which induced its passage it not apparent, and we suspect that it can be found only in the fact that every little one-horse society that meets now-a-days manage, some how or other, to get under the impression that they cave assembled for the purpose of reorganizing things in general. Sixce the close of the war 8300,000,000 have been paid out of the United States treasury for pensions. The bill for the present year provides for $75,000,000, and still the national gratitude enlarges. a;i igc powers 01 Europe do not pay as much for the support of their armies. The "war tariff" supplies this money and a good deal o? it is drawn from the South, but none of it comes back. Nevertheless we hear of a high tariff representative from this State. Again we ask, how is it? Atlanta is about to discover that prohibition is a failure. To say nothintr ahfinf- thp flriniMchincr Hn:5n*?ce rlino by drag: stores, the "jag business" has for the past year developed to enormous proportions. Whiskey is now sold in Atlanta in open and flagrant defiance of the law, which no one seems to take any pains to enforce. This i? always the case. A law which is not supported by public sentiment is a dead letter, and there is much reason to believe that a prohibition law does more harm than good. We are to be given by the Congress of t.he United States free whiskev and free tobacco, but we are to be denied free blankets or free cotton tic?. This may be politics, but it falls far short of statesmanship. The paramount issue in the politics of to-day is free trade, and we commend it to the attention of our people as of far more importance than the reformation of a bureau or the reduction of the already insignificant salarv of a county officer. Any ! an who vott-s for a protectionist in ? laitu?<* ought to be disfranchised It u.ui n.-ci. 1 thof Vf-t ha*- no notion at all ot %hting a | duel. The New York papers have sketched the whole thing off very graphically, bat the Senator has not been able to discover the necessity for such action on his part. In fact, before shuffling off this mortal coil he remembers several matters of importance that he is desirous of attending to. But the man who takes this Mis sourian for a coward can find out that he has made a fearful mistake, if be will just go about it in the right way. More than one Legislature previous j to the one last assembled at Columbia ; vntpfl nriwotjriations to (Vi<? the Colum- : bia Canal; a vast amount of labor had | been expended upon the work. The ; last Legislature refused the accus- j tomed appropriation, and so far as we know the work stops entirely. Now either of these things must be true?the Legislature that voted appropriations were fools, or the Legislature that refused to continue the appropriations j were fools. There is no middle ground; \ either the work ought never to have been begun or it ought to have been finished. Tiie railroads complain of hostile legislation; that everybody is against tKnnr /v?nHc niifl ini-iosai'P fllwflVS i W^V-W. . . ~vv.. .v. J ? - | prejudiced against tnem, etc. As for i legislation we have had very little yet of any sort, and as to the conduct of; courts and juries, those who have ac- j quainted themselves with the conduct j of the railroads are inclined to think I that had the juries in all instances given double" the amount demanded by the plaintiff, and in addition thereto had hanged one or two officials besides, fiey would not have gone far beyond thtriirnft which abstract justice would prescribe. 1 -art -v - ? The present Congress seems to be doing anything that it can find to do rainer than disturb the war tariff'. The House has just passed a bill for the relief of dependent parents and honorably discharged soldiers and sailors who are now disabled and dependent upon their own labor for support. The bill provides for all soldiers, including those who served in the Confederate array. Something has to be done to get rid ol tiie constantly accumulating surplus in the treasury, and the policy seems to be anything?even to give it to the Confederate soldiers rather than reform the tariff. We don't want any pensions or gratuities down here; all we want is fair play and the right to enjoy the fruits of our industry. We are tired supporting the monopolists j of tiie North. Eveky opinion sooner or later, linds an advocate. The warrior Senator from Kansas thinks that the only safety of the American people is a continental republic from the frozen sea on the North to the proposed iuter-oceanic canal on the South. But most thoughtful minds will be inclined to find tiie very opposite of safety in this scheme. The heterogeneous character of our population is already a question of grave concern to those who make any pretentions to statesmanship, and it is not easy to see how the annexation of Canada and Mexico could help the matter. All of this vast territory might of course be brought readily under one government, but sooner or Ja'er the government must partake of the character of the governed and the assimilation of races is in nowise dependent on mere political forces. a resolution was recently offered in the Senate by Mr. Iloar, of Massachusetts, and supported by Mr. Frye, of Maine, declaring "that after the Senate lias refused its advice and consent to the appointment of any person to office, it is contrary to the spirit aud intent of the Constitution to designate the same person to the same office immediately thereafter." This is intended as a slap at the President in the Matthews business. It is a sort of continuation of the dispute between the Executive and the Senate, which grew out of theDuskin case, in which the Senate tried to assume executive functions. As between a President elected by the people and a Senate of plutocrats, who purchase their offices from corrupt Legislatures we go with the President, and when the time comes surely the whole country will be found going the same way rather than consorting with the Hoars, of Massachusetts, and the small Fryes, of Maine. a dispatch lrom Jackson, Miss., says the jury in the case of Evan Forbes, colored, an ex-convict, vs. John P. Withers, gave a verdict for the plaintiff for ?1,000. Forbes sued for -$10,000 damages, alleging that when a convict he was badly treated while leased to Withers to work on a plantation.? Orangeburg Times and Democrat. This will be a welcome piece of news to the friends of prison reforms in this State. The hiring-out system as it prevails here is a monstrous iniquity. Tne crimes that have been committed in the name of justice, in the course of the management of the i South Carolina penitentiary, for ihe past five years have been numerous and flagrant enough to sink that institution into the final home of the wicked. A sentence for a term of a few rears is known to be equivolent to capital punishment. The cry of the convict has gone up from the stockades, but it has gone in vain. The Legislature has persistently refused to interfere. The precious time of these solons has been taken up of late in trying to reform the agricultural bureau and the salaries of half-paid county officers. We invite the exconvicts who have been maltreated to apply now to the Courts. Let us see if somebody cannot be made responsible in South Carolina as well as in Mississippi. John J. In^alls. i Mr. Ingalls, the Senator from Kan- ' sas, has recently brought himself into : very extensive notice by delivering a < war speech on the Canadian fisheries < bill in Congress. The London and Canadian press have handled him : withoui gloves, indulging in much irrelevant personal abuse. Tlieir safety < lie- in ;he fact that they are firing from u>i:g ranae. In the Senate, where the i Western Senator is known, he is re garded as a good man to let alone in ; :i qusuiei. .xo oei'uiur nus. uvei met j him in a persona! tilt and come off; first best. As a master of repartee he ! probably has no living superior. His I 1 store of sarcasm and invective is fairly | ; inexhaustible and many of the momen tarv flashes of genius that have fallen i from his lips will probabv live fur , generations in the traditions of the Senate. It is a good thing for his ' critics that they do not meet him face 1 to face. l The Kailroad Commission. I The President is reported to have ' said recently that only men of estab- 1 lished national reputation should be : appointed on the railroad commission. J If this be true it knocks all to pieces the* nrosneets of sfiversil hnmlrpri rail didatcs, and even with a liberal inter- 1 prctation of terms, narrows the field ' of choice entirely too much. Of course only men of unquestionable integrity and high executive capacity , should be cho?en. But the;-e are not ( always of "established national reputation," on the contrary it is one of j the curious and rapidly growing fea tures ot modem politics that the , "weaker vessels" are set up in the . highest places. It becomes compara- 1 tively necessary, therefore, in making j such appointments to measure the as- | pirant aside from the accidental prom- : inence of his position. It is said that Senator Cullom is suf- , fering from an impression that his ad- , vice to the President as to the selection j of the two Republican members will 1 be of unusual weight. But it is not J likely that the President will waste j much time on Cullom. He will be I freer in the matter of naming the ttepuuucan muiuuers muu in cuouwug from his own party. The law certainly vests extensive powers in the commission and no pains should be spared to secure the services of the best men. The Blair Bill, i Congress has, we think, done a splendid service for the country in passing the inter-Stale commerce bill, and it has an opportunty to do another by passing the Blair educational bill. There is no better way of disposing of the vast surplus that has accumulated in the national treasury at Washington by means of an infamous protective tariff than by using it to destroy tnat ^ ignorance, which alone has made its , accumulation possible. "We need this money which the Blair ( proposes to donate. The problem of ( public education in the South is a , serious one indeed. The States are struggling manfully with it, but their resources are inadequate to the task, and k is plain to those who have j familiarized themselves with the sub- ject that unless help comfes from some- ( where we must surely lag behiud for < generations in the matter of public ] education. I Aside, too, from the- subject of edu- ] cation, the Blair bill may be advocated j, upon very practical and utilitarian j grounds. The scattering of the mil lions of dollars broadcast over the j State, which the bill proposes to do , within the next few years, will be j something like a shower of wealth to 5 a bankrupt people. It would stimu- ] late trade, improve our wornouHands. It would diversify our industries. It j would reach and awaken every spring ( social life. By all means let the Blair , bill be passed at the present session of | Congress. "We need the money; we j need it right now. ] Straggling Against the Inevitable. The railroads are trying to induce the Attorney General of the United ] States to pronounce the inter-Slate i commerce bill unconstitutional. Chaun- , cey M. Depew, a notorious railroad < lawyer of New York, has telegraphed | to Mr. Garland not to render his opin- i ion of the bill until he has heard argu- , ment from him on ir.s constitutionality < ? thus impudently thrusting his opin- ? ions upon the chief law officer of the < Government. \ There is very little hope, however, i '? - x -. ? - - - . v _ -i *> r_. mat uiis scaeme win succeeu. jir. j < Garland is known to be a federalist, a> ] believer in a strong central govern- j ment, a disciple of Marshall and Web- j ster, rather than of that opposite < school of politicians whose theory of . our Government tends to minimize the powers of Congress and of the i general Government. Mr.Depew will ] therefore argue his points to a court \ that has in all probability already made np its mind. < But even if Mr. Garland should pro- , noutice the law unconstitutional, and , the President acting upon this advice 3 should veto the bill, nothing would be f gained, uongress wouiti pass tne Din j over the veto, and even if the matter i should ultimately be carried before the j Supreme Court the friends of the j measure have little to fear. The law j is in harmony with the Constitution, ( and will be so held. It becomes the ( duty of the friends of fair play now, ? throughout the Union, to see to it that ] the law is obeyed, and that unjust dis- t criminations shall stop. ^ The Xext Election. . ? 1 There is entirely too much anxiety c in the Democratic party just now 1 about the next election. This it is, which explains its persistent refusal 3 to grapple with strong and important mftocnrat! 1 C tliA nrAVfti'nmftut i c rr'i T7tn iliua^ui V/O* Ai Ull/ AO QWOII back to the Republicans in 1888 it will [ not be for anything that the Democrats i have doi:e, but rather for what they e hive been "moved and instigated by j, the devil" not to do. The record of f the party will be a pitiable scrap of i history indeed, it will be written down somewhat after this fashion: ( Tariff reform?there was a irood deal c c of talk about this, but it was merely r talk. With a tax of 100 per cent, on t salt and GO per cent, on wool, the party * concluded that it "would be rather ^ dangerous to carry out tne pledges in t the platform on which it was elected, t "iifl !ir*rr>rrlin<rlv nrvthinor wrfia rlr?no U -..v. ?? C>-.' """'""o ' | Financial insecurity arising from ihe J compulsory coinage of silver and the ( national defense against foreign ag- a ^iv.oion were likewise important t' is?uos at this tim-, but the general ^ E policy of the party being "masterly j inactivity" these were passed by also, i; Now we are free to say that we had o rather see tne party beaten at the next v election for taking a brave, righteous and patriotic stand for the things that b it professes to believe iu than see it o "ftlllinilPrl ill llftwcr f<iv fntlrvwrintr enr-h ^ 1 ? r i know-nothing, do-nothing' policy. e As the matter stands, it would seem c that about the only hope that there is u for success lies in Mr. (Cleveland. He c seems to be the one solitary exponent 3f courageous action that there is in j the party. The people have more j ;ense than the politicians imagine. Henry watteraon and the President. We have not learned what it was that the editor of Louisville CourierJournal wanted and didn't get, but this is the way he talks about the President: He is the one man in Washington who is blind to the truth ami deaf to souusels. Even the Secretary of State, ] who has lived most of his life in a peach-blow vase three thousand miles J beyond the moon, is not, I am told, wholly lost to the real state of the i ;ase. But there seems no help for it. j A man as incapable of receiving im- : rvroctinnc narkf rpdirninof warmth. anil => 7 sensible of criticism oniy to the point 3f resenting it, the President sits in the White House like a wooden image made to be worshipped, not to be loved. To the weaker members of his Cabinet he has imparted Shis dull selfsufficiency and cold stolidity. The most servile as well as the sincerest form of flattery is imitation; and the beggars on horseback whom Mr. Cleveland, seeking to discover a new political planet and to people it with creatures of his own, brought into being and mounted, have caught the trick of -their chief and are equally industrious and successful in neglecting great tor little things and in seeing nothing clearly except the regulations :>f the civil service. They, too, take _ T> LI! U~? more joy in one xwpuuixouu wnu repented and turned Mugwump than in ninety and nine Democrats who have never gone astray. It is needless to say that the criticism is unjust, if such gibberish can be dignifield with the name of criticism. The President is a genuine reformer. He has done all that he can to further the great measures of reform which are now pressing for governmental action, and which have been defeated mainly by Democratic Congressmen, greatly to the injury of the people whom they misrepresent. The people understand the situation; if ihe Government is slow in pushing reforms it is not the fault of the President. It won't do to hold him responsible for the conduct of the fools who make up the Congress. JLon^street. Lee anil Gettysburg* Gen. Longstrcet is out in an article in the last number of the Century, in which he undertakes to show that had Gen. Lee taken his advice the battle of Gettysburg might have been a brilliaut Confederate success instead of the crushing defeat that it was. Un fortunately, however, for Gen. Longstreet, the facts of history would seem to be against him. The plau of battle which he claims to have condemned has been shown to have been feasible enough and that the failure of'the dayis attributable to defective execution rather than to defective planning. It lias even been hinted that had Gen. Longstreet himself supported Gen. Pickett in his famous charge, as he should have done, the colors which were so gallantly planted upon Cemetery Ridge might have been carried farther and the enemy dislodged from III .8 dt l-AMli K/\M All through the article Gen. Lee is spoken of in terms of stinted praise, sometimes of ill-concealed detraction, [t is manifest that in the estimation of he writer Gen. Longstrcet was a much greater man than Gen. Lee, and should have been left in command of :he army of Northern Virginia. The rcrdict of history, it is needless to observe, is otherwise, the palm of the greatest Captain which the war of secession developed on the Confederate side has been awarded to Gen. Lee by he men who fought against him, by men capable of weighing evidence, by disinterested foreigners, who care as little abont the petty rivalries among the Confederate lieutenants as they do far i.he sneeial r?lan of battle which Glen. Longstreet wanted to have tried it Gettysburg. We are not among the admirers of Gen. Lee who class him with Napoleon Bonapart. We think he lacked :he inspiration of the hero of Uitn and Ansterlitz; but he was a cool, calm, self-reliant man, who never quailed mder any stress of circumstances; tvho planned his battles after the manaer of a reasonable being, and fought ;hein out with a desperate and unflinch iig uuurugc. -m.i5Larv.co uc uvuLriicao nade, as all military men have done. Possibly the whole Gettysburg campaign was a mistake as Moscow was, jut Gen. Lee's military record conains as few blunders perhaps as that >f any General who ever commanded >o large an arm)-, not even excepting Napoleon, and he was as far superior o any of his lieutenants as Bonaparte vas to his. Gen. Longstreet's self-conceit which las survived the lapse of twenty years )f neace has led him into a blunder: 4 ' I le had better have kept his jaw. Ir. W. W. Russell, the <*reenb acker, Replies. Some weeks ago we took occasion to nform our Democratic friends in Anderson county to keep a "wake iye" 011 Mr. W. \V. Russell, the well:uown Green backer. In order to have air play we publish the following etter: To the Editor of the News and 'Jourier: Having been attacked re ently by several newspapers because >f my interest in tbe farmers' movenent, I desire to right myself before he friends of the cause. The Winns?oro News warns the farmers of Anlerson county to beware, and the Inelligencer seconds the cry, asserting hat politics is at the bottom of this inerest from the fact that I am "too inaniraously ready" to criticise the uaders of the Democracy. Judging rum my past censure of measures not men) they have pointed me out ,s a possible spy in the camp. Thereore, with your permission, I will set i>rth ray position as to the farmers' novement, and also politics, for the ! 11 formation of these journals. I pub- i ished early in the spring of 1886 my ' ninini.e rm fhp enhipr-f. 111 the ^t>oari. ! lile Daily News, but it seems neces-; ary to do so again. My zeal for the fai mers' cause dates i ack many years ago, when I was au . flieer and an active worker in the! Itate Grange and the State Agricultu- \ ai Society. This is natural and prop- I r, as all my interests are now, as then, | entred in the farm. It was with the J nderstanding that it was not a politial mcvement that I was present at its organization and subsequent meetings of both State and county. So far as ; Anderson is concerned, with Col. ! D. K. Norris at its head, I know it has i no such significance. But it means ! that the farmers are at length learning the lesson taught them by the editors, the lawyers, the doctors, the bankers, the merchants, and so on throughout | the whole list?"in union there is ; strength." They are awakening to : the danger' of inactivity, and are or I ganizing their forces tor retonn witnui j ! themselves. Would that every farmer were more of a politician in its true j ! sense?not. an office-seeker?but ii i ! student of the laws under which he i i lives, the strength and resources of the Government, its financial a>pect and | condition, thereby preparing him to become a better cilizeu and to cast his ballot more intelligently. If ihis movement should declare itself a political organization (as I believe these editors would like), I should withdraw at once, from the fact that, as my political faith differs somewhat from that of the majority, we would not be in accord. I hope vet to be able to prove who is the better friend to the highest inter est of South Carolina in tne enci. i gave freely four years of my life before attaining- iny majority to her cause. In 1876 L contributed as much, iu proportion to my means, as any man in the State, and made as many speeches to free our people from one of the mcst infamous governments which ever existed, and to-day I stand prepared to defend her, even with my life's blood if necessary. ]Not- all my traducers can say the same of their past and future. Iu conclusion, 1 dispute the claim : of a few political wire-pullers to throttle what sympathy I have with my own people,"and I hope I still have the right to raise my voice in South Carolina and advocate so just and noble a cause as the farmers' efforts to free themselves from burdens too great to be borne longer in silence.
