It has been announced 011 authority
that Mr. Blaine will go to Europe
next month. He is said to be in need
of rest, but nobody has been able to
discover what he has been doing- to
make him tired. Perhaps it was
watching John Sherman.
It seem3 that Secretary Eadicott
entered the Cabinet under a delusion.

dent's first choice for the head of the
War Department. It is now asserted
that the President tendered the office
to John Qaincy Adams. Mr. Adams
debated the matter some time and
and finally declined the honor. He
told Mr. Cleveland that so long as his
father, the late Charles Francis Adams,
Sr., was alive, he did not feel at liberty
to accept public oCioe.
The New York Herald, having
coucladed that Grady would not prove
so acceptable for the second place on
the ticket, as it had at first supposed,
very mercilessly dropped that gentle- j
man and substituted in his stead the j
Eon. Henry "Watterson. But the J
fiery Kentuckian could perceive no
compliment in it, and took the occasay
apropos in the Jast issue of his
paper that he happened to know who
the second man would be, that he
would neither be an editor nor in any
way related to one. He did not say,
however, how be came by his information.
The route taken by the Czar and
Czarina in their journey into the Don
Cossack country was guarded through-!
out its entire length, 1,150 miles, by
sentinels carefully selected from the
different branches of the Eussian military
service for their bravery and
trustworthiness, and no person not
giving a wholly satisfactory account of
himself was permitted to approach
within gunshot of the road until long
after the Emperor and his escort had
passed. Costly traveling, we should
sav. The ruler who is so afraid of his
own people ought to resign, even
though he has "divine right" to his
throne. But the most remarkable
thing about the Czar just now is the
way in which he helps to illustrate the
progress of liberal ideas throughout
the world. Many ot the most thoughtful
of men are now ready to admit
that there are two sides even to a question
of assassination. In the case of
9 the Russian people it is the one desperate
alternative to submission to
tyranny.

"Railroad official," in his letter inquiring
into Mr. McMaster's position
on the railroad question, asks:
Are you not aware that in making
the rate* from York to Winnsboro
the question of water competition is
an element and that the rate is made
on the lowest combination* and that.
Hiu Joogp ?2mmvv"
no such element will enter into it or
be permitted, and that the rate to
"Yvinnsboro and other interior towns
will be much higher than now ?
I think if he was aware of these
facts he would not have writlen as he
did. The enforcement of the fourth
section would kill interior towns.
The nnesjir?n is rmirifpllrorihle. While
he was about it"Railroad official" onght
to have explained what he meant bv
saying that ''water competition is an
element, and that the rate is made on
the lowest combination." He ought
to have told, too, how it was that
"under the long and short hanl clause
no such element will enter into it or
be permitted." If he had done these
things he would have given some leason
why it is that he "thinks" that if
Mr. McMaster had been aware of
these facts that he would not have
written as he did.
"Railroad official" further says:
"That the enforcement of the fourth
section would kill interior towns."
For this timely exhibition of generous
solicitude, we are of course extremely
thankful. In this day of
perfect peace, when the lion and lamb
may lie down together, we may almost

It is worse than nonsensical for the
Legislature to pass an Act that is not
approved by the great body of the
people. It is positively harmful because
it tends to destroy all respect
for law. The same unfortunate result
follows every effort on the part of
executive authority to enforce laws
that have become obsolete by reason
of being oat of harmony with the
spirit of the age. The people won't
obey, and are therefore compelled to
resort to all manner of evasions.
The "old bine laws" of New York
will presently furnish good illustration.
The inhabitants of the cities of
New York and Brooklyn have stubbornly
resisted the recent efforts to
enforce them; they have applied to the
.Legislature witnout success to repeal
it, and now the Star comes along with
the following bold and significant suggestion
:
The question is, Shall we in New
York and Brooklyn observe an enactment
which is contemptuously ignored
in every other part of the State? Shall
we continue to revive against ourselves
a dead letter which is kept npon
the statute book only because it is irksome
and oppressive to us? Or shall
we do as the Pharisees in the couutry
do, take the course that is most agreeable
to ourselves and commend to our
neighbors what to them is most repulsive.
There is no doubt about the final
outcome of it. The Deoole of New
York City don't believe in the law,
and they are not going to respect it
long. The Legislature was given an
opportunity to save itself from contempt
and it would not. Now we
shall see what we shall see.

McMaster, Brice & Ketchin.
The Lawyer's. Fame.
It was the wish of Hume's iamily !
that he should be a lawyer, and he
went so far as to commence the study
of the law; but it seems to have been
distasteful to him, and he says himself:
"While they fancied I was
pouring upon Voetand Vinnius, Cicero
and Virgil were the authors which I
was secretly devouring."
If David Hume had continued the
prosecution 01 aw siuu) ui mc ia>*
posterity would probably have heard
but little of him. The greatest of the
English philosophers would hardly
have said of him as he did a short
while ago in a public address at Edenburg,
"That I make bold to pronounce
David Hume the greatest philosopher
that the eighteenth century produced,
even thongh that century produced a
Kant."
j Prof. Huxley tells us in his life of
, Hume that "there appear to have been
in Hume all the elements of which a
good lawyer is made; clearness of
judgment, power of rapidly acquiring
knowledge, untiring industry, and
dialectic skill; and if his mind had
not been preoccupied, he might have
fallen into the gulf in which many of
the world's greatest geniuses lie
buried?professional eminence?and
might have left behind him a reputation
limited to the traditional recollections
of the parliament house or
associated with important decisions."
This is highly complimentary to the
bar, bnt it is a warning to the youthful
votary of fame. The lawyer's
fame is his contemporary and it dies
with him.
Lord Erskine, the greatest advocate
that the English bar ever produced, is
even now scarcely known beyond the
circle of his professional successors;
and Mansfield, Hale and Hardwicke
live only in the great judicial decisions
which they rendered.
On the Line of Promotion.
It is understood that Professor McBrydo
will soon resign the presidency
of the South Carolina College, and the
important duty of electing his successor
will be devolved upon the board
of trustees. These gentlemen, we
doubt not, will discharge the duty
satisfactorily. The prime end which

I selection of the most suitable man for
the place, and in casting about for
such a person they should confine
themselves to the field of professional
educators. There are very substantial
reasons why they should not cross this
boundary.
It will strike most persons that the
proper thing for the board of trustees
to do will be to select a successor to
Prof. McBryde from among his colleagues
on the faculty. These gentlemen
have the first claims upon the
place; they stand on the line of promotion,
and the elevation ot one of
them to the presidency will be alto!
ffether in harmony with the fitness of
! things, and, we believe, will subserve
the best interests of the institution.
If, however, the board of trustees
cannot find a suitable person among
I the gentlemen now associated with
JW-?'McRrT"de; on the faculty,, then.
iuey snwiuu go to me lacuity 01 some
other college in this or some other
State.
We think, however, that there is a
gentleman now a member of the faculty
who is eminently well qualified to
| meet all the requirements of the situation.
He is a polished gentlemen of
scholarly erudition, born with the rare
faculty of governing which is so
essential to success in the president of
an institution of learning. We allude
to Prof. R. Means Davis. His eleva!
tion to the presidency would be eni
tirely satisfactory to his co-laborers on
j the faculty, to the students, the
i alumni and the friends of the institution.
It is without Pi-of. Davis's
knowledge or consent that we make j
this use of his name. He is not a can-1
didate, we are sure, but we are equal-1
ly certain that if called upon to discharge
the duties of president, that he
should not, and will not refuse.
We commend Prof. Davis to the
board of trustees as a suitable person
to succeed Prof. McBryde. He possesses
the executive ability, to crowd
the essentials into a commonplace
phrase, which will insure his success
in the office. |
Are We Governed Too 3Iucli ?
The New York Sun instances the
inter-State Commerce Act, the Sunday
Excise Law and the Half-Holiday Act
as proof that "we begin to be governed
too much."
We are opposed to having the Government
undertake or do anything
that the people can better do for them"
selves. But we do not regard the
inter-State Commerce Act or the Half!
Holiday Law as being in the direction
! ot a dangerous centralization. The
former is expressly authorized in the
Provision of the Constitution giving
ongress power to "regulate commerce
among the several States." The
necessity for its enactment grew out
of the practice of the railroads to
make discriminating and therefore
unjust tariffs, and from the inability of
the States to deal with corporations
controlling long lines of transportion.
It is simply a reminder to tne servants
that they are not greater than their
master.?JV". Y. World.
"We agree with the Sun that "we
are beginning to be governed too
much." Latterly many laws have
been enacted in this country which
ought never to have been enacted,
and which ought now to be straightway
repealed; but the inter-State
commerce law is far from being among
the number, and in classing it as such
the Sun betrays its ignorance of the
principle which it endeavors to invoke.
The ablest of political philosophers,
who ar^ue that there is a limit in the
nature of things, to the scope of legitimate
governmental interference, are
the late John Stuart Mill and Mr. I
Herbert Spencer, neither of whom,
we venture to say, ever dreamed that
his teachings would ever be degraded
in ther vice of so unrighteous a cause.
Mr. Spencer is the author of the
great "law of equal freedom'7 which
would prohibit an individual or corporation
from making such use of his
or its property as would trench upon
the equai rights of other people, and
against the transgressor of this law he
would invoke the power of the State.
The authority of his name or teachings
shall not be invoked against the
inter-State commerce law.
And as to Mr. Mill he has spoken |
for himself in a way that all under- (
ing is put out of the question. Speaking.
of railroads, he says: "The State
should either reserve to itself a reversionary
property in such public works
or should retain and freely exercise
the right of fixing a maximum of
fares and charges, and from time to
time varying that maximum."
It is possible that the Sun, like the
thief in possession of stolen goods,
has a non-interference theory of its
own.
A Suggestion to the Reformers.
Much has been written and spoken
of late about the inefficiency of our
courts of justice, the vexatious delay
in the trial of civil causes, the abuses
of the law which arise in practice, and
the measures of correction that should
be adopted. There is widespread dissatisfaction,
and it must be admitted
by the most conservative that there is
sufficient cause for it.
That estates are occasionally garbled
up in course of settlement has been
very recently the subject of extraordinary
complaint. That suits in equity
now and then outlive all the suitors is
a fact tht might be proved by many
witnesses on short notice. That these
abuses and delays are driving the
people .from court, the natural forum
for the adjustment of wrongs, was a
little while ago candidly admitted
from the bench by one of the ablest of
our circuit judges. Indeed it needs
but a suggestion to to satisfy average
inielligence that there is ample room
for sweeping reform. Where shall it
begin and where shall it end?
The development of the art of stenography
and the appointment of court
stenographers renders readily in
telligible the answer which we propose.
Let the present system of referring
causes to masters and referees
be at once abolished, and let the Legislature
provide that witnesses shall
be examined in open court in all cases
(except when a long account is involved)
where the Judge who
tries the cause can see and hear them.
It may be expected that such an act
will be pronounced by the lawyers
generally a veritable hellbender (vide
Webster). It would make a radical
change in their daily business, and they
are by habit and education a highly
conservative class of gentlemen. But
the people may be convinced, nevertheless,
that it embodies a measure of
permanent reform, anti if so all opposition
must sooner or later vanish.
Arguments against the change drawn
ab inconvenienti may be disposed of
very easily. If the cause be important
or involve complications which require
that the Judge should have time to
consider it, then the stenographer
taking the testimony, the whole record
is complete, and decision may be reserved
just as under the present pracx*

additional iuconvenience on parties
-and wifcaesses. These are reo ??? ***
under the existing system to attend
before a referee, It could cost them
but little more to attend the hearing
before the Judge.
But the real merit of the measure!
which we propose is not disclosed
until we consider how greatly it would
facilitate the administration of justice.
The incalculable superiority of oral
over written testimony would be thus
made available in all cases. When
the Judge who tries the cause sees and :
hears the witnesses, the danger of'
falsehood coming olf triumphant has I
been reduced to the minimum. He
may judge whether the witness is
honest or dishonest, whether friendly,
hostile or indifferent to the party
calling him. lie may see whether he
! answers directly or evasively. He
may note contumacious silence, contradictions
and explanations, intelligence,
or the want of intelligence.

counsel, "learned and adroit hi all
those resources of language by which
the truth may be skillfully concealed
or .falsehood artfully suggested." In
short, he has the advantage of all the
reliable securities for the trustworthiness
of testimony which are entirely
lost in trying causes on written evidence.
But there are a number of other
incidental reforms that would come
with the change, that we cau only
refer to just nowr The "taxed costs
reference" which seem to have become
such an abomination of late, would of
i course be swept away. There would
be no more "delays." Lawyers would
be required to be ready and go on
nolens volens. The stenographer
would earn his money. Justice would
be more faithfully administered. The
people would have more confidence in
the Courts.

Grave Matter.
(Sumter Watchman and Southron.)
On last Monday evening it was announced
upon our streets that the body
of a dead man was lying in the Baptist
churchyard. Immediately upon
the reception of this information the
entire police force with lanterns in
hand headed a procession of terrified
citizens and proceeded to the scene
where the dead body was reported to
be lying. The closest kind of a search
was made for the body but without
avail. Our policemen realized that
the had been badly hoaxed upon the
suggestion of some ODe present that
perhaps the dead body reported to be
lying in this yard was seve'ral feet
under ground. " The originator of this
huge joke cannot plume himself upon
the possession of a vast amount of
goca judgement.
Excitement in Texas.
Great excitement has been cused in the
vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the remarkable
recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who was so
helpless he could not turn "in bed, or raise
his nead; everybody said he was dying of
Consumption." A trial bottle of Dr. King's
New Discovery was sent him. Finding
relief, he bought a large bottle and a box
of Dr. King's Xew Life Pills: by tli i time
he had taken two boxes of pills" and two
bottles of the Discover}*, he was well and
had sained in flesh " thirty-six pounds.

Lamenting country cease to weep
For him you'll see no more;
Your star set in splendor here
Adorns a brighter shore.
If in the quiet walks of life
Contented with his fate,
Or joining in forensic strife
To guard his honored State.
Or if upon the bloody fields
Which crimson swords had made
Amidst the battle's flash and roar,
Or 'neath the cannonade.
He ever tried to fully reach
Life's high and noble end;
Exemplified the purest type
Of statesman, soldier, friend.
His love for country and his God,
Xo sordid ends could blight;
flis manly voice was ever heard
Defending truth and right.
And when his Slate had called him forth
Her standard proud to bear,
He nobly came, while hope arose
And banished every fear.
When battle's din was hushed, and he
His country's heart had won,
Amidst defeat he nobly proved
A still more faithful son.
Again his welcome voice was raised
Against the vandal's wealth
Which had grown great with force abtained
By rapine and by stealth.
When rescued from this alien crew,
We called him higher still,
And at the nation's capitol
A grander trust to fill.
At last this soldier, statesman, friend,
Lies on his dying bed,
And now in triumph goes to join
The bivouac of the dead.
No marble need record his fame,
No palm above him wave,
For deep within our hearts is fixed
A love for that lone grave.

The Farmers' Movement is the name

Some crank at Philadelphia sends
out a warning that a party has been
organized in that city to destroy all
monuments to the Confederate dead in
the South. We wish the raiders would
come here and begin work on the
nearest approach we have to such a
monument, which is the old courthouse
standing on the place where the
monument ought to be. Now that the
surrounding trees are cut down and "
the hideousness of the old buildiug is
fully developed to the public gaze,
there cannot be much further delay.
Surely the county commissioners cannot
find it in their consciences to keepa
shabby and now naked ruin at the
most public place in the city while
patriotic women are begging the opportunity
to replace it with a beautiful
monument.
The Tillman 3Iovement.
(Laurens Advertiser.)
Curing the last political campaign
this paper spent a great deal of time
in trying to solve the problem as to
what* constituted the Tillman movement.
We heard of "Farmers' movement"
on all sides, and yet, you asked
one if it was a political moment, the
bare suggestion would give offence.
Then you would find a man who without
answering the question would begin
a harangue as to the right of farmers
to discuss politics, and such stuff
as every man knows is true, and has
kv <n?yanA. Tbace
who had political aspirations swallowed
the myth?movement?without
knowing or caring to have any welldefined
idea of what the movement
meant.
At a recent meeting of the Tillmanites
in Edgefield at which the Grand
Mosul was present, and it is stated,
the lawyers and doctors present could
have out-voted the farmers, the Agricultural
and Mechanical Association
was swallowed up by the Central
(Movement) Club bodily, funds and
property.
In giving an account of this meeting
the corresponded to the Register
says:
It was generally deplored that the
great farmers' movement throughout
the State had taken on so much politics.
In fact it was acknowledged
even by Tillman that the masses were
laboring under the sole raisapprehension
that the main and only object of
the movement was political.
Organize One Here..
{Pee Dee Index.)
Near the little town of Rising Star,
in Eastman county, Texas, a curious
secret society has been organized. The
object of the order is to suppress idleness
and make everybody work.
When an able-bodied man is "found to
be habitually idle he is warned by a
committee to go to work or leave the
community. This society is said to
have converted the southern part of
Eastman county into a perfect hive of
industry. It is an unlawful organization,
but it seems to be doing some
good in the world.
{New York World.)
Referring' to the rush of lawyers to
New York city the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette says:
Able lawyers who contemplate removal
to New York because there is
, no other city in this country large
enough to accommodate their giant
intellects, should remember that there
are already 4,728 able lawyers in that
place, and that an or tnem are not
accumulating wealth rapidly. Hot
every New York lawyer's shingle i3
gold that glitters, either.
But think of the number of men in
New York who require the constant
attention of lawyers to keep them out
of jail. This is the home of the big
corporations managed by rich gentlemen
who have poor memories. "We
have boodlemen nere and big bribegivers
who can afford to hire six lawyers
in one case and a few mercenaries
on the outside. Oh, this is a
great place for lawyers!

A FATAL MISTAKE.
The Cleveland (Ohio)-Press,1
of February 23d, 1883, published
an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among medical
men throughout the whole
country, Dr. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stomach,
which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable distress
in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
'the teeth, causing a disagreeable
taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky?
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and languid
feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to retain
any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem-Poilinr?
mTro o
CUi^o xaiiiiig w gAw a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order to save the patient's
life an operation was justifiable.
Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the Operation
was performed by Dr.
Vance in the presence of Dr.
Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr.
Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner,
and Dr. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consisted
in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examination
of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found The patient
did not have a cancer.
.When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake: butthev
- " ' ' / V
rawed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours, How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that Ms
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration (for
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been living
to-day. Shaker Extract of
Roots, 01* Seigel's Curative
Syrup, a remedy made expressly
for Dyspepsia or Indigestion,
has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing

X APPEAL TO THE STRONGEST
x. sentiment you know in asking to try
. ny tailor-made suits and my low prices.
It's to your own interest. You will be
gainers by it in the satisfaction of long
wear and the secyr.ty of my guarantee.
It's beyond tho ability of an expert in
cloth to" know what is in it by lsoking^^^
it. Only one of long experience in taM
work knows i:ow to ferrit out whether taw
clothing is caref uily made. You may boH
judge or may not. I take both risks frocBj H
your shoulders
It's the fairest bargain I know?to mab$|
you sure of the quality and the work; teLTJJ

feel safe in trading here.
Can you fare as well as that anywhere?^^^B
Could l do it if I did not have cohfideateM
in the manufacturers that make these?
tailor-made garments? You shOQt wide ofM
the mark and miss getting -the best foifl

No such bargains ever offered in thia^'
