Here is the cashier of the Times short in his accounts something like $20,060, and the cashier of the News is said to be unable to account for the failure of his books to balance to the tune of $5,000. These rich newspapers furnish too much tempation for poor, weak money-counters. ^ ^ Senator Thurmax has made a short and strong speech in favor of popular approval of the Democratic platform and candidates in Ohi? in saying that Presideiit Cleveland is sure to be renominated because t;he is a man of undoubted honesty and undoubted courage. The American people like a brave man and an honest man. Everybody must admit that Mr. Cleveland is both. The French Cabinet seems to be in difficulty about the incident of the Boulanger letter. Probably the wisest course to pursue would be to treat the matter as unworthy of serious consideration. But it is very hard to take that course with such au affair in France, especially if General Boulanp, ger, as is reported, says that he expected the letter to become-public. If he did, he can scarcely defend himself successfully against the charge of a breach of discipline.

The frightful accident on the Erie road constitutes a clear case of crass r>rt<rl?oror?f>'<? ATI riftrf of Some Olie. The precise responsibility may be hard ^? to fix, but a method of construction that admits of crowding- a ]ar<je number of laborers into cuts between banks at the end of a sharp curve, with double tracks and no escape when trains are moving in opposite directions, constitutes a - slaughter-pen for which some one should be held responsible. It is perfectly clear that a track watch should be maintained under such circumstances, just as much as when a train meets with an accidcnt and flagmen are sent to the rear.

"We think the censure that has been visited on Judge Pressley by the press of the State. for his action in continuing the Johnstone homicide case is altogether unjust. He certainly gave good reasons why he should have at least strong feelings of friendship for the defendant, and then be it remembered that the defen ' daut?s attorneys were insisting10:1 their right to come to trial. We do not intimate, however, that they wished to avail themselves of a biased Court, for we know and they must have known that that venerable Judge and profound jurist would have held the scales of justice with the finn hand of a Brutus. Cut a judge of all men must have regard for appearances. lie should be careful to preside in no case where others could say that he had any pecu liar interest that might atiect ms impartiality. Doubtful himself of the propriety of his trying the case, Judge Presslev, if he erred at all, erred on the right side. His action wilt not prejudice the case of the State in the least; indeed, it was the Solicitor who urged a continuance. Waated--A Little .llore riuck. The Democratic party may as well make up its mind to be defeated at the Congressional elections next year, unless it shall, next winter, do its utmost to reduce taxation so as to prevent the accumulation of surplus revenue. Increasing the expenditures so as to balance the account will not answer. The public demand is for less taxation, and not for larger outlay. There Is no room to mistake public sentiment. The President will not be slaughtered because the party is unfaithful to its pledges; but the wrong-doing and do-nothing Congressmen will go.?News and Courier. This is an accurate statement of the case. The public demand may be very easily understood by those who have the least wish to understand it. It is unequivocally for less taxation, and no evasive scheme for increasing expenditures will be tolerated by the people. It is pretty clear that Democratic Congressmen will either have to stand up to the rack or give place to those who mntf tmilo fair or stand I >Y 111 JL IIC; xxi uvw ? aside. The people have been misrepresented now long enouf h. We fear, however, that when defeat comes it will be general. The President will suffer for beincr in bad company. so to speak. This will be the saddest feature of the whole business. A .Rest on Debt-Pay ins. The interest-bearing debt of the Government was reduced $124,000,000 during the fiscal year just closed. Since the end of the war the debt has been reduced by the enormous sum of over Sl,oSl,000,000, and the annual interest charge decreased nearly $110,000,000. The last of the redeemable debt has been called in, and the proposition is now inacie for "a refunding scheme of some kind wmcn win icave a quota ox bonds optional for payment each year." If there were no hope of reducing the taxes such a plan would be"vrise. It would be better to pay out the surplus In discharging the debt than to squander it in extravagant appropriations.

The Ohio Convention marks out the leading issue for 1SS7 and 188S. It is whether the country will approve the record of Democratic administration V continuing its commission to serve the people, or will stigmatize the conduct of the public servants it chose in 1884. There is no middle ground. The Cleveland administration is either a success or a failure. It is either true or false to its mission. It has either faithfully tried to redeem the pledges it made to the people?not to any secr-nr.t l-iovft- /->!? -fVlfHnn linf. fflft liUli J ^/Ui IJ Vi VMv ?<r ?>?v whole people?or it has faithlessly failed to make good those covenants. On the main issue there is no middle ground. It is not a question of shortcomings, or of failures here and there in special cases or in particular locali-! ties. The issue is whether, taking into account the general tenor of the executive doings of the President and the subordinates who share his accountability and make up what is called the administrative federal affairs, have been conducted with pure intention and energetic performance; whether there have been capacity and integ ^ j rity in recommendations to the law! making power as well as in the execu! tion of the laws. Are the people well enough satified about these matters to i prefer to recommission their present j servants rather than to re-employ those whom they discharged three years ago i because they thought them negligent, j slothful, wasteful and so conceited ! through long stewardship that they ; lorgot tnac uic pcopie were men- umaj tcrs. These considerations constitute the overshadowing issue now before the country, for far more than as between 1883 and 1884 is the contest in the States in 1887 "the fight on the skirmish line of the pirclied battle for the Presidency."?JV". Y. Star. 31 r. Ka.tidal 1 Again. The Sun trotted out on Saturday | that meagre little array of assertion, ! which it is pleased to call argument, for the purpose of dissuading the Democratic party from tariff reform. The Democratic party would be infatuated, indeed, if it should go to the Sun for counsel as to its welfare and integrity, but it can well afford to look into this "argument" and appraise its absurdity. Here it in full, omitting the exodium aud the perora tion, which arc understood: When we talk of compromises it must be recollecied that Mr. Randall represents the feeling of the State ot' New York. If the majority of'Democrats should succeed in overcoming him in the "House, the Democratic majority in New York would itself be overcome in the next election. But there would be this difference: The triumph of the tariff reformers in Con u iu: ?UA CAMniA gress WOUlU avu.ll uoiumg, iuc ocnaic being Republican, and the Republican party will not brook" such an assault upon the tariff as the reformers of that institution would wish to see. But the defeat of the Democrats in New York would mean the loss of them of the Presidency. There are not many inaccuracies in this, because there are not many assertions. Sometimes the Sun limits itI self this wav, but alwavs at the expense of the picturesque in fiction. Let jus consider it, however. The Sun advises Democrats to remember that "Mr. Randall represents the feeling in the State of Xew York." Why should ihey remember this? Mr. Randall does not represent the-feeling of the Democracy of the State of New York, and if he represents the feeling or the Kepubiicans, tnat is an additional reason why he should not be considered at all. Only six Democratic Congressmen from this State voted with Mr. Randall in the last Congress, and nearly all of them had to explain and apologize and plead the baby act before the indignant tribunal of their constituencies. Next the Sun says that it Mr. Randall isn't allowed to have his way and to thwart the Democratic purpose at his sweet will, the party will lose New York in the next Presidential election, and, therefore, lose the country. Remembering how earnestly the Sun labored in ISS-i to give New York to Mr. Blaine, this bit of advice may well be dismissed without further inquiry. In fact, we so dismiss it, simply observing thai eveytgffrS"fflfo?'' Sun's facts and conclusions correct, the Democracv should hesitate before adopting a policy that offers victory at the cost of loyalty and self-respect. The Democratic party, however, is thoroughly resolved to put itself on record during the next session of Congress, and it believes, notwithstanding the tiun, that its best chance of winning the respect and confidence of the country Is by proving' that it honors its obligations and redeems its pledges. If Mr. Randall sympathizes in this, well and good. If not, he will have to stand from under.?JV. Y. Star. A TRIP TO TEXAS. XL'AIDER TEX. Jlessrs. Editors: The smaller towns of Texas do not strike the traveler as being very grandiloquent. The sonllessness af the great railroad corporation being very noticeably displayed hfro. Avoidine- all the small towns which had previously sprung up, and purchasing the land for their depots aud all around thein before it was definitely known just where their lines wo old be located, they thereby reaped for themselves a rich and abundant harvest. The railroad towns are consequently but a few years old, and lack as yet a great many conveniences, such as paved sidewalks, wcll-?worked streets, or nice shade trees. The business houses, as well as places of residences, are mostly cheaply built, as though in a great hurry or an uncertainty as to how long they might remain occupied. To this general rule the town of Enuis, though improving nn Hf>v TttArrihnnfs 1UC Lj lO JJV V-WVf/fcV***. ?-V ^.v.v^v.?wj it is true, arc doing business in generally small houses, but are evidently iu dead earnest ; and one is astonished at the tremendous stocks carried and the many business facilities they have alreadv gathered around them. Cotton growing being largely carried cm in the surrounding country, it is here compressed, and through bills of lading can be obtained to any part of the United States or to Liverpool. Having also a fine wheat growing country, there was at the time or our visit a standing offer of a fifteen hundred dollar bonus to any party or parties who would erect and operate a flour mill of sufficient capacity to turn out one hundred or more barrels of flour per day. A large lot near the depot was held in reserve for a building site. We are not sure bijt are under the 1 impression that this would also be donated. A Mr. Baldwin carries on a DanKlUg Dusiness, ami juugiu^ ?irom the force of clerks in Lis employ, has something in his line to do. Capt. ' T. D.

'Accounts made in the first ' of the year are expected to be closed by July 1, from proceeds of wheat and I oat crop and shipments of stock. 2 Wa alsn met with some courtesy 1 from Mr. ?, a laud agent, who is 1 something of an oddity. On the ont- : i . , -r ----- I side of his office, and extending from one end to the other, was printed in large letters, "Heal Estate and Bibles for sale here." Entering his office we were shown a seat, but the discussion which was going on, on the subject of religion, did not for a moment cease. Riding out with him, we were pointed out his advertisements, which were *? ? ?? X _ _ V JJ * printed on cioui, tacseu up uu ieuue boards, trees and other ^prominent places, and consisted of texts of scripture, such as, "Come uuto me ali ye that, labor and I will give you rest" "Prepare to meet thy God." "I am the way, the truth and the life." lu response to the query of what church he was a member, we were told that he belonged to no society, but was a member of Paul's Church; that he had gotten beyond the frailties to which common mortals were subject and now committed no sin, but lived a pure and noiy lire, ana was reauy iu ue transplanted from this world of iniquity, above and beyond which he had already risen, to one of happiness and immortality. On the farm of a Mr. Gatewood we saw our first Jack rabbit and native or long horned steer. The ears of the one and the horns of the other were decidedly their |most prominent feature, but both were larger in size than eitner raoou or steer seen uy us up iu this time. The smoke house here with its load of haras, shoulders and sides, was a curiosity, and Mr. G. had a good laugh at my expense, which was joined in also by his friends on our return to town because of my question, "What is that wheat manured with:" The meeting of the Dallas Presbytery was near at hand, and friend Jfcnvin, as a good presbyter, being bound to attend, we concluded, to join him on the trip. Our arrangements were duly made to go by private conveyance, but on the morning of our departure the clouds began to roll up with an ominous look, and fearing the mud we changed our plan and took seats in the cars from Erwins, via Dallas and Alvarado to Hillsboro, the point of our destination.

Our limited time soon passed away, and resuming our journey, after a Jwarm hand grasp at the depot, we reachcd Hillsboro about twelve at night.

The Last of a "Well-Known Columbia Printer and Newspaper 3Ian. (Special to the 1Yeics and Courier.) Columbia, July 18.?Mr. II. N.

Mr. Emlyn had oiiflfni-inrr fmm TiriorVifa rlispaep uci;u cnuviiiip nviM v ~ for many months, and for the past eight weeks had been confined to his room. lie was, however, improving, and at G o'clock this morning took a buggy ride, and several hours later Dr. Philpot, his physician" stated that the drive had helped him very much. At 4.30 Mr. Emlyn was taken violently ill, and in thirty minutes had passed away, death being caused, in the opinion of the physician, Dy me orain being attacked by heat. Mr. Eralyn was born in Charleston, of poor parents, in 1842. When a youth he went to Laurens, where he learned the printer's trade. Leaving Laurens he worked in Barnwell for a year or two, and about 1859 came to Columbia, where he worked at his trade until the outbreak of tbe war. At tbe first sound of the drum Mr. Emlyn volunteered as a private in the Governor's Guards and went with his company to Charleston, and was for ' some time stationed at Fort Sumter, i He accompanied the Uuards to Virginia, and was in active service in the infantry for one year. He then joined the Brooks Artillery, which was formed out of Kershaw's regiment, and fou?fht through the war. In 1SG6 Mr. Emlyn went to the North, where he remained for two years. " * -> ue reiurueu iu vuiuuium worked at his trade. In 1374 he was foreman of the Phoenix. Just before ' the election this paper made a political flop and advised the people to vote for (Jbamberlain. Mr. Emlyn had always been an uncompromising Democrat, md this was more than he could stand. I I He, with the majority of the printers, J withdrew from the Phoenix office and established the Columbia Register. He afterwards sold out his interest in the Register, and in the summer of 1880 was foreman on the Greenville Neics. He returned to Columbia i earlv in the fall of that year, and from then until the summer of 1SS5 was alternately foreman and city editor of the Register. He purchased the good of the Ecenina Yeoman and established the Eceniny Record as its successor. Mr. Emlvn *.vas a Master Mason. He also belonged to Myrtle Lodge, Xo. 3, Knights of Pythias, which lie founded; to the American- Legion of Honor, the Knights of Honor, the Odd Fellows, the Knights of the Golden Hale, the lied Men and the Foresters, lie was Past Grand Chandellor of the Knights of Pythias, Commander of the Legion of Honor, and Past Noble Grand of the Odd Fellows. 1 TT- ?cnitnf At* lit/ WiiSi IUC IHC iliUU mutiny ojyxmi \JI every lodge of which lie was a member.

In almost every county convention for a number of years Mr. Emlyn has represented his ward, and he has worked for Richland county iu several Congressional conventions. Mr. Emlyn had probably a greater number of friends than any other man in the city. Wherever he went he made nimseil popular. ne imu uuiiiv excellent qualities and'traits of character. His death will cause sorrow to hundreds of his friends. OUR EXCHANGES. (Spartanburg H&ralil.) We suggest that the grand jury of this county call the attention of the Legislature to the necessity of allowing trial justices to have jurisdiction in cases of petit larceny. The ends of justice are not subserved by forcing these trifling cases through .the expensive machinery of the Courts of Ses sion. (Ai/cer Journal and Revi-ew.) Little Robbie Moseley, aged eleven years, son of Mr. W. J. Jdoseley, a merchant of our town, is perhaps one of the youngest drummers in the United States.

We have received a note from Solicitor Xclson, dated Camden, July 15, 18S", in which he says: "May I trouble you, through the columns of your paper, to notify the witnesses in the Culbreath lynching case that their attendance will be required on the first clay of the approaching term of the Court of Sessions for your county? We have determined to make every exertion to dispose of this case at the ensuing term, as it has been a tremendous expense to the county, and one from which the tax-payers" should be relieved." (Manning Timet.) The story of a North Carolina girl con: mitting suicide becausc her father refused to allow her to marry the young man of her choice, caused two voting gentlemen of this town with Komeatic hearts the deepest concern. They arc alarmed for the safety of two Misses of this neighborhood."

It is to be hoped Mr. Cleveland's manner of acknowledging his debt to an humble bnt gallant railroad workman who died at his post will be imitated by all wealthy travelers in similar circumstances.

The poison had gone all through and over me and nothing was able to touch it. I was fast losing flesh aud strength, and about March, 1884,1 knocked oft" work entirely and went home to be down sick. and to die for all I could teli. T ran down so rapidly that I soon became unable to walk any distance. Later 1 went from room to room in my own house only by friends holding me up by each arm. The doses of quinine were increased until 1 often took thirty grains at a dose. The r>f this tr<*mi?ndons stimnhition was to make me nearly wild. It broke my sleep all up. and I*often walked the floor, or staggered about it, all night ' long, scarcely able to bear any noise.or even human speech. My temper was extremely irritable. As* to food, one of my little children would cat more in a meal than I could in a day. I would order food and then turn from it in disgust. I lived on quinine and other stimulants and on myself, like a bear in winter. The quinine set niv t i i- ? ,1 4.1.~ i: i ncau mil \vniri, mm mi- hijiku? as a medicine?made my stomach so sick I could not tolerate it. From 175 pounds (my proper weigh t) I ran down to 97 pounds?the weight of a li^rlit girl?and was scarcely better than a skeleton. If (tiit/bvili/ had taken a hatchct and knocked me down and killed me I should lutce been belter off. During' the latter part of this period, early in *188o, my physician said: "Miller, there's no use in my taking any more'money of yon, I can't do you any good. I might pour pounds of ipiinin?> down your throat and it wouldn't help you." On the strength of this I gave up the use. of <jui?KH' altogether, and made up my mind to do nothing more and take my chances. Three weeks afterwards?about the hist of May?my wife saw an advertisement of Kaskme in a New York paper. She told me of it. I said: "Stuff ami nonsense! it eat ft do me any good/' But she went to a druggist's, nevertheless, to get it. The druggist advised Jier^jigainst Kaskine: he said it was to throw away tier money on it. Arc. He said he didn't keen it. !>ut could iret it if she insisted on having it. Turning away in disgust my wife spoke to our neighbor, Mr. A. G. Hegewald, who got her a bottle at a drug store in Sixth avenue. Almost against my will, and without the least faith, I began taking it. In one week I was better. I began to sieep. I stopped " seeing ghosts." I b<>gan io have an appetite ami to gain streugtli. This was now the lirst of June, 188G, ami by the end of that month I was back at my bench at C. P. Smith's scroll sawing factory in llGth street, where I work now. Since then I have never lost a day from sickness. Taking Kaskine only, about forty pellets in four equal doses a day, I continued to gain. The malaria.appeared to be killed in my system, and now I've got back my old weight?175 pounds?and my old strength to labor. I am an astonishment to myself and to "my friends, and if Kaskine did not do this I don't know "what did. The only gre.-tfer thing it could do vould Is; to brinjr a dead man yr, lifn VlM.-nVltrPK A IXTtT T V!> 6:W .East Street. Xew York. P.
