Not succeeding in his scheme to
distribute the surplus of the United
States, Mr. "Wharton Barker is about
to absorb some of the superfluous
wealth of China in exchange for
American skill and energy in estab

proprietor of the American is prone
to foreign investments and has been

The Socialits propose to form a new
organization to light the George men,
and this, it is said will be known as
the A nti-Robbery Society. "Whether
this name is the Russian idea of a joke,

not clear, but there is no ambiguity
about their principles. They will denounce
the ownership of any means of
production as simple robbery, and will
demand that the wage system shall go.
Now that the government majority
has dwindled to scventv-eteht, and
all signs point to a return to power of
the Gladstone-Parneli alliance, attention
is again directed to the question
of an Irish Parliament A great deal
of discussion may be looked for during
the next few months as to what is the
best form of such a body, for a Gladstone
victory means home rule, and
home rule almost certainly implies a
Dublin Parliament sooner or later,

It seems that the Prince of little Bulgaria
is not to be snuffed out so
easily as his enemies would wish. It
is said that Italy trill stand by him,
backed by Austria and England. lie
is enthusiastically received by the
Bulgarians, including their army,
which he has succeeded in mustering
together to the number of 3,000.
While the sovereignty of this principality
is comparatively small, the
question Bulgaria represents is quite
large enough to serve time and time
again a bone of contention for the
great powers, and it may once more
and at no distant day prove to be the
cause of a mighty war. Whenever
either of the great alliances wants a
war Bulgaria will be at hand as the
excuse for the conflict.
The Irish Nationalists have selected
two of the most distinguished of their
number to visit the United States and
further explain their cause and prospects
to the American people. Mr.
Arthur O'Connor, Member of Parliament
for East Donegal, was for many
wort in flip "Rritish War Office, and
has acquired great distinction as a statistical
and political authority. Sir
Thomas Grattan Esmoade is on the
maternal side of a descendant of the
great Henry Grattan. Re is gifted
with tbe eloquence of his line, and is
regarded as one of the most brilliant
of the younger I< ish politicians. The
mass meetings under the auspices of
the American branches of tha league
addressed by those gifted missionaries
will, beyond doubt, be highly interesting
and influential.

may be instanced the abolition of the

AYe infer from the action taken by j
the merchants of Charleston and J
Greenville, and from other circum- j
stanccs which have been brought to
our notice, that the railroads arc paying
about as much attention to the
Inter-State Commerce Law as if it
had never been seriously enacted. Wc
expected the law to be evaded, but we
never thought that even a railroad
company would assume an attitude of
open tleHaiice, ana yet tins seems iu
be just what has happened. There is
but one course now for the people to
pursue; they have never fully or fairly
tried the virtue that there is in legislative
means. Congress at its next
session should repeal the Commission
and make the law absolute, affixing
such penalties to its infraction as will
secure its obedience. There arc other
remedies, loo, within the easy rcach
of the Legislature which it is unnccessarv
now to recount. The issue has
arisen and it must be settled, and what
the country wauts is a prompt ana j
immediate settlement.

A Come Down.
At the recent farmers meeting at
Anderson Mr. B. Ii. Tillman could
find nothing to talk about but the lawyers.
Of the GU in the State he wondered
how many of them made a living,
and said that "some of them sue
around the court-house and reported
for newspapers at Sl.oO and $3.00 a
column." The correspondent said
that Mr. Tillman was "pressed ior
time" and was "scattering." lie was
"pressed" for ideas. Some people
wont call a spade a spade.
For Mr. Tillman's beneiit it may be
slated that a number of the G14 lawyers
make more money in one year, and
make it honestly, too, than he has seen
since he has been trying: to boss the
politics of this State. This may not be
a very gratifying piece of information
to Mr. Tillman, bnt we cant help that,
we arc not responsible lor the measure
of other people's success. A little
more than a year ago Mr. Tillman was
busily engaged trying to make a Gov~

has come down to the homely task of
abusing a class of men who seem
scornfully incafferent to his attitude,
and properly so. If Mr. Tillman expects
to do 'Anything a? a reformer, he
must find something to talk about of
more interest to the public than the
private earnings of the members of the
bar.
Unconvinced.
Oar contemporary, the Hornet, il
lustrates the old aphorism, "a man convinced
against bis will, ?fcc."
The Ilornet, like its namesake,
makes always an admirable and very
plucky fight. It defends the "tariff
plunder" with a zeal and ability that
is altogether worthy of a better cause.
When confronted with an unanswerable
argument against the narrow dogmas
of its economic faith, the Ilornet
comes promptly forward and still denies
its force with a courage that half
redeems a sinking cause. It claim?,
ir\r\ vcifVi Otntlfillf. fihlCGritV. 0. tr.Ol'al
purpose for the "tariff plunder." Wc
had supposed that this position had
been abandoned by all modern protectionists;
we had thought that the
defenders of the system had tiling
moral purposes to the wind and entrenched
themselves in the citadel of
nationalism, but the Ilornet insists
that the benevolence of its creed
reaches "the half-paid toiler of the
field who has nothing in common with
factors." We arc sorry that the
vision of our Qontcmporary is obscured.

The Issue between tree trade ana pro-1

Cotton at the South.
Ronorts both from government and !
private sources indicate a slight falling
offin this year's cotton crop as
against the figures of 1S3G-S7. It will
perhaps be less than present estimates.
Cotton has a way of looking badly
at this time, as a result of the midsummer
droughts, but- it nearly always :
freshens up under the impulse of warm 1
rains and hot suns in early September,
so that the "top crop" bolls fill out
while the farmers arc gathering the (
bottom and middle crops. The total <
yield will, in all probability, cxcecd 1
six millions of bales, aggregating be- 1
tweeu 250,000,000 and 300,000,000 j
pounds of lint cotton and about G00,- !
300,000 of seed. i
Since our Southern friends have put [
s:> vast an acreage into cotton?for a
crop of this size represents a planted
area of 24,000,000 or more of acres? <
we trust their expectations may be <
realized. There is little enough profit 1
in planting cotton at best, and those 1
who devote their time and energies to ,
a ]
that pursuit can ill afford to lose even .
the smallest fraction of the possible i
recompense.- We~a^2_glad to believe, <
therefore, that the presenf"~?utlook is j
favorable, and that the cotton Lrrtr>rcrej_j
will realize practically all that they
aad a right to expcctBut
how ranch better it would be s
gOMtMC T.1"!?is -r;i I ? ?f?B?
for the South if at least one-half of the <
tremendous area now monopolized by :
cotton were diverted to other a^ricul
= i
turn! u-es! How much better if the ]
Southern farmer would set about ruis- j
ing his own supplies, his own meat ]
and bread, fruits, dairy and garden 1
products, thus making himself thor- j
oughly independent as regards the ne- 1
ccssitics of life and using cotton merely
as a surplus article! Under such a
policy the South would soon grow i
rich nnd nrosnerons and populous, '
immeasurably beyond any possibility j

The iirantl Army's Danger. j
The novts that a number of Grand ,
Army posts when they marched under !
a port rait of President Cleveland at
Wheeling1 on JKriday trailed their flags '
in the dust and made threats tbat they !
would tear the banner down, ought i
not to cau>e any particular surprise.
There huve been too many evidences
cf late that this organization, which
started with such a noble aim and .
purpo>e, has fallen into the power of ]
men who regard it simply as a politi- j
cal machine to further their selfish
ends. i
We do not consider it a misfortune
that these Grand Army posts have i
seen fit to offer publicly so gross an '
insult to our Chief Magistrate. "We :
regret, of course, that any body of ,
veterans could be found who would <
glory i:i a course which puts them in
such an unenviable light, but If this |
once-honored society is irretrievably ;
in the power of pension grabbers and i
demagogues, it is well that the fact
should be widely known.

went inarching by the officers harried
to and fro, urging their men to lower ,
their banners. Many Democratic
members of the Grand Array, when
they realized what was taking place,
tore their badges from their coats and
left the ranks. The excitement reached
its height when Encampment No. 1
of the Union Veteran Legion of Pittsburg
passed under the banner with
their flags high in the air and with
many of the members with their heads
uncovered.

affeclion of the people that it has had
in the past, there will have to b& a
radical reorganization in many of its
posts. We know nothing of the political
complexion of the members of
the Pittsburg1 Legion who made such
a striking exhibition of their independence
at Wheeling, but it is safe to
assume that they numbered as many
Republicans in their ranks as Democrats.
It was not a question of politics,
but whether they were willing to
follow blind!v the contemptible course
of the smaller Fairchilds and Tuttles
of the Grand Army. It is time for the
honest members of tho society,. like
those of the Pittsburg Legion, to-bestir
themselves if they want to save it from

during his life. Such a monument
would be more enduring than
marble or brass, and would afford
relief to many an aged and infirm

time to consider this matter, for in
the next twenty-five or thirty years

During the prohibition contest in
Texas Jefferson Davis wrote a letter
to Ex-Gov. Lubbock who was once a
member of his staff. He took grounds
against prohibition, while at the same
time he favored temperance. The
Anderson InteUiyencer speaks harshly
of Mr. Davis on account of this letter.
IL was wrong to do so. It is time for
the newspopers of the South to let up
on Jefferson Davis. He has no equal
in America. He distinguished himself
in the old army when a young
man. lie made a great reputation in
Congress both as Itepresenlative and

Near the village ofZiilingdorf,
in Lower Austria, lives
Maria Haas, an intelligent and
industrious woman, whose stoiy
of physical suffering and final
relief, as related by herself, is
of interest to Endl-sii women.
"I was employed,' she says,
"in the work of a large farmhouse.
Overwork l?n.;aght on
sick headache, iv. lowed by a
deathly fainting and sickness
of the stomach, until I was
unable to retain either food or
drink. I was compelled to
take to my bed for several
weeks. Getting a little better
from rest and quiet, I sought
to do some work, but was soon
taken with a pain in my side.
which, in a little while seemed
to spread over my whole body,
and throbbed in my every limb.
This was followed by a cough
and shortness of breath, until
finally I could not sew, and I
took to my bed for the second,
and, as I thought, for the last
time. My friends told me that
my time had nearly come, and
that I could not live longer
than when the trees put on
their green once more. Then I
happened to get one of the Seigel
pamphlets. I read it, and
my dear mother bought me a
bottle of Seigel's Syrup,
(Shaker Extract of Roots)
which I took exactly according
1r\v? r? t -naf

taken the whole of it before I
felt a change for the bettei*. My
last illness "began June 3d,
1882, and continued to August
9th, when I began to take the
Syrup. Very soon I could do a
little light work. The cough
left me, and I was no more

perfectly cured; and oh,
how happy I am! I cannot
express gratitude enough for
Seigel's Syilup (Shaker Extract
of Roots). Now I must
tell you that the doctoi-s in our
district distributed handbills
cautioning the, people against
the medicine, tSling them it
would do no good.\ and many
were thereby intiuenced-tp de
stroythe Seigv.l pamphlets; l>ut>
now, whenever one is to be
found, it is kept like a relic.
The few preserved are borrowed
to read, and I have lent
mine for six .miles around our
district. People have come
eighteen miles to get me to buy

know a woman who was looking
like death, and who told
them there was no help for her,
that she had consulted several
doctors, but none could help
her. I told her of Seigel'3
Syrup, and wrote the name

make no mistake. She took
my advice and the Syrup, and
now she is in perfect health,
and the people around us are
amazed. The medicine has
made such progress in our
neighborhood that people say
they don't want the doctor any
more, but they take the Syrup.
Sufferers from gout who wer.t
confined to their beds and could
hardly move a finger have been
cured by it. There is a girl in
our district who caught a cold
by going through some watt r,
and was in bed live years with
uostiveiiesaauu i ijeiuiiaiicpaiiis,
and had to have an attendant
to watch by her. There was
not a doctor in the surrounding
district to whom her mother
had not applied to relieve her
child, hut every one crossed
themselves and said they could not
help her. Whenever the little bell
rang, which is r::ng in our place
when anybody is uoad. wc thought
surely it was fo: K-r; but Seigci's
Syrup and I?iIIs (./.Laker Extract of
Loots) saved her life and now she
is as healthy as anybody, goes to ,
church- and ?i work even in the
fields, Everybody v.-.as astonished
when they saw- out, knowing
how many years sho had been in
bed. To-day sh^ Is her gratitude
to mine for God s mercies and
