Sullivan savs that lie can i go to Congress if he wished it. If it! is true lie has only to wish it, it is j hoped that he will not wish it. Vt? o>i At tlni ftountv nat>ers are i still talking of the Industrial School | ? fur women, and trying to sret their re- | spective towns to pnt in bid* tor it. i Some ?1* these towns are abont to get some raIIroj.il*, and ther say that the j school would pay better than the rail- j roads. The Charleston "liingsters" have j adopted a constitution that may re- j suit in uniiiiig" the Democracy of the ? \ ? \ city. The clause which gives the "Reformers a chance of coming 'into the "King" provides that at. the nominating convention in December a new j executive shall he elected to serve! until 1805. j Dit. Gjiifkix, Superintendent of the j Asylum, has made a long reply to the 1 charges made bv the legislative com-1 mittee, and if all he states is true, he has certainly made a vindication of himself. He has replied in a digni-! lied manner, and gives good reasons for the way in which he has managed the institution. Du. Gkiffin* should hive been accorded the right of meeting his accusers face 10 face and have had a chauce to cross-examine all witnesses giving testimony against him. anil a denial of this right is a piece of unfair;ninat; ?,? th?r note fLVAPvncrlv mark on the iavcsLl^-atioii by the legislative committee. tvEK China won't have Blair. The people ot the United States were just congratulating themselves that he would be far removed, over in China. Now it is said that China emphatically refuses to accept him as United Stares Minister, on account of his speech in Cougress on Chinese immigration. ^ Clair has tried his best to explain that speech, and put himself on Jrieudly terms with the Chinese nation, but so far his explanations have been very unsatisfactory. It is a great p'ty too, for everybody is anxious to see him out of the United States. Suggestions are already being made for him. It is suggested, that if China will not hr.ve him, he be sent to Japan. It is earnestly hoped that he will be sent somewhere across the ocean. Nobody wants him here. Kogek Q. Mills in the May Forum writes a splendid articio under the caption, "Reciprocity?Why Southward Only?'' He calls attention to the fact that the reciprocal relations with Mexico, Cuba, Central America, and South America, was resolved upon by the administration in answer to the discontent of the Republican farmers of the West who wauted a market for "another bushel of wheat and another barrel of pork/' Mr. Mills asks the very pertinent question, that if the advocates of reciprocity are "sincere in wanting to find larger markets fot agricultural products, why do they not move for reciprocity with Europe instead of with South America?" Certainly the bei>t tra?!e lor the farm products i* in the EaM, and yet the administration with the tariff laws practically prevents trade with Europe in farm product.'. The death of Count Hellmuth Yon j Meltke at the age of ninety year*, re- j moved from the world one of its; greatest military leaders, and since j Xapoleon, the most successful general j ^ of the nineteenth century. To his j genius for organization., and his un-1 rivalled strategical ability are largely i due the rank that Germany holds us j first military nation of the world. In . his younger days Von Moltke aided j t he Sultan in perfecting the descipline j ll>r* TnvL-kli 9?*niT ilis genius made itself manifest in j the Schleswig-Holstein war, which j was emphatically a "walk over" for the Prussian army. Out of the Hoi- j stein-Schleswig embroglio grew the j Austro-Prussiau war, which Yonj Moltke brought to a close in six weeks.; When the French uttered their cry of , <;On to Berlin" four years later, they ; found Prussia ahead of them, and in 1 an incredibly short time Marshal Mc- j Mahon found himself in the basin of , Sedan with Von Moltke's troops form-! ng a cordon along the encircling hill I tops This necessitated the surrender j ef the Emperor Napoleon and the i whole French army ancl the overthrow ; of the Empire. The back of France ; was broken at Sedan, though some I mouths of expiring struggle preceded peace. The proudest day Germany has ever j seen was when "William of Prussia, j son of the beautiful Louisa who had j died heart broken after the crushing j defeat of Jena, holding in captive ; train Napoleon's nephew on the ruins { of the Napolionic dynasty, and in the ! hail of Versailles built by Louis XIV, that other despoiler of Germany, was i crowned Emperor of a once move united Germany. The ^statesman-: ship of Bismarck, the powers of Von j L Moltke, had brought this glory to the ! Fatherland. Germany will mourn over "Father j Moltke" and the world will unite in j singing his requiem. The South Carolina f'ollese. The Board of Trustees hare met and reorganized the University or rather flip South Carolina College | as it vrill now be called. The plan of reorganization is much more satisfactory than many of the friends expected. The chairs of History* and Political Economy and English and English Literature are kept separate and distinct as Tiie News and Herald suggested that thev should be. Personally, we regret very much that Drs. Woodrow and Alexander were not retained. Thoy arc botli gentlemen of the rarest ability, and old students will bear testimony to their zeal, faithfulness and efficiency in their respective chairs. It is hinted that Dr. Alexander was dismissed on account of his religious views. lie is a Unitarian. lie presented a statement to the board in which he states that Bain's Logic, the text book used by him, doesn't contain anything that an intelligent protectant minister could not utter from the pulpit, and farthermore he says that he has not taught his religious views to bis classcs,! but lias kept them to himself. Dr. Alexander will be corroborated by his old students, who will deeply regret that such a useful man has been lost to the College., and lost without a cause. It is hoped that the old College is mow out of politics, and that it will be allowed to continue in the g?od work it has done for the State. Dr. McBrvde's re-election to the presidency is - -? i _ entirely satisfactory, ana wa? a ue served lienor. lie has filled the position in the past most excellently, and under his administration the College will still hold its high rauk among the best institutions in the South. Clnbs and. dabs. Politics are waxing warm in Char-1 leston. The reformers some time ago j j gpOIlUUlCUUSlV UJ g?llll/.CU. jL'CUivi.iau^ clubs and called for a nominating municipal convention in April. The members of the municipal executive committee which held over since the last mayor's election have called en all Democrats to meet in convention j in May. The reformers have refused to recognize the municipal executive committee, and there will be two tickets in the tield. j From this distance it appears to us that in Charleston as in Winnsboroand ' j several other towns the municipal j j organization is eutirelv distinct from ! I ~ ..." , ,, I the county organization, ana tne municipal executive committee holds the direct succession and must perpetuate the party. The formation of a new : county party, ordered by the State Constitution, should not have anything to do with organization for municipal government. Home rule is the gi*t of Democratic doctrine. Ex-Mayor Couirtfcnay, one of the presidents of the spontaneously elected j clubs, in a letter refusing to be bound by the executive committee cults at- j tcution to the fact that in a former j ruuuicipal campaign the old executive j committee was set aside, and intimates that the precedent will be followed ] this year. If we remember the facts correctly, there is no analogy between the action of the club's presidents in the two instances. In the Sale-Courtenay contest, there was one Democratic party. The executive committee aud the clubs belonged to the same organization. "When the executive committee laid claim to a power that the organization refused to recognize, the ward presidents took the matter in hand and caused the assembling of a convention which nominated Mr. Courtenav. But these presidents were the duly elected heads of the regularly constituted clubs, and acted for them. Today, as the reports indicate, the regular, clubs arc with the executive committee; but an entirely distinct ?.et of clubs, spontaneously organized, claim to be the regular organization and to have the right to overthrow the cxecu tire committee, and the old club organization which stands behind it. Under these circumstances we think ve are justified in claiming the absence of analogy in the two situations. No one outside of Charleston can judge of the merits of the contest. If it be true, as has been said, that there are j enough Democrats in the city to defeat both the old and the new parties, then the condition of the party is truly deplorable. Between alleged ringsters and alleged reformers, the safety of the city Democracy is seriously imperilled. The (General IVelfure. i Tiie lieyistsr says, "The general ! welfare clause, which chu?e is in the j ri^iual constitution was put there for j a purpose and is Democratic. Any- j thing that tend* to the general welfare j of the people is Democratic. This is j a'government of the people, by the! people and for the people'This j sonndi verv nicely, but when wo come i to analyse it, we cannot see exactly ! what it mean?. Of course the clause ! . i was inserted tor a Dtirnose, or, since ' the framcrs of the constitution were ! mas'i-rs in the art of composition, it j wou!il huw been omitted. It is also j Democratic, because the Democrais ; stand >qnsirely by the constitution and ! have stood by it against ail attempts j oye dy to abrogate it or insidiously 10 explain it away. Bat just what is the intent and , meaning of the expression ''srcneral i welfa:ev has been a matter for atgu | merit ever pince the attacks on the j constitution bt-gan. The distinctive difference between Democracy and all ; the panics and isms that have opposed j it, hinges on this very point. The true, simon-pure, died-in-tue-wool ! Democrat hold that the expression, ; "general welfare" is a mere general j expression for the powers enumerated j expressly, or, by fiir implication in j 1 _ . the constitution?tnat it, aaas noioiug- \ to these. Indeed after the constitution ! J had provided for the levy of taxes etc., i for the purpose of paying the debt and j providing for the common defence and j general welfare of the United States;] if this expression bore the meaning j indicated by the Register, would have i elianivl fo rMinmerale seventeen I other purposes, some hearing limi-; tations. This 111 efl'eot, would be say- : ing: ? i 1st. Congress shall hare power to j do everything that promotes the gen- J eral welfare. 2nd. Besides doing everything; that promotes the general welfare, it may do several thiugs more. The true Democrat holds distinctly the creed that the general welfare is subserved only bv keeping Congress within the strict limitations contained in the enumerated powers of the constitution and that all expansion must be confined to the legitimate application of these enumerated powers. In this sense the expression "general welfare'' is Democratic, and in 110 other. The assertion "'anything which tends to the welfare of the people is Democratic" is a somewhat glittering generality. A. Republican stump speaker makes the same claim for his " * "? 3 XT. party ana possiDiy nas govu auuiuuuv therefore since the phrase "a government of the people, by the people, for the people" is accredited to the greatest Republican ?f them all, Abraham Lincoln. A brief glance at the Kentucky resolutions of 1798, inspired by Thomas Jefferson, sufficiently disposes of any 1 sno-crestion that he can be held respon WM3C sibie for any "general welfare" grabgame. But it is hardly necessary to flail this aft-threshed straw again. A party may more on and take the position that the constitution changes to suit circumstances. But this party will not be supported by Democratic authority, nor is it a Democratic party in principle whatever be its name. JEXXIXUS JOTTIXGS. Farm Work- Increase in Acreage of Corn?
