Joiix 1^. Sullivan savs that lie can i
go to Congress if he wished it. If it!

hoped that he will not wish it.

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; ?,?

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.

variety at ?1.50 per bushel, price reduced
on larjjc orders.
Cash must accompany orders and
freight prepaid, as R. R. will not accept
Cotton Seed without prepaying
freight. The price on improved seed
wili not be rcduced by taking- over a
peck, but will be in ;hc others if
ordered in large lots.
The farmer who buys a peck of the
Improved Seed will consider himself
fortunate next fall. 1 have never seen
anvthiwg to equal it.

"When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla j
I was feeling real miserable, suffering :
x great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak (
that at times I could hardly stand. I looked,
and had for some time, like a. person in consumption.
Hood's Sarsaparilla did mo so
much good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it." Mb3.
