C., June rue meeting of tne Slate Democratic Executive Committee last night was an interesting and important one. Besides the fixing of dates for campaign meetings, the question of allowing the men who voted for Weaver in 1892 to vote in the comiDg c ?mpaign was a live one. It excited the warmest talk of the evening. JBy instruction of the chairman, Secretary Tompkins read the roll of members. The majority of the regular members who were absent had telegraphed and had substitutes in their places. rThe following was the roll as made up: Abbeville?Y. J. Jones.

"CirtlQ'n^ nf TTortjhf* w introduced ?Ui. 4AUa4HUV)VA MV.wwm ?... ? the following rtsolution iu ngard to voting'at primary elections: "Resolved, TbaC in the ensuing Democratic primaries the following pledge shall be exacted by tbe managers of each yoter before he casts his vote: > " '1 solemnly swear that I am entitled t<fvote in this primary election and will abide tbe result of the same.'" u Secretary Tompkins, by request, read the oath enacted at the last" primary. I It was practically the same as tbat pro posed by Mr. Kirkland, ana the latter withdrew bis resolution. Chairman Irby remarked that there wa9 some misunderstanding as to the qualifications of a voter. He then B as follows: "Gentlemen and the Committee: "There is one question tbat is being agitated in South Carolina and has W been agitated for several months to W which I would call your attention. So i far as 1 am concerned, as chairman of the Democratic party, I ao not propose to dodge the question. In its consideration I shall not undertake to ioflu enee or dictate to any member of the committee, and I repeat it most emphatically, that I will not dictate to ft the committee, but to suggest to you, gentlemen, that we marcs right up to front and take our position upon this mr ^. question. So far as I am concerned, as " tne member of this committee from L8urens and the chairman of the ExeB cntive Committee of the party of this State, I shall not hesitate (even should it- ho np^ssarv hv a tie vote to srive mv (opinion by my vote) to express my own convictions on this question. "The question X refer to is tbis, and X am unwilling to evade it, for X see a disposition to dodge it, though I do not use the word dodge in its offensive sense?whether men who participated in the primaries of 1892, in the nomination of Stata officers and other candi Elates, who voted in the club and sent delegates to the State convention which elected delegates to the national convention at Chicago to nominate a Pres Lident?wither these men wno are known as Third part} ites, shall be permitted to participate in the general primary to be held in August next. As your chairman I feel it to be my duty to say that we should take some posiM tive, decided, outspoken action on tbis question. I say, I repeat, tbat we, as representatives of the Democratic party of South Carolina?and I am glad to see that every county is represented B here?ought not to dodge that imporh tant question. If we bslieve that the men who participated in the primaries of '92 and who voted for Weaver should not be permitted to vote at the ap proaching primaries we ought to say so. If we believe that they are Democrats within the meaning of the Constitution and rule:* of the Democratic party, thpn TCA miffht to sav so and oermit them to participate. What .1 wish to emphasize is that we should not evade or dodge this question. We ougbt to I^gfliscuss it fully whether it be in public ^or in private, but we should declare whetner or not they can participate under our rules. If we do not take such action we lay ourselves open to the charge that wo have dodged the question and that this committee was, unable to solve It one way or the other. I thought, gentlemen, that it was mj duty to say this much to you on this subject which is now open to you for discussion." Chairman Irby's remarks brought on the hottest discussion of the evening and made things lively for a good while. Immediately after the Senator had concludtd Mr. Mellette, of Sumter, onerea a veroai resoiuuuu tuab me uueu who voted for Weaver in 1892 be exeluded from voting. The motion had no sooner been made than a half dozen memders were on their feet ready to offer some kind of a resolution or to make a speech. Mr. Derham, of Horry, was recognizsd by the chair and offered the following resolution as a substitute to Mr. Mellette's resolution: ^solved. That those white men who voted the Weaver ticket in 1892 shall be allowed to vote in thecomiDg primaries." Dr. Sampsjji Pope made a stroDg speech in favor of the ^stitute. He said that this committee had allowed the Haskelite3 to vote in 1892 and the men who voted for "Weaver had a right to be treated in the same manner. The Democratic party needed white voters and did not want to throw any of them out of the party. (Applause.) The men who voted for Weaver were no worse who vr?tpri for Haskell. CAd pplause) Mr. Kirkland, of Kershaw, offered a3 an amendment to the substitute the words: "Upon taking the oath prescribed by the party." He said that he had no speech to make but thought that this provision was wise and proper. Mr. T. C. Robertson, of Pickens, thought that the proposed amendment was an insult to the men who. had voted for Weaver. There were good and true white men ia his county who voted for Weaver. Mr. Townes, of Edgefield, asked the question whether the men who violat J Ktt vr/vfin/y frtr CU lUir UcilJJS ClLiU. UJ YUUU5 XVI Weaver ia 1892 would keep their oaths if allowed to vote this year. Colonel Neal, of AndersoD, did not think any more should be required of the men who violated their pledges in 1892 than of the men who did the same thing in 1890. CoL F. M. Mixson, acting as th9 representative from Barnwell, moved tolay on the table the amendment of Mr. Kirkland. National Committeeman DonaldsoD, of Greenville, thought that the amendment should be adopted so as to prevent any misconstruction of the action of the committee. Tnof hafnTci Mr TVinnMsnn'a remarks tf uou 4JLLA.* w > .y however, the motion of Colonel Mixson to lay on the table the amendment of Mr. Kirklmd was put and carried by a vote of 21 to 8, thereby calling out th3 remarks from Mr. Donaldson that he thought some amendment should be made to Mr Derham's substitute. Senator W. D. Evan3 said he thought every party desired to increase its momViorshin iirifi its st.rpcrt.h_ Hfiwishpd that every man in America was a Demo crat. He for one would like to ask every man to come iato the party. Mr. Egbert son said that there had been a good deal of talk about the viol ationof pledges, etc. The men of his county who voted for Weaver did not consider that they had violated any pledge, unless it was a moral one. The great majority of them had not tak6u any pledge in the primary. UL. .L upo ucuaicu buau luv u??u throughout the State had bsen administered to few voters and that not many of tbos9 who voted for Weaver had taken any oa*h in the primary. Mr. Mellette said that the chairman and the ccmmittge had misunderstood his motion. He meant to exclude only taose who had taken the oath, particiated in the primary and then voted for Weaver. Hod. S. A. Nettles of Clarendon, to stop tne discusion and to please the different minded committeemen, introduced the following resolution, which was accepted by Mr. Derham in place of his own resolution; "Resolved, That no white man shall be excluded from participating in the TlamwraTim!PS whns*\?ll takethS oath required by the Dsmocratic party." Speaking to tais resolution C. A Douglass, of Richland, made the longest speech of the session, and one of the most eloquent. He said he was glad that Mr. JSfettles had introduced ^the resolution. It was along the line of liberality ana kindness and would tend to increase the membership of the party. He declared, however, that he could not remain silent after all the unkind remarks which had been made about Democrats. He said that the Haskellite movement may have been inexpedient, and he had condemned it at the time, but say that J udge Haskell was not a Democrat was to controvert history. tie asserted mat n.asiien was a j^cluvcrat and ;had al ways been one. In the heat of political discussion men might say he was not a Democrat, but in the qaiet of the home circle there came a change in that feeling and all must recognize him as a Democrat. In 1890. Mr. Douglass said, there had been no pledge in the primary. The men who voted for Hasktll had taken no pleage ?nd had violated no oath and it was tbeir risht to vote in 1892 without the sanction of the Democratic executive committee. He said that ne would be untrue to himself and to his convictions if be stood by and did not draw a distinction between the men who voted ror Weaver and those who voted for Haskell. He asserted that there was a vast difference, and all bis words intimated that the Weaverites were tbe worst of the two. Mr. Douglass was interrupted by members of the committee who asked him wnat about the Haskellites who bad voted for Ensor for Congress and if Haskeli himself had not voted for Easor. Mr. Duslass said that he did not know what Haskell had done, but ?s fnr himsplf. h*> honed that hisrisrht arm would lose its cunning when he voted for a Republican over a Dsmocrat. Mr. Douglass concluded with a patriotic appeal for pps?ce and laudatory and pretty remarks about the farmers. He wanted to see the people happy and wanted to see Mr. Nettles's resolution carried. Dr. Pope spoke of the panegyric of Mr. Dougless and of his insinuations ?Ka Waorrori hto Than T^r Pope declared tbat there was a take behind the action of the committee two years ago in allowing Haskrllites to return to the party. It was to keep from disrupting the party and to bring about harmony. White men were at, work registering r>egroes. He declared that if any one" would show him a Weaveiite who had tried to vote negroes'he would be in favor of turning him ou^ of the Dartv. Tne HaskelJites had voted negroes against white men, but no Weaverite had done so. (Loud applause.) After this the question was quickly settled. Mr. Meilett's resolution was set down on by almost'a unanimous vote and Mr. Nettles' substitute was carried: The Weaverites aDd the Haskellites and and all kinds of "ites" will be allowed to vote in the next primary provided they take the oath prescribed by tbe party. Dr. Pope said that he had been intruded by the Democrats of his county to inquire whether clubs having a membership of less than twenty-five should be disbanded. Chairman Irby said that it was his impression that no county convention should allow a delegate from a club which had a membership of less than twenty-five. It was the business of county conventions, however, to pass upon that question. Od motion of Mr. Doue'ass the rules of 1892 were adopted as"the rules for this year, a few changes being made in dates, etc. The first primary will take place on the last Tuesday in August, the28:h. A resolution was introduced authorizing the treasurer to pay the mileage of the members of the committee. 2so election of officers wa'3 held, as that is not done until the counties select new members of the committee.

Ttis Iaierettlnc Weekly Bulletin cf She State Weither Service. Columbia, June 7.?The following is the weefcly bulletin of the condition of the weather and the crops throughout the State, issued yesterday by State Observer Bauer: The temporary condition varied greatly during the week, being favorable and nearly normal for the last days of M*y, but on June 1st there came a cold wave that carried tbe mercury low enough tor very light frosts in exposed places in the Piedmont country. Damage done by the frost to the hardier plants was inconsiderable, scarcely wortn noticing, Due tne low temperature damaged cotton very much and checked the fine recovery it was making from the previous cold weather. Saturday and Sunday were warm and seasonable. There was a plenty of sunshine, with a percentage of from 80 to 90 for the whole State. The rainfall was generally light or wanting, except in the range of the counties bordering on North Carolina, two tiers deep, extending also along the upper coast. There were showers in Beaufort county. Florence county reports too much rain, and Williamsburg a plenty. The need for ram is widespread throughout the State aud the drought is becoming serious in localities with sandy soil. All crops would be much benefitted by a general, soaking rain, gardens standing in especial need of it. Of cotton it can be said tnat its condition is not as good as it was two week's ago,taking the State as a whole, and during the past week the best that can be said of it is that it remained at a standstill as the direct effect of the few cold nights, but at the present time it is next to impossible, and the attempt will not be made in thi3 bulletin to make an estimate predictive of the crop a month or two ahead. While it is reported tbat the stand is dying, except in favored localities; and infested with lice; and developing "sore shank;" and the ground lacking: moisture for growth or germination of late planting; and the large leaves shriveling and dropping off and the stalk turn ing red; and fields oeing repiowea ana replanted; and the cron centrally from two to three weeks late, yet with plenty of rain and a continuation-of the warm nights of the past two days, or in general terms,with favorable weather the condition of this staple would improve rapidly for it is not yet ia such a hopeless state but that a full crop may be made. Much depends upon the vreather of the next two weeks. Corn continues to keep a good healthy color, but does not grow much. Warmer weather will, however, make a vast improvement in a short time. A A little damage by worms noted. Rice doiLg very well, although these cold nights were not favorable for its gFOWtn. Udis iirtivcaii uuuvmuco ui u finishing in different parts ot the State, and wheat harvest well begun with uneven yields of both crops. No change to be not?d from previous reports. Irish potatoes being dug in eastern portions of the State. The yield i.3 poor and the potatoes small, but they bring satisfactory prices. A large yield would have made this a very paying crop for truck farmers and planters near shipping points. Too cocl for sweet potatoes. Tobacco doing fairly well. Melons not growing mucb, and in localities show s touch of frost. Tho-tf are in hlnsstnm in some daces. Blackberries ripening with promise of large yield, and vvilfbe about the only fruit of any abundance. Second crop of figs promises an immense yield along the coast. The few apples left in the western counties are -dropping badly. All field crops are well worked and clean and could stand a great deal of rain. Ths following places report an inch or moie of rain during the past week: Georgetown, 1.00; Beaufort 1.70; Effingham 128. Cbailrstca to Autusta. The Times and Democrat has within the last few weeks published several articles, giving at same length the rumor that the Atlantic Coast line and nnri Nashville SVStemS Dro posed to build a new road between Ashley Junction and Augusta. It was actually known taat Mr. H. Walter, of tbe former system, bad ordered a preliminary survey of sueti a line to.be made with all possible dispatch and that the work had been begun and was beiag pushed rapidly forward. A confirmation of all that has been said in The Times and J>emocrat on the subject cames from an unexpected quarter. Toe Baltimore Sun or June the &h publishes locally an acoouat of the same enterprise and on the night crecediog a press dispatch was sent out of that city covering the same ground. The Baltimore paper treats the matter as an actual enterprise and not merely i? trri I as a rumor or one. waeru uu^aiucu Its information is not known, but the account which I*, gives will be read with lcterest. The San savs: 4iTtie Atlantic Coast Line system and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company are jointly making a survey for a cevv roaa from Ashley Junction. S. C., to a connection with the Georgia Railroad at or near Augusta. The Atlantic Coast Line no?/ has a route from Ashley Junction into Charleston, connecting with the terminals in Charles ton which were recently purchased in the interest of the Louisville and Nashville Road and which formerly belonged to the South C.-troliua Railway. The Louisville and Nashville is half owner of the leas9 of the Georgia Railroad from Augusta to Atlanta, with which the new road w:)l connect. The other half of the lease is owned by th9 Central Riiiroad of Georgia. Tne Atlantic Coast Line will make its connection with the projfcted road at or near Barnwell Court House. The construction of this roid wiil give the Louisville aad Nashville Iliilroad a terminus on the Atlantic Ojean at Charleston. The Jetties have already secured twenty-two feet of water at low tide, and it is'said that this will be increased to twenty-five feet within a year, giving Charlestoa excellent shipping facilities. The new connection will also make the Atlantic Coast Line The shortest route from all points in the East to Augusta and to nearly all interior Georgie points." , KECKEANT DEMOCRATS. SEVENTY-FIVE OF THEM REFUSE TO RESPECT THEIR PLATFORM. The State Bank Tax Bill Killed?The AnBonccement la the House RecelvedTflth Cjufaelon and Applanse. Washington, Jane G.?Immediately after the routine morning business of the House yesterday Mr. Catchioga reported from the committee on rules an order respecting the farther considera- i tion of the bill to repeal the State bank : tax. It provided for discussion through- , out today's session under the five-minute rule, the vote on pending amend- i ments and passage to be taken immediately after assembling of the House tomorrow. Lr ave to piint remarks on the bill wa=? granted to all members, the i vwmiioom tn ovfpnd nvfir a neriod of the 1 ten following days. After a short debate between Meosrs. Reed and Catchings the resolution was agreed to?93 to 1 71. 1 Mr. Springer presented the substitute 1 of the committee on banking and currency for the original Brawley bill as follow?: "That the operation of Sections 3,412 1 and 3 413, Revised Statutes, and S?c- ( tion 19, 20 and 21 of the Act to amend ( existicg customs and internal revenue ( laws, and for other purposes, approved February 8, 1875, and aJl other sections ; nf aair? T?,flvised Statutes, and all Acts and parts of Acta imposing a tax of 10 per cent, on the amount of certain notes when used for circulation and paid out, be and are hereby suspended as to any such notes which were originally issued between August 1, 1893, and October 15. 1893, and no such tax shall oe collected on the amount of any such notes. Provided, that nothing herein shall sus pend the operation of such Acts as to the tax on amount of any such notes j paid out and used for circulaton after \ January 1,1894." Mr. Cox offered his amendment re- \ pealing all the laws and parts of laws i which impose a tax on State bank circulation. 1 Mr. Bowers, Republican, of California, said the bill was intended as a premium ! upon the violation of the law; it was a : notification to the banks having made their pile that the penalty of the law ] would not be eoforced against them for cnVaannanf' uiolofinna nnri ft noticft to i ' ? , the country that the New York banks. | like the New York newspapers, were to ] run the Government. Mr. Grow, Republican, ot Pennsyl- | vaaia, said a nationil bank was just as I much a local bank as though it had been \ chartered by a State. Mr. Livingston, Democrat, of Georgia, said the 10 per cent, tax law should ba ' repealed, because it was intended as a ; measure of protection to the national < bank system, and that system no longer J needed protection _< * i - c r- x.i_ n ~ Mr; TtrfOerc, jjamocrac, 01 oyuiu ^aru- j lina, said that he would vote for the Brawley bill and for the repsal of the 10 per | cent, tax for the reason that the latter =vas in the Democratic platform. For ' him, he said, party platforms were made ot only to get in on, but to stand on af- ' ter he got in. Gentlemen who came 1 into the House after having been elected 1 on a Democratic platform and repudi- ' ated the platform, 4-spreading them reives over the face of the earth and not ; Kuee-deep anywhere," need not be tur- j prised if the people repudiated them and the Democratic party. ; Mr. Q aigg. Republican, of New York, < ? -1-~ KAnAoiftAn frt ronftol B^U&C tUO ^ivpvoiutvu wv i. ibe existing tax on State bank issues Mr. Harter, Democrat, of Ohio, de- > sirtd an hour in which to pre&eet bis reasons why the State bank tax should J bs repealed, aod Mr. Cox, Democrat, of Tennessee, asked that it bs given him? some gentleman on the other side to be ' accorded the same privilege. Objection 1 ?ras made, however, and Mr. Harter de dined to proceed, sajing he had no ambition to rise simply to have his remarks extended in the Record. Mr. Kane, Democrat, of Illinois,- said j he was a hard money man, believing all , except gold and silver was make believe } money only. Ha desired to bear witness to the fact that the paper monej, how- j ever, cf the United Scates was he bes* in the world. It was a fallacy to assert ( that the money was issued by banks; it was issued by the Government through j the banks. A man who happened to hov* a Rffttfl nr e.nnntv bond had no more i right to issue notes upon that security [ ihan he had to issue ihem upon the , security ot 400 acres of good farm land. Mr. Broderick, Republican, of Kansas, , said the bill was obnoxious, it was class j legislation of the worst sort. If the tsx . was a good thing when passed, it should be enforced uatil the law had been repealed. The arrangement sought to be made ( earlier by Mr. Cox was then agreed to. i The late hours, from 3 to 5 o'clock, ] arere divided between the two side3, Mr. < Harter, Democrat, of Ohio, to occupy ! an hour in favor of the repsal of the j State bank tax and Mr. Dingly, lfcspubli- 1 can, of Maine, to control an hoar in op- J nooit.inn to the renort. Mr. Campbill, Dsmocrat, of New j York, had re*d a letter from Conrad N. ! Jordan, ex-TJflited Slate treasurer and ? president of the Western National Biok ( of New York, favoriag the repeal of the ] tax law. ; Mr. Gear, ReDuMican, of Iowa, gave i a leaf or two from his personal experi- : ence wii,h the issues of State banks in 1 ante-war time as reasons why in his J oppinion the people of that country woi^ld j not return willingly to that system of : purrencv. Mr. Harfcer said that the trouble with the country was not that it suffered an ; insufficient volume of carrency, bat from ' the quality of the currency, its inflaxibi- , lity and inability to perform promptly the purposes of money at the places i where it was needed. A new system ! was essential to the rene wed and con- < tiaued prosperity of the country, and his belief was that if proper system of State banks was established, by the end of the csumry the country would do its business upon a volume of currency of 1 ies3 per capita than tbe volume of currency today. Speaking of the work accomplished by , the State banks ia the past, Mr. Harter said the Government never had such a i friend nor such aa efficient ally as the i Slate banks of 1860. They were stron- ; *er than the Government, mam taming 20ld payments long after the latter had ' suspended. The national banking system, he said, was based upon the State bank9, but unfortunately for the country iince the best features of the State banks had not been taken in establishing national banks. In conclusion Mr. Harter : pleaded with Republicans, upon patriotic grcuuds, to vote for the repeal' of the < M < tax law, assertion that with the accomplishment of that purpose would disappear the greenback crazs and the free silvercrazi. Mr. Bland, of Missouri: 'kNot a bit Of it." Mr. Harter: "I want to say that no man on the floor of the House gives up so much in voiiDg for this bill as does the gentleman iroio Missouri. camuuaie for the Presidency, [cheers and applause] the moment be votes for this bill Lis platform disappears from beneath his feet, never more to appear." [Laughter and applause.] Mr. Kewlands, Populist, of Nevada, Baid the disease which was sought to be remedied by the proposed legislation was a world-wide disease, due to falling prices, due to the appreciation of gold. He criticised the bill because it was incompetent to do that which was expected cf it. Mr. Williams, Democrat, of Missis?mrr' Mr. Wh?#l?r. "Democrat, of Alabama, spoke briefly, and at 5 35 o'clock the House adjourned until today t:l noon. After some farther discaesion today a vote.was taken on the Cox amendment to repeal the 10 per cent, tax outricht. The vote was announced a3 yeas 102; uays 170.

Then the original bill was lost. This was the end of ten 5ays debate and a result that occasioned some surprise, and the announcement was received amid much confusion and ipplause. The defeat of the bill would seem to lay the banks once more open to the assessor ent of the penalties provided in th? law. Cox's amendment to this bill *hich was defeated by so decisive a rote, provided for the total repeal of tbe law, instead of a mere suspension of its provisons. It Was Uncle Sam'd Money. San Francisco, June 6?The claim Df ?15,000,000 filed against the Stanford ?3tate by Attorney General Olney as a preliminary step to enforce the Govarnment's claim against the original holders of tbe Central Pacific grant has iwakened much interest here. It is qow learned that the Government's tfaim was oresented on May 26, but that an attempt was made to keep the proceeding quiet in order that the financial operations of the estate need aot be embarrassed. The late Senator. Stanford's estate was recently appraisBd at S17,600,000. "Since the appraisement heavy obligatians have been met and it is stated now that the enforcement of the Government claim would practically, wipe out the estate,not only leaving the widow penniless, but cutting off all the beneficiaries under the late Senators will, including the endowment of $2,500,000 to the Stanford University. It is even said that the estate, after the liquidation of. its acknowledged debts, may not equal the amount or uie ciaim or me uavnumeat. Ia this event Senator Stanford's deed of trust, under which Stanford University was founded, would not stand in case the decision of the Courts 3hould be in. favor of tbe Government and the University would necessarily be sacrificed to satisfy the judgment. Mrs. Stanford in an interview has staled that the Government's claim will be resisted to tbe fullest extent of her ability. Today is the last under the law which Mrs. Stanford ha3 to accept or reject the Government's ciaim. j.o iu believed sbe wiil simply igaore the claim, which in lav amounts to rejection. It will then be iu order for tbe Government to insticute suit, either in the United States Courts or the Supreme Court in San Francisco.

A registration to be constitu tional must be easy, free, impartial and j public, and its purpose should be to i provide for the regulation of suffrage ; and to prevent repeating.

It is not | necessary, for elections were carried be t^een 1876 and 1882 without it and ; and now mere is the eight box law to supplement old agencies. It is hazardous to depend upon the law being used for the benefit of the Democrats, because when they divide at the polls it will afford a weapon for the dominant side to scourge their hostile brethren. Besides it is demoralizing to be dependent upon these sworn ^supervisors ; beiDg subjected to the need of committing perjury to favor their partisans and 'maRe those citizens thus accommodated and illegally favored particeps criminis. Such a law, besides being a badge of shame to a state, is a serious impedimonf frt ifa <*rnu7th and nrosDGritV. To a self-respecting and independent man there would be well grounded objections to moving into a State dominated by such a law and where constitutional rights are so easily lost or abrogated. The court can safely set aside the law, for, if the eight-box election law is not considered sufficient, there is time for the Legislature to be convened and other laws passed, while if this law stands and a new Constitution is adopted upon the vote at the next election, wherein not over one-quarter of the citizens of the State can vote,the question will some day be raised, and tne new Constitution will itself be held illegal and void.

SENATOR BUTLER REPLIES To A.lllancemaa'6 Criticism of His Let'er * to Chasrmau Mitchel). Editor Registor: In your isBue of, Mav SI a p.nrrpqnrmrlpnf. sfcninc him ? ? ~w??r ?o o ? 3elf "Alliancemap," referring to my tetter in reply to Mr. Mitehel, sajs: "Senator Butler thinks the sa'otreasury plan Is unconstitutional, and, of course, it Dever oecured to the learned Senator that the Constitution might be amended. He says the subtreasury has been abandoned, but fails to give the time when it was abandoned." It seems to me "Allianceman" gives his case away when he impliedly admits that the Constitution must be amended to make the subtreasury plan constitutional, and confirms my view. It is gratifying to be reinforced in my opinion by "Allianceman," who is evidently a man of intelligence, and, I assumed, speaks by authority. In regard to the abandonment of the subcreasury, it is only necessary to state venae win not oo disputed, that two 3ubtreasury bills were Introduced in the House in the Fifty-first Congress, which were never reported from the committee, and therefore never acted on. in the last Congress there were a number 3f members belonging to the Alliance, md in the present Congress there are juite a number, four or five from south Carolina. If any one of them tias introduced a subtreasury bill I have failed to hear of it. I think, therefore, L was justified In saying it had been abandoned. Further along "Allianceman" says: "He can see no way of the government owniog and operating railroads ixcept by the government buying those already in existence. Of course It has never occurred to the versatile Senator that the government has the right to. build ana equip such roads as ire needed. Millions of laborers would be glad of the job at very reasonable stages to be paid in legal tender greenbacks?building two, three or five thousand miles a year. Ob, no; the Senator is too good a railroad attorney to see any other way of having government railroads except by purchase of his client's properity at enormously inflated yaluation of watered stock. But the people have been thinking along this line a little in uhe interest of the people rather than of the railroad wreckers and manipulators." Ol course if the government is going into the business of buildsng railroads, to give empolyment to "millions of laborers," a very different proposition is presented. My observations were based upon the assumption that one of the-Alliance demands wa3 that the national government should own and opgrate all the railroads and telegraph and telephone lines, now inexiatence, or hereafter to be ouilt. Such, at least, was my understanding of it It s6ems, however, "Allianceman" proposes to change tne issue and have the government "build and equip such roads as are neeaea." Jtias it occurrea. to "ai lianceman" that the Constitution misrht have to be amended to enable the" Federal government to "bui:d aud equipt" railroads through the btaes, without the consent of the State?, in P IV. f |irvf,v , eminent might build railroader an a military necessity, but I should dmbr whether it h*d this constitutioaa: power in time of peace. At least ic i3 an open question, with the weight of the argument against it. ' Ailianceman" says, "Oh, no: the Senator Is too good a railroad attorney to see any other way of having govern ment railroads except by purchase of bis client'^ property at enormously in flited valuation of watered stuck." Perhaps It will snprise "Allianceman" to be told what is a fact, th?c I newr had a railroad for a client in my life, except on two occassioas, many years ago, and then for a very sh-ort time. It has usually been my fortune to be on the other side in railroad cases, so thar my clientage of railroad could not have been very heavy, and 1 could not h ive a very large Interest in the purchase of railroads by the government. Let "AlUanceman" "pick his flint and try it again." Very truly yours. M. U. JtSUTLER. Washington, June 2.

We believe the use of liquors to result in an enormous Increase of the death rate of our country, adding aboat 100,000 annually to the ^ death roll. ? 2 We believe 2lcoholic liquors used as a beverage to be one of the most potent ageacies in the ruin of moral ^ character. 3. We believe at least three-fourths of the crime committed in our land to . > be traceable to alcoholic liquors, 4. We believe the liquor traffic to be one great cause of the fearful financial depression now generally felt in our couctry, since it annually drains about 8900,000,000 from the pockets of the masses and instead of ffivincr value in * ^ ietum paralyzed productive energy of : an equal amount, ($900,000,000) thus ' making an annnal loss of nearly $2,000,- -M 000,000 to-the legitimate trade. 5. We beiieve traffic in that which is against the peace, good health, safety, commercial prosperity, and moral char acter of a community, State or nation to be in violation of the real rights of ""'i* men and therefore inherently wrong. 6. We believe all forms of license of the sale of liquor as a beverage to be morally wrong, and in violation of the btgbest purpose for which government . a exists. 7. We believe the State should prohibit absolutely the sale of liquor as a beverage and should provide for its sale only for medicinal, mechanical and sacramental purposes, with such regulations and provisions for enforce- -*k ment aod penalties for violation, as may be expected to prove efficient. 8. We believe that to make any pro hibitory law effective, the executive anc other officers of the law should be in full sympathy therewith. Jo?l E Branson, Chairman. % ^ J. R. G'.oaon, ' - ^ Ob as. P.
