The little one thought f?r a while,
Then answered, with a wlstfnl smile: 1
"The thing that I wish most of all 8
Js to be big, like you, and tall." ?
1 asked a maiden, sweet and fair.
With dreamy eyes and wavy hair: %
"What would you wish, pray tell me true, I
That kindly fate should bring to you?" ?
With timid mien and downcast eyes j
And blushes deep and gentle sighs, t
Her answer came: "All else above .
I'd wish some faithful heart to love."
I asked a mother, tried and blest. 1
With babe asleep upon her breast: t
"Oh, mother fond, so proud and fair. ,
What is thy inmost secret prayer?''
She raised her calm and peaceful eyes,
Madonna-like up to the skies: \
"My dearest wish is this," said she,
"That God may spare my child to me." I
Again, I asked a woman old,
To whom the world seemed hard and cold: '
"Pray tell me, oh, thou blest in years. ]
What are thy hopes, what are thy fears?" I

THE DRESS TRAGEDY
" n? P.inM>?a ni> tha 11 flat 2] Cfl Of the
A6V? -"-fi w- -??
Idol of Fashion.
? Brooklyn, Aug. 5.?Rev. Dr. Talmage,
who is now in Melbourne on his
* ^ round the world tour, has chosen aa the
subject of his sermon for today through
the press 'The Tragedy of Dress," the
text selected beirg I Peter iil, 3, 4,
"Whose adornirg let it not be that cutward
adorning of plaiting the hair and
the wearing of gold or ot putting on of
or?r?or?i hnt iflt it he the hidden man of
the b?art."
Tbat we should all be clad 13 proved
by the opening of the first wardr&be in
in paradise with its apparel of dark
green. That we should all,- as far a3
cur means allow us, be beautifully and
gracefully appareled is proved by the
fact tbat God never made a wave but he
gilded it with golden sunbeams, or a tree
but he garlanded it with blossoms, or a
sky but he studded it with stars, or allowed
even the smoke of a furnace to
ascend but he columned and lurreted
and domed and scrolled it into outlines
of indescribable gracefulness. When I
see the apple orchard of the sprmg and
the pageantry of the autumnal forests, I
??;? iU.i
come iO IQC CUUCiUHiULL lum u uaiuic
ever doe8 join ihechurch, while she may
be a Quaker in the silence of her worship,
see never will be a Quaker in the
style of her dress. Why the notches of
a fern leaf or the stamen of a water lib Why,
when the day departs, does it let
the folding doors of heaven stay open so
long, when it njight go in so quicklj?
One summer morning I saw an army
of a million spears, each one adorned
with a diamond of the first water?I
mean the grass with tbe dew on it.
When the prodigal came home, his father
not only put a coat on his back, but
jewelry on his hand. Christ wore a
beard. Peul, the bachelor apostle, not
with ens sAntimentR.lit'C. ad.
mired the arrangement of a woman's
hair when he said in his epistle, "If a
woman have long hair, ii is a glory unto
her." There will be a fashion in heaven
as on earth, bat it will be a different kind
of fashion. It will decide the color of
the dress, and the population of tbat
country, by a beautiful law, will wear
white. I say these thiogs as a background
to my sermon, to show you tbat
I have no prim, precise, prudish or cist
iron thsories on the subject cf human
apparel. But the goddess of fashion
has net up her throne in this world, and
at the sound of the timbrels we are all
? - expected to fall down and worship. The
Old and ??ew Testament of her Bible are
the fashion plates. Her altars smoke
wit n ine sacnnce 01 tne Doaies, mrnas
and souls of 10,000 victims. In her
temple four people stand in the organ
loft, and from them there comes down a
cold drizzle of music freezing on the ears
of her worshipers. This goddess or fashion
has Taecome a rival of the Lord of
heaven and earth, and it is high time
that we unlimbered our batteries against
this idolatry. When I come to count
the victims of fashion, I Snd as many
masculine as feminine. Men make an
aasy tirade agaiubt woman, as though
she were the chief worshiper at this
ir?/\lofw\no oVmrinA on/1 r?A HnnKf ortma

men in the more conspicuous ptirt cf the
pew have already cast glances at the
more retired part of the pew, their look
a prephecy of a generous distribution.
My sermon shall be as appropriate for
oue end of the pew as for the other.
Men are as much the idolators of fashion
a8 women, but they sacrifice on a
different part of the altar. With men
the fashion goes to cigars and clubrooms
and yachting parties and wine suppers.
In the United States the men chew up
and smoke $100,000,000 worth of tobacco
every year. That is their fashion. :
Ic London not long ago a man died who
badstarted m life with $750,000, but he :
ate it all up in gluttonies, sending his i
agents to all parts of the earth for some :
rar6 delicacy ,or the palate, sometimes i
one plate of food coasting him $300 or
$400. He ate up his whole fortune and
had only one guinea left. With that he !
b?ught a woodcock, had it dressed in the i
very best style, ate it, gave two hours i
for digestion, then walked out on West i
minister bridge and threw himself into 1
the Thames and died, doing on large
scale what you and I have often 3een i
done on a small scale. But men do not :
abstain from millinery and elaboration I
of skirt through anv superiority of humi- i
lity. It is only because such append- i
ages would be a blockade to bas-jaess. '
What would sashes and trains 3 J yards i
lone do in a stock market? And jet men 1
are the disciples of fkshion jast as much i
as woman. Some of them wear boots ]
sot ight they can^hardly walk in the paths <
of righteousness. And there are men !
who buy expensive suits of clothes and i
never pay for them, and who go though i
the streets in great stripes of color, like
animated checkerboards. I say these
things because I want fo show you that
I am impartial in my discourse, and that
both sexes, in the language of the surrogate's
office, shall "share and rhare t
alike." As God may help me, I shall
show you what are the destroying and |
deathful influences of inordinate fashion. <
Thft first hftlefhl T ia <
ia fraud, illimitable and ghasty. Do you
known that Arnold of the Revolution
proposed to . II his country in order to
get money to support his wife's wardrobe?
I declare here before God and
this people that the effort to keep up expensive
establishments In this country
is sending more business men to temporal
perdition than all other causes
combined. What was it that
sent Gilman to the penitentiary,
and Philadelphia Morton to the
waterinsr ol stocks, and th? in.
aurance presidents to perjured state- c
ments about their assets, and has com- (
pletely upset our American finances? r
What was it that overthrew the United r
States secretary at Washington, the crash i
of whose fall shook the continent? But \
why should I go to these iamous default- 2
ings to show what men will do in order t
to keep up great home style and expen - r
sivft wardrohft- wh?n vf>ti enH T knn? v
- scores of men who are pat to their wits' j:

Our politicians may theorize until the

the best way of improving our monetary a

ligh class funeral, with silver handles at 1
,he side of the ccffio of extraordinary
r-rightness, it will b? found out that the |
mdertaker is cheated out of his legiti j
uate expenses! Do
not send to me to preach the fun- ,
;ral sermon ot a man who die3 like that i
[ will blurt out f,he whole ttuth and tell \
Lhat be was strangled to death by his j
life's ribbons. Oar countries are (

^LCOOtU wv u vawi* A v? v uv? ww. j
prised to ?:ad that the putting up of ODe ]
public buildiDt? in Xew York cost mil- ,
iors of doliars more than it ou^ht to ]
have cost when jcu find that the man (
who save cut the con tree 18 paid more j
than $5,000 for his daughter's wedding 1
dress. Cashmeres of a thousand dol- f
lars each are not rare on Broadway. It ,
is estimated that there are 10,000 wo- ,
men in these two cities who have expended
on their personal array $4,000 a i
Tear. j
"What are men to do in order to keep ,
nn pnch home wardrobe*? Steal! That i
is the only respectable thing they can .
do. During the last fifteen years there j
have been innumerable fin? businesses
shipwrecked on the wardrobe. The (
temptation comc s in this waj: A man |
thinks m^re ot his family than eft' all the ,
world outside, and if they spend the
evening in describing to him the superi- j
or wardrobe of the iamuy across the j
street, that they cannot bear the sight ,
of, the mau is throws on his gallantry j
and on his pride of Jamily ana without
translating his feelings into platn language
he goes into extortion and issuing ,
of false stock and skillful penmanship in t
writing somebody else's name at the
foot of a promissory note, and they all J
go down together?tbe bust-ana to me
prison, the Wife to the sewing machine,
the children to be taken care of by those
who were called poor relations. Oh,
for some new Shakespeare to arise and
write the tragedy of human clothes!
Will yet forgive me if I say 111 tersest
shape possible that some of the men
have to forge and to per j are and to swindle
to pay for their wives' dresset? I
will say it whether you forgive me cr
nor.
Again, inordinate fashion is the foe of
all Christian almsgiving. Men and women
put bo much in personal display
that they often have nothing left for God
and the cause of.soflering humanity. A
Christian man cracking his Palais Royal
glove across the back by shutting up
his hand to hide the cent he puts into
the poor box. A Christian woman at
the story cfthe Hottentots, cryins copious
tear:* into a $25 handkerchief and
then givin? a 2 cent piece to the collection,
thrusting it under the bills so people
will not know but it was a $10 goldOne
hundred dollars for incense
to fashion: 2 cents for God, God gives
as 90 cents out of every dollar. The
other 10 cents by command of bis Bible
belong to him. Is not God liberal according
to his tithing system laid doarn
in the Old Testament? Is not God liberal
in giving us 90 cents out of a dollar
when he takes bat 10? We do not like
that. We want to have 99 cents for
ourselves and 1 for God.
Now, I would a great deal rather steal
10 cents fromyou than from God. I think
one reason why a grest many people do
not get along in worldly accumulation
faster is because they do not observe
this divine rule. God says, "Well, if
that man is not satisfied with 90 cents of
a dollar then 1 will take the whole dol
lar, and I will give it to the man or wo
man who Is honest with me." The
greatest obstacle to charity m the Christian
church today is the fact that men
expend so mnch money on their table,
and women so much on their dress, they
have got nothing left tor the work of
God and the world's betterment. In i
my first settlement at Belleville, N. J.,
the canse of missions was being present- :
ed one Sabbath, and a plea for the charity
of the people was being made, when J
an old Ciiristihn man in the audience 1
lost his fcj;lance and said right ought in ,
the midst of the sermon, "Mr. Tilmage J
how are we to give liberally to these ;
srand and glorious causes when our fam- ]
ilies dress as tbey do?" I did not an- 1
swer thai question. It was the only i
time in my i>fe when I had nothing to <
say.
Again, inordinate fashion is distraction ]
to public worsfeip. You know very well
there are a good many paopie who come ;
to church iost as they go io the races to '
see who will come out first. What a ?
flutter it makes in church when some j
woman with extraordinary display of \
fashion ccmes in! "What a love of a ;
bonnet!" uays some one: "What a perfect
fright!." say five hundred. For the ]
most merciless critics in tne world are
fashion critics. Men and women with
30uls to be 3aved passing the hour in ]
wondering where that man got hts era- ]
vat or what store the woman patronizes. ?
En many of our churches the preliminary <
exercises are takeh up with the discus- J
jion of wardrobes. It is pitiable. 13 it 1
cot wonderful the Lord does not strike 1
the meeting houses with lightning! '
What distraction of public ?7orship! Dy- 4
inor men and wnmnn. whose hndiffs are
300Q to be turned into du3t, yet before
three worlds strutting like paacocks, the
awful question of the soul's destiny
submerged by the question of navy blue
velvet and long fan train skirt, long
enough to drag up the church aisle, the
husband's store, office, shop, factory,
fortune and the admiration of half the
people in -ie building. Men and women
some late ;o church to show their clothes
People siting down in a pew or taking
up a hyn:,nbook, all absorbed at trie
same timet in personal array to sing:
Rise, uysoul, and stretch thy wings;
Thy better portions trace.
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven, thy native place.
I adopt the Episcopalian prayer and
say, "Good Lord, deliver up!"
Insatiate fashion also belittles the mOnr
minrJa ht* nnlnrcrA/1 r?r ?
Jwindla jest in proportion to the impor- <
ance of the subject on which we con- k
stantly dwell. Can you imagine any (
.hing more dwarfing to the human intel
ect than the study of fashion? I see ]
nen on the street, who, judging irom ]
iheir elaboration. I think must have
-aken two hours to arrange their apparel (
flJter a few vearsofthat kind of absorp.ion,
which one of McAllister's magnily
ng glasses will be powerful enough to
nake the man's character visible. They J
ill land in idiocy. I have seen men at J
,he summer watering places through f
ashion the mere wreck of what they {
)nce were. Sallow of cheek. Meager t
>f limb. Hollow at the chest. Showing f
10 animation save in rushing across a r
ooui to pick up a lady's fan. Simper- c
ns: along the corridors, tbe s>>me com- ?
)Uments they simpered 20 years ago. A 1
Sew York lawyer at United States g
tote! Saratoga, within bur hearing- r
ushed across a room to say to a sensi- t
>le woman, "You are as sweet as *
caches!" The fools of fashion are J?
nyriad Fashion not only destroys the ji
>odv, but :t makes idiotic the intellect.
Yet my friends, I have given you only ^
he milder phase of this evil. It shuts t
, great multitude out of heaven. The c
irst peal of thunder that shook Sinai de- j
lared. "Thou shalt have no other God d
efore me " and you will have to choose 3
MaaMiir^iin4 i fir? ' r
[>etweea the goddess of iashion and the
Christian God. There are a great many
seats in heaven, and ihev are all easy
seats, bet not one seat for the devotee
5f fashion. Heaven is for meek and
jaiet spirits. Heaven is for those who
rMolr mnro df Qfuila than <"lf Ih^if
Dodies, Heaven is lor those who have
aaore joy in Christian charity than in dry J
;oods religion. Why, if you with your
dolatry of tashion sbonld somehow get
nto heaven, >ou would be for putting a
French rooi on the "house of maDy
naosions." Give up this idolatry vf
iashion or give up heaven.
What would you do staniiog beside
;he Countess of HuotiDgtoD, wbose joy
t was to build chapels tor the poor, or
with that Christian woman ol Boston
who fed 1,500 children of tbe street at
Faccail hall on New Year's day, aivicc
Dut a3 a sort of doxology at the end cl
;he meeting a pair of shoes to each one
)f thf m, or those Dorcases of modern
society who have consecrated their needoo
thu T.<ir<1 and who will crpt p.ti?.rnal
reward for every "tUch they take. Op,
bcq and women. give up the rdolatry
)f fashion. Tbe rivalries and the competitions
of such a lifa are a stupendous
ivreichedness. You will always fiad
some one with brighter array, and with
more palatial residence, and with laven3er
kid gloves that make a tighter fit.
A.nd if you buy this thing and wear it
^ou will wish you had bought something
slse and worn it. And the frets of such
i life will bring the crows' feel, to your
temples before they are due, and when
jcu come to die you will have a miaerible
time. I have seen men and wouen
of fashion die, and I never saw one
cf them die well. The trappiogs off,
therp they lay on the tumbled pillow-,
and there were just two things that
oothered them?a wasted life and a coming
eternity. X could not pacify them,
for their body, mind and soul had been
exhausted in the worship of fashLn, and
Lhey csuld not appreciate the gospel.
When I knelt by Iheir bedside, they
were mumbling oat their regrets and
3aying: "0 God! 0 Goc!" ^.Their garments
hang ap in the wardrobe never
again to be seen by them. Without
any exception, so tar as my memory
serves me, they died without hope and
went into eternity unprepared.
The most ghastly deathbeads on earth
are iha one where a man dies of delirium
tremens, and the other where a woman
dies after having sacrificed all her faculties
cf body, mind and sou! in the worship
of fashion. My friends, we must
appear in judgment to answer for what
we ha /e worn on oor bodies as well as
for what repentances we have exercised
with our souls. On that day I see coming
in Beau Brummel of the last century,
without his cloak, like which all
England got a cloak, and without his
cane, like which all Easland sot a cane;
without his snuff-box, like which all
England got a snuff-box. He, the fop
of the age3, particular about everything
but bis morals, and Aaron Burr, without
[the letters that down to old age he
showed ia pride to prove his early wicked
gallantries, and Absolom without his
hair, and Marchioness Pompadour Without
her titles, and Mrs. Arnold, the
belle of Wall street when that was the
center of fash'on, without her fripperies
of vesture.

go away into eternal expatriation, while
among the queens of heavenly society
will be found Vashti, who wore the
modest veil before the palatial bacchanalians,
and Hannah, who annually
made a little coat for Samuel at the temple,
and Grandmother Lois, the ancestress
of Timothy, who imitated her virture,
add Mary who gave Jesus Christ to
the world, atd many of you, the wives
and mothers and sisters and daughters
of the present Christian church, who,
through great tribulation, are entering
into the kingdom of God. Christ announced
who would make up the royal
family of heaven when he said, "WhoBoever
doeth the will of God the same is
my brother, my sister, my-mother."
Protest Against Sugar Sacks.
Farmers who hereafter cover their
bales of cotton with sugar sack bagging
will be anable to Had a market for
their product. The cotton manufacturing
companies who consume the cotton
both here and in New England protest
against its use and have given notice
that they will not receive a bale of cotton
this year that is packed in the sugar
3ack bagging. The objection to the
substitute material tbat has been used
Is that it is heavier than ordinary jute
bagging, takes water quicker and retains
it longer and stains and damages
the cotton immediately next to the
covering much more than the jute.
The reason it stains the cotton more is
that little or no air can pass through it'
There is little if any of the cotton that
comes to this market packed in the
mgar sack bagging, but for the information
of the farmers who may be considering
its use. The Chronicle below
gives the protest of the manufacturers
which is being circulated here
md elsewhere:
Boston, Aug. 1st, 1894.
President of the New York Cotton Exchange:
Dear Sir:?We Treasurers of Cotton
Manufacturing Companies in New
England, hereby enter our protest
igainst the use of sugar sacks in the
covering of efotton bales in the States
growing cotton for the reason that, beng
closer than the ordinary j ute bagjing,
it takes water quicker, absorbs
nore, retains it longer, and stains and
lamages the cotton immediately next
;he covering much more than the j ate.
kny extra loss to the mills from such
covering would cause us to reject any
:otton thu3 covered.

Solid on *Vd?r?l Constitutional QifStlono.
Ths following, which Is the fall text
of Judge Simontion's decision in the Silver
habeas corpus case?the case upon
which the State is endeavoring to have
the United States SuDrem3 Ccurt declare,
whether the J93 dispensary law
is in violation of the constitution of the
United S',ate3 or not? vill b? louad of
great interest:
The United Stales of America, District
of South Carolina, 4th Circait? In
the Circuit Ccurt?In the matter of
A. Silver.
This is a petition for discharge from
custody under writ of habeas corpu3.
The petition sets cut that Silver is a
Russian subject, an alieD, and that he
has been Bince the year 1892 and is
now doins business or trading m the
State of Siuth Carolina. That he is
wroDgfully detained and imprisoned by
Mr. John H. Dakes, sheriff cf Orangeburg
county in said State, on a warrant
issued by Mr. Charles P. lBrun3on,
a trial justice, on 21st July, 1894, for an
alleged violation of the act of the General
Assembly of the State of South
Hamlina onnnu'J/1 951 1SQ3
VUIV1IUI4) M^T^/4 I VV* MV A wvwu* *wv v
entitled: An act to declare the law in
reference to and farther regulate the use.
sale, consumption, transportation and
disposition of alcoholic liquors or liquids
within the State of SDuth Carolina and
and to police the same.
The petition avers and charges in
the?e words, "that the said act is unconstitutional,
null and vjid, in violation
of and repugnant to numerous and
sundry provisions contained in the Constitution
of the United States and that
of the State of South Carolina, and that
it is in violation of the treaty no v existing
between the United States and the
Russian Empire."
The Hon. 0. W.Bachanan, Attorney
General of the State of South Carolina,
was present at the presentation of
the petition, and upon the issuance of
tne writ mea me reiura 01 me saerm
thereto. The return simply submits
the warrants of the trial justice upon
which the sheriff acted. No mention
whatever is made in the warrant or in
the affidavit on which it was issued of
the act of 1893, set out in the petition,
nor is there any reference thereto. The
argument has taken a wide range, and
the fundamental principles of government,
primordial rights of the people
and the limitations of legislative power
have been fully and learnedly discussed.
This line of argument will not be followed,
for the grounds on which a conclusion
has been reached lie in a very
narrow compass.
The Courts of the Uniled States are
very reluctant to interfere with the criminal
process of the State courts. In
Cook vs. ITyrt, 140 U.S. 195, the Supreme
Court, recognizing the right under
proper circumstances so to interfere,
and adhering to its ruliDgs in ex parte
Royall, 117, U. S., 241, and ex parte
jconaa, 1 Did OIU, goes uu uuu Bayo;
"While the power to issue writs of habeas
corpus to Stale courts, which are
proceeding in disregard of rights secured
by the Constitution and laws of the
United States exist, the practice of exercising
this power before the question
is raised ordeterminded in the State
court is one which should not be encouraged.
The party charged waives no
questioa of jurisdiction by submitting to
a trial of his case on the merits, and we
think that comity demands that the Slate
courts, under whose process he is held,
should be appealed to in the first instance.
Should such rights bo denied his remedy
in the Federal Court will remain unimpaired."
Sse also in re Frederick, 149
U. S. 74 is this one of those exceptional
caaes in which this court should interfere?
The avarments of the petition are
vague and uncertaia. They contain a
sweepifig assertion, that the act of 1893,
under which he alleges tnat ne is prosecuted
is null and void, *'In violation of
and repugnant to numerous and sundry
provisions" of the Federal State Constitutions,
Over eo much of this assertion as refars
to the Constitution of the Stale of
South Carolina this court has no jaris
diction in habeas corpus. It can only
inquire if the prisoner i3 in custody for
an act done or omitted in pursuance ot
law of the United States or ot any order,
process, or decree 01 a court of the same
or of a jadge thereof, or is in custody m
violation of the Constitution of the
United States. (Revised Statutes ot the
United States, Section 753 ) See in re
Burves, 138 U. S., 586.
The sheriff's justification for holding
the prisoner m the warrant of the trial
justice. That warrant is i?iued on an
affidavit, with a distinct, direct averment
that ?ne A. Silver, at his store in
the city of Orangeburg, in the county
and State aforesaid, on the 21st of Jalv,
1894, did unlawfully sell intoxicating liquors,
to-wit, one pint of whiskey, without
a permit, in violation of law. The
warrent recites that whereae, complaint
has been made before me that A. Silver
has unlawfully violated the dispensary
act in selling intoxicating liquor, and
without permit, certificate or Slate
license, orders his apprehension.
The Supreme Court of South Carolina
in McCullough vs, Brown, Mss., 1894,
has held that so much of the dispensary
law of 1892 as forbids the sale of intoxicating
liquors without a license is not
in conflict with the State Constitution.
Snnr?m? flnnrhnf the United States
in an unbroken current of decision has
settled beyond question that ' intoxicating
liquors are within the control
of the police powers of the Stales,
and that State statutes regulating sales
under license, and even prohibiting sales
altogether, are not in conflict with any
provision of the Constitution of the
United Slates or any law made thereun?
der.
Were the petitionei a citizsn of this
State or of the United States, this court
could not intefere with this prosecution.
Nor does the fact that he is a Russian
subject change the situation. He Is
charged with an ofl'ense, not because he
is an alien, but beeluse, being in trade
in South Carolina, he had violated her
laws. Coming to the State an alien, do
ing business thereiu, he is subject to the
laws of the State, and mast render the
3ame obedience to them as is required
citizens. Hi& alienage gives him no
exemption and no treaty cculd put him
dii a better footiag than a citv.en. lie
lannot be discriminated against because
jf his alienage. There cau be no discrimination
in his favor because of his
alienage.
Let the prisoner, A. Silver, be re
nanded to the custody of the sherifl ot
Jrangcburg county, and his petition be
md it is hereby dismissed.
Charles II. Simonton,
Circuit Judge.
The Columbia Slate says wnen asked
,he view the State took of the decision,
dttoruey General Buchanan said that
,he State construed the opinion to
nean that there is nothing in the 1893
aw which is contrary to the Constitution
of the United States. lie says,
further, that the decision was just what
,he State has expected, Judge Simonton

in theCantini case. The State

WAR TO THE KNIFE.
EdI or Oantr Gies f >r that "Whit washing
Ceinualttee."
Spartanburg, S. C., Aug. 10.?The
! Piedmont Headlight, of last week published
the following:
The blackest and meanest negro in
South Carolina, when arraigned, has a
right to employ counsel, to face his accusers
and enter a defence. The thought
of arraigning, trying and condemning
a man in secret counsel, and without
his even knowing that he is on trial, or
that a case has been made against him,
is so repulsive to every sense of fairness
and justice as to disgust our American
people.
And yet this is just what the State
Alliance of South Carolina did in the
case of the editor of the Piedmont
Headlight. We received notification
from that body that the charges we
made against I). P. Duncan were to be
investigated, or that our loyalty to the
Order was questioned. So while we
were in blissful ignorance of the fact
that our arraignment was going on at
Aiken, and while at our office, more
than one hundred miles from the scene
of the trial, we woke up one morning
to read in a daily paper thrown at our

agaiast Exchange Manager Dancan
have been investigated that
Duncan was "vindicated" and that
Gantt expelled from the Alliance.
Here we find this rapresentative organization
of farmers, whose motto is
"Equal rights to ali and special privileges
to none," guilty of an act of despotism,
tyranyand iDjustice such as
was never before known in any civilized
and Christian land.
J Jut this crowning outrage does not
stop here. The com mittee in that SCate
Alliance, to which the charges against
us were referred, brought in a report,
in which they stated that "we find that
the charges against Brother T. L. Gantt
are not proven." But what did that
Convention do? M. L. Donaldson, one
of our bitterest enemies, and the man
who went on to Chicago and worked
for Grover Cleveland's nomination
while we were opposing him and upholding
our Alliance demands, and contending
for the selection of a candidate
in harmony with the people, arose in
that ConventioD, and in a bitter speech
exclaimed/'Great Godl.Not proven you
say? Not proven!" and then went to
demand that those resolutions be recommitted,
and with instructions to
make a report condemning us; and this
was done: Since the days of Jeffries,
when he made an unwilling jury burn
Alice Liles at the stake, never was such
an outrage as this perpetrated.
That Alliance Convention was controlled
by our political enemies?men
who wanted strike us down because the
paper that we edit stood in the way of
their selfish ambition?and in order to
do this they packed a committee upon
us; and even when that committee, terroized
by the outrage that they were
chosen to perpetrate, wanted to evade
the dirty work, its members were driven
back into their room by the lash of
sem? of Grover Cleveland's supporters
and made to do their work over again.
No. That Convention was composed
of our political enemies, and presided
over by a man who had gone into a
Sunday caucus in Spartanburg and a
disappointed candidate for Governor.
Failing to silence or crush the Headlight,
they aimed and assassin's dagger
at us in tne aarK.anu uiesi.au uauic uu-1
seen and without warning.
This action by the Spartanburg Sub-1
Alliance will be re-echoed by Ailiances
throughout our Piedmont section. Our
farmers are just and fair-minded, and
will not remain silent and see a brother
member persecuted and hounded down
for no other reason than that he atands
in the way of the ambition of certain
office-seeking politicians, and te.lls the
people the truth: Now, what will
President Evans do? Our own Sub Alliance
refuses to obey his despotic
and tyrannical commands, and T. L.
Gantt will continue to meet and affiliate
with the Order. Will President Evans
expel the Spartanburg Sub-Alliance?
It is the only thing left. And we
predict that after he is through with
this lodge he will have many others
in our own and other counties to deal
with; and so the public will ba treated
to the spectacle of a Sunday caucuser
and would be Governor, acting on a
small scale the Tycoon of Swat, and
and with his tyranlcal hand tearing to
pieces the organization that he is elected
to build up. The issue is now
clearly drawn between T. L. Gantt, a
! plain Alliance man, and W. D. Evans,

stands at our back.
Xow, what is President Evans going
to do about it? How is he going to
help himself and vindicate his "authority
V To remain silent will make him
the laughing stock of the country.
President Evans has issued hi3 pronunciamento
expelling T. L. Gantt but T.
L. Gantt refuses to be expelled, and
his lodge declares its intention of continuing
to receive and recognize him.
So this Alliance Dictator, who assumes
unto himself the right to try and condemn
a member without the accused
even being informed that he is under a
charge and on trial, has now two horns
of a dilemma placed in his hands. We
are anxiously waiting for the next step
to be taken by President Evans.
A Narrow EscapbOf a Train.
St. Louis, Mo, Aug. 6?The most
remarkable feature of last night's attempt
at train wrecking at Eureka, Mo,
was the escape of the entire train and
one hundred and eighty-three persons
upon it from absolute destruction.
The desperadoes, who were undoubtedly
accomplices of the fellow with
whom Express Messenger Ferguson
had the fight, forced open a car of dynamite
that stood on the sidetrack below
the station at Eureka and stole two big
dynamite cartridges that were intended
for heavy blasting in quarries and
mines. Each cartridge was capable of
tearing to pieces tons of solid rock.
They were placed by the dastardly
bandits ontbe rails, the intention heing
to destroy the train and piundrr the
richly laden express car, and probably
the passenger?.
T * ~ -- ?4-V?r\ f ro 1 n
jli is a muauie Luau iuc cuuic uoiu
wag not hurled to destuction, for the
miscreants who attempted to wreck it
placed the cartridges within a few feet
of a car which contained ten tons of
dynamite. Then they secreted themselves
and waited for the train that was
due to arrive a few minutes before 10 1
o'clock. The train left St. Louis at 8.30
and was only a few minutes behind
time, the delay having been caused by
the shooting of the express messenger
by one of the robbers.
When the forward wheels of the engine
rolled on the cartridges there was
a teriiic explosion, which lifted the 1
machine from the tracks and tore the :
massive pilot from the bolts riveted to ;
the engine. All the forward part of the 1
machine was wrecked and twisted,"and
llthough it was able to carry the train ;
i few miles beyond, it was so badly ;
wrecked that another engine had to be ;
procured. The entire train was severe- J
ly shaken, the windows broken and the '
packages of letters thrown from the
boxes in the mail car.
It is wonderful how the carrload of
dynamite escaped. The explosion tore ]
a great hole in the earth, wrested the \
rails from their fastening and Hung the ]
ties in every direction. It tore open '
ODe side of the dynamite car and ex- <
posed to view tons of the powerful ex- <
plosive, while for some unaccountable \
reason this vast amount of dynamite, <
with eiergy enough to blow an entire ]
city of* the earth, did not explode. If I
it had not a person in all those one hun- 1
dred and eighty three passengers would <
haveescaped. " <

THE CAMPAIGN ENDEDThe
Columbia Scate Name* the Winning
Tlck-r.
C'lumbia, S. C., A'k?. 9 ?The State
campaign o( 1894 is uow ;i thin 4 of the
past. As a result of the campa^n and
the recent meeting eftbe Sligh executive
AA " f eo o ir ' A C na Anr
l/Uiumiiiioc, it is jucbby ctoy w vv ??
that b7 this lime next week the gubernatorial
contest, a3 far a9 Mess-s. El
lerbe and Tindal are concerned, will be
no longer a matter cf interest.
It is pretty senerally conceded lhat
the two gentleman earned are now
ilaomed to defeat in the S:aie ccnventiou
next Thursday, and ihafc Evan3 is
to be the Rsform nominee.
If such a result comes about, then the
long-fought battle narrows to a square
Gght in fie general primary between Dr
Pope and Jahn Gary Evans. Dr. Pope's
name does not go before the Reform primary.
If such i3 th? outlook?and
EvaDs' friends claim that their is now no
longer a doubt of his receiving tte nominot.irn
thf>n hnfh TPindal an/1 "P.llArhft
are barred from going any further.
An entirely ne?y fi^ht will be oa.
Evans' friends will have to baitie with
Dr. Pope's friends, who will very likely
decline to participate in the Reform primaries
on Saturday. The vote on Saturday,
therefore, will tell pretty well
what Pope's strength is noL coasidering
any other vote which may go to him, if
there he any.
At any rate Pope, under the circumstances
named, will not be cut of the
race by a good deal. He has made, it
is understood, many friends recently by
his action in kicking out of the traces.
Now there is considerable doubt as to
what EUerbe and Tindal will do. If they
are going to kick oat of the traces they
will have to do it by tomorrow night, for
the Reform primaries take place Saturday.
It the results of these primaries
throughout the S'ate can b: ascertained
An f\ f Mm ?kf A
uu OAiuLuajr tug lcouu ui tuc u^a^v
convention on Thursday next can be
told.
There is a good deal of silent dissatisfaction
among the general primary advocates
with regard to the Sligh committee's
action. This may, or may not,
develop into a sentiment strong enough
to induce Tindal and Ellerbe to withdraw
their pledges, already filed.
An Evans man yesterday, leaving cut
of the matter entirely any consideration
of Pope's chances, said that the whole
thing was going to result in the nomination
and election of the following ticket,
and if the element of doubt as to Ellerbe's
course and Pope's primary race was
removed, all would doubtless agrse with
him:
For Governor?John Gary Evans.
Lieut. Governor?Dr. W. H. Timmerman.
Attorney General?O. W. Buchanan.
State Treasurer?W. T. C. Bates.
Superintendent of Education?W. D.
Mdjfisld.
Comptroller General?A. W. Jonts.
Secretary of State?D. H. TompkIn3.
Adjutant and Inspector GeneralJohn
Gary Watts.
Now as to the efleet of the campaign
on the Senatorial Oght, Tillman's friends
claim that he comis cut of the stump
battle stronger than ever. The geueral
opinion, however, is that the stump
work has been moie beneficial to Bailer
than to Tillman. Butler's friends regard
his chances as much better than at
any time heretofore.
As to the effect of the campaign on
the dispensary outlook, it is said by one
who oaght to know, tha'. Governor
Tillman is fully satisfied, by his tests
of the crowds at the meetings on the dis
penaary, that the great body of the people
demand the dispeosarj; that he expects
them to send a legislature here
which will re-enact the law and pas* a
metropolitan police law, forcing a laigs
number of such police on all cities wherewith
to ecfjrce the law, and that they
will enact a law providing f.>r changes of
venue in liquor cases.?State.
A Teirlble Tragedy.
Columbia, s. C., Aug. 8.?Yesterday
morning about two miles from the city
a young son of Mr. Henry Williams
was shot and killed by his brother. The
children were 7 and 5 years old respectively.
It was a strange case and no explanation
of the reason why the deed
was done is given. The facts are as
follows: Mrs. WilliamB left her house
and went out into the adjourning
woods for some purpose and left her
three children a.t the house. They were
aged 7, 5 and 3years. When she returned
she was horrified to find the five-yearold
child dead. Blood was pouring from
its ear. She screamed at the sight,
which brought in some neighbors. The
seven-yearold child on being questioned
said that he haci taken a nail and while
his little brother was lying on the floor
he had put it in his ear and stuck it
with his hand. He did not mean to
drive the naiiici, he said. This explanation
was not at all satifactory, but the
little fellow stuck to it for a long time.
In the meantim e Coroner Roach was
notifled and Dr. Green was sent for.
The Doctor saw at once that the fatal
wound had not been made by a nail.
The boy was questioned again and after
much persuasion and some threats
he finally said that he had gone to a
trunk, took out a pistol, put it to his
brother's ear and lirea. The little threeyear-old
child in its baby way confirmed
that statement.
Absolutely no reason is glyen as tc
why the child shot his brother, andit is
supposed that he really did not
know what he was doing when he put
the fatal weapon to his brother's ear
and fired. Coroner Roaeh empaneled a
jury and a verdict was rendered in accordance
with the above facts. The
boy being only 7 years old is clearly not

Church and State,
The Columbia Register,of last Thursday?,
says a convention or the leading
colored clergymen and laymen of the
State assembled Wednesday in the well
known Calvary Baptist Church in that
city. All denomination were represented.
The purpose of the gathering
wss to discuss the imperative necessity
of dividing the union of church and
State educational interests as exemplified
in Claflin University. After a full
and spirited discussion of the principles
at issue, and a formal series of recommendations
by a duly appointed
committee, it was decided to appoint
two committees; one to properly present
the whole question before the
representative bodies of the various
colored denominations of the State,
and the other, consisting of Kev. H. M.
Raiford, Prof. J. N. Cardoza, Kev. P.
II. Coit. Prof. J. II. Wilson, Kev. D. C.
13aum, Prof. J. W. Morris and Rev. W.
D. Chappell to present a memorial to
the State Legislature. There was opposition
to the action of the meeting
and a number of persons, who consider
it inexpedient, separated themselves
from the main body and decided to
present a counter memorial to the
Legislature. Among those who do not
agree with the majority are: Rev. J. II.
Johnson, John A. Barr, C. J. Carroll,
D. II. Moorer, P. C. Parks, J. R. .Bulkley,
John H. Fordham, J. S. Mobley.

Columbia, S. C., August 8.?The
State Reform Executive Committee
met last night in the Senate chamber
at the Capitol. The committee had
been called together by Chairman Sligh
under a call published a few days i go,
in which were set forth the reasons for
bis action. It was brought about bv
statements made to. and letters received
by hi ac, calling his attention to the
fact that the plan as adopted by the
committee at its first meeting was
unsatisfactory to a large number of
Reformers. These statements and letters
were so numerous as to bring Mr.
SUgh to the conclusion that perhaps
for tbe sake of harmony and unity in
the Reform ranks the committee
should be called together to ascertain
the extent of the reported dissatisfaction,
and to amend tbe plan in such
particulars as would bring about a better
state of feeling among Reformers
in regard thereto.
The committee was called to order
by Chairman Sligb, and the following
members answered to their nam3s
when the roll was called by Secretary
Otts:
Abbeville?D. H. Magill.

On motion of Mr. Mauldin,of Hampton,
all persons wereexclued from the
chamber except the members. All
others retired. Quite a crowd waited
in the lobby to learn what they could
of the proceedings from such members
as strayed out now and then for a
breath of air, or to converse "with
friend3 on the outside.
The session was loDg and the debates
were earnest and excited. The speakers
could be heard throunh the glass doors,
but not distinct enough to convey an
intelligent understanding of their remarks.
All of the memt rs participated
in the debate, some of them taking
the floor several different times. Larry
Gantt vehemently opposed any chanaing
of the plan. His speech was sufficiently
distinct to show that he was
utterly opposed to anything of the
kind and was,heard to say at Its conclusion
"that'if we do so now the people
will think that we are a set of
babies and jackasses." lie was applauded
by tne members who agreed
with him.
John Lyles.of FairGeld, offered some
resolutions declaring for a general primary.
He made a strong speech in favor
of the same and was warmly applauded.
Member after member of the Committee
tnnfr the flnnr and qnnlre fnr and
against the resolutions. What the
tenor of their remarks were could only
be judged from the expression of the
faces of the members whose opinion on
the subject was known. As a substitute
for Mr. Lyle's motion Dr. J. Wm.
Stokss introduced the following:
Whereas, this committee recognizes
that the plan adopted in April and reiterated
in July is not perfect, but after
full consideration for all interest,
preference, circumstances and condition
that confront the Reform movement,
it is the best that we have been
able to devise; if faithfully carried out
the plan will compass the object in
view when the committee was organized?namely,
the nomination of a candidate
for Governor who shall be the
choice of the Reformers.
Unsolved, That we deem it inexpedidei.t
and unwise to abandon the plan
already agreed upon.
The substitute was adopted, it is understood
bv a very decided msjority.
A long discussion, participated in by
neariy all present, ensued upon various
propositions to adopt additional rules,
and to explain the meaning of certain
doubtful terms contained in the plan.
The debate took a wide range and cov

Train KobbarsJFolled.
Cleveland, Aug. 7.?Lake Shore
Express train Xo. 12 arrived from the
West and puffed into the Union station
this morning, after having encountered
a most thrilling experience on
the plains of Indiana. An attempt was
made last night to hold up the train at
Kessler upon the identical spot that the
twin tiroa hoM nn fall Thft train
was just approaching a split swich at
Xessier, when the engineer noticed that
the switch was turned so as t? run the
train on the siding. A big obstruction
of ties and lumber was piled upon the
siding a few rods ahead of his engine.
The obstruction did not appear to be
impassable and the engineer put on all
the steam and dashed through the pile
passing safely on the main track
through the switch at a high rate of
speed. As the train passed the obstuction
the engineer noticed a group
of masked men and as the engine cleared
the track of all obstacles the wouldbe
highwaymen fired several shots into
the train, none of which, however,
took effect. The Uaited States ex oress
car was attached to the train and had
on board a large amount of money. It
is thought that this was known to the
desperadoes who attempted to hold up
tho train ThAir riisxnnnint.mfinf. in
carrying out their plans of stopping the
train was evincsd on their firing shots
when they saw that their plans had
been foiled by the boldness of the engineer
iD dashing through the heap of
ties upon the track.

the Populist candidate for Governor,
had not paid his poll tax. This makes
him ineltoihlp to hold ofllae or to vote.

expired a month ago. If hB were to receive
a majority of the votes cast at the
