NO, ACUTATOK: NO.
The article of Agitator calls for
some comment on our part, in view of
the fact that lie says it was provoked,
secondarily at least, by editorial* appearing
in Tus News and IIekaj.d,
principally the one a few wee** ago
on Mark Hanna. That was intended
ntt<irtk on Ilanna's
personality as 0:1 Ilanna as a product
of Republicani-m.
Agitator thinks as McKiuley has
been clccied, and the people have
;''spoken in n-v uncertain tone," '4ihe
success of h s administration b comes
or should become the desire of not
only his party but of each individual."
We agree fully with tbi: sentiment.
The same thinir in a different form has
been said over and again in this paper.
B : reference to our files, it will be
foun l that we have all along said that
McX aley was elected on the promise
of prosperity, and we have advocate.]
th it r-e Democrats put no capricious
opp. lion i:i his way, so that his polici5
migh: become law. Yes, indeed,
Agitator, let him have a fair chance to
co:i*ii2C5 the country that his remedy
for existing troubles is the right cne,
and if he is right, we feel sure he wii 1
rocr.vc the thanks of the people without
r??arJ to party affiliation.
i?Lo;!?i "'"i believe ihat oar State
would be beueiited by having tvrc
partie? controlled by white people!
Woaidn't our laws be better administer,
a and the affairs of the govern
meat more economically carried on;
Wouldn't ii'.c presence o: two parties
cms; o.ie to act as a balance wheel to
the other?'-" These arc some question;
O "! which Agitator desires some express!
. of op:r:.o:i. la the Srst place,
it is very ha'-d to deal In abstractions.
As we have practically only one political
party in this State controlled b}
white men, it is not an easy matter tc
say what would be the effect of an
other. Whether or not "our State
TT-AnV-1 Ka i rxrl Tit* Ii n T'i nc f tr*/
v* vu;u u; uaviu^ nu
parties" depends upo 1 a great many
contingencies. There are a great man\
very bad native white people ia the
State, and simply because the nes
party should be controlled bv whit(
people would not of itself guarantee
to us a very safe administration Oj
public affairs. The best answer, however,
to Agitator is to be fouad in the
experience of other Slates. The native
white people of North Carolina have
brokeu away from the Democratic
nartv. and we cannot see that that
State has been at ail improved by the
change. We hope that Agitator has
read the proceedings of the North
Carolina Legislature within the past
few -weeks- In Kansas, they have had
two or three cr four political parties,
and we hardly think the socialistic
laws and their germs are wanted in
South Carolina. Besides, the experience
of the past six years shows that
the Democratic party can get all of the
agitation it needs, within itself, to
serve the purpose of two parties.
The next question Agitor asks is this:
i?Wouidivt you prefer a Republican
patty controlled by native whites to the
panv we now have in power?'7 We
ans.ver emphatically, Xo. This means
that Republican principles would be
better for the State than Democratic
principles, and we coukl not possibly
subscribe to such 9 view. The question
involves the fundamental distinctions
un.ioriyin^ Demo era; ic and Repu:\;
principles. Ii means that we
won '? prefer to foster a party whose
ro_i\t'na' n?^i>p?n]<?s ftvr? hnspri on ro: -
tralization and paternalism. It meaa?
tbst .vc would prefer to give support
to a i<any which his planted the seeds
or -G2l&\U:v7 and given birth to wiid
y.:gurie> now so seriously affecting the
c )ua?:y A/Iiabi* ought not to forger
that t'iv i;alu"' appeared on the
ii.st, page o' the history of the Ilcpubli'.a:'
. arty., and :l has advocated aid
ever sir.vc. It was an easy step from
"aid" io the "'infant industries" to
-'aid-bonds" in the building of great
:\:ilroads; it was an easy glide from
"t'lA in tf> flininu
3
the n^r.rafacturio-- classes themselves;
it was a . v;a>\* :;;0vc from aiding certain
ei.ses by special legislation to
levying . :>o;i c: ? section of the country
to pay tribute to another. It was
an easy -tride frcra these kind of gover:.:nen
bounties to an advocacy of
government ownership of railroads,
telegraph companies and such specics
of paternalism and socialism, les,
Agitator. the Hepnbiica:) party is
directly responsible f.-r the birth oi
Populism. She is the mother of the
I'opuiist party, and whet a- r she
claims them as her children or not,
she is in. truth the mother of all that
species cr c';-.s> of legislation the tendency
of which is an extension of the
functions oi' the St no so tlru there
rasy bo a i. :rrv.a individualism to
sot hii>:n.
Extravagance is inii.rent in, and a
accessary concomitant of, Republican
i principles; so if the "Republican party,
j controlled by native wiiro people/'
j shall in truth be a Republican party,
i allied and in sympathy with Repubii
: can theories and policies as they exist
| throughout the rest of the country, its
| administration of public affairs will
j neccssauly be expensive to the State,
i The Democratic theory is that nothing
j should be done for the individual that
| he can do for himself; that taxation is
; justified only ?o far as it is iu'emkd
1 fnr actual expense?, ai'd
> L'J ~ -
' wherever this primary principle of
; Democracy has been closely followed,
j you will find economy in public alFair.-.
I Compare Mr. Cleveland's admini-tra!
iion with Mr. Harrison's. We pre!
same Agitator has seen the figures :;s
they have been repeatedly published.
That a strong paternal government
1 will necessarily be expensive seems t->
! us self-evident, ai d needs no ehbor;;i
tion.
j We confess that now and then some
I things, which would be more appr -
! priale for toe Republican party to
j champion, have cropped out in tli?
! Democratic party, but it is expected
[ that a party which peculiar
j conditions has been kept ia power
! almost continuously for a whole gcnoi
tion should not only have impressed i s
policies upon the ountry, bat that
i some things peculiar to it should havo
{ found their way into the opposition
! party itself.
I The political intolerance which
Agitator mentions has not oe:n .so
much the result of the course of the
press as of the peculiir conditions
which have existed in this State and
the South.
I In conclusion, Agitator need u.?t
j remind us that what we say
{ will have no influence with Ilai.ii i
| We have no more hope of changing
: j the Republican party than we have oi
j convincing Agitator that he is abou!
i to launch upon a very dangerous sea,
. I There is some comfort, nevertheless,.
' j of knowing and expressing tin reason?
! for our faith.
We agree fullv with oar contempoi

, j rary, the Abbeville Medium, that our

The Dumb Aninnl. a liit'c pape:

in it a few months ago on the subjec:
of nonnjft heiner bniied alive. The
j r ~ r ~ o
! cases give;) of persons having bee;
5 prepared for burial mikes the cold
shivers run over you to think about it.
; Nothing is more horrible to think of,
than this idea. The matter has b'ci.
deemed of such importance th.u a
! society has been organized which has
t for its object the prevention of ihi:
horror. Generally instances of per
. son- who came near beins buried alive
! are located so far away fr^m us th-it
1 we do not believe it. Ilonurk-'.blc
things of this kind always happen n
long sray off. But the daily papers
j tell us ot a farmer in Sumter County
i having been prepared for the grave,
! and then astonishing the mourners by
j starting to taik. Occurrences of this
! kind so near home make us fcol like
| advocating the organisation of a so
ciety here.
The Charleston police business is a
big muddle, and ic is very hard to
tell vrho is the most to blame. The
Governor evidently wants to abolish
the metropolitan system, and wc bej
lieve that he will d.> so. if he is given
j a fair chance. The ministerial Union
J entered the controversy very unfor!
tunaiely, and have been m:ide mad by
j the city council. The Ministers started
! out oy eulogizing .ur. .Martin, \v:icn
the issue was not really Mr. Martin
but -simply a question of local selfgovernment.
Governor Ellerbe wants
the council individually to sign an
agreement that it would enforce the
law. This, we think, was unfortunate,
because the members of council had
i already taken an oath to do that very
1 thing. Two of them refused to sign
j the agreement, one of them we bej
lieve upon the specific ground that he
j had already taken an oath to do so.
! f!nnnf.i! then r.ondeinned tlio. minister.-'.
j and the ministers then pointed out
j that iheir conduct was not mere ofI
tensive than Governor Ellerbe?s. So
! the minis:ers have been provoked to
j ^o another step, and now we lind
; Jhem not only supporting Mr. Martin
| personally out actually advocating ilc
| ucccfsity^for the metropolitan police
j system. All of which has been caused
! by too much talk It will not b? sur|
prising if ihe metropolitan system remain-,

Governor ought to remove itWhy

' One of the vbicctbns brought agains:

and claims arising from rights muiei

rights, and loritorial claims such aruiate
to servitulc, navigation, access,
lishories, and boundaiics.
It will be seen, therefore, thai
. claims can be settled by diplomacy
just as tiiey are now every day, bui
, when they cannot be settled in that
way then they are carried before the
, arbitration tribunal. By an examination
of the treaty, it will Lc founc
. that there arc three tribunals or courts
to bo crcaicd. The^lirst is composes
of three members, one selected b;?
. each State, with provision made fo:
. the selection of the third member.
, Tills court wi;l fcavo jurisdiction over
the first class cf claims above mentioned.
It is worth noting that nation;
do not go to war for pecuniary claims
under ? 100,000, So t^e war thirsty
ought not to object io this mode ol
settlement.
The second court wiii consist of live
UJUlllUviS} LWU kilULLli;u U) ViC-li ciun,,
and provision for the choices of the
third is made. This court will have
jurisdiction over the sccond class oi
claim?, with original jurisdiction, and
Us decision is liaal if made by una?'.:

last night. It was accompanied by
' thunder and lightning ar.d roused
many a one from their peaceful dreams,
as it reverberated in the still of night.!
1 Farm work is being greatly retarded
by the exce:sive rains. No ploughing
' or much consequence has beeu done
1 yet, and no prospect of much being
done soon. Farmers will fail to plant
their corn a? early as usual. This
1 time last year we were ready to com'
tner.ee planting com?in fact had all
I of our uplands ready for planting.
. Now we?ve scrcely any ready. If it
were to cease raining now we couldn't
g.-t it all ready and planted before the

5 Oi fertilizers being purchased the farm.
ers are preparing for a large cotton
J crop. Never before has there been
1 so enormous an amount of guano

passes any previous year's record.
Fellow farmers we should remem5
her our mistake of several years ago I
v; hen we raised such a large crop of

Diversify your crops; that's t'oc idea.

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN WOKEN.
Abbeville Medium.
Every now and then we see some
nnkind criticism of Southern women
from their Northern s'ste-rs. Some
weeks ago we read an article of this
kind in the Woman's Journal, a paper
published in the interest of women, at
Boston, Mass. The article was a? incorrect
a-= such arircles usually are. It
spoke of our women spending their
mornings on the Iront piazza embroidering
ar.d gossiping, their afternoons
taking naps, and the night in idle chat
with young men. Any woman who
knowi anything of the South begins
to have "that tired feeling" when she

of this continual slamming at the
Southerners for not working. It is
true that in the South there are not as
m>my typewriters, stenographers, doctor?,
lawyers, &c , among our women
as there are among the women of the
North, but any Southern woman who
can successfully manage a negro c^ok
one month doe-; more work in that
month's time than a Northern woman
does in one year.
This article spoke as though a Southern
girl had only one aim in life, and
that was to be married to a respectable
man before she was twenty years old.
Thi? may have been ihe ca^e "years ago
but a great many interesting thir.gs

Some months ago a yonng friend of
our? returned from an extended trip
to Chicago and for weeks we Iiej.nl
onlv exclamations about the slowne-s
of the Sonth, how far ahead the Northern
women were of us all, how thev
did their own work, &c. li h&d never
occurred to our young friend that we

Northern people never take our
weather into consideration and the

In the late hearings before the House

man of his strong will should have
made enemies; indeed it would be
impossible' o carry out the laws properly
without treading on somebody's
toe?. But on top of this came the split
in the Democratic ranks over the silver
question, and between holding the
partv together and the honor of the
whole people, Cleveland chose the latter.
He will go down into history as
