Wednesday, ->Iarcli 24-, ? 1S9T. A MUNICIPAL MUDDLE. It seeias i > as, after a casual examination of the Constitution of 1895 and the Acts passed in pursuance of the requirements thereof, that our municipal election machinery is in a bad fix Section 12 of Art II provides: E:ec tors in municipal elections shall possess the qualifications ana be subject to the disqualifications herein prescribed The production of a certificate of registration from the registration officers of the County as an elector at a precinct included in the incorporated city or town in which the voter desires to vote is declared a condition prerequisite to his obtaining a certificate ot registration for inunici pal election5, and ia addition he must have been a reside it within the corporate limits at least four mouths before the election and have paid all taxes due and collectible ?for the preceding fiscal year. The General Assembly shall provide for the registration of ail roters before each election in municipalities." 3 sec. 2* of an Act entitled "An Act to Provide for the Registration of all ,Electors m This State Qualified to vo:e in State, County, Municipal, Congressional ana Presidential Elections," the General Assembly has carried out; this mandate of the Consti tntion as follows: "!Ninet7 days before the holding of a regular election in any incorporated city or town in this State - Iter the general election of 1896, the .iayor or Intendant thereof shall appoint one discreet individnal who is a quaiiGed elector of such municipality as Supervisor of Registration for such city or town., whose duty it shall be to register al! qualified elec? tors within the limits of the incorporated city or town." This is enough to show that we cxn r" not hav* a legai election in April. Of course tie matter was entirely over lookec: by nearly everybody, and everybody is now pnzzled to know what to do about it. Xo one has been registered and none, therefore, are qTUiiilsd to vote in April. Tee "women were in the thick of the fight/? we are told in the despatches to the daily papers a few days ago, in speaking of a political convention in the State of Colorado. "' The first assanlt was provoked by the remark of a woman." Mark that; the woman's tongue started the first fight. Her husband, of course, had to take up for her. Mrs. Heed, Mrs. Faulkner and Mrs. Holmes, it seems, Insulted other people, or were insulted themselves, and s general free for all fight ensued. Mrs. Holmes didn't think the men were chivalrous enough, and rebuked them for not resenting the insults offered to the women. Finding the men too slow to fight, Mrs. Heed and Mrs, Holmes grabbed a Mr. Akers, scratched and clawed his lace, and sent him out the door as cleanly shaved as though he had just stepped out the barber shop. How often have we been pointed to Colorado as a State where women had their rights. We were almost persuaded about a year ago that women ought to be given the suffrage, but when such object lessons as the Colorado incident are presented, it overwhelms us and makes us at least suspend judgment on woman's safirage. The Colorado woman not only wants the right io c&st her ballot as .the men do, but she wants the right to do just as aa a have aiways done in politics. Fights arc always incidents to heated political iueetings, and the Colorado episode show? that even women can not rise uigher than the common everyday ccompaniuients of an excitirg political mating. If the women ?these women >i -!iticians?light in public, o: course tiiuy will light at borne; and where a family is divided politically a tight between a. man and bis wife \vonV. certainly happen: and all the cb-'dren would be involved in it, and 'heir respective political friends would have to take a hand. It is easily c\> ceivable how such a row might inv .ve a whole community. There is r.o telling where it would stop. The pension law will create considerable confusion, and we advise those into, '-steel i--> read the act carelully. e?- d folio v it-; provisions as closely a> possible. The boards, as will be seen by the act. will be composed of ex-Confederate soldiers where this is possible. There is some doabl as to new the tovr:?ship boards are to % organized v?"e suggest that some old soldier call a meeting of his y.nmi?ir1n8 o.i:l Iff ?hrm D'Of-PPll tO ClpCL VfclJV* *?-?. swv? ^ ~ / the board. Head the act which we have published carefully. The old pension board ha? become defunct, and the old soldier? will have to start the machinery for a ..c\v organization iu motion. This is an important matter to a great many, and it should receive attention. K~ j*r TAXATION* BRIXGS PROSPERITY. President HcKiniey's nv?sage has j the merit o 1 brevity and bein^ straight | - c? j to the point. He wants higher taxes, I and he says so. Ihit/s the remedy { that we said he would suggest, and that's exactly what be has done. J le ) finds that the revenue under the J present tariff law does not render I sufficient revenue "incident upon an j economical and prudent administration of the Government," though the law was not tested ir dersuch a state of affairs. Sidcc Jnne 30, 1S93, the j expenditures of the Government have ! been greater than the receipts. It j ought not to be forgotten that a IIcj publican Congress made extravagant i appropriations, and passed bills over a Democratic President's veto carrying large sums of mor ov. Many of these j bills were not in the line 01 --an j economical and prudent administration j of the Government.'' Attention was j directed at the time to the fact that i expenditures were made heavy so that a pretext might be presented forjiigher taxes. "The prompt payment of j liberal pensi)ns," already in the opinj ion of some entirely too liberal, mint i be made, and of course it takes money to do it. But it must be done even if it does tax the people of South Carolina as much as they pay t? their State Government. But the true Republican policy of taxation is found in the President's message. It is not revenue for public purposes only hat j., "fl'iito; chnntil ])p ifiviGU lit? YV&U15. 4 / Uligo vuvu'v* w _ ? upon fforeign products to preserve the home market, as far as possible to our producers; to revive and increase manufacture." A monopoly of the home market must be created by artificial means for the home manufacturer, and the farmer and all conmnc# risiv for ihe monopoly. J SUUi^lO UJUVV ? ^ And yetthsy call this a return to prosperity. mro ^ Qm S. X. D. North. Secretary of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers and editor of its "Buullitin," ins an article in the current Forum entitled: Is England's Iudus'rial Supremacy a Myth? His article, of course, is in favor of a high protective tariff for the United States; and while j it is presented very strongly -from this I view, an analysis of it shows the in* . inefof thff tariff"as orooosed bv tbe Republicans. lie very ingeniously argues that free trade as advocated by Cobde.i, the great English free-trader, fras the proper thing for E;j?iand to do a- that time, because "she was ,: living on imported food, una earning I it by manufacturing imported iuw , materials. The lax upon corn and | other food products necessaiiiy increased the cost of livi.ig.'' If then a tax on food stuff made the cost of living cost more, it follows that a tax on any article make* it cost more to those who are obliged to buy thit a:tide. . It enriches the manufacturer to levy a tax on something mads by him, but , it makes the vast majority or me . people poorer, that's it mikes the cost . of living more. lie boldly argues that the cost of raw material?, including food products, shoald be made as cheap as possible. In other words, the cotton planter must no* be protected from the competition of in> ported cotton from India, but when his cotton is 'brought by the manufacturer and made into cloth, the justice of a tax on the manufactured article is all right. i P ii The Newberry UeriM and Acws like a great many people, apprec'ates the tendency of the times to extend the functions of the Government We have repeatedly mentioned tiuTne II -raid and News says: The distribution of seert by ;!; * government is contrary to correct principles. If it is right to d:stribute good seeds, whv not send out pure breed pigs, Dorses, cows and chickens. Carry the thing to the last analysis, of ihe crovernment supporting the {cople.-Exchaoge. Correct you are. Toe s< ed thai idistributed amounts to v?ry :i ile ?" ! costs the soyernment some<hh:g iiliu half a million dollars, and tlie principle is wrong. The ten.clency teems to be toward the government taking care of the people. Maybe after a'while there will b good fat places f;r all of us in the government. Some of the Democratic papers, os p - daily the New York Times, think that McKinley is breaking his fJth with tue gold Democrats in forcing Congress to pass a new tariffoill. We agree with the Colombia Slate. McKinley'sone idea is a higb tariff, and that was the only remedy he ever proposed for existing conditions. The gold Democrats ought to have known that he would insist ou a new tariff bill. It is his hobby, and it was in his platform. I Mn. Herbert Si'excer says that man's cruelty to animals is a survival of the savage nature, and that the process of evolution has not gone far enough to eliminate such things from his character. We presume the brutality ot Corbett and Fitz?immons is explained in the same way. Judging by the intense interest u:anitc?ted in the light throughout the whole country, there is a great deal or the savage in the people of the United States The whole people of this State without regard to political differences will pin in a fervent prayer that General Ilamptcn may be speedily restored to-his normal health. Hampton's name will live forever in South j Carolina. He was the friend of the people ii distress as well as in prosperity. j Ex-Senator Ixgalls gave an inUrI view to a Chicago reporter about six i years ago, and very forcibly denounced i prize fights. Of course, the c-uel | newspapers pulled the interview en i him whui he went to sec the Corbciti Fitzsimmons sti uggle and to report ii ! for the ZS'cw York Journal. I nr> ci^" Fitzsimmoxs says that he will light ! no more. lie i? scusib'e. If Corbetl | bad retired before his last fight, he j would have saved * great many dollars, J and the humiliation of defeat.

Democrats have been bragging 0:1 our new partv leader, Bailey, of Texas, chosen bv the Democratic caucus ot the House of Iieprc I sen tan ves iu ue iuc wm >ui ui j sitien. We really had not stopped to count how much cf u? there was to j lead, but John Alien, of Mississippi, ! who made a speccli in the caucus, spoke j with his usual philosophy when he said, as reported at sccond hand: ' You may get up and talk about your leaders, and you may vote for this man and that man for your leader,- but I want to call your attention to tne lact that leaders are not electcd, but born As I look aroQud upon this r.oble assemblage, I see a g. eat many faces before me, of men who would unquestionably make great leaders. And, pe.haps, it may be impertinent for me to suggest if. but L think we ought not to be in too bis: a hurry to choose a leader uistil we hustle around and get tcffettier a few more of us for the leader I to lead. , I "It's all ver}; well to be trying to get a mortgage on the speakership; which can be foreclosed in the next Congress, but suppose it happens thai there is nothing to forccloseon then, what good will it do the man who holds the mortgage? There were a great many great leaders in various parts of the country i during the last campaign, but as I I look around me, there are many of | them whom I do not see nere now, J and while we are collating on the victories which we are to win two years from now, it may be possible that there may be some of us who will not be here then." : uevf:ypiHt*:uiu uic A.

It is because ihe South is such a lawless place that iifvi is not secure. In plain \ro-ds, foreigners are "afraid" of us. They have been right badly fooled us to the 1 character of the Southern people, if that editor is correct, oui really we are not sorry. AVe o ily hope that there may continue to be some po'ent reason, real or imaginary, to keep our i South land from beinsr overrun with the dregs of Europe as" some parts of I this coujlry have been. If the nde| were turned Southward our popula| tion would increase and o.ir natural | resources be developed, but the tone of morals would be lowered, the whisI kev power would become stronger 2nd I Sabbath desecra'ion would increase.

The feature of McKin ley's brief message to congress is the implied charge that the Wilson law, by failme to realize sufficient revenues, is responsible for the bond issues during the late administration. 1c is very well established that the I-Iavrison administration was on the point of issuing bonds when it went our of office,' and that the plates for the bonds had been mads made; but without entering into tbe discussioj as to this, it is frTbt; remembered that athe Wilson j law:? was not the' ?aw prepared by Wni. L. Wilson. On tbe contrary, and to tbe disgust of Mr. Wilson and the followers of Mr. Cleveland, it was doctored and converted into a partially protective bill by Senators G-orraan", Murphy, Brice, Smith and others. Mr. Cleveland foreseeing that the results would not be entirely satisfactory, declined to approve the the bill and only permitted it to become the law without his signature. The administration was pledged and the democracy was pledged to tariff reform. The bill as it passed both J bouses was, relatively, a botch but on I account of the violation of party pledges by the senators whose names have been given, it was the best possible to be had and little better than nothing at that. Then followed toe explosion or the income tax provision by the supreme court. The senators who betrayed their part v at the critical moment on the tanlf issue have been "faithful democrats," and though opposed to free SJiver, nave siooa uy me vrgim.'suuuu.

Errors on the pa: t of the clerks in enrolling; bills w :re constantly being discove.ied after tho adjournment of the Legislating of l-S'J-3, and liow, after the adjournment of the Legislature of 1897 they are sti!i being discovered. The last ore is that which, as our llaleigh corresponr1f>nrr> nt to-dav announces, shows the Ashcville police justice bill to bo rendered harmless because the par i providing for tha appointment of the justic;: is omitted. Considering the teuor of the majority of the bills passfyJ by this Legislature, it is p rhaps a good thing thai some of them are rendered null by reason of the neglect of carcless clerks. All of which, however, is another proof of the incompetency of fusion. The Democratic party is the only o;:c which can govern North Carolina. Act Accordingly. Barnwell People. Mr. Alfred Sheppersoti, of New York, about the wisest cotton statistician living, is of the opinion that cotton will brinsr about oA cents a pound in ."^ew York next fall, which would mean about a coni less in South Carolina. The reasons for that opinion are found in the present low price of cotton in the face of the shortness of last years crop, the prospect for trouble in Europe, the existence of the plague in India, which lias closed, the cotton mills there, leaving more cotton to be exported, and the genera! uncertainty felt in the United States over the actings and doings of Congress. On the safer side make home supplies, and as much cotton as you can call your owDj not the factors. For Over Fifty Yeard. Ivlns.
