I Unless the signs of the times and the wis- ' dom and sagacity of our political leaders In Washington are misleading, we may expect warm times in South Carolina next year. But the antis will be led by new men, men with broader views and more liberality of thought and actlOD, than characterized our recent campaign. Those who have been reading the papers have bad tally as much opportunity to know . the situation as we have, and without knowing anything and wlthoutassertlDg anything, our plain every day common sense leads us to believe that we may now Kee the rill lu the cloud, and read the handwriting on the wall. The policy of Tillman and Irby from the first, and until the present time, has been one of extreme partisanship. Governor Tillman ; huitanlarod that nnnnll nfi?) nnnlv tn him for favors, and Senator Irby has said tbat be would give nothing to anybody except he were a Reformer of the moat pronounced type. We bel!eve none will deny tbat this is the true status. Again: Governor Tillman inaugurated a system of blacklisting in Washington certain of our South Carolina politicians, namely: Cal. Caughman, Ben Perry, N. G. Gonzales, M. L. Donaldson, and perhaps others. We believe this will not be disputed. On the other band: In retaliation, certain antls blacklisted Tillman, Irby, Latimer. Strait, and perhaps others. The question as to who will control the patronage from South Carolina has been delayed, but now certain things may be oonceded: 1. That Irby and Tillman will have little or no influence with the President. 9. That Butler and Brawley will control tbe patronage from Washington. Prom which oonclusions certain other conclusions may be drawn, as follows: 1. Tbat Butler is in the raoe for re-election, &nd that he Inlands to ma hln vnntiurn rronnd in tbe wisest and most skillful manner. 2. This being so, be cannot, under any dr. cumatances, recommend any Haskelllte, or any offensive Tillman partisan to any office* 3. That 11 tbe extreme men on both Bides are relegated to the rear, tbe conservative men of both wings will be eligible to positions of appointment. 4. That Butler desiring re-election will seek to act in such a way as to make tbe greatest number of friends. 6. Tbe Tillman ranks being full or voters, and tbe great crowd or disappointed officedesiring conservative Reformers will be a fruitful Held In which he can work. 6. That being so, the efforts of Senator But. ler and President Cleveland will be to uniry the Democratic party In South Carolina, and to do this, oflensive partisans on either side may Just as well stand aalde. Blessed Is he that expects nothing. ii win uc bcou turn. ron> suu nuouir win get the appointments for revenue collector and United States Marshal. * Antls will get the oollectorsbips at Charles ton and Beaufort. Antlswill be postmaster at Charleston and Colombia. The Tillmanites in the up-country will get the post offices. The object will be to give a majority of the political appointments to conservative Reformers. We believe we have outlined the policy of both factions, and it will take a test of strength to show whether any extreme or offensively partisan man can be elected to any State or Federal office in South Carolina. i ?? Does "Haakellam" Begin to Smell? 1 To the Laurens Advertiser is credited the following paragraph: , "Haskelism is a dead issue, and It should never hf? allndod to hv aAlf.rMn<>r>tlncr nAiwrf) which desire peace." We admit that it Is Improper to mention some things In polite society, and we know that Id the presence of other things, we must hold our noses, but we were not Informed before that "Haskellsin" had become quite so "dead," that the mere mention of It was offensive. The fact is, however, that some things become so "dead," and reaches such a stage of putrefaction that they will make themselves known despite the application of | deodorizers. We know of none butseir-respectlng editor* In this State. Every newspaper may be held individually , responsible for Its utterances, and the naming of those may have violated the proprle- ' ties, It seems to us would have been better than laying down a speclflc rule for the guidance of others. ' If any brother has made himself the proper subject of criticism, why not say so, and not assume to do It by generalities. We do not know that our brother had any reference to us, but If the Press and Banaer ( um ?7iiuu, rc win guocnun/ uaucu wuujr uih. ' icisms from blm which may be made ( In respectful terms, and will give Just and proper consideration to all that be says. It Is not the desire of this newspaper to offend the proprieties of Journalism, and If our brother will give us a good reason for not alluding to 1 "Haskellsm," and be convinces us to hlb way ' of thinking. then we will bo conduot of our \ paper In the future as not to offend in this i particular at least, but he will please excuse ' us from accepting bis mere dictum on the sub- i Jectof alluding to an issue, which If not already dead, should at least feign sleep. { Tbe Political Pot Beginning: to Boll Just now It seems that tbe TlllmanlteB are dividing at the top, and leaders of more or less importance are striking off Into orbits of their own. Tillman baa set bis seal of condemnation on Donaldson, tbe President of tbe Alliance, and it Is thought that be must step down and out- ' Cal. Cautrhman. Ben Perrv. and other rpcaici. (. trsnt members of tbe "dominant element" have been marked for slaughter. On tbe Conservative side there seems to be as little nnlty of sentiment. Tbe lines between the antls and the Haskelllte faction seem to be developing plainly, and It Is fair to presume that the distinction between tbe two factions of the Conservative element will Boon be as definite and pronounced as lathe line between Tillmanlsm and Conservatism. Senator Butler Is a wise and Bagacious politician, and will take a hand in securing voUrs next year. He is looking for votes where they are to be found. He recently gave a position to an ardent Tillmanite, and be has not slighted either faction of the Conservatives in tbe dispensation of favors and recommendations at Washington. How far be will dl?- ] turb the political equillibrlnm is not known, but there can be no doubt that be will be a factor in the political pot. ' i For the present tbe great body of tbe voters seem to be with Tillman, and Just now it appears that if all the political fragments, drift- ? wood or "traitors" were gathered together J and put in one column that Tillman would 7 still stand in with a large majority. a But for all tbat. the disturbing factors in the _ political situation are Indicative oi the begin- v nlng of a feeling of unrest, which unrest must t be tbe beginning of a polltlca'. upheaval at a J time not far In the future. ; y The unity of sentiment aud the unprece- ? dented subserviency of the people to tbe will b of any one man can now no more last indefinitely tbandid tbe idolatry! of Hampton In I ] Waata goods In all tbe new goods. Wm. E. a Bell. / I / The Railroad Canes. Tbe Courts are taking testimony In the con ested railroad cases, Involving the questioi >f the assessment of the railroads of thl State. The railroad companies are resisting the as iessment put upon their properly by theStah ioard of Equalization, alleging that thel jroperty Is more highly assessed than othe jroperty In the State. A few days ago Messrs. W. W. Bradley, L 3. Russell, H. T. Wardlaw, and J. F. Ml lie vent to Greenville as witnesses to testify a ,o the assessment of property In Ibis count; We learn that tbe trend of their testlmon; a to tbe effect tbat real property is assesses it about 66 per eent. of Its true value, and tha personal property is not assessed higher thai ilxty per cent, of its actual value. The wItLessett from Newberry and Andei son placed their estimate of tbe assessmen it ev?n a lower per cent, of values. Mr. McCaughrln of Newberry thought tha eal estate was not assessed at over fifty pe sent. Mr. Crayton of Anderson plaoed the sam estimate as to tbe assessment of land In Ac ierson. Tbe Auditor of Anderson testified the Boards of Equalization were instructed to ai sess at not over seventy-five per cent Tbe horses and mules in Abbeville were ai sessed at a fraction over $48, while the sam fclnd of property in Newberry was rated at little more than $45. We make the above notes as we recollect t bave heard them, but believe them to be oo: rect. If, therefore, we are not mistaken as to tb nature of the testimony, the evident desire < tbe State Board to oppress the railroads wi fall of its DurDOfie. Assuming that we are correct in our info matlon, tbe Courts will upset tbe State in 1' unworthy effort to rula tbe corporalloi wbtle pandering to tbe prejudice of tt voters. Tbe Judges of tbe United States Court ai not dependent upon tbe voters for tbeir pos tionu and can afford to look at tbe issue froi an unbiased standpoint. Tbey need not do a mean tbing in order i curry favor with the excited crowd wblc would oonflscate the property of tt people who are seeking to make an bone living and a fftlr return from their labor ac their capital * hich may be invested. ^ - Divided by Three?Do We Need Driver or a Leader of Public Opinion T According to our understanding of the pu 11c sentiment In South Carolina, it is divide In this way: 1. A majority of tbe people and a conalde nhTn nnmhar of nfiwuryirwr* nra for Tillman. 2. A majority of tbe defeated faction of tl people, and a majority cf tbe newspapers a: Conservative in the trne sense?opposed I Tillman before the election, but since it election abide tbe verdict of tbe majority ac accept the situation. 8. A few newspapers and a fraction of tt defeated faction are irreconcilable and ca see no good In anybody or anything which not of their own way of thinking. Our diagnosis may be altogether wrong, bt that Is tbe way we see It. Great and successful popular leaders in a uges have appealed to tbe reason and tt prejudices of the people. But we know of no instance where a defea ed faction has won encoess by a system of li suit to the majority. The people may be led to do almost an; thine, but when did anybody know of a s> lect coterie of boll-dozers driving or forolc the masses of the people to do anythingt To win success a leader mast be respectfi to the people. Mr. Bradley's Success. It will be seen that W. O. Bradley, E?q., < this village, has been appointed a Chief of E vision In the Treasury Department at Waul Ington. Abbeville congratulates Mr. Bradle on blB success In seeking the appolntmen He is a Conservative and his uppolntmei gives satisfaction to all who know him, r gardless of political bias. Four years of life at the capital of the n tlon Is worth much to any citizen, and ? doubt not that it will be worth as mucb t Mr. Bradley as to any other man in the Stat "NInety-Hlx and Her Tradltlona." This is the title of a pamphlet wblob wc written by Jamea Henry Rice, son of Hot lames H. Rice, of .Ninety-Six. Jtlaa valuable contribution to the Lister }f the old Star Fort, and old Cambridge. Mr. Rice Is a talented scholar, aDd a writt of force and beauty, and io this last produi Lion he places Abbeville oounty under a det of gratitude to blm. It Is to be boped tbnt some able and patrlc tic citizen Haay write for all of Abbeville book balf as good as tbat wblcb has Just bee published about "Old Cambridge."

' A NEW* ENTEEPEISE. !r ? 3lt The National Gold Care Inatltnte baa Established in Spartanburjr. > Hendllgnt, spariannurg, a. v,. a Dr. Frank Bright, of this city, has charge of n the Booth Carolina branch of the National Qold Care Institute, of Wilmington, N. C., and is now opened for business In the Central Hotel. He has a salt of elegantly fitted up rooms, and has also arranged to board hU patients there, where they can be overlooked and treated under his Immediate eye. Mr. W. Frank Osborne, secretary and general manager of Gold Cure, is now in our city asi slstlng Dr. Bright. This is a well-established scientific treatment and cure of alcoholic poisoning and the various diseases caused by the e excessive or moderate use of whiskey, mord pblne, opium, etc., etc., and a permanentcure is guaranteed, or no charge will be made. D This Institution is so entirely oonvinced of the solvency of their remedies, that parties seeking treatment, if they so desire, can deposit the amount of charges In some bank, subject to the order of the manager when a permanent cure Is effected. Their charge for . treatment, including board at the Central |a Hotel Is only $75, which is certainly as reasonable as one con Id ask. Mr. Osborne savs I that there are occasional cases where the sys' tern Is so diseased by the prolonged and ex? cesslve one of liquor that a cure Is an utter ^ Impossibility, and such patients are not re? oelved. But In a large majority of cases they can destroy the taste for liquor In twenty four hours, and in forty-eight hours their pa' tlent Is thoroughly relieved of his thirst. But they keep their patient under treatment for four weeks, so as to effect a lasting cure and build ap tbe system. Chloride of pure gold, which Is tbe fundamental treatment used In the treatment or alcoholic poisoning, 1b by no means a recent discovery, as la generally supposed. Its application for tbe treatment or a disease bus e been known to chcmlstry since 1810, and has been an important factor in the compounding or various formulae in the practice or r medicine.
