Jik)k? I'tirkor'N Specch,
Judge Alton B. Parker of Esopus, N'. Y.,
has been formerly notified of his nomination
as Democratic candidate for President, and
the Judge in a speech which has been variously
estimated, has formally accepted the
leadership of the Democratic hosts.
Some of the newspapers regard his speech
of acceptance as a great paper, while others
express a more moderate opinion of Its merit.
Speaking for this editor, and as far as we
may, for this newspaper, we think It is a
poor paper, speaking In platitudes, and In
such vagueness of expression, as to be luke
warm, neither hot nor cold.
Only his position on the Filipino is clear.
The bosh about needed reform means nothing.
The talk about the enforcement of the law
Is Idle and meaningless.
Tbe talk of maintaining separately the
executive, the judicial and tbe legislative
departments is stereotype stuff that any und
every politician may use at pleasure, and has
used for time oul of mind.
The tariff and the trusts are dealt with as
they have been by others for about ten
thousand times. The stereotype plates from
which this part of Judge Parker's speech was
taken are about worn out. And other re
marks not only show lack of study or
thought, but exhibit a shallowness of brain
which should Dot be present in a President
of the United States.
Judge Parker's talk about trusts reminds
us of a preacher who inveighed against the
Catholics. A good old officer remonstrated.
Next Sunday the preacher sailed into the
liquor traffio. Another good old brother
went forward and told the preacher that
course would not do. The preacher perplexed
at the situation, asked his churchman
what he might attack next Sunday. The
churchman told tbe preacher to abuse the
Jews, they had nofrlends in tbat community.
And so it is with the politicians. The
trusts have no friends. But as a matter ot
fact, trusts are as necessary as anything else
iu iue uuwuiug ujj ui a tuuuirj, auu iiuiulug
has contributed more than trusts. They
may do wrong, bat a man does a foolish
thing who condemns trusts unreservedly.
Nobody cares a cent about the tariff. That
subject should not be mentioned by the Democrats
as long as we remember the disastrous
results that followed Cleveland's
tinkering with that branch of the government.
The talk about monopoly Is as old as the
hills and as fooll6h as an old granny's murmuring.
That part of Judge Farker's speech which
referB to the FlllplDO independence ought to
seal bis doom, even If the other parts of hip
speech were sensible and wise. This countr*?
Is not ready for dlNlntegration. We have no
record showing that Judge Parker was in
favor of the independence ol the Confederate
Government. The Southern people were,
and are just a6 good as the Filipinos. The
Idea that this Government should spend
millions lo govern a loreign country, or ttiai
It Is so lost to honor and to principle as to
turn Its back on those who have sworn
allegeance to the United States bo that the
friends of this country might be slain
by the outlaws of the Philippine Islands is
too outrageous to receive respectlul consld.
eratlon, from anybody who is worthy to be
President.
Any idea that we are not to take our
place among the prwerful nations of the
earth Is to throw away the greatest and tbe
best acquisition of tbe past. As men should
be men among men, so nations should be
nations among nations. The beBt way to
preserve the peace is to have a big navy.
l'ne twaddle about peace and no armies Is
rot.
The taik about not wanting, or not accepting,
a second term is childish and foolisb.
Why the Democratic candidate should be
unable to announce one aggressive principle
is strange. He could do notblng else than,
do as we have done In this piece, find fault.
He had time to talk about the Filipino, but
was as silent as the grave on tbe subject of
the great canal, in which all this country is
so much Interested. He didn't manifest any
i luiciccb auuiu IUC yeu>uc wuu Udvc
lived on the Lousiana purchase for a hundred
years without representation In Congress.
We hope tc Uve long enough to see In
Washington, "the gentleman from Luzon."
We all talk ol Thomas Jefferson as a guide Id
constitutional affairs when it Is a matter of
record that he evaded the constitution and
and exceeded his authority in the Lousiana
purchase.
If Judge Parkar can be elected by throwing
away, the Philippine Islands and by remaining;
silent on the canal, the geatest problem
now before the eyes of the worid. then God
save the country.
How to write a poorer speech, It is hard to
conceive.
Bought a Home.
If we sometimes entertain agels unawares.
It Is certain that we have amongst people
with money, where we least expect to find It.
A case in point. Last week a good wife and
mother w 1th her husband and their children,
bought a house and lot in town. The building
is a brick structure and stands opposite
the one mile post beyond the cotton mill
from town. The buyer is Mrs. Mary Ella
Edmonds, the wife of Mr. C. H. Edmonds.
They and tbelr children have been employed
at the cotton mill for several years. Mrs.
Edmonds was made treasurer of the household,
and she so carefully kept the money
that no one knew how much she had.
When the papers were made out for the
house all were surprised at the ready cash
which she produced. The household now
have a nice home of their own, a home
which they earned by honesi toll, and their
friends extend good wishes for their health,
for their happiness, and for their future success
In life. Worthy children who will grow
to become useful citizens contributed largely
to the purchase, ana by their noble ellorts
the remainder of the purchase money will be
paid.
The success of this people furnishes an
object lesson. What they have done, others
can do, if the proper effort is made. Quite a
number of good peopla at the cotton mill
have saved money and invested it in good
property, which goes to show the value of
maaulacturiug enterprises and further &bows
that many a etrugling man or woman could
gain a home, if only the opportunity for
profitable and constant employment presented
itself.
We do not know how long Mrs. Edmonds
has kept this money about her person, but
the risk of losslng it was great. In these days
money is much safer in any bank
than it is about, the person of any
body or in any truuk. As the law now
stands |it is almost impossible for a
depositor to lose bis money. All the stock
of the bank is bound for it, and the stockholders
can be made to pay an amount in
cash equal to their stock before any depositor
ean lose one cent.
While we think everybody should iay by
a little money for a rainy day, yet we think
it is a mistake to keep it elsewhere than in
a bank.

I lie Wiriomiui Keniiion.
About lf.0 years ago when peopl? from ill!
parts Of Kurope were, striving to reach this
country, there was born on the bosom of the V
Atlantic, one, Adam Wldeman. His parents
were seeking for themselves a new home In
the wilds of undeveloped America, free from
the conjestion of Europe's great Empire.
As Adam was the first man according to J.(
Holy wtit, Adam Wldeman was tho llrst "
Widenian known to Wideman history and
ho tho Widi'tnauK began their lutnily tree (l
with "These aro the generation of Adam." I'
The family tree Is now a large one. its ram- '
tlicatious reach Into many of tno States, as "
far West as Texas the family has spread, and
as far North as Missouri the inherited spirit *
of their old fore father has led them to seek
tor homes of greater latitude.
On last Wednesday the 10th of August, at ^
the home of Mr. J. T. Bradley, a lineal descendant
of "Adam," The Wldemans held a ^
family reunion. Not withstanding the fact
that Slrlus the dog star, and the sun rose
together that morniug there was no untlrnely
rain to dampeu the spirit ol the family
frolic. The weather was all that could be
? )
? ihlll-U, p
It is not related of "Adam," the lirst, that j
lie was a humorous being; if be were not ^
then his wife must bave been Jester to ibe j
conrt of Maria Theresa, for their descen- 1
dents 6ee ai.d erjoy the humorous side of
life as keenly us any pioneer of America's ,r<
past. 11
The day was spent in humorous recital .
of the Wideman's foibks and follies and a
iaughable circumstances conneoled with ^
their progenatorn. Many Jokes were retold
at the expense of varius omsoltbe connec- '
tion. '
To the amusement of quite a number
Boggs Wideman narrated a fow phases of .
of bisllie In Florida, When a collard Is not a
eollard," uud "What a man may hear at the .
bottom of a Florida lake," etc, all of which
proved deeply interesting to hlH hearers.
The younger Wldemans had a gleeful time r,
playing games aud frollcing undar the shady
trees, and with each zephyr that blew came
the rollicking laughter of contented little ?
bands. Gallon upon gallon of lemonade .
was made to quench the thirst of this merry
gathering. ^
In summing up the leading characteristics ^
of these Wideman men and Wideman wo 1
men. we would say the -omen know how | r
to cook, and the men know howto eat r
Among the first play things of a tot of the ^
Wldeman blood are mud pies! and the j
first toy they receive from their mothers to a ^
miniature cooking stove; and the acme o ^
misery with a young Widemau buck Is to j
watt lor a second table whentbere Is com- j
pany. f
The array of good things In evidence at tblK
reunion could not have been surpassed by _
old Epicurus himself. Barbecue hash made j
after the pattern of the forties, and raised j
cornbread to go with it. Ham, chicken, pies,
tarts and two-story custard6 till the back of j
the tables were bent low. cakes of every, de- t
sclption and pickles of all varieties, and (
one quality for all?the best.

a
Unholy Alliance.
It has been said that politics make strange
bedfellows. And we believe the saying is {
true. But the strangest of all bedfellows are *
the gullible prohibitionists who form an alliance
with the shrewd elements, which favor
licensed saloons, to break up the dispensary.
Senator Brlce, we believe, avows that his
bill was Intended to break up the dispensary
without object for the future. A trt,Jan j
horse, so to speak.
The Injustice of his bill as presented, In
allowing counties which vote out the dispensary
to share in tbe protits of tbe liquor, and j
his failure to provide a scheme for raising (j
money in those virtuous counties to enforce
the dispensary law, revealed the injustice of j,
his proposition, and the Legislature in its j
wisdom, made proper provision both for the ^
enforcement of the law where there was no ^
dispensaries and for denying protits to such
oouuties as did not have tbe dispensary. j,
Tbe dispensary will be a source of trouble
as long as the temperance men make au un- j
holy alliance with the liquor element. 1
The prohibitionist who has a thimble full ,
of brains ought to know that the majority pi ^
the men alllgned with them are opposed to j.
the dispensary and are In favor of the licensed
sale of liquor in the bars.
They ought to know that their natural
allies are temperance people, and not liquor
advocates. ^
They ought to know that if they could, by
an alliance with the liquor men, overthrow
tbe dispensary, that the liquor men would ^
Immediately establish another plan for sell"
Ing liquor.
They ought to recognize the fuel that the C
dispensary giveB prohibition from sunset to
sunrise.
They ought to know that under any other ^
plan of dealing with liquor, the night time jj
was the most fruitful of evil. Q
In York and In Saluda counties especially,
the dispensary is being brought into politics.
We are glad to state that, as far as we know,
the temperance people of Abbeville ard be- A.
having themselves, and are not consorting
with the liquor elements, If there is any
such element in Abbeville. The fact Is we
know of no considerable sentiment which
would either destroy the dispensary or return S
to the old way ol dealing with liquor.
The temperance people, who favor a curtailment
in the liquor {rattle would do more
good if they did not consort with the liquor j
element, but directed their energies toward
the enforcement of the law. The iaw Is being
openly violated every day, but the friends of
the law must remain silent or their protests tl
might be used to the disadvantage ol the law. V
As a life-long prohibitionist, and as an ab- tl
stalnerfrom the use of intoxicants for more .si
than sixty years, we say, without any fear of Jt
succcssful contradiction, the dispensary is (i
the best liquor taw that we ever had. And h
we have had in this town : License, prohibi- li
Hon, high licence and dispensary. The worst p
and most wicked iorm of dealing with liquor il
is the high license. It gives a monopoly, and H
the inducements to fraud in measure, in qual- A
lly of liquor and in higher price are great. b
