Edgefield Advertiser THURSDAY, MAY 19,1892. THOS. J. ADAMS, - - - - - .- EDITOR A LULL. Jost now there seems to be a lull in politics; but only for a time. The" racket will begin again in a few weeks, and . a, series of campaign meetings will be held commenc ing in the low country about the middle of June. The State Demo cratic Executive Committee met in Columbia Tuesday night of this week, and decided when and where th?se campaign meetings ahall.be held. We -will publish the programme next-week. The Coosaw victory would have assured Tillman's re-election if he had never done anything else in the interest of the people of South Carolina. : The Newa and Courier opposes a .* . prohibition caupaign in this State, s. although it says such an issue brought into State politics now . would aliniate more of Tillman's followers than Sheppard's. A.h, indeed, andie our contemporay . blind because it cannot, or because . it will not see? What is the population of Edge < field? * '~*r~* Seventeen hundred-and twenty > BS.; . . . ( , . :Bow many newspapers.? ' "Three. How many editors? Seventeen "hundred and twenty three. . Upon the position taken by Gov. Tillman in t;he direct tax cases, . the anti'newspapers are absolutely dumb. Why thus deprived of speeeh. contempories? Why don't you go for him? Isn't he a tyrant, and a dictator, in thus depriving those Charleston lawyers of their hard earned pittance? Ah, bless your little souls, you know a good thing when you see it--but you are just now inmates of the asylum for the dumb. We suppose that when the News and Courier, assumes that a prohi bition contest in this State would take more votes from Tiilman than Sheppard, it is for the same reason that if yon fish in a trout.pond you will catch more trout than suckers. South Carolina is, one vast politi cal fishpond full of Tillman fish, jay suckers, hojnv-.heads, and^Toaches, and if you .fish in this pond and use the right kind of bait you -will be apt to catch more Tillman fish than any other kind. Thje Newberry Observer says in . substance^that the Supreme Being . is on. the'side of Ben Tillman. Edgefield Advertiser. The Observer 6aid nothing of the kind. And it did not say the Supreme Being is against Tillman either. We nave more reverence for the Supreme Being than to represent Him as taking sides in a political squabble.-Newberry . Observer. The ADVERTIRER doesn't wish to misrepresent the Observer. We . diagnosed his position from the following editorial which appeared in his paper about two weeks ago, in explaining why the people ' follow Tillman the editor wrote, "It is because Tillman, however blindly * and inappreciably, _ represents an undying principle in the hearts of free men. It is because the instinct of the masses -and instinct is stronger and truer with the human, as with the ? lower animals, than the reasoning faculty-it is because this instinct would tell them, if reasoning did not, that Tillman is one of them and is their champion. We are "not defending, excusing or eulogizing this instinct. We are . simply stating . -it as actual phenomena in human, nature and as applying to the present case. Its' existence through the will of a Supreme Being must be its ample excuse.-Newberry Observer. In. the above paragraph our contemporary states that instinct has taught the masses that Till man is their champion ; he also states that instinct is given by the Supreme Being. Now, if instinct has taught the masses of the - people in South Carolina that Till man is their champion, and if the Supreme Being has implanted that instinct in their breasts, then the Supreme Being is on the side of Tillman. This is" your ' owa" logier-the syllogistic, con . elusion of your own major and minor propositions, and you can neither evade nor avoid it. Victor Hugo accourits for the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo by saying: "The shadow of a mighty right hand was cast over Waterloo ; - it was the day of destiny, and the force which is above iaan produced that day." Your logic has brought the conclusion that the shadow of a mighty right hand is against Ha skell i em and Orr Sheppardism in South Carolina and favors Tillman, and yet you keen'up the fight against Tillman, against the instinct of the masses, against-. The" May Convention, State Democratic Convention, meets in Columbia to-niglit, Wednesday. The "duty of this convention is to nom?nate delegates to the National Democratic convention at Chicago, and "to nominate . an executive committeeman for South Carolina. If this body should follow the precedent established when John ston Hagood was nominated for Governor, it could nominate Till man for Governor, but no such thing will be done ; neither Till man nor his lieutenants could be induced to follow any such bad example. The conventiou. may endorse Tillman, but it would be wise to uot even do this.- Not to ask for an endorsement when the power to get it was absolutely and overwhelmingly his; would'show such a confidence on the part. of Governor Tillman in himself and the people, that it would paralyze opposition. : "There are men in our State who would blast the credit of and bankrupt South Carolina, if by so doing they could bring reproach on Governor Tillman and his administartion.-The Register. And there are. men who would blast the credit of and .bankrupt South Carolina rather than sec Tillman defeated. But, Brother, .let's steer our frail barks between the Scylla and Charybdis of these party factions-Newberry^ Obsevei One of our correspondents writet us that "the conventipn which meeti in Columbia Wednesday, the 18th will nominate Tillman as one oj the delegates to Chicago, and that when he gets to Chicago they'll nominate him for President. The consequence will be that we'lj never see him no more-that he'l.1 never come back no more but he hopes Ben will make a lau requiring all the candidates foi Prepident to go around and speak at all the cross roads in the United States, and then we'll see him some more." We beg that, our friend will not 1)6 uneasy. He will see the Gov ernor some more before cot tor Dicking time, unless all the signs fail. . Third Party Births and Deaths A Texas exchange has beer j looking up the history of Thirc parties for the, education of iti friends who have strayed awaj from the people's party, so called Here is the list: 1. The Clinton Democrats born, 1812 died the same year. 2.. The anti-Masonic party, born 1826, and though such men as "Stewart,7Filmore, Weed, Olay^nc Wirt were identified with it itt existence ceased in 1632. 3. The Liberty party", born ii 1840? died in 1814. 4. The Free Soil or Abolitioi part'v, born in 1848, died 1851-2 5. " The Southern States' Righ party, born in 1852, died th< same years. \ 6. The American or Know Nott? ing partv, born in \ 1856, died ii 1860. 7. The Liberal Republican part} born in 1872, died the same year. 8- The Temperance party's birtl and death occurred in 1872. 9. The Labor Reform party came into and went out of existent in 1872. 10. The American National ''party was born in 1875 and diec in 1386. 11. The Greenback party wai born in 1875 and died in 1880. 12. The Prohibition party, as s national party, was b#rn in 187( and h as been dying a slow deatl ever since. 13. The National party was boru in 1878 and died tue same year. 14. The National Liberty part} breathed its first and last death in 1876. 15. The Greenback Labor part} was born in . 1882 and died se quietly that the exact time of iti demise is not known. Since 1882 probably a* dozer different parties, more or les: tinctured, with communism OJ socialism, have flourished fo: short times. So it'will be seen that th< Democrats have danced at th< funeral of more than a score oi parties -> THE COMING RACE. Dr Tanner's Colony for Raisin; Absolutely Perfect Men ant Women. " I never felt any but good efl ects from my experiment," sait Dr H. S. Tanner, whose fast o forty days some years ago madi him famous. "In fact I am firml} convinced that if a man shoult fast for forty days every ton yean in his life there is no reason wir he should not live to be a hundrec years old. He renews his you tl every time he does it. The trutl is that the American people an all-digging their graves with thei: teeth, I am a strict vegetarian I eat but two meals a day and nothing at all after noon. I d< not blame Furopeans for refusing our pork. Meat eating* i expensive at the -best. You feet an animal ten pounds of grain ti get a part of one pound of meat It is like putting ten good gold dol lars in the bank an dthen a yea afterward giving the' bank i receipt for fifty cents." Dr Tanner is now engaged ii New Mexico -upon a decided! novel plan for making futun generations of absolutely pcrfec men and women. "We hav bought, a 1,500-acre ranch nea Las Curces," he said, in explaining this plan, "and built a bonn for 100 poor orphaned We bring these children up inj absolute ignorance of the existence of alcohol,-* tobacco, or narcotics of any kind... We give them a good education and plenty of exercise. When any of them reach a marriageable age we. ??hall bring them to some -city and allow them to see trie world. - They can remain in and of the world if they wish but if they prefer our colony life they can return to us, but with the understanding that they can marry only among them selves. Is it not reasonable to sup pose that in time their descendants, free from any hereditary taint, will be as near perfect men and women as can be marlo on this earth?. It is simply the plan which, the breeders of fiue horses or cattle carry ouV successfully. In man it will result in physical, mental, moral and spiritual better ment.-Chiago Inter-Ocean. GOVERNOR TILLMAN FIRM. The C?mpb?ll-Trescott-Earle Claim Will Not be Honored. Some time ago there appeared in the News and Courier an advertisement-concerning the pay ment of the direct tax refund. Several lawyers, who claim that they are entitled to a large slice of refund for rendering services which have never been proven, made an advertisement that called forth a prompt warning from Governor Tillman to -the direct tax claimants.- In yesterday's News and Courier appeared a lengthy, leaded defense by^, the lawyers in question, asserting that their claims were just and giving no. proof of the same. They claimed that Governor Tillman had >no right to denominate their ' I demand as an "outrageous claim for unearned money." In refernce to this lengthy defense, Governor Tillman spoke as follows yesterday : I "adhere to the opinion that it is an unjust and outrageous claim/ aud under the law I have the power to protect the taxpayers and intemd to do it. There is no evidence whatever that the attorneys got Congress to pass the bill refunding the direct tax. The attorneys were employed to prose cute the claims in court and not to act as lobbyists to Congress. They never did prosecute the claims In court. The money was refunded ex gratia. Congre?e imposed the provision that all such claims by lawyers should be barred. Never would any moue)1 have ' been-refunded but for .thc fact, that Northern States were tc receive $10 for every dollar thal 11 came South." In reference to a number ol complaints that have come up from Charleston as to the conducl of Mr. C. Richardson ?Miles, the Master for the county who is tc prove the claims of the appellants for refund, Governor Tillman said : i ^?^plaiiftr'H?ve been made.lc f me" that Master Miles is withhold ing refund certificates at thc nstance of Magrath and' .othei lawyers. I have written to Mr. Miles on this subiect." Mr. Mil?B's conduct in reference to the proving of claims hai ? I caused considerable dissatisfactior Until written to by Governor Till on the subject he collected fron each claimant $1 for which ther( was no warrant of law. A Serious Matter.
