Tillman's Sudden Change. (
In view of bit violent utteraneet
in the West, when he >ai<l
that h race war wh? imminent in f
the South, it must require unlim- ^
ited nerve on Senator Tillman's 1
part to adversely cri icise the 1
uewspupers of this Mate for call- 1
ing attoution to ths reign of law- 1
loiiooss and murder. \Y hen he 1
was spouting tiro on thut spectao- c
ular trip ihis newspaper declared ^
that Senator Tillman was kiliing '
off all hope of bringing a desirable
class of immigrants t?> this {
State by his alarming speeches. H
The same opinion whs held by c
others. We called attention to '(
the fact that lie was placing ob- f
taelee in the way of the immi- gration
societies and t he indus- 1
trial departments of railroads, and
this sauie view was held I)y tho
Manufacturers'Record of Haiti- 1
.... . . I
more, wmcti nus done so mucn ,>
for the development of the "j
South. 1
The senior senator from South ,
Carolina now comes forth in a
new role anil attarks the press for i
preaching against crimo. Ho
says that wo will frighten away
the immigrants. Must wo keep
our mouth shut, permitting the
murderous hands to sweep and '
rule ihe State, simply to Wring
in a few peoplo? Murders are ^
committed in every State, hut1 l
race wais are not an ovory day (
occurrence Senator Tillman "
hoisted the red-Hag wf danger, and
talked about the notorious condi '
tioiu because tie was pant so much
for every lecture. But the press j
hat voiced the sentiment of tho 1
decent, abiding people in protest- 1
ing against tli-j disgrace of the
commonwealth, and it did so, be1
heving that it was performing a \
public service, and not because 1
thero was a reward. Tho bad
record hut been growing worse
since the dispensary law was first
pat into effect. It has likewise
boon due to the weak politician* ^
who have been elected to publio t
offices, aad nearly all of these mon t
are disciples of Tillmun. So when *
we think of these things, there is 1
not much credit for our distinguished
statesman, and few of us
will have any faith in his sincerity v
when wo remember that ho first t
mad* speeches which were accept- 1
ed by the immigrants as u. warn* .
ing to keep away from South J
Curolinu.?Greenville News. j
That proposition to put a half (
mill extra levy on such counties (
as may see tit to vote out dispell- i
sarie* under the bill that has been 1
recommended by the house com- (
mitten is really intended as an
. 1
obstacle to the rcinovul of dis- t
pensailc* after they have been i
onco established. The treason 1
given for Ike proposition is to I
mako non-liquor selling counties
kelp pay tho expense of keeping ,
down competition; but tnis is not i
likely to l)e swallowed by u great I
many people. However, if that 1
'? tbo best that (an be done, let it :
1
go at that. Sioco we aro in the
clutches of the whiskey ring any j
way, it tfould bo bo tor to pay |
the half-mill tribute than submit '
to the otherwise inevitable de- 1
bauehery. ?Yorkvillo Enquirer.

A Way to Help Baltimore.
Baltimore bus shown splendid
duck in declining outside aid and
n the determination to master,
ier?elf, her own groat misfortune;
ind the statement in yesterday
norning's dispatches that h?r
uisinoss men are "aroused in an
ixtraordinarj degree to the in..
>ortun< o of doing everything possible
to keep their trade udvan,ages
from slipping away," must
iuvo been read with friendly increst.
Now here is a direction
n which Southern merchants can
ie!p without extending charity.
Easiness is not governed by scnti
nent nor should it be; but in
jonsiderution of the South's deep
>bligntion to Baltimore?which is
u fact a Southern city?Southern

they must buy olsowhero, in the
meantime, hold themselves free
from permanent alliances in other
places; and those who have not
heretofore bought there, might
well trv that market when it is
rehabilitated, to learn if it dooa
not. offer them advantages equal
to those of otho?* cities. Balti"

speedily ? built better, it is hoped,
than it was before. Our people,
who are so filled with sympathy
For it aud would so gladly con

nelp it to its feet again by helping
it to "keep it* trade advantages
From slipping away," and helping

without prejudice to their own interests

Mr. Takhira's Views.
Speech of the Japanese Minister ,
Head at the Annual Diuuer of
the Silk Association of
America. _
New York, Feb. 11. ? The
thirty-second ansual dinner of
the Silk Association of America
was held at Delmonico's tonight.
It had been expected that the
Japano.se minister, Kngaro Tak ]
hira, would be present to respond .
to the toast 4'Dai Nippon," but I
he was unable to leave Washington
and sent a long telegram instead.
His speech was read by
consul General Uchida, of this j
,.t 11.. _.i,i
pin t. aii. i nMin n duui vol wus
in part as follows:
<4ln 1895 Japan gained a foot"
hold in Manchuria by right of
conquest. Russia thereupon took
the initiative in intrrenting on the ,
ground that Japan's occupation of I
the Liao-Tung peninsula was a ,
menace to the peace of tho East
and integrity of China. After? |
wards, first, through undertakings
nominally poacefnl and subaer- *
Tient to Chineso society, then on
pretexts baaed on internal disorders
in China, but at no time .j.!
justified by actual conditions?
Russia herself took armed pessossion
of the whole of Manchuria.
To the ordinary intelligence it j
would appear that the peace of | ,
tho East and tho integrity of ,
China were menaced quite aa j
much in one case us in the other. |
14But Japan had another and <
strouger reason for intervention.
Russia, once the absolute mistreas
of Manchuria, hold Korea at her
mercy. W hen she could with
little elfort sweep away the feeble
resistance of that kingdom it did
not 'equiro extraordinary foresight
to perceive that she would
not permit even an independent
Korea to remain as a possible
embarrassment to her future control
of the North Asian litoral.
Herein lay the real menace to
Japan, not alone to her national "
repose and security. For this
reason she has iuter vonod."

Lot the People be Froe.
A bill has been introduced in J
the legislature looking to giving ;
towns the right to do away with '
local dispensaries by popular vote.
The bill is a good one. If the
dispensary ia a temperance men*
lire as Senator Tillman declared
it wus, then when the dispensary
people get ready to dispense with
the dispensary they should he
permitted to do so.
The recent conduct of tha d^s
pensary authorities in forcing the
people of two communities to put
up with dispensaries when their
people wished to rid themselves
of the curse of the whiskey business,
is most deserving of condemnation.
No town should hare
it8 good fortune and its morul
conduct placed in the haads of u
whiskey board. Emancipate the
towns which wish to he free.
That ought to bo the position oi
every sonator and representative
who truly loves his State and
labors for hor upbuilding'.?Clinton
