THE BURDENS CP LIFEAn
Eloquent and Force'nl Sermon l>y Ksv,
Dr. Talm^ge.
San Francisco, May 27.?Rev. T.
DeWitt Talmage is now in this city,
whence he will sail nest Thursday en
(H? efeamor A!qm?f!? fnr "HVinn'nln fin
his trip round the world. He preached
today to a large and deeply interested
audience on the subject of "Heavy
Weights," the text b?ing taken from
Psalms lv, 22, "Cast thy burdens upon
the Lord, and he shall sustain thee."
David was here takiDghis own medicine.
If anybody had on him heavy
weights, David had them, and yet out of
his own experience he acvises you and
me as tothebesi way of getting rid of
burdens. This is a world of burden bearing.
Daring the past few davs tidings
came from acioss the sea of a mighty and
good man fallen. A man full of the
Holy Ghost was he, his name the synonym
for all that is good and kind and
gracious and benedcient. Word comes
to us a scourge sweeping ofi hundreds
and thousands of people, and there is a
hnrdan of sorrow. Sorrow on the sea
and sorrow cn the land. Coining into
the hcu3e of Drayer there may be no
sign of sadness cr sorrow, but wbere is
the man who has not a conflict? Where
is the soal that has not a struggle? And
there is not a day of all the year when
my text is not gloriously appropriate,
and there is never an audience assembled
on the planet where the text is not gloriously
appropriate, "Cast thy burden
upon the Lord, and he shall sustain
thee.".
In the far east wells of water are so
infrequent that when a man owns a well
he has a property of very great value,
and sometimes battles have been fought
for the possession of one well of water,
tut there is one well that every man
owns, a deep well, a perennial well a
well of tears. If a man hss not a burden
cn this shoulder he has a burden on the
other shoulder.
The day I left home to look after myself
and for myself in the wagon my father
sat driving, und he said that day
somfithincr which has Vent, with rre. ell
my lite: "DeWitt it 18 always safe to
trust God. I have many time come to a
crisis of difficulty. You may know that,
having been sick fcr 15 years, it was no
easy thing for me to support a family,
but always God came to tee rescue. I
remember the time," he said, "when I
didn't know what to do, and I saw a
man on horseback riding up the firm
lane, and he announced to me that I
had been nominated for the most lucrative
office in ail the gift of the people of
the county, and to that cffice I wa3
elected, and God in that way met all my
wants, and I tell you it is always safe to
trust him."
Oh, my friends, what we want is a
practical religion. The religion people
have iB so high up you cannot reach it.
I bad a friend who entered the life of an
evangelist. He gave up a lucrative
business in Chicago, and he and his
? - wife hndllycame to severe want.' He
told me that in the morning prayers he
he said: "0 Lord, thou knowest we
nave not a moutDiui 01 loou in tne nouse:
Help me, help us!" And he started
out on the street, and a gentleman met
him aod said: "I have been thinking cf
you a good while. You know lama
flour merchant. If you won't be oflended,
I shouM like to send you a barrel of
flour." He cast his burden on the
Loid, and the Lord sustained him, Now
tbat is the kind cf religion we want.
In the strait of Magellan I have been
told, there is a place where, whichever
way a ship captain puts his ship, he finds
the wind against hi d, and there are
. men who ail their lives have been running
in tne teeth of the wind, and which
way to turn they do not know. Some of
them may be in this assemblage, and I
address them face to face, not perfunctorily,
but as one brother talks to another
brother, "Cast thy burden upon ;
the Lord, and he shall sustain thee."
There are a great many men who have
business burdens. When we see a man
harried and perplexed and annoyed m
business life, we are apt to say, "He
ougm not 10 nave auempieu to carry so
much." Ah, that man may not be to
blame at all! When a man plants his
business, he does not know what will be
its outgrowths, what will be its roots,
what will be its tenches. There is
many a man with keen foresight and
large business faculty who has been
flung into tho dust by unforeseen cir
cumstances springing upon him from
ambush. When to buy, when to sell,
when to truBt and to what amount of :
credit, what will be the effect of this
new invention in machinery, what will
th? effieot of that loss of crot> and a
thousand other questions perplex business
men until the hair is silvered and
deep wrinkles are plowed in the cheek, i
and the stcks go up by mountains and 20
down by valleys, and they are at then* 1
wits' ends and stagger like drunken
men.
There never has been a time when 1

A young accountant iu New York city
got hi3 accounts entaDgled. He knew
he wa3 honest, and yet he could, not
make his accounts come out right, and
he toiled at them day and night until he
was nearly frenzied. It seemed by those
books that something had teen misappropriated,
and he knew before God he
was honest. The last day came. lie
knew if he could not that day make his
accounts come cut right be would go
into disgrace and go into banishment
irom the business estaolishment. He
went over there very early, before there
Was anybody in the place, and he knelt
down at the desk and said: "O Lord,
thcu kncwest 1 have tried to be nones c,
but I cannot make these things come
out right! Help me today?help mo this
momins!" The ycuog man arose, and
hardly knowing why he did so opened a
book that lay on the desk, and there was
a leat containing a line of figures which
explained everything. In other words,
he cast his burden upon the Lord, and
the Loid sustained him. Young man,
do you hear that?
Uh, yes, God has a sympathy with
anybody that is id any kind of toil. He
knows how heavy is the fccd of bricks
that the workman carries up the ladder
on the wail, he hears the pickax of the
miner down in the coal shaft, he knows
how strong the tempest strikes the sailor
at masthead, he sees the factory girl
among the spindles and knows how her
arms ache, lie eees the sewing woman
iu the fourth story and knows how few
pence she gets for making a garment,
ana louder than all the dm and roar of
the city comes the voice of a sympathetic
God, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee."
Then there are a great many who
have a weight of persecution and abase
upon ihem. Sometimes society get3 a
grudge against a man. All his motives
are mlsinterpre'cd, and all his good
deeds are depreciated. With more virtare
than some of the honored and applauded
he runs only against raillery and
sharp criticism. When a man begins to
go down, he has not only the force of natural
gravitation, but a hundred hands
to help him in the precipitation. Men
are persecuted for their virtues and their
successes. Germanicu3 said he had just
as many bitter antagonists as he had adornments.
The character sometimes
is so lustrous that the weak eyes of envy
and jealousy cannot be ir to look at it.
It was their integrity that put Joseph
in the pit, and Dauiel in the den, and
Shadrach in the fire, and seat John the

~ The- ??orid always has had a cross between
two thieves for the one who
comes to save it. High and holy enterprise
has aiways been followed by abuse.
The most sublime tragedy of self sacrifice
has come to burlesque. The graceful
gait of virture is always followed by
sceff aud grimace aud travesty. The
sweetest strain of poetry ever written
has come to ridiculous parody, and as
long as there are virtue aud righteousness
in the world there will be something
for iniquity to grin at. Ail along the
line of the ages and in all lands the cry
has been: "Not thi3 man, but Barabbas.
Kow, Barabba3 was arobrer."
A nd what makes the persecutions of
life worse is that they come from people
whom you have helped, from those to
whom you loaned money or have started
m business, or whom you rescued in
some great crisis. I think it has been
the history of all cur lives?the most
acrimonious assault has come from those
whom we have benefited, whom we have
helped, and that makes it all the hard?r
to bear. A man is in danger of becoming
cynical.
A clergyman of the Universalist
church went into a neighborhood for the
establishment of a church of his denomination,
and he was anxious to find some
one of that denomination, and he was
pointed to a certain house and went
there. He said to the man of the house:
"I understand you are allniversalist. I
want you to help me ia the enterprise."
"Well," said the man, "I am a UniverBalist,
but I have a peculiar kind ofUniversalism."
"What is thai?" asked the
minister. "Well," replied the other, "I
have been cut in the world, and I have
been cheated and slandered and outraged
and abused until I believe in universal
damnation!"
' ~ * - iL.i ? .*11 -
me great oanger is taat men win uecome
cynical and given to believe, as
David was tempted to say, that all men
are liars. Oh, my friends, do not let
that be the effect upon your souls! If
ycu cannot endure a little persecution,
how do you think cur fathers endured
great persecution? Motley, in his "Dutch
Republic," tells us of Egmont, the martyr,
who. condemned to be beheaded,
unfastened his CDlkr on the way to the
scaffold, and when they asked him why
he did th. he said: "iSo they will not
be detained in their work. I want to be
ready." Oh, how little we have to enSure
compared with those who have gone
before us!
Now, if you have come across ill
treatment, let me tell you you are in excellent
company?Christ and Luther and
Gralilei and Columbus and John Jay and
Josiah Qu.ncy&nd thousands of men and
vomer, the best spirits of earth and heareo.
Budge not one inch, though all hell
vreak upon you its veDgeance and you
>e made a target for devils to shoot at.
Do you not think Christ knew all about
DersecutioL? Was he not hissed at! Was
le not struck on the cheek? Was he not
)ursued all the days of his life. D:d they
lot expectorate upon him? Or, to put
t in Bible language, "They spit upon
lim." And cannot he understand what
>ersecution is? "Cast the.y burden upon
he Lord, and he shali sustain thee."
Then there are others who carry great
.urdens cf physical ailments. When
udden sickness has come and tierce
holera3 and mai:guant fevers take the
:astles of life by storm, we appeal to
Jed, but iu these chronic ailments which
?ear out the strength day after day and
veek after wce-k and year after year how
little resorting to God for solace! Then
people, defended upon their tomes, and
their plasters, and their cordials rather
than upon heavenly stimulants.
Oh, how few people there are completely
well. Some cf you, by, dint of
perseverance and care, have kept living
to this time, bur how you have had to
war against physical ailments! Antedilu
vians, without medical college and infirmary
and apothecary shop, multiplied
their years by hundreds, but he who has
gone through the gantlet of disease in
cur time and has come to 70 years of age
is a hero worthy of a paim.
The world seems to be a great hospital,
and you run against rheumatisms
and consumptions and scrofulas and
scrofulas and neuralgias and scores of
old diseases baptized'bv new nomenclature.
Oh, how heavy a burden sickness
is! It takes the color out of the sny,
and the sparkle out of the wave, and
the sweetness out of the fruit, and the

ache, when the mouth is hot, when the
ear roars with unhealthy obstructions,
how hard it is to be patient and chearfuland
assiduous!
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord."
Does your head ache? His wore the
thcrn. Do your feet hurt? His were
crushed ot the spikes. Is your side painful?
IIi3 was struck by the spear. Do
you feel like giving way under the
burden? His weakness gave way under
a cross. While you are in every possible
way to try to restore your physical
vigor, you are to remember that
more soothing than any anoayne, more
vitalizing than any stimulant and more
strengthening than any tonic is the
prercription of the text, "Cist thy burden
upon the Lord, and he will sustain
these."
We hear a great deal of talk now
about faith cure, and some people say
it cannot be done and it is a failure. I
do not know but that the chief advance
of the church is to be in that direction.
Marvelous things come to me day by
day which make mo think that if the
age of miracles is past it is because the
faith of miracles is past.
A prominent merchant of New York
said to a member of my family, "My
mother wants her case mentioned to
Mr. Talmage."
This was the case. He said: "My mother
had a dreadful abscess, from which
she had suffered untold agonies, and all
surgery had been exau3ted upon her,
and worse and worse she grew until we
canea m a lew i^utisuaiu incuusauu^iv
ceeded to pray about it. We commended
her case to God, and the abscess
began immediately to be cured. She is
entirely well now and.without any sur
Igeiy." So that case has come to me,
and there are a score of other cases
coming to our ears from all parts of the
earth 0, ye who are sick, go to Christ!
Oh,ye who are worn out with agonies of
body, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee."
Another burden some have to carry
is the burden of breevement. Ab, these
are the troubles that wear us out! If we
lose our property, by additional industry
perhaps we may bring back the
estranged fortune; if we lose our good
name, perhaps by reformation of morals
we may achieve again reputation
for integrity, but who will bring back
the dear departed?
Alas, me, for these empty cradles and
these trunks of childish toys that, will
never be used again! Alas, me, for the
i empty chair and the silence in the halls
I that will never echo again to those fam
I iliar footsteps! Alas for the cry of widI

Marahs in the wilderness, what cities
of the dead, what long black shadow
from the wing of death, what eyes sunken
with grief, what hands trembling
with bereavement, what instruments
of music shut now because there are
no lingers to play on them! Is there no
relief for such spuls? Aye, let that soul
; ride into the harbor of my text:

down the sky at the coronation of another
soul come home to glory.
Then there are many who carry the
burden of siD. Ah, we all carry it until
in the appointed way that burden is
lifted. \Ve need no Bible to prove that
the whole race is ruined. What a spectacle
it would be if we could tear off

we could not endure the sight. 6in,
grim and dire, has put its clutch upon
the immortal soul, and that clutch will
never relax unless it be under the heel
of him who came to destroy the works
of the devil.
Oh, to have a mountain of sin on the

Sbocklnj; Wreck.
Coierlaxd, Md., May 27.? The
New York and Pittsburg express on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
which left here at 1.30 this morning,
was wrecked near Pine Grove, two ana
a half miles east of Rockwood, Penn.,
about 3 o'clock this morning. The
coaches were filled with passengers and
the train was running at the rate of sixty
miles an hour. Suddenly, without a
moment's warning, the engine dashed
into a large land slide, sending the engine
in a twinkling down into the
creek, where it still lies, The combination
mail and express and the regular
express and the regnlar express cars
crashed into the engine with ternlic
force, aud in a few minutes were on
tire. The coaches with their precious
burden of passengers were jammed together,
but did not leave the track.
Xone of the passengers were injured.
As soon as the train quieted from t he
concussion the passengers rushed to the
piled up and burniDg express car, where
they found Messenger Stonl. of the United
States Express Company, straggling
to escape from his car, and in a
moment he was rescued. He had received
serious Injuries about the head
unH anr? nrnhahlv internally hnt
it is thought he will recover. The passengers
then turned their attention to
the derailed engine below in the creek
and were horrilied to iina no signs of
the engineer cr his fireman. For live
hours the^ continued their search until
at last they found the crushed and dead
body of Fireman lihinheart under the
locomotive. One of his feet was entirely
burned off. Continuing their search
they came across by itself the remains
of the unfortunate engineer, Xichol3on
These they gathered up and placed in
a bucket, the rest of his body having
been entirly consumed by fire. Messenger
Stohl was taken to Baltimore,
where he lives, on Train Xo 6 this afternoon.
The remains of the engineer
and tireman were taken to Glenwood,
i'a., where they have familes. All
traffic was suspended for live or six
hours.
PROHIBITION ADDRESS, ;
ISSUED BY THE STATE EXECUTIVE I
COMMITTEE TO DEMOCRATS]
" !
Gatt'na Ready tor the Iila Convention, I
Which Will Soon be Held in Colnmb's? I
I
Want the Question Submitted to the 1
rcopi-*. I
Columbia. S. C., May 23.?The j
Prohibitionists of the State are now up <
and doing, though it can hardly be said
that they are doing much so far. It has i
been thought for some weeks, since the i
accidcntrl prohibition law ha3 been of
effect, that the Prohibitionists weald
take steps to have the law applied to the
men dealing in liquor. But they have
not made a move so so tar as the aencral
publ'c is aware.
The committee now comes to the front :
however, and shows its hand. The
committee manifestly wishes to consult
with ihe Prohibitionists of the Slate and
get them all to join in a demand upon
city authorities that the prohibition law
be enforced. Friday the committee prepaied
an address to the people of the
State along this line and urgiDg a bis attendance
at the State Prohibition convention
to be heldm this city on June 7.
This address was given to the press Friday
but withdrawn and held over till yesterday,
when it was made public. The
address reads as follows:
To the Democratic voters of South
Carolina:
We are at this time confronted with a
situation which threatens greater perils
to all the interest of our people than any
which we have had to face since the dark
day ol reconstruction and negro domina
tion. It ^is, therefore, the part of true
manhood and loyal citizenship, to meet
the emergcuoy with a determined purpose
to do fearlessly and uncompromisingly
that which is right in the signt of
God and, trusting to him for a safe deliverance
from the impending evils.
The State Prohibition Executive Committee,
voicing the sentiments of the
large class of' our people who believe
that the liquor traffic in an evil agency
from wh'ch flows most of the pauperism,
crime and suffering which curse our S-ate
aDd who are confident in belief that
prohibition of the traffic is the only adequate
remedy for these evils within our
reach, bave issued a cali for a convention
to meet in Columbia on the 7 th day
of June to consider the means tor applying
this remedy. We feel that we are
but fulfilling: a duty which we owe to
our fellow citizens in urging upon them,
with all the earnestness of which we are
capable, the supreme importance of responding
to this call and giving the most
thoughtful consideration to the occasion
which demands it. An experiment authorized
by the Legislature, in direct
violation ot the will of the people a3
clearly expressed at the last election,
has, after nine months trial, just been
closed by the interposition of the Supreme
Court, at a cost cf bitter political
animosity, bloodshed, and a condition
of unchecked lawlessness on the
part of the representatives of the liquor
traffic, unparalleiled in the history of the
State. The first decision of. the Supreme
Court has been interpreted by some a3
in effect, removing all restraints from
the liquor traffic, and the whiskey seller
has been thus advertised that they might
reopen their saloons anywhere in the
State without molestation from the authorities.
As a direct result ot this announcement,
the sluice gates of this
abomination have been opened, and a
stream ot intoxicants is now rolling in
upon the State, which, if unchecked, by
the prompt and determined action c: a
united people, will carry deatu and destruction
tc every portion of our devoted
commoiwealth.
if we did not believe that there is sufficient
power in the law, if promptly utilized,
to protect us in a measure from
the threatened evils, the situation would
indeed be appalling, but we confidently
assure you fellow citizens, that you are
not left hopeiessly to battle with this
merciless foe, thus invited to invade the
sanctity of your homes. The means
of protection are within your reach.
Municipal law3 exist in most of the
towns and cities of the State forbidding
the sale of intoxicating liquors without a
license and there are penalties to enforce
such ordinances. It therefore becomes
the duty of ail good citizens to demand
of their municipal authorities that this
prohibition be applied to anyone who
would attempt, under the ill-advised assurance
of auy one, to violate the law of
onmmnnilc thllR fixnres3f(l.
The statute law, which the supreme
Court has decided to.be of force, pro*
vides for the punishment of offenders
when convicted, a fine of $200 or six
months imprisonment, or both, in the
discretion of the court. While it is true
that thes8 statutes, both in their penalties
and method of prccsedure, are not
such as are needed to guarantee the
most efleclive enforcement of prohibition,
and only show the necessity for
our present movement to secure the passage
of a law framed in all its parts to
insure its own summary enforcement,
still, the law as it stands is a means of
defense against the illegal whiskey
traffic, and should be used for all that it
will do, until a more perfect law can be
obtained.
It is therefore especially the duty of
prohibitionists to make this the occasion
when they shall give emphasis to I
their faith, and assurance of their con -1
sistency, by aiding in every proper way
to briDg such violators under the operation
of the law. in this way can we
most effectually show that our denunciation
of the liquor traffic and our demand
for lis prohibition was not an unmeaning
clamor but the earnest heartfelt expression
of truth and soberness.
The abandonment of all effort to prevent
the reopening of saloons, and the
promptness with which the liquor sellers
have reoccupied his former position in
many parts of the Stale, show uumistakabiv
that the battle is joined between
the law-respecting citizen and the lawless
wlrskey seller and that the issue can
be no longer evaded or avoided. In this
crisis we urgently present- to you the
only alternative by which as its;em3 to
us, the scattered and divided forces can
be united for successful resistance to the'
common enemy. It is for all true citizens
who have the general good at heart
to lay aside the animosities which have
divided them as a political party in the
past, and putting behind them the bitterness
which four years of factional strife
has engendered, remember only that we
are Carolinians, whose dearest interests
are in jeopardy.and meetina as brethren
on the common ground which all can

together until prohibition is permanently
engrafted on the fundamental law of
the tS'.ate, In the presence of a daDger
so imminent, all considerations of mere
peresonal or factional dominance or advancement
should bo held resolutely in
abeyance, and those who at such a lime
would seek to influence passion or prevent
the healing cf existing variances,
or introduce new causes for embittering

be peremptorily remanded to the rear i
until the enemy in our froDt has been i

Who can doubt, that if the thought- i
ful conservative men of both factions <
into which our people have been so unfortuuately
divided, can be brought to- '
gethcr iu council on a question of such i
vital moment to them all as this, it will '
be the beginning ol a new era offraterni- i

prevent this fraternization? Are there
aot enough good and true men to be A
found on both sides, intelligent enough,
and patriotic enough, to hold iheir preferences
for men in check long enough to
give grave consideration to a question T
which has been shown to involve not,
merely a policy, but the very peace and
3afety of society and the maintenance of
the law and authority under which we
are to live? We therefore appeal to the

ASSESSMENT OF RAILROAD. ^
Sight Reductions Made '.n the Assess- 11
imntgol Ncstol Them, (
Columbia,S. C..May 31.?The State
Board of Railroad Equalization held a
meeting yesterday and made the assess- t
ments on the railroads for toe ensuring \
year. ?
The Board is composed of State Tre- J
asurer Bates as chairman, Attorney \
General Buchanan, Secretary of State ~
Tindal and Chairman Duncau, of the r
Rairoad Commission.
The session of the Board did not last 9
over three hours but every road in the s
State was gone over and the assess- *
ments on each fixed. The assessments
are not final; at least chaDge3 may be t
made in some of them. Each road has i
been notified of the amounts it was as g
sessed at and will be given an opportu- \
nity to enter protests or to ask for g
changes. The next meeting will be ^
uciu uu fj uuc a.
Secretary Norton, of the Board, was ;
too busy yesterday to give the figures "
to the puplic but from different sour- E
ces it was leared that there has been a 3
slight scaling in the assessements of a I
majority of the roads. The assessments a
of some of the new roads, notably the s
Wilson Short Cut and the Georgia, r
Carolina and Northern, have been increased.
The object of the Board in j
the reductions and increases was to j:
equalize taxation. The two new roads r
mentioned have played havoc with the c
business of some of the old roads and 0
have consequently diminished the val- rc
ue of the latter.
It is understood that the Columbia 1
and Greenvillee, the Charlotte, Colum- c
bia and Augusta, the Spartanbuag,Un- i
ion and Columbia and the Piedmont c
Air Line, all of the Richmond and e
Danville system, have had reductions 1
made in their assessments. The reduc- t
tions run from $2,000 to S3,000 per
mile. The Atlantic Coast Line and the ]
Port Royal and Augusta roads have 8
also been given reductions. The largest t
c? D^rt/1
CUl was rnaue iu luc JLUi.ec ua xwau, c
which will hereafter pay ?6,000 instead 0
of $10,000 a mile. The assessment of r
the South Carolina road will remain as :
it is, 316,000 per mile. 1
The assessment of the Columbia and s
Greenville road last year was $10,500 1
per mile; the Charlotte, Columbia and *
Augusta $14,000 per mile; the Tied- c
mont Air Line S18,000 per mile; the s
Coast Line $13,000. c
The total reduction will not be heavy c
probably $200,000 or $300,000 in the en- ^

Murderer Hanged. I
Macon, Ga.,May28 ? Henry Miller, t
colored, was hanged here Friday for the
murder of Mr. John Braswell on Septem c
ber 19, 1893. The|evidence on which he z
was convicted principally circumstantial
and he denied the crime to the last, but
acknowledged being present when it was (
done and robbing the dead man's pock c
ets. He also confessed to fcaviDg kill- [
ed Pink Ryan, who wa3 found dead un- j
der the shed of the Metropolitan Street :
Railway Company a year and a half ago 1
and whose murder has always been
shrouded In mystery. He lurther con
fessed that he had killed three other men r
on the Ocmulgee river and he belonged I
to a band of Kuklux. The drop fell at c
12:19, and he died io five minutes, hl3 t
neck having been broken. He made no ?
confession of religiOD and said he could s
live as well in hell as anywhere else.
He was deliant and sullen to the last and
exhibited no symptons of weakness on
the scaffold. The crime for which he
was convicted was one of the most brutal
committed in this section since the
Woolfoik murder. Miller and others
waylaid and murdered Mr. Bra3well
while he wa3 on his way home ic the
country from Macon. His throat was
cut from ear to ear and his head was
shot full of slugs and buckt shot. ?

Much Amused at It.
Columbia, S. C., May 29.?The lat3t

f money in this couutrv has been sugested
to Governor Tillman m a letter
rhich he gave to newspaper men ye3teray.
The Governor did not express
imseif in favor of the plan
ut was amused at it. He thinks,
owever, of advocating a tsx on
achelors. If this tax cculdbe added to

iave the ellect of adding another charm
o the proposed new law.' Parenis of
nore than the average number of chil
Ireu will probably wish that the proceed
law could be made retrospective as
Fell a3 prospective. The author of the
iroposed new law is unknown but here
3 his letter:
Orangeburg, s. C., May 23, 1894.
jovermr B. K Tillman, Columbia,
S. C.
Dear Sir: I have read with interest
he replies ot yourself and Senator Buter
to the questions propounded by the
state Alliance, and after a careful com>arison
end study of the two papers, it
pves me pleasure to accord to you in
lational politics that hearty support
vbich I have always given you in Slate
iffairs, Your position is well taken and
m'xod2, and I feel eoutident that you will
?iu.
To niy mind there is one point yet to
>e settled,?bow to issue money to the
>eopie after the government makes it?
md it is upon this point that I take the
iberty of writing you. The free comige
of silver and gold will issue money
lirect to the people oftie West; the
lensions will be a direct issue to all
Yankeedom, but the South will have no
noney issued to her except what little
.he 2ets bv nublic improvements. This
nits "The land we love" at a ureat disidvantage
as she will have no money
upply except what comes to her in the
eguiar channels of trade.
I Trite to suggest to your mature
udgmeot and experience a plan for the
ssue of money direct to the people, a
)lan that will know no North, nor South
lor East, nor West. It is this: Let the
;ovemment issue a pension of $100 in
;reenbacks legal tender for all dues,
lublic and private) to every couple who
:ontracts the marriage relation; also a
jounty of $10 (greenbacks) to the parent
T every child born in wedlock after the
mactment of these tuggestionsinto law
fhe effect of such a law would be marvelous.
The volume of circulation would
ixpand with ths increase of population.
>Iew industries would spring up. Joint
itcck companies would oe formed for the
nanutacture of cradles, baby carriages,
;otton diapers and soothing syrup. A
;realer demand would be created for
ood and clothing, aod there would no
onger be any danger of over-production
Jong these linea. Young people cculd
Den pool tneir issu;s aau go into a comline
tor home predic tion without any
iread o f a financial crisis. Woman's
iuffrace wculd no longer be a burning
juestion, and labor would receive its re:ompense.
Every woman would be a
Fillmauites lor all time and the next
:eneratiou ot yrung men would always
)e ready to go to Eariing-town.
I submit the above, hoping it may
neet with your approval. In conclusion
1 will say that I am not wedded to this
)lun, or anything else. You may accuse
ne of having "an axe to grind" by this
icheme, but you cannot convict me of
he charge till the new law puts me to
he test.
Wishing you a long career of success
ind usefulness, I am, ever, your ardeut
mpporter, "Krof."

emembered that while Treasurer Waler
of Charleston v?as in the city in atendance
upon the diocesan convention
le was instructed by Governor Tillman
,o bring a suit against Vincent Chicco
or perjury. This was to be done upon
he ground that Chicco was reported as
laving boasted that he sold liquor durng
dispensary days and on the strength
if that made an affidavit that he had
ibeyed the dispensary law and thereby
rot $50 license money from the county.
iVhen Governor Tillman read the news>aper
accounts of the trial, he got
vrothy and saul that the the time had
:ome for Trial Justice Milan's head to
^o into the waste basket, so the followng
little note went to Mr. Milan by the
ifternoon's mail:

THE CURRENCY FIGHT.
Mel,sarin Favors the Repeal of the Ten
Per Cent Tax.
Washington. June 1.?Committees
were called for reports and the House
recurred, in committee of the whole,
Richardson of Tennessee, in the chair
to the consideration of the bill to repeal
the 10 per cent. State bank tax
law.
iilack (Dem.) of Georgia had the floor
and presented his argument against the
constitutionality of the law. He spoke
an hour, attracting the close attention
of members. His peroration was an
eloquent recital of the leading part
taken by the South in the historj of
the government and of the nation and
a refutation of the assertion that the
repeal of the bill was desired alone by
* ^ DArmklinono a f fVwi sj^nth A 4" ifa
LUC ItC^UUllLaUO \JL LIuAV. KJUUVU ivg
close, he was warmly applauded and
received the congratulations of his
associates on the floor.
Walker (Kep.) of Massachusetts
spoke for two hours upon a general financial
plan embodied in a bill introduced
early in the session by himself.
He had no defense to make of the existing
financial system of the country.
What it needed was flexibility. The
object of his bill was to force into circulation
every dollar that could be advantageously
used. The present system
withheld from circulation 8600,000,000
or 8800,000,000 of currency.
That, he emphatically said, must stop.
McLaurin ot oonth Carolina addressed
the House on the bill. He told of
the direful results to the cotton market
during the financial stringency and
how "King Cotton" was saved from dethronement
only by the issue of clear
ing nouse connaeuce cerumcaies, wuica
passed current in South Carolina and
enabled the people to tide over the
crop moving period. But the promised
prosperity when the Sherman Act was
repealed had failed to materialize, he
said, and the crop moviDg period was
again upon them. What were they do?
If South Carolina had to pay a tax
upon her clearing house certificates he
saw no reason to exempt the great
clearing house association of New
York, lor while in the use made of the
South Carolina certificates there was a
wide difference, the legal principle was
the eame. He did not believe as some
did that State banks would cure all our
financial woes, but the repeal of this
tax was a step toward a radical change
in our financial system, a step toward
decentralizing the enormous and dangerous
powers now vested in the national
banking system.
There were, said McLaurin, but two
avenues through which the currency
could now be Increased, to wit:
1. The coinage of gold, and
2. Additional national back notes.
Every other channel had been closed.
He believed we needed a currency
which had both local and national
characteristics. The old State banks
were not in touch with the spirit
of the age. Every section of the
TT??? ?* r* r. /* A*\ /\ti AH wftAn/kn

to raise and market its crop, and it
was the duty of the government to provide
the machinery to do this. The
United States might issue enough
Treasury notes to be divided arnoDg
the various States in proportion to population,
the States depositing with the
government their bonds bearing asuflicient.amont
of interest to cover all expenses.
It would then be left to each
State to provide the method of distribution
for its quota of money and we
would have a currency to do local business
which would pass at par everywhere.
Wheeler of Alabama followed Mr.
McLaurin in aa argument favoring the
repeal of the law. It was, he declared,
a war measure, pure and simple, and
had no foundation other than the necessity
that was then supposed to exist
for the national government to control
the issue of circulating medium. He
hoped the House would yield to the
eloquent appeal of the gentleman from
Georgia and give the country an adequate
amount of money. When he
spoke of money he meant money with a
purchasing power. He characterized
the national banks as a great trust.
The presidents of the institutions in
Xew York city acted as one man. Before
Wheeler concluded, the committee
rose and, at 5 o'clock, the House adjourued
until to-morrow at noon.
A FIENDISH PLOT.
Ita Instigator Promptly Swang Up by
Jadge Lynch
Jacksonville, Fla., Hay 31.?A
special to the Times-Union from Palatka,
Fla., says: The people of this
section are very much excited over the
discussion of a diabolical conspiracy
among the negroes to commit a series
of outrages upon white women. The
particulars are that about eight weeks
ago, a negro preacher by the name of
I. T. Burgis came to the turpentine
stills in the neighborhood of Putnam
Hall and procured employment. After
becoming acquainted with the colored
employees he made damaging remarks
about the dauehter of a farmer liviLar
near by, and proposed to the negroes
that they should seize the girl and
several other white women and carry
them into the swamp and make them
submit to their embraces. It is understood
that several negroes agreed to
the plan and that preparations were
being made to carry it into effect.
Fortunately the white people got a
hint of the conspiracy and began to
make an investigation. They secured
evidence that such a conspiracy did exist
and they took steps to guard their
homes. In the meanwhile the negroes
learned that their diabolical plan was
known, and secretly they began to
leave the country. One of those to
leave was Burgis, who had suggested
the outrages upon the women. He fled
just in time to escape from a number
of white men who had gone to secure
him. It was learned that Burgis had
gone to Georgia, and the tather of the
young lady whom Burgis had so vilely
slandered swore out a warrant against
the negro. The Georgia authorities
were communicated with and Burgis
was arrested. A Florida oflicer left to
secure the negro Sunday. The officer
itjlutueu villi iuc ucgiu, auu, lcanug a
moo, stopped off at a lfftle station called
Xewburg, intending to secret the
prisoner at a friend's home near by.
The officer started to this friend's
house, but had Dot proceeded more
than half a mile when he was suddenly
confronted by between seventy-live and
a hundred mounted men. They covered
him with guns and rules aad demanded
the prisoner. Being overpowered
there wa3 no alternative but
to give him up, and next morning Burgis
was seen hangiDg from a limb two
miles from the place where he was
taken from deputy Lane. Burgis is
described a3 being about 45 years of
age, 6 feet tall and weighing about lbO
pounds. He confessed to Mr. Lane
that the report he circulated about the
farmer's daughter was untrue, but
that he made the remark about her to
interest the negroes in his damnable
undertaking. The white people are
wild with rage, and it is believed that
more lynchings will speedily follow.
A Fatal Wreck.
Milwaukee, Jane 1.?A Marshheld,
Wis., dispatch says an accident
' result!Dg in the loss of eight lives and
the iDjury of 15 to 20 persons, more or
less seriously, occurred there at 4.15 a,
m. A train on the Wisconsin Central
railway went through an ODon switch
and was completely wrecked. The cars
afterward took fire and were consumed.
Four persons were taken from
the wreck dead and four others are

to be acted upon. Already, our pension
expenses exceed those of all the
nations of the earth: Where will it
end? What will the war between the
States finally cost us ? In 1861 the total
value of all the property ia the States
that seceded was 35,000,000,000. The
New Orleans Picayune suggests that in
view of the enormous expense of the
war it would have been more economical
if the North and South had settled
their differences on a cash basis. It
would have saved billions of dollars and
hundreds of thousands of lives if the
North had secured the emancipation of
the slaves by paying full price for entire
4,000,000 of them. When we get *
through paying for it history will record
the fact that our civil war was
the most expensive conflict in ancient
or modern times.
