The death of General Tcherevin is an event of some importance, inasmuch as if i?a PY7v?rtpd to lead to the discontinu w " -ance of the special institution which the late general represented, and which, in fact, he may be said to have created ?the special guard, composed of a variety of persons known and unknown, including the police of the imperial residence, for the protection of the person of the czar. At least it is rumored that the late general is not likley to have a successor in exactly the same position under the present young czar, and indeed the condition of affairs now is so different from that which led to the creation of this extraordinary position in the early years of the last reign that in all probability its continuance in its present form will be considered unnecessary. Its present machinery may 3imply be incorporated with the other departments of the ministry of the household, if not at once, perhaps after the coronation. In any case some change in this respect is being discussed. . The high favor in which General Tcherevin was held by the imperial family was shown by the presence of the czar and his imperial mother at the bedside when the general breathed his last. The removal of the body to the church of the regiment of horse guards was also attended by most of the emperor's uncles and cousins, and the dowager empress was present at prayers in the mortuary chamber before the coffin was carried by troopers of the horse guards, followed by the dignitaries of the court and government and members of the imperial family. Tho body will be taken by rail on Saturday to the late general's estate in the province of Kostroma. General Tcherevin distinguished himself in the Polish campaign cf 1868 and the Turkish war of 1877. During the latter he was head of the csar's Cossack bodyguard, which he commanded for aine years. From 1878 to 1880 he was assistant chief of gendarmes and head of the third section of his majesty's cabilet, otherwise the secret political police. Subsequently he became assistant minis:er of the interior. While he was in con- ( rol of the secret police an attempt was nade upon his life by a nihilist, whom ;he general horsewhipped on the spot, ifter disarming him of a revolver. Alex- , mder IH attached the general to his >erson and gave him immense authority 1 n all that concerned his majesty's safe- ; y. He was therefore the constant comjanion of the late czar, and, although le was very fond of good cheer, hi3 keen ' ntellect was ever on the alert to serve | he best interests of his sovereign. ?Lonlon Times. A Touch of Nature. ' An American clergyman, whose dream i t had been to visit England, crossed the >cean at last for his ten weeks' vacaion. For a fortnight he enjoyed going i ibout alone from place to place, seeing , he sights, but he soon became lonely aid then homesick. One Saturday morn- 1 ng he started out for a long walk, havng no plan for the morning's recreaion. He penetrated far into the wide 1 caches of the cast end. There were ] rowds of men, women and children j rherever he went, but not a face that te had evfcr seen before or would ever i ee again. Turning from the busier t treets he found a narrow lane and sat [own on the stone step of a dreary teneuent house. t While he was sitting there he heard j , child's sobbing voico from the open iallway behind-him. Loc&ag ascaad ' lc saw a little urchin crying as though ( lis heart would break. "What is the . natter, my little fellow?" asked the lergyman in his gentlest tone. "Home- i ick, sir," said the child. "Since moth- , r died I have had no home. I don't eem to belong to anybody. I want some me to talk to." "Well, lad, there are wo of us. I am very lonely too." "But . laven't you a home anywhere?" "Yes, >ut it is a long way off, across the sea." I 'Why don't you go back to it? If I only i lad a home, I would never leave it" The lonely minister, who had found 1 lis vacation in the awful solitude of 1 jondon unutterably depressing, did not lave an answer ready. But his heart vent out to the homeless little waif. < I? took the child out of the empty i louse, obtained decent clothes for him at i charitable institution, paid board for < lim at a lodging house, and finally car- j led him to America at the end of the ( vacation.?Sail Francisco Argonaut. < Discovery of a Dreadful Plot. Some excitement has been caused in hurch circles by the discovery of a seTet society at Cambridge whose object ( s to convert the undergrads to extreme ligh church views. The society calls 1 tself the Companions of St. John, and < t is said that the members have to take j in oath not to disclose the fact of memlership to any one. One of the religious >apers has ferreted the matter out and j eems to be greatly perturbed at its discovery.

The convention convened, adopted a platform, elected delegates to Chicago, endorsed Tillman for president, squelched Irby and took a recess to September 1. The convention met in Columbia Wednesday and was called to order by Senator Irby. Mr. I. H. McCalla, of Abbeville, was elected temporary chairman, and the permanent organization was presided over by Mr. A. H. Patterson, of Barnwell, with Messrs. M. S. Scruggs, of Greenville and S. W. Vance, of Laurens, as secretaries. Upon motion of Senator Tillman, a committee of one member from each county, selected by the various delegationB, was appointed on platform. Senator Tillman was elected as chairman of the committee. C. M. Efird i represented Lexington on this committee. Another committee, consisting of one member from each county, was appointed to examine and pass on ^ amendments to the constitution of the party. J. W. Dreher was ap pointed on this committee. After the appointment of the committees, Senator Irby introduced the following, which was referred: By Senator Irby: Whereas, neither white supremacy in South Carolina, nor constitutional government in the United States can be maintained without the preservation of the supremacy of the Democratic party, and whereas the supremacy of the Democratic party cannot be maintained without holding the will of the majority as absolutely inviolable, therefore, be it Resolved by the Democratic party of South Carolina in convention assembled, That it is the duty of each and every member of the party, national as well as State and connty, to acquiesce in the will of the majority, when expressed by constitutional methods, to abide by and support its action. Quite a number of other resolutions were offered, but with the exfi cention of one introduced bv John W. Lyles, of Fairfield, and calling upon Senator Tillman to become a candidate for the presidency and go forth and battle for the people, they were not especially important. The morning session was consumed in various routine matters, and at 8 o'clock Senator Tillman read the report of the committee on platform as follows: 1. The Democratic party of South Carolina reaffirms its allegiance to the principles enunciated by Jefferson, Monroe and Jackson and followed ^ by their successors iu office, and 8 pledges itself to stand by those ^ principles as the creed of our political faith. 8 2. We denounce the administration <] of President Cleveland as undemo- * cratic and tyrannical end as a de- * parture from those principles which are cherished by all liberty loving Americans. The veto power has ^ been used to subsidize the press, to * debauch congress and to overawe ^ and control citizenR in the free exg ercise of their constitutional rights as voters. A plutocratic despotism is thus sought to be established on ^ the ruins of the republic. We * repudiate the construction placed on the financial plank of the last Demo- j cratic national convention by Presi- Q dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle as contrary to the plain meaning of English words and as being an act of bad faith deserving of sev erest censure. The issue of bonds in times of peace with which to buy ^ gold to redeem coin obligations payoKl a in oiluor rvr nnld of +Via nntinn of the government and the use of ^ the proceeds to defray the ordinary expenses of the government are both unlawful and usurpations of author- ^ ity deserving impeachment. 3. We believe the power and usurpations of the Federal courts as now organized to be dangerous to the republic. The American people have ^ lost confidence in life tenure of j officers in any department of govern- x ment, and we here repeat the warning of Jefferson against the tendency ( AUU CJllCUb KJl liiC WUObltUliVU Ui IliC w c Federal judiciary, which he styles Q "an irresponsible body working like ^ gravity by night and day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, ^ and advancing its noiseless steps like a thief over the field of jurisdic- v tion until all shall be usurped from y. the States and the government of r ali be consolidated in one.'' The j sudden reversal of the decision in j the income tax cases has never been satisfactorily explained to the American people and the court has lost a the respect and cenfidence of the ^ people as a natural result.

We demand a more economical administration of our national affairs and that taxes shall be levied so as to bear equally on all sections and all classes.
