KEOWEE COURIER, B. A. TUOMPSOjr. !>. A. BMITU, H. T. JAYMK8. BY THOMPSON, SMITH & JAYNES. THURSDAY, FEB. 0, 1890. Tho Farmers' Cou von! Ion. It bohoovcH the farmers to adopt a wiso and conservative eourse of action when they meet in their pro posed State Convention, in obedi ence to tho call of Chairman Shell. Certainly there should be no nomi nation of a State ticket which they would attompt to force through tho Democratic Stato Convention. There should be no organization of a party within the Democratic party in this matter. Let tho farmers map out a plan of campaign, specify thc reforms which they need, and then go into tho Democratic State Con vention to participate as all other Democrats in the nomination of Stato officers and the adoption of a platform. The comments of the Cotton Optant, thc official organ of tho Farmers' Alliance in the State, are so timely and wisc, that wc give them to our readers. Our cotemporary says : "Thc light waged is emphatically ?bold, open and manly,' and while to settle all issues inside of party lines is unquestionably wise, we are impelled, from motives inspired by ai sincere desire for the real and per manent advancement of the agricul tural interests of thc State, to enter our demurrer to the plan proposed. We do not believe it to bc a wise piail, for several reasons. "In the first place, the position of those who have uttered the address, and those who endorse it, is incon sistent and illogical. The address is made "To thc Democracy of South Carolina," and yet by the plan pro posed n very huge, and,'in many instances friendly,- proportion of the DoihOjftfatR of thc State arc to be oxot tided from any participation or /?'voice in the selection of nominees for State officers. Il would bo at host the nomination of a State ticket by the members of thc Farmers' Association, independently of tho rights of all other Democrats, how ever friendly they may bo to thc measures of reform the farmers pro poso. Thus, tho nomination of a ticket in this manner would bc by Democrats, to tho exclusion of mem bers of other political parties, but such a proceeding would not bc, in the proper sense, 'inside thc Demo cratic. party.1 Thc 1 lemocratic party has a constitution which pre scribes tho manner ami process of selecting its candidates, and when it is proposed that only tho fanner clement of it shall constitute thc party in reality, and shall dictate to all Othor elements how they shall cast their voles, there arc many good Democrats in every community who will very naturally and pro perly feel that they arc to bo de prived of ri very sacred right-tho right of voling as they please as Democrats, tho right of ri voice in tho selection of thc nominees of tho party. "There is only one way for thc fanners to carry their measures 'in side tlio Democratic party,' mid that is to submit them fairly and squarely to tho Democratic clubs, ami to appeal to them as fellow-Democrats and patriotic, fair-minded, liberty loving men, to vote, in their clubs, in the selection of delegates to tho party convention, and in thc prima ries for men who can bc depended on to execute thc will of thc Demo cratic majority. Any other method of management will be, in a practi cal sense, going outside the party lines lo decide upon men and meas ures, and excluding all who arc not members of tho organization so act ing. If wc have a majority of thc Democratic votes wc can out vote all opposition, Olid carry whatever mensures wo decide upon. If the majority bc against us, then wc must bide our time or bo denied out fights 'inside the Democratic party.' Thc fanners ol' thc State, wc arc sure, do not expect thc reforms they demand from any other source; and if they aro in dead cai nest (and if they arc not wc arc badly fooled for once,) they will get their rights, inside tho parly in thc regular way, with peace and harmony, and with honorable and binding submission on tho part of (hose who oppose them, OS thc fanners themselves have so long and honorably submitted to a denial of thom, "Wc respectfully submit, that tho reason the fanners of thc Slate have not long ago gotten all they want ami all they have a right to at the hands of a bettor State government Under Democratic control, lies in thc fact that they have liol gone about it in a determined, practical way, by uniting upon and putting thc right men in office. In thc simplicity of their honesty and confidence they have depended too much upon care lessly preparing petitions and resolu tions expressing 'thc sense of the mooting without oven following these up with well-directed, button hole work. They ure beginning now to realizo that tho ballot is the eom binod lover and fulorum for tho ox oroi80 of thoir power. They are hotter organized to-day than they have ever been in tho history of tho State sinco occasion arose for such organization, and when the proper time comes they will without ostentation begin tho ballot snow drift that will so purify the political atmosphere that their rights will be at onco assured. Tho opposition to fair and honest rulo will be snowed under. And it will be done inside party lines, regularly und fairly and wisely, and without injustice to any body or anything. The party and its plans and politics will bc purified without harshness, or vindictiveness, or personal warfare, the unwisdom of which is recognized by all right thinking mon. "The address of Chairman Shell, so far as it relates to measures of reform, is a very thoughtful and well prepared paper, but in temper, lan guage and spirit, it is illiberal and unwisely uttered. This feature of it was doubtless intended for effect in arousing the fanners from sup posed lethargy. Wc do not think it either wiso or necessary, however. The farmers arc already aroused but dispassionately. They are senti mental enough, but their sentiments mean business rather than bad blood and sectional estrangement. Their pu. t?oses are not to be destroyed in madness. They are cool in the cul tivation of wisdom, und they will vote right when thc time comes. "Important concessions have been made to the demands of thc farmers of the State within the past few years. Their plans havo been op posed and thwarted in several in stances, but step by stop thc farmers arc gaining ground. From every light they morge with at least a par tial victory. All they eau demand within the bounds ol reason is within their reach inside the Democratic party, strictly, with its present machinery in operation. Lot tho fanners calmly and coolly decide upon the reforms they desire, and if they do not carry them through it will bo because they are not united. And until unity prevails nothing will be accomplished by this means or that. They arc in the majority- and the causo of the fanners has thou sands of friends among those who aro not farmers. By reason of their superior voting strength they aro or can bc masters of thc situation. Under a wisc policy, covering wise amt just demands, and under a determined yet wise ami conservative leadership, their power will bo exer cised for the adjustment of all mal ters of State government upon a basis fair and just to all interests. Rash and inflammatory declarations will neither unite thc fanners nor gain them friends. "There eau bc no valid objection to a convention of thc fanners of thc State under the call issued by tho Executive Committee of the Farmers' Association, lt is well for them to meet, even oftener than they do, and discuss and decide upon measures of relief and reform. In deed, there ought to bc a very full convention in response to that call, and when assembled il will show its wisdom. "1*. Hy deciding al once not ?to nominate a State ticket. "2d. Hy adopting a wisc, just and statesmanlike platform and plan of campaign in the Democratic pri maries. "3d. Hy eliminating ami refrain ing from sectional and purely per sonal issues. 'First to thine own self bc I ru",' ito., nnd as linn as Julius Ciesar in tin- demand of your rights, and all will be well. "In thc Democratic primaries is the place to secure thc rights of thc farmers, ami to settle all disputes and issues 'inside the Democratic party.' A victory won in thc pri maries will not bc open to technical objection or cavil, and hence it will be peaceful and of lasting good." True Inwardness of Speaker Reed's Kiding. I.asl Wednesday in thc lower House of Congress, a lively parlia mentary discussion was engendered by tho attempt of thc Republicans to call up a contested election case from West Virginia. Thc Clerk, on thc roll call, announced that only ono hundred and sixty-three mem bers had voted, which was two short of a quorum for the transaction of business. Thc Democrats, though present in person, refused to vote, and under tin* rules and precedents which have been in force ever since tlio foundation of thc government, they could thus have pro vented thc (tailing up of thc election case. Speaker Recd, however, was equal to thc emergency, and as bc saw more than one hundred and sixty-throe Congressmen in their scats, he quietly announced that a quorum was present. Thc Demo crats, of course, protested in thc most vigorous terms, against this unwarranted assumption of authority on thc |?art of thc presiding ofllooi'. Hui (<mighl makes right m politics, and Speaker Rood triumphed. Tin Charleston News and Courier give. in a nutshell the true inwardness of Heed's ruling. It says : '.'Tho principio that a majority of the members of tho House ought to be ablo to control its business under proper nnd well established restrictions-is one that commends itself to the approval of every intel ligent man, and the Republicans in the House are appealing to that principle to justify them in their pr?vint contest with tho minority. Tho appeal is weakonod, however, by a single fact which the majority are careful to keep in tho background in the discussion in which they are engaged, that fact being tliat the majority recognize no proper and established restrictions for tlie con trol of their conduct. "The llouso is governed by no rules except those of its own making at each session. The will of the majority is its only law, so long as it keeps within the broad limitations of tho Constitution, and it judges for itself what those limitations are. Under these conditions, thc minority can have no mensuro of protection against the tyranny of the majority except tho rules adopted at each session and thc precedents estab lished by former Houses. "The position of the two parties in tho prcsont House will be clearly understood when it is borne in mind that, although Congress has been in session for two months, the majority have refused to adopt a code of rules, or to recognize precedents which have been in force for many years, including those established by their own party, and uro endeavoring to control the business of the body temporarily by tho application of tho principles of 'general parlia mentary law'-as construed at every step by a thoroughly partisan and unscrupulous Speaker. "The motive for this extraordinary course of conduct is well known. Thc Republicans have a very small majority in thc House, and their first object is lo increase their strength by unseating some of the members of the minority, who Judd contested seats, and replacing thom by Repub licans, without regard to the evi dence in tho contested cases. They would adopt rules that would give the Speaker power to accomplish this object, but such rules would go on record to plague their in ventors afterward. Thay have every reason to believe that they will be in the minority in the next Congress, and they do not wish to establish rules, or formal pre cedents, that could then be applied against themselves. They prefer, therefore to net without definite rules until they have accomplished this purpose ami then to make such rules as will not embarrass them when they arc in the minority again. "Thc real question that is now al issue in thc House, it is seen, there fore, is not whether tile majority shall control thc business of the House, but whether they shall ex ercise such control in a fair and or derly way or according to thc whim of tin Speaker in the absence of rules and in defiance of nil precedent. Dudor those orioumstanccs, tho mi nority arc right in contesting ??very inch of thc ground, and even if they aro defeated in the House it cnn scarcely bc questioned that t' ir op ponents will pay dearly for meir vic tory in 1 ho end. Salem Locals. February ?I, \XW.-Thc people have commenced farming operations for the new year in earnest. Mrs. A. li. (Jrant is still quito sick. Small grain looks well but short of stand.

Tho meeting was opened with prayor by Prof. Ackorman. Tho calling of the roll and t ho road mg of the minutes of tho last meeting wore dispensed with. The subject for discussion, "Is the giving of rewards beneficial," was opened by Prof. Ackerman. Ile favored the offering of rewards. Wo all need sonio stimulus to work; in fact, wo do nothing without an in centive. That stimulus is oither thc hope of reward or tho fear of pun ishment. A child needs more incen tive to study than an older person. Il a prisse is offered there is an incroased effort on the part of most of tin pupils,, which, perhaps, eeases at soon as a child realizes that ho will not get the prize. It would be bes! to keep the pupil in tho dark if pos sible as to who ranks fi rat. This it almost impossible, for children wil know or'suspect who will get tin prize or who ranks first. Mr. Smith related a bit of expo rionoo in which prizes had bool offered, find taken by pupils, who, i' was foreseoon from tho beginning would take them. Ile favored tin giving of rewards provided that tin prizes are attainable by any and al of the p?pils. Then Ibero could bl no charge of injustice, and no otu need be discouraged. Mr. Stokes Stribling favored tin giving of rewards and his experienci uphold him in bis belief that the offer ing of rewards is beneficial, Book should be offered in preference ti medals. Mr. S. P.

If thc Republican leaders woul all imitate Speaker Reed and boldl announce that they arc gang of reid' less rascals, determined to earr things their own way and promo! their own ends at any cost to th country, they would command moi respect of those who know tho] than they now do. Thc pretence t respectability, morality and sanctil with which they endeavor to c?\'< their wickedness makes them Cl Uroly despicable and adds conten?] to tho bate the honest and thiukill pcoplo fool toward them as the real motives and methods beeoin known. The latest discovery of thc him working of the party of high mon ideas is made in Brooklyn and conn from "Al." Doggett, thc Rep?blica boss of Kings county. Doggett wt backing a banker named Paid win f( Chairman of thc Republican G?ner Commit tee. Thc opposing cami dale, Franklin Woodruff, a wari houseman and representative ( "pure politics," as understood 1 Brooklyn Republicans, was backt by tho leedom] administratioi Doggett had so pulled the wires ( secure a clear majority of thc del gatos elected by Bahlwin. Thor upon Woodruff and his in a nagel with tho active help of S?cr?tai Tracy, proceeded to buy over Uah win delegates with Federal oilier Ten of these delegates who wei elected to vote for Baldwin ha' been appointed to places in varioi departments and voted and work? for Woodruff. Doggett confesses I hat he gave Ol man who controlled ten voles li notes-endorsed by Stato Senat Birkett-for $2,500, on conti ?th that ho would usc his influonco f Baldwin. Tho recipient of these f vors-a local Republican magnate then proceeded to sell out to Woo ruff, who stoic the notes from hi and endeavored to use thom frighten Doggett so that he wot withdraw Baldwin. Thc feature of thc affair wbi concerns tho public is that tho Fe c al administration, which proton to represent the intelligence a morality of the country, took acti part in tho peculiarly foul mess a a Cabinet ofllcor readily supplied thc appointments-theoretically i tended for thc public service-need to bribe men ?.0 break their . won betray their trusts and voto ngaii tim man they were chosen to vt for.- O nen ville ?Vcies.

The trading amounted to only 28,000 shares, against 78,000 tho day bofore, and thc Hiietuation8 wore confined within narrow limits. The prico after open ing a point higher, at 05, declined to 63g and closed at 04, with a good deal of quiet selling to realize the profits of the late advance. Boston having gorged itself, is now awaiting a market herc to unload on, but in this city, where some accurate knowledge ?B had of the hostility of thc courts and tho deter mination that in Now York State at least, the sugar monopoly shall be discontinued, there is no anxiety to take Boston's loan. The case for u receiver comos up bofore Judge Bar rett, February 1, and it is highly probable that a representativo of the courts will wind up the trust affairs. Whether the Ilavcincyers stay in or go out of the trust will not effect the action of Congress nor sway the judgment of the courts. It is an open secret that thc trust is now doing an unprofitable busi ness.
