e is only a black messenger who
omes to tell us it is time to move; to
11 us to get out of this hut and go up
ito the palace. The Christian owns
I beaven. "All are yours." Its pala.
-s of beauty, its towers of strength. I
s castles of love. He will not walk
the eternal city as a foreigner in a
range city, but as a farmer walks
er his own premises.
"All are yours." All the mansions a
urs. Angels your companions. Trees
life your shade. Hills of glory your C
okout. Thrones of heaven the place t
here you will shout the triumph. i
esus is yours. God is yours. You
)ok up into tho taco of God and say,
LNy father." You look up into the I
ice of Jesus and say, "My brother."
Valk out on the battlements of heav
n and look ofT upon the city of the
ni. No tears. No sorrow. No death. 1
to smoke of tolling warehouse curling
n the air. No voice of blasphemy
brilling through that bright,clear Sab
iath morning. No din of strife jarring
he air. Then take out your deed. and
emember that from throne to throne,
mid from wall to wall, and from hori
.i): to horizon, "All are yours."
Then get up into the temple of the
mn worshipers in white, each with a
alm branch, and from high gallery of
.hat temple look down upon the thous
tnds of thousands, and the ten thousand
Limes ten thousand, and the one hun
.ired and forty and four thousand, and
the great "multitude that no man can
nuiiber," and louder than the rush of
the wheels, louder than the tramp of
the redeemed, hear a voice saying, "All
are yours!" See the great procession
marching around the throne of God.
Martyrs who went up on wings of
Il:mne. Invalids who went up from
couches of (listress. l'oilers who went
iii) from the workhouse and the factory
,fnd the mine. All the suiffering and
the bruised children of God. See the
clUiots of SAlvation; in them those.
who were iore than conqierors. See
theim marching around about the
throne of G(d forever and forever, and
know t1it "all are yours."
0 ye who lia%ve pains of body that ex
ba1st your strengi and wear out your
1at ivie, I hold before you this morn
inz (lie lanl of eternal health and of
imperishable beauty and "all is yours!"
0 ye who have hard work to get your
daily bread, hard work to shelter your
children Froni the storm, I lift before
you the vision of that land where they
never hunger, ana they never thirst,
and God feeds then, and robes cover
Ihtrm, and the warimth of eternal love
ilis them. and all that is yours!
0 ye whose hearts are buried in the
ineLVC of your dead--0 ye whose happi
ios went, y long ago -( 0ye who mourn
or comiteniiee.s that never will light
ip and for vyvs closed forever--sit no
ointer among the tornbs, but look here!
A\ home that shall never be broken up.
reen fi'lds never cleft of the grave.
Nansomed one from yot parted long
ig,) now radiant with joy that shall
mever cease, and a love that simall nover
row cold, and wearing garments that
Oitl never wither, and know all that
is yours. Yours the love. Yours the
welaiim. Yours the transport. Yours
Ie cry (if the four and twenty eiders.
Yours the choiring of cherubim. Yours
Lhe lamb that was slain.
In the vision of that glorious con
iimiation I almost lose my foothold,
ind have t.o hold fast lest I be over
borne by i hi' glory. The vision rose be
fore St. John on 'atmos, and he saw
Uhrist in a blood red garment, riding
on a white horse, and all hieaven follow
ing himn on white horses. What a pro
cession' L4et J1esus ride, iIe walked
the way footsore, weary and faint. Now
let him ride. White horse of v'ictory,
ticar on our chief! I losannta to the son
iof I )vidl(! IRide on), Jesus! Let all

threast, cavalcade after cavalcade. No
alood dashed to the lips. No blood
truppinig from the fetlocks. No smoke

a Letter in Reply to One PublInhed Last
Week.
COLUMBIA, S. C., July 18th, 1892.
Ion. John L. M. Irby, Chairman State
Democratic Committee of South Caro
lina, Washington, D. C.
Sin-1 read in a newspa per on Satur -
ay. and have since received your letter
f l3th inst., in reply to my communica
ion of 4th inst., i.% which I requested,
a behalf of the Cohservative Demo
racy, that the State Democratic Com
nittel take into consideration, and ex
licitly declare, what is to be done at
.he August primary in regard to Third
party men w ho ol'er to vote, and whether
3urollment in a Democratic club Is
uccessary to entitle one to vote. I'stated
that you had bvcn reported in the press,
in favor of allowing' Third party men to
vote, and in favor of allowing Demo
crats not enrollLd to vote; and that your
published views had evoked ditcussion,
and that opinicus differed as to their
correctness; addiu that it was necessary
to a fair election that all doubts should
be set at rest on these important points
by the State Democratic committee at
jts next meeting, when we desire to sub
mit our views, as the representatives of
our wing of the Democracy of the State.
In 3our reply you state that you
"know of no- Third party in South Caro.
lina," and that you "therefore conclude
that any whiLe man, know to be a Demo
crat, who takes the obligation at the
time he votes at, the primary election,
will, and ought to, be permitted to vote,
whether he has hithertofavored a Third
party, or has been an Independeni Has
kellite, or now favors Protibition, Wo
man's Suffrage, or otherwise. You add
that the State Democratic Committee
will meet Tuesday, the 2Gth inst., to
consider this and other questions.
The obligation taken by toe voter
(oes not settle the question, 'for it. is
prescribedi by the rules of the party in
the following from: "I d-> solemnly
swear that I am dily qualified to vote
at this election occordiu_ to the Itules of
the Democratic party, and that, I have
not voted before at this election.''
I am surprised to learn that you
"know of no Tnlird party in S uth Caro
lina,'' in view of your predictions at
Chicago that Cleveland would not carry
South Carolina; and the only log!ical
conclusion from your-utterances. s that
you expect, the Republicans to carry
South Carolina for Harrison. This can
not happen, ualess white men desert
the Democratic party for the Third party
or for the Republican party. Should
such mnen be allowed recounition as
Democrats, and participate in the prl
mery to elect delegate's to the Septiber
convention, which is to nominate the
Democratic elector-!
I do not wish to be m.isunderstood
here. The doors of the Democratic
party-the party of the people-are ever
open for accessions from the people of
those who may have been connected
with othe varties; but they should ren
der full allegiance to its platform and its
candidates. A supporter of Weaver,
the ol( Greenback patty's candidate for
[President, and now the Third party's
candidate, on substantiaily the old
Greenback platform, canmot be a Demo
crat at tile samne time; and( it not a
Democrat, should not part,icipate in our
primaries.
As to the matter of enrollment, the
State Democrat,ic cons tituion declares
that "the club rolls or the party shall
constitu.e the registry liet, and shall be0
op)en to insp)cCtionl by any membei of
the part,y, andI the election undler this
clause (i. e. the August, p)rimary) shall
be held an;d regulated under the act,''
etc. Th'le rules adopted by t,be State
committee contains the exp)ressions,
"Qualificat,ion for memb( rshiip ini any
subordinate club of t,he D)emocratic par
ty of this State, or for voting at, any
Democratic 1)rimnary, shall be as fot
Iowa:'' etc.. and enrollment is mot men
tioned as one of the qualifications. You
are no dubt aware t,hat these clauses ara
constructed differentl y in different coun
ties, and( this is a suflicient reason for a
more explicit (declaration from the State
commIttee.
You also state that the "question of
app)ointing miore than three managers to'
conduct the primanry election'" will also
1)e considered at the meeting of the
State Democratic Committee, andl Ihave
nlo dloubt that it, will be consideredl in
that fair and impartial spirit.. which be
longs app)rop)riately to the body, which
is the executive organ of the ent,Ire
Democracy of t.he State, and not of any
particular wlir or faction..
In the cenclusion of 'jour letter, you
have miade-p)ermlit me to state-an
llogical disatinct,ion. You consider tbat
anly D)emocrate who are aggrieved, or
who repiresent a grievence, shoufld have
Audience of'thie State Democratic Comn
nit,tee. You also assert, that the Stat,e
D)emocratic Committee is competent to
,xercise its delicate and imp)artant func
ions "without interference or sugges
ion from anyv one;'' andl add, ''We are
iot, disposed to convert, the State Demn
:ratic Executive Committee into a (de
at,ing societ,y for' (pestionls of iminary
frievances.''
Th~lis p)retenson of (xluisivenjess and
iflilibil lity would ordinaily be remark
Lilo as thme utteralnce of ai ])e nocr.at;
ut, this is a "record-.breakin.''' time. I

mittee, to Hon. Samuel Dibble in reply
to questions which have already been
given publication:
Hon. Samuel Dibble, Chairman, &c.,
Orangeburg, 8. C.
DEAlt Sit: While in Columbia a
few days ago I received your commun
ication at the hands of Mr. Watson, of
date .July 4th, 1892. Sickness and bus
iness have prevented a reply until now.
I beg to say that I know of no third
party in South Carolina, notwithstand
Ing a great deal has been said about
one. 1. therefore, conclude that any
white man known to be a Democrat
who takes the obligation at the time he'
votes at the primary election, will and
ought to be permitted to vote whether
he has hitherto favored a third party,
or has been an Independent Haskellite,
or now favors Prohibition, Woman's
Suffrage or otherwise. The State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee will meet
TueElay, the 26 h inst., at 8 p. m., at
Columbia, at which time this and other
questions will be considered by it and
especially the question of appointing
more than three managers to conduct
the primary election. I cannot say
what the Executive Committee will do
but for myself I respectfully say that if
you, as the representative of any Dem
ocrat or Democrats, who have griev
ances, ask a hearing, it will be granted;
but. I cannot, and I feel satisfied the
Committee will not, feel disposed to
hear you or.any other person in South
Carolina discuss propositions in which
you are not directly akgrieved. The
Democratic Executive Committee feel
satislied that it is competent to carry
out the orders of the State Democratic
Convention and the mandates of the

Colored Po,ulation.
WASHIN(;TON, July 1.---Th3 consus
oflice today issued a bulletin on the sub.
ject of the colored population of the
United States in 1890. The bulletin
shows that the total colored population,
as returned tinder the census of 1890, is
7,638,360. Of this number 7,470,040 are
persons of African descent, 107,475 are
Chinese, 2,039 are Japanese and 58,806
ate civilized Indians. Considering per
sons of African descent. it is seen that
there has been an increase during the
decade from 1880 to 1890 of 889,247, or
13.51 per cent. as against an incre'tse
(lurin the decade from 1870 to 1880 of
1,700.784, or 34.85 per cent. The bulle
tin says:
The abnormal Increase of the colored
population of the south during the de
cale ending in 1880, led to the popular
belief that the negroes were increasing
at a much greater rate than the white
population. The present census has
shown, however, that the high rate of
increase in the colored population as
showni by the census of 1880, was alp
parent only and was due to the imper
feet enumeration of 1870 in the south
ern states.
There has been an increase in the
number of Chinese in the United States
during the decade from 1880 to 1890 of
only 2,010, or 1,91 per cent., the number
returned in 1880 being 105,465 arid the
number returned In 1890 being 107,475.
The Chinese increased 66 88 per cent
from 1870 to 1880, and 80 91 per cent
from 1860 to 1870.
In 1880 the .Japanese in the United
states numbered only 148, while in 1890
they numbered 2,039. In 1870 there
were only 55i Jaipanese returned under
that census.
The civilized Indians have decreased
during the past ten years 7,001, or 11.45
per cent, the number returned in 1880
being 66,07, as against 58,800; returned
in 1890.
Situation at Hfomestead.
IIOMESTEAD, Pa., July 1 4.-.The
borough of Homestead was placed under
mart.ial law this morning. This is the
outcome of the unwarranted arrest of
strangers yesterday. The Homestead
locked out men are not e,ntirely pleased
over the threatened strike to day at the
union iron works in ilttsburg. It is the
general opinion among the 1IIomestead
men that more assistance can be given
t,hem if the men remain at work than by
coming out. There are to-day ht uin
usual number ei men ini the steel works,
but whether they are non-union work
meni or not it has not b)een . learned.
The strikers are conivincedh that by nIght.
fall men will be put to work in t,he mill
under protection of thme military. They
are watchhing all Pittsburg, JBraddock
andh Homestead stations closely. A bout
ten nmen got off at the Baltimore and
Ohio Station across the river this morn
ing and announcedl that they wveregoit
to apply for work, They were p)ersuad

as ejecting a continuous st.ream of lava
ieveral yards deep and very wide. This
