A GREAT SPEECIh.
[CONTINUED FROM PAOE ONE]
Rusted with the'trend of politicl effars,
for he was a friend of the South, this
man retired fromn public life and devoted
himself to other pursuits aud good workA
as have made his name a household

So that, wheu Georve Peatody, the
celebrated philanthropist who has done
so much for education in the South, died
this gentleman was app inted chairman
of the Board of Trustees to carry out
his will. This was more than twenty
five years ago and you can readily see
tnat he must be very old. At his home)
in Poston he is calmly awaiting the call
of the Master. It was our purpose, and
we uaed every effort to have him grace
thi6 occasion with his presence, but hi
physical candition did not permit. Ii
response, however, to our urgent mvita

read:

Somebody long ago said "knowledge Is
power." In those latter days we have
also come to learn -that knowledge Is
money Inde pendence. And knowledge
coupled with skill, backed by industry,
will insure any woman, however fra
glie, absolute exemption from want
arid poverty Every father, who thinks
aright, would have his daughter, if
thrown on her own resources, able to
earn her own support. The effects of
slavery upon our habits and customs
are still plainly visible however. We
are disinclined as a people to have our
women leave home to seek their for
tunes or enter Into industrial life. The
conscquence is that, with the system of
education which has hitherto prevail
ed, prbpAring women soltly to a:-lorn
the drawing room imd society, our wo
men have been altogether helpless and
ourlsystem of education has been a
fatal blunder.
How many thousands of our women,

RIIromd Rumors.
The News and Courier, of last Thurs
day, says it has been a good many years
since anything like the activity which
11a1 prevailed recently has been mnan
t ested in Charleston railroad affairs.
T'he interest in the recent; sale of the
South Carolina Rtaiiway and the more
recent formation of the South Carolina
andl~ Georgia RWiilroad Company has, of
course, been universal and very absorb
ing. In the flurry which hams attended
these events sight has been pratially
lost of some other iItters which are
of great importance to Charleston. Rle
cently there'has been a good deal of
talk about one company or another be
ing organized to build a road between
'Charle-ston and 'Augusta. The first
rumor of this effect originated in
Augusta. A dispath 'fromn that city,
which was published some time ago ini
Thie Newsa and Courier, stated that tihe
Louisville and Nashville systems had
some idea of purchasing the Port Roy
ali and Augusta Road, and of building
a line from Fairfax to this city. For
a while this scheme was pretty exten
sively discussed, and created con
considerable comment in more
than one section of the coun
try. Interest in such a project is
no0w very vividly revived by certain
statements which Were made yesterday
The facts given came from reliable
sources and are worth consideration.
A gentleman wvho did not want his
name given, but who said his informna
ibm wvas thoroughly reliable, said to a
lHyuportedl: "Were you aware that at
th is very moment the Atlantic Coast
Line system is engaged in making
prelimintary surveys t or a line Cf road
bet ween this city and Augusta? It is
ai fact, and y ou will be perfectly safe
in making thle statement~ As I under
standl ihe matter the Cost Line people
have been thinking about this project
f r somn. time past. T'hetr idea is to
build1( a roatd from' Ashley Junction in
as s:raight a line as is practicable to
Augtisto, and they now have out a
party of enginieers making a survey for
such a route. The Coast Line never has
much to) say about i's own buliness;
bu'tvwheni it makes up its mind to do a
thing it, irenerally loses very little time
in rioing it. It i8a powerful system,with
prac~ticahy unlimited means at its com
mand, antd it can very easily build this
niew- road it iii hae mind to." Anot
her gentleman whio knew the facts
which are stauted above said: "My idea
about it, ic that the Cost Line Is very
anxious to got into Augusta. That
system'u has bien restive ever since it
was shut oult of participation in a
very' rich Georgia tarfl6 by the loss of
theu Charlotte, Colutm bia and Augusta
lioad. Tihe management hats never
ceased to cast aroundl for some means
of rAecpturing the territory thtus lost.
I have been informed that the surveys
for tihe Chiarjeston and Augusta road
are actually heing made at the present
time, and as I take it there is something
more than mere talk in tihe scheme.
The Coast Line is al ways oni tihe alert,
It is always reaching out in one direc

that the D~enmairk Road is being corn

GOV; TILLMAN'S LETTER.
What the Daily Papeu. Think of alio
Posaition..
We append below the comments of
the daily papers in South Carolina on
the Governor's letter to the Alliance:
WILL AROUSE DEEP TiIOUGIIT,
The Columbia Register, which, as all
know, is a Reform paper, says:
- Governor Tillman's letter td Chair.
man Mitchell contains matter of inter
est, calculated to arouse deep thought.
That letter is one of the most striking
'treatises on national politics which has
appeared in a long time; by it the pow
er of the Alliance and the part it ought
to play are most citarly set forth. An
unthinking reader of that letter might
come to the conclusio, that Governor
Tillman and the Alliance wore travel.
ing on different paths, but such a con
clusion would do violence to the whole
tenor of the letter. The difference be
tween the Governor and the Alliance
are more apparent than real; in aim
in hope, in purpose, they are one, and
they only differ as to how they shall
accomplish the same thiugs--an(I even
in this their variance is but slight
Governor Tillman tells a plain truth
when he says that Alliancemen are
largely to blame for the fact that Alli.
ance ideas are not completely -in the
ascendant throughout the South. The
fact that the Alliance in this State is
in much healthier condition than in
any other State is due to Tillman more
than any other man, and this fact is re
alized by the Alliancemen of other
States ats well-as of this State. While
smie Alliancemen may be inclined to
take exceptions to some parts of his
letter, they will acknowledge its wis
dow and its boldnesi. "A lird in the
hand is worth a doz-n in the bush," and
a man is more apt to get a bird in the
hand if he concentrates his efforts upon
the capture of one bird than if he tries
to catch a dozmn at once. This is home.
ly philosophy,but it Is the philosophy of
Governor Tillman's letter and will
bear testing. While the masses have
been trying to secure a dozen reforms
they have secured none, and have
never lost ground. Governor Tillman's
advice is that effort be concentrated
upon the task of securing the most im
portant and the most needed reforms
now; then when they have been
brought about, it will be time to fight
for other . and less needed reforms.
This is practical, hard, common sense.
If tried its. worth will be proven- be
yond the shadotr of a doubt. Governor
riliman has raised a star dard under
which Reformers 'throughout the
Union may array themselves and can
secure victory. The standard bears
this inscription: "Free silver, more
greenbacks and gold--all legal tender
and all receivable for any and all dues,
public and private."
That is a platform broad enough for
a party to stand upon. Success under
that standard will not be secured with -
out a struggle, but success can be se
cured under it. The above sentence
expresses the most crying need of the
country today. When that need is
done away with, the national reform
era can decide what next to fight for.
D)ON'T SUIT THE DEMOCRACY.
The Columbia State, Conservative,
Rays:
The Governor "readily and will
ingly promises" to vote on the lines he
has indicated "without regard to any
caucus." 'He justifies this by saying
that the Northeasto-n Democrats have
set us an example on that line which
will be a suficient excuse for all time."
"The Gold Bug Democrats," he adds,
"refused to caucus on the repeal of the
Sherman law last summer." Yes, and
they were bitterly denounced by thme
Governor's organs for doing so, and
called by them "Re~publicans" and
"traitors." No w the Governor proposes
to follow their example and do wvhat
lie heartily disapproved of their doing.
We take the liberty of reminding him
that just before this declaration he
wrote of a similar imitation, "It can
not be defended, because two wrongs
never made one right." We find no
where in the letter any referenice to
Democratic principles or the national
Democratic platform. The objections
he has to Governmentill loans to the
people and government ownership of
railroads and telegraphs are apparently
conceived without reference to the
principles or policies 6of Democracy.
One important question in the Alliance
catechism the G overnor passes over in
silence. THe does not say .whether he
will or will not bind himself to vote
against any and all persons who refuse
to pledge ,support to the Alliance de
mands. The persistent Mr. Mitchell
might find It advantageous to make a
supplementary inquiry on this point.
Incidentally the Governor says that
he did not in 1892 oppose the adoption
of the Ocala platform by the May con
vention-thoughi "unalteraoly opposed"
to at least one of its feature i-in order
to keep "hot-headed Alliancenten from
splitting off into a third party." ilhat
is to say, he subordinated principle to
policy, and consented to the ad~option
of the populist platform in order to
keep P'opulists in the control of thie
Democratic party machinery. Ocalites.
and Popuiists in other States made a
"fatal blunder"-in being honest and
going out of a party whose principles
they opposedi; they should have re
mained in the party and betrayed it.
"South C3arolinam sets her sisters a wise
example in 1892," andl "it 1s incumbent
on her to repeat it in 1894.'' "it is time
to be formulating tihe plarform and
marshalling the people for 18961. Tlhat.
is to say, this year the hypocrisy .of 1892
must be repeated, and the people drill
ed so as to go in 18961 into the Gover
nor's propnsed new ailver party when
he gives tihe word. This is the resul'
of our analysis. We are not able to
say whether the letter will suit the
Alliande, for it is not aj complete suir
render. But it certainliy will not suit
the Democracy.
AN AniJECT SURtRENDERI.
The News and Courier, Conservative,
says:
In his letter to the chairman of the
executive committee of the Fermers'
Alliance, Governor Tiliman explains
his position upon the "demands" of the
Alliance, it will be observed that he
dloes niot "stanti fairly and squarely"
upon the"denmands." Somne of them he
will advocate, others he does not favor,
but all of them, ho makes 'it very clear,
ho will swallow if such an act of (deglul
tition be found necessamy to the cap
ture of the entire Alliance vote of the
State in Governor 'Tillman's race for
the Senate. "11f they choose to retire
me to private life," says the Governor
"I will cheerfully abide their will;" but' t
he does not leave any 'room to doubt
that he will leave no stone unturned to
make his position thoroughly agreeable
to the Alliance voters .of the State.
There is one of the "demands" to which
he seems unalterably opposed, namely,
that the Government shall lend money'
to the farmers at a low rate of interest
but we fear that he would abandon
this entirely proper position upon com
pulsion or'persuasion, lie is not in a 1
position at this time to refuse any uin- 1
reasonable demand that may be made I
umpoki him, and- we think that ,.another<
etter from the Hion. Thomas P. Mitch
3l1 would bring him to the ground. Hie I
bold Mr. Mitchell in his letter of April'
18, "I am a candidate for Wnited States 1
Senator ar d if elected will vote
>n l all questions as my noin
dfcence and judgmentdictate."
told ' Mr. Mitcell - in his
ter of May 15 that "if elected Senat
he Will strive to abolish the natlo
banks,. to provide for the free coin
of silver at a ratio of 10 to 1 and to
crease the circulating medium t(
least 850 per capita.' These "dmotan
as the Governor says incorporate '
sub treasury idea ahd the lendins
money at a low rate of interest." .q
listen to the Governor', the same 1:
man who told Mr. Mitchell on Apri
that he would "vote on all questioni
my conscience and judgment dicta1
listen to what he tells Mr. Mitdhell
May 15: "1 also can advocate and Ii
for all the other 'demands' except t
I doubt the wisdom or practicabilit1
the government owning and rumni
all railroads, telegraph and teleph
lines." I will vote on all questioni
my conscience and judgment dictf
but I can advocate and voto foi' all
demands of the Alliance although
my conscience and judgment they u
be unwise and impracticable. Gov
nor Tillman's letters are remarks
for the information they contain of
complete and abject surrerider to
Alliance and his contempt of the I
tional Democracy. They do not esti
lish his courage, although they sh
how lightly he holds his allegiance
the Democratic part.y.
IIURRAHl FOR TILLMAN.
The Charesion 6un, Neutral, says
Hurrah for Governor Tillmanu 'I
bold stand taken by him against
Alliance's catechnical demands of c
didates 'establishes t'eyond quest,
his independence as a man and
worth as a leader, It is the most a
prising stroke in the career of this
markablo man. In his original i
swer to the Alliance catechism Gov
nor Tillinan wrote: 1 am a cat-didk
for United States Senator, and it ele
ed will vote on all quest ions us !
conscience and judgment dictate. I
as I shall not, if elected Senator, rep:
sent myself but the people, I would
all times obey the inst ructions of t
party in the State to which I belo
as set fortb in its platform. - lurr
for Tillman, the Democrat.
