Why Not I'kack??The Charleston Ku
think* the Columbia register is ivmiik i
supposing that I lie two wings of iho deux
craiio party will flop togother nn>l that thei
will never more be in this State two eouvei
tions of the same party.
There is no rentou why the Register
prediction should not be fulfilled. Th
faction of the patty tepneeiiKd by tl
Register began the system of two convei
tiens of the aamo party an t can end
whenever it chooses.
There is really no suoh thing as a cor.sci
alive faction of the democratic party ?
this State. There was such a faction, hu
it went out of eixstcnco the afternoon of th
general primary. Thero are in the Statu
number of democrats wiio have not npprov
ed Governor Tillinnn's methods or purposes
They bad the right to express and vote tliei
opinions. They did it and have finished.
If these men ere shut out of parly couu
oils as they have hitherto been?if thei
representatives in legislatures nnd couven
tions ara trented as aliens and enemies ntr
caucnasrd nga<n?l?if every man of thcr
Who holda an allien is In tin mvl mil nminl
because of his poli'ics, ns if opposition I
Tillman iuside the parly ami under part
rules was a crime?(hoy will have no clioit
but to stand together. Tliry will l?e force
together us n separate body of citizens an
not by any will of their own, but by tl
voluntary acts of the other faction.
That is the whole situation. The *'doni
cant element" of the party is in conln
the responsibility is eutirsly on it. There
nothing for tho men of the othej ^/i^Tlle
tl?.WirWVoog and add thoir voices to tli
approral of all that the governor has don
or may do. We think and believe tliey hav
toe much manhood and self-respect to d
anything of the kind and tliul those wh
wore on the opposite side have too niucl
manhood and self-respect to rx|cct it.
if the Columbia Register knows what i
is talking about it is entirely right, Th
credit for a restoration of tho party unit;
or the responsibility for continued divisio
will he entirely with tho faction now i
power.? (j'rtenvitle Aries

TERRIBLE FIRE AT MILWAUKEEMilwaukkr,
Oct. li'J.?Morning broke o
a scene of desolation such as the Cream <"it
has never before witnessed during its corp.,
rate existence. Twenty blocks, ytstordn
covered Willi magnificent buildings, devote
to manufacture, l mile mi l commerce, wci
amass of smouldering ruins , nnil where >*>0
residences, the homes of .'1.0(10 pcoplo stood
there was nothing save piles of b!nckeue<
bricks and emoking ra'ters. The loss ii
money will probably not cxceod $ti.000.00(
on which there is nbout $2,500,000 iusm
ance: but the collateral damages, the im
mi nse shock to business and the inconven
ience and pos-i i e sufl'eiicg entai'ed upoi
residents and business men, cannot be com
puted.
Hundreds of families are left slie'tcrles
with neibing but the chllrng worn wlici
they fled from ilie quick pursuit of th
devastating flames.
At 2.50 ibis morning it was announcer
that the fire was under cor.tioi, iiaviit;
burned over about twenty squares, d.slio
ing about fifty stores attd factoids am
about 500 residences.
It is estimated that <100 families wetburned
out, and thai at least t,"><kl Individ
tin's ere homeless. As most of their build
ings, tenements and dwellings were no
insured, these people h ive met whit alttios
total loss and are destitute.
The husiuees district devnstnto J is an im
poriant one, enibrnc ng many heavy whole
sale houses.
The total Ions by the fire is mtv eMimntot
at about $<1,000,000, with insurance of nbou
$3,000,000.
t. Inimmasitt in Irklaku.?London, Oct.
29.?The scheme of wholesu'c evictions in
Ireland is beiug carried out in the tnosi
oppressive and outrageous manner, Although
Chief Secretary Morely litis eivitn
orders reviving ni.il enforcing the old rule
that 111* police shall nd give aid in evictions
[ between sunset and si nri^c, yet tlie land
| lords tind the hours i f dnvliglit qu i* sulliL
oient for their merciless work. Scores ol
[ the aged and decrepit as well as of the
[ young and otherwise helpless may he seen
I csroping out on the roads in [the soiithwcl
I of Ireland, with nothing but clothing, little
I belter than rags, to shelter thctn from tin
I bleak s'orms of October. The laws pissed
I by an English parliament permit the land
I lords to do as thay please, aud Morlcy mum
| bow to the 'aw until it is repealed. The
a Tories are just now in fore ng the laws will
& Die utmost vigor.
I Ireland, however, is no( the only fart r t
m Ihe ilritisli dominions where distress prcS
vails. It is calculated tliat about one Imum
died thousand people in London arc at this
B moment in want of Die necessities of life.
K Steps are already being tnken by charitable
H individuals and asseciati >ns to minimi/.* tho
suffering as much as pouiblc during Die
coming winter. But the task seems to be
K too great for charity and it is feared that
tbe poor of London will see one of the m st
M miserable of Christmasses. I'ooph- are
K offering work for almost any wages, and
ablebodied men may be had for twelve hours
B a day at ten shillings, or about two dolhrs
H a week.

the cili/ens which built the first cotton

No mora expensive and distetrous aril can
