There is no difference in political purpose between ilio element in South Carolina rcpreeentcd by Tillman and Irhy an I the clement in Knusas represented hy reffer mid Simi son.

Then, why should they, in the one State, lie regarded as Democrats when in lliu oilier they are avowed l'opulis's? It is I me tiiat in South C'lroliua. atone ol all tho States i f tho Union, tlis element controls tlio machinery crented for thu advancement of the Democratic |?uriy, mid is | thUB cimh'cd to use against tho Democracy the Tory enginery of its own power. Hut that does not continue thai organization its Democrat io nny mnro thnn tlio seizure of the Union Timks office ond its operation hy , ngents of Populism would mean iho continuance of our contemporary as a Democratic paper.

Is it not time that we were Heouring such a a organization, some head nnd center of Dcmncintie thought and power nnd nctiou? N* hat. matters it 1 that Irby and his assistants in betraying the i Democratic ptia'y into the hands of its enc- ] mics should call it, ns our contemporary suugests, "an ctl'ort lo form a j arty outside of I he organized Democratic party of the State?" Of course they will tny this. It is an essential part of their policy to claim that they control the Democratic parly. Hut what holiest man will believe hi iho potency of a st lcn inline ?

Governor Tillman has issued a pr >claluatiou calling in the commissions of all notaries public issued prior to 188'd.

The tkeoriee advanced by TKc Btati were f*jj eipeeted by ue when we made objection to ^ Qeaetel Hampton's proposition, nod instead oc of converting ae le its way of thinking we no are more firmly convinced that oar position " is the correct one. With the Greenville Aretn the Union Tinas "would do nesrly || anything for General Hampton and would v| work its heart eut to serve hire because be to is well worthy ef all tbe honor end love this u, State can give him.

Under the present organization of the ?' democrat io party, it seems to us.the proposi- w tion of Ocucrai Hampton, if carried out, will u make tlie split among tlio wliitc peoplo more bitter than cvor, without giving any promise that a change for the better will be the re- 01 suit. Wo canuot consent to go out*id* of 8' the wliitc citizens of Iho State to secure a 110 democratic (?) victory. General Hampton's letter draws the lines P1 very sharply an t distinctly, dividing the democratic party into two antagonizing 81 fn?i5..?. ?,ri?ino fonlt".'- ?? toward the other, rnthor than holding out tlie olive branch of peace and unity to that n largo elnss of democrats who while honestly holding to many of the OcaIa demands arc ^ still true democrats and ns honestly believe gi that tlio reliefs so greatly needed can be bet- 1,1 ter secured through the old democratic party than through any new political organization.

(j Our town authorities claim that the dis- jf peusary law takes the power to a*rest nnd punish parties for selling whiskey without license completely out of their bauds. They have no right to search any room or other 0! premises to furl whether the drunk comes from dispensary or contraband whiskey, g That duty belongs to I lie dispensary officers. All that I be town authorities ran do is to j, arrest and punish those who disturb Ilie ^ pence of the community when under the b intUieiice of either dispensary or "blind tiger" whiskey. The result is, many drunks Vl and a number of "blind tigers." Are the ? authorities correct in the position they nstttiiue; si W? have hoard of one dodge to deceive tho dispensary detectives, and we don't see ^ clearly how it can be caught s.p with. It is pi simply this: A man collects any number of dispensary whiskey tlasks and bottles. ^ lie may buy them fil ed at the dispensary. J, There's no law against havii g these flasks n: in your possession, an 1 it wdl take the w keenest detective eye to prevent the dispenser himself or anyone cbe from filling them as often as they wish with contraband liquor.

We conder it the ablest and most conclusive premutation of tli&t law we have yet read, and j fully accords with tho opinion we have II along held on that subject that we shall ublish it next week. It is not the law itself that is so objectionble to the generality of our oitizens, but lie men and means employed to enforce its ctails. It is natural for every man to >athe a npy or sneak. It was imbedded in 11 of us at school, and we can't rub it out. r'ho does not remember the utter contempt hat was felt for a boy or girl that acted as spy nnd tell-tale upon his or her schoollates. From the schoolboy up to the highest ofccr in the army there is a deeply rooted disust for any one who will resort to surreptiious and unmanly means to find cause for nodier's punishment. That seems to be lie conduct of the dispensary constables, nd hence it is but natural that they are not cspeotcd and meet witn opposition.

Fernandrz Sanz, captain of the steamship Cabo Mnchicnco, which was blown up at Santnnber on Friday, says that the explosion sent tlie steamer's engine fifty yards into the air. Sixty-five houses were wreckol from roof to oellar by the shock. The divers have been busy since yesterday noon, searching the harbor's bottom near the quay where the explosion occurred. They have found piles of mangled bodies among the ruins of the sunken vessel. In one pile tho remnants of fiftoen bodies were found ; in another the sovcrcd limbs and trunks of twenty-five more.

I What SataftlOEAORlS.?Strictly speaking J seigniorage is the charge made by any na- 1 tiounl government for coining bullion on private nccouut. It usually takes the form of a certain percentage, fixed by law and deducted from the metal brought to the mint. In other words, when an Individual brings to a government mint a quanlby of oue of tbe precious mctnls to be coined on his private account, he will receive a w?ight of . coins equal to tiro weight of pure metal brought, less the percentage doduoted as compensation to tbe governmoutfor its serviccs and incidental expenses of coinage, and plus the weight of the alloy. At the present time the United States government makes uo charge for coining gold, and does not receive silver, copper or nickel for coinage on private account. Therefore, the term seignorage is not siricily applicable to any transaction iliat takes placfcr connection with Federal mints. However, as used in current discussions of the silver question, the term is taken to mean the nominal profit made by tbe^govcrnment on its purchases of silver and the coinage of the same. To illustrate :'u The present market price of silver is almost exactly 70 cents an ouuee, while its ''coinage value" is precisely $1.'<<9 an ounce, so that . ou every ounce of silver bought and coined there is an apparent profit of GO cents.' For rcatons tiiat have been more than once carefully explained, this profit is rather apparent than real, seeing that the "coinage value" is rather technical than actual. When it is proposed to coin the seigniorage silver now in lie Treasury the meaning of thc proposition is that all the silver bullion purchased nndcr the act of July, 1890, commonly called the Sherman nc', not already coined aud over and above the amount thit would bo needed to furnish standard silver dolWirs to mitch each dollar represented by Treasury notes issued under the law, shall bs c lined into standard dollars. This Cotton Skkd Cnor.?A statistical estimate rccent'y publishc 1 makes the nn......l ~r !.- - fmuv vi iiv piuuuvt irout, cotton seed nbout .5:50,000,000. The New Orleans Picayune cilia attention toihe rapid advance the. value of cotton seed since the marketing '.'t tac pTvuCttt cotter* Ciuj* ctntntcnce i* When the season opened, two months ago, cotton seed was worth $11 per short tin, and since that time the price has advanced steadily, until it is now $16 per ton. This improvement represents a substantial gtyin to the Southern planter and also indicates either an unusually heavy demand for cotton seed or an uncommonly short prospective mpply. When it is remembered that it is but a comparatively short time since cotton seed had no market value at a'l, the present price of $IG per ton proves what a tremendous advance has been made towards ntil zing all the products of the cotton plant and what a considerable portion of hi| profits tho cotton producer formerly lost. "In this connection," says the Picayune, "it would be well remembered that the price of picking the crop has been very much reduced this yenr, and this saving addeiUto the enhanced price of seed, has greatly T& ?pj'" creased the profits of the producers, some authorities claiming that from these i?? causes, full 2 coots per pound has been * added to the price of cotton compared with the price ruling during the big crop year \ two seisms ago." ??- .I!
