and ^acts. I: ? The cost to the United States of putting [ down the strike in the West is estimated by government officers at fully ?1.000,000. The j estimate includes telegraph bills, deputy 1 marshals' pay, and transportation and maintenance oi United States troops. The estimates for marshals' pay in Chicago alone is ' from ?150,000 to $200,000, and congress, in a few days, will be asked to appropriate this amount as it is urgent. ? Patrick Eugene Prendergast, who about a!r?V? f tv*rv r* t V* a o nrr* nccncci nnfptl AFflVOr PiirlPP Harrison, of Chicago, was hanged last Fri- i day. He went to theseatfold with apparent firmness ; but had nothing to say. About him was placed a loosely fitting white robe, i After the drop fell, he swayed back and forth once or twice, there was a spasmodic movement of the legs, and in niue minutes I he was pronounced dead. His neck was: broken. ? "Eugene Debs? Why I know him asi well almost as one of my own boys," said i Senator Voorhees, in an interview the other j' day. He was either born," tbe senator con- !1 tinned, "at Terra Haute, or came there in j 1 early life. He is a terse, strong writer, a very j | fluent and really eloquent speaker. His use ( of the English language is first-class. He is a ; man of very strong convictions, with an ar- j' dent, daring temperament. He is absolute-; ly honest and clean in his affairs. He was; elected by the Democratic party of Vego j! county, Ind., for the purpose of supporting 11 me for re-election to the senate. Upon the | | meeting of the legislature he put my name | in nomination, in a very handsome speech. I , feel very kindly toward Mr. Debs, and hope he will get safely through his preseut peril- J ous situation. He is young, under 40 years of age, and has a big future if his life is < spared." ?

The disturbances in the United States attract great attention in the City of Mexico, j says a dispatch, and the general opinion of < intelligent people is that the Northern Re- j public is drifting to a point where Cleveland will have to assume dictatorial power to save ( society. He is universally regarded as a ( stroner. resolute fellow with will enough to | i confront emergencies. One journal remarks : ( "It is to be hoped that the terrible lesson t which the people of the United States are s now learning will be taken well to heart. Let them get rid of their national curse, the c professional politician and the cowardly, 1 wretched idealist whom the great Napoleon t put down ruthlessly, aud let them purify t their public offices of those platitudinous incompetents who can only talk, with the re-! suit that people forget that property has rights. ' The Populist demagogues and fatu- j J itous Democratic leaders who have broken j' down so completely in congress, and the j * Republican plunderers who emptied the na- j j tional treasury during Harrison's administra- t tion?these are the people-who have brought! ] about the results which the civilized world ! views with amazement." ? Colonel Thornton A. Washington, who died at Washington on Tuesday of last week, ( was a great-grand-son of Colonel Samuel s Washington, the oldest brother of the presi- < dent of the United States, and the fifth gen- < eration in descent from Colonel John Wash- , iugton, the first immigrant of the Washington family in America, who came over in 1659 and settled in what is now Westmoreland county, Ya. Colonel Washington, " the deceased, was born at "Berry Hill," near Charlestown, W. Ya., on January 22, 1826. j He entered Princeton college and graduated 1 with honors. He was appointed-a cadet at > West Point, and entered the academy in j June, 1S45, graduating after four years of!, study. He resigned April 8,1861, and offer- j ed his services to the cause of the South.! He received a commission from Jefferson i' Davis as captain of the regular army of the '' Confederacy. He was the acting adjutant i i general and chief of the staff of General j ( Robert E. Lee in his organization of the' Southern Atlantic States, was promoted to j major in June, 1862, and was transferred to the Trans-Mississippi department, \vhere ! he operated in a wholly independent capaci- !: ty until the close of the war. ? A special staff correspondent of the New . , York World, dispatched to Chicago, telegraphed on Monday of last week, that the ' main part of the city seemed wholly unaffected by the strike, the streets beiug thronged ; with women shoppers, and riot news exciting ' but little interest; that only 634 out of 10,000 cars at the mercy of the rioters had been burned, and railroad property damaged to ,; the extent of only $400,000, when $10,000,-1 000 worth could have been destroyed at will; that few railroad men took part in the destruction, the mass of the rioters being "the , lowest and most reckless class of the community, without courage, leaders or purpose, and with no direct grievance except an in- ( sane passion against railroads;" that "the , cowardice of the railroads has been partly j real and partly assumed! with a view, first j to influencing Washington, and then to af- j fecting public sentiment;" that "nobody is scared in Chicago, and if as much could be j i said for Washington, the situation would be clearer," and that President Cleveland's j, proclamation was "like the firebrand in the haystack" and was responsible for the order- j ing of the general strike of all trades. ? Treasury officials assume that the income tax feature of the tariff bill will re- ' main in any tariff bill that becomes a law, and they are now preparing estimates of { cost to be submitted to congress. A separate appropriation will have to be made for this, or else the item must be put into one { of the legislative' bills. A number of additional employes will be needed by collectors of internal revenue, especially in Middle and Eastern States. It is believed that thd present force allowed collectors of internal revenue in the Southern and Western States ; Will be sufficient to collect me tux in muse sections. It is generally admitted that it will require a higher order of men to act in the capacity of income tax collectors than is required for gaugers, etc., as their duties will be of a more delicate nature, bringing into play an inquisitive turn of mind and necessitating at times legal knowledge. To secure such men, a higher salary will doubt-! less have to be paid than is usual with ordinary internal revenue employes. Xo sum, J even approximately, has yet been agreed upon; but Secretary Carlisle will lose as little time as possible in forwarding his estimates, when completed, to congress. ? "The Third Party or Party of the Third Part, or whatever you call it, may get to! heaven ; but it will never get to Washington. It is not on the way," says Sam Jones. "Washington is the wickedest place on earth," he continues. "Tt is the home of the devil. The average Democrat and Kepunncan politicians are little better than rascals: but the Third Party is a fool. You can rc- i form a rascal; but did you ever undertake to monkey with a fool? They want to borrow money from the government at 2 per cent., when the government is now borrowing at ">. We hear a great deal of folks talking about the rich getting richer and poor poorer under present laws. There never was a greater lie and I'll prove it." He cited the case of Yanderbilt, Stewart, Could, Carnegie and others, all of whom had started from humble beginnings. "There's nothing the matter with the law. It's the man that's at fault. There's1 a lawyer on that side of the house who makes $20,000 a year. Here's a little pettifogger whose family is starving. The law is not to blame. It's the man himself. Here is; a physician making $10,000 a year. There's i a little doctor over in the other corner who can't make his salt. The law is not to blame.' I preach nearly every day to 8,000 people, i and here's a little preacher sitting behind me who can't average 200. The trouble is not in the law, brother; its in your noggin. The difference is organic. If all the wealth I of the United States was divided out today, each man would get about $1,160, and in less than six mouths some fellows would he riding in palace cars, and others would he walking crossties and howling for another divy." Ihc forltviUc inquirer. YORKVILLE, S. C.: WEDNESDAY, JULY 18,1894. ? Soiue of the newspapers have begun to designate Dr. Timmer?nan, the lie form candidate for lieutenant governor, "Uncle Sam." Of course 110 offense is meuit by the allusion : but the doctor really does bear some resemblance to the "Brother Jonathan" of the :omic papers, and does not get angry because people do not consider him handsome. ? If the Reform primaries all over the State should be held on the same terms as that of York, there could be but little cause for complaint. Chairman ltiggins invites the participation of all Democrats who are willing to abide the result. The only objection that can he urged, is that the people will be forced to hold two elections where one could have easily sufficed. ? -- - ? ? Reports from New York are to the effect that the big railroad strike has had a more depressing effect 011 Wall street than any other event that has occurred for years. There is no demand for stocks, except that which conies from "shorts" when the market is oversold. The men of "the street" do not look for any improvement until not only the strike; but the tariff question also, is absolutely settled. ? As between Georne M. Pullman and Ku ;ene V. Debs, there is little room for doubt that Debs is the best man. No matter what nay have been Debs's motive for precipitatng the great railroad strike in the interest of the Pullman employes, all along he has been ivilling to submit the whole matter to arbiiration. Pullman maintains that "there is nothing to arbitrate." Pullman may be :ight, and if he is, we are unable to see what le is to lose by leaving his claim to a committee of arbitration. ? During the first week of the strike, the senators and representatives in Washington cept pretty quiet on the situation. But few :ould be induced to express any opinions iither way, and especially was this the case n regard to the action of the president in ;alliug out the Federal troops. When 8cn- j itor Pefler delivered his'uncommonly rabid speech, however, the sentiment quickly J :hanged. Senator Daniel introduced a reso-1 ution endorsing the action. The resolution i ,vas voted on last Wednesday, and received I he support of all the senators except Pefler. I ? Uncle George Tillman is nothing if not ilways interesting. For some months past lis friends all over the State have been sudeavoring to get him to enter the race for governor. In reply to their importunities, ip till recently, he had nothing to say. :ie just kept quiet and allowed the people o speculate and think what they pleased. 3u( now lie is on deck with reasons why he loes not intend to be a candidate. His .age remarks, which we publish in another :olumn, will be read with great interest and jonsiderable amusement by those who ad nire him, as well as those who don't. ? The backbone of the great strike of the \merican Railway union was broken, not by United States troops, but by the newspapers. \t one time, it seemed as if nearly one million men were on the point of going in the strike. Just as the crisis was nearly on, :here appeared a long story iu the papers that President Debs, who is known to be a Keeley graduate, had relapsed into the drink liabit, and was an irresponsibe mental wreck. The fact that Debs is a Keeley graduate is true; but that he has relapsed is so stoutly [lenicd that there is strong reason to believe it a fake. All the same, however, the wouldbe strikers, at far away cities where Debs is personally unknown, were induced by the story to remain at their work, and the backbone of the strike was broken?it is possible?through a lie. ? Even the Greenville News is criticising the president. It sagely remarks: "President Cleveland is said to give no attention to newspaper criticisms of his ollicial acts. This is probably a mistake. The indications are that when the newspapers praise him, he considers their remarks very attentively. It is when they rebuke him that he ignores them. This is the reverse of the part of wisdom, which is to give a cold ear to the (latteries of one's friends and to study with care and judicial judgment the accusations and comments of one's enemies and detractors. A man rarely learns anything from those who admire him. If he wishes to improve his course or conduct, he should give heed to those who dislike or despise him. It is not the pleasant way, but it is by long odds the more profitable." - -- - ? The tariff conference committee from the senate and house has not yet come to an agreement. In fact, the representatives of the two houses seem to he as far apart as are the two houses themselves. The representatives want liberal concessions from the senators, and the senators, while expressing abundant willingness, personally, to make these concessions, are sure that they will not be endorsed by the senate. Mr. Wilson wants the senate to take a test vote on the bill, just as it came from the house: but there is little probability that such a proposition will be agreed to. It is understood that the conference committee will report to the house and senate today. The report will merely indicate a failure to come to an agreement, and both bodies will have to order a new conference and appoint new committees. UKFUIOI l'KDKAKY. Iiy reference to the proceedings of the Heform State Executive committee, published on the first page of this issue, it will be seen that the idea of a separate Reform primary is to be carried out as originally projected. Especially, as there are to he no candidates .1 ? HO III llll* uppUMU^ Hicuuiij ill i m; uuciroi ui good will in the State, we have hoped that this separate primary idea would he abandoned. Such, however, is not to he the case. As matters now stand, the general opinion seems to he that the issue is clearly between Evans and Ellerhe. Tindal and l'ope are no longer considered factors in the race, except for the influence their candidacy may have on the fortunes of the two leading aspirants. The friends of both Evans and Ellerhe are more or less sanguine in their hopes for the success of their respective factions; but there is little reason tc **?bt that the decision of the executive committee in favor of a separate primary, is to he considered lor whatever it may he worth as a triumph for Evans. Hetween now and the general primary, however, we may look for many new devel i: ?i ? .-r .... opmeius. i in* iiiuic-iiiciiK ?i v?iiv vm more candidates at the action of the coinin*: Reform "suggesting"' convention, is by no means an impossibility, and it is possible that differences, which can only bo settled in the general primary, may. arise. ' Even if there should be no trouble about the I "suggesting'' convention, it does not follow j that the balance of the campaign is plain sailing. Conservatives who may be barred from participation in the Reform primary, will not be bound or have any cause to vote j in the general primary. There will be quite ! a large numherof such voters, and somebody may be tempted to try their fortunes in the; | general election. We sincerely hope that there are no political breakers ahead, but, as I we see it, the calmness of the campaign up to | date, is eerfainlv no guarantee of a peaceful I | continuance to the end. KVAN'S OR KLLEKBK? ' August Kohn Prepares the First Gubernatorial Score Card. The political gatue in South Carolina has progressed about far enough for the score card to be watched. In politics there is no reliable way to ascertain exactly how the I game stands until the official score is un{ nounced. If an outsider were to attempt to j | calculate on the probabilities and possibilij ties of the gubernatorial campaign, he would, i I perhaps, miss it. The best thing to do, : then, is to have the candidates themselves or ! their political friends air their views. I have : had the recognized admirers of the leudingj | candidates make up the scores. It is some| what noteworthy that in very many in-1 I stances the count agrees, and many of the j j counties are conceded by the respective "fac- j I tions." It will be noted that both sides are I willing enough to claim everything in sight, j , But hero are the counts and the "tab" shows j i pretty much how the political thermometer ! stands just at this juncture.

To review the details of all the various 1 campaign meetings of the past week would be a waste of space. Generally speaking, it j would he a reproduction of the same old j story that we have been publishing during 1 the past four weeks. Meetings were held > pursuant to appointment at Manning on Tuesday ; Bonneau's, Berkeley county, on !1 Wednesday ; and Charleston on Thursday.!] The principal development of the Manning j meeting, was the introduction of General It. |l N. Kichbourg as a candidate for the oflice of 11 adjutant and inspector general. He made a | * speech in which he offered to, if elected, j make the military arm of the State's service i the proudest boast of South Carolina. The j f Berkeley meeting was devoid of sensational | incidents; but things were i LIVELY AT CHARLESTON. The meeting was held in the street at the ! t city hall, the speakers occupying the eastern ;, porch of that structure. The speaking com- j mencedat 7.30 in the evening and lasted un- i til about 12 o'clock. There was about 300 ' j people present when the meeting opened ; I \ but before it closed, the crowd had increased I, to between 4,000 and 5,000. The first speak-! ] era were Whitman, Yeldell and Timmcr-L ? w J I: Willi, auu men uuine i> GOVERNOR TILLMAN. Js At the appearance of Governor Tillman, I the crowd set up a big howl. Some people! hissed, some jeered, and some cheered with approbation. The governor commenced! with the remark : "This is the fifth time I r have had the pleasure of appearing before a: Charleston audience and trying to poke some | common sense into their heads from this spot." The sally was met by laughter, applause, jeers and hisses. When the noise subsided somewhat, the governor continued with the statement that he had 40 minutes in which to speak, and if the crowd wanted to take up his time in hallooing, he had no objection. The crowd kept up a running fire of comments, and the governor, growing angry, said : "I am not here to ask your votes. I am going to the senate without them. Von know it, and that is what makes you so mad." [Great confusion.] When the citadel academy was burnt, although I had called it a "dude factory," I hud it rebuilt when I could easily have had it abolished. The next thing I did for you, was to give you a free ballot and a fair count. [Confusion, jeers and a general row.] Why do you hate me ? I am not to blame because you are behind the times; because your street cars are j i;un with mules instead of electricity. You j are cut off from the whole State in progress, j in sympathy, in politics, and you can go toi the devil in your own way, if you want to ; but you will not be allowed to take the bal- j ance of the State with you. [General up- j roar.] Somebody asked about the dispensa- i ry law, and the governor said: Who made the dispensary law ? Ben Tillman ? Xo ; the legislature made it. It is law, and it is 1 going to be enforced, too, and you cannot! help yourselves. [Applause, jeers and hiss- j es.] I want to warn you whisky men, right: here, that you had bettter get rid of your liquor. [A voice?Sit down ; we don't want; to hear you.] Of course you do not want to hear me. I'll bet you've got a blind tiger Willi lour eyes arouuu uie uonier ngui, uvw. i j I have been through 15 counties, and the : people of all of them want the dispell-! < sary. The governor tried to take sevc- j j ral hand primaries 011 the dispensary and j | 011 the choice the crowd for senator; but|< there were very few votes. The crowd ( hissed and yelled and made so much confu-! ] sion that he ahaudoned the idea. Keverting to the dispensary again, Governor Tillman said : You arc going to have the dispensary j again and the law will he enforced with Me- f tropolitan police if it takes a thousand men. IJ [Confusion.] The governor next tried to j, discuss the financial question ; hut the crowd j continued to kick up such an uproar, that I \ he could not be heard. Somebody asked j about the Darlington riot. The governor 11 replied : "I guess you are one of the militia J1 that perjured themselves by refusing to go there." In conclusion, he said : "Hear my I parting shot. I am going to have the dispen-! sary down here whether you want it or not, | and I am going to have the Metropolitan po- 1 lice to enforce it." SENATOR Ul'TLKK ! \ Was the next speaker. When he came1 ( forward, the crowd cheered him to the echo, j Just as lie commenced speaking, however, a j 1 regular panic took hold of the crowd. It 1 was caused by a policeman collaring an offender. A thousaud men rushed from the j ( centre of the street to the sidewalk. Gener- (t al demoralization set in, and the crowd, < rushed in every direction, while mounted t policemen galloped backward and forward ; ( along the street. Finally the people became j 1 quiet again, and beyond insignificant humps | f and bruises, and the loss of a few hats, no 11 serious harm was done. Senator Butler, > who had kept his place all the while, coin- 1 menced his speech with the statement that lie did not understand what Governor Till- I man expected of Charleston people, when 1 almost the first words lie uttered were an j insult to them. Blatant and undemocratic 1 demagogues have created the prejudice that i exists against Charleston. I predict, Tight here, that Governor Tillman will go out in the 1 country, and tell how he was howled down t hereby the people of Charleston, and this,;1 too, after he had provoked the howling by t insults almost unprecedented. But I will he 1 with him when he does it, and I will stand > for the justification of the people. t In all this campaign the only thing that 1 ^ f?vii 1 ,1 ^/vn;.lof , Yiovei'iiur iniinaii nur? uiiiiit^cn mi . record, is I lie fact that I voted for t lie eon- f Urination of Judge Sinionton. [Cheers.] 1 (lovernor Tillman has gone all over the t State charging Sinionton with being a pliant ' tool of Wall street, and I expected him to i repeat those charges here in the face of i Judge Simon toil's friends. [Cheers.] t Governor Tillman?"And I'm ready to do I it now." [Jeers and yelling]. |i General Butler?"That's an old story, i The old soldiers in this crowd know what;: that means. Why didn't he shoot his gun I while he had the chance ?" I: Governor Tillman : "You give me three f minutes and I'll do it now." : Governor Tillman got up as though he 1 was coining forward. The crowd broke out i in long continued howls. Tandetnonium I j prevailed. The governor finally sat down 1 without speaking further. 1 When quiet was restored, Senator Butler 1 said if his vote for Judge Sinionton was all < there was against him he would go to the sen- ' ate and stay there until he was 1)0 years old. < [Cheers.] .< Senator Butler devoted the remainder of' i his argument to criticism of the State debt ( refunding deal. He said the I'nited States f government borrows money at .'5 per cent, ( the State of Georgia had refunded her debt i at 3 per cent., South Carolina had to pay ( -H per cent, and it certainly looked as if this i State might have gotten the interest down to 4 per cent. He read the act to show that11 ?8,000 had been appropriated for the pur-' i pose of paying expenses incident to the re- < funding of the debt; and, also, that the i bonds, while dated July 1, were to carry < interest from January 1 of the same year. < This, added to the money used by the treas- ( urer, made ?124,liil.(5"> as the cost of refund- ' ing the State debt. Senator Butler asked i Governor Tillman to explain where all this I money went to. In conclusion, Senator f Butler said he was making the campaign in !< the hope of uniting the people of the Stale. I When he sat down, he received three lusty < cheers from the crowd. The next speaker was Secretary Tindall. ] He delivered a mild, peaceful address and ] was received with good attention. Then : came John Gary Kvans. He was greeted s it'. .. f,..., nlwitvu inift ii in-put in mi v hinspi! '< He said lie did not mind rattlesnake hisses; I but it was a humiliating spectacle. The lbl-1 lowing little colloquy is as reported by the 1 Columbia State: j Mr. Kirby Tupper asked Mr. Kvans if it' was true that he had been paid $1,000 for protecting the l'ulmetto brewery, and that he had gotten a royalty on the sale of the beer. "No, it's a lie,*' replied Kvans ; and Tup-j per called for three cheers for him. Kvans also said it was an infernal lie about j < lis having gotten $15,000 for assisting in re-' e 'uniling the State bonds. r He declared that the Charleston people f( ivould not support their own institutions; hut a nvested their money outside of the State.! I Fliat was not patriotic and the young men h night to stamp it out. J t Voice?Shut up. 11 Evans? I am here to say what I believe v uid you have got to swallow it. Voice?Tell us about the Black district. Evans?Your own congressman told me hat it was easier to carry it this way than ( f it had been left as it was. I , Kirby Tapper?What's his name. [ e Evans?William ll.Brawley. ? "It's a lie," shouted Tapper over and over;' igain. Evans replied that if Tapper wanted to ;all him a lie to come at him when he was | ,IT the stand. Tapper bounded forward and was grabbed i >y a policeman and half a dozen friends and ! ushed back into the crowd. Evans continued : "You know me, Tapper, j ind I know you, and you know I will slap ! ,'our face so damn quick you won't know it. | T that man wanted to light, let him come to : ne somewhere else. It is fashionable to call lien liars these days when they are on the stand, but it is no evidence of anything but! he coward." Evans thanked the crowd for their "kind 1 ittention," whereupon there was a sort of | 'hell broke loose in Georgia" time. General Ellerbe was the next speaker. I lie wanted those who thought his record was ill right to vote for him for governor, and j hose who did not, could vote for his cousin, Min Gary. [Cries of "Oh, no!"] Evans' lad pitched into him at Bonneau's, where ic thought lie had a lot of friends; but ilayed the dunghill today in not repeating it lere. He then cracked some jokes at Jolinlie's expense, getting cheers from the crowd. His remarks about Cleveland not being in sympathy with the producing classes of the | Eolith and West, met with assent from a! score of throats.' iu The other speakers were Colonel William Elliott and I). A. J. Sullivan for congress, j Mm Gary Watts, W. D. May field and J. K.! a Harrison, of Greenville. j IN COI.I.KTON. j, The Colleton meeting was held at Walter- j joro on Friday. The crowd numbered be- L .ween 800 and 1,000 people. Dr. J. F. jr, Minus, of Colleton, was introduced as a can-! lidate for adjutant and inspector general.1 j Jeneral Kllerbe missed the train at Charles- ^ on and was not present. The only im- j p portant development of the day was the! speech of Governor Tillman in answer to the j,, questions that Senator Butler asked at Charleston in regard to the State deht. He j said that the reason South Carolina could j lot refund her bonds at 3 per cent., like j Jeorgia, was hecausc the assessed property i 11 this State was less than half as great in ! 'icorgiu, while the State debt was twice as j j" ;reat. Also, he said, this State has a Negro | 1 majority, and there is no telling how long! ive may continue to have good government, j. All the money that had been appropriated;11 ly the legislature for refunding the debt, i tad been expended honestly, and there were vouchers to show it. Most of the money lad been paid for printing the bonds themselves, and for paying the expenses of the governor and treasurer to and from New s i'ork. The half year's interest, he said, had S jone to the purchasers of the bonds. Nojodyin this State had gotten one cent of the money. In reducing the annual interest jhargfc, $80,000, the governor claimed to have i made the lirst financial transaction ever made by a farmer. He showed that John C. Haskell had introduced a resolution to continue the State deht for three years longer at 3 per cent. If this had been done, the tax- j jj payers would have had to pay $2:10,0001 . idditional, or just twice as much as the State i ^ lad paid in commissions. ' The explanation j ivas very complete and seemed to he satis- j jfactory. n Cal Caughman, who is a candidate for con- J ^ ;ress, made an attack on Governor Tillman j j ind called him "the most arrant fraud that i rad ever entered the political arena of South ! Carolina." The people had no sympathy for I j Caughman, however, and quickly howled! him down. j ^ AT BKAUFOKT. j j The Beaufort meeting was comparatively j piict. There were present probably 300 t >eople, about half of whom were blacks.'t The crowd was overwhelmingly for Butler, t [). II. Thompkins was officially announced , n is a candidate for secretary of state, and A. j r tV. Jones, for comptroller general. Both , ] made their first speeches in advocacy of their 1 s daims for the respective offices. fi NORTHWESTERN LABOR TROUBLES. )\ jh riu- Situation is SettlinK Down to Normul Con<)itions. n The great railroad strike which has been c iL'itatintr the country for the past two weeks, I s now practically over. To tell the story fi )f the strike in all its details would be im- j jossible in the small space that can be de- \ ,'oted to it. We can only review some of the e nain features. , v While the main trouble was in Chicago, (] .Jovernor Altgeld made every eflbrt to con- j g rol the situation. Ife hadseveral regiments 0 )f the Chicago National guard quartered in a lie city, and issued orders for the purchase , \\ )f all the large calibre rifles in the State.! t iie estimates that the expenses of the State 1 s or about 10 days, at about ?10,000 a day. During the rioting in the city, about 15 per- a sons, including strikers and spectators, were f tilled. The loss of property destroyed by r strikers for tbc railroads is estimated at ji letween ?5,000,000 and ?8,000,000. The (] various railroads are putting forth ellorts to n jet at the exact figures, for the purpose of'r endering bills to the city of Chicago and the ; j *tate of Illinois for damages. t The main strike centre outside of Illinois, u ,vns at Sacramento, California. The strikers t ook charge of the railroad yards on last |j Wednesday, and refused to allow any trains o be removed. Several companies of; h United States soldiers and State troops were ] sent to the railroad yards. The strikers ,J jave way without resistance, and a train ? >vas made up for San Francisco. Several: ompanies of soldiers got aboard to see it 1 n safely through. When the train got a few | () niles from town, the engine suddenly f urned over and all the cars were ditched, f The engineer and three soldiers were killed t] ind four soldiers were more or less seriously njured. Investigation developed that the j, it like is had pulled the spikes from the cross s ies for a distance of several hundred feet [ ind covered up their work with sand. The t soldiers scoured the country for the miscremts, but none of them could be found. A light occurred between militia and strikers j it Sacramento on the same day. About 200 j ihots wei*C fired. One striker was killed iS ind a Japanese was wounded bv a stray .ml let. ' On Wednesday, President Debs, of the A. R. I'., was arrested at Chicago on a war- " ant charging him with conspiracy to com-1 f nit acts in violation of the laws of the: I'liUed States. Upon a hearing, the court " lecided to release Debs on a bond of ?10.000. c Flic bond was promptly furnished, and Debs I lontinued about his work of directing the ? >tl ike. He perfected arrangements by which h ihout 50,000 Chicago laborers were to go out| J1 m a strike by Saturday night. As the re- i mil nf the subsemient deliberations, how-j jver, these men decided lo remain at their j ^ ivork. Debs is wanted by the Federal courts j >f several States, on tbe same charges that a ivere preferred against him in Chicago. The strike is generally endorsed by the < t ['opulists throughout the West. At a mass { neeting held in Omaha, Neb., last Wednes-jt lay, resolutions upholding it were passed 1 ' inanimously. The Populists of Kansas have mused te be printed, hundreds of thousands o jf "slickers,'' One sticker says: "Strike!' Government ownership the only remedy." ' v The other says: "(lovernment ownership of ailroads means fair treatment, less hours of h oil, prompt payment of wages and 110 strikes !" Kvery Populist carries a pocketful ? jf these stickers, and is posting them 011! niildings, fences and in public places every- [ ? tv he re. . 11 On Sunday the executive ollicers ol the A. j It. C. held several meetings in different I ;>arts of Chicago. President Debs made * speeches to his followers and urged them to stand firm. The committees having charge T 1 jf the strike on uie various roans, h-jhuiuu that violence was subsiding and that tlieili it like rs were getting daily accessions to their t ranks. Committees from the town of I'ull- j p man reported that the strike there was still v jn, and there was general expressions of ( confidence that- the strikers would finally i t win. Whatever may be the future progress e jf the strike, there seems to be good reason ' li :o believe that there will be no further re-'t sorts to violence and bloodshed. ! t The Chicago railroad officials commenced c in Saturday to get things in shape for a gen-11 nil resumption of trnfiic. The Rook Island I oad, which luul dispensed with its entire! jroe during the strike, got its men together! gain on Monday. The Milwaukee and St. ' 'aui. which led in the general suspension of ashless, got its forces together again ou yescrday. The roads generally, expect to get rallic to its usual volume in about two reeks. ASSESSMENT OF REAL ESTATE.

HON. (IKORtiK lb TILLMAN >i'<'lines to tie C'lindldute for Governor of South Curolliui. Clark's Hill, S. C., July 12,1894. Editor Register : I ask space in your paicr to publish this letter. I Jim not a candiate for governor, and as I am tired of writng separate private letters to that effect, I iope this public response will suffice for a eply to numerous unanswered solicitations rom strong men of all political factions, lore or less, residing in nearly every counir in t ho stinfp nroinir me to enter the ember "" "*,w '' "** *" J O" ""O CJ latorial race. To say nothing of being very, very busy rith farming operations and rebuilding my [welling house which was recently burned, aany other reasons concur to prevent me [ om standing for governor, only one of which will mention, deeming it all sufficient. I am not one of those who seem to think j hat Edgefield and four of its adjoining coun-1 ies are the State of South Carolina, and I herefore it occurs to me that the eternal fit-1 ess of things forbid an Edgefield man should ! un for governor in the pending canvass. | Idgfield may produce all the Ciesars and ix-sevenths of the 34 other eountiee may Lirnish most of the underlings of South Carlina, still I cannot divest myself of the beef that a majority of the counties likewise ave good material. Some of them an abunance of it, for making senators, congresslen, judges, governors or State house offiers. Remembering the many high places Edge-! eld men (including myself) have filled since 870, and considering that she now has aj Inited States senator, a congressman, a gov-1 rnor and a circuit judge actually in office, rhi 1 e at the same time she has two eatidiates for the senate, one candidate for conress, one candidate for lieutenant governor,! nc candidate for secretary of state, and still : nother candidate for railroad commissioner,' f I were to come out for governor also, I fear j housands of modest men would marvel at! uch audacious impudence. This geographical argument in favor ofi ssigning honorable civil distinctions to dif- j ercnt localities, is something akin to a just! roportion or rotation, is usually all power-' ill, and it cannot be long ere most of the un-1 crling counties of the State shall assert their j atural sentiment of self-respect and recipocal equality in awarding political honors.! lence, I do not care to provoke too much he fatigued indignation of the supposed ndorlinps. who. sooner or later, according i) the law of all reactions, shall surely com- j line to retaliate against Edgefield, and when ' hat revulsion comes, as it must, or else all j listory is a lie, a generation or two will like-1 y have to pass before another Edgefield j nan shall he able to get any position outside | f his county. In other words, I cannot stand for gover-l or now, bertiusc I have a too lively sense I f the indecency of a few counties, or a few amities, or the same county, or the samel iimily, at the same time, attempting to; lonopolize the best offices of the State. I sincerely thank my many zealous friends n all parts of South Carolina for their as-1 urances of support, and deeply regret that cannot comply with their wishes at this ime. (5. 1).

June Massey, colored, of Bock Hill, was committed to jail on last Wednesday on the charge of murder. Just on the outskirts of Bock Hill there is a blind tiger run by J. J. Massey, colored. June Massey was there, with two colored women?Bessie Holland and Annie Davidson?from Charlotte. Bessie Holland asked June Massey for 10 cents with which to get a drink. J. J. Massey, just at that time, handed June a revolver. Unbreeching the weapon, and, as he thought, throwing out all the cartridges, June said, "I havn't got any 10 cents; but I will shoot you," and commenced snapping the pistol in the woman's face. Presently the hammer of the revolver fell on a cartridge that had not been taken out, and there was a loud report. The woman fell to the floor with the excla- 4 motion, "Oh, you have killed me." In a few moments she was dead. Examination showed that the hall had entered the woman's left eye and lodged just under the skin in the back of her head. At the inquest, held next day bv Trial Justice J. J. Waters, acting as coroner, nothing developed to show that the killing was other than accidental, and the jury returned a verdict simply to the effect that the woman came to her death from a pistol shot tired by the hand of June Massey. This is Massev's second accidental victim. Ill Rock Ilill, about 10 years ago, he killed one Alien Hall, colored, with a sash weight. He was tried on the charge and acquitted. It has not been shown that he had any malice against his last victim, and he seems to be very much distressed about the occurrence. LOCAL LACONICS. Teachers Fleeted. ?
