A Small Way of Doing Business.
The following circular has been
forwarded to us by the Comptrollei
General, with the statement that the
Legislature made no appropriation to
». MR'uy tlie e^pepscs of carry Lig put the
provisions of the ^ct/atid that there
U no way lit which he can reach
those interested, unless tlie newspa
pers of the State will generously pub
lish the circular. Qf course Comptroller
fleueral Stopey is in no way to blame,
'H>ur1t"is*diflerent witli the Legisla
ture, for it is tlie same picayunisb
policy of destestable meanness which
subjects the press of the State to so
hiauy drafts upon its time and capi
tal. If a new carpet had to be bought
for the legislative balls or new desks
for the members, very good care would
•be taken to proyiijs for paym'ehtV and
It would be thdugh't d’freak bflnsani-
iy ' ifr'lke'Sergeunt-at-Arms were to
write to the carpet or furniture ‘deal
ers, and state that the Legislature had
decided that' new carpets and new
"desks vi'et-i;'necessary, blit had made
too appropriation, and that there was
ho way ©f getting them unless tin
carpet'innl furniture dealers would
'gcncromly supply them. Now this is
precisely what the Legislature has
done in-this instance. In fact, it is
^rhe meanest' kind of sponging, be
cause that bhdy* itolled upon tlie fact
that the newspapers toijched by sym
pathy would net refqsp to publish, for
the reason that it would iuflicta hard
ship upon the meritorious beneficiar
ies of the act. No profession or occu
pation is subjected lo so many drafts
upon its generosity, for which no
thanks arc ever returned, as the news-
toape? prosrf, knd no profession is lia
ble to so many 'rLka and heavy
charges for current expenses.
. When the beneficiaries are eluirclies,
benevolent institutions, or needy pri
vate individuals, we grin and bear it,
without uttering a complaint, but
When it is the great State of South
Carolina, to which we have to contrib
ute our quota of taxation upon the
capital engaged in our business, we
protest that it is a very small, misera
ble way of doing business. Never
theless ve think our patriotic Comp-
trellbir-Cfcftilti'aJ hc.s do.}e right ic ap
pealing to the gehofosi'ty of the press
an-behalf of the Wptmded veterans,
who have so many claims upon the
sympathy of our people, ahd 'fo'r their
sake we make rbqnl fdr 1 the' circular,
while at the same time we protest
against this forced levy upohourcapi
tul and resources. The following
Mr- •Cleyvland as the “Mugwump
President.” It seems that lie offended
in appointing a colored man from 2£e\v
York as Recorder of Peeds frtr the
District .if Columbia ih’tTff place of
Fred Douglass. We have not taken
much stock in the Democratic crus
ade against the President, nor shall
we, until 1 fiave more convincing
proof of hts oftpiat blunders and
shortcomings. We still'bblleve that
he is an honest man; that H ia hi* In
tention to do right, alul* ‘♦rmU he
thinks ia for tho good ofi'the country
at larged■ iV ' ; 1
To tills our only reply is that our
esteemed co-temporary is grieviously
in error. Nothing of tlie kind has ap
peared in tiie editorial columns of the
Rkcordeb. While we dp not think
the Democratic pnr£y hpa been
strengtheti'ed by Mr; crevelajj^?* pol
icy, yet we are clbhrly of the opinion
that, at leat for the preseqt, It is the
duty of' tlie JJeniocraoy to rally
arou mi their‘President, and stand by
him in ids struggle against Republi
can Senatorial presumption and
arrogance.

Correspondence of Tlie Aiken Recorder.
Washington. March 1ft, 1886.
Within a week Congress has had
two oppotunities to suppress a cus
tom that has been criticised by the
whole country.
I refer to tlie custom of junketing
funeral excursions whenever a Sena
tor or representative happens to die.
It is one against which public senti
ment has long manifested itself. Yet
the junketing goes on. It is estimat
ed that the expense of transporting
tlie remains of Senator Miller to Cali
fornia by special train and sending
with it a Congressional committee
which will return in the same way,
will be $20,000. The expense of tlie.
funeral train and committee tiiat have
gone with the deceased Representa
tive Hahn to New Orleans, will cost
at least half that amount*. i " 1
One member of Congress has had
the courage to declai«Hutnst*lf again*t
this senseless way of Spending thi
people’s money. It was "MrV Qates, a
one armed Democrat from Alabama.
He offered a resolution to amend the
House rules so as to prohibit the ap
(.'ointment of funt ral committees to ac
company tlie dead bodies of members
beyondthe limits of Washington City.
If it should be ado. ted, then tlie pro
posed plan of confining the delivery o
eulogies over d«*eeased members t<>
special Sunday sessions would be next
in order.
It isfearrying the matter furthur
tbanei hermityorgood taste demnm 9
to lay aside the nations bus ness tor a
whole day when a member’s death is
announced, and for another whole
day to honor his memory with pane
gyric oratory. No patriotic member cf
either House of Congress would wisl
t ihave his demise stop public busim •
or desire a junketing expedition t*.
celebrate it: 1
Death h'as been busy in tlieFortyninth
Congress, having taken already two
Republican and twoDeinocratie mem
bers from the lower House, and trom
the Senate, one Republican Senatoi
and a Denocratic vice-Prosident. The
Sudden death of Ex-Governor Hahn
of Lousiana, a prominent Republican
Congressman from that State, was
ascribed to the bursting of a bloo<
vessel from violent coughing. Iu lib
private parlor at Willard’s hotel, hi
was found outstretched on tlie floor,
lifeless, attired In his night robe and
covered with blood.
Among other changes proposed ir
Comrress is one subf tituting the tliir
t enth of April for inauguration da\
in piace of tlie fourth day of March.

OVERCOATS
A RK the most usetul gaamenta in
tlie cold season, you will see by re-
fering to the cut the necessity of bav-
haviug one these garments. Thiseon-
slsts of all grades, from a*$5 Overcoat
to $40, the finest. There is very little
change in these garments; tlie pat
terns are very neat in style, and con
servative in Colors, and the linings
in Satin and Silk make a fashionable
over-garment that no one need be
ashamed to wear. Just think of it,
the best‘dressed gentlemen fire now
patronizing tills Emporium for Fash
ionable- Dress and businoGa Suits,
which are made to fit equal to any
Merchant Tailor’s work and at one-
half the price; There are “no better
goods out into Suits tlian can be found
in this well selected Stock. You can
find everything a gentleman needs
froni his Hat down to his Shoes, such
as Underwear, Neckwear, Hats, fine
Shoes, and fine Clothing. This is
undoubtedly the LARGEST AND
MOST COMPLETE STOCK in the
State, and at prices for the same Grade
of Goods cannot be competed with
anywhere. My long experience in
this business and having the taste
(which has been proven), has given
me the advantage over other competi
tors, in having the FINEST AND
MOST RELIABLE STOCK in tho
City. Another advantage is, I have
the best lighted Store, so that custom
ers can see what the}’ are buying, also
the make and finish of the garments.
I cordially invite you to call and
take a glance through this large estab
lishment when in the City, I will take
pleasure iu showing you through.
