For over a quarter ffi^f^rahtnry they have held almost con cS; tinuo'us power in each department of the ^government. At no time in that period have the Democrats. possessed complete control enough to give an administration '?^marked by their influence alone. Fre they could do was to ?'r'>^thwMt,the-EepuLlican8 in their mon ^patrbus and disastrous schemes and meas ^nr^ agsdnst the liberties of the people, ^.^he mosi.endoring fidelity, and brilliant ' < strategy has often been required to pre |||?se^6.this liberty, as in the case of the l^. def^t of the Force Bill in the last Sen f?>afe,rohe?the Democrats were in a mi f^-noni^by 8 or 10 votes. ; ^ In this day of political unrest, when 5: ther?-is "a tendency in some quarters to ^^eeert well-established and safe princi Gramtl^-to wek after Btrange gods, the |fv^^-8H8e8'that no Democrat would de ll^aire to join any third party did he but ^^Srpughly know the principles of the l^sgcjtyf hewould leave.

J. Hendrix McLane and hi? crowd have gotten into shape and issued an ad? dress to the people of the State. They have organized as the "Republican State League," and confidently remark, "We are getting encouragement from all di? rections from the right thinking element of both races." The Democratic party may have other enemies than the League to fight, and if so, it should be known. There are men in the State to-day who formerly were Democrats and were proud to say so at any time or on any occasion. Now, they are noncommittal, or Bimply say they are Democrats conditionally. If the Democratic platform, heretofore amply broad enough, is now too narrow for these individuals, or if their selfish per? sonal schemes can better be worked out through a third party, then let them so declare, for it was never seemly for jack? daws to claim fraternity with the pea cock. Equivocation is always contempt? ible. Those who no longer see any good in the grand and honest old Democratic party will be more respected by declaring squarely for the third party than by wavering between the old and the new. The people are the voters, and the white voters of the Sonth are the Demo? cratic party, though now this same party is triumphant in many Northern States. How is it possible, then, for a fragment from the Democratic party to accomplish anything when a solid Democracy has failed so often to accomplish its meas? ures, owing to Republican supremacy ? The Democratic party is sufficient for all men who desire a Democratic form of government. It may not be sufficient for those visionary persons who advocate schemes which, as Gor. Tillman says, would be "paternalism run mad." The prediction has been made that Grover Cleveland would not be the next Presidential nominee if Gov. Campbell was re elected Governor of Ohio. Camp? bell stands on a free silver platform? Cleveland doesn't. Campbell will almost surely win, if last Fall's elections indi? cate anything. The pension office is going to be the cause of some very lively times in the next Congress, between the investigations that are to be made into its workings and the renewal of the fight for its trans? fer to the war department, which it now aeems will certainly be made, and there is reason to believe that the movement wiil be more popular than ever before, and that it will go through. That "big ditch" in Columbia has been sold to Boston capitalists. It has been on hand a good while, and has been the subject of mach comment and debate. We hope the people of Columbia will soon see factories rising on the banks of the canal, and reap a rich harvest from this enterprise, which has pressed heavily on them in time past. Col. Pearce'a option was treated rather shabbily, though, Will he let it go that way ? Gov. Campbell received the Democrat? ic nomination for re election to the gubernatorial chair of Ohio last week, and his administration of public affairs in the past was heartily endorsed.- The Convention formulated a platform, which, in the main, can be accepted heartily by all Democrats. The most important issues favored are, a tariff for revenue only, the free and unlimited coinage of silver and Canadian reciprocity; and they denounced the Republican Billion Dollar Congress and the Force Bill. A minority report was made against the plank demanding the free and unlimited coinage of silver, but was snowed under by a vote of 300 to 9. The Ohio Demo? crats stand on a good platform, have a good man to Iead~them, aud can win the fight if they will let drop their personal jealousies and dislikes. The Third Party will meet and place a State ticket in the field next month, but it is said they will draw but little strength from the ranks of the Ohio Democracy. There is danger of the silver question becoming.so prominent as to overshadow the real and most vital issue between the two great parties. The tariff question is infinitely the more important of the two. It is by means of the iniquitous tariff law that the Republicans have succeeded in taxing the people of the country out? rageously and unjustly. It is done for the benefit of Northern manufacturers. It enables the Republican party to pay over $400,000,000 annually to pensioners, who in turn vote the Republican ticket. It made the Billion Dollar Congress possible. It is a fruitful source of ex? travagance and corruption. No man knows how much tax this tariff law forces out of him. On every silk and woolen article a person boys he pays a -high tariff. On farm implements, cotton ties, tinware, glass, leather, and scores of other necessary articles of every day use, he pays an immense tax. If each of us knew how much tax was thUB indirectly extorted from us each year, every other question would be of little moment in our efforts to desire to reduce taxation to a. tariff for revenue only. The tariff, question is the question of the day. Solid and Staunch, Laubens County, S. C, July 18. The following resolutions were unani? mously passed by the Lisbon Alliance: "Resolved, 1st. That this A lliance re? news its allegiance to the principles of the farmers' movement, and to its leader, Goy. B. R. Tillman. 2nd. That we do not believe Governor Tillman has been, is, or ever will be, disloyal to the Alliance or the farmers' interests in South Carolina, notwith? standing the efforts of certain coat-tail ' politicians to persuade the members of the Alliance to the contrary. 3rd. That we favor the Ocala demands, but this. Alliance accords to Governor J Tillman the right of free thought and free speech, and the time has not come to sacrifice Governor Tillman for the very doubtful chance of getting the sub treasury or any other scheme. "4th. That if it is the purpose of the leaders of the Alliance to deliver our or? ganization to the third party, we would like to know it at once. "5tb. Any scheme of legislation tbat is not strong enough to commend itself to the Democratic party of this State, is too weak to command our support, for the Democratic party is still good enough for us. Williams Weight, Pres. A. R. Holmes, Sec. Bush, Col., July 15?Ten miles south of here grasshoppers are devastating all plant life which lies in their course Their operations extend over a scope of country twelve miles in width. They are moving north and bid fair to lay waste all crops which they come across. The ground is completely covered and so numerous in parts as to be an inch deep. Several upland farmers have lost their entire crops. Many of these farmers have suffered for the last four years from 'drouth, and it is feared great distress will be caused by this new misfortune. ' ?jt a?QBBBBSaBca anaastMB &a? aaaaaa A Jfew Suh?Treasnry Idea, JVo?? the Atlanta Journal The publication by the Journal last Saturday of an interview with Colonel Livingston, in which he set forth a mod? ification of the original sub-treasury plan has attracted much attention in this State. At this time the Ocala platform and the part it will play in local and national politics is discnssed everywhere, and the exposition of this new plan for securing government loans to the people is there? fore more interesting at this time. Colonel Livingston's plan in full is as follows: "The sub-treasury bill introduced into Congress at the last session was intended to make operative theSt. Louis demands. Since we have added real estate as a ss cnrity for loans, necessarily a bill will be drawn different from the old one. "We have never planted ourselves upon the sub-treasury bill exclusively, but have always contended for the plan or princi? ple, and so stated when before Congress, Now we stand npon the sub-treasury plan as adopted at Ocala and demand of Con? gress a bill in detail to make that system operative. "This can be done, as we declare, with one or more sub-treasuries or depositories in each State, with or without government warehouses. The present facilities of warehousing will answer without the ex? pense of government warehouses or ap? paratus. "In other words, if Congress will enact a law authorizing the issue of notes to be deposited in the States-,' and to be loaned on non-perishable farm products and real estate at not more than 2 per cent, per annum, we will be perfectly satisfied. This is the Ocala plan. We will and can take care of the warehouseing, and all necessary details without any help from the government whatever. All that we insist upon is thus briefly stated." "What is the sab-treasury plan ?" (,We demand that the government shall establish sub treasuriea or deposito? ries in the several Slates, which shall loan money direct to the people at a low rate of interest, not to exceed 2 per cent, per annum, on non-perishable farm pro? ducta and also upon the quantity of land and amount of money." "We demand that the amount of circu? lating medium be speedily increased to not less than $50 per capita. . "This is the Ocala sub-treasury plan, differing from the St. Louis plan in that real estate is added as a security upon which to borrow money. "What is the simple analysis of this plan ? Give it bo the people can under? stand it." "It means that Congress shall author? ize the issue of treasury notes, good for all debts, private and pnblic, supplement? ing the gold and silver currency actually in circulation, owned and controlled by this country, to equal the demand. It means that this currency shall be based npon the credit of the government, (Fiat money.) That means that this cnrrency shall be based upon all the taxable prop? erty of this country, whether taxed or not, also upon the right and power of Con? gress to declare war, and enlist for the defence of the credit of the government, every citizen subject to military duty. In a word, every dollar's worth of property and the life of every man subject to mil? itary duty would stand pledged for such a currency. This is a much better basis for an issue than gold or silver. Lands and citizens cannot be secreted when pay day comes?gold and silver can, "This plan means a currency according to demand, This is a law of nature that is stamped upon everything that has left the hand of a wise and beneficent God, and should be recognized in every busi? ness arrangement put forth by man,. "Who has the right or the foresight to estimate the amount of currency needed in a country like this in a given period ? Who can tell to-day what will be the output of the fields, shops, mines and manufactories of the United States for the year 1891 ? A, currency should be used as a medium of the exchange of products. Such an exchange as will fa? cilitate and help and well being all wealth producers. Who besides those interested should settle the question whether they need this facility or not? "The sub-treasury plan means to de? clare that the United States Congress is legally and morally bound to furnish the amount of currency necessary to success? fully carry on the business of this coun? try, without lot or hindrance, to any call? ing (legitimate) or section. The consti tution reserves to Congress the exclusive right to coin money and fix its value. Congress has gone further, and to protect this exclusive privilege has taxed all State, corporate ,or individual issue of certificate or bills of promise to pay, to be used as a circulating medinm, ten per cent, This plan means to declare that as long as the Constitution prevents, through Congress, the States or corporation help? ing themselves on this line, that Congress should and shall furnish the currency needed upon demand. "The sub-treasury plan means that the government oredit shall not be a source of speculation between her citizens, thereby placing the weak at the mercy of the strong, or, as Calhoun, John 0., sta? ted it, 'why should the people be charged interest upon the government credit when that credit could be sent to them without charge ?' In other words, ? direct to the people is our plan. This' plan evades premiums, interest and commissions and gi veB people cheap money?which the gov? ernment is bound to do; or turn the peo? ple loose and let them supply them? selves. "This plan secures to the largest num? ber of the people the facility for borrow? ing money, or the use of money in the exchange of products?not for specula? tion. "It Bays 'on non perishable farm pro? ducts and also on real estate." You ask me why not upon stocks and bonds ? For the simple reason the people have not and cannot obtain such collateral. In other words, our plan is intended to benefit the people, and, therefore, must rest upon such collateral as the people have?lands and crops. It would be perfect mockery to offer the farmers of this country money upon any other'security, and every intel? ligent citizen must either agree to such a plan or take the position of a "gold bug" ?let-the people labor and let capital manage the currency, or in a word, take the emphatic position of Yanderbilt, "damn the people." "This plan means that the government shall continue to do just what it is now doing?only substitute the people for the banks, only substitute the people for the capitalists, and instead of an issue to meet the demands of the banks an issue to meet the demands of the people." "What are Borne of the advantages?" "This plan would give us a currency to fit the business, and not the gambling and speculative propositions of our people. "This currency could not be cornered or interfered with" by the government, and the borrower alone would be or could be parties to the contract. "This plan would equally distribute the currency to every section and to all the people, thereby enabling all to pros? per, at least an equal chance to prosper. "This plan would take theproducer out of the hands of speculators and enable the producer and consumer to deal direct with each other and thereby benefit both. "This plan would enable the poor to reach cheap money, and if there was no other reason to commend it to the patriot, Christian and statesman, this should. "This plan would encourage ownership of real estate, and thereby encourage and stimulate good citizenship. "This plan would encourage farming and planting for the reason that non-per? ishable crops would become a basis for financial transactions at a much less cost to the producer than now obtains. "This plan, and only thiB plan would stop gambling in futures, corners and combines upon the necessities of life. "This plan would help the merchants and manufacturers in that merchants could realize at least the advance upon the crops or the whole debts due upon the land security. Manufacturers could pur? chase for monthly deliveries at leBS ex? pense.", ? Physicians of this country are paid annually nearly $1,500,000 for medical examinations for life insurance compa? nies.

There were 6,000 people in attendance, when a lion in some manner got out of its cage, and the immense crowd rushed for the streets, Fortunately no one was killed in the ? wild rash to escape, but several were se? riously injured. The lion did not get very far away from his cage, as the em? ployees easily drove him under his wagon, where he was held by loose pieces of iron fence until the crowd could depart, r Clay City, Ills., Jaly 20.?This morning all that remained of Robert James's family, living three miles east of here, was found in the ruins of their home, which was evidently burned du? ring the night.

New York, July 10.?Robert Howe, a young bookmaker's clerk, has been ar? rested on the charge of stealing a $10,000 case of diamonds from the jewelry es? tablishment of Carl Warnioke, No 12 West Twenty-eighth street.

Liverpool, July 18.?A terrible ac? cident occurred this morning oh the line of the Manchester Ship canal. A train passing along the railroad running near the canal fell over the latter's' em? bankment, near this city, killing eleven men who were working under the heading, In addition to the men killed many of the workmen were injured. The bodies of the killed were horribly mutilated. The accident is probably unprecedented in railway annals. Twenty-three cars laden with construc? tion materials, were being hauled by two engines down a heavy grade, at full speed. The pointsman, a lad of seventeen years, named Pratt, became confused and turn? ed the train upon the short siding 'lead? ing to the brink of the canal. The dis? tance was so short that the engineers had no time to check the momentum of the train, and it took a frightful leap over the embankment, a depth of forty feet, into the cutting. Pratt fled, shrieking, across the country, nearly frightened out of his senses by the awful results of his blander. He was captured by the police, and will be held for trial If you want a cotton gin which will bring you custom and moke a fine sam? ple, buy the Hall Self-Feeding.

HERE'S THE STORY IS A NUT SHELL I ON the night of May 7th, just as the clock struck twelve, the agonizing cries of an old man in death were heard near the TEN CENT STORE. We soon learned that it was Old Man Price dying from a stab, in the heart. His old enemy had tried swords with) him, and succeeded in drawing his heart's bloodw The deed was done by the same man who killed! Price's eldest son two years ago. Old Mr. Price was a very good old man in hia way, but hie name has been abused by his children; for it must be remembered that Mr. High Price commit? ted various depredations in his time on the unsus? pecting public. But now the old original Price him* sei f is gone, and who did it ? Why, the iud?fatigable 0. S. MINOR AND THE TEN CENT STORE, who are always in the ring for the people. But this time they are fighting for themselves. They've struck a knot, and can't saw through. They need the scads, and they must have them. Yes, they have determined that competition shall die the same death that the Messrs. Price. Or if not this, starva? tion is his lot. They begin today putting? Big Goods at Little Figures, without consideration of Price. Yours, hard run for money, C. S. MINOR and TEN CENT STORE.' P.
