' _______ THE ALLIANCE IN SESSION. * Benefit Th? Supremo Council of the National Alliance met in Indianapolis, Ind., on Tuesi day of last week. The Farmers' Mu? ?t Association was in session in ty at the same time. The third INffttple were there in large cum rs,: with the declared purpose of get il the Alliance and other labor organi? se as^^j?nTth^ffpsrty. ha f?srtures of the meeting that have li?ft the most interest were tho posi tion the Alliance would assume politi? cally, and the action that would be pi?d>by the anti-sub-treasury Alli? ed party, whose chief exponents are S, McAlister, of Mississippi, and ex 'resident Hall, of the Missouri Alliance. "SwJ-kithis latter, the anti-sab-treasury memj>ers were not allowed to participate in the sessions of the Supreme Council, and for this reason Messrs. McAllister, Hall, Nichols and other prominent iatSs, Withdrew from the Alliance as it now exists, and have Issued a call for a Convention of Alliancemen who are op? posed to" the sub-treasury scheme to ^eet in Memphis, Tenn., on 16th Decem next Thus, the Alliance leaders avo caused a split in ?heir own ranks, and alienated an intelligent and impor? tant element of the order from them by ' insisting in season and out of season that all members swallow bodily the sub ireaaury plank of the Ocala platfform. L , There can.-.be,little doubt that there was : a strong1 third party sentiment prevail ? ing in the Council, and except for the -. vigorous opposition of President Living? ston, of the George Alliance, the third < r party might possibly have captured the . - -Council ontright.' The following reso ' . iutkm was adopted by the Alliance, and l shows strongly the drift of that body : "We'riHiueat the members of Congress elected taxoueh Alliance influence not to ' . . enter any caucus for the selection of a - speaker unless the principles of the Ocala ?? platform axe mrde the test of entrance to that caucus." The word "instruct" was used in the of "request" in the original reso ution, o:r which Congressman Tom Wat , of Georgia, is said to be the author, but Livingston stoutly fought the reso? lution, and a compromise was reached by making the substitution above referred to. _Presidi_t Polk was re-elected Presi? dent, and: J. H. Louks, of Sonth Dakota, was elected Vice President. Looks is a member >f the National Committee of the Peoples party, and therefore his elec? tion as Vice President of the Alliance is gratifying: to the third party people. . On Friday the National Committee of the Peoples Party issued a jubilant ad? dress, saying that thoir party would put candidate!! for President and Vice-Presi nt in th3 field before June 1, 1892, and i the "'joining together and co-opera? tion of all the labor forces of the United tateSj^whether employed in tho work? shops, or in the mine or ou the farm," ^ cannot be .prevented by any "influence of the old political organizations, nor by any te^power of a.-jgrsgato dcapital." If there be - any hereabouts who are tired of the true ^- and tried I'emocracy, and who have been ^ too timid fc> join the Republicans, such - can now fiud trelr proper sphere, donbt " less, among' the ranks of the boastful Peoples' Party?an aggregation of the disgf untied and disappointed elements of Irtpolitical bodies. South Carolina may furnish some re? mits for this ring-streaked, speckled d spotted! party, if certain of the A1H leaders can exerJUhe influence they they possessTbnt the rank and file ^Altfiince will stand in solid phal ?pith the Democracy and remain as to the principles ofthat party as did *ey and their fethers in tb? stormy times of '76t ^hen men's souls were tried as never since the Civil War was fought. Our people are Democrats from princi? ple and cahnot be led or driven by the diciation of every man that Is a self-ap? pointed Jeoder. TETE COHPTROLLER-GENEKAI. ERRED. Jndge Hudson hus.decided that tho act of the Comptroller-General in ordering an auditor to assess bank stock at its market value for taxation after it has been returned by the president at its par value, which valuation has been accepted by the township board of assessors and the County board of equalization, is without the authority of law and thorefore is illegal and nugatory. The Newberry National Bank returned its stock for taxation at $100 per share, or at its par value. Comptroller-General Ellerbee ordered tbe auditor to raise this return from ?100 to ?160 per share, the market value of the stock, which order was obeyed. The Bank petitioned the Court for a writ of mandamus compelling the auditor to reduce the assessment to the returns made by the Bank and ac? cepted by the local board of assossors and the county board of equalization. The Court granted the mandamus, thereby granting the relief sought by the Bank. The Comptroller-General will carry the ase to the Supremo Court for final settle? ment. Judge Hudson's decision has nothing to do, as we understand, with determining whether a bank shall return its stock at its par value or at .its market value, but simply means that the Comptroller-Gen? eral acted illegally in setting aside the action of the local board of assessors and the County board of equaliza? tion in this matter, and ordering the auditor to assess property at figures which he (the Comptroller-Gener? al) may think is it-, taxable value. In other words, it means that the spirit ef our laws is ^ostile to a centralization of power, and that the authority of the Comptroller-General is not so supreme that he can over-ride tbe decision of local and county boards, and therefore assess property at such value as his individual judgment may direct;. It is an unmistak? able intimation to the Comptroller-Gen? eral that South Carolina considers "two heads better than ono" in assessing tho property of her citizens for taxation. The question of having separate railway coaches for the races in this State is again being agitated, and at this session of the Legislature it is probable that a bill pro? viding for such an arrangement will be I presented with a good chance of passage. I One member of the Board of Railroad Commissioners is heartily in favor of i such a measure. It is eminently proper that we as a Christian people and a God-fearing nation should suspend all business for one day and return thanks to the Divine Author of the Universe?to Him in whose hands are the destinies of tho - nations?for tbe man? ifold and varied blessings bestowed upon us as a nation and as individuals. This day (Thursday) is being observed gener? ally by the citizens of the United States as a Thanksgiving holiday. If any nation under the sun should be thankful for the distinguished rights, privileges, prosper? ity and pleasures they receive and enjoy ours is pre-eminently that nation. It is not a day for excesses in eating and drinking, nor should it be devoted entire? ly to the transient pleasures of this world. From ten thousand temples of God a grand chorus of praise and thanksgiving will ascend to heaven, and every citizen should join this godly multitude and swell the anthems - of praise and the chorus of thanksgiving and prayer to a yolumo that will testify alike to our ap? preciation of the blessings we enjoy and our sincerity in our devotions. As stated last week, business generally will be sus? pended in Anderson, thus giving every one an opportunity to attend the worship that will be held in the Churches and to spend the day in such way as conscience may dictate. The views expressed by "A Farmer" in the Advocate of late issue, which we reproduced in these columns, and for which he has been censured by a corres? pondent of the same paper, are strictly orthodox not only from a purely Demo? cratic stand point but from a purely Al liance stand point as well. It will be re? membered that "A Farmer" took the po? sition that the tariff question was the most important subject before the Amer? ican people, as to it was duo the most greivons burdens laid upon tho people. Therefore, no other question should be allowed to divert attention from it, not? withstanding the National' Economist's declaration that there was nothing in the tariff question, and that it served the purpose of politicians only in keeping alive sectional hatred and animosity. Secretary T. F. TiUman, of the National Alliance, addressed the Alliance of Indi? anapolis last week, and said the three "T's," viz., tariff, trust and transportation, were the burdens bearing heaviest upon the people (all imposed by the Republi? cans,) and of these the present tariff was the most burdensome, and therefore the most iniquitous. He suggested as reme? dies three "C's," viz., change the tariff, crush trusts, control transportation, all of wbioh is solid Democratic doctrine, un? less he meant to control transportation by ownership of the railroads. Secretary TUlman knows that the primary and es? sential step towards "crushing trusts" must be to "change the tariff," as it is the tariff that makes trusts possible. We think the position taken by "A Farmer" ?and we are sure there are hundreds of others who maintain a like position?is tbat he will be a good Alliance man only bo long as he can be a good Democrat at the same time; that he will not tolerate independent or exclusive political action or third partyism in the Alliance; that Dr. Macune cannot dictate politics or policies to him ; that he v. ill do his own thinking; that- he is a Democrat always and everywhere. "A Farmer" stands on safe ground. The Tariff Is the Issue, Time enough has elapyed since the fall elections to admit of calm judgment con? cerning the results. And the sooner our leading men and tbe manses read calmly these results and understand them?their relations to antecedent event and proba? ble relation to tho future?the bettor for all concerned. Most of the leading papers and politi? cians have given utterance to their esti? mates of their results and what they sig? nify for the future. Most of those who have spoken have spoken well, and with greater or lees degree of accuracy. In our judgment the results show, as has been pertinently remarked by almost aU the Democratic and Republican papers, that the tariff is not a dead issue. It has not been a dead issue for forty years. It has more than once been crowded into the background for awhilo: but, like all questions that involve a principle of jus flee and equity as between different classes of people in the same country, it will again and again rise up to plague the government until it is settled right. ? ? ? it ? The Democratic party must return to its doctrine of a tariff for revenue only, or as near to free trade as is possible. It cannot win beforo the people in a contest" on the tariff where there is less than 15 per cent, in the ad valorem tax actually in operation under a Republican admin? istration and that proposed by the Mills bill.?Cotton Plant. ? Carp culture has not proved popu? lar in California. They breed as last as English sparrows, and their numbera have become a nuisance. Tho demand for them as food declined, for they are inferior in flavor to that of tho favorite local fish, but the carp's voraciousness ac Suired for it the reputation of a scavenger, feeders rbandoned the work of propa? gation and turned their carp into the nearest water courses with the result that the waters of tbo State were in a short time infested with the greedy fish. Now, it is said, thoy swarm in all the tide sloughs adjacent to San Fran? cisco, and shoals of them aro to he soon in the Sau Joakinand Sacramento rivers. One fishing club, indeed, is so heartily tired of the carp as to talk of draining its j lake and? killin g all the conozloqa fish, I Preparations at Clemson. Tho report of tho Board of Trusteos of Clemson College will bo ono of much in? terest. Lost evening Governor Tillman and Secretary of Stato Tindal returned, from tho cqllego, whore they attended the final mooting of the board, and secured all the data for the report. From Governor Tillman mnch of this data waa obtained, and is given below. As to the condition of tho work, tho chemical laboratory is finished and partly equipped ; tbo mechanical hall is done, as are three brick houses for professors' res? idences, seven wooden frame residences, one 2-room frame cottages, and six 3- room frame cottages. The experimental station houso and barn is finished, and the cow barn is ready and fitted with silos and machinery. It contains accommodations for 100 animals. The dormitory is completed, containing 166 sleeping rooms, 14x17 feet in size; a dining nail 200x42 feet, and other rooms. These rooms are yet to bo plastered, and this will be dono in the next fortnight. The main building is ready for the roof, and work has been begun on two moro professors' brick residences. The amount left over from last year was ?25,813. Including this the receipts from all sources were, during tbo year from November 1, 1890, to November 1. 1S91, ?109,834.61. The amount expended during the year was ?106,127.26, leaving a balance of ?3,767.40. In addition to the expenditures mention? ed above, ?11,224 was expended during the year in performing the duties of the old department of agriculture, which de? volved upon the trustees when the de? partment was abolished. This was spent for guano and fertilizer analyses, veterin? ary attention, and other matters. Governor Tillman says the board ruado careful estimates for the future, and an amount between ?65,000 and ?70,000 will yet be required to complete the work. They expect to put up twelve professors' houses, and so far only tho few mention? ed above have been completed. Tempo? rarily, therefore, the few buildings ready will be well crowded. He says they intend to have everything in readiness for the opening of the col? lege by the 1st of February, or, if not at that time, by March 1. at any rate. Applications for admission still contin? ue to pour in, and now they number very nearly a thousand. Here are the figures by Counties: Anderson 57, Abbeville 89, Aiken 16, Barnwell 49, Beaufort 1, Berkeley 10, Charleston 9, Chester 23, Chesterfield 5, Clarendon 18, Colleton 20, Darlington 15, Edgefield 52, Fairfield 15, Florence'3, Georgetown 7, Greenville 44, Hampton. 22, Horry 2, Kershaw 7, Lancaster 14, Laurens 38, Lexington 5, Marion 14, Newberry 38, Oconee 32, Orangebnrg 73, Pickens 35, Richland 14, Spartanbnrg 15, Sumter 32, Union 9, Williamsburg 13, York 5, unclassified 71. The board passed the following very important resolution: "Resolved: "If upon the opening day of the session,, more applicants report than can be admitted in the dormitories, that the number admitted from each County be in the proportion of five to each member of the House of Represen? tatives from such County; and in the event that enough applicants shall not re? port to fill out a County's quota, then the vacancies shall be given to the Counties having an excess, preference being given to those who applied first: Provided however, that when applicants from a County aro in excess of its quota, the fit? ness of the applicants for Collegiate work, upon examination will govern."?Colum? bia Siate, August 20. A Horse Swapper Bad. Crawfordsvillb, Ind., Nov. 22.? Yesterday afternoon ex-Councilman Josh Mackenzie filed the necessary papers in' the clerk's, office for a suit against the Crawfordsville Journal for ?2,000 dam? ages. It seems that a few weeks ago the Journal published a story of a "hoss" in which Mackenzie figured, alleging that he bought a horse that had no teeth, a fact which the old gentleman failed to discover until after the trade had been consummated. In order to sustain life and health it was necessary to feed the animal soup. It was alleged the horse preferred oyster soup above all others as a diet, but as a matter of economy he was generally dined upon nectar of bean. He no w alleges in his complaint that his peace of mind is gone, his reputation as a horse buyer is ruined, and chat he is an object of ridicule wherever he goes, and is pointed out by friend and foe as the only ownorofa bean-soup-eating horse. ? In Spain there are only 3,231 children in the Sunday Schools. ? The people of the United States con? sume, it is said, 200,000,000 bottles of pickles annually. ? At the recent Convention of the Christian Alliance in Hartford, the Rev. R. Eelso Carter announced the second ooming of Christ within four years. ? One of the most singular looking oreatures that ever walked the earth or "swam the waters under the earth" is the world-famous'man-faced crab of Japan. Its body is hardly an inch in length, yet the head is fitted with a face which is the perfect counterpart of that of a Chinese coolie; a veritablo missing link, with eyes, nose and mouth clearly defined. ? The Florida orange crop is now bes? ing shipped to New York and other lo? calities. The yield of the State this year was over 3,000,000 boxes, and an average box holds oue hundred and fifty oranges. About half of the crop will be sent by rail to the Western States. Chicago is a great consumer of the Florida orange and also of the California orange. ?Canary birds are a good deal troubled by mosquitoes. The toes of the bird are amply provided with small veins, and as the membrane between the toes is ex? tremely thin an observant mosquito may see his favorite fluid circulating in plain Bight. A bird with a swollen hind toe was brought to a bird fancier recently and he pronounced the trouble poison-' ing from a musquito bite. He said the thing was not uncommon. ? Moringen, the Swiss village which has been destroyed by fire, met with a similar misfortune in 1879. Siu.cc that date, a native of the village tells a cor? respondent, the precautions against fire have been extraordinary. Whenever the wind blow from a dangerous quarter i smoking was forbidden, and at dusk, with few exceptions, al. fires were order? ed out, the village smithy was stilled. tbo bakery ovens had to be damped down, and the shops would bebeseiged with customers anxious to buy what bread they could. The reason for this was the destitution to which the inhabi? tants were reduced after the last fire, and fears are entertained that tho consequen? ces may be equally disastrious now. Merit"wins.
