Irby is Chairman, met in Columbia on Tuesday night of last week. The complection of this Commitee is strongly "reform,-' and there has been some speculation as to what action the body would adopt in reference to the "break" made by the "strayed outs," who, it will bo remembered, voted for Judge Haskell year before last in prefer? ence to Capt. Tillman. Tho first hours of the meeting were uneventful, but when the timo came to detormino tho party standing of tue Judge Haskell party there occurred con? siderable speech-making, .exhibiting va? rious sentiments and feelings, as rccon ciliatory and unfriendly, harmonious and bitter. Resolutions that all "white Democrats" might be received into tho Democratic fold, who would take an oath that "he is a Democrat and will support the nomi? nees of tho Democratic party," and "re? quiring all candidates to abide by the Democratic primaries," were passed, with tho following amendment: "It is the sense of this Committee that in the interest of peaco and a united De? mocracy no Democrat shall be excluded from participation in said primary be? cause of differences during tho last, elec? tion." The resolutions and amendment are said to have been dictated by Chairman Irby. The amendment seems to have been the point on which greaf ^st opposi? tion arose, Col. John C. Haskell declar? ing that "it simply means, when boiled down, that these men ["straight-outs"] are not to be punished for their wrong? doings, if there were any such." The action of tho Committee in re? quiring the taking of the oath above was not unreasonable. We conmss we do not fancy the idea of having a test oath forced on a man before he.can become a Demo? crat, for the very foundation of freedom lies in a man's untrammeled right to vote or not to vote a3 he pleases or as conscience dictates, and wo are not sur? prised that when this right is interfered with there should develop opposition to it. Howover, tbo majority of the Com? mittee were supporters of Tillman, whom they believed, we suppose, was the regu? lar Democratic nominee. They thought Judge Haskell and his supporters were bolters from the regular ticket, and hence to provide against such action in the future they have prescribed the oath above. The chances are the Haskellitus would have acted as did the Tillmanites under like conditions. The unwisdom of requiring this oath will be apparent in a year or two, and before long the Executive Committee will revoke that clause. It is important now that the white people of the State get together again and stay together. The Greenville News is not "quixotic" when it warns of the dangers of a split among the whites and consequent negro supremacy. Under the system of Demo? cratic primaries that will prevail for the coming election it need cot be dangerous nor humiliating for all white Democrats to take tho oath as prescribed, which must he taken by TiMmanites as well, as by Haskellites. The action of the Committee was wise in their opinion, no doubt, and it is the part of wisdom that all white men who des;re to prevent a split in the Demo? cratic party submit to the actio of the Committee. Within tho party let all fights be made and all differences settled, and let us remain a united people in a "solid South." Senator Daniel B. Hill, of New York, presented himself at the bar of the U. S. Senate on Thursday of last week and was sjivorn in as a member of that body. Mr. ?Hill enjoys .the distinction of having been Governor of New York;and a Sena? tor from Now York at the same time. Hill is a brainy man, and we are not sur? prised that he has Presidential aspira? tions.

Memphis, Tenn., January 9.?The con? vention of cotton growers after a recess last evening listened to tbo following report from the committeo on resolu? tions : "First?We recommend that this Con? vention do proceed to organize a perma? nent organization to bo known as "The Cotton Growers' and Merchants' Associa? tion." "Second?Wo recommend that said organization shall consist of ono presi? dent, a treasurer and ono vice-president from each of the twelve cotton-growing States. "Third?We recommend that there be local organizations of said Cotton Grow? ers' and Merchants' Association, organiz? ed in over}* State, County and town in the cotton growing region, a'nd that said local organizations shall where possible and practicable, co-operate with any farmers' organization now in existence. "Fourth?Wo recommend that the acre? age planted in cotton for tho year 1s92 be twenty per cent, less than that planted in 1891. "Fifth?Wo further recommend that each and every farmor or plantrr within said cotton growing States do plant more diversified crops and especially take ex? traordinary precautions to tho end that they shall produco an abundance of corn, peas, hay, oats and such other necessaries for his own and his family's supplies and we here appeal personally and individual? ly that each and every person favoring this movement do send his aid and influ? ence to further this end. "Sixth?In view of tho fact that the mercantile interest of the South is large? ly hold responsible, whether rightfully or not, for the planting of cotton verging upon the exclusion of other products, it is suggested and hopefully urged upon them to contribute by their advice and in other substantial ways to bringing about this coveted reform in our farming meth? ods. "Seventh?We recommend that a com? mittee of five be appointed by the presi? dent, Whoso duty it shall be to draft such a Constitution and by-laws as are neces? sary to carry into effect the objects of this organization. '?Eighth-We recommend thateach mem? ber and delegate to this Convention usb their united efforts to carry into effect these resolutions and that thoy urgo their people at home to strive for the general good, carrying out the spirit and purpose of the same. "Ninth?We further recommend that tbe address delivered by Col. d. G. God? win be received and endorsed by this as? sociation and that the same bo published with the proceedings." As soon as tho reading of the resolutions had been finished a half dozen gentlemen rose to their feet and pandemonium reigned. After a vigorous use of the ga? vel, however, the Chairman recognized Mr. Lane, of Mississippi, who moyed that the resolutions be adopted. The motion prevailed, after which the resolutions wore taken up for discussion seriatim. After a long discussion, participated in by ail the leading spirits of tho convention, on section four of the resolutions, they were finally adopted. At 11.30 o'clock the convention adjourn? ed sine die, and proceeded in a body to the office of the Memphis Appeal-Ava? lanche, where they were fittingly enter? tained. Two Hundred Men Killed. McAllister, Indian Territory, Jan.. 8.?An appalling disaster occurred at 5 o'clock last evening, at mine No. 11, owned by the Osage Coal and Mining company, at Krebs, 4J miles east of here, in wnich 200 men were killed and many mor j wounded. At the time of the ex? plosion there were 830 men In tbe shaft, most of whom were waiting for the cage to take them out. The foot of the shaft is one mass of dead bodies. Eighty-five men came out by an old entry and forty two were saved by the shaft, most of whom are more or less burned or bruis? ed. The day men had just changed off and reached the surface, when a puff of smoke was seen to issue from tbe mouth oftheshaft. Immediately after this a terrific report followed, which could be heard for some distance in the surround* ing country. The men who were around the mouth of tho shaft knew instinctively what it meant, and at once sounded an alarm. A throng soon gathered, but there was nothing they could do to rescue the un? fortunates. The mouth of tho pit is surrounded by a crowd of men, women and children, nearly all of whom have relatives in the mine. Their grief is pitiable, and their 6rayers and cries are agonizing as they eseechthe rescuing party to increase their efforts to save their loved ones. It is believed that tho explosion was caused by firing a shot when tho mine was partially filled with gas. A dispatch dated 9 o'clock this morn? ing, says that 143 miners had been res? cued. The men were greatly exhausted, and some-of them were unconscious,, but revived soon after roaching fresh, air. A later dispatch received at the office of the Osage Mining company in St. Louis, says that a hastily constructed cage had been placed in operation, and the work of rescuing tho entombed miners is being expedited as rapidly as circumstances will permit. The crowd about the mouth of the pit has increased to over 1,000 people. As most of the miners are Swedes, Norwegians and Italians, the mine officials have great difficulty in preserving order and keep? ing them at such a distance as will allow the men to run the cage without interrup? tion. Alive rritli H*.art Exposed. ^^LYoric, January 8.?Whon John J' new^kjboiler maker, consulted physi Norris, a^Kfeyelt Hospital last Novem cians at Ro?d<discovered that tho somo ?? one of thenBferim$ker was suffering ong boir^fBu^isy. Its seat was ?.voi the region of the heart, failed to give Norris lainedtohim that e to pursue, and remove The Mason Cotlon Harvester, The following certificate- which has been given the Mason Cotton Harvester Com? pany by the Hon. Patrick Walsh, Presi? dent of the Augusta Exposition, is a gratifying endorsement of the practical usefulness of their machine for picking cotton, which will be manufactured and placed on tho market during the coming season; AugustA, Ga., December 10,1S0J. Tho Mason Cotton Harvesting Machine was operated in a field of cotton in tho Augusta Exposition grounds November 12 and 13, 18$?1, and I am informed gath? ered tho cotton from tho stalks at the rate of 300 pounds an hour, or 3,000 pounds per working day often hours. Tho cotton harvested was fairly free from trash, was ginned without cleaning, and produced lint which was classed as middling cotton. Whilo tho machine does not gather, at one passage, all tho open cotton, it leaves the plants and unopen bolls uninjured. The essential feature of tho machine is contained in the picking fingers, which are so construct: d that they discriminate between tne open cotton and tbo unopen bolls and foliago of the plant, thus afford? ing the opportunity of gathering the cot? ton by machinery from the time it first opens to the end of the season. Tho machine as at present constructed is not beyond improvement, but its dis? criminating principle is both ingenious and practical, and its capacity for work is sufficient to render it a valuable auxillia ry to the slow and oxponsivo process of hand-picking.

Seattle, Wash., January G.?The in? vestigations, which have shown the exis? tence of slavery among the Japanese in Victoria, have been followed with similar results in this city. Yesterday the first decisive step was taken to stop the im? portation of Japanese women for immor? al purposes. The United States authori? ties learned that a man named Ithaki bad gone to Yokohama about seven months ago and purchased three Japaneso wo? men of their parents for ?90 each. Ho brought thom to this country, saying that one was his wife and that the other two were sisters. Thov w-ero used as tho ba? sest slaves. The facts were extorted partly from tbo women and partly from the owner and yesterday Ithaki was arrested. Tho Jap? anese Consul has requested tho aid of the Ministerial Association here in breaking up the system of slavery. Tho Christian? ized Japanese in Seattle say that all their countrymen who como to the United States as laborers are held in subjection by a powerful secret society which, play? ing on their superstitions, compels them to pay tribute. About 150 Japanese women in Seattle have been sold outright by their parents and brought over here by their purcha? sers. These Japanese women live in the part of Seattle known as White Chapel, which everybody coming from the North? ern Pacific Depot or the steamboat land ing passes._ His Horse Recognized Him. Atlanta, Ga , Jan. 8.?Mr. A. R. Hill, a leading lawyer of Danville, 111., is in the city on a peculiar mission. He came to recover an old lamily horse that was 6tolen from him on December 21, 1890, and which he has followed over one thou? sand miles. The thief that stole the horse carried it to Indianapolis and sold it to some horse dealers. They sold it to some Atlanta stock dealers who shipped it to this city, A gentloman from Mr. Hill's home who was visiting in the city saw the horse and recognized it, and at once noti? fied the owner. Mr. Hill came to sec about the much be? loved animal. On his arrival he was in? formed that his iiorse was in the stables of Hill & Walker, and that he would haye to grove beyond a doubt tho identity of it efore he could hove it. Wir'n some other gentlemen Mr. Hall proceeded to the sta? bles. When he walked into ihe stall tbe horse neighed and pranced, and when Mr. Hill held out hia bund the horse licked it with seemingly as much passion as ever one peraon kissed another. The gentlemen presont were astounded at the instant recognition of the master by the faithful old family horse after a full year's absence. The gentleman who bad possession of tbe horee told Mr. Hill to take it, remarking: "You need not iden? tify tbe horse; ho has identified you. I would bate to be a murderer and own that horse. I might run up on him some day and could never conceal my identity." The horse will be shipped to Danville to? day and Mr. Hill will follow him. A lied-Handed Warning, The following, dated from this city and bearing tho stamp of "special corresoon dence," appears in a copy of the Now York Voice, tbe leading temperance pa? per of the country. The copy was sent to the governor's office, and pointing to it is the warning forefinger of a large hand, put on with red ink. "The Straigbtout Democrats opposed prohibition to a man in the recent fight over the Childs biil in this State, while the Tillman Democrats favored it in a mild form, as proposed in the Timmer man (Senate) bill. Governor Tillman was evidently afraid to allow his admin? istration to commit itself on the question, and while he was said to have suggested and commended tho Timmerman Bill, bo is evidently pleased that nothing was done. "The great question now is whether prohibition will enter politics another year. Secretary of State Tindal, who is known as a shrewd, far-seeing man, and who is, as well, a prominent member of the Alliance, expressed tho opinion the other day that it would. It is stated that Mr. L. D. Childs, the father of prohibition in thisStato, will become a candidate for Governor in the next campaign. Ho wants the nomination of the reform, or "Tillman" Democrats, and wants prohi? bition incorporated in tho platform."? Columbia State, January 12. The World's Fair.

This measure is of no common, plebian oripin. The Emperor William is its author and its champion. After studying the evil effects of drunkenness in his empire, lie has resolved, with the consent of his law? makers, to imprison all habitual drunkards until they are cured, and to make public houses liable for damages when they sell liquor to drunken men. It is possible that the bill may not be? come a law. The point is made that it is impossible to justly classify drunkards, separating the occasional from the fre? quent, and the frequent from the habitual, and the beery boozers from the brandy drunkards. Still, the defeat of tho bill, or its unsatisfactory results as a law, will not wholly check the cause of temperance re? form in Germany. Tho very fact that the Emperor is known to favor extreme renio dies for tho liquor evil will inilncnco pub? lic opinion in lavor of temperance, and public opinion is the supreme human law everywhere. But it does not follow that the Emperor is a genuine reformer who deserves the en? dorsement of Christian pulpits and good people. He is determined to make his people temperate for the same reason that influenced Mohammed when he required his followers to be total abstainers. Like the prophet, William is the embodiment of the military spirit. He knows that drunk? enness unfits men for soldiership, and he wants them to be soldiers or nothing. This is why he is working so zealously for temperance. He is not trying to make better men, but bettor soldiers?stalwart, disciplined fellows, who will kill or be killed when he gives the order. So much for his motive. It Is not a good one, but it is in his power to set an example that will be largely followed by men in high places. That is the best part of the whole business. When Emperors and nobles favor temperance society will favor it, and the masses will follow on the same line. So, it is probable that some good will come out of this crude attempt at reform after oil.?Atlanta Constitution. The Doctrine of Future Punishment. One of the striking characteristics of the liberal tendencies oftha times, in relig? ion, is tho very general disposition, not only to ignore, but to deny and repudi? ate) tho idea of future punishment. It is said that tho Scr\>tural doctrine of fu? ture punishment is contrary to the jus? tice of God. The advocates of this viow have formed to themselves a certain view of the character and attributes of God, and they do not hesitate to declare that the idea of future punishment is contrary to that character; they say that God could not and would not mako people in order to damn them. That certainly is not the doctrine, the Calvanistic confes? sion of faith of our Presbyterian friends to the contrary notwithstanding. The doctrine is simply that God has made us free agents and mado our happiness or misery to depend upon our conduct, Life and death are set before us ; if we choose life we shall be happy; if we choose death wo shall be unhappy?mis? erable?and it will be our own fault. The only real and difficult question in this caso is, has God made us free agents and placed our happiness or misery in our own hands? But this question is answered by our own consciousness. We know that wo aro free agents, and we know without the testimony of revela? tion, that our Maker has placed within us a monitor that indicates that some ac? tions aro right and others wrong. And we know from experience that when we do right wo are happy; when wo do wrong we are unhappy?miserable?ac? cording to the degree of guilt incurred. Wo know that when we violate our con? scientious convictions wo do it deliber? ately, and that wo might have done oth? erwise. Now romorso is itself a kind of hell, and wo bring it upon ourselves, and there cannot bo any injustice in it on the part of God. But it is said tho idea of hell is contrary to the goodness I and mercy of God. It is impossible to suppose that so good and merciful a Being would inllict such fearful punish? ment upon his creatures. But this mer? ciful Being has mado us capable ofsuf j feting, and as a matter of fact we do suf I fer, intensely, In this world; and we suffer the consequences of our wicked actions. Bishop Butler's argument from analogy is unanswerable. The Christian doctrine of future punishment for the in? corrigibly wicked is in perfecr. accordance with the dealings of Providence as mani? fested in tho constitution and course of nature. If it be said that the Christian idea of punishment is disproportionod to the sin wo see tho same apparent dispro? portion in this world. In fact God has I so constituted us that, sometimes, from some slight indiscretion, some apparent? ly small aberration from tho path of duty, a whole life of wretchedness and misery is entailed upon tho unhappy victim. Wo have hells on earth, and the same reasoning that would do away with future punishment would, if consistent? ly carried out, do away with the misery and wretchednoss which constitute tho hells of this world. But these hells exist, exist by the permission of Almighiy God; aud although this argument; from analogy may not prove the fact offuturo punishment, it is a full and conclusive answer to the objection against tho idea of futuro punishment founded on the goodness and mercy of God.?Catkolic Review.
