Intelligencer. rublislicd every Wednesday. J. P. CLINKSCAI.ES, i EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, i PROPRIETORS. TX HMS : ONE YEAH, - - - - SI 50 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, MAY 14. 1902. Somebody has been counterfeiting postal cards. It is difficult to under stand how he managed to make them any cheaper than the ones issued by the government. It is time that you were hustling off to the Charleston Exposition, lt is now at its be?t and Charleston is at its best, and you will sec and hear enough to last you the balance of this year. Col. Wm. J. Bryan has declared that he will not run for president in 1904j but he gives the public to under stand that he is going to move heaven and earth to have the Kansas City plutform ro-adopted. The whiskey trust has decided to revive thc national protective associa tion, r-tartcd in Chicago in lSSij to make war on thc prohibition move ment, and try to convince the public that prohibition laws are ineffectual. m . a - The Democratic party lost a valu able member and the world an all around good fellow, in the best sense of the word, when Congressman Amos J. Cummings of New York died. Like so many other good fellows, Amos was a printer and newspaper man. It is both cowardly aud inhumau to plead as an excuse for brutality to ward the Filipinos their brutal treat ment of American prisoners. The world expects barbarity from Bavagc and semi-savage peyple, butit neither expects nor excuses it in those as highly civilized as Americans. Thc city of St. Tierre, Island of Martinquc, West ludies, was com pletely wiped out of existence last Saturday by the sudden eruption of a volcano. 30,000 people were killed and 50,000 arc homeless aud huugry. lt is one of the greatest disasters in the world's history. Congress has appro priated $2U0,000 for ibo relief of the unfortunate people. Crumpacker, of Indiana, maj not be a prophet but he is without honor in his country on his specialty at least. The State convention of Republicans in Indiana recently considered the Crumpacker scheme of investigating suffrage conditions in the South and by a large majority voted against the proposition. This would probably kill the thing in Congress if it were not already quite dead. There is bing in the way of household supplies which has not been made dearer by the protection afforded monopolies and legislation in favor of classes. The times are sup posed to be good, but thc man who keeps a family on $1,000 a year linds that it will go no farther than ;?800 would a year ago, and its purchasing capacity is steadily decreasing. The trusts and the tariff are responsible for this. There was a few weeks ago a con sioerable flurry in the South over tho Crumpacker resolution to examine into the election laws of the Southern States with a view to the reductiou of the congressional representation of those States that have imposed suf frage qualifications that will result in disfranchising *i large part of the negro vote. We never had any idea that this resolution would be passed, and it is now generally regarded as a dead issue. A Pennsylvanian tells of a practi cal reform in his State that is ?rood enough to be put in operation every where. II?- aid : "All uv.r Pennsyl vania anti-swearing i-oeietics ure being formed, and tin- people an- joining them hy the hundreds. The object of tin- societies is t" briug a'nout a cessation of profanity in ordinary con vcrsation. 1 believe that a vast deal of good will come <>i' this movement, and hopi; to see it spread to other parts of the I nion. The fact is '.'nat a large per cent of men usc profane speech to an extent that they scarcely realize. A gentleman ought not to mar his talk with coarse and meaning less expletives, and I believe tho day is coming when frequent oaths will not be tolerated in decent societies. -mt O ? - Republican papers all over the country have been advising the people to curtail their consumption of food as a method of fighting the trusts, but what Republican paper has urged thc Republican Congress to remove the tariff on trust products? What He publican paper has urged the admin istration to enforee the Federal anti trust law in every district throughout the United States wherever that law was being violated? The Republican purty, which created and fostered these monopolistic organizations at the sacrifice of thc people's rights, is owned body and soul by thc combines which it bas created. No honest or effective anti-trust actiou is to be ex pected from Republicanism. The Democratic party must make thc light in the people's behalf. If the evil working of the trust system is to be remedied the remedy must come from Democratic action. The Repudiation of Tillman. Kdilor Intelligencer : Will you kindly publish the enclosed clipping which ap peared in the New York World, under J the above eaptiou, on tho sth lost , and permit my own viewH to follow: Tho Democratic Senators who walked out of the Senate ('bamber In a body yeaterday wben Tillman, of South Caro lina, began to pitchfork the Kngllsh language in a characteristic whoop ou the race issue, and remained out of .'t until he had finished, when they walked back lu a body, did their party * ftefvlce. They made lt clear that Till m rm tn ni ia not Democracy. Kven the Hui'.th Caro lina Senator, thick skinned as he has HIID wn himself to be, munt have felt the point of thia sharp rebuke. This has heeu the opinion of quito a number of people in this mate, and while hit? followers bnve been slow In finding lt out, they are opening their eyea to tue truism "that all the people cannot bo fooled all tho time." If fooling alono the pcoplo wan tho only charge to be made against such a politi cian, the more enlightened voter would not lind fault with him, but the State, the great State of South Carolina, is be ing rebuked when her Senior Senator i-, snubbed like no other man has ever boen snubbed in tho Senate chamber, and all on account of having 1 represen tative who misrepresents us. To call him a I'omocratle would bean Insult to tho fathers of Democracy who struggled for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiuoss. If populism is distasteful lo some of his worehlppers, how would the term pessi mism suit? A pessimist is his own worst enemy. He refuses to walk in the light, but willingly shuts his eyes to the progress of civilization and to the beau ties of thc universe, closes his ears to tho joyous sounds of life and to tho music of nature and turns away from everything that would prove tn an unbiased mind the falsity of his creed. Though fortune has showered her gifts upon him, though he may possess every advantage that wealth and education can give, though he be young, healthy and vigorous, the pes simist looks only for shadows. Is it any wouder that the Democratic party J aa butlered defeat twice when led by such men as Jones and Td 1 man. Is lt not high lime to ?top lighting ghosts and shadows and elect men who will bean honor aud not a disgrace to the Statt ? T?e Stale Convention to convene soon ahould muzzle this autocrat or dictator, rather than force new Iron (dad oaths opon good men who are to be candidates for otllce, and who would be ruled out If tho "dictator" did not approve of him or them, or, more plainly, if their passport was not properly countersigned. If the Democratic party can realize that to win two years hence tn the national election we must bo organized on real issues and not on mere sundown, it will cut IOOHB from populism, vulgarism and Ti I lu?ante na. The delegates to the Convention can pave the way if they wish to seethe party united in pure Democracy. 0. GeisbeJg. They Should be Cared Tor. Editor of the Intelligencer : The Pen sion laws can be improved on in many particulars, but there is certainly a class left out who should be cared for. They are the veterans who have lost nn arm or leg in bnttle, and have an income just above the present limits, whieh excludes them. These men and their families are HU Hering this loss every day of their lives, and should bo compensated tor this loss. There are not many of them, ned the amount will not be much to tho tnxpnyers but a great deal to them. Some of them have property just above the limit, but under mortgage, which should be taken into consideration. These brave, mod est men have never asked for this aid, but it is no reason why it should not he nccorded them. It would bc a good subject tor campaign discussion during the canvass this your.
