Tho dissolution of tho Kussian Douma by tho Imperial Ukase brings llussia faoe to face with what may prove to be the most stupendous revo lution in its history. That Chicago man who Gods it im possible to get himself committed to jail ought to apply for an engagement with the South Carolina dispensary. Charleston Post. Do you think that would alter his dilemma? The Greenville News speaks of the newspapers of tho State being "diabol ically" opposed to each other on many questions at issue before the public. You may be a little mixed in your ad jectives, contemporary, but the oppres sion is not altogether inapt. ' Senator Tillman tollo ns that it bao been settled time and again that the dispensary is the best method of con trolling the whiskey evil. Will ho utilize some of his leisure vacation hours in devising the best method of controlling the graft evil under the dispensary regime? Our neighbor, the the Daily Mail, is always injecting some pertinent in quiry. It wants to know now if the government's label on the dan will show the pedigree of tba sausage. Why, no. tho tag on the inside of the can has been ruled the best evidence of this question. Editor Bill Stringer of the Belton free Pass says that figuratively speak* iog the Charleston people literally kept the Press Association on the water wsgon daring thoir session there last week. If that be ingratitude, let our Charleston friends make the most of it on his next cruise around their coasts. In the confusion of politics across the Savannah oar Georgia friends have evidently lost sight of all issues ex* cept Hoke Smith and Clarke Howell. Still, it would be indleoreet for South* Carolinians to throw stones at their Georgia neighbors in view of the nar* row range cf Issues taken by oar would* be statesmen. A well balanoed candidate will not try to ride one lone issne throagn this oempsign for the reason that it ?B lia*, ble to snow a puncture at any minnte. If the voters will msintsia a sane end discriminating equilibrium through oat the next few weeks and will refuse to be blinded to the realissnes, Ander* son county's influence in the legisla* (ure may become a matter of just and worthy pride an are all other Ander son institutions. It is not a strango ooincidenco that the old dispensary machine with its attendant string of grafters are lined up in thc fight against Mr. Frayser Lyon in his race for Attorney Goneral. Having felt tho point of his lance in other oonfiiotn, it is but natural that they should not wish to feel it again, tipped as it will bo with moro potent poison than it was when ho fought with abridged authority. At any rate he will have abundant cause for rejoicing over tho olass of enemies he is mak ing whatever tho result of the elec tion may be. Senator Tillman denounces as a traitor thc legislator who, being elec ted by a dispensary constituency, votCB to abolish the dispensar/ or to curtail the power of the dispensary machine. What must bc his estimate of the legislature who being elected on a striot prohibition platform ac cepts a dispensary substitute with its miserable train of rottenness and cor ruption! What no exalted opinion ho must heve of himself who as gov ernor whippod his suppliant toolo io tho legislature into traitorous turn coats! Is this the character of legis lators that Senator Tillman is working with might and main to have ?ont to Columbia next session? Yeo, aldermen should be paid for their services too. It is not right that they should be asked to give their time and attention to the city's business with no other reward or hopo of reward than the little permanent improvements they are able to place around their homes and the homes of their friends. We eau never expeot to get a man's best service until we compon?ate him somewhat for the Baonfito he is making; and so while the preoedent has been set of paying aldermen five dollars a meeting, and crhile the prient council was elected with this ooodition in force, it is aoihing amiss that it should so con? linne, and as a matter of Tight it ihould oontinne. The Intelligencer is gl-? that the rotors of the oity will ha' a chance low to increase the salary of the nayor from the ridiculously low sum >f $400 a year to $1200, and if we in erprot aright the spirit of the people if the oity the demand for the in ireaio is imperative, not only as a natter of public pride bat as a metter if justioe to our pnblio offioials from rhom we expeot and exact the moat althfal and nooeasiog labor. It hou'.d bs a matter of sh arno to the ity that the step has been delayed o long, necessitating the mayor or he city giving almost his entire time o his public duties and receiving in etnrn a scant and pitiful $400 a year rith liberal perquisites only of the reest and most absurd criticisms, tot's make the increase of salary nanimous, and then everybody will ave more right to exercise the right f eritioism if the mayor fails to do is full dnty. Now that thc oity elections aro over, let's ?put oar shoulder to the wheel and bend every energy to tho upbuilding of Auderaon. We have got a staving good mayor and board of aldermen to look after thc city's in terests, and every citizen can rest sat isfied that the interests of tho city will be perfectly safe in their bands, for they are all elena men and men of admitted business ability. There will be questions before them during their incumbency that will tax their sagacity and penetrative genius, but enjoying the confidence of the entire city as they do every assurance is felt that tho splendid combination of good judgment and honesty will pre vail in ail matters that will come bo fore them, and that a prosperous and BucccHsful administration stretohes out before them. Our bat is oil to thc handsome mayor and hin no lese handsomo council of whom the city is justly proud. As a- exponent of genuine consist ency, Senator Tillman is demonstrat ing himsolf to be a jewel of the first water. When in 18'JO, Senator Hamp ton was appoaled to to use his influ ence in preserving peace and harmony and in keeping down faotional strife, the cry went np that Senator Hamp ton had no business meddling with Stato politics and that he should re main in Washington although Con gress had adjourned. Senator Till man was loudest in his protests against this "outside interference," as it was characterized and by his vitriolic outbursts such a resentful spirit was manufactured that its de structive force found no restraint till Hampton was swept out of the Sen ate. Now, what is this same Senator Tillman doing if not meddling in the affairs of State polities-the v ry offonoo that he had Senator Hampton retired to private life for oommittiog? He is ?oiog about the State trying to defend his p t institution, the dispen sary, and to save it from defeat and demolition ? he is charging weakness sad incompetency on the part of every governor who has succeeded bim and of every legislature that has assembled sines his administration, [f the complexity of the great moral institution is so pronounced that no* body but Senator Tillman in tho gov* Bruor's ehair and a legislature of his 'noosing osn save it end keep it pure, it would seem the belter pert of wis* lom to kill it outright ana allow Son* itor Tillman to return to his duties at Washington where the people of the State need bis best and undivided lervioes. It would oertainly be the leoent and consistent thing for him o do, at ac y rate. Senator Tillman evidently has a bet* er recollection of matters pertaining o national policios than to that criti al period or the State's history when tis med partisans insulted the adored Vade Hampcon by howling him down rhen he attempted to pacify their urbulent and exeited spirits in 1890 luring the Tiilmss-Earie campaign, lia exparte vindication of his own ourse in that memorable contest and is lame explanation of the meeting t Aiken wheo he refused to ride io tho samo carriage with Gen. Hamp ton is alike discreditable to his senso of fairness to a dead foe as to his es timate of the intelligenceaod recollec tion of the people of the State. It ?ss to be ho^ed thst bi? life io the atmosphere of souatorial dignity and fairness, above the din of little poli ties, would certainly fire him with loftier aims than attempting to justi fy his shameful treatment of that grand old man by imputing to him such petty motivos and methods as Tillman ascribes to Bampton, but it seems that it is impossible to restrain him from returning to his wallow, though ho should bo forced to main tain tho truth of hiBtory even though the conscious sonso of the wrong per petrated by him goads him in remorse ful measures to clear his name if not his conscience of thc stigma that must rest upon it till history can be dis torted in his favor. COMPULS?KY EDUCATION AN ISSUE. The question of compulsory educa tion will be considered at thc next ses sion of the legislature, and in the se lection of candidates for the legislature the voters should study tho merits and demerite of this question from every point of view, and not permit the dc* signing politicians throughout the State to becloud the question so that it oannot be viewed dearly and with a discerning eye. It is manifestly to the advr.ctage of the selfish politician and boss that the white voter should remain in ignorance, and it is for this reason that he is opposing education. It ie essential to the perpetuity of his reign and dominion over tbs State, sud in order to prejudice the voter against education be deolares that it will work too muoh to the negro's ad vantage to pass a compulsory educa tion law. Those who ere familiar with the assiduity and the unanimity with which the negro is taking advan tage of tho educational facilities now afforded him will sea the ridiculous ness of this argument, for tho fasta are that every negro who is old enough and not too old to be reoeived into the Sohlte schools is taking advantage or is opportunities five days in every week the school is open, and neither reward nor hops of reward osn induce him to neglect tho training of his mind. While an educational law would not in?rense the attendance upon negro sohoOls over one per cent, it would compel the attendance upon sohoolscf thousands of illiterate white children who are earning a livelihood for whole families while -'father loafs around all day." It is this same father who conspires with the politioian to keep the oloud of ignorance over tho State, and that combination of euoaiflg and artful selfishnes must be combat ed at the polio nod on the hustings. It will be no easy job to defeat them, for they are strongly entrenched behind their battlements of blind prejudice and deafness to reason, but the effort must be made and there must be no fail ure. Taking as a basis the progress made by the negro in eduoation since he was disfranchised, it' will not ba a great many ye?rs till he will have pass ed the barrier between him and foll citizenship, tho educational qualifies tioD, and wheo that time .comes, as it certainly will, the negro will assert his rights at tho polls .-and white su premacy will bc at an end. The time to meet this question is right now. If your oandidate for the legislature is not an'advooate of compulsory educa tion, he is either an enomy of white supremaoy or is too blind to bo intrust ed in the halls of the State legislature. Legislative candidates who are clamb ering over each other to deolare their position on the dispensary aro put on notice that there will be a few other issues before the people this summer and that they will be expected lo oh clare their positions as clearly and as unreservedly on those issues as they have on the question of the dispen sary. While other questions will be presented later in the season, it will be well for them to find their bearings on the question of Compulsory Educa tion and cn the question as to the best pisa of scouring au equitable and just assessment of ?property for taxa tion. 'These two questions are more far reaching and are more important than the dispensary question and should be given the greater consider ation. THE DISPENSARY KOT THE ONLY ISSUE. It has evidehtly escaped the at tention of the really worthy gentle men who are offering themselves for Eublio favor in the way of legislative onors that the dispensary question is not'the only question with which the next legislature will have to deal, andi that their views on this one minor question ere not the only requisite desired by the people as their repre* sentatives. There are a great macy questions in oar mind that take pto of dence over the solution of the dis pone cry question, for the reason among others tftst publio sentiment has al ready aalved co a . large extent the whiskey question in that there is gen eral and wholesome disgust with the 3tato dispensary and a universal de mand for its abolition at the earliest opportunity. It is well to have in mind this ono qualifier, tio a ia a candi date, and to have him oa record es to bi* position on this ono question, bas tho people should not allow th? issue to become beclouded or * confused to the detriment and the erolusion of other real issues. The following from the Manning Times expresses oar sen timents exactly: "Wo are heartily sick and disgusted, with tho biennial campaign shibboleth -the dispensary* Surely .; there must be some other qualification necessary for a representative than whether ho ls for or against tbs dispensary. I? ?s animally a refieetioa upon the ?a telligenoe of a free people to permit politicians to blind then? with such campaign eries. ' "The people should nae above snob little matters, look upon them as mi nor details, and send men to ?be Gen eral Assembly, not because they are for or against the dispensary, bat be cause they ere men of intelligence,: of honor, ana of p anio tiara; any other kind can have no place in snob a body, and oaa only bring disert?is upon those who send them." . .
