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." . .
