Too much policy has ruined many a politician. Reward your friends for services rendered; faithfully fulfill your promises; show no favors to your .enemies, and make a clean sweep of the "other fellows" from office. Demo crats lor office under u Democratic President. Fire the Republicans out. Mr. John T. Miller of Abbeville says that we are going to have heavy frost in May. The rule is "Fog in March frost in May," and that we have had three heavy fogs in March. It is a sign which he says never fails, and he predicts that we wont have any fruit this year. Can't Brother Hemphiil suppress the evil genius? Occasionally a rascal is discovered in the Democratic party, but he is sure of punishment when found. Recently Al derman Jachne, of New York, sold his vote for S20,000 and now he is in limbo. We are glad he was caught up with, and we hope he will be severely pun ished. We are just as much opposed to Democratic rascals'as any other kind. We hasten to extend our apologies to our esteemed cotemporary, the Wnlter .Jboro Southern Star, for having seem ingly spoken lightly or unkindly of two of Colleton Counties' honorable sons. We had no idea of being unkind, and what we said about Messrs! Perry and Howell with other gentlemen, was said more to condemn the early open ing of the political campaign than io object to either of the gentlemen nam ed as candidates._ Caft. James I. Waddell, com mander of the Maryland fishery forces, died Tuesday night at his home in An napolis of congestion of the brain. He was a native of North Carolina and 62 years old. Capt. Waddell graduated , at the naval university in 1849, having previously served at Vera Cruz against the Mexicans. He served in the United States navy until the Confederate war broke out, when he resigned and enter ed the Confederate navy, being placed in command of the famous Shenandoab, with which he waged war against vessels in the Arctic seas, destroying much valuable commerce. The New York Sun tersely puts it this way: "In the Senate yesterday, Joe Brcwn of Geogia made some true and highly pertinent remarks in re gard to removals from office. The President's fault, he said, was that too few and not too many office-holders had been put out. All those not in ac cord with the Administration ought to be kicked out, and the people would back up the President in putting in friends of the Administration and driv ing out Republicans." If the President will try Joe Brown's remedy he will find it will do the Administration, the Democracy und the country a world of good. _ The oppointment of John II. Oberly, of Illinois, to be a civil-service com missioner is hailed with delight among Democrats, but the mugwumps will hold up their hands in holy horror, and cry out probably, "Good Lord, Mr. Cleveland, why did you not give us Gen. Iliggins at once." Mr. Oberly wits, until he received an appointment as superintendent of Indian schools, the chairman of the Democratic State central committee of Iilinois, and, politi cally speaking, he is one "of the boys." He has been connected with various newspaj>ers in Illinois, und as a politi cal worker few men out west are his equal. Maneuvering. The movements on the Presidential field at the present time indicate that the contest of 1888 will be the severest and most important since the election of Sir. Lincoln in I860. Already, when scarcely more than one year of the pres ent administration has expired, myste rious movements are being made and very significant signs are seen in many sections of the country-^all pointing unmistakably to the fact that the bat tle to.be fought will be n decisive one, involving perhaps the annihilation of the defeated party. In New York Mr. Conkling has been silently working among his friends with sufficient suc cess to create quite a star in the stal wart element of tiie -Republican party, and combinations are spoken of as likely to occur, which will doubtless throw confusion intotbe ranks of other Presidential aspirants before the nomi nation is made. Mr. Conkling is wily and shrewd, just the man to create trou ble where trouble *vill count most for his own benefit, arklof this the leaders in his party have had experience enough to make themt&'utiousln every movement. * At the Capital Senator Edmunds has made a bold dash in his attack upon the President to establish himself as the leafler of his party, and thus to se cure a position which will make his nomination reasonably certain in 1888. The evident indifference, however, on the part of many Republicans and the telling blows he has received at the hands of Democrats seem to have so clouded his prospect that nothing less than an overwhelming1 victory can make him an available candidate before the convention. General Sherman, though an aspirant and a promising one in his own eyes, is quietly canvassing the chances and calculating the advantage his famous "March to the Sea" gives him over his opponents, but feels considerably em barrassed in bis work. The burning of Columbia, his depreciation of Gen. Grant's military genius and other un guarded expression are stumbling stones in his way not easily removed, and his daily experience with these matters makes him realize the often asserted truth that the tongue is in deed a small member but often gives a deal of trouble to those who use it without a bridle. Nor has Senator Logan been idle or an indifferent spectator of the scenes being enacted around him. His friends with an unswerving devotion to his cause, have taken in the situation and, knowing his skill in using to advan tage the bloody shirt argument, count on him as an important factor in the coming contest. Probably the most active worker and certainly the most adroit wirer puller in the field is Mr. Blaine. The growing popularity of Mr. Conkling In New York and other states has aroused his political adherents in that section and perhaps the old antagonism will be re vived to lessen, at least, Mr. Conkling chances for the nomination. The ill advised attack of Senator Edmunds on the President opens up an opportunity for Mr. Blaine to secure an inglorious defeat to Mr. Edmunds, to bring his indifferent course in the last campaign again prominently before the party and by these means kill him off early in the campaign. We do not suppose the friends of the Plumed Knight will give themselves much trouble about Gener als Sherman and Logan more than to give them rope enough to hang them selves, this their past indiscretion indi cates as the best policy. While this maneuvering is being conducted on the Republican side of the field, we hope the Democrats are on the alert and will occupy every van tage-ground that presents itself. The success of the party and its perpetua tion in power depend upon Mr. Cleve land's administration being a success, therefore it is of the first importance for the party leaders to give him their warmest and best support. Look at it as we may, Mr. Cleveland's fight is the party's fight and his success will be the party's success. Victory in 1888 to whatever side it turns will give the successful party an almost indefinite lease of power. Interest Dwindling. When the attack on the President was first made we expected to have several weeks of spicy reading embrac ing rhetorical flourishes, dramatic episodes, thrilling floor-scenes, flashes of wit and humor, fine displays of Ameri can oritory and specimens of genuine statesmanship that would compare favorably with the great debates of Calhcun and Webster. But after two or three harangues and Senator Hen na's knock-down speech in defense of the President, all interest in the affair seems* to have dwindled and died out. The truth is, the Republicans have been badly whipped and we are likely to hear no more of it save a few ran dom shots here and there and some wrangling over the appointments of t he President. There is no doubt'as to the rejection ofnifinyofthe.se appointments, indeed the President himself knows of several which ought to be rejected, against whom some very disgraceful disclosures have been made. It such charge* against these nominees could be authen ticated, it would be well for the Presi dent, of his. own option, to act and thereby save bis administration from scandal and the injury consequent upon it. Already quite a number of these very nominations in the Revenue Department have been confirmed;by the Senate, and we may expect the same policy to obtain with regard to those in other departments of the government. It seems to us that the sensible view to take of the whole question is, that removals were abso lutely necessary in order that the execu tion of the laws might be in accord with the policy of the administration. A Democratic administration cannot be successful with the subordinate officials in the hands of partisan Re publicans. This M Cleveland knew and it would have ueen folly for him to have pursued any other course than that adopted. Small Souls. There are some people whose charity does not extend beyond their own homes and who believe nobody is worth consideration except one of their own kith and kin. We have met with few examples of this littleness of soul so contemptible as the action of the four Senators who voted against the bill allowing the widow of Gen. W. S. Han cock an annual pension of $2,000 in ac cordance with the established custom of the government. These same gentle men were willing to rob the Treasury of millions of dollars by the general Pension Bill when it promised to se cure votes for their party; but to ap propriate annually a few dollars as a pension to the widow of an officer who had done as much or more for the Union cause than any General in their army and whose conduct since the war and previous to his death had given more dignity and tone to the Federal government than any man connected with it, was more than their narrow minds could conceive or their little souls allow. No investment pays so well as money given to reward unusual talent or unselfish devotion on the part of a citizen to the cause of his country, and no investment pays so poorly as money given by a government as a bribe to secure the devotion of her citi .zens to a mere party. Our law-makers should understand the difference and shape their legislation accordingly. Sensible. Editor Times and Democrat: Feeling as every farmer must do, an inclination to respond to the call of his brother farmer, in the effort to inaugu rate a movement in behalf of our agri cultural interest, and therefore to all others?lor we are the bottom rock in the structure. I cannot refrain from expressing my regret, in the condemna* tory spirit of this appeal. Although it seems, a tendency of the times, to impugn and traduce in all differences, is it wise in a movement like this, to arraign all our representative, men, Yw whole sale; must it not weaken our: cause to antagonize our people, ar raying one class vs. another, causing a division in our Democratic ranks, which must open the door to the enemy ?the negro and the demog'ogue?only dormant by oucstrenghf, in our solidi ty. Now, this occasional abuse of our lawyers in some articles recently in the press, is indeed in bad taste if not ungrateful in our farmers, few of whom in the embarrassment and troub les of poverty have not laid claim to a counsellor at the Courthouse who has oftentimes proven a friend indeed. It is true that like a great many others, I did not approve of some of this pro fession, who led us to victory in '76, and when we arraigned the official ras cals, who had robbed us?springing up in their defence?as was done in more than one county of our State. But, if some have fallen before our standard of excellency, must we condemn all of the profession in which we find some of our best men, and who must hesi tate to join us all with this denuncia tory feelings for their high calling. I ellow-fanners, let us pause and go back to "ante bellum" times in our County, have we forgotten our Glover, a lawyer by profession, but how far be yond this in all his attainments was he in the relations of friend and coun sellor. Ay, and our Keitt, who in the forum as well as field, won distinction, and in those times that tried men's souls, where did you find them, but in the vanguard, where they met so gallantly their fate. Heroes in the strife, fully up to the standard of merit and duty, with our Dantzler and others of our fraternity, and outside of our County. Let me recall to you, Butler and Bonham, Kershaw and Kennedy, whom some of you have followed upon many a gory field. Would you traduce them I God forbid?are they less worthy now than then?they led us in times of peril, like Hampton and Ha good and Bratton.our farmer Generals, and arc as true to us to-day as they were in the dangers and trials of the past, and I for one can do them no dis honor. In this effort to inaugurate a movement; which must redowned to the general good, let us raise such a standard as that all can dis cuss the situation, assert our rights, and demanding them, win them at the polls. Call your convention, broth er farmers, but let it be for all of our people, our interests are one. Farmer. Shot by a Burglar. At Marion on Monday night, the 8th instant, Duncan M. Dew, a young man who clerks in the store of B. R. Mul lins, was shot in the neck by a burglar and probably fatally wounded. Mr. Dew and Mr. J. R. Reeves were sleeping at the store, and between 12 and 1 o'clock that night they heard some one in the warehouse, twenty feet in the rear of the store. They were unarmed I but took a lamp and exploredjthe ware house. Mr. Dew observed a negro burglar hiding behind some boxes ami ordered him to surrender. The clerk closed in with him and in the scullle that ensued the negro got his pistol to the, young man's neck and fired. Mr. Dew fell, and the negro ran over Mr.' Reeves, knocking the lamp from his hand, and made his escape. The negro was recognized as Henry Williams. He had bored a hole through the floor and thus effected an entrance. ? A Few. Question!!. Editor Times and Democrat: Is there one farmer in ten in South Carolina who knows that there is such a thing as the tariff? Is there one man in ten in the State who knows the literal and practical meaning of the word tariff? Is there one man in ten in the State, who knows that every time he pur 'chases one dollar's worth of general merchandise he gets only fifty-seven cents worth ? Is there one man in ten in the State, who knows what becomes of the other forty-three cents, so expended? Is there one man in ten in the State, who knows that all wealth is the pro duct of labor or the gains of ex changes? Is there one man in ten in the State, who knows that all taxes must arise from the net product of labor or the gains of exchanges? Is there one person in ten in the State, whether farmer, planter, editor, lawyer, doctor, preacher, white or colored la borer, male or female, man, woman or child, mason, blacksmith, mechanic, or artisan of anv kind, who knows that by reason of the tariff, he, she or they are just forty-three per cent poorer than they would be if the tariff was not in existence? Is there one man in ten in South Caro lina who knows that the Bessemer Steel Association alone, as it styles itself, pays annually over five million of dol [ lars to Congress to keep up the tariff in order to enrich itself at the expense of the many? Is there one farmer or laborer in ten thousand in the United States, who if he understood the enormity and over whelming injustice of the tariff system would not use his influence and vote against any candidate for Congress who is not committed to vote for a re duction of the tariff, first, last, and all the time? Can "level headed brother Williams of the Greenville News" define free trade? Does "level headed brother Williams of the Greenville News" know that when seventy staunch free traders tackle the average Congressman they are not tackling a very "big potato?" Will some person or persons please answer, and not all answer at once ? _Paysan. A SUPERR riESH PRODUCER and TONIC! A Man ok Sixty-Eight Winters.?
