THE XMNIG TIMESj LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, January 23, 1895. cLaurin Turns Loose The Dogs of War. Another letter has been given to the newspapers by Congressman John L. McLaurin, which causes some people to ask, "What is the matter with MeLaurin?" We have carefully read the letter, and find it is in accord with the views held by McLaurin for a long time There is no change of position, nor anything in it that warrants the sur mise that McLaurin is apologizing to, or tiying to make fair weather with the opposition faction. In an editorial published some weeks agc under the head, "The Dawn o Peace," we took a similar position, and cautioned the friends of the Re form movement against the greedi ness of political pirates who are on board of the Reform ship for the car go she carries; and subsequent event has shown that our words of warn ing was not without basis, as is seer by the action of that delegation whc waited upon the proprietor of the Columbia Register and demandec the removal of editor Koester. These men wanted this editor removed anc replaced by one who would use the columns of that paper to keep up ag itation and irritatic, - eroby th real questions to -be pondered ovel by the masses might be lost sight of There is no doubt about the peo ple being desirous of having strif' allayed, and they feel that a wise se lection of delegates to the constitu tional convention will wipe out ou differences and bring the white peo: ple back into a spirit of harmony anu unity; but a few spoilsmen in ou Reform ranks are as much oppose to such a result, as the devil is tc holy water; for they see that th< coming together of the people wouk be the sealing of their politica doom. Congressman McLaurin has don herculean work in Congress, and hi constituents are proud of the recor< he has made; but there are some pol iticians who are jealous of him, an( they have employed newspaper edit ors to malign, slander, and vilify Mc Laurin, and by various other scheme endeavored to make the people mis trust him. The few who are afte: him want his political scalp becaus he will not submit to their dictationi and join them in their questionabl< 1chemes. In 1886 McLaurin enlisted in th< war to break up an arrogant ring now he sees another ring has beel formed within our own ranks and h< has made war upon it and he wil use his best efforts towards breakin1 it up. Is McLaurin true to the Re form cause? Take up the Congres sional Record and read it. Read hi Sutterances in sl -' 1'-' --- - ---'at he has exposed th true inwardness of the "nit ni -crrnIpe's liberties. His caree: has proven him to be a devoted foi lower of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cal houn, and that his mind and hear is full with the message his peopl gave him to carry to Washington There never was a truer representa tive of the people, or one who worki more zealously for their cause; it il for this the people of the sixth Con gressional district have placed upoz him 'an armor that is impenatrabh~ to all the "spears" of his enemies McLaurin would have waged wai upon that crowd of Reform-pretend ers last summer when they first be gan their manipulations had it nol been that some of his true friends were afraid his enemies would under the political excitement of the campaign, succeed in deceiving thE people, and possibly cause us tc lose him from the council-hall it Washington where his service: is much needed, and it was only af ter much pleading with him that he consented to smother his feelings foi the time. The reasons do not exist now *which made his friends hold hii hands, and he has entered the worli of thwarting those, whose only inter est in the Reform movement is counted by the number oi nickles ,that drop into theii political ; slots. He comes for ward with no uncertain sound and charges the existence of a "Ring more desperate, more autocratic, more tyrannical, more unscrupulous than ever dominated the State or controlled the destinies of a free peo ple," ano~ says that this ring is "mak ing preparations to control the con stitutional convention, and thereby perpetuate themselves in power." -McLaurin will not submit to thai set of reckless, selfish, party-wreckers having their way without his protest, and he fearlessly steps to the front and calls a halt. He favors the har monizing of the factions, and in this he should have the support of every true Reformer and Conservative in the State, because we realize it is the only way to secure that peace which~ is so much desired and needed for the welfare of the masses. The Columbia Register, which is very friendly to McLaurin, thinks his letter "untimely," and that it will not have a tendency to bring the result desired. We must differ with our esteemed contemporary, as we can not see any good in a hush-you-will ruin-things policy, and while there are some things in that letter which might well have been left unsaid at this time, they were the promptings of McLaurin's heart, and "out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speak eth." The people admire, if politi cians do not, a man who treats with them openly, fully, and above all, ancerely. In order to properly awaken the r ople they must be spoken to plain y.Dealing in softly-sounding phrases and in inuendoes will not ac complish any desired result, and if the people are to understand from McLaurin "it is a fight to the hilt" which he is going to wage on the men who na nsing the Reform movement for selfish purposes, he is to be con gratulated for his manly stand by every one who admires courage; for to take such a position just at this time requires a courage not often ex hibited in politics, and it will be left to the people to say whether they will stand by the man who is honest ly telliag them what he believes and whose public record is that of a faith ful servant, or a set of men that will pour honied-words into the unsus pecting ear while their hands are dig ging down into the people's pockets. The Reform ship was launched to fight "Rings, 'Cliques,' and Bossism;" gallantly she engaged in the fight and came out with every spar stand ing and with the colors of Reform proudly floating from her mast-head; but for the past year she has been lying idle at her moorings and de structive worms have gotten into her pilot-house; they are gnawing at the rudder ropes around her wheel; and they must be cleaned out before they infest the whole vessel and become so deeply imbedded that nothing short of a tearing to pieces will eradicate them. McLaurin sees this, and he has the courage to sound the tocsin of alarm. Those wanting McLaurin removed from political activity will now charge him with "treachery' and with "going back on the movement," and it is for just this very reason his friends pleaded with him not to start his fight during the last campaign while the public mind was inflamed and not prepared to ap preciate his motives. Is there a rino If there is not, then there is some thing which has that appearance There are a few men who have as sumed to themselves the power oi dictating the policy of others, and when they strike a man who feel that God has endowed him with. f mind that he might do his own think ing, and this man undertakes t( utilize that great blessing, these fey men retire to the room of a hotel, oi into a State-house office, and hold i - court of inquiry as to the man's loy - alty-not to the cause, but to them " If they find that a muzzleing proces, - won't work, they come out of theii I secret chamber, and with solemn long faces, cry out to the people I "that man is betraying the Reforn movement. He is a traitor to the people's cause, and unless he is dis i carded and turned to the wall, al I that the Reformers have ao complished will be destroyed.' s This sort of thing work 5 during the excitement of I I heated campaign, but when the peo - ple are cool and collected, they listei I and think; they wonder who author - ized any set of men to sit in judg - ment upon the loyalty of others, an< ; by what right is such things bein( - done. They become indignant a r they did when Post Master Genera a Bissell sat in judgment on the Dem 3 ocracy of some of South Carolina' ' Congressmen. The Reform move ment never contemplated such a thing as the suppression of fre speech and~free thought, but, to th I contrary, made free speech one of it Scardinal principles, and when it i 1 seen that there are men in our rank Swho have the impertinence to inquir - into the loyalty of another, becaus - he happens to differ on some o s many matters, or is opposed to som a ut ineir pontical aspirations, the tim a has arrivedforsns~weetaure-m~ r iadeto Vamoose de ranche with th< 0 toe of a brogan shoe piercing then -between the pistol pockets. -McLaurin's letter is a proclamatioz of war and under his banner will b< enlisted the Reformers who wan -peace and harmony, progress anc -prosperity, and by doing all in thei: Spower to make the constitutiona Sconvention a non-factional body, thej will succeed and thwart those un scrupulous politicians whom he say: are preparing to control the conven tion and perpetuate themselves ir -power. -There is an element in the Con -servative faction that take McLaurin't letter as a sweet morsel to roll undel their tongues, imagining that he has cut himself off from the Reforn movement; to theni wve will say, they were never more mistaken. McLaur in is as strong an advocate for th< Reform cause now, as he was the da) he entered the fight, and itt is on ac count of his devotion, that he is jeal ous of the welfare of that cause which makes him sound the warning so the people might know theil cherished hope will be shaken to its Ifoundations if they do not arouse and do something to keep selfisi schemers from coverting the Reforir movement into a political machine and we ask all who have the welfare of the State at heart to ponder wel of McLaurin's letter and not become misguided by the "stop-thief" huE and cry of greedy politicians. WE also ask as a matter of simple justice; the niewspapers which have beer questioning Mr. McLaurin's motives, to giv e this editorial space in theii columns in order that their readern may know why it was the fight was not started earlier. Our statement of the cause is true of our own knowledge, and as we feel honored in being recognized as one of Mc Laurins friends, we will say that his holding back for time was in defer ence to our wishes as well as oi others. Being in position to know~ what was going on, we knew that if he started the fight last summer he would have been crushed out by the vihitication and misrepresentations of hireling editors, and that the peo ple of the sixth Congressional district would have lost the brightest light now illuminating the halls of Con gress, and which is attracting, by its brilliancy the serious attention of the nation. We believe that it is better judgment to sometimes bear with our evils for a time, rather than reck lessly rush into a buzz-saw of demo lition, and if some of our people and newspapers would use more judgment and stop trying to carry ;things their own way regardless of consequences, they would fare better and engender less strife and bitterness. McLaurin speaks truly when he says "the Anties, one part are cowed and whipped, the other part too mad to have any sense." The part that are "cowed and whipped"' are those that see the justice of the Reform cause and want to join us, but only hold back because afraid of the abuse of that part "too mad to have any of the "Antis~ together with the shrewd, calculating, grasping, and selfish Reform politicians that is keeping up turmoil and crippling every branch of business; the former are only gratifying their contempti able prejudices and bringing ruin on themselves, while the latter are fattening from the spoils of their conquests and laugh with fiendish glee at the craziness of their friends -the enemy.

GROVER ON HAWAl The President Seems Willing to Discuss the Situation HIS POSITION CLEARLY DEFINED. Says He inas Not the Slightest Objection to Making Public tihe Instructione Which Wese (liven to the Commander of the Philadelphia. WAS7XIN-TON. January :21.-President Cleveland made the following state ment last evening in reference to the Hawaiian question, which ho seemed entirely willing to discuss: "No information has been received which in dicates that anything will happen in Hawaii making the presence of one of our naval vessels neeessary. unless we are prepared to enter upon a policy and course of conduct violative of every rule of international law and utterly unjustifiable. All who take any interest in the question should keep In view the fact that Hawaii is entirely independent of us and that in its relations to us it is a foreign country. A I ship has been sent to Honolulu. not because there has been any changc in the policy of the administration, and not because there seems to be any Imminent necessity for Its presence there. The vessel has been sent in precise ac cordance with the policy of the administration in every case of the kind and from motives of extreme caution. and because there is a possi bility that disturbances may be renewed which might result in danger to the persons or property of American citizens entitled to the protection of the United States. This course was at once determined upon as soon as in formation reached the government of the re cent revolt. "So far from having the slightest objection to making public the instructions which were given to the commander of the Philadelphia and the dispatch he will carry to Mr. Willis. our minister at Hawaii. I am glad to put them before my fellow-citizens. Here they are: Instruction+ to Bear-Adrlral Beardsley. Washington, January 19. IS05.-Rear Admi ral Beardsley. Flagship :hiladelphia.
