The political prognosticators have already commenced figuring on who is to be our next governor, but the political lightening may strike where it is not looked for. Let us all start the New Year with a determination to win first place among the progressive counties of the State. It can be done with a general pulling together. The speech of Congressman Mc Laurin which we published last week has been reproduced all over the Union and foreign newspapers are also commenting upon it. If Mc Laurin does not get a back-set he will go down in history as one of the best debaars in thia ennotry, - Jar parrot Sam had tr. tish lions - along and ..........

The object !esson presented by the generous offer of Russia to furnish money to the United States must not be lost. It is a grand manifestation of the continued friendship of the only great power of the world which has at all times and under all circumn stances extended aid and comfort to the people of the United States. Such -a generous offer at tbis time, when the United States is groaning under the British yoke of financial bondage, must be appreciated. But the ques ~- How is it that the great republic w few years ago was paying its war de1.:(jh marvelous rapidity, arid whose credit stood first of all the nations of the earth, should now be an object of sympathy or charity on account of our failing credit and growing poverty ? Fifteen years ago the credit and financial standing of our great European and Siberian friend could not have been compared with ours. What has made this great and marvelous change? There is but on~e answer: Russia has enjoyed financial inde pendence, while the United States has been governed by an English gold syndicate. The silver rouble is the unit of account in Russia. The circulation in that country is paper, and good legal tender money is is sued in sufficient quantity to keep it on a parity with silver bullion at a ratio of 15 1-2 to 1 between the two metals. The difference of exchange between the mo. ey in actual circu lation in Russia and the gold stan dard countries has been the same as the difference of exchange between India and the far East, and Paris and London. The Russia farmer has sent his bushel of wheat to Liverpool and re ceived an ounce of silver therefor, which in his own country was worth at least $1.30. The American farmer snends his bushel of wheat to the same market and receives an ounce of silver therefor, which in his owD country is worth only tifty cents. This same principle operates for the benefit of all exports of Russi and ~operates as a tax or .tariff npwe importdinto that country. Previous to the demonitization of silver, whieb created this difference of exchange, the production of wheat and cotton in the Orient, in competition with the United States was unheard of, and Russia was a feeble rival of the pnited States in supplying Europe with farm products. But the differ ence of exchange has made Russia great. It has stimulated her exports, retarded imports, and enabled her to accumulate vast hoards of gold, while the gold standard has impov erished the great republic, compelled her farmers and planters to sell at ruinous gold prices in competition with Russia and Asia, who are abun dantly aspplied with good money. In Russia and Asia a stability of prices stimulates indus'tryv and accu mulates wealth. In the United States falling prices paralyze industry and increases the poverty of the people. In a few sboit years America has be. come a financial pauper, dependent upon the tender mercies of the Shv locks of London, while Russia has1 grown rich and powerful by the sim ple process of furnishing her people with honest money. If Mr. Cleveland was not protected b~y a dullness of sensibility and a heartless disregard for the American people, which puts to shame the hardihood of Nero fiddlirg while Rome was burning, the fact that he is pauperizing his country, and mak ing it an object of charity by depriv ing the people of money would make him cry out for the rocks and moun tains to fall upon him and hide him from the view of man. We rejoice that the American people now have an opportunity to compare what hon est money maintaining stability of prices has done for Russia, and what dishonest money, creating falling prices and hard times, has done for the United States, and see whether, as contended by Mr. Cleveland, their patriotism will be improved by con traction, more stagnation, more pov erty and want, as suggested by the autocrat of the White House. The audacity of a President who can ask his people to submit to extortion, to starvation, to misery and want, for the sake of being inspired with that patriotism which seeks decay, with that enthusiasm which seeks despair, while their tormentors in London, New York, and Washington, revel in untold millions of ill-gotten wealth, may find a parallel; but a parallel will only be possible when Satan de ses some new scheme not yet re vealed to exhibit a degree of impu dence and contempt for the human race which was unknown when Mil ton wrote. MALICIOUS AND IDIOTIC. The most notable difference between an American and an English newspaper, is that the latter gives simply the news as it is. unadorned by "scareheads,"and leaving its readers to draw their own conclusions and inferenees; while the former is too often but simply the expression or reflex of its editors ideas and fancies. and hi, per. sonal likes and dislikes, all of which is presumptiously set forth as "public opin ion." One of the most rabid of this latter class is the puffed up Atlanta Journal an after noon paper whic'. has a circulation in this city and the suburb", it is owned and con trolled by one Hoke Smith whom the New York Sun has succeeded in making famous. H. Smith as some people know is a cabinet minister whose duty it is to cast incense and worship at the shrine of Mogul. Grov er Cleveland and play handy man about the White House. Besides attending to these many duties at Washington, Hoke finds time to run a newspaper in Atlanta; Hoke pulls the strings and his editor does the rest. If you want to learn how Hoke thinks. scan the editorial columns of the Journal and you will know. We have all larned sometime since that tbis great man is a gold bug of the most pronounced type. and among other things we have recently learn ed that ha don't like A. P. A's. neither does he like one Ben Tillman. senator from South Carolina. We are afraid Hoke is do ing some very silly things, not only silly. but wicked and malicious and is makiut his little editor down this side lots of trouble. The Journal in its time has done some sorry and shoddy things, but about the shabbiest and meanest in itz list, was the contemptible tirade of slander and abuse heaped upon Governor Evans and Senator Till man of South Carolina. the guests of the city of Atlanta. in the issue of November 29th. Of course nobody sup. poses, for an instant, that the Journal's snarls and venom can hurt these gentle men in any way. or even reach them, the very opposition and antagonism of sneh a sheet being in itself a complime-nt; "for it mast come to pass that every braggart is an ass." and that to be-right you must, of necessity. have this paper against yon. and, therefore, its hatred is preferable to its friendship. The Journal or Hoke Smith. does not like Ben Tillman which is bat natrnal; Tillman is a thorough out and out American, a fearless expounder of Jeffersonian De mocracy, a bitter and tireless enemy of trusts, plutocracy and Wall Street. and a true friend of the masses or the people, by whom we mean the toilers and producers of the land. These are qualifications pecu liarly aggravating to Hoke Smith and his Atlanta end, and the shower of vitupera. tion and abuse from the Atlanta Journal is very consistent, very characteristic, and very farcical. Were this show of black. guardism and uncalled for attack of Messrs. Tillman and Evansa. confined to these gen tlemnen in a personal sense, or under'other conditions, it could be passed over with the contempt it so justly merits, but un fortunately for the Journal and us all, it goes beyond that, and bec ime a question as to whether or not the good people of Atlanta countenance the deliberate insult to the executive heads of our sister State while our invited and w-lcomed guests. The people of South Carolina, by their sovereign voice, have honored these gentle men with the highest offices within their gift, they visit us in their official capacity with perhaps five thousand of their fellow citizens, and in insulting them this paper insults and outrages the feelings of the large majority of the people of South Caro lina, and makes the decent and hospitable people of our own city and State blush for very shame at its ruffianly and assinine stupidity. We predict and hope thait whatever small circulation the Journal may have in our sister State will grow beautifully less after this slandlerous and malicious issue has been circulated, for the people of South Carolina. be they friends or foes of Mr Tillman~ow- it,totheiriown honor andd'gnity to forever frown and chase beyond the enn fines of their State any newapaper that would so deliberately andl grossly insult temu. We will not dwell upon th" merits of Mr. Tilluman's speech in this city. excemit to say that it was an agreeable offset to the infernal mass of rubbish, hypocracy. arid effusive slobberv, we have been so surf,-it ed with since the Exposition opene-I. In ain age of lies and shams, it is a pleasure to find a man who has the courage of his honest convictions and is not afraid to as sert them on any and all -occasionms. Ben Tillman is all right, th,> people are with him, they know tbe gennuine article when they see it. and they know who is their friend. If Mr. Tillman will only keep on incrring the enmaity of such sheets us the Atlanta Journal we predict for him a bril liant future. He is on the right track and we believe arnd hope that this once un pre tentious farmer lad will one day be Pcesi dent of these United States. We heg to assure the good people of South Carolina that the Atlanta Jouirial or Hohe Smith does not by any means r-plresenat the senti ment of the p- ople of this city or State; and we feel saie ini tdndering fe:- the: uur sincere regrets and apolo:.ties for the un warranted insult to theirjGovernor and Sen ator while our guests.-American Adver tiser, Atlanta, Ga. $100 REWARD $100.

Clark of Mobile, the present congressman from the First Alabama sistrict, formally announces in the Mo bile Register his candidacy for the Dem ocratic nomination for governor of To the peoplo of Sutb Carolina: Open your eyes, look around you and see where you stand at this juncture of time. "The war between the States has been nrmbered among the things of the past, and yet the WJankees and their fawn ing allies will not let us alone. I for one, won't humble myself at their feet, alike a timid slave!" Had not the worst element of our country got into national power, through showers of rotten eggs and other like merited indignities. we would have had a peaceful, quiet people to-day. The fanatics who have been picking at t,.e Southern people for the entire term of their damnable existence, have not only broke up the old Whig party, but have even suc ceeded in debauching the Democracy of New York State, by blacking the face of her once fair and spotless Judiciary. Even Governor Chamberlain, niost positively re fused to use the same kind of brush on the face of the Judiciary of South Carolina. 0. what a shame it is. for a State or a na tion t., evolute backwards, and then have the face to tell us, they are on the road to progress! )id not these samne fanatics hiss Mr. Tonmbs. of Georgia. in one of their public halls? Did he nuit rebuke thenm thus: "You don't hiss ne, but you hiss the constitution of your fathers." Yes. and they have been all their lives hissing our national constitution; an-d they will do so, to the end of their fretful days. Did not Mr. Tombs denouace them both before and after our late war, in niuch more bitter w.,rds, than did either Gov. Evatns or Senator Tillnan? Did he not hurl the most scatbing and well.nierited anathemas at thern in Atlanta since "the war between the States? Did not George McDuffie. (Georgia's greatest Statesman and South Carolina's :t'opt-d son) del nounce upon the fi ,or of the Unit.-l .st:itts Senate these- nnblushing fanati,. in these timely and eloquent words: '*When I hear a Northern man crying out the glorions Union,methinksI he-ir the bugI t-b!astof the robber-band; and when I hear a Southern man crying out the glorions Union, me thinks I snuff treason in the tainted breeze!" Did not Calhoun, Hayne and other great statestUan of our country, tell them of their meaness and want of na tional faith? What good did it do? Why they only went on at the same rate, until they plunged this beautif ul land of ours, into the war which we have just passed through. Did they not prohibit the great Webster from speaking in one of their national halls, jnst bec.ise he would not allow them to think for him? Did they not deliberately endeavor, to stir up in surrections before "the war between the States," throughout the whole South? Are they not clapping their hand's for joy a' this time; at the prospect of our cotton fac tories demanding a protective tariff. Because Senator Tillman happens to see such an evil ahead of the South, and calls halt upon Northern capitalists and cheap labor coming down here, the Atlanta -Journal takes it upon itself, to insult South Carolina, through her Governor and most gifted Senator. A little one-horse North ern newspap.r (The New York Advertiser) last year persecuted the Atlanta Journal thus: "Poblic sentimerit all over the State is strongly against the revolutionary policy of the G.vernor. One day of General JAckson in the White House would bring this latter (lay Calhuunist, without Cal honn's mind, promptly into line." Don't you see, that both of these newspapers aim their darts at the bosom of South Carolina. rather than at Senator Tillman? While the Northern laper would insult our State by eqruparing Calhoun and Tillman nnfavor ably as to patriotism, the Georgia paper woul.l do the same, by uncomplimentary allusions to both Gov. Evans and Senator Tillman. The Atlanta Journal's coarse allusions to our Governor borrowing from Senator 'iilman a speech, is a piece of disgracefol spite, unworthy of the pen of any edi:or in the great and patriotic State of Georgia. As the latter part of my edu cation was receive,1 at Emory College, I happen to know sometning of the people of Georgia. I am sure they do not indorse the sentirnents of tlie Atlanta Journal. The Governor and Senat -r of Sonth Carolina were guests of Georgia, and should n< t have been (even as individuals) thus so unnecessarily and ur'justly insulted, just for the purpose it wonld seem, of guning the favor of the worst enemies of the whole South. When a man does a wrong, and falls out with one who tells him of it, he is the real s'ibje-ct of his own wrath. I would advise every citizen to hold on to correct principles, and at the same time, to always be ready to fight for the United States against "the world in arms."

They show that on Tuesday last there was intense excitement there, the peo ple hurrying into the t'own from the mines and outlying country. The central committeemen constitu ted themselves a provisional govern ment for the town, and announced that ample provision would be made to de fend it against any body of Boers. The provisional government was es tablished in the Consolidated gold fields building and three Maxim guns were placed in advantageous positions about it. The new government then sent an ultimatum to the government of Presi dent Kruger, who proposed a conference at Pretoria on the following day, Wednesday; the committee hesitated tro go to Pretoria without a safe conduct. Dr. Jameson, at that time, was hour ly expected at Johannesburg. Crowds of people surrounded the Consolidated gold fields building, and the work of re oruiting was in full swing. N umbers of people left the town during the night in bands of 50 each. Later the committee sent the follow ing to Sir Hercules Robinson, the gov ernor of Cape Colony: "We have absolute information that a large body of Boers has been com manded to immediately attack Johan nesburg and shoot on sight all who have been concerned in the agitation. Our situation is so critical that we ask you to intervene to protect the lives of citi zens who have long agitated legally their rights."____ Tho Dutch Are Jubilant. CAPE TowN, Jan. 7.-It is learned that after last Wednesday's fight, Dr. Jameson's column, originally about 700 men, moved southward, fighting hard all the way through the night and eventually reached Vlakvonteil, about six miles from Johannesburg, on Thurs day morning, when the column was completely surrounded by a force of 4,800 Boers. In spite of this, Dr. Jam eson's followers fought stubbornly until noon, when all their cartridges were exhausted. In addition, they had not tasted food for 24 hours, and were worn out with fatigue. But the white flag was not hoisted by Dr. Janeson's orders. It is known that Dr. Jameson expect ed 2,000 Uitlanders to join him at Krugersdorf. The Dutch press is jubi lant at this lowering of British prestige and advocates the incorporation of "Rhodesia" with the Transvaal repub lic.____ Succeed.. Rhodes as Premier. CAPE TowN, JTan. 7.-The Hon. Sir J. Gordon Sprigg, K. C. M. G, treas urer of Cape Colony, succeeds Mr. Ce cil Rhodes as premier. The new pre nier was colonial secretary and premier of Cape Colony from 1878 to 1881, treas urer from 1884 to 1886, premnier and treasurer from 1886 to 1890 and treas urer from 1890 on. He was bo.na in 1830. ____ Rhode,' Resignation Confirmed. CAPE TowN, Jan. 7.-The news that the Hon. Cecil Rhodes, premier of Cape Colony, has resigned, is confirmed. It is not yet known if his resignation has been accepted by the governor, Sir Her cles Robinsnn AN-1TIIER STAR MDhE11 Utah Starts Off With the Prom ise of a Bright Future. THE STATE OFFIOIALS INSTALLED Legal Holiday Declared and Thousands of People Ga'hered In Salt Lake City to Witness the Ceremonies-Day Ushered In by Ringing of Hells and Blowing of Whistles-Governor's Address. SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 7.-Another state has been added to the Union and the rights of self government have been extended to 250.000 industrious, law: abiding and intelligent people. The oath of office was administered to the state officials of Utah at noon, and POLK WELLS. a new state, with her vast resources, started off with the promise of a bright and glorious future. The city was crowded with people from all parts of the state. Acting Governor Richards had, by proclama tion, declared the day a holiday. All business was suspended and the build ings along the principal streets were decorated with the national colors. The day was ushered in by the ring ing of bells and sounding of all the steam whistles in the city. At 11 o'clock the street parade, under the direction of Grand Marshal Burton, moved from the corner of Main and Third streets. The parade included General Penrose and staff, federal troops and the National guard of Utah, members of the legislature, civic socie ties and citizens. While the parade was taking place the artillery on Arsenal Hill was firing a salute of 45 guns. Acting Governor Richards, as master of ceremonies, called the h, use to order and prayer was offered by Wilfred Woodruff, president of the Mormon church. He prayed for the welfare of the nation, to which Utah will ever be loyal, and for the prevalence of justice, mercy, truth and peace, so that every soul might be free to worship as he sees fit. The "Star Spangled Banner" was rendered by a chorus of 1,000 voices. After this, the proclamation of the pres ident of the United States granting statehood to Utah was read by ex-Dele gate Joseph T. Rawlings. The oath of office was administered to the governor and state officers by Chief Justice Zane of the supreme court of the state. Governor Wells then de livered his inaugural address. The Governor's Inaugural Address. "Let us congratulate," said he, "the pioneers-that heroic band of patriots who blazed a way~ for western civiliza tion-who turned the waters upon the burning soil and wrung from desolation the bounteous harvests which we are reaping-who planted the stars and stripes on yonder peak, and in the namo of freedom began the work which we are consummating now. "As to those of us who. followed in their wake, whether we came to Utah in the slow moving prairie schooner of frontier days or in the lightning ex press train of more recent years. or whether born upon the soil, let us clasp hands upon this natal day and congrat ulate each other upon the happy solu tion of all past contentions and our suc cession to the full rights and privileges of citizenship in a free and sovereigni state of the grandest republic the world has ever see't. "And while felicitating ourselves and our state upon h er admission into the Union, let us not omit to congratulate the Union upon the acquisition of an other commonwealth of magnificent proportions and superb possibilities. "If I were asked to enumerate in more specific terms the riches that Utah affords the country as recompense for her statehood, I would say she offers the gold and silver, lead and copper and iron of her mountains, the luxurious soil of her valleys, the matchless life saving climate, a most efficient public school sstem and the gratitude of a happy, homogeneous and patriotic pee ple." The governor then reviewed in detail the many efforts made by Utah to se cure statehood from 1847 to the present day. Continuing, he said: "What better evidence of the entire sincerity of all the people in their pres ent convictions could be givon than that Chief Justice Zane, who in the past. acting under a conscientious regard for duty, has sentenced hundreds of Mor mons to the penitentiary, now sits upon the bench as the honored choice of the electors of Utah for the highest judiciail office in the state; and that a Mormon born and reared, shonld be delivering from the same platform this address as the governor of Utah." The governor then gave an exhaust ive review of the financial and indus trial condition of the state, and the ceremonies clossd with patriotic music. The inaugural ball was held at the Salt Lake theater at night. StrIke Threatened. Sco'rALtz, Pa., Jan. 7.-The em - ployes of W. J.

FrauER-, Snunervisor. They Wil Demand Reciprocity With South America. VERY STRONG FIGHT TO BE MADE rho Repeal of That Portion of the Tarli Law Which They Think Conflicts With the Flour Interests of the United States Will Be Requested-Disadvantage of the Present Law. CECAGO, Jan. 7. - The interest of American millers is centered in the next meeting of the executive committee of the National Millers' Trade association, to be held here about Jan. 27. Millers generally have practically decided upon a persistent agitation for reciprocity with South American countries and will make a determined effort for the repeal of that portion of the tariff law which they think conflicts with the flour in terests of the United States. B. A. Eckhart, a pr minent member of the associasion, says the prospect of the Cubans gaining their independence will have a tendency to promote com mercial relations between the new re public and this country. "The present rohibitive tariff between America and South American countries," he added, "should be removed; but we realize that an amendment to the Wilson law to obtain this desired relief would not be necessarily granted for one commod ity. Others doubtless will be included. "The idea is to continue agitating un til the result is attained. Millers do not anticipate any relief from the present congress, as the president would veto any such bill. As long as the present tariff is in effect it means a decrease of 4,000,000 barrels of flour annually in the export and the loss of $10,000,000 per year to American millers, compared to the benefits by reciprocity through the McKinley law. "At the coming meeting, M. H. Da vis will preside. Mr. Pillsbury and oth ers will attend, and I have every reason to believe that it will result in the inau guration of a united fight for millers' rights. THE ST. LOUIS DISASTER. One Victim Still Under the Debris-The Coroner Investigating. ST. Louis, Jan. 7. -The body of Charles Erickson, the Excelsior Wire works teamster, who met his death in Thursday's disastrous explosion, still lies in its ice bound tomb beneath the tons of burned and charred timber and twisted iron in the ruins of the wire works. A half dozen firemen spent several hours closely examining the de bris, in the hope of locating the body, but they were unsuccessful. There is no possibility of locating it until the mass of wreckage is removed. The work of clearing away the ruins has begun in earnest. The mayor sent a letter to the agents of the wrecked buildings, calling their attention to the dangerous condition of the standing walls. They were ordered to proceed at once to remove the debris, or the work would be done by the city and the ex pense charged to the owners of the buildings. All those killed in the explosion, whose bodies have been recovered, were buried Sunday, the bodies being follow ed to their last resting places by great crowds. The injured are recovering. Coroner Waite has begun a searching inquiry Into the cause of the explosion. TRIED TO WRECK A TRAIN. Cubans Use Dynamite Freely--The En gineer Klled as a Result.. MADRID, Jan. 7.-A dispatch received here from Havana says that the insur gents attempted to wreck a train on the Neuvitas-Puerte Principe railroad, which was conveying 300 passengers and a large number of soldiers.
