Congressman McLaurin has intro duced a bill in Congress providing for a public building at Florence to cost $100,000, and yet some Flor entites voted for a Republican negro in preference to McLaurin. Kamsas wants a dispensary law patterned after the South Carolina law. If the United States Supreme Court does not declare the dispen sary law unconstitutional a number of other States will adopt the system. Senator L. M. Ragin is a member of the committee to investigate the charges preferred by Director Wil loughby against Superintendent Neal. The charges will be thoroughly in vestigated and if Mr. Willoughby is sustained Colonel Neal should be dis missed, but if Willoughby fails to make good his charges he should be expelled from the board. Captain W. C. Davis, of Claren don's Legislative delegation, distin guished himself last Saturday in a speech opposing the bill to abolish the Citadel. The daily newspapers speak well of the speech, and we feel proud of our young representative for standing squarely by his alma mater. The Citedel Academy is do ing good work in the State and it should be liberally supported. The people are disposed to build up rather than to tear down, and we now think the constitutional conven tion made a mistake in not engraft ing the support of the educational institutions into the organic law. Had they done so, the Citadel, Clem son, and the other colleges would not be the foot-balls of every dema gogue desiring to make an issue for self-advancement. The Citadel made a narrow escape last Saturday and we are glad that Clarendon helped to do the saving. The Charleston politicians are in a peck of trouble about their police matters. Chief Martin has the dis pleasure of the newly elected mavor, on account of the former's advocat ing Huger for mayor, and the result will be that Martin's head will go- in the basket unless the Governor saves him with the authority given to him under the metropolitan police law. WVhen in, the city last week we took the trouble to iae some inquiries about the police muddle and we found a strong sentiment in favor of the metropolitan police in case Mar tin is removed. The argument is that if Martin is removed the city will be under the control and domi nation of the gamblers and whiskey men, an'd with Martin re-instated with a good and obedient force to back him, the gambling hells and blind tigers will have a troublesome time. Ever since the election the blind tigers do not pretend to bide. They conduct open bar-rooms, and in some cases policemen can be seen in them drinking. We asked one tiger why it was he dreaded the met. ropolitan police, and he said: "De guvnor vill put dat scoundrel Martin as chief and he vill put on a poliee dat will eider preak us up or vatch us so dat ye do pisness not so easy." The dread of a metropolitan police for Charleston is pricipally confined to those who wish to violate the law. The dispensary law is not enforced in Charleston, and the State and city oficers are to blame. The governor should see to it that the law is en forced in Charleston as it is in other towns, and if the city officials will not do their duty, the Governor should take hold and do his. The Columbia Register hits the nail square on the head when it says it "wants peace among the white men of South Carolina, but it will never be obtained if the price of peace must be suibmission on the part of the Re formers to such men as Mayor Dar gan." The Constitutional Conven tion has had the effect of mutual un derstandings between the men who are really laboring for the welfare of the State, and the day has come when men will be looked upon for their real value rather than from the standpoint of sentiment. South Car olina is now~ ready and ripe for en listing into the progressive proces sion, and all sensible men will admit that the way to retard and obstruct her progress is to keep up discord and strife among her citizens. Such men as Mayor Dargan cannot come to the front without giving mortal of iense to a large majority and it wvould Meextreme folly for the friends of this man to thlink that he can be crammea down the throats of the people. His conduct in the last Congressional election is sufficient to poiitically damn him forever, and he is not alone in being among the con spicuous white witnesses who en deavored to unseat McLaurin and to seat that mullato preacher Wilson. The people will remember the men of the Dargan stripe and in every county where such attempt to foist themselves, they and their friends will be hooted down under a storm of seers and derision. The Regis ter truly says the "Reformers have no fight with Conservatives as John C. Shepperd, Daniel S. Henderson, J. A. Hoyt and men of their class, who are white supremacy Democrats first, last and all the time." In the next cam paign we hope to see the genuine Conservatives and the true Reform ers combine, for it is this class that will save the country from being over run by greedy and grasping politicians from both factions. There are a class of men in this State whose political ambitions blind them to every interest but their own, and if necessary to carry their purposes to success, they would not hesitate caus ing bloodshed; it is this class the people must repudiate if we are to have peace and prosperity. Mayor Dargan joined the "Fortyites" and as soon as we saw his name connected with the organization we said the movement had received a death blow; just so will it be with every political organization that the fire brands are allowed to enter. If we are to become reconciled with each other, it is to be hoped the acceptable men on both sides will keep the ob noxious ones back and that our future political agitations can be on well defined and intelligent issues, instead of being governed by passion or hero-worship. We have received a copy of "The Colored American," published at Washington, D. C., in which there is a considerable space devoted to eu logizing Congressman McLaurin. Our representative has certainly so attracted attention to himself that even newspapers of different politi cal creeds feel duty-bound to sing his praises. "The Colored American' concludes its well-written article with the following paragraph: He is so broad and liberal in ideas and sympathies that though a democrat his la bors as a representative are not confined by any means to the membeis of one race or party. Like Cnming, of New York and Savers of Texas, he represents the twen tieth century democrats, who will so broad. en and liberalize its principles and custon! that it will be able to take within its corn prehensive folds men of all races and creeds on principle and not for the loaves and fishes. He represents the climahx of the leaven that has been thrown into Southern civilization, that will yet revolu tionize and civilize that benighted section and make it a fit place for civilized beings. . 0 M ' The national Democratic committee decided, on the twenty-ninth ballot, that the next national convention should be held in Chicago on July 7. There were four cities in the contest, Chicago, New York, Cincinnati and St. Louis, and the last ballot stood: Chicago, 26; St. Louis, 24; Cincinnati, 1; NewYork, 0. The house committee on military af fairs unanimously reported favorably the bill which recently passed the sen ate, repealing the law that prohibits ex confederates who held commissious in the United States army and navy at the beginning of the civil war from being appointed to any position in the army or navy. The International Migration society of Birmingham, Ala., has chartered the steamer Laurada to carry 400 negroes from Savannah to Monrovia, Liberia. The Laurada will leave Philadelphia for Savannah with a general cargo of about 800 tons, and at Savannah will take on board the negroes and sail on Feb. 27 for Monrovia. Advices from flool= a.o * effect that preparations are underway for the third celebration of the anniver sary of the revolution which overturn ed the monarchy. It will take place on Jan. 17, and the prediction is made that the parole of ex-Queen Lillioukalii will on that day be at an end and that she will be granted a full pardon. By the steamer Venezuela. which has just sailed for La Guayra, there was a consignment of goods to Venezuela of several thousands of buttons similar to the ordinary campaign badges. with a small satin American flag attached. On top of the button is a picture of ex President Monroe, and also the words, "America for Americans; one country, one flag, one God." There is considerable political excite ment in Juneau and Alaska generally in regard to the election of delegates to be sent to 'the Republican convention. Two men are making vigorous can vasses, and will probably secure the ap pointment. They are C. S. Johnson, ex-United States district attorney of Alaska, and Judge W. A. _Kelly, the present United States commissioner. A sensational shooting occurred in a large drygoods house in Indianapolis, Ind., when Miss Ruth Gordon fired two shots at Harry Purviance, a floor walk er. One shot made an abrasion in Pur viance's side. The second shot failed to take effect, and Parviance grabbed and overpowered his assailant before she could fire again. Miss Gordon charged Purviance with ungentlemanly conduct towards her. Argentina continues to loom up as the great southern competitor of the United States in supplyinxg the world with agricultural products of the tem perate zone and the figures showing the import and export trade of the country the first nine months of 189.5, which have been supplied to the stare depart ment by United States Minister Buch anan, indicate a steady growth in trade and a healthy condition of business there. W. J. Waiford, manager of A. A. Zimmerman, the bicyclist, announces that the champion's i-acing carer'r will end when he leaves Australia. Walford arrived from Sydney on the steamship Mariposa. He says Zimmerman had malarial fever at Ceylon and has not since bcen in his old form. Walford says Zimmerman returns to this country soon to devote himself to the management of a bicycle factory at Freehold, N. J., of which he is president. Several members of the crew of the British ship Janet Cowan, which was wrecked off the coast of Vancouver island on Jan. 1, attributed the loss of the ship to the incompetency of Captain Thompson. The captain is said to have been intoxicated when the ship struck and went to the bottom. Several of the crew, including the captain, lost their lives. Captain Thompson and two oth er men died of hunger and exposure af ter leaving Vancouver island. A Rush to the Gold Ficids. TAcoMA, Jan. 21.-The spring rush to the Yukon river gold fields has com menced. Seventy-five prospectors have started north on the steamer Topeka. Nearly all of them took cabin passago, the firstclass rate to Juneau having been reduced to $12. It is expected that hundreds of prospectors will go to Ju. neau between now and April 1. E. A. Gardner of Cook's Inlet Tr-ading and Transportation company, who has just returned from Alaska, says: "It is a fact little known that the Alaska Commercial company has been for a long time operating a mine on Ungla island, the output of which is $60,00 a month. The output is shipped monthly to San Francisco by the comn panys ~steamers. The whole island has been prospected and claimed by the company and is rich in free nmilling ores. The satme condition exists on the other islands in the vicinity. They abound in rich free milling ore, offering splendid profits for ining. My infor mation is gathered largely from men engaged in the industry and from per sonal observations. These islands are about 200 miles to the westward of oo's Inlet'' PLACE IN HISTORY. WHERE WILL GROVER CLEVELAND STAND IN THE LIGHT OF IIISTORU? Designs Against the Republic--A Second Struggle for the Principles of the Declaration of Independence Nigh at Hand. What manner of man is Grover Cleveland, and what position will be assigned him in American history, is a problem of the future that may now be discussed. Will his name be blessed or accursed, depends on the result of the .igantic struggle now arising and pending between the in dustrial forces and organized capital and greed. It is not true as a general rule, that what the good men do is in terred with their bones, and the evi! they do live after them. This may have been more or less true three hundred years age, when Shakes peare wrote, but Christian civiliza tion has wrought good, and the race, in many directions, is kinder and more forgiving. Within our menworv Abraham Lincoln was by many de nounced and slurred as a third-rate country lawyer; a silly blackguard and an all round charlatan and dlemagogue. Time has elapsed, and the dark cloud of partisan prejudice arising out of war is dispersed, and we can now see things in their true light; as they ex isted only thirty years ago. Former friends and foes, the extreme ends of bitter partisan warfare now unite in their judgment that Lincoln was a man of the noblest type, an intense patriot, without stint or blemish; and possessed with a soul overflowing with love of country and humanity. Selfishness and greed never entered into or disturbed his divine make-up. As long as men love liberty, humani tv and God the character of Abraham Lincoln will stand forth as the purest and noblest example of unselfish pa triotism that the world has, perhaps, ever produced. So the good Abra ham Lincoln did was not interred with his bones, but the evil he did, if any, has been cast, by common con seilt, into oblivion. The evil men do live after them only whien it over shadows the good. Men are not judged, however, for evil or good, by their private habits and eccentricities of mind. Great and good men are only men, and are hemmed in and cast about by the frailties, passions and lusts that beset the great mass of humanity. The grandest and purest of lives have had the bitterest strug gles to make the divine in their na tures triumph over the evil. The fabric of the human charscter is not erected, and man's estimate placed thereon by what it has accomplished for self, but by what it has accom plished for others. If a common course in life has made pure hearts glad-in any way elevated the race and lightened its burdens-then such ebaracter is blessed and justly so. In some, good and evil are so nearly balanced that they pass out of the world neither victor nor vanquished. With such life is a drawn battle. II Benedict Arnold had remained true to the cause of liberty rather than self his coarse and degraded nature would have escaped observation, and his name would now be emblazoned on fame's monument beside that of Washington and Green. Men will continue to admire his self-sacrifice and bravery at Quebec and lament his fate. Self triumphed over hu mnanity and Arnold wvas lost. In him there'was good and evil, nearly bal anced, but evil came out victor. At this time in our history we are met by a character that is a riddle and a puzzle. But whether the character of Grover Cleveland shall be blessed or accursed in our judgment depends upon the result of coming events. The triumphs of plutocracy and un holy greed will declare his name blessed; but if the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God wins his name will be accursed. Unique characters come and go on the stage of human life, but we have no par alle-l -.to Cleveland in these days. Strong and self-willed, his courage extorts approbation from his enemies. His fixedness of purpose almost per suades men to think him honest. Is he a product of these degenerate, profigate, and selfish times in our republic? It imay be. Cleveland may have appearedl at the prpe time to serve those who are deliber ately seeking to overthrow, hy de grees, if not suddenly, our republi can form of government, and substi tute therefor a monarchy or an im perialism; yet if such ever succeed] in their purpose, treasonable, and un bolv as it is, it seems to us that Cleveland has ap)peared a generation or more before his time. It is true that the American people seem, for the time being, to be lost to all sense of liberty and patriotism; as a result of a blind partisan spirit, and an idol atrous wvorship of party and men. It is charged, but we hope without truth, that our people seem ready to submit-houmbly surrender, and re ceive without murmer the clanking chains of a most cruel and heartless money despotism. But have not Cleveland and his conspirators aroused a lion from its lair that is not et ready' to be taken; and even now pr nossnver to surrender ? From the grumbling and discontent ini the land this seems probable. If, how ever, the great organized money pow er, with its consequent avarice, greed, and purpose of conquest, has made a fatal blunder in its estimate of a na tion's willingness to surrender to its greed, it is the first time in the his tory of the world as the enslaved na tions of the past and present will at test. That a monarchy or imperial ism is the best form of government for America is being whispered by the god of fiendish greed and main mon-erected in this laud of the free and home of the brave, there can be no question. This question is taking (Ceep root among the favored and aristocraticeclasses in this country. It is being aided and encouragedl by the nations of averice in the old world. That fatal designs against the life of this republic are being cherished by traitors at home and t rants abroad no fair and intelligent miin d will deny. Cleveland's deficient course has given this sentiment re newed hopes. It is apparent to stu dents and patriots that a second struggl for the. principles of the Declaration of Independence is nigh at hand, with one advantage in our favor-the ballot over the bayonet. It will be the last but most sanguin ary struggle ever waged for the in alienable rights of man If these principles again triumph a new Dem ocracy will be established on a broad er and safer basis than ever before. The experience of the past will make the task easy. The new republic will be based on organic ideas that will be invulnerable to the attacks of the classes that hate the liberty of the masses. The laws will be made and unmade by the direct vote of the peo ple. Our present dangerous judici ary system will be a thing of the past. Our President will be shorn of his veto power, and the bribery of lezislative bodies by corruptionists will be impossible. No man will hold office of any kind other than by appointment of the people received at the ballot-box. A. new republic and a new civilization will be inaugurated never dreamed of even by the fathers. But if these great principles of the equality of man, God ordained and imperishable, go down in the coming conflict, the the banner of maminon, hideous and hopelet, will float in triumph over a nation writhing in the most abject slavery and serfdom, Liberty will take its last departure, and the race will plunge down into darkness and barbarism with its hope, its love and its grandeur lost, until the coming of the eternal king. Grover Cleveland's place in the world's history will be fixed. His name will stand at the head of the list of his day as the most prominent actor in the wreck of American liberty, and by the victors his name will be called blessed and they will have it so writ ten. In these trying, tragic and rev olutionary times he stands out as the most prominent figure, and as the champion of the right of the few to rob the many. If the cause of in humanity and plutocracy are victo rious in the impending and irrepres sible crisis, then his place in the annals of our country can even now be determined. The class, that is and ever has been, the tirelese foe of liberty and man's natural and inali enable rights, will write his name high upon the dark and bloodstained arch of time, and the names of Jef ferson, Jackson and Lincoln will be effaced. The few who rule the world to plunder it; whose god (money) has destroyed and devoured the nation, and convert d God's her itage for man into a hell for mam mon, will reverence his name for all time to come, as greed's demi-god towering even above the hideous gory human monsters of the past. By the favored few who hold to the idea that God has decreed that the fittest only ,hall survive, Cleveland will be worshipped as the incarnate od of self. It may be said that I am over drawing. Have I? The question con froting the people to-day is, shall liberty survive or shall it perish. Let us see what Cleveland has done to ward forcing the enslavement of his people. He entered on his second term surrounded by the most auspic iOus uduiitiun i 5**J. Orcator~ og portunities to endear himself to his country were never in the grasp of man. ~In him the people had placed their most cherished hopes. The de pression and paralyzed condition of the country, caused by the open and shameful surrender of the country into the hands of the national bank ing p)ower and organized corporate wealth by the Republican party created consternation and caused the people to drive that party from pow. er even in its strongholds. That p~arty. in its blind worship of the favored few had forsaken the warn ings and teachings of Stevens and Lincoln. Cleveland had come up from among the common people, and they had all reason to trust his lhon esty and moral courage. They were not aware of the evil influences that controlled him at the time of his second election. Some men make the conditions that sumround them and then control them; not so with 'leveland. H~e was controlled by the influences about him. Wall street and the doors of the money changers had opened to -him. He tasted of and was caught and en traned by the allurements of wealth and greed. Soon after his inangura tion an edict wa.s issued and sent forth from the abode of the money changers, who make of the temple of liberty t he house of woe and des ohttion; that their interest demanded the c~estimction of sila r nad larga. isseC of natioinal boni.ie. The at once set in miotion their vast andI invincible political mnaabincry. Congress wa:: at nre e~mvened extr~ordinary ssson. Cleveland's messag.e came and be hob2! it was a secial plea f.or the domz::d of the mneyc- giang. He p.ut forth the absurd and hypocritical plea that the nation was going to perdition for the want of confidence in the money circles, and that if the silv er dollar could be destroyed prosperity would return suddenly like a clap of thun der. He turned a deaf ear to the r of sixty millions of laborers and producers and at once became the champion of shylocks against his peo ple. ~Heset about, with a dogged and determined purpose, to accom plish the unholy and fiendish pur pose of his masters. The stale cant of Wall street such as "sound money," "honest money," a ~'dollar good all over the world" were uttered by him like a trained parrot. In order to enforce the demands of these few for more plunder and spoils, he brought to bear all the power and patronage of his high office. To carry into effect the desire of these modern monsters of greed, to hold up and sack and plunder helpless millions, he prostituted his high position as president of this republic, and, like a seeker of bargains in the market, bartered and traded with spoilsmen and bargained with Congressmen and Senators for their votes in be trayal of the people. Those who withstood his onslaughts and remain ed true to their trusts, he scorned and held as enemies. No shyster in a police court ever rn.esorted to means more questionable to carry a point At the command of his employers in the East, that silver should be dis credited, lie ordered that silver ob ligations should be paid in gold. Then in accordance with the scheme with these conpirators a raid was pretense that gold was sorely needed abroad. Then in order to comply with Wall street's demand for bonds he ordered them to be issued to buy back the gold that bad been purloin ed from the Treasury. All this was done without the war rant of law, but over and above the law. This system of ledger domain was continued until $162,000,000 of bonds had been issued in time of peace, and saddled on the sweat and toil of the American people. By these transactions his British and American brigands by the mere shuffling of the cards made a profit of $10,000,000 in one day. In a life and death struggle at Chicago between labor on the one side and the incar nation of avarice and greed on the other-where weeping men and starv ing women and children were asking for the simple right to live, as the price of their toil and sweat; this denied them by an autocrat and money king; the President of this na tion of Jefferson and Lincoln, sent the national army to cow and crUsh the former and enthrone the latter. And when this unconstitutional anl despotic act was being opposed by a patriotic governor of a Sovcrei-u state he was met by the reply of the President that there "was no time to argue." How much further are we to travel in this direction until we meet the decaying and bloody day: of lome? But if the coming and final death grapel between the mass es and the god of mammon, the peo ple should win, and the destroyer of nations should be annihilated, and its Unas institutions up-rooted, and cast from our land, a different his tory will be written. Grover Cleve land will then appear in his true character. The hatred of patriots for the rule of the money gods is growing bitter and intense. The final crisis is certainly near at hand. If liberty and humanity shall prove triumphant, the rule of organized arragant wealth, for evil will be crashed forever; and the reign of good toward and among men will appcar in its glory, and the world wvill march at a rapid p.ace to the glorious desiiny that God has de creed it. The character of Cleve land will be finl-"Le laid the heav iest hand on justice and liberty." "He was a Nero, only for the power."

Cminco, Jar.. 21.-August Johanson, a saloonkeeper at 3,888 Cottage Grove avenue, wvas fouand in his room over the saloon at midnight. His wife was found lying unconscious on the floor of the diningroom adjoining. The discovery was made by Otto Brenner, a bartender for Johansiau, who went to the room to awaken his part-. ner. Brenner tiurriedly summnoned the police and then used every effort to re vive Mrs. Johanson. When she had conmc around she said she was preparing for bed about 30 o'clock. Her husband was asleep in the adjoining r'ooml when sudldenly three men entered the dining room. Before she could make an out cry one of the intruders threw a towel over her head and bore her to the floor. She felt herself becoming unconscious but before she passed into a comatose state she felt one of the man tugging at her stocking. in which was $75 in bills. Then she lost consciousness and knew nothing until revived by the bartender and the policemen. Mrs. Johanson is 33i years old and her husband was 50. She wvas closely qua tioned and said that about noon she gave her hiusbandc a cup of ceffee and shortly afterward he laid down and went to sleep. Inquiry among the neighbors develops the fact that Johanson and h's wife had frequent quarrels, cause'd by je: l ousy. The police considlered the cir cmstances attending the death of J+ hanson to be sufliciently ~sspicia uls to place all the persons in the place umier Those taken into custody were:Oo Bren ner, the bartender. Donamnan iJ ers, also emp~loyed in the saloon; Alant daL Gus.tafson, a servant girl; S"'unv Fran Neilsonl anda Alexander Pete4Iraon.

They Aro Provecn to be Wholly and Totally NEw YORK, Jan. 21.-The Herald publishes what it claims to be the testi mony taken before the committee in vestigating the charges made by LorI Duriaven against members of the New York Yacht club who had charge of the yacht Defender. The Herald claims that the evidence vindicates Mr. Iselin and all connected with the Defender from the charges. Continuing, Th~e Herald says: "The evidence is so overwhelming that it renders superfluous the report of the committee itself. It admits of only one verdict-that the charges are ut terly and totally false." The Herald devotes four pages to technical testimony and addrcsses by Counsel Askwith and Choate. In the course of the testimony Dun raven claimed that the Defender im mersed three or four inches deeper in the first race than the mecasurenments indicated. He further said: "As a matter of proving or disprov ing my char-ge, in my opinioni nothing would have been satisfactory except that I maintain I requested Mr. Fish to sy to the comimittee that the vessels should be takeni charge of; steps, in fact. taken to see that the ballast could not possibly be taken out of them, and that they should be ranmeasurodl. if p)S sible, thalt eveniig, or as sooni as possi ble, but taken charge of in the mean time."
