WEDNESDAY, FEB. 5, 1896.
The United States Senate has
passed a free coinage bill. Ben Till
man did it with his little pitchfork.
The effortron the part of some to
create more court circuits is meeting
with disapproval, we are glad to say.
The people are not ready to be taxed
to give a few aspiring lawyers a job.
The gold-bug newspapers are vie
ing with each other to see which can
say the hardest things about Ben
Tillman's speech. At the same time
the masses throughout the Union are
paying no attention to the abuse but
are demanding the speech itself.
The result is that Tillman's speech
will be as widely read as Coin's Fi
.nancial School and the other works
of Harvey on finance.

DEMOCRATIC UNITY,
Integrity and Success Para
mount to Every Other Po
litical Consideration.
I am a democrat.
Why?
Because, fully convinced that the
fundamental principles ol democracy
constitute the very gospel of politics,
and that their recognition, adoption
and general application in political
affairs are essential to the domestic
peace and welfare, happiness and
prosperity of our county. The prac
tice of democratic principles will tend
to harmonize all sections, all classes,
all interests-to promote the good of
all and to injure none-to maintain
tbe rights of each without wronging
any other.
What are those principles?
1. Strict construction of the consti
tution.
2. Equal rights, justice, privileges
and opportunities to all.
3. Each man to bear his proper
pr oportion of the public burdens, each
dollar of property its just share of
public expense.
4. Home rule.
-5. Low taxes, and no permanent
public debt to fatten parasites.
6. Public ecornomy.
7. Free elections .under home
authority.
8. No bounties or protective tariff,
but tariff for revenue only.
9. No trusts to vex or tax the peo
ple.4
* 10. No class or sectional rule or
distinctions.
11. The government of the people
by themselves for the benefit of all,
without distinction of section or class.
12. The majority should rule-not
to oppress the minority but to pro
tect both majority and minority by
zealously guarding the rights of every
individual and by giving equal op-.
portunities to all.
Democracy is the real party of the
* people, and is the only truly national
party of the country. It has respect
table strength and following in every
state and territory, in every county
and city, at every ballot box. No
other has.4
The republican party was begotten,
born and bred in one section, and in
hatred of another. It is, therefore, a
sectional party; and, true to its ori
gin, its views are gangrened, narrow,
contracted, provincial. It has not
produced a single leader of broad and
liberal views, nor can it. From its
parents, its nurses, its sponsors, its
teachers, it has learned to sneer at
the constitution and to appeal to
hbighei law." It encamps outside
the constitution, not under it. It fa
vors sectional division, sectional jeal
ousy, sectional prejudice, sectional su
premacy and class rule. Its princi
pies and prejudices tend to divide the
country into a ruling section and a
subject section-to divide our citi
zenry into a ruling class and a sub
ject class. Its prejudices are its
*principles. And as the former are
sectional the latter must be narrow,
contracted, vicious -the very opposite
of the principles of democracy. It,
therefore, favors all that the national
democratic party opposes, and op
poses all that the national democratici
party favors; and this because of its
distinctively sectional origin, preju
dices, habits, training and character.
Democracy practically came into
power on the accession of Jefferson C
to the Presidency in 1801, and con
tinued largely in control of national C
afairs until the accession of Lincoln
in 1861. During that long period ~
our country was extended from the'
lakes to the gulf, from the Atlantic to 5
the Pacific, and made secure against ~
foreign aggression; the people gener- r
ally were prosperous, contented and
happy, our commerce was taking ~
possession of the seas, and our only a
drawback was the strife engendered ti
by the enemies of our constitution.
The sectional republican partyd
arose. In consequence of unfortu
nate dissensions and divisions in thet
national democratic party, and by
virtue of that constitutional provision
which makes it possible for a presi
dent to be elected by a minority, the
sectional republican party prevailed
in the preidential election of 186.0,
ad Mr. Lincoln became president
[arch 4, 1861. Mr. Lincoln seemed
) be disposed to be moderate, con
arvative and conciliatory towards
ae states against which he headed
is hostile sectional party; but he
ould not quell the storm which he
ad helped so much to raise, and his
arty ran away with him. Sad were
be consequences to the constitution,
: the liberties of the people gener
fly, and especially to the people and
overnments of those states in hos
ility to whom the sectional republi
an party had been jorganized. Those
onseqifences need not be here de
ailed.
May hand forgiving o'er their crimes be
drawn!
Their night is gone, and lo ! a glorious
dawn!
The worst of all was that a tryan
ical sectional party was strongly in
renched in all the high places of the
government. For nearly thirty-two
ears it held almost complete sway,
rampling under foot the constitution,
he rights of sections, states and peo
)le, refusing a lawfully elected presi
lent his seat, andjenacting a code of
egislation and corruption that may
equire generations to reform. What
ionest man wants the return of those
lays, the memory of which is as the
oad of night-mare to the whole
sountry?
At length, after some partial demo
:ratic successes which weakened the
power of the sectional republican
party, the country rejoiced in 1893 to
ind itself once more with a truly na
ional government-president and
songress representing all the people
Af all the states, (as did the executive
n '85-89), and not merely a preja
liced and sectional party. Although
he democratic majority in the senate
was but nominal, yet in less than two
years democracy accomplished these
results and others:
1. Rescued the country from finan
eial panic into which the. iepublican
legislation had plunged it.
2. Repealed the anti-home-rule fed
aral-elections law passed by the sec
tional republican party to retain itself
in power.
3. Restored to taxation bythe states
undreds of millions of dollars which
republican class legislation had ex
Dmpted from state authority.
4. Broke down in part the Chinese
walltariff which the sectional repub
lican administration of Harrison,
Reed and McKinley had constructed
to keep out foreign products. -
5. Opened the way for our people
to find better access to foreign mar
kets for their products.
6. Enlarged the free list of imports,
ind made trade freer with the world.
7. Reduced the expenses of the
overnment.
8 Purged the pension list of im
posters and perjurers so as to make it
a roll of honor.
9. Shattered the trusts built up by
the sectional republican party to
arass and plunder the people.
10. Destroyed the principle of pro
ective tariffs and of bounties which
hie sectional republican party had
crporated in the law for corrup
ion purposes.
11. Started the country upon a
areer of renewed prosperity to the
lisappointmnent of the sectional re
publican party.
12. Checked sectionalism, promnot
ad good feeling among the people
svhom the sectional republican party
ad succeeded in estranging from
ach other, revived patriotism and
-egard for the constitution, and re
>uked the "communism of wealth"
Ld all other forms of socialism.
Let the people sustain and en
~ourage the national democratic par
y in its labors for our redemption
rom the evils of sectional republican
nisrule, and soon will they become
ble to recover their lost prosperity.
)ur commerce will again cover the
eas the hum of industry will ascend
rom every hill and valley, and songs
f contentment be heard in every
iome.
Upon the unity and integrity of
)emocracy depend the existence and
ficient usefulness of the party.
)emocrats should, therefore, regard'
be unity, integrity and success of
heir party as paramount to every
iomideration of personal choice for
flice or of personal preference for
olicy, and carefully guard against
tissensions and divisions. "In union
s strength;" in dissension and divis
on, suicidal folly. Personal prefer
~nes as to nominees and lines of po
itical action should always be held
1 subordination to the fundamental
rinciples of the party. In selecting
artv candidates we vote for persons,
Lodshould always try to putL forward
he best men; at the ballot-box we
'ote for principles. The best men
d the best principles be.st fit to
~ether. But wvhether in selecting
~ominees or deciding upon lines of
oliy, "the majority should rule."
Every office is a "post of vantage."
f held by a worthy democrat, the
endency is to strengthen the party
n that vicinity. Democrats have
jut a single office to lose or give
way, and should contest for every
ne in sight. Party politics, state
.nd federal, must enter every elec
ion, however insignificant the office;
or neither party will nor should lose
ny opportunity to strengthen itself
or he next coming congressional,
u bernatorial, senatorial or presiden-1
al election, or for a possible guber
atoial appointment in case of a
enatrial vacancy. Democrats can
Lot afford to lose a governor or leg
slator or sheriff or bailiff in Texas, or
lissouri, or Kentucky, or Maryland,
r anywhere else; and in whatever
tate there is a contest between Dem
'cracy and the sectional. and tyranni
al republican party,the democrats of
thr states should give their breth
ren words of encouragement.
Cheer, brethren of Kentucky and
ary land, cheer. Be not discouraged
t temporary disasters. Yield per
nal preferences, silence dissensions,
eal divisions, close ranks, rally
und the flag and on to victory!
ou know what republican misrule
as been. Do you want it established
gain? It cannot come if you make
2 unity, integrity and success of
emocracy paramount to every other

success means success of right,

"If we sit down at set of sun
And count the things that we have done,
And counting, find
One self-denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard;
One glance most kind,
That fell like sunshine where it went,
Then we may count that day well-spent.
But if through all the live-long day,
We've eased no heart by yea or nay,
If through it all,
We've done no thing that we can trace
That brought the sunshine to a face,
No act most small,
That helped some soul and nothing cost,
Then count that day as worse the lost."
BE AN HONOR TO YOUR ORDER.
Despite whatever degree of natural
depravity we admit in humankind,
there is, in every sensible man's
mind, an innate feeling of personal
pride which may be denominated his
sense of honor. The quality of this
sense and the degree of its power are
dependent both on the original
bounty of its great Creator and upon
the careful cultivation of it in the
practical life of its possessor. God
in his infinite wisdom has never
overloaded an individual's capacity
with any quality of -mind or soul;
nor has He ever failed to endow him
with characteristics that are capable
of being trained and developed for
his good.
Whether He gives ten talents or
five or one, He still bestows upon ev
ery man those gifts of character that
are specially appropriate and intend
ed for him to increase in accordance
with his ability.
Take from a man his self-respect,
his regard for his word, his sense of
justice to others, and you at once
place him on a level with the brute
creation, lead him into crime, and
land him in destruction. There is
no hope for a dishonorable man here
or hereafter. The most binding ob
ligations of Pythianism appeal to a
man's honor, and teach him that his
word is as good as his bond. Trust
and confidence are corner stones of
the temple of fraternity in which ev
ery true knight professes to dwell.
Not only is it incumbent on every
Pythian to guard his honor in his
lodge, but to exemplify its power in
all his daily walks and acts with his
fellowmembers and with the wbole
world. Pythianism is not intended
simply to make a knight a true man
to his fraternity, but it endeavors to
engraft and develop in him those
noble principles which will make
bim a better man, true to his fellow
citizens, his family, and his Creator.
A knight without a conscience is
like a tree without roots-he can't
stand the test of time. He'll soon
fall. How often it is, in the face of
these facts, that a knight thought
lessly or perhaps impetuously
refers unkindly to a brother,
or a member of a broth-,
er's family,t sometimes creating an
impression, whether true or false,
that may becloud the life of an inno
cent being, or retard the reformation
of a repentant sinner! How many
times are golden opportunities offered
for a knight to aid, uphold or protect
his fellow-man by a word, a look or
an act, when his very silence or inac
tion serves to push him on down in
his trouble and sorrow !
A proper appreciation of the full
meaning and force of Pythian obliga
tions and teachings should exemplify
to the world the nobleness of our
tenets in their beautiful influences
upon the life and acts of every
knight.
To be a true knight is to be the
soul of honor-1
To help the weak, to cer the strong;
To uphold the right, to crush the wrong.

A SPARROW'S SILVER CASKET.
Spaniards In Havana Raised $60,000
to Give the Bird a Funeral.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
What is a historical fact in Cuba
and what appears to be a second edi
tion of "Who Killed Cock Robin?" is
an interesting story related by Col.
Fernando Figueredo, a noted Cuban
leader.
It appears that years ago a Span
iard with an idea of rendering a val
uable service to the city of Havana,
brought from Spain a large number
of sparrows similar to the English
variety, and which were thought to
be useful as a city bird, in forming
an army of diminutive city scaven
gers. Imagine his surprise and an
ger when, upon arriving at the city
he was charged an excessive duty on
the little birds. In a fit of passion
he liberated all the birds and became
involved in trouble for trying to
evade the customs duties.
The sparrows invaded the city,
where they multiplied in a surpris
ing manner. They proceeded to
wage war upon a small city bird
which they drove entirely out of the
city limits. For this act the Cubans
called them the Spanish bird, and in
time began calling the Spaniards
"gorrion," which means sparrow.
On this trifling subject a very bitter
feeling obtained a foundation. It
was carried so far that the Spaniards
recognized the sparrow as the em
blematie bird, much as we Americans
look upon the eagle, and they zeal
ously guarded the welfare of the
midget.
After the outbreak of the revolu
tion in 1868, the bitterness in this
line as well as others became intensi
fied. One day a sentinel on guard at
the palace in Havana found the
body of a dead sparrow, which had
fallen from one of the trees in the
park. With the greatest care and
reverence he took the little body be
fore a council of volunteers then be
ing held. The volunteers deliberated
over the death of the bird and on the
impulse of the moment they passed
resolutions of respect for the de
ceased sparrow, and made an assess
ment among the members of the vol
unteers whereby they raised $60,000,
the idea being to give the little
Spanish sparrow an imposing funeral.
A skillful silversmith was summoned
before a committee and ordered to
make a beautiful casket of silver, to
be elaborately trimmed with gold
for the bird. The handsomest hall
in the city was obtained and the
drapers put to work to prepare it for
the reception of the sparrow, which
was to lie in state. In the center of
this hall a richly decorated' cata
falque was erected, and on this the
little casket containing the remains
of the sparrow was placed.
All the city and military officers
visited the hall and paid homage to
the bird. The volunteers appointed
a strongly armed body to guard the
remains. A Bishop was forced to of
ficiate at the ceremonies. While the
body was lying in state the occu
pants of the houses on the streets on
which the funeral procession was to
march were ordered to have their
houses draped.
When the day of the funeral ar
rived the volunteers were out in full
force and the procession was one of
the most imposing. During the
march several p'-eons lost their
lives. One was observed on the side
walk laughing and presumably ridi
culing the demonstration and one of
the volunteers shot him down in his
tracks. A house was passed that
had not been draped for the occasion,
and one of the inmates being seen by
the volunteers was also shot. After.
a lengthy march the casket was re
turned to the starting point.
About this time an unfortunate cat,
presumably of Cuban inclination-as
a Spanish cat would never have been
guilty of such an act--was discovered
on a house top eating one of these
sparrows. The amazed feline was
seized, tried, and after a speedy
court-martial was brought out into
the public square and four skilled
marksmen were selected as execu
tioners. After the criminal cat had
been executed the body was buried
in unconsecrated ground.

WANTS A SUGGESTION.
The Treasurer of The Clarendon
Monumental Association Would
Like to Get Rid of the
Money on Hand.
Editor The Manning Times:-Sev
eral years ago a few patriotic citizens I
conceived the idea of erecting on the
court house square a Confederate
monument. A call was made, a
meeting was held in the court house,
composed principally of ladies, and
the meeting resulted in the organiza
tion of The Clarendon Monumental
Association, having as its aim thei
raising of funds to erect the proposed
monument. I was elected treasurer(
of the association. These ladies in
terested themselves in securing sub
scriptions, and something over six
hundred dollars was reported sub- I
scribed, but the actual collections
amounted to something in the neigh- ~
borhood of thirty dollars, twenty-five C
dollars being contributed by a firm ~
in Richmond, Va. The association ~
went the way that many of its kind ~
do, for the want of sufficient patriot- I
ism and fidelity to accomplish its ob
ject. The thirty dollars of the asso- I
eiation were left in my hands, and I
after paying for some little inciden- a
tals still have on hand between I
$29.00 and $30.00, which I am tired of 'J
having the responsibility for, and t
would like to get rid of.
I take this means of letting the r
members of the old association know y
that I still have this money. and t
would like for some one to suggest i
some suitable way for me to get rid 1:
of it. I shall keep it a few weeks t
longer, and if no other way is sug
gested to which it might be appro
priated and relieve me of its respon
nibility, I shall refund it to thoser
who gave it or turn it over to some
other monumental assocition.
Yours truly,
J. HARRY LESESNE.
