Opposite Bank of Sumter. REF0lM1 IS NEEDED. Clarendon is now without a State Senator. What is to be done about it? Do the people fell like being put to the expense of an election to fill out an unexpired term which will only be for one session? As far as we are concer'neo, we are willing to let the seat retuaina vacant until the next regular cleetion, because the mnaterial c0Popsin the last General Assembly will he the same for the next meeting, and~ whenQI they have served ou: the term :he people will~ breathe at sigh of relief. History will record the last session of the South Carolina Legislature as the most bungling and triiling that ever as semblea in a State where the people are supposed to be educated. The little work they did is so botched up that the officers who are to execute the law find it almost impossible to knojw what to do. The amended pension lawv, instead of helping the worthy people entitled to a pension, has retarded the collection of their money so that it is hard to say when they will get their little mite. The County Government law has been so messed that instead of simplifying the machinery, they have made it more cunmbersomie, anda worse-they have made it more expensive. As the law stands now, none but the most eminecut iaw.yers arc comnpetant to sit as membexrs of the board. And as with the laws wo have mentioned, it is so with all of their work. It was not iueomnpetenev which caused this miserable condition: it was the "Peace and Harmony" bypee~risy of unscru pulous poiic s who took advant age of their positions to further their schemres for political advance ment,but if we mist ak not the temper of the people, there wi be a general repudiation of s uh. just as soon as the people can ge: w wack at them. At the last election the people wvent through one of the nastiests cam paigns ever held in the State; the very atmosphere was filled wit~h all kinds of insinuatie::s of wrong-doing. The candidates promised the people that they would look into these chargecs and correLct any evils that -might be existing. A leader of the Rteform forces.was the victim of slan derous inslauations and he was tradd an swaped way that schemig~ politiciaus might succeed. The peoplev were fooled, and that badly, but it was not until too late that they realizel themselves the victims of political sharpers; they at last have discovered~ the fellows who were crying, "stop tlh were the thieves themselves and that they were making the cry against others to throw tie pubie's suspicion away from thiei:. The resut has hecu that the peo ple have paid d. ly for their experi ence; they will hav to oganize a gainst the p)olitiia and. ight for legislation that wil giv themi relief fronm oppressive taxat ion. they' will ha-ec to LLake a i"h for legislation that will give the countryv safe roads and bridezs. and they will have to fight for a system of sehools that are not a faree. The R.eform movement, when it was inaugurated by ten Tillman, J0 MCLr-ua nl oers. did not contemplate the throwing out of one set of money changers for another; they felt the country's need of a change and like patriots they sounded the tocsin and aroused the people. The political fakirs and sharps caught the drift of public sentiment and they too joined in the popular cry for a change; by beating tom toms into the excited ear of the pub lic and making all kinds of fair prom ises; some of these fakirs and sharps got into the temple and for a while everything went along smoothly, but the vicious greed of these schemers commenced asserting itself, as soon as the watchful eye of Tillman and McLaurin was taken off and little by little would their nefarious practices erop out. As a consequence, the Re form party has been retrograding and those of us who went into it from pure motives must stand silently by and listen at those we fought sneer and ridicule us, and throw into our faces the legislation which makes us groan under the heavy weight of in creased taxation, tantalizing and bunglesome machinery to carry on our government, and a free school system that absorbs th: people's money with no value in return; then the little which is given to those who shed their blood for their country's honor, that poor mite has also got into the mercenary channel and by the time it reaches those for whom it was intended, it is so small that it is hardly worth signing a receipt for, if there is much distance to be trav eled to get it. The execution of the pension law now, requires a whole lot of red-tape and every official that takes a look at it also takes from it as his fee; it ought to be a work of love and when the tax payers first consented to allow them selves taxed to pension these noble and worthy people, it was understood that they would get the entire ap propriation instead of having it dis counted by the fees of hungry of ficials. We are allied with the Reform party and have worked with might and main for its success, and while we see no need for factional divisions, we do see great need for reform; we therefore, stand ready to aid in mak ing the Reform movement what its projectors intended it and drive out of our ranks any man having a sus picion of hypocrisy about him. Sometime ago we said that a cloud burst was threatened about the State House and we meant all we said. Since,we have been often asked for an explanation; when we get ready to ex plain we will guarentee there will be o evasiveness or quibbling about it, but there will be an explanation show ng that the people will not be left in oubt as to what their attitude shall be towards some aspiring Statesmen. We will not att:aupt the bush-whack ng tactics so successfully played last smmer; we will come out in the pen, not with dirty insinuations to reate doubts and blind a trusting people, but a spade shall be a called spade; charges will be made out ight and the prooi ;i"n. MIcLAURIN IS A STATESMAN.. The speech of Hon. John Li. Mc Laurin, recently delivered in Con ress is attracting wide spread atten tion, as ind eed has every speech hich he has made since he has been member of that distinguished body. For thirty-five years, biennially here has been a thrashing over of old tariff straw; for ten years the Al iance has been endeavoring to teach the people that the real issue i~s oney, and never has there been so orcible a reminder of this fact as Mc Laurin's speech. He laid bare the mbuggery that is practiced by oth parties upon the people about the tariff. When wve reflect that there s only a difference of seven per cent n the average between the Wilson nd McKinley Bill, and that the Dingley Bill is about midway .be ween the two, it is plain that after ll, the practical question is one of discrimination, and that as McLaurin says, the South has to bear the bur den. He repudiates the doctrine of pro tection for the sake of protection, but boldly claims that if there is to be protection that the South must have its share. The figures he gives are appalling as showing the concentration of wealth into the hands of the money ad manufaturing class. He points out the injustice of forcing farmers to produce cotton in competition with the cheap labor of Egypt and yet deny them the right to purchase goods where they can get them cheapest. This comes home to every farmer, 5.000,000 pounds or 120,000 bales of Egyptian cotton imported into this country and increasing 10.000, 000 pounds exery year. Depressing the price of our cotton to the level of Egyptian labor. It is a mistake to say that it only comes into competi tion with Sea Island cotton. The cot ton that Egyptian cotton competes with is such upland as the Allen long staple. It is only a few years since our farmers could get four cents per pound more for the Allen long stale than for the ordinary short staple. It looked as though we had found a way to diversify and increase our profits; at once came these Egyptian Allen long staple below the cost of production. As Mr. McLaurin says, the wheat and corn growers are protected a gainst importations from Canada, and the cotton planter is "left to be plundered by the whole world." When a man raises his voice in be half of the cotton planter, he is de nounced by the very men who vote to protect wheat and corn. Why is it any more of a violation of principle to vote to protect wheat and corn than cotton? We are unable to say unless it is because the owners of grain elevators are a well organized and wealthy class, who have their special Representatives in Congress, while the cotton planters are disor gorized and have no one except now then an independent thinker, who has the courage to express his senti ments. Of course, McLaurin is criticised He has become accustomed to that. In six years of public service, he has been perfectly fearless in his utter ances-more than once the politicians have attempted to down him, because of this boldness and independence, but each time they have found thosa horney-handed, honest-hearted cotton planters, with whose wrongs Mc Laurin stirred this country the other day, solidly with the man, who is ever ready to fight their battles. We want every man in this State who plants cotton or is interested in cotton planting to read McLaurin's speech. The newspapers only publish extracts. We want the cotton planters of this State to see how the Repre sentatives of New England attacked the man who proposed to lessen their profits by making them pay more for the raw cotton to the man who toils in the broiling sun to make it. One of the great troubles with our system of government is, that Representa tives of the people are either owned by the trusts or syndicates, or are so bound down by party dogma, that they are afraid to tell "the truth, and the whole truth" so "help them God,": The people at home will appreciate McLaurin's speech and they are the only onies, he cares a snap of his finger about. The average voter does not care for fine spun theories and sentiments, they are tired humbug gery and bosh: they want a man of boldness of thought and speech, who will hold up their side of the single tree, and fight for the South and Southern interests, at every oppor tunity, in every place and at every point. PROTECT WHEAT, Win NOT COTTON. When McLaurin introd uced his amendment in the Committee of Ways and Means for a duty of two and one-half cents on all cotton im ported into this country, every Re publican voted against it. Bailey, MLaurin, Swanson and Robertson voted for it. Wheeler asked to be excused from voting and McMillin voted against it. * * * Why should the Republicans, who represent the New England mills, which use Egyptian cotton, vote against it, if it would not raise the price of Allen long staple and other cottons of that class? How could any Southern Demo crat who had voted to protect wheat, fail to vote to protect cotton? * * We confess that we do not under stand much about the tariff, but it does seem to us, that there is a jus tice in all that McLaurin says, which should commend itself to the com mon sense of every farmer. Get the speech and read it. See for yourself. We had hoped to have extracts from it on our outside this week, but could not get it set up in time, we will do our best to have it next week. By writing to Congressman McLaurin he will take pleasure in sending you the whlole speech. * ** The Columbia State had the fair ness to publish a large portion of our Congressman's speech, and give a sensible and just view editorially. Tis is in marked contrast with the Register, which published a long winded dissertation of aiout four columns without publishing but a paragraph of the speech. * * The editoiial of the iRegister on Congressman McLaurin's speech read like it was written, by some ante diluvian spirit, who shook off the cerements of the grave for this pur pose. * * * We cannot conceive of anything more detestable than ingratitude, and one of the boldest exhibitions of this miserable trait was exhibited in the Register's treatment of McLaurin. We are glad that Keoster had the manhood to resent it by severing his connection with this mendicant sheet whose attitude i-as been a political "what is it," or Reformer for revenue JUSTICE TEMPERtEI WITH MERCY. Governor Ellerhe has had a most trying case to handle in the case of Murphy, the alleged murderer of Treasurer Copes;from the begining to the end, he showed a disposition to give the doomed man every chance to prove his innocence. At last newly discovered evidence was brought to him, which while not sufficient to justify the Governor in granting a pardon, was enough to justify him in ommutin thsecntence in life im prisonment. The Governor's action has been severely criticised by some people in Orangeburg where the murder was committed, but their criticisms have not detracted from the justice displayed by the course the Governor pursued. They claim that the evidence upon which in iluencedthecommutation was false and given by a man, although a minister, was of bad character and notnd for I his lying qualities. Let that be true; let the preacher's character be as bla-k as midnight; before Governor Elilerbe, stood a man pleading for his life and protesting his innocence of the crime for which he was convicted. A witness steps in and under ,s solemn oath, swears that at time the culprit is alleged to have committed the murder he was, at that same tim( with him in another State. Undei these conditions had the Governoi turned a deaf ear to the appeal h( would not have handled justice witi mercy. Commutation of Murphy' sentence to life imprisonment was right and we are glad that Governoi Ellerbo had the courage to turn away from the popular demand for Mur phy's blood to listen to an appeal foi mercy. The Unfair Treatuent of Out Repre. sentative is Resented. Mr George R.Koester, who has been editor of the Columbia Register for some time, is no longer connected with that paper. When the Charleston World sus pended publication in October, 1891, Mr. Koester, who had been with the World, accepted a position with the Register, and has been connected with that paper up to the present time. Mr. Koester served as night ed itor, and when Col. T. L. Gantt re signed the editorship of the Register, Mr. Koester took up the dual work and served as editorial wr't er and night editor for the Register and has since done that - ork. Mr. Koester is a young newspaper man, who had worked hard and per sistently, and his many friends in the State wish him well in whatever work lie may undertake in the future. Mr. Koester to-day, in regard to his sev e ance of relations with the Register, aid:: "Ten days ago, or possibly two weeks, the Register received from the associated press advance proof sheet of Congressman McLaurin's recent brillant, sensible and practical speech upon the tariff question. Paren thetically I might say no paper ever had a truer or more valuble friend than Mr. McLaurin has been to the Register, for he proved his friendship by deeds, not words. I handed the copy of the speech to Mr. Calvo, who said lie did not want it, and that Reg ister would combat Mr. McLaurin's position, which had been partially re vealed by his proposition in the com mittee on ways and means, to impose a tariff dutv on cotton imports. I suggested that possibly he had best read the speech first. He did so, but refused to discuss its merits with me. what I said was sufficient to show I was in sympathy with Mr. McLaurin's sentiments. "Mr. McLaurin spoke last Tuesday. The Register of the next av contained an ekaborate three column attack upon his speech, writ ten by Col. J. W. R. Pope, .who was formerly editor of the Register, which, by the way, has had an in finite variety editors, most of whom had but a short connection vith it. While the Register contained a pon derous and wofully weak attack upon Mr. McLaurin's speech. Mr. Calvo re fused to allowv even a brief synopsis of that speech to be printed in the pa per, wvhich was manifestl most un just and unjournalist. Wether one agrees with the speech or not, it must be confessed that it was a most notable and signficant utterance, which a paper with a grain of enter prise and get-up-and-get about it would publish as news. Other papers in the State, which are opposed to Mr. Me Laurin, published copious ex tracts from his speech so that their readers could see for themselves what he did say. But the Register treated the readers as little children who could not be trusted to read something with which it did not agree, and wvho must accept its dic tum without being given an oppr tunity to judge for themselves. uch treatment of Mr. McLaurin was es pecially unfair in view of all he had done for Register. "As a newspaper man I have a re putat ion to sustain and could not af ford to be held responsible for the un just treatment of Mr.McLaurin any more than 1 could allow the intelli gent public to suppose I was the au thor of the editorial written by Mr. P~ope. " immediately determined to resign as soon as 1 could make arrangements to provide for my family. By Thur day evening they were made, and I told several friends of my intention to leave the Register and stated the reasons as above. News travels fast. Possibly the proprietor of theRegister was in formed of my determination, and thought it would be a good stroke to torestall me. At any rate, when I went to the office Friday af ternoon I found a note from Mr. Calvo announing that my services had been dispensed with. "1- demanded a statement of the reasons actuatingMr. Calvo, and ob taincd from him a somewhat ram bling reply, from which I gather that his two .ehief grounds of complaint were may objection to his treatment of Mr. MicLaurin and my general in dependence of character, which made it impossible for me to be a mere looking glass to reflect his opinions. If he wants an editor who will always agree with him and write exactly ac cording to his ideas he will have hard work to find him, for it will take an arobatic mind to keep up with the shifting wiummsicalities of his im agnat ion. I never undertook the task. Those who did were quickly wornout-hence the many changes in the editorial chair. "P~eraps back of all the disagree mcnt about the treatment of Mr. McLaurin there are matters of a per sonal and business nature, which may have had some influence in bringing aout the severance of my relations with the Re :ister. I will not mention t hemt unless forced to do so, forlIhave no desire to publicly discuss Mr. Cal v's private business matters." It is unders,.ood thatMr.ThomasAd dison, who has been connected with the Register for a while and whose writing, is best known as that which appard over the signature o~f "-T.A.," will take charge of the edi torial page of the paper. Mr. Koester has not definitely set tIed upion what lie wvill do. He is now -onsiering several offers that have le made himi.-Col. Correspondent in News and Courier. IJUCKLEN'S ARIMCA SALVE.
