O This secesion of Congress,now drawing near its end, will soon - pass into history, or such history as its do-nothing record will en title it to, with only one charac- a teristic outbreak by Benjamin 7 Ryan Tillman, and that a very a mild one, writes a Washington s correspondent of the New York Times. In this regard this do- 1 nothing session is certainly ena bled to shine with a bright his- - toric light, it holds the grand prix among all expositions where e Tillman has been an exhibitor. r The exhibition referred to was 0 displayed for a more or less ad miring world some weeks ago. Mr. Warren, Senator from Wyo- e ming, who had never before at- a tracted the calcium rays from the S top gallery, wandered into thle f Senate feeling very happy from some unspecified cause, and ob- c served Tillman making gyrations t( of a Tillmanesque sort and hold- g ing forth to the discomfiture of t Mr. Bailey, of Texas. Mr. Warren glanced toward the gesticulating and expostulat- a ing Tillman and perceived a bot- a tle protruding from his pocket. a He slipped across the aisle, ab- h stracted the bottle, smelt it, and t returned it to tne pitchfork f pocket. Later a serious minded Sena tor informed Tillman of the inci- e dent, and he arose and declaimed, a Warren apologized but later the observations of both gentlemen a were stricken out of that unreli- I' able publication, The Congres-h sional Record, by unanimous a consent of both. The burden of h Tillman's expunged remarks b was that he did not like to be n held forth to the country as a person of loose habits, when the . bottle contained boracic acid, it with which he was trying to re- t pet the ravages of something which had recently assailed his w throat. All would have been well had h not Tillman added to this one of E his characteristic outbreaks. He 1? said he never became intoxicat ed, except at banquets, and even then he could find his way home i without being loaded into a cab. le Though this was excised from s The Congressional Record after I Mr. Hoar - and other dignified i gentlemen had argued with Mr. g Tillman, it got into the newspa- P pers, and there was more matter for horrified gesticulation on the t part of good people whom the re pitchfork Senator delights to t horrify. There is no doubt that T an additional shade of red was e. dded to the mental picture of ii the Senator from South Carolina n; which many good people of the c~ iorth use for baby-frightening ~ purposes. It is good time to tell the truth 1 bout Tillman, though he will tc ot tell it about himself, and ' though he delights to say things e~ that make it well nigh impossi ble for even his well wishers to s scertain it, this instance is a P enre picture of it. So serious b as that throat trouble, at which 13 many people scoffed and which a~ few people in the north believed s~ that Tillman has long been down e: n South -Carolina battling with ~ it, withdrawn from a scene in u ahich he delights, and where he u ould rather be, warpaint on, i than anywhere else in the world. Boracic acid has given way to a more stringent remedies, and T Tilman is fighting, if "not for h life, at least for health. P It affords a side light on the lc whole. Deliberately Tillman m holds out his worst side -to the C( public. Deliberately he paints if himself as a savage, wearing a a: breechclout and brandishing a P spear, and deliberately he shocks ~ and paralyzes decent sentiment in the North and the best parts of the South. Even in his own home of South Carolina there in are good mothers who tonight hush their offspring to sleep P with the name of Tillman. f And all the time he is -as good ha a fellow, as sensible and decent Cl a citizen, and as wise a man as one could wish to meet. The a proof? If proof could be asked, cc what more convincing could be a offered than the fact that his ~ warmest admirer in the Senate Tr is George Frisbie Hoar of Mas- N: sachusetts? Like seeks like, even though it be disguised by a rough outside and a savage mask, and Hoar knows Tillman to be a man. The Pilgram answers to the Pal- E metto as old Butler and Hamp ton and all those cavaliers were bi never able to make him do. 1 Why did Tillman deliberately a< seek to spread abroad the im- i pression that he retired from banquets in delirium, that his sobriety was only for the Senate? ~ The question is the despair of his admirers, all the more their E despair for the' reason that the ~ man is absolutely sober, temper-S ate, in every way decent and res- h pectable. But the deeper ques- k tion is: Why does he spread abroad the idea that he is a wild man politically; that he drinks blood and eats raw meat, when e he is as level-headed and sane a b Letter to Rev.

DEvoE & Co.. t Manning Har-dwarc Company sells I our pint6 ian as the world ever saw ? Why oes he pose as a Wilkes, and eek that place in history, when is friends know better? It is the unsolvable mystery f this complex character. It is robable that "Silas Larrabee, aat wise old Maine philosopher, :lved the question some years go when he said that the lion illman loved the jackass' hide, nd that it was a pity. He does eem to love it. It is not long ago that Tillman sing in his place in the Senate, eclared that Abraham Lincoln 'as the greatest of modern men. And I," he said. and then paus :1 and looked upon the men who amembered South Carolina's utbreak which established the outhern Confederacy-'"and I, -om South Carolina''-and he mphasized the name of his State ad paused and waited-' "I, from outh Carolina, tell you so, and yel honored in doing it." Does anyone think this is mere .aptrap-that South Carolina )day accepts Lincoln as the reatest of modern men, and iat Tillman voiced a platitude? 'he bloody shirt still waves in outh Carolina, if nowhere else, ad it is much to be doubted if ay member of the old Hampton istocracy, which Tillman un orsed, would feel safe in saying lat. And having said it, with his iend Hoar's face lifted admir igly toward his, Tillman plung I into more excesses of speech ad tore tue welkin into ribbons. Such a man is the despair of aalysis. Men come here bitter - prejudiced against him,hating is name; they meet him and go tray his admirers, puzzled about im, but trusting him unaltera Ly. He is the most extraordi ry compound in the United tates Senate. He walked out of the Senate to the marble room one day af :r a speech which set the whole orth raving against this man ho ate the flesh and drank the .ood of negroes; and what he id said well justified the raving. ven his Southern colleagues 'oked shocked.

In moments of unusual ndor Tillman has himself ad itted that he loved the negroes id that he is proud of their e. That he is more liberal ward the North in his candid oments than any other South -n Senator is a fact well knowvn. It is not strange, then, that )me peculiar mental twist i ls this man of gentle life, of :oad views and of soft and kind -character to hold himself out ;the worst representative of svagery and the reactionary el nent in civilization? Yet it ould be unfair to call Tillmnan acandid and a poser; when he is ;tering these things he believes rem.

Want Representatives, Good and True. Editor The Manning Times: The more 1 think of your published determination to not become a candi date, the more do I regret your resolu tion. I am one who voted against you two years ago, not because I had lost confidence in you, but because I foolish ly allowed myself to be persuaded on the plea that if you were elected Sena tor Tillman's influence in Washington would be destroyed. I am ashamed to confess that I permitted some professing friends of Tillman to influence my vote but after it was done I realized that I went not only against my conscience but my judgement, and I had hope that seeing now the people's situation you would consent to run for the House so I might have a chance to vote for you. I have known you a long time and I know it is useless to ask you to run once you have made up your mind and so de clared. But will you please tell me why so many sacrificial, or the better term, superficial lambs are offering themselves on the political alter for the offices that have salaries,and only make a little money for the men who hold them, at the expenses of the people, while none as yet have shown a willingness to serve the people where good iiien are needed-the legislature' There is an array out for the coroner's offices, and most of these are making the race on their poverty and hard countenances. I know it is bad to be poor, but if some of these poor men would make fewer tracks in the public road, and more in their own, or some body else's farm, they would not be so poor. I think a man who runs for office on his poverty even for the coroner's office should be discountenanced. I do not think a man should permit himself to vote for anyone because he is crip pled, poor or has a house full of chil dren. Every voter should beiguided by the qualifications of the candidate and not by sympathy. So far I have not seen in your col umns where a man has come forward to offer to do a patriotic duty, all seem bent on serving themselves and no one for the people. This is a sad condition one man in whom the people have great confidence and who has always been a faithful public servant refuses to run for the legislature, and I am very much afraid the honor is going by default, and the people will be forced to take those they do not want, and whose ser vice they do not endorse. I urge some patriotic citizens to step forward now. and the people will only be two glad to send them to the legislature in the place of some we have had in the past. The people want representatives who will represent them, who will make a study of their wants and strive to im press them on the legislature; they have no need for men who legislate in the interests of things that do not con cern us. Mr. Editor, if announcements for the legislature from good men do not appear in your newspaper soon, I hope to see a call for a mass meeting for the purpose of calling out men to run whose modes ty keeps them from getting upon the political stage; such men will only re spond when it is made clear to them that duty to the people demands their becoming candidates.
