Senator Tillman's speech a Sandy Flat, which we give ou readers in this issue, must be disappointment to those wh were expecting hot, sensational matter, or something new It is about what he sai< at Anderson before the legisla ture met,and about what he safe in all of his other speeches befort that body assembled. The Man ning-Raysor bill which pur ports to be a measure to purify the dispensary was prepare< along the line of Senator Till man's suggestions made whil< the candidates were keeping si lent, and according to the sena tor "he had something to do' with preparing the Manning Raysor bill;nevertheless Senato: Manning claims the credit, an< makes that bill the main featurE or plank in his platform. We con tended from the start that th< position assumed- by Senato Manning was not original, an that he remained as dumb as ar oyster until after Senator Till man blazed the way, and nov the Senator in his Sandy Fla speech confirms all that we hay written with regard to Senato Manning's position. An unbiased reading of Sena tor Tillman's speech will dis close that it is an [admission o the dispensary's corruption with an adroit appeal for a con tinuation of the institution unde a promise of getting honest men to purify it. The Stat< dispensary has been running over 13 years, and from the firs year of its existence it has beer under suspicion. The suspicion began when the people discov ered that the books of the insti tution had no rebates recorde< upon them, and it is conceded b; the authorities, the State wa entitled to rebates at that ,time The suspicions became so strong the legislature sought means t reinstate the concern in the put: lic confidence by legislating th State officers off from the boar< -of control, and electing a boar< by the general assembly; unde this arrangement the dispensar; got no better fast,but to the con trary it got worse, the corrup Stionists became more and mor politically intrenched, and henc more bold. The conditions be came ~so bad that again the gen eral assembly made anothe change by legislating out of offic the crew then in control, an made a board of directors. Ha the purification process 'bee: beneficial? We think not, an we believe a vast majority of th voters of the State believe th cancerous sore has eaten deepe into our body politic,. , s dee] that its poison is through th *entire system. Purify the dispensary! hnes men in control! We have bee> promised this ever since th Miles-Haselden-Bovkin b o a r< as kicked out of office. Nos we are told by the founder o the institution that the thing i corrupt, there has been a lot o *stealing,and that all of the prom ises made in the past were bro ken, but we must forget and for give and accept more good prom ises bytgiving the institution an other trial. The people have borne pa * tiently with the State dispen sary, because they hoped i would put enough money int< the treasury to lighten their tax es. It has not done it. The on12 -benefits have come to those wh< were in the purchasing ring *they fattened like pigs at a swil trough, but the people whos< confidence they betrayed con tinued to live on hope and prom ise; a't the same time their taxe were getting higher and higher their public roads and bridge getting worse and worse, thei public schools falling short for lackof funds,and our courts being weighted down with crime. Th people are fast realizing that ev ery branch of the goivernment i becoming lax; our jury system i: menacingly dangerous, incom ~pentency has made its stamp up on the county government, an< that because of lax. unbusines like imethods in coniducting th< public affairs the condition il growing from bad to worse. When Captain B. R. Tillmai made his famous speech at Ben nettsville in 1886, he claimed ther the people were asleep, things were becoming lax, incipient rot tenness had taken possession o: the body politic, and the peopl< must be aroused to save them selves from a condition worse thar serfdomn. He continued along this line, an~d his agitation aroused the people from the mountainm to the sea-it was a revolution It did good, it shook the dry bones, and the people woke u) from their lethargy. If a revo lution was needed then when only the manner of choosing men foi otfice was our trouble-for we had no such thing as stealing amnons the name of common reason how much more is a revo lution needed now, when official corruption is as common- as it was before 1876. The differ ence between the conditions be fore and after 1890 are so marked that none but a blind self benefit ing partizan will refuse to see it. Before 1890 those in control of our politics held the honors and e emoluments of office among an 1 element not in touch with the masses, but while this was so, they administered the affairs in r an economical, honest manner; e since 1890, under the delusion of the masses being in control, we find that ring rule is more firm ly fixed than ever before with the difference, that the govern e ment is not economically nor honestly administered. Corrup tion is enthroned, and honesty - and decency lay prostrate, plead ing to patriotism for rescue. The reporter who covered the Sandy Flat meeting for the State, quotes t the Senator as saying: "I don't r say those men have been steal 3 ing,but some of them got mighty > rich on mighty small incomes." And the Senator was only allud - ing to the last board of control, 1 but he could have safely made the same statement about. the whole management from start to date, and not hit far from the mark. A large majority of the people believe as firmly as they believe the stars in the heavens represent worlds, that the en tire management of the State dispensary has been corrupt. GIVE US LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT. One of the main features, of the Shell manifesto, and one of the main planks in the March convention platform in 1890, which put Benjamin R. Tillman forward as the leader, was Local Self Gevernment. It was this which appealed to the masses 1 and it was this which swept _ everything before it. Tillman made his triumphant march through the State by advocating that principle, and now when a large iproportion of the people ask that the doctrine of Local Self Government be put into practice, Tillman enters a pro test and with the machinery in thelhands of unscrupulous hench men would force the people back into subjection, that he and his cohorts may continue to force up on the masses a liquor control system, against their will. What harm can their be in al lowing the taxpayers to say by their votes whether they want to abolish the State dispensary or whether they want to have a system of county dispensaries, or no liquor sold legally, at all? SIt does seem to us, if the people of a county do not want liquor -sold, it is an outrage for a few Spoliticians to force the sale of -liquor upon them; then 'again, if after 13 years of promise and trial the people find the system in vogue corrupt, and corrupt ing: that it is a moral and a fin rancial failure, the fiscal system -is on the verge of bankruiptcy, -and the school system is retro grading, and they believe if per mitted to change the manner of handling the vile stuff by bring -ing its management under the supervision of our grand juries, there would be less opportunity for stealing,the inducement for ~graftwould not be asgreat, and the Speople receiving the entire profit Swould watch it closer, why should there be objection to give it a trial and see whether or not a county control can be managed any better than State control. Surely it could not be managed any worse, there could not possi ly be more stealing. We have tried the plan of the politician for 18 years. It has been a mis erable failure. Senator Tillman admits there has been a whole lot of stealing, but contends it was the enemies of the dispen sary who got in control that did the stealing, and we say it matt . ers not~ who did the stealing, . whether enemies or friends, the .people were robbed all the same. .When the dispensary firist start ed, the State was entitled to thousands of dollars in rebates, Tillman was in charge, and he was accountable to the State for these rebates. He says he per mitted the head of the whiskey trust to take the rebate, that. is what he says, but the people do not care a rap what he says, they did not get what they were en titled to, and the thousands of dollars the whiskey trust got be Ilonging toSouthCarolina,wasthat much money lost~to the schools of the the State, call it robbery or simple taking, the effect is the rsame. There does not seem to be any doubt, but that Williams Jen nings Bryan will be the next B emocratic nominee for the pres idency. -It begins to look as if his nomination will be by accla mation and unanimous, not even The News and Coirrier is able to find its voice to dissent. It was not long ag that our es teemed contemporary was want ing to "rid the democracy from the blight of republicanism and populism,"and fearing this politi cal lampoon might do serious damage, the frientds of Bryan, went to work early to organize to save Bryan the Populist, from being excommunicated from the democracy by The News and Courier. It will* be' a comical sight to watch our Charleston contemporary -iaking wry faces to swallow Bryanism,butit must swallow it, unless all signs fail. Is it Billy Ball, or bald Billy who isdoing the funny business -on The News and Courier? Some -of the cracks he makes would make us laugh if we were deadI sure they are intended to be! hmorus. Label the next. LYON WAGING A FIGHT FOR THE PEOrLr. This we find in the Florence Times. "We are convinced that the newspapers are not giving Mr. Ragsdale justice in his contro versies with Mr. Lyon on the stump. Unfortunately Mr. Lyon has the sympathy of the two morning papers and Mr. Rags gale has not, and no matter how hard we might try at times to do justice to those whose views of fend us, we cannot help seeing things through our especial spec tacles." If the Times includes The News and Courier in "one of the morn ing 'papers,'" its charge of in justice is without specifications and cannot be snstained. The is that The News and Courier entertains not the sligtest unkind feeling towards Mr. Rags dale, of Florence, or, for that matter, towards any candidate for any office. When Mr. Rags dale or any other South Caro linian climbs high, The News and Courier is ready to applaud. It happens, however, that at this particular juncture in the affairs of the State Mr. J. Fraser Lyon is the leader of those who protest against dishonesty in of ficial life. He is peculiarly their representative. This does not mean that his opponents are less honest than is he. The election of Col. Youmans or Mr. Rags dale certainly would not mean the promotion of a venal person, but, none the less, the defeat of Mr. Lyon would be the victory of the exposed and disgraced "'grafters," the Dispensary thieves, the impudent scoundrels who at this moment are making a last stand to maintain and per petuate corruption, who yearn for the loot of the liquor busi ness, who, like Achan, the son of Carmi, not only "have even taken of "the accursed thing, and have also "stolen, and dissembled also and they "have put it even among their own 'stuff,' " but who see among the future spoils many goodly Babylonish garments and shekels of silver and wedges of gold which they covet and would take, reckless of the degradation of the State. Against these Mr. Lyon stands, and between him and them is the irrepressible conflict. The News and Courier believ ing Mr. Lyon is especially fitted to continue as Attorney General the fight he has so well begun and that his defeat would be cal amitous to the best interests of the people, aids the candidacy in every legitimate way that it can. The reports of the campaign meetings have been, we believe, entirely fair to Mr. Ragsdale and certainly the intention has been to do him full justice. We are not opposing Mr. Rags dale. We are supporting the can didate whom thieves most fear and hate.-The News and Cour ier, 4th inst. Col. W. WV. Lumpkin has with drawn from the senatorial race. Why he ever entered is a puzzle to us, and caused us to be suspic ous of him. When he entered the race at last moment we suspected it was for the purpose of forcing Tillman to make a campaign in the interest of the State dispen sary, we hope we were wrong, but we looked upon Colonel Lumpkin as a man of sense, and must believe he had a purpose in entering that contest, but his sudden withdrawal puzzles us more than ever. There was going the rounds of certain newspapers the story that the railroads would put up a mint of money to defeat Till man for re-electiou. Lumpkin being a railroad man, some peo ple began to believe he was the railroad candidate, and com menced watching for the barrels of gold, but none was forth com ing, and now that Lumpkin has thrown up thesponge,we wonder if the railroads did not threaten him with a loss of job unless he let politics arone and attended to their business for which they were paying him. Was it a choice between "the pink slip" and polb itics? If not,what was it? The fight now being waged up on J. Frazer Lyon candidate for Attorney general is of such a na tre that we believe Mr. Lyon can go home without making another speech and be elected. All of this stuff about Lyon get ting double pay is an attempt to mislead the masses, but it has failed. The precedents for Mr. Lyon accepting pay for his work as a member of the legislature and a member of the investigat ing conmmittee are too many to fool people. If one were to be influenced by Lyon's enemies,he would think that Lyon's double pay meant a voting of the treas ury, whereas the extra compen sation was only for a few days during the session of the legis lature, and which was less than $100. The extra work done by him would be a reasonable fee of any lawyer at $1000, and the peo ple appreciate this. It is clearly shown that the members of the constitutional covention, Sen ator Tillman, Governor Evans and others, received their regu lar salaries, and also their per diem and mileage as members of the convention. The Columbia Record, an ar dent supporter of the dispen sary, is flooding the country with copies of that paper, at whose expense we know not, even goes so far as to question Mr. Lyon's right to expenses for his trips 'he made North and West seeking evidence to unearth the corruption in the State dis pensary. The Record is simply over-doing the business. It de fense of the dispensary is as ex travagant as Candidate Blease's assertion that there'is no cor rutin in the dispensary. Sen. Tillman protests against the election of J. Frazer Lyon to the office of Attorney General. What difference should it make to Tillman who is the chief pros ecuting officer in the State? If politics are to be "purified" there will have to be some prosecu tions and some convictions. Till man says there has been stealing, then why object to Lyon running down the theives?

There is more Catarrh in this section of the ountry than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment. pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis: ease. and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Fhe Crime Committed Against our Soldiiers and Sailers. Midway between Fortress Nonroe, in Virginia, and the Na tional Soldiers' Home for Dis ibled Veterans. lies the little town of Phoebus on the beauti :ul Hampton Roads. No place .n our country surpasses it for tatural loveliness of situation; >ut alas the drink curse makes t as loathsome as a den of ser :ents. Just try to imagine a ;own of a thousand inhabitants with thirty-six legal and sixteen legal saloons. Of course these ;aloons do not derive the great st part of their revenue from he town people, but from the )ld men in the soldiers' home md the young men in the fort. From these two government in stitutions, these outposts of per ition,with their bad women and ,onscienceless landlords, a r e athering their ill-gotten wealth. :f this were all we might endure t: but when we see them de auching, disgracing, and drag ing down to the depths our )right young boys in blue, the nother heart of our Woman's hristian Temperance Union s aroused and enters a passion Lte protest against this great ;rime. To put this protest into sub ;tantial form the National super ntendent of Soldiers and Sailors )pened parlors in this sin-cursed ,own in an effort to draw the nen away from the evil. We aave a large room fitted out with i piano, rocking chairs, lamps, fables, books, and chairs, and a irugget on the-floor. More than eight weeks were spent in col lecting these articles. Small be ginnings, you say? Yes, foar Dld lamps and four old chairs, loaned by a good friend of Phoe bus, Mr. Libby, were all your superintendent had to offer the first night, but her "boys" came, being then stationed at Fortress Monroe and vicinity during the "maneuvers, "when enough-mon ey was wasted in shot and pow der to care for all these men mentally and spiritually. But good meetings were held and the Christian people of the town, and the good-white-rib boners of Newport News came in to 13elp sing and carry on the meetings. About one hundred signed, the pledge; seventeen raised their hands for prayer one night. One boy came in so intoxicat ed he could not walk straight and asked me to sing "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" *He joined the singing, his voice sweet and strong;' ringing out above all others. Turning to him, I said: "Laddie, where did you learn it?" He replied, "At my moth er's knee." An Epworth League boy, his father a minister, he had wandered away from home, enlisted, and learned to; drink in the "canteen," as he had been enlisted for five years or more. Again/I said: "0 laddie, does your mother know this?" and he replied: "Oh, no, lady, don't tell ber. It would break her heart!" With tears streaming down his face he proinised to try to do better. Friends, our good work must go on. The state superintendent of this department in Virginia, Mrs. S. Townsend, a good, wise tactful mother of the white rib, bon army, is living in the house, and is ready at all times to lend a helping hand. The boys love her; she loves them, and many a mother's boy is being [saved in these rooms. When I think of the bright young soldier life being so de graded and debauched, my heart grows sick within me, and I be seech God to help me to arouse our good women and the people of the nation to make an effort and a strong one, to give our soldiers a chance to be MEN.

In many churches one now finds on the printed order of ex ercises these words: "Whosoever worshipest in this church, enter it not without one prayer to God, for thyself, for him. who minis ters, and for those who worship here." This behest has been sorely needed. The spirit of irrever ance is widely manifested: in the disregard of the Sabbath, in _ lightly held marriage vows. in flippant address to the aged, in frivolous use ofScripture phrase-, ology, in contempt of law and straint everywhere.
