M.-Sween-y Shou'd be Rlecled.
For years it lias been a custom j
in South Carolina to indorse an ;
acceptable1 administration. Such j
being the case, we are constrained
.to Bay that Governor McSweeney
is fully entitled to that indorsement
which will again put him
iu the gubernatorial chair. Ho
has been faithful and impartial
in executing the laws of our
State; he has not caused one drop
of innocent blood to bo shed; lie
has pursued a firm, decisive courso,
which worked without friction; he
lins exercised tho executive clem,ency
without fear, favor, affection,
pr hope of reward in audi way as
to challenge tho admiration of his
opponents; and he line left 110 blot
on liia trail in all liis works.

It is true, as claimed by Governor
McSwoeney's opponents,
?liat there are blind tigers in Co
lunibia and Charleston, but they
pro not more numerous than under
pther administrations. In other
parts of tho State, Governor Mo?>weenoy
lias succeeded in gnining
the hearty co-operation of tho local
authorities, which bus removed the
expense of maintaining tho largo
constabulary forco.
Hhe management of nil departments
of tho State government lms
been sagacious, and the governor
lias not been swayed from duty by
pny intluonoe, no matter how
Strong. Under his administration
our State has progressed rapidly in
all industries. Outsido capital roplizing
that our people were at
peace and not stirred up by excespivo
or aggressive moasures, lias
sought investment in our midst,
tiy seeking the support of local
pfficers, Governor McSweouey has
accomplished this state of affairs,
lie has also resurrected old claims
against tho nutional government
which will pay our debt thereto
pnd leave us a balance. He has
givon us a business administration
and yery justly expects us to
indorse him by election.
When violence has threatened to
supercede law our governor has
been prompt in action?somotimes
going on the ground in person to
preserve good order.
Liko Benjamin Franklin, Governor
McSweeney started life in
the newspaper business; ho sold
papers on the streets in Charleston
and persovered in his course until
he got to be editor of a paper, then
president of tho Stato press association,
then mayor, then legislator
and chairman of tho military committee,
then lieutenant-governor
twice, then governor, than whom
wo seek in vnin for n better example
nt the present clay.
We have tried MoSweoney and
found him equal to all occasions,
therefore we should not go hack
pn tho custom of a contury and refuse
him that indorsement, which
hoe ho often been accorded to men
who did less to deserve it than he.
We hiprp information leading us
to believe tliat Governor McSweeney
wi|l at least be in the second
|-ace, if he is not chosen at the first
primary; and we hope he will be ';

tlii metropolis of the North, wne!
the i-o- no of raoo riots mow <?NVr.?
v tl n?i to y that have ot'cui'inl in
the South. This follows rloso on .
uiu heels ot' the deplorable riots
in New Orleans. The New York
Tribune, the Press, Suu, and other
New York, newspapers denounced
1 ho npp.ttlP r?f \rflW ( Jrlnono nu onw
?A,v,f w * *>****? ?o nuf"
ages, and one paper in Boston demanded
that Federal troops bo
sent to the sceno and the city put
under martial law.
Now a riot of exactly tho same
nature, if not with such tragic results,
has occurred in tho heart of
New York. There was no Southerners
engaged iu this riot, no
j "rebels'' had a hand in it. It wnB
! a Northern affair in which Northj
cm people took part, nnd the mob
i exhibited tho same characteristics
j of savagery us the mob in Now

A Beautiful Sentiment.
Prohibition is n beautiful sentii
ment, but a miserable failure in
! practice, says (lovornor MeSwee- j
neo. The prohibitionist can use
no stronger argument than to cite
the States that have tried prohibition.
Let ue soe the result of such
argument. Maine, Iowa, and lvan??.
have prohibition under their
constitution Now compare these
; States with South Carolina by the
repor4 of the United States Commissioner
of Internal Revenue for
the year ending June 30, 1890.
Mains?Number of retail liquor
dealers, 1,125.
Iowa?Number of retail liquor
dealers, 3,730.
Kansas?Number of retail liquor
dealers, 2,5?Sl.
South Carolina?Number of retail
liquor donlors, 324.
The 324 credited to South Carolina
includos ovory liquor dispenser
in the Stnte. Thus it is seen
that tho prohibition Stnto of Kansas,
with one and a half million
population, lias over ten times as
many illegal liquor licenses as
South Carolina; that Iowa, with a
fraction over two million population,
has sixteen times as many;
aiul that in the State of Maino,
with about sovon hundred thousand
population (nbout one-half the
population of South Carolina), has
five times as many.
Bear with mo while 1 oall your
attention to more unprejudiced
and incontrovertible evidenco of
the fallacy of prohibition. A committee
of fifty of the most prominent
citizens of the United States,
including Seth Low, President of
Columbian University, nnd Charles
W. Elliott, President of Yale
University, nnd othor men of equal
prominence, not identified with
politics, were appointed to investigate
the operations of the liquor
laws in severnl of the various
States. Tbrv renort liavinc found
one hundred find oiglity-two
places where liquor wns sold in the
city of Portland, Me., not including
pocket peddlers, houses of illfntno,
express companies, clubs,
and certain oyster restaurants;
thnt while tho investigation wns
in progress several new bars wero
opened. The Portland Express,in
its issue of .Tune 21, 181)1, contained
tho following protest of cor- |
tain liquor dealers (prohibition
town) of that city: "Some liquor
dealers claim that their profits are
cut down by the competition of
shops allowed to exist in tho vicinity
of their own places of business
and that tho regular collection of
protect ion money may also bo mado
from thorn. These demands nre in
some instances said to be so excessive
that the dealers say they swallow
up tho lion's share of the profits
and sometimes actually make thorn \
run more disreputable places than l
they otherwise would in order to
goi in money enou^n to bo ftblo to
respond to tlio perpotual squeezing."
In Augusta, Mo., tho capital of
tho State, sixty-two places were
found in operation, or ono to every
117 inhabitants.
Ellsworth, with 2,200 inhabit,
(ants contains fourteen bars and
four other places (apothecary

Col. tloyt Opposed to 5tate Colleges.
There nro n class of men so
blinded with prejudice against the
dispensary that they will support
anything that opposes it, oven if
they have to give their support to
an enemy of tho State institutions
of higher learning. AVe can not
understand what tho friends of
AVinthrop, Clomson, South Carolina
College, and the Citadel are
thinking about. Do they not know
that Colonel Hoyt has always been
a lender in making a fight against
tho State colleges? Ho has always
been nn ultrn-donominntional college
advocate. With Colonel Hoyt
in tho gubernatorial chair, and a
Legislature of his own way of
thinking, our Stato institutions of
higher learning are in danger of
ruin. There has never been a
movement to cripple these institutions
of learning but that it had
tho warm annnnrl of r?olo?rtl TT.

wo are, therefore, surprised to find
men professing friendship for those
glorious institutions helping Colonel
Iloyt and the other enemies of
the colleges to get into position to
strike theui a fatal blow. Wo think
it the duty of evory friend of the
Citadel, South Carolina College,
Winthrop, and Clemson to agitate
this matter, that those who have
permitted themselves to be lulled
to sleep by the liquor discussion
to wake up and prevent the ruthless
hand of the destroyers from
