It leads also to a challenge of the ij wild and reckless pension expenditure, . which overleaps the bounds of a grate ful recognition of patriotic service and prostitutes vicious uses the people's prompt and generous impulse i to aid those disabled in their country s defease. Every thoughtful American must realize the importance of check ing at its beginning any tendency in public or privete station to regard i frugality and economy as virtues I which we may safely outgrow. Ine ! toleration of this idea results in a j waste of the people's money by their | chosen servants, and encourages pro digality and extravagance in the home life of our countrymen. "Under our scheme ot government j the waste of public money is a crime | against the citizens, and the contempt i of our people for economy and frugali ty in their personal affairs deplorably 3aps the strength and sturdiness of i our national character. '?It -is a plain dictate of honest and good government that public expendi tures should be limited oy ptiblic necessity, and that this should be measured by rules of strict economy; | and it is equally cleaV that frugality among the ]>eople is the best guaranty : of contented and strong support of free institutions. One mode of mis I appropriation of public funds is avoid ed when appointments to office, instead I of being rewards of partisan activity, are awarded to those whose efficiency promises a fair return of work for compensation paid to them. To j secure fitness and competency of ap i poinrees of office, and to remove from political action the demoralizing mad ness for spoils, civil service reform has found a place iil ovu public policy and ! laws. The benefits already gained through this instrumentality and the j further usefulness it promises, entitle it to the hearty support and encourag i merit of all who desire to see our pub j lie services well performed or who | hope for the elevation of political sentiment and purification of political I methods. '?The existence of immense aggrega ; tions of kindred enterprises and com binations pf business idterests, formed for the purpose of limiting the produc tion and fixing prices, is inconsistent 1 with a fair field, which ought to be ! open to every independent activity. legitimate strife in business should ! not be superseded by enforced conces sion to the demands of combinations that have power to destroy, nor should people to be served lose the benefit of cheapness which usually results from wholesome competition. These aggre gations and combinations frequently constitute conspiracies against the interests of the people and in all their phases they are unnatural and oppos ed to our American sense of fairness. To the extent that they can be reach ed and restrained by Federal power, the general government should relieve our citizens from their interference and exactions. "The loyalty to principles upon which our government rests positively demand that equality before the law which it guarantees to every citizen should be justly and in good faith con ceded in all parts of the land. Tbe\ enjoyment of this right follows the badge of citizenship wherever found, and, unimpaired by race or color, it ap peals for recognition to American manliness and firmness. "Our relations with the Indians located within our borders impose upon us responsibilities we cannot escape. Humanity and consistency require us fc6 treat them with forbearance, and in our dealing with them to honestly and consider ately regard their rights and interests. Every effort should be made to lead them through the paths of civilization and education; to self supporting and independent citizenship. In the meantime, as the nation's wards, they should be properly defended against the cupidity of designing men and shielded from every influence or temptation that retards their advance ment. "The people of the United States have decreed that on this day the con trol of their government in its legisla tive and executive branches shall be given to a political party pledged in the most positive terms to the accom plishment of tariff reform. They ? have thus determined in favor of a j more just and equitable system of Federal taxation. The agents they have chosen to carry out their pur poses are bound by their promises, not less than by the command of their masters, to devote themselves unremit tingly to this service. "While there should be no sur render of principles, our task must be undertaken wisely and without vin dictiveness; our mission is not punish ment, but rectification of wrongs. If j we raise life-time burdens from the j daily life of our people, we reduce the 1 inordinate and unequal advantages too long enjoyed. This is but a ne cessary incident of oar return to right and justice. If we exact from unwill ing minds acquiescence in the theory of honest distribution of government funds, we but insist upon the principle which underlies our free institutions. When we tear aside the delusions and misconceptions which have blinded our countrymen as to their condition under the vicious tariff law, we but show them how *jar they have been led away from the ?aths of content ment and prosperty. When we pro claim that the necessity for a revenue "to support the government furnishes the only justiti cation for taxing the people, we announce a truth so plain that its denial would seem to indicate the extent to which men's judgment t may be influenced by familiarity with j perversions of the taxing power. , When we seek to reinstate the self confidence and business enterprise of our citizens by discrediting abject de i pendence upon governmental favor, we strive to stimulate those elements | of American character which support , the hope of American achievement. "Anxiety for redemption of the pledges which my party has made, and solicitude for complete justifica tion of the trust the people have re ' posed in us, constrain me to remind I those with whom I am to co-operate | that we can succeed in dojng work ! which has been especially set1>efore us I oniy by the most sheerest, harmon ! ious and disinterested effort Even if | insufferable obstacles and opposition ! prevent consummation of our task, we i shall hardly be excused; and if failure ? can be traced to our fault or neglect, i we may be sure the people will hold j us to a swift and exacting accountabi lity. "The oath I now take to preserve, protect and and defend the Constitu tion of the U nited States, not only im pressively defines the great responsi bility I assume, buusuggests obedience to the constitutional demands as a rule by which my official conduct must be guided. I shall, to the best of my ability, and within my sphere of duty, preserve ^the' Constitution by loyally protecting every grant of Federal power it contains, by defend ing all its restraints when attacked by impatience' and restlessness and by enforcing its limitations an<v reserva tions in tavor of the States and people. "Fully impressed with the gravity of the duties that confront me, and mindful of my weakness, I should be appalled if it were my lot to bear un aided the responsibilities which await me. I am, however, saved from dis couragement when I remember that I shall have the support and counsel and co-operation of wise and patriotic men who will stand at my side in Cabinet places, or will represent the people in their legislative halls. "I find, also, much comfort in re membering that my countrymen are just and generous, and in the assur ance that they will not condemn those who by sincere devotion to their ser vice deserve their forbearance and ap provak Above all, I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men, and whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people; and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek His powerful aid." ?*.. ON LYNCHING BKNT. Tlift. Absence of a Material Party the Only Thing that Prevented. There would have been a lynching over hi Lexington county Wednesday night but for one reason, and that was a good one ? the man to be lynch ed couldn't be found- The man wanted was Aaron Kinard, a cousin of the Kinard who is now heid in the penitentiary to preserve him from the fury of a Lexington lynching party. Aaron Kinard's offense was not so serious as that of his cousin, but it was sufficient to make the blood of every white man boil with indigna tion. Several days ago he made a very insulting proposition to a white Woman, who reported it to her broth er. He told others about it and im mediately it was determined that the man should die. Fully fifty men collected last night near Kinard 's house for the purpose of avenging the insult, but Kinard evidently had scented the danger and skipped, for he could not be found at his house. The crowd searched several negro houses in the neighborhood, but failed to find their man. They went to a church where a service was being con ducted, and without disturbing any body looked about for their man, but he was not to be found. Some of the more excitable of the crowd were in favor of going back to Kinard's house and whip his wife and children in order to make them tell where he was. They wanted to go out general ly on a whippiug expedition in order to make somebod^Xell where Kinard was, but better jfiflgment prevailed and nothing was done. A thorough but vain search was made all over the immediate country, after which the crowd quietiy dispersed to their homes. It was learned later that nothing further has been heard of Kinard, and that the prospect for a lynching was not good for the im mediate future. The brother of the young lady says he will kill Kinard if he ever lays eyes on him, and as he is a verv determined man, it is probable that a lynching would be prevented even if Kinard made his appearance in the vicinity, a circum stance that is not at all likely to oc cur. ? Columbia Register. Republican Senators Break t aith. Washington-, March 1. ? After three ineffectual attempts to get an executive session the Republicans were successful tx>day^ttr& -understanding being that nothing of a disputed char acter should be considered. An effort to reconsider the vo'e by which the nomination of John V. L. Findley, of Maryland, to be Chilian arbitrator was rejected, was made but failed. : The tacit agreement regarding the , disputed nominations did not prevent preliminary steps being taken on Ben ton Hanchett's nomination. As soon as the executive session began the nomination was referred to the judi ciary committee and before it ended the committee held a meeting on the tfoor and reported it favorably by a strict party vote. \ K* Grows Shorter and hi* Defalcation Longer.

Special: j Perhaps never before has* the national | capital, on the eve of the advent of a ,new administration, ha^L so many South Carolinians, office tieekers prin cipally, within its gaits, and they seem to spring up from everywhere, and every train brings more and more. The all-absorbing matter which brings our politicises together is the distribution of Fee oral patron age. No further attempt at a con ference has been made, ard none wilh he. It is a war to the knife. Irby, acting for the Administration, I will claim five-sevenths of the offices. I He and his side . will riiake efrantic:J efforts to exclude all other South I Carolinians. A knowing politician tells me as soon as this isl commenced I President Cleveland mil . quietly J ignore the applications of both Bides and call in a third non-pirtis&n party J to recommend them. j i There is every indication that the I Alliancemen of South Carolina do j not expect anything. One 'of the I leading Alliancemen of the State, who is here looking to tiling*, . said this j morning, in talking of tlae result of I the conference: "I think 'some people I have about come to tbn conclusion I that Grover won't recognize them at all. The Donaldson wing of the Ad- j ministration, which mefiiis the Alii- J ance, was not in favor of this confer- 1 ence." . ' [ : ? ? j Governor Tillman declines to have I anything to say on the subject. Gen Wade Hampton tirrived here] this morning. He is quEirtered at the Metropolitan. When asked about j the conference, he said: "That is all I wrong. The delegation has nothing! to do with the distribution of the offices over which the President has J control; it is merely a Presidential j matter. They are made by and with the -consent of the Senate, and the Senate is alone responsible for the selection. When I was here, just such a caucus was suggested, and I refused to go into it. The postoffices are a different thing." When asked about hiu having ac- 1 cepted the position of Register of the Treasury, Gen Hampton said: "I really don't know anything about it. Certainly nobody was s.uthorized to speak for me." I was talking to day to a leading South Carolinian, who has been in national politics as long, perhaps, as any one in the country. He said: "My opinion is that Brawley is going to control the State patronage more than anybody else. I do not think that the Tillmanftes can do anything at all." This gentlerran is not a Conservative. . _ The candidates are still piling in. Julius H. Hey ward, of Greenville, is searching for a consulship; Cal Caugh man is getting pledges from Senators to vote for hi in foi reading clerk of the Senate; C. L. Williamson, of Sum ter, wants the collectors!: ip of the In ternal revenue; Col T. Sx>bo Farrow, wants a consulate; and John Bradley, of Abbeville, wants to be a postoffice inspector or something of that sort. All these, in addition to Dr Pope, Col McMaster, Ben Perry and a list of others, are at work around the Capi tol, while bedroom conferences are frequent at Senator Irby's head quarters. Among other Carolinians here are R. R. Hemphill, J. C. Hemphill, Al tamont Moses, F. Levi, H. D. Barnett, J. J. Watson, Capt Stead man, of Or angeburg, and others. Henry A.

"Uncle George" Tillman with to morrow, bids farewell to public life in Washington, for a while. I saw the veteran Congressman to-day. He says he has been a close observer of na tion politics for forty years. "I never saw," said he, so many unknown fac tors likely to influence the politics of the land in the aear future as right now. There's so much uncertainty about them and about what policy Cleveland and his cabinet will inau gurate, that it makes it difficult to say what is ahead. The whole coun try is in a state of terrible unrest. It is the same in South Carolina, the. un known quantities being the railroad ! war, the prohibition question, etc ^)ne thing is certain: there are going to be many new departures. I may not take a hand in the future of politics in my State or nationallv. but I can not tell yet." Governor Tillman spent most of to day at the Capitol, watching the final scenes in Congress on the floors of the two houses. He say* he is enjoying his visit very much. South Carolina's big-lipped new ne gro Congressman, George W. Murray, arrived here to-day, to be sworn in to morrow. E. H. Deas i has bim in charge, and to-day he took him around i the ^various apartments and intro i duced him to "the powers that be.'' | Deas says he is here to take the dose of defeat as neatly a?i possible: State Treasurer Bates, Governor .

How It Sheold be Distributed in South Carolina. What reason does the esteemed State newspaper suggest to be offered Mr Cleveland for ruling all the Till man people of this State from holding? Federal offices? Let us look at it practically and sensibly. We "cannot say they are not Demo crats. We cannot prove it Cleve land is srtjusiness man and will not accept, any surmises or suspicions or prejudices any of us may have as guides for his action in important Batters. We cannot say all Tilimanitea are iThird party men at heart We can't prove that either. It isu't true. All Third party men are Tillmanites, but that is a different matter. \ We can not go to Cleveland and tall him Tillman has offended and dis rated us and mismanaged State affairs and played the tyrant, and that therefore all his followers must be shared out There is no sense in try ing to enlist Grover Cleveland as a Sheppard and Orr recruit now. He might very properly and probably would reply that he has nothing to do with the management of State affairs, that that is a matter for the people of ?the State to deal with, that he must take things as he finds them; that both factions were loyal to him at the gen eral election and he can not discrimi nate against either. A practical) business-like proposi tion would be that taking the Third party men, secret and avowed, from the Tillman ranks, the loyal, straight Democrats are divided into two por tions of equal strength. It is impor tant that these factions be united and held together against any future at tack of the Third party on one side or the Republicans on the other. To do that there should be a fair divide ot Federal offices with a clear understand ing that no man is to be discriminated against io State offices because he op posed Tillman and was for Cleveland. Every man tainted with Third party ism should be rigidly barred out. That would briDg two or three of our Congressmen to their milk, and make them decide forthwith and finally where they are at ?make them choose between clear, uncompromising alle giance to the Democratic party or be ing ignored by a Democratic admin istration. It would be a painful strug* gle with agonizing throes, but it would be for the health of their political souls, conceding the rather violent supposition that they have such things concealed about their persons. The Tillman convention ' in May adopted a Third party platform and denounced Cleveland. That is true enough. Nevertheless, it did not go to the Third party. Cleveland will judge men by what they did in No vember. It is not to his interest or to the interest ot the party to punish or drive away erring brothers who re pented in time. The men who did not vote for Cleveland, who refused to pledge themselves to go into the Dem ocratic caucus, who talked Third par ty during the campaign and sympa thized with Tom Watson are the men to punish. If we are going into his tory to test fealty to the Democratic organization we will have to rule out some mighty good people who follow ed Judge Haskell in 1890. Hate and vengeance are agreeable luxuries. We do not deny having our share of the one and lust for the other. Yet would the State newspaper, if it could, pun ish half the people of South Carolina because they have put their confidence in men who are, as we think, worthy of nothing but contempt? Our purpose and hope is to restore peace to our State, to get our people together, to make our race and party solid and safe and to give South Caro lina progress and prosperity. To do that the people must get together, and for that end all good men should la bor.? Greenville News. HER INTEREST IN A HUSBAND COSTS $3,500. Major UaRood, the Bigwntfit, Apparently Jump* His Bond.

PRESIDENT-ELECT .CLEVELAND AR RIVES IN WASHINGTON. \ _ Saturday He ' Enters Upon His Secoud Term u Chief Magistrate of the N? tl Oil? Interchange of Official Courtesies To- Day. Washington, 4 March 2. ? The special train bearing President-elect [ Cleveland and party arrived at the Baltimore and Ohio station in this city at half-past 6 o'clock this even ing. An immeuse throng of people surrounded the station aud filled the streets on either side of it, all eager to get a glimpee of the best President. The crowd began to collect as early as 5 o'clock, and constantly increased until the arrival of the distinguished party. It was rumored that Cleveland had gotten off at -the New Ydxk avenue crossing, where he deceived the viga lant newspaper reporters on his honey moon trip to Dear Park. This inti mation, however, did not have the de sired effect of dispersing the crdwd, and finally they were rewarded by see ing the President-elect alight from the car and take the arm of Co^James Bernet, chairman ol the inaugural committee. A mighty shout went up when Mr Cleveland's presence was known. With great difficulty a pas sageway was cleared, and Mr Cleve- ; land, bowing in acknowledgements, ; made his way to a carriage and was : at once rapidly driven to the Arling ton Hotel. Assistant Chairman Nor ris of the inaugural committee escort ed Mrs Cleveland, and behind them was Mr Cleveland '8 infant daughter in the arms of her nurse. The party arrived at the Arlington about ten' minutes before 7 o'clock. In order to avoid the crowds that throng Pennsylvania avenue an un usual route was taken to the hotel. After leaving the station the little procession of carriages passed up New Jersey avenue to Massachusetts ave nue, and thence up K and Fifteenth streets to Vermont avenue. A small crowd of people had gath ered in front of the hotel to sep, the distinguished party arrive. Perfect order was maintained, and there was no demonstration of any kind. Mrs Cleveland was the first to alight, and she was followed- by the President elect Mrs Cleveland's maid and the nurse with little Ruth. Mr and Mrs Daniel Lamont, Mr and Mrs Don M. Dickinson, Mr and Mrs Richard Wat son Gilder, Mr and Mrs John D. Bry ant, E. C. Benedict and family, Mrs S. M. Williams and daughter, aud Robert O'Brien, Mr Clevelad's per sonal secretary, occupied the remain ing five carriages. The members of the party were immediately shown to their apartments. Col Lamont, describing the journey of the Presidential party from Lake wood to Wathington, said the trip was without special interest, excepting at a small station near Philadelphia, where the President-elect did some hand-shaking. At nearly every sta tion passed by the Presidential train there were many persons assembled, who were more or less demonstrative. In one or two instances a band of music enlivened the scenes. Bunting and other decorations were very gen erally displayed at stations along the route. Very little fatigue was caused the.members of the party by the day's travel. The members of the Presidential ]>arty, after arriving at the Arlington, were promptljMocated in their spa- 1 cious apartments in the Vermont ave nue and I street wing of the hotel. About 8 o'clock dinner was served in the private dining room; the meal oc cupied more than two hours. Mean while, friends of the President and j Mrs Cleveland and those who accom- ! panied them, having learned of their safe arrival in the city, began to gath- j er in the lobbies of the hotel and sent < up their cards. These were supple- j mental by a large number of mem- j bers of the various political organiza- } tions in the city, which made the sceDe resemble those incident to na- j tional conventions. The 1 ammany ites attended in new silk hats, and were ' out in force. The Presidential party received few callers, however, and these were confined to personal friends. One of the first to arrive was Vice- President elect Stevenson, who remained but a short time, and left the hotel with the expectation of calling again later in the evening. The meeting between the two Democratic leaders was cor dial and hearty in the extreme.,, ben- j ator and Mrs Vilas were among the first of those who saw President and Mrs Cleveland and Col and Mrs Laraont. Col John B. Wilson and Mr and Mrs j Russell Harrison also called. I It is in accordance with official eti quette for the President-elegJUto call on the retiring President \soon after the former's arrival in the<city. The retiring President then returns the call. After dinner this evening the hour was too late for Mr Cleveland to call on his predecessor, and he defer red that duty until to morrow morn- ' ing. Then, at 10.30 o'clock he will j ! formally visit the White House and j ! meet the President. Within an hour j after Mr Cleveland's call President j Harrison will repair to the Arlington ? j Hotel and formally return the call of ! the President-elect. 1 This formal exchange of courtesies in the day will be followed in the evening by a more informal affair, | viz; a dinner at the White House in j honor of the President-elect acd Mrs I Cleveland by the President and Mrs | McKee, his daughter. There may be 1 a few outside guests invited, but the dinner will be *in the nature of a ? j family aliair. The Departure from Lakewood. Lak'kwood, N. J., March 2. ? All Lake wood turned out to wee President elect Grover Cleveland and party ofi for Washington. The day was bright with sunshine, and the big crowd thit came down to the station to wave * farewell to the family which had been 1 among them two seasons, was gay with bright raiment Fully 2,000 people | were at the station. Half the number were ladies; and they were more intep 1 ested in seeing Mrs Cleveland and Baby Ruth than the President elect It was just 11.45 a. m. when the special train arrived from New York. Mr and Mrs Cleveland, Baby Ruth and nurse started from the ''Little White House" at 12 o'clock. They rode to the depot in the omnibus of the Lake Hotel. *? Mrs Cleveland wore a dark blue wool dress, with a tight Btting astra- $ kau jackot and black felt hat It was with difficulty that the party alighted, so close did the Crowd press. The crowd on the station platform parted slightly and Mrs Cleveland led the way to the train. The others tal lowed, with Mr Cleveland last He was cheered from the moment he alighted from the carriage until he was ou tfce train. Every one in the front ranks of the crowd shook hauds with him as he slowly made his way across the plat form. When he mounted the steps of the car there were more cheers, andl shouts for a speech. Cleveland stood 7 for a moment with ibis hat in his hand, bowing to the crowd, and then 1 i entered "Oriental," a to which others had preceded nim. f/ The train moved ouj; of the station on- its way to Washington at 12.13 p. m. A parting cheer went up fircim the crowd. A score of camera fiends pressed the button and theNtrip was begun. \ * ' \ Tammany'* Inaugural Contingent, New York, March 2.^-Eight special trains left Jersey City this morning, having on board the mem bers of Tammany Hall - bound for Washingtom to attend the second inauguration of Grover Cleveland jas President. Four of these trains were over the Baltimore, acd Ohio route and a like number by the Pennsyl vania. In addition to the Taimany Hall members, there were a 'number of independent Democratic clubs on the trains, the total number ; of excursionists being estimated at 4,400.

Courts, clerk of the House committee on appropriations, has submitted to the committee a statement of the appropriations, bx elusive of miscellaneous matters, made by the House this session. ; It shows an aggregate of $513,733,085, and this amount has been increased to $519,273,449 by changes made in bills oy the Senate. The following is a statement of the appropriations con- ? tamed in the bills, according to their present status: - ' As agreed upon in both houses: Army, $24,225,639; fortification, 82, ?io oto Dlstrict of Columbia, $5, 41.5,223, (conference report agreed to but not yet adopted.) As passed by theSenate: Diplomatic and consular, 81,570,045; military f,cademy, $?43 556 ;sundry civil, $43,933,475. f As reported to Senate: legislative, $21, 908,328; navy, $22,082,131; pension, $166,561,350 (the ls.tter passed the Senate to-day.) As passed bj ' tter House: Agricultural, $3,294,300; In dian, $7,088,615; postoffice, $83,904, 314: general deficiency, $21,209,638. A comparison betweerf appropria tions and estimates for the past five ^ ears shows that, contrary to what has been the generally accepted opinion, the appropriations have exceeded the estimates, averaging $250,000 more per annum.

By an amendment to the sundry civil bill, it is provided that in the future river and harbor, work must be rejrularlv estimated for. " We Don't Think So.
