T»« Hilli *r the (Jiind
Mr. Benjamin HurriMon ims lienn
PreshHuit of the«c Duitod alnw
vh»* Hli of March 18S0. In tli^t short
time the country has mack a long inarch
toward Nationalixatioiu
When the Republican party returned
to power after iU four years of banish
ment during Mr. Cleveland's term it
came back permeated with the one
first purpose of so entrenching and
fortifying itself that it might safely and
■ aerenely laugh at the qiukdreuninl as
saults of the 0|>fK>site Democracy. That
one idea basaha|n>(l its course, prompted
every outrage that it has |>orfected and
encouraged aif the further transgres-
woiih ttiat it is plotting against the
rights of tW people in tiie interest of.
its own iiufiirests. To strengthon fil
own weakening roll call in the Senate of
the Union it has admitted in reckless
haste and on doubtful credentials four
new Sbvtca ou the Pacific sIojm}. And
when One of these new sister stars sc lit
Democrats to streak for and represent
her in that higher house the Republican
majority shamelessly reversed the ver
dict of the people and seated political
thieves in place of fairly chosen honest
servants of a so-called sovereign .State.
The majority in the House of Repre
sentative* has even eclipsed their iwers
In Urn august Senate in their frequent
sacrifices of right. At the crock of the
party whip every Republican has fallen
Into line as quickly as trained soldiers
do at the summons of the morning drum
Wat. That they might run rough shml
over4he minority that still held to the
faith of their fathers, all the time tried
and hoaorod rules of procedure were
•wept away and a partisan speaker us
urped powers that made him master of
the situation, and dwindled common-
weaHTfs to Ihe TnsTgh(Uranee of "pawui
the miserable time serving pica that the
end Justifies the means they have time
and again set aside the results of fair
alections, and InilaTIeiirpuppcts of their
own selection in place of fair men dele
gated from a thousand |»o|]ing places to
represent tiie best interests of thy peo
ple by whom they were entrusted with
such honor.
They* have opened every floodgate of
tbs plethoric National treasury that they
may enlist In their service every soldier
that wore the victorious blue, every
camp follower that robbed a lien roost
•r cheated a negro out of bis hard earu-
•d Rule hoard.
To make assurance doubly sure that
their souls may take their ease, with
none to- molest or make them afraid,
tlicy are new meditating a new recon~
•traction of the South, and are only de
laying its beginning in order that they
wiay moat inteualfy its meanne**. He- 1
fore the next midsummer conies, it U
now promised, legislation will be whip
ped through pulling all federal elec
tions in the control of their party, mak
ing the seared consoiences of hired re
turning boards au|>erior to that voice
of the people which has boeu counted in
all free lands as the voice of God, in its
omuipotonce.
To pay the bribes with which they
have bought such a multitude of voters
they have laid burdens hard to be borne
upon tiie shoulders of the people. The
exactions of their tariff system reach to
every humble rural home and rob each
toller in the fields of the first fruits of
bis lalmr. This tribute to our masters
uiusi lie jjpid’ before a simple dies* is
“ i tHWight fUr ttlfiTMf'b'^’ofn wlT^TRTpfr
tured primer put in baby’s dimpled
hands.
And wiser men than we, those who
, have made the service and study of pub
lic affairs their best life work, tell that
in all the bitter past there has brooded
over the martyred South no hours so
dark aslhe days before and marching on
with tireless quick step to cover her with
trouble and set retrograde her civiliza
tion. ZI
ihe corresponding months of last year.
Even the old reliable South Carolina
Ratfroad la prospering. Last week she
added a new ami elegant ‘‘buffet car” to
her equipment. Among the very first
reforms to lie effected by the next ad
ministration should be the enactment of
a law requiring these corporations to
provide separate accommodations for
ii’itVcling races. They can’t plead pov
erty any longer. We hope to have the
chance to vote for candidate* for the
Legislature who will put that plank in
their platforms ami keep ou It and mean

But we have never had a firmer faith
In the better fortunes of the future than
that w hich now' stirs our heart.
Less than a decade ago, on the Texan

branded with their own marks every in

-like the little cloud no larger than a
man’s hand that small beginning has
spread, is spreading, until all America
shall be won. Beneath and behind it
are the peace and prosperity of the peo
ple, and before it is a victory that shall
regenerate this government from the
downward slopeoftyranny along whic^
It is sinking. It may conic to the capi
tal of the Nation as suddenly and terri

broke upon the world, but it will come
and the first beams of its day dawn ore
coming out of the darkness. That, as

Several months ago ( oniptroHer-Gen-
eral Yerner found out that Mr. J. K.
Murray, the Aiken county treasurer,
was badly behind financially. IL* went
to work quietly ami wisely and managed
toget $(5,8*15.5(5 from Mr. .Murray, which
reduced his entire defalcation to $18,-
174:27, for State, School and County tax-
inircrs and his opponents will follow- ■cs.—The Comptroller’s report to Judge
Fraser, who w ill preside at the summer
term of this Circuit, was tiled on the
21st inst. The same day Gov. Richard
son removed Mr. Murray "and State
Treasurer Mclver issued a warrant for
his arrest.. The-t’omptroHer and Grand
Jury committee who»*aijiiricdthc books
say that Mr. Murray and the “county
commissioners have failed to keep their
accounts in any ’business shape, ami
were utterly ignorant of the condition
of the cofinty finances.” Mr. Murray
had held the office for years and wtfs
one of the most popular men in Aiken
county. Hi* bond is said to be good for
the amount of his shortage..

A recent opinion rendered by the Vir
ginia Court of Appeal* show* that the
law recognize* a graded valuation of
wives.
The complainant had sued for dam
ages for the loss of his w4fe, who had
been accidentally killed through the
negligence of the defendants. Gn 4b*
trial evidence tending to show that tho
deceased-had.been a superior v wife was
offered, and presumably influenced by

this good advice. And 1 especially

county Will keep their politics out of
tfimj; Alliance. Don’tumlerstaml from 4
this flrat I Would advise you to take
no part in politic*. On tiie contrary,
I hohl tbat it is every man’s duty, ns
a good citizen of the State, to interest
himself in polities, but to do it as a
citizen and not as a member of . the
Alliance.'The part the Alliance will
take in hi* politics will be, that i£ lie
ha* made good use of his privileges a*
a member, ho will lie better able to
form correct estimates of men # and
measures.
From present appearances tho com
ing campaign will be a bitter one. But
during all its heat, let us constantly
strive to maintain Jirotherly love
among ourselves. Let us be always
ready to accord to those w ho differ,
with us, the same honesty anti sincerity
of purpose and conviction that wu claim
for ourselves. If a brother or a neigh
bor differs from you and you can rea
son him Into 3’oul' way of thinking,
very good. But if you can’t convince
Kini by lair argument, rt^it assured
you will never do it by losing your
temper and using hard words. Which,
when the campaign is over, you will
that thcfc learotMi men sire all in error ?
The great philosopher, Lichten'kurg,
of (lOttinger, said in the y**ar 1874:
’•I’epplo aro atrauk.atul- tb»*ir- dweRMig*-

will have it so. It doe* not matter to
u* whether parsjniony. carelessness,
ignorance or anyiliiug else is the cause
of tliis ’ Yon Otto BitchiieTy t>4—Wei
mar, Germany, asserts ( *that this dic
tum may be equally applied to the pres
ent generation.”
Owing to ike Increased electrical
intensity of the atmojpHrre, w hich is
induced by the colitirnialN^ ulsioir of
steam and smoke, Dr. An dries esti
mates that the danger from ligtilning
is from three to five times grater liq^n
it was fifty year* ago.
From an estimate by IV. Koniranch,
it appears that if tiie energy of light
ning were stored up and distributed
for electric lighting, from seven to
thirty-five fiallies would he required to
keep one incandescent lamp aglow an
hour.
M. Jarriant, a French scientist, in his
work on electricity and how to control
it, says: 1
“I cannot too strongly advise, that, in
erecting lightning conductors those
specialists should be improved whose
studies and constant practice enabled
them to ensure perfect vvork.”
