There hate been asNertions and expec tations without number that converts would come trooping by thousands and tens of thousands.. It was claimed that it« leaven had brought about the won derful political revolution of laa£ No vember, but the results of local eieo^ tions held only a few week ago, North, East and Wist, show that party strength and alignments remain as before, and that the voters of the nation took ad vantage of the last as an “off year” to manifest their discontent with the ex isting orders of things. Only that and nothing more. There can be nb walk over for the Democracy next year. Whatever else may bo said of the Re publican party no one knowing its his tory can deny that it is a game fighter. Since Mr. Harrison took the oath of of fice it has been busy in looking after its fences. It has admitted new States into the starry slateriiood la violation of the constitution in order to strengthen its waning hold. It has reversed elections to give itself completer mastery of < ou- gress. It has emptied the treasury to pay its hired servants and hangers-on, a vast army of hungry voters. We have no quarrel with the principle of tariff reform. It is ail right, but it is not everything or enough. In the earnest struggle before our people there is need for a broader platfcrm on which to mus ter tbs unterrifled and united Democ racy than that so far built to bear its fortunes, and for a declaration of prin ciples and purposes in fuller sympathy with the spine of the times and the de mands of the future that may draw to us the strong help of brave and willing allies * . - . Next week we will say more in the same direction. The Texas Kai roa<la have adopted movable partitions that can be quickly fitted to any car a« the best means of complying with the new law requiring separate accooimoda- ng racesT Tmu tl CaroMna ought to adopt movable Leg islatures until tshe gets that long felt want tilled. ' In this time of new enterprises some live person can combine protit and phi lanthropy by starting a solvent compa ny to insure the lives and limbs of peaceful citizens against the -tray and direct pistol balls that are circulating so extensively in this Stare. Ckrtliai tad the Country. If Democratic opinion It at firmly tod broadly fixed and settled at It i* ploturtd to bo In the party newspapers then the nomination bf Hr. Cleveland for the Presidency next year Is almost a foregone conclusion. If that is the present situation and If it is not changed by some unexpected political earth- •quake be will be the next Democratic candidate beyond peradventure, and the next national convention will be a mere formal affair that will plice him and an associate of his own choosing In She field on a platform of his own Ideas. Men are prone to hero worship. The savage exalts to chieftainship the hun ter ^nost successful in the chase^ the warrior most terrible in conflict with the tribal enemies. Civilized men beep their highest honors on those who by eminence in arts and arms climb near est to the top of the ladder of human endeavor. A nd “nothing succeeds like success.” It is not strange that Mr. Cleveland has held and continues to keep so high a place in the confidence and affection of the Democracy. By an unbroken succession of successes he ruse from obscure rank to the highest honor within the gift of the people. When be swept the Empire State of the Union from the Republican ranks into the Democratic column with the mag nificent majority of two hundred tbdu- «and votes the whole nation was thrilled by tbe rastness of the victory and he be came at once the foremost American Democrat. And as President, the first of his par ty to occupy that august office since the war cloud broke in storm upon the country, he gave to the people, particu larly of the aolong harried South s time of rest and peace In which life was sweet w Ithmit an apprehension of new torture, hope flowered again and we felt at home once more in the houne of our fathers, with all the da*k and weary troubles of our conquest fading In the i lhtni ll> fl l rnt »b light of a new'TTberty. ifis admlnU- UbifTRif ih# l rave ITT tratlon, as honest as tbe aunshine, his bold forceful courage of character com mended him to the warm Southern heart, always full ready to give honor and love when they are deserved. Ills natural, therefore, that as the nearing approach of another campaign stirs the country the great heart of the people should turn lovingly and trustingly to him as the leader to head another su preme charge upon the entrenched ene my. To the Democracy, especially of the South, who have Inherited the knightly spirit of the chivalry of the olden time, It would seem at first to be rankeet ingratitude to set him aside now and to put the flag of tbe advance In other haiids. Yet there Is soother side to the ques tion that should be studlei in the spirit In which the wise king counts the cost before beginning a war. Will Mr. Cleveland stand a belter chance for election than any other can didate that the Democracy can put for ward? The ex-President has many followers so positive in their sdmirstion of the man and his methods of thought, ex pression and action that they have no patience with any criticism that Is not all praise and applause, and who are quick to judge as treason to tbe party any discussion of the situstion not In harmony with their own passionate par tisan opinions. Yet the elections of 1091 involve consequences more serious to tbe South than any that have been held since the foundation of the gov ernment and the life of the party and the liberties of the people rise immense ly higher than the obiigatious and emo- tlonsof sentimental politics. Mr. Cleve land’s administration and later frequent utterances go to show that he is a spe cialist in politics and if beshaii be nom inated tariff reform will be the key note of his campaign. He staked his own future and the fortunes of his parly upon that issue in 88 and with tho cour age of his convictions he is ready to try conclusions again on that one idea. Perhaps the personal desire to vindicate his own judgment in the laid campaign- to prove that he was right then and is right still, ha* dwarfed in his estimation tho value and influence of other ques tions engaging the public mind. It is very true that plutocracy is the ultimate danger of Republican forms of govern ment aud Mr. Clevelands policy of curb ing the insolence of the money power is honorable to his Northern and East ern citizenship, but in subordinating •very other consideration to the nurs ing of his own economic ideas he seems to be, in the language of the day, /'be hind the times.” The next Republican campaign, judg ing from the proceedings of tbe Na tional League which met in conference last week to shape the party policy, will be fought oo different lines. They hold that the people gave their judgment ou the tariff issue at the polls in io88 .and that in pissing the McKinley Bill they have made good their pledges and set tled the problem of protection until the condition of the country at some remote future time may require further revis ion. They will seek to tire the popular heart of the East, North and West with the Force Bill and make that-their trump card in the desperate game. As t Democrat Mr. Cleveland is of course opposed to that mooatrous outrage on the few surviving rights of the States, but will bis devotkm to the first love of tariff reform allow him to combat that infamous wrong by every means aud aftoey thatssay beemployod?

Green. J. J. Green, L. A. Drummond, Committee, Barnwell, S. C., April 27, 1891. Editor I'eopU : It waa the writer’s good fortune to be present on Friday last at a meeting of the vaiiQiifl Alliances adjacent to the town of Baniberg to receive their ware- hoiim; (the largest in tbe county) from tbe building committee. It was a grand audan enjoyable day. Numtiers were present, among them by invitation were Dr. J. William Stokes, the State Presi dent, and Col. W r . J Talbert, the State Lecturer, both of whom made fitting and enjot aide speeches for the occasion. Would that every Alliance man in the county could have been there. From what wa« seen and heard w hile there I can hut feel that the Alliance Is not dead thereabouts. The |>eopie in that vicin ity certainly deserve oredit fur wfiat! they have done. A large, two story brick building to receive their produce about completed and no body hurt by the building thereof They are now in sha|>e to bring about the wonderful re sults that arc hoped for and must come from tlie intended workings of the Or der. Ailiancemen elsewhere take cour age and be enthused by knowing what Bamberg has done and will do and re solve to do likewise. i will take ibis occasion to say-to the Order to take courage and be up and do ing, and resolve to have those who have predicted and are constantly predicting the failure of the Alliance to ever feel and know that they are, aud how badly they have been, mistaken. G. H. Kirkland, Lecturer Barnwell County. - Alliance Addresses. Addresses were delivered on Friday by State President Stokes ami State Lecturer Talbert in the new Alliance warehouse at Bamberg. The audience was composed of about 350 members of the order, a number of ladies and sev eral merchants. W e quote a part of'the report of the Columbia Register: Dr. Stokes said “they don’t think now that foois and farmers are synonymous. There are hundreds of thinking men out of the Alliance who look to the Al liance with positive hope. The Alli ance has engendered a social sympathy. Brain is a common commodity. The thinking brains will win. The force bill was defeated at Ocala, Florida. The farmers of Kansas de nounced it because w« detect beneath the surface of that bill an intention to iufiict an injury on the South. There the North and South shook bands and swore by the eternal principles of char ity aud fraternity that the daysofdem- agogues were numbered I prophesy that the next Congress will adjust the tariff upon an equitable basis as a concession to the demands of the Farmers’ Alliance. Your Sub-Alliances may go to pieces but thst won’t obviate the fact that you hav* got to meet the issues. You may shirk them but that boy of yours will have them to meet.” Col. Talbert spoke at greater length. He expressed his pleasured seeing la dies in the atMUtnea and the fear that tbe men of Barnwell are not extending such courtesy to them as they should, he wished to see them in every sudlease ? Do you ga to your regularly* Are you luke warm and indifferentr Do you growl whan tbe quarterly dues come round? There aie members In our Allisnces who ought to be turned pot. We want an organisation composed of true, tried and honest men. If you hire traitors or grumblers they ought to be turned edt. • • We Intend to bare a quiet, peaceful revolution at the ballot box. This revolution is not heralded by tbe rattling of drums. We are going un der a banner with that God-given motto “Peace on earth and good will to all mankind,” even to all the newspapers. We do not ask that anybody be put dow n below us, but tbe battle cry of this mighty army is nothing more or less than “equal rights to all, and special privileges to none.” * - Why are some staying out? I have heard various reasofis. Some say, “I don’t believe you are going to succeed. I will wait and see; then ifyou do right I will join.” What kind of a man will stand off while certain newspapers and moneyed kings are firing, and then come in after thfe tight is ovet We don’t want any such men Democracy is majority rule. That is the only safe rule. 1 don’t say that a man who opposed the sub-treasury bill should ntukifv himself by saying that he likes it. Butafter the Alliance passes on it, then he ought to submit If he don't submit he ought to step down and out of the Alliance because he has vio lated his obligation. The Alliance will restore trade to its legitimate channels" and bring happiness into thousands of homes. , ■.;• It has been our custom ss fool farm ers to let otheis do our thinking. Some Independent editors, who are worse than a Radical, want to talk against us. But tbe time is passed when newspa pers can scare me. You brethren should hold up my hands. I was almost left alone last summer. I am there yet on the same platform. I expect to stand there always. We want enough money in circula tion to do the business of the country. The only way to do it is to stand square ly on the Ocala platform. 1 want to re sent that infamous lie spread by some county editors that I am drawing two salaries.

When you are preparing questions think of how little you know when a pupil, not of what you knew now , after years of teaching.

Written examinations used solely as a test for promotion into a higher grade is a relic of barbarism and is a custom that should be laid upon the shelf. Huxley styles the stimulating of pupils to work at high-pressure by incessant competitive examinations “the Abomi nation of Desolation.” If teachers could take into consideration the ca pacity of the child and his fitness for promotion into a higher grade and not be hampered by the fond mama w ho thinks her child can be absent two or three days out of every week and be prepared to enter a higher grade, if the teacher had this power of discrimina tion, examinations as a test for promo tion might be abolished. Surely tbe teacher who has worked a whole year with a class ought tp know the capacity and capabilities of each member of that class whether or no he is ready for ad vancement- “ * - The object of education is to develop and draw out the faculties of the bu-' man mind, not to develop a writing ma chine.
