address before llie i.auioiiHigh
School and if everybody would
observe his advice he would
better man, a bettei neighbor, a b. t
ter citizen. Considerable stir was
made in the community when it wasj
learned that the Judge had been invited,
but we have failed to discover j
in his address as published in the
State any treasonable utterances, ami
had some of the Judge's traducers
aud vilitiers been swayed in their
conduct by the principles enunciated
and taught by Col. Haskell on that,
occasion they would command more
respect and deference than they do
at present. We reproduce a portion
of his address and ask its careful
reading and consideration with the
request to examine specially for any
political heresy:
"Good government is with us entirely
dependent on the courage, the
intelligence aud the virtue of the
people. The broader the intelligence,
the more exalted the virtue,
the less we will be afflicted by ex
ceBsive government?which is the
depredation of individual freedom?
aud the more certain wo will be of
equul justice to all with safety of
]>erson aud of property, and the less
trammeled will each man bo in the
conduct of his individual affairs.
"If all men were nerfect covern
X o
nieut would be unnecessary. .Inst
in proportion as government increases
are the people depraved, or deprived
of their rights. And there
is not much difference in the two
alternatives; for the people cannot
be robbed of their rights, either by
despots or by factions, unless they
have become unworthy of self-government
by lack of virtue, courage
or intelligence; for possessed of intelligence,
they know their lights;
and, having courage, will maintain
them. The first duty of every citizen
is obedience to law, for it is well
said that no law can he so bad as
disregard of the law.
"The next duty is to correct the
evil by repealing the law. That is
done at the ballot box by the removal
of the representatives who
have enacted it, and by putting in
their places men who represent your
will.
"The ballot is the sacred right of!
every cit'zen, and the purity, t.lu :
honesty of the ballot is the oni\
safeguard of liberty. The corrup
tion of the ballot i.-> the robbery >>!
private rights and the destruction ol ;
liberty. Strange doctrines creep in
v. to republics from time to time, bit; ;
when detected and their errors shown
they have generally been corrected
by the people. One is that the majority
is supreme. It is true to the
extent that 1 have already stated?
a majority enacts the law and the
law is supreme. Every wrong that
in luipuifeu on me people must be in
the shape of law, and must be the
act of the majority. Thus whenever
wrong is done it is by the majority.
Therefore, that majority must be reversed.
You must remember that
what is sometimes called loyalty to
the majority is sheer slavery and
that the safeguard of liberty is t he i
minority?ana that it it by the con
tant reversing of the majorities that
tha people protest their rights. Factious
nowadays are led by professional
politicians and the danger
to liberty arises from the partisan
organizations to which our people
are baing educated. That has always
been the danger of republics?

numbers and wealth and greed for
the spoils of office. It is agaiind

"It is easier to be brave in war than j
in peace, but it is not more honor-1

no more a coward when he avoids a
conIIicl in arms to saw liis life than
ho is when he sacrifices political
duty to protect or save his social or
pecuitiary interests. Morally the
latter is a graver dereliction from
duty than the former.
"Personally it is easier to be brave
and harder to be a coward 011 the
battle field than at the ballot box.

sustained by physical excitement and
shamed by disgrace in the presence
of your comrades. Besides, the issus

"My young friends, courage is a
much abused word, and if misunderstood,
often leads young men astray.
In the armv it was almost an axiom
that a bully?a man who brutally
violates the sanctity of peace in civil
life?is a coward.
"True courage is not animal ferocity
combined with disregard of duty.

Some people may have been simple
enough to believe that Tillman
was honest in his criticism of members
of the Legislature and other
members of the State Government
for accepting free passes from railroads,
but a man acquainted with;
the weaknesses and frniltio* of hitman
nature could hardly yield ore-,
donee to such electioneering dodges.

do it without the suspicion of being
"bamboozled and debauched ' thereby.
Nobody ever suspected the rail* !
roads of trying to bribe legislators
by free passes and when he accepted
he did so with a full knowledge of
what he thought of the man who
would accept.
The News and Courier quotes a
portion of the Coventor's letter and
pertinently comments:
My first impulse was to return it,
because in the past 1 have criticised
members of I he Legislature for accepting
free passes, and I do not
care to be placed in a false position.
Ilut after thinking over the matter
I have decided to accept it in the
spirit in which, 1 am sure, you offered
it. because you know me too well
to suppose for an instant 1 could be
influenced by so small a thing. I do
tin want to appear churlish or pica
niii K in mistaking a courtesy for a
bribe. I will, therefore, keep it and
use i! us occasion offers.
"It makes a great deal of difference
whose o\ is gored, circumstances alter
cases, and he must bo a very stubborn
man indeed who will not change
his mind. It would have been more
consistent with his campaign utterances
had Governor Tillman returned
the pass to Col Melleo; hut now j
that he has accepted it, and it is "not
"transferable," we hope that he will
use it as occasion offers, and when
there is no Occasion that lie will make
one. The ]>eople of the State, we,
arc sure, will appreciate this kind of,
an object lesson. Governor Tillman :
litis placed himself in a false position
and he has himself to blame for i'
Of course no one will "suppose for
"an instant that ho could he iullu"oiiccd
by so small a thing;" hut '.he
fact is he has been influenced by it
to the extent of doing what he severely
criticised the members of the
Legislature for having done In for*'
him. If it was an offence for the
members'of the legislature, who had
no scruples against accepting free!
passes, it is tenfold more <>f an of- i
fence for Governor Tillman, who
had conscientious scruples against, i
being bamboozled and debauched, to
accept a free pass. We venture to
say that Col. AIcllcc would have regarded
Governor Tillman as neither
churlish nor picaynnisn had he returned
the pass, but that, lie would
have esteemed him all the more
highly for having refused a courtesy,
I he like of which, when accepted
by other men equally hottest
and above being influenced by so
small a thing, Governor Tillman
formerly looked upon in the nature
of a bribe."

A Theatre for the Insane?A new
Play Ground?Struck Deaf and
Dumb.
New York, dune 22, 1891.
i no iDCiit.ro of tlie JSlaokwoll's
Island Insane Asylum is proving
quite a success. Some time ago the
city put up a $10,000 structure in
which performances are given by the
inmates of the asylum, some of
w horn have considerable talent. 4il
am always sure of getting a house
full,"' says Superintendent Dent,
' and 1 have no dillieuliy in getting
patients who prove acceptable as actors.
The plays selected are all
light comedies. Wo want to make
our patients laugh and our theatre
is proving a great success in this respect.".
Twice a week performances
are given, to which alt the patients
lood forward with great interest. It
is surprising how readily and quickly
these alllicted ones learn their
parts. They give a performance
that would compare favorably with
many professional exhibitions given
in a regular theatre. The city's
liberality in providing .jnch a play
house should he heartily commended.

A diminutive playground has boon
established in one of the crowded
portions of tlio city, which will no
doubt be of great benefit to the little
people who live in those quarters.
The play ground or "scupping
school," as it is called, is the work
of ? few young women of the neighborhood,
who arc trying to accomplish
as niiic.li good as their limited
opportunities will permit. Their
back yard, 40 x 50 feet, is said to bo
tbc largest piece of unoccupied
ground in the Tenth Ward. Jt is
covered with sand and fitted up with
"scups" or swings, which the children
arc allowed to enjoy, each in <
turn one hour. There is such eager i
.
ness among these little ones foral
place to ploy that every Saturday
they sit for two or three hours on }
the front stoop awaiting their turn.
This is the only play ground in that
great neighborhood, and the suggestion
is made that the city should
extend the idea, and, if necessary
tear down a whole block of houses ,
in order to furnish children a suit- I
able iday ground.

(luring the la; 1 fow days, and among
tin1 politicians of both parties it has I
been the fruitful source of misstate-1
incuts not to give the hundred and j
one stories that have been told 011 :
both sides a worse name. The democrats
havo declared that the much
prophesied deficit was an actual fact,:
while the republicans have been just
as enmhatical in stating that the
Troastwy had plenty of available j
cash on hand. Neither of them have
stated t he facts just as they existed, I
without exaggeration, because they
were, on both sides, trying to make
political capital out of what, should !
really have nothing to do with par-1
tisan po'itics.
However, it is hardly fair to sadtil.;
tlu; hlame upon the politicians,
when much of it is chargeable to t he
style in which the Treasury statements
are made up. For two days
this statement made it appear that
the U. S. Treasury had given checks
for nearly a million dollars more
than the amount, of available cash in
the Treasury?hence the democratic
stories, of the Treasury deficit?when
as a matter of fact the Treasurer had
$20,000,000, on deposit with national
banks, which was certainly just,
as much available cash as is a private
individuals bank dennsifx. hnswlne
there was in the Treasury more than $20,000,000
in fractional silver? 1
hence the republican cry of plenty
of money.
There is no deficit, and there is
not plenty of money; the real situation
is midway between those statements,
but as all t he big payments 1
that will h e d n e three 1
months have now been paid it is fair
to infer that the Treasury surplus
will increase very rapidly during the ;
next ninety days. Among the (pies- j
lions to he considered at the Cabinet, j
meeting which Mr. Harrison called;
before going to Cape May I'oint with
Mrs. Harrison and the children, fori
next Friday, it is understood, will I

can take advantage of it for political
purposes. Kvory patriotic citizen,
no matter what his political
prejudices are, should he in favor of
divorcing out financial system from
partisan politics.

the amount of its losses by reason of
not being allowed to take the stipulated
number of seals during the season
of 1800, when it only took 20, |
000, while its contract allowed it to
take 60,000. For that it claims 400,
000 dollars. This season when it is
to be only allowed to take 7,500 it
will probably claim a larger amount,
It is believed that the administration
is favorably inclined to paying this .1
company back the money that it had !
actually paid out?Mr. Blaine i* 1
credited with having said as muchhut
it is hardly probable that it will
even entertain the idea of paying
the enormous sum asked for which
doubtless includes anticipated profits
had the full number of seals been
taken.
The national Democrat which has
been in financial straits for some
time, has suspended publication. It
is thought that a very largo amount
of money has been sunk by its pub-1
Ushers. It has been regarded as a
Cleveland organ.
A gentleman high in the councils
of the democratic party said to mo
to-day that Mr. Cleveland was hacking
itepresentativo McMillin of Tennessee
in his light for the Speakerslnp
of the House, lie was of the
opinion that .Mr. Cleveland's help
would not provo very beneficial, be
cause, while he had a vc?*y large following
it was entirely personal and
not of a nature to he transferred.
Ohio politics is exciting the greatest
interest here just now, and in
several respects it is certainly puzzling.
For instance the democrats
seemed disposed to concede McKinley's
election as governor and to
concentrate their efforts upon elect- i
ing a majority of the legislat ure, at
least that's the way they talk. The
republicans are in much doubt as to
t he actual relations between Senator
Sherman and ex (Jovcrnor Foraker.
j
and are very chary of expressing
opinions on the merits of either man.
Secretary Foster who is to return in

National Treasury*
w?^... \i.......
......WWW... :
Washington, June 18.?The Treas-11
urer's statement, issued to day shows ' j
that the cash balance is $11,110,000,!.
of which $22,029,000 is on deposit ,
with national banks, and #20,250,000
is in fractional silver. Deduct- I
ing these items, the net cash balance 1
is but $1,235,000 which is the lowest
figures ever yet reached. (
It is said that the Treasurer's i
statement, to be issued to-morrow, '
will show a deficiency of $000,000
instead of the usual net cash balance.
This is the first time this has
occurred since the present form of
statement was adopted by Treasurer
Jordan. In making this calculation,
however, no account is taken of the
$22,000,000 on deposit in National
banks and the #20,000,000 fractional
silver in the Treasury.
Expenditures so far this month
hare been $8,188,801 in excess of
the entire revenues of the Government
during the same period, amounting
to $18,221,852.
The receipts were exceeded by the
pension payments alone, which
amounted to #18,312,155. Treasury
officials say that the expenditures
tim ing the remainder of the month j
will be light and that receipts will j
he sutliciently heavy to overcome the j
present excess of expenditures and J
leave a small surplus for the month, j
These same officials say that the
Treasurer's statement tomorrow!
will not include receipts during tlic |
past two days, and that if it did an j
actual surplus ot $2,000,000 would
he shown instead of an apparent deficiency.
A meeting of the Cabinet will he
hold on the 20th inst. for the purpose
of considering the financial situation,
especially with reference to
the extension of the 41 per cent,
loan and continued coinage of silver
after the 1st prox. The 1'rcsidQnt
and Secretary Foster have arranged
to he in Washington next Thursday.
Secretary Foster, in his speech
written for delivery at the Ohio Republican
State convention, paid particular
attention to the silver question
and made a special point in regard
to coinage, calling attention to
the fact that after July 1st next it
will he discretionary with the Secretary
of the Treasury whether silver
ooinago shall be continued or not.
A great many suggestions have
been offered to the Secretary on this
particular feature, indicating a

People in Charleston who have
risked their good money in cotton
futures on the wrong side are just at
this time somewhat in fear and trembling.
Not that there is any special
panic in the market, but that the
prospect of the coming crop is so
good as to bring the quotations down
very considerably. On last Wednesday
August futures in particular ft
performed some most remarkable
gymnastic feats, the main feature
being a grand tumble of sixteen
points in the course of the day. The
market has revived somewhat, however,
although, as will be seen by
reference to the otllcial market re
ports, it has by no means gone up to
the point from which the drop was ^
made. N
For some time past the price of
cotton has been very low, and those
good farmers who have been holding
their stock in hopes that a rise
would occur have every prospect of
Miming themselves somewhat out of
pocket, as there is but little cha.ice
i>f the market going up to the mark
[(noted some months ago, at least
such appears to be the general opinion.
/
There is now a great deal of cot- 1
ton held in all parts of the country,
and (Charleston has more stock on
hand than, has been here at this
Lime of the year in many seasons.
There are now over 7,(100 bales oil
hand in (his e tv, and there will he
no very rapid decrease, as 110 more
Liotton steamer, will ne here until
September, wlr n th s.-a on of 1801

If ir is true that .Jii 'go Wallace is
Lo lie elected chief jii; ice of the supreme
court, and the Judge Hudson
is to he associate justice, and that
Atlorney-CJeiieral I 1 e h to take
Hudson's place, wh I ; ? to become
jf Senator Meelze of Lexington?
We do not believe thiif he will
lamely submit to tic earr\iugout
>f this program. 1 >tit perhaps lie is
o oppose Brawley for ('ougress next
fear.
There will then still be Judge
Wallace's circuit judgeship to dis)ose
of, and we have it on excellent
uithority that Col. K. <!. Watts, of
Laurens, will not decline it, if it is
>ffcrod to liini. lie may even ho inluccd
to work for the place. That
vill, of course, loavo tho way clear .
