The Charleston World's Kinetograph has been at work on that Secret Conference in Columbia June 3, and lias brought surprise among the faithful. The Conference was called by (Jov. Tillman for the purpose indicated in tho following letter: Columbia, S. C., May 18, '01. Dkaii Sih: At tills time there is no dally paper In South Carolina vhich can be sahl to bo in full sympathy with the dominant element In the state. The News and Courier Is less bitter in opposition and is coming round apparently: the Register is friendly but weak?the World is opposed, and the others are avowedly antagonistic or bitter partisans, like The State. This being the ease all tl e acts and policy of tho administration and its * friends are misrepre. anted or colored so jus to mislead the people and educate them against us. We need a daily paper to counteract this state of things, and after consultation with some of our leaders, it has been deemed wise to have a conference of some of our be it men to take the matter under consideration to ?ee what can be done and what is best to be done. This conference will meet in Columbia in the Agricultural hall, Wednesday, June .'id. at 8 p in, and you are requested to attend as representative from your county, or to send some good man in your place. I Mease signify your acceptance and consider this matter is strictly confldentlaly, Respectfully, 11. it. Til.i.man. Perhaps he needs some medium to reflect his sentiments on the people as much as any man who ever controlled the State. Rut whv this hp. cessity? There lire eight or more dallies in the State and it can hardly be alleged that they are opposed from pure perversity and "cussed11088". We have observed no opposition to Gov. Tillman's administration by any paper simply to be opposed, even the State "bitterly partisan," commends some acts of the Governor. Newspaper men arc porlmps as well informed on political and other matters as the average man and are as much concerned about the geneial prosperity of the State, and there must be a screw loose somewhere when the guild is arrayed against the administration, and we imagine the fault is not with the newspapers either, An adminis tration must be in a bad way when it has to call so lustily for an "organ" to correctly represent its acts and policy. ______ JUDGE SOBENCK AND E VA NGELIS T El EE. Fvangelist Fife has been assaulted at Greensboro, N. C., because of some ol his pulpit denunciations. Judge David Schenok is President of the Guilford Battle Grounds Association and gave a moonlight party or picnic on the ground a short time ago which was turned into a dance and lasted about all night. Mrs. Schenck was chaperone. Fife donounced it as a disgrace to the soldiers who died thero and a deee cration of sacred soil, and declared that no Irue Christian would engage in such. This a 11 g e r o d Judge Schenck and his three sons de .it * * * muuueu an apology which was re * fused. They attended Church al night and at the close of the servicet it was whispered about that Fift would be attacked but his friendi rallied to his support and escorted him and his wife to their boarding place. When they left the threi young Schencks entered his roonc and Fife remarked: "You are nol going to attack a man of God in th< presence of ladies." They replied "No, not in the presence of ladies' and retired. Judge Schenck wai sitting in his buggy a short distance away and Fife went to him and of fered his hand and the Judge re fused to take it using a very often % % { ' 'W - / site epithet. pistol. and returnod on whose house exclaimed: "All Fife may hftVC ^^BHPBvly harsh in his denunciation" nut if the conduct of Judge Schonck and allies in having the dance on the llattle Ground, was wrong the kilj ling of Fife could not wipe out the 5 stain, and if not wrong why become offended?" All things work together for good" etc. As a rule we arc not au admirer of evangelists and their methods, but the sacred cause they 9 represent should be respected, and it is wrong, very wrong, for them to seek the protection of the sacred r? desk to abuse and vilify a commun ity. f Great plainness of speech is necest sary to arouse the dormant conr sciences of some people, and when the cause of God is flourishing the * Devil is very active. It is sometimes absolutely essential to recover the ' sick to administer v?ry nauseous! t medicines. r EDITORIAL GLEANINGS. ) _____ 1 Gov. Tillman says "Tho News and Courier is less bitter in opposition and is coming round apparently." The Columbia end is Tighed to the Administration. I Gov. Hoi res, of lo.va, has been renominated on an aggressive tariff re, form plaiform. The campaign will ' i be active and nnrelenting for tariff reform and free coinage of silver. It is unreasonable to expect a man i to refuse a good thing when he can ' get it, therefore, very few men were ' ever known to refuse a "free pass" on a railroad. Senator Irby has < been bamboozled into accepting two i and perhaps more. The Charleston i World's K i no tog rap h has brought 1 this fact to light. We are of the < opinion that all who can get them 1 are using "free passes" on railroads, i Such a course is in exact accord < with the greed of fallen human na- < ture. ' To-day is the 325th anniversary of ( the death of Michael Nostradamus . I ' who made such a stir in the world > three and a half centuries ago by his mystic prophecies. The poet Jodelle thus satirized his name: "Nostra damns cum falsa damns, nam fallere , ostraest, Ktcum falsa damus, nil nisi i Nostra damus." Which translated j means, "We give our own things when we give false things, for it is our peculiarity to deceive, and when , we give false things, wo are only giving our own things." The satirical couplet of Jodellc may be turn- ( ed to useful account in our day. Supervisor of Registration Cant- < well, of Charleston, has carried his case to court for adjudication. It will bo remembered by our readers that Gov, Tillman removed him from the office of Supervisor because he was also clerk of Board of County Commissioners. The Attorney-General by his assistant decided that the clerk of the Board of County Commissioners was an officer, therefore ho (Cantwell) could not hold both positions under the I Constitution of the State. The do i cision of .Judge Wallace will bo hail- 1 ed with interest and satisfaction as i settling the power of Governor over < appointees to oflice. 801110 higher < law than the simple whim of the Governor should obtain in such t cases. ] John R. Keels, of Sumter, is reported by the Sumter correspondent \ of the News and Courier to bo in an 1 other ugly scrape. Keels defended * the Bishopvillo rioters, but they [ were convicted and sentenced to the } penitentiary or pay a fine. A11 ap- 1 peal for a new trial was made but I was refused. White men paid the ' fines of some of the prisoners who j were therefore released and tho otli? ers were sent to the Penitentiary. It 1 > is reported that one of tho prisoners, ltembcrt, had succeeded in raising j - the amount of his fine, $150, and ; turned it over to Keels, his counsel, i for payment to tho court, taking his i receipt therefor. Keels failed to 1? A\ - ~ i appiy uie money to the payment of I the fine, so Hembert is out the \ amount of his fine and is in the i Penitentiary for the full term of seni tence. We are not informed as to t Keels' excuse for withholding the s money from the payment of the fine, : but we decidedly dissent from the ' News and Courier's suggestion that the Governor pardon Hembert as a * means of rectifying the wrong. The State should make Keels dis gorge and apply tho money in the proper direction. To pardon the ne not hfthS^^^df the O^Jrnor. A pardon of lieuibert under the circumstances would unmistakably involve Keels iu culpability and dereliction. Tho folly of criticizing and condemning an institution without understanding its aims and practical workings is forcibly illustrated in the case of Gov. Tillman and the Citadel Academy. Last summer during the campaign and even down to his inaugural, Gov. Tillman's hostility to the Citadel was very manifest and on occasions was prominent ana outspoken. The lirst timo he investigates for himself the practical operations of the institution, lie changes his tactics and says "that the money spent on it is indeed well spent." From a "dude factory" it has become an institution "firmly rooted in the hearts of the people of the State." Mo saw things last summer through green glasses and everything was green and sour until he had the opportunity of grasping his desire and then even a "free pass" on the railrod was an innocent courtesy. XjSttor (ltegular Correspondence.) Politicians arc showing the greatest interest in a statement that Mr. Harrison is said to have made to a friend, to the olTect that in a certain contingency ne would decline to he ilie candidate of his party next year. Hut contingency is the passage of ; i free coinage hill by both House md Senate at the coming session of I Congress. If such a bill is passed ' md t looks now as if it will be, Mr.; Harrison is just as determined as ever to veto it, and knowing that uioli action v ill antagonize a large number of republicans in the West, lie will announce that in the interests of party harmony and success, lie has determined not. to allow his name to be presented to the convention. This story may be entirely true, but it looks more like an attempt to make a sensation based on Mr. Ilarrrison's well-known anti-free coinage views. It has many believers however, and they are men who make a trade of politics. Harbor defense is probably a mighty good thing, but it also conies mighty high. A contract has just been made by the Army ordnance department for gun carriages for the new twelve-inch breech-loading rilled mortars. The carriages arc to cost ?11,500 each if only eight are furnished and if within one year seventeen additional carriages are crdcred they arc to he furnished at [>10,750 each. Mr. llurnson is said to be much offended because the Canadian (Jovsrnment has made public what passLid botween Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minister here, 011 the subject of reciprocity with Canada, claiming that such action is a breach of confidence inasmuch as it was first agreed between these two gentlemen, that none of the negotiations should he made public unless a definite understanding was reached. The prediction is already made that the conference which had boon arranged 'or October 12 between Mr. I lainion, Mr. Blaine and representatives )f the Canadian Government will be Icclarcd off 011 account of this. While Mr. Harrison may not go to :hat extreme it is evident that in his present state of mind such a confer i 311C6 can accomplish nothing. Again the announce! ient is made that Prance and Germany are to re j move all restriction upon the inipor-; 1 1 1? A J . 1 .. I I tuuon 01 xvinencan urosseu porw iii-i to tboso countries.

According to the information of the department the restrictions will be officially removed before the first of next October. Ex-Senator Ingalls is in town, lie lectured to-day to the Glen Echo Cbataqua. A Washington newspaEer man made some fun for the boys y making a proposition to a theatrical manager here to nav him *1.

TO I NO It CASK T.IK Sl'BKl) OF TUAINS. The resistance of the air while a train of cars is running at a high rate of speed is a subject which has long engaged the attention of inventors, but so far without much success. Master Mechanic Buchanan, of the Vandorbilt lines, has been at work on the problem for a long time and is now getting his ideas into shape, lie is experimenting with a stool coach with both ends shaped something like a shin's nmw M<. i 0 ? - X' M I" v " *AU wants his cars lighter ami his engines heavier, for greater speed. He believes a steel cover can ho arranged on an engine so that the air cannot ediy around the cab and the boilers. The entire scheme would bo on the line of the least possible insistence to the atmosphere. Mr. Buchanan believes that something of this sort will have to be accepted before long, and that the railroad train of the future will make 75 or SO miles an hour between this city and Chicago. MUKDKKOUS D0CTOU8. The outrageous manner in which a hospital patient was sont, while suffering from a high fever, from one hospital to another, there to die the next day, has aroused the public to a vigorous protest against any such proceedings in the future. Some of the young doctors in these hospitals exhibit a total lack of judgment and humanity which in this ease was simply murderous.

As some of our newspaper friends appear nervous as to our views, we 1 take this occasion to reiterate them, j We have frequently expressed our j views upon cognate questions; and quite recently we have been in print I unoil t.hn Rnnni fir? mirtot ^e All: - - j V..W U|'VV1?V ' | UUO tl\/n KJ L 1 ano? relations to the new party; so that our inquisitors are responsible for tho repetition.! 1 First, then, as to the "action of the Cincinnati Conference." As we understand the proceedings of that body, it did not erect itself into a separate party. Indeed, one plank in its declaration of purposes explicitly sets fo'*th a refusal to erect a party until the results of certain other conferences to meet in '02 are ascertained. Still, its avowed purpose is to assume distinct party existence, un- J less satisfactory concessions are made ! | before the campaign of ?92 opens. Its platform hugs tho lines of AM liance demands very close; and hence : good Alliance men must regard it as a good platform to tight on if a separate light is determined upon next year, whether they elect to light on it or not. 2 As til t lin "iilfilinl.i i 1"> - ? V..V UWIUUUV UL *11" Southern Alliance towards tin; ncv party"?if it become a party. It is assumed that the question lias ex chusive reference to national issues; for why should any new party be recognized in local and state politics at the South? Surely the fanner luiH the remedy for local abuses here, if any exist, in his own hands. lie knows this, and he is reasonably content with bis local affairs; his principal complaints relate to national legislation, and his demands are addressed to national parties. Once again, then, let us repeat that the Alliance will never assume any attitude towards tbo new party, any more than it has or will toward the old parties. Its constitution does not admit of its assuming an attitude toward any party whatever; and it would be bad policy if the ' constitution allowed. Its function is purely educational. It seeks to arrive at and promulgate economic truth; and then leave the conscience (political as well as religious) of the membership free to express itself in its own way. As a matter of course, since the platform of the proposed new party concurs so closely with the conclusions already readied by the Alliance, its claims upon the individual conscience of Alliance men must needs challenge careful consideration. If the old parties turn their li'ipL- M littnn I lir? ilmimiwla 4-1,u I v??vikW tij/vil V11V \ l V' J I 11 i l V I O ML tlilO IMII^ suffering class of people, if only in coldness, the case will assume great gravity. If, however, as now seems deplorably prevalent, the Democratic press and leaders, not only turn in coldness?but, refusing to listen with patience, intolerantly attempt to read out of the party all who are slow to accept their dogma as to men and measure**, the situation will assume the proportion of political tragedy This is no mere alarmist utterance. An opinion of existing conditions is asked; and a frank, honest judgment, if any, should he given. And our deliberate judgment is that if the current intolerable expressions of Democratic leaders and papers fairly represent the spirit that will dominate the party, the party must calculate upon losing a goodly number of its hitherto sturdy adherents ?bear in mind the national party is referred to. The Alliance masses honestly think that the Alliance demands are more democratic than the Democrat ic party management is at present; but they are willing to submit their case to the arbitrament of reason before the masses of the party, if met in a spirit of fairness and tolernnce. And why should Alliance- men not strive to control party as much as anti-silver democrats? They find in the Alliance demands every sub stftntial reform that the Democracy has contended for since its organization. Besides those, they lind certain demands aimed at conditions that have arisen since the oriraniza - - 0 tion of the party?which conditions are equally obnoxious to true democratic principles. In short, they llnd in these demands more of the spirit and principles of genuine democracy, than appoars in the practice of the party which hears the name. Take for iustunco tho tariff and finauoial issues of the AJUiauce for I h it has been most abused. Tho I ^ ocrutic press and leaders have t ^wmr.bvtl the Alliance most bitter- j v ^voccatise it will not make the tar- is r the single issuo next veur, and yet j t B chin:r to look ut the question broad v % as patriots; it is apparent that the a deference between the Democratic j t takiCf tax upon the people as proposed v in the Mills Dill, and that of the 1 n Republicans, as expressed in the McKinley Dill i< not proportionate to q the radical difference between the j b Rmillhlicjin "nrnfomlivi>" nnlimr i .. ? J I ?"? II the Democratic "revenue only" poli- d cy. It sciiins unreasonable that so 1 radical a difference should bo ex- d pressed by 15 per cent. o They observe further, that the f?- u nancial policy of the government t has passed from a Republican admin s is!ration to a Democratic, and again c from a Democratic back to a Repub- f lican administration untouched. t They suspect, not without reason, a stupendous financial wrong has been perpetrated upon the producing classes; and that its perpetrators have wrought this wrong by deliberate legislation, knowingly, for their own I advantage. When the full enormity u of this wrony, whert by the wholesale ) robbery of t hese classes has been t made pos i .i ers through their e minds and v !i gr.'iinded suspicion t becomes coi;\it ti>n, it. may require y all the conservatism of all classes to '| guide popular indi gnat ion along safe \ lines.
