V _ VOL. VII. THE THIRD PARTY ADDRESS. At Last the Formidable Document is Announced. The State. The long expected Third partyito address to the people of the State FKlvas issued by Mr. J. W. Bowden yesterday. A noticeable fact is that nearly every one who has affixed his name to the document is almost totally unknown to the public. In political life tlicy have never been heard of before in South Carolina. Mr. Bow den, when asked who they were, intimated that he thought they were all Tillmanite8, or had been such. IJut here is the address, and it . \ speaks for itself: To the Voters of South Carolina: ' The closing years of the Nineteenth Century seem dest ned to be the most fateful of our country's history; wo might say, of the world, for the lowly and oppressed in every land have their eye fixed on America as the battle ground where the last great tight for human liberty is to take place. Fearful forces of antagonistic elements are being centered here; but a just God has never yet .mocked an individual or a nation by imposing a task that cannot be performed if nu t in a proper spirit. The old-time nicely balanced relations, and well nigh even strength that once existed between labor and :,..i ...... .... .....? r..- ...i.:i . ...... lhl|'iwii II1C llvi lllWlt", lUl ?? 111 1 v5 UIIU has shrunk to a pigmy, the other has grown to a giant. When autocratic kings granted monopolies to their favorites, it taxed their despotic authority to the utmost to defend them against the competition of surreptitious traders; while under our new commercial regime mighty monopo lies are created that not only crush all rivalry with ease, but dominate the Government where their selfish interest are concerned. The curse of our land is partisan 'politics. It is time for us to vote for our best interest. The wily politician, by placing upon sectional and race prejudice, keeps the solid North aind the solid South. Every year in 'Congress the battles of the war are fought over and over while issues of the most importance to the welfare of our people are overlooked or lightly dealt with. We cannot long remain indifferent to the conditions that confront us. The volume of money has been con tracted until business 's paralyzed and the price of the products of labor has been reduced below the cost of prod uctioi). The conspiracy of foreign capitalists to control American labor, by controlling the volume of money has been successful. Corporations, yielding to the power of aggregated capital, control the Government, and so t direct our finances that all save a * bare existence is denied the producers of all wealth. Both Democratic and Republican parties, nationally, are controlled by the same influence. The judiciary has been the bulwark of this formidable and growing power, which, unless checked, will be the destruction of the Democratic principle in government. Thomas Carlyle said, many years ago, that we would have our period <*f trial "when health is intact, crops abundant and the magnificent land open. Then so called statesmen will cry 'over-production'; and then the man of the ballot, the self-reliant the self-pliant, will go to the ballot r box, amidst hunger and destitution (but surrounded by the glitter of self-rule), and ratify by his ballot the monstrous falsehood uttered by misstatesrnen, and vindicate by the same ballot the infamous lie thrown upon the breezes by a senilo editor through a corrupt press, thus bringing ruin upon his country and serfdom upon himself.'' This period upon us. lleformers of South Carolina, will we ratify by our ballots a system that we know to be wrong and that is bringing ruin upon our country and serfdom upon us and our children? Let us file our protest in the sacred form of a frec. man's ballot. Our demands have been either ignored or shamelessly trificd with by both parties The fate of the silver bill in a Democratic House is the last act of treachery. The day for sentimental politics has past. Sentimental politics has cost this country rivers of blood and billions of treasure. The sentimental politician is a fraud, a snare and a delusion. Practical politics and common sense is the need of the hour. Why should we vote for Grover Cleveland for a mere sentiment? Our State convention in May declared that the nomination of Grover Cleveland would be a prostitution of I ' - * ' - . ... ., 4 i cc the principles of Democracyf h repudiation of the demands of the A1 iiance, and a surrender of the rights ; cf the people to the financial kings j of the countrv. Ho is not, the nhoinn of our people. Is the party lash to ; be again cracked to force us iuto line? Is it sentimental or practical politics that is to govern? Will we vote for a mail whose policy is totally opposed to our best interests? Grover Cleveland represents Wall street and monopolistic power. Weaver and Field represent tho , farmer and the laborer. The prin- i pies are tho same that our people j have endorsed in State politics, and their support is the logical result of the decision of the people of South i Carol'na as expressed in the May convention. We shall abide the ver- J diet of the people as expressed in the recent primary upon State issues j and Congressional candidates and will give tho nominees our cordial support, but we aro in no manner bound by that action to violate our obligation to only support men who are in favor of our demands. Citizens, farmers, laborers, brethren?ye who live by tho 3wcat of honest toil?think well, cast your ballots, freighted with the destines of generations yet unborn, for the man of your choice. Let the politicians, ami tlie plutocratic press rave, but carefully consider tho question and vote for the ticket which best represents your interests. This is due your (lod, your country, your children. He not discouraged by the apparent defeat of the people's cause in re cent elections, as it is well known that our political enemies, having the election machinery in their hands, are encourage! hy vilest corruption at the ballot box to defeat the principles wo advocate. The cause that we maintain lives in the hearts of the toiling millions, and when we force from our adversaries a free ballot and a fair count, victory will perch upon the banner of "Equal rights to all, special privileges to none." In support of Weaver and Field for President we submit the following ticket of electors: Eleotors-at-Large?Jos. L. Keitt, of Newberry, J. W. Howden of Anderson. First District?P. I.

Mr. Bowuen states that he did not wish to make any claims as to the vote his ticket would receive, nor could he do so accurately. lie says tho ticket is composed of as good "Democrats''as the regular Demo crane ucKer. jio noes not think that they will do any campaign work at all, but go quietly to the ballot box and voto. lie says that the small j vote that will be polled in the com-1 ing election will be a surprise to J many and he docs not like the prospect. He Kept Everybody at Bay for Five HoursSpringfield, Vass., Oct. 23,? Charles M. Emmons, a gunsmith in the national armory and a manic on religion, broke into Olivet Congregational Church last night, j provisioned the pulpit for a week,; and armed with a revolver and fantastically draped and veiled in black held the whole emigration at bay from 9 a. m. until 2 p. m. The Police Department was summoned to the scene, but did not dare to arrest him and intruder held the pulpit in solitary majesty until he flnail drowsed off and was captured after a short struggle. The strange occupant of the pulpit was flrst discovered by janitor Mr. Dickison, who took the weird figure to be the old Nick himself, and was flying from the scene with his hair on end when he heard the intruder says, "I am Alpha and .Omega." Then he knew jffcf was not Beelzebub, but only limmone. * He started to put him out, but was repelled bv the sudden produo HI "He True (o Youi )NWAY S. C., r _ . ~ ; j tion of n revolver. The police were soninioned, and inarched in boldly till they were within 11 fteen feot of the pulpit, when Kmmons told them ' to go, and they retreated in haste. ! An attempt was made to attuek him ! from the rear, when he tired two shots through the door, and the officers retreated again. Various expedients wore devised. The firemen wanted to turn the hose ' on him, and one sharpshooter olTor- i ed to maim him. Others proposed to smoke him out. It whk finally do- j oided, however, to lay regular siege to the church and starve him out. About 2 o'clock he got so sleepy' that ho could not keep his eyes open and officers llaynes, Atkins, and Mr. Ve8ey seized and disarmed him, KmmoiiB has been crazy for at least four years. After the death of his wife lie created a sensation by lying! in her grave and refusing to get out. [ lie has a mania for lunacy a year ago, after a similar break, in which he did not, however, use arms. Last week he went to Trinity church before the services, entered the pulpit and took his shoes off, and had to be ejected by force. He has also a mania for leading the Bible at prayer meeting, so that he has had to be put out several times' He had in the pulpit when arrested two pistols, two night lamps, a hag of crackers and cookies, two | pounds of gunpowder, a largo supply of red fire, rocketsj and Roman | candles, a breech block of a rifle for a candle sticu, two wooden troughs with which to shoot rockets, a hot tie of acohol, a can of kerosene, a tin funnel, five tins of prepared chicken and turkey, a pail of water, and a tin cup. lie was well supplied with ammunition, and, after firing live shots, ' lie carelessly reloaded his weapon from a long row of cartridges in the j pulpit, lie was wrapped in a yollow rug taken from the altar chairs and had his head shrounded in a black veil. At least 1,000 people stood in the streets from 0 till 2 o'clock waiting % o to see him put out. Itigulls Sec* tlie Dividing Line. Kx-Senator J. J. Ingalls is the author of t lie following strong words: "Wo cannot disguise the truth that we are on the verge of an im pending revolution. The old issues are dead. The people are arraying ilinntwlunc nu/.n inn ci.l.i <ir> s.ll. er of a portentous contost. On one side is capital formidably intrenenchcd in privilege, arrogant from continual triumph, conservative, tenacious of old theories, demanding new concessions, enriched hy domestic industries, battling with the forces of nature and subduing a wilderness; labor, starving and sullen in the cities, resolutoly determined to overthrow a system under which the ricdi are growing richer and the poor are growing poorer." lint the dividing lino which ihe ex-senator sees is practically the line between the Republican and the Democratic party. Protected capitalists naturally llock with those politicians who give them high protection and euable them to tax the masses of the people for their pri Yiite enrichment. A protected millionaire who is a Democrat is a rare bird in Unele Sam's domains. If there are any such they have outgrown the need or the power to tax their fellow citizen*-.

State Treasurer Hates conies to t he front with some literature on the State bond refundment matter, and below is given a statement prepared l>y him yesterday and famished to the press: ' I dislike to appear in print and 1 regret the agitation of the State debt by the press at this time, in as much as what 1 said daring the campaign in regard to the State's credit and debt seems to have been misunder stood, an 1 is now being misrepresented by a number of newspapers in the State, I have decided to present a simple explanation. "1 did not utter a word in the campaign until the meeting here in Columbia. I then deemed it. my duty to publicly rebuke the press and Governor Sheppurd, as the leader of the opposition in the State, for dragging the State's credit into polities. I answered the charge ;hey made that the present Administration had injured the credit of the State, by declaring that the real in jury to the credit of the State was done: "hirst; By the Uepublicans by their issue of unconstitutional bonds iii 1808, and by their Consolidation* act of 1873, which settled the bon* dent debt of the State at 50 cents on the dollar -the first act of repudiation ever attempted in South Carolina. "Secondly: Iiy our own people in 1879-80 sanctioning the repudiation of 50 per cent, of the valid debt of the State by Republican* in 1873 and again opening up the Consul debt, after the settlement under act I of 1873 had been accepted by the holders, only for the purpose of nliminnting some fradulont bonds and not for the purpose of revalidating tho "ante bell inn" hire Loan and other bonds held by our friends abroad. This was made appaerent by the difficulty the State experienced in re funding the Deficiency lionds in I 1888. I have it upon good authority that the English capitalists, lor.g time friends and creditors of the State, made overtures to take the eu tire debt at four per cent, if our people would not sanction the repudiation of 1873. I believe if our. foreign creditors had been treated differently wo could today place our bonds in London at 3 or 34 per cent. ' I was in New York in January last, and was confronted then bv the obstacle of the repudiated fraudui lent bonds. My public remarks were made in Juiy, and I had reason to an ticipatewhat was coming, hut the holders of those bonds did not expect, and certainly did not require, any en. courngement from inc. I am mar. enough to say it would be better for the State if they could be gotten out of the way, and have observation and experience enough to know that there is no longer any practical way of retiring them. That time is past; it should have been done when the consol debt was settled in 1879-80. Capitalists in New York who conversed with me made no objection what ever to the proposed now bonds on account of want of confidence in the present State Government, but chiefly on account of the action of tho Stato in 1873 and in 1879 80, and the presence of South Carolina repudiated bonds on the market. They were themselves convinced that the bonds weie absolutely good and desirable, but they appreciated the difficulty of convicting the investing public. "I feel confident from many personal assurances the business men of tho Stato endorse my views, and I respectfully ask the editors to examine mv Hne/V'h in Urn ' >///-?>. J ... I'lant of July 19th, and the pamphlet 011 the credit of tho State I have for distribution, if they intend further criticism of me," "W. T. 0. Baths, "State Treasurer." Dr. Bates "Bluffs" Badly. We fail to see what excuse State Treasurer Bates can have for accusing the newspapers of misrepresenting his utterances as to the debt of the State. So far as The State is concerned, all we have said on the subject is amply vindicated by his own confession in the statement published today. He admits therein that in a public speech last July he declared that "the credit of the State had boon injured by our own people in 1879-80, sanctioning the repudiation of 50 per cent, of the valid debt of the State by tho Republicans in 1872, &c." Now, when tho Treasurer of tho State charges his own people?albeit his political opponents-- with repudiation of a valid dobt, and makes that charge in a public speech, which hbhhmwk - 2 i * our Country" OV E M BE 11 3, t is necessarily published widely, ho | not only implies that tne "repudiation,"as ho terms it, was wrong, hut that his faction disapproves it, and thus leads outsiders to believe that i their accession to power will mean a lighting of this alleged wrong, and tho payment of the "repudiated' bonds. This is the interpretation which any sensible, logical man will place upon it. If the T'llman Administration did not believe that the bonds alleged to have been "repudiated" should rightfully bo paid, why did its State Treasurer make it appear that the Con sanations had sinned in tlie alleged repudiation? If this was made an issue in the campaign by Tillmanites ?as it was \*as it not to be expected that the Tillmanitos, if g'ven a new lease of power, would recognize these bonds, wrongfully "repudiated?1 Wo arc satisfied that any Northern capitalists who may have read Treasurer Hates'attack upon tho integrity of his "own people" must have concluded that ho meant what lu> said?that these bonds, being '-'valid," would ht5 recognized?if, indeed, they did not become alarmed at his talk of "repudiation" and determine to risk nothing in the bonds of a State char* ged by its chief financial officer with so luenous an offense. Treasurer I kites wriggles to little purpose. Tho, Stuir repeats, and he confirms it by his explanation, that if there lias been of late any attack upon the debt-paying policy of South Carolina he is the author of it.

That brings content. A Plain Oirl. Said n young friend to mc the1 other day: "If I had only been born with good looks I might be more at tractive to people. Now, there's Alice Scott, she has such beautiful eyes, and Hattic Barnes such a love ly complexion, and Mamie Reed ? well, her face is altogether perfect but J am so plain, not one redeeming fea1 tire." I was just al> \?t to reply wlion the girl laid her hand over my mouth and laughingly continued: "I know just what you are going to any,'Handsome is that hansomo does, and that is such an old proverb that it is worn threadbare.' "You are much mistaken," 1 interrupted, "although it is true notwithstanding, M iss. Saucebox; I was going to tell you about a lady I once had the pleasure of meeting. I was visiting a friend at one time who had a very largo circle of ac quantanccs; wherever wo went I was sure to hear the name of a certain lady (Miss Rollins) mentioned, and every one, strange to relate, had something to say in her favor?indeed, every one seemed to he quite IH-llit'U ilWil} Willi 11IM'. "Naturally I was desirous to moot so charming a Croaturo, of whom I hud drawn a mental picture. It is needless to say that I fancied her u great beauty. "One morning my friend and I were sitting on the veranda, reading, and hearing the gate click J looked up and saw a very plain looking wo man coining up the drive way. With a beaming smile and delighted exclamation, my friend advanced to meet hor, and when greetings were exchanged she was brought forward to where I was sitting and introduced as Miss Rollins. Judge of my surprise. This plain, unassuming woman?Miss Rollins! 1 could not believe my eyes?hut she smiled, and then her countenance was illumined. She spoko, ami her voice was music. For an hour I listened, almost entranced, and when our visitor had gone I confessed myself another devote at her shrine.'' "Rut after all she was attractive? she did havo charms." began my young friend. "I haven't finished, Miss Impetuosity," I answered. "J learned afterwards that when Miss Rollins was in her girlhood she spent so much time fretting over her plain looks that she really made herself very unattractive and unlovely, but it was her good fortune to meet with one who urged her to cclf forgetfulneSS and a desire to please and help others, and she soon learned that a kind, thoughtful act, a sympathetic word and a pleasant smile, went futher than mere beauty of countenance." ' Rut she couldn't change her voice," still argued the girl. "Indeed she could, Miss Incredulous," I replied. "A voice trained only to articulate tho gentlest and kindest of words unconsciously grows soft and musical in tone. Dont't you suppose that if Miss. Rollins had kept out grieving and grumbling be causa of tho plainness of her features she would soon have cultivated a fretful and whining tone? And if gloomy and peevish thoughts had been allowed to rungle in her heart instead of the winnsomo smilo there would have been scowls and wrikles? "Ah my dear! true beauty comes from within if the heart \a ricrhr.* - -0 ? if peace, contentment and love dwell within it, they will reflect themselves in the countenance and bright1 en plainest features. So take my advice, accept the inevitable, give up thinking about your looks, do good ' and be good, and in the end you will be happier and have more friends than if you had simply a pretty face.
