VftJL. VII ANOTHER UTOPIA. Editor Williams is Off on a Chase After a Mirage. Greenville New?: The esteemed *Stntc hoists the flag of "no compromise.'' It demands that all the reotral otlijes be given to straight and stalwart Shfppard and Orr men that weak kneed Conservatives and - Tillm^nite converts and men of 1111 positions be all barred. It insists that the line he drawn and that all the Federal oftices be given either to Tillmanites or Conservatives. We do not know whether or not Greenville Neies would be classed by The State as "weak-kneed." We have our own opinion on that matter. This newspaper is, however, thoroughly in favor of a compromise and a fair divide all around. The masses of Governor Tillman's supporters are not radicals or political plundt Vers. They are good people, and are as honestly anxious for the well being of the State and as much interested in it as The State or the Greenville JVcws or anybody else. We. do not wish to treat them as foes, and could do it if wo wished to. * When people of the same race, the same party and the same interests have lit# a quarrel, concessions and ^ compromises involving no surrender of principle on either side are the only proper methods of restoring lluuno I >nn <- ' I-1 - t j>v?w. M. 13 BUrtJIV UUSlHtlHC IOT every reason. Wo do not intend to surrender to the Tillmanites and confess tnut we have been wrong and they light, nor would we ask them to make such confessions, and surrender to us. We believe the people on both sides are anxious to get ^ together. We know it is of tremendous importance that they should get together. So long as the present breach and bitterness continue the State is in very serious danger. To adopt the expressed policy of The iStute is to play exactly into Gover nor Tillman's hands. He knows that there are no differences of principle among the Democrats of the State, His organs and spokes;, men are unable to name one point of / essential difference. Governor Till. man knows, or should know, thatlhe has been an expensive failure, that so soon as his record is calmly and honestly studied he will have to go. It is to his interest to keep alive bitterness and factional feeling and heat, IIis purposes would he served jnsc as well?better, perhaps?by the drawing of the line agaitut his fol lowers as by the drawing of the line against his opponents. The Greenville jVeir.t is aguinst Tillman because it is for South Carolina and the great IX^mocratic party, the same reason i! oppo^ps the ostracism of any Democrat because of hi's honest opinions in State politics. We hhope to see the line drawn only so far that cure, will be taken that each side of the line will have an equal share with the other side in South Carolina. We do not wish to see a conquered peace. We wish a peace secured \>y the good feeling of the good people of both sides so that the strife of the last three veara mav ' ^ * / y _ _ j be remembered only to be avoided in the future. Extreme and violent men of both sides sholld be left out. Men whose allegiance to the Democratic party and doctrine is doubtful and wavering, and who are uot sound to the core, ought to bo rigidly excluded. Men who have labored io stir up strife for their own advantage, ought to be denied all favors by the people and President. All the offices?Federal and State ?should be divided with precise equality between the two factions. They should be given to moderate, fair minded, sober men who are true Democrats and who have taken and held their positions from honest sense of duty. There are plenty of such men in both factions. WC (hould all work together to liare*l^*tional lines broken down in this State by 1894, so that the white people of onr State may again t>e a solid invincible host, working and thinking together for the State and the party. That is a patriotic j hope and purpose, the only one we can see our way to hold; for continuation of the conditions of last year means an inevitable split and fearful disaster. These Tillman people are South Carolina white men/ They cannot be whipped or bulldozed or oullied into a peace. We would be ashamed of them if they could he. We are eP?ally sure that the anti-Tillman i ft&ple cannot be driven or forced by threats or preasure or starvation. The thing to be done is for each side to drop, arms, prove its j i - <? ? - ivi utjHi juHiiy wun tno other and agree on a peaceful union on fair terms, each forgiving and forgetting some things, each surrendering some of its claims, or even its rights, for the sake of the State. The Greenville Ncuu is one antiTillinan newspaper which favors compromise and a fair division of the offices and peacb and unity in 1804. Furthermore, wo happen to . V-. A % _ _ know that many of those with whom the Greenville Neics had the honor to labor during the last campaign? mec. who with voice and pen and purse and time and at serious financial and personal risk helped Shep ,,-..,1 i ?i i-i i~ ? --- |/mu (iuu v/n uuu wu uu uu iv if necessary?believe and feel as we do. The Greenville JVeicn does not announce the attitude of The Stat.< with proper precision. We did not "demand that all the Federal offices be given to stalwart inen, Sheppard and Orr.,J We never mentioned the names of Sheppard and Orr, and in ti'sing the name "Conservative" we sought chiefly to designate the men who loyally supported the principles of the Democratic party and the pledges it made in its national platform. That they also vote for Sheppard and Orr is an incident, a secondary consideration where appointments to Federal offices are concerned. That they were and are sound in their Democracy and faithful to tho policies to which Mr. Cleveland is committed is a primary consideration. On several occasions we have endeavored to make clear our belief that the issue in this State is not, one of spoils but of principles, and that it will be so recognized by Mr. Cleveland. We are considering this question from the point of view which Mr. Cleveland and his cabinet may bejexpected to take; the N~cin& regards it from a purely local stand point. Another preliminary statement ia necessary. Wo have never advocated "the ostracism of any Democrat because of his honest opinions in State politics. It may be, as t!i? iVc'tos claims, that "there are no differences of principle among the Democrats of the State." We think that there are very few real Democrats who differ in principle; but the ques tion is whether those who repudiate Democratic principles tire Democrats r And that is the vital question from the Washington standpoint. But the New clearly refers in this connection to State, not to national politios. We do not hesitate to say as to this, that wo believe the large majority of the white people of the State are agreed in desiring good government above everything else. We recognize that, and we would discriminate against any of them, Tillmanite or unti-Tillmanite, solely because of their differences on State issues; but when many of them ab jectly do the bidding in national politics of leaders, some of whom are avowee! Third partyites and others Third partyites inall but name, and so repudiate the authority and the principles?either or both ? of the national Democracy. they must be prepared not to receive the rewards by the trusts of that perty. I All this is only to meet o.ir contemporary on the local field it has chosen for the discussion. We do not regard the question as a local but a national one. Mr. Cleveland will not consider the interests of TillmAtiism nor Conservatism, but those of Democaacy. If ho shall understand, us he ought to be inform^.1 AU^i. 4 .1 " 1 ? on, to put tne reuerai patronage in this State into the hands of men who are openly hostile to Democratic principles and in sympathy, avowed or secret, with Weaver and Tom Watson, will obliterate distinction of Democracy and encourage heresies which have already wrought havoc with the party here, he will assuredly not do the deed. And as to trimmers and tremblers in the issues lately before the people, he will doubtless endorse last summer's slogan of'the Greenville News: ''Skulkers and cowards to the rear; brave men to the front/'?The /State.

(Regular Correspondent.) t Washington, Feb'y 27, 1803. ( The U. S. Senate has been crcd- "J ited with never doing anything hast- u ily, but, unless those usually well ? informed are entirely wrong there i has been a lightning change in the sentiment of quite a number of Sen, ators towards the treaty for the annexation of Hawaii. Ten days ago the opposition to tho ratification of ! the treaty appeared to bo insignifl- ^ cant, to-day it is regarded as having sufficient strength to have "hung ' up" tho treaty for this session. It c requires two-thirds of the Senate to ratify, and many believe that it would he imnossible if a vote wore taken 1 - " t r to got even a majority in favor of j ratification. Politics have apparent ( ly nothing to do with the opposition { although with tho exception of Seni ator Morgan of Alabama, who is one of the Behring S'*a arbitrators an J who consequently hacl to leave for Europe before the matter was set J tied, no democrat is strongly in favor of immediate action on the treaty. , Senator Allison of Iowa, heads the j republican opposition, which in- ' eludes some of those Senators popularly known as anti-Harrison men. Only a small fraction of the opposi ( tion is based upon dislike to annexation; the most of it appears to come , from those who believe that it will ( be bettter to go a little slow in this u matter, now that its in such a shape that there is little danger of a fore- ^ ign country picking up Hawaii. It ^ is, therefore, doubtful whether the , treaty will be'acted on at this ses- j sion. The populists Representatives are ? , right in the fight now being made ^ in the House against Sherman g amendment to the Sundry Civil bill, authorizing the Secretary of the | Treasury to issue, $50,000,000 in 3 ^ per cent gold bonds, to which they . and many of the silver men are unalterably opposed. The greatest interest is centered in this light, he- 0 cause, if there is no compromise or back down on either side it is hound ^ to result in the failure of the Sundry . Civil bill, and consequently an early I extra apssion of Cniicrroas. t.h? rpunlt r, ? j of which no man is in a position to predict with even the remotest de- . gree of certainty. "A good bit of misinformation/' ? said a citizen of Atlanta, Ga., at 1 present in Washington, "has been , given the country concerning my ' fellow townsman, Hoke Smith, He is j constantly referred to as an editor. He is no more an editor than he is a printer, or a blacksmith* He r. is first a lawyer, and next a politi- 1 can. Several years ago he become . the owner of the plant of an unsuc- 'j . cessfnl daily paper, which by a 1 , liberal expenditure of salaies to men possessed of the know-how facul- . i ty has been placed upon a self sus- . tainiug basis. His only connection j, i with the paper has been that of \ financial backer, and I am quite c sure he never wrote a paragiaph for " , it, although he has, of course, dicta- ? ted its general political policy. Smith ? is a delightful fellow to meet and will, I think, become v'ery popular in Washington/' " It is not often that an office holder declines a proffered promotion which carries an increase of salary and bigh.honor, bnt that is just what j Assistant Secretary Wharton, now ^ acting Secretary of State, has done. . President Harrison was- willing to , nominate Mr. Wharton to the vaoan- J cy made by the resignation of Secretary of State Foster, who has gone to Paris to take charge of the case of the United States before tne Heh- * ring Sea arbitration triUnnap but ' iVir. wnarton said no. ills action h is not remarkable, however, under ' i the circumstances. If he became ' Secretary of State he would be out r of office the moment that Judge ^ Gresham qualified, whereas he may continue to be Assistant Secretary t< for a long time to come, as no pre- f . cipitate changes are ever made in 1: , the Department of State. A great 1 head has brother Wharton; he ccn- k aiders a $5,000 salary preferable to 11 i the empty honor of ex-Secretary. * Many of the prominent populists our Word, Your Work, and THURSDAY J vho attended the meeting of the )i metallic league and of tlie reform iress association, held hero last veok, aro still in Washington, goting pointers for 1807. when (ion ml Weaver says they expect to in ug urate a populist President. President Harrison has issued a iroclauiation calling an extra session ?f the Senateof the Fifty-third Congress to meet at noon on March 4, o act on the nominations made by 'resident Cleveland and to transact ueh other business as lie may preent. The opposition to Judge iresham, which at otic time threat ned to reach suclt proportions as to nake a light on his confirmation irobable, has entirely died out, attd t is now certain that 110 objection vill be made to tho confirmation of lis nomination. The usual exciting rush and general hurly-burly of the closing tours of Congress has begun. It s now the season of shady Congresional jobs, and the corridors of the Japiiol are full of anxious men, and here are women also interested in hat "little bill," which they persisently press upon the attention of Congressmen at every opportunity. LMte great majority of these people re doomed to disappointment and, lthough it seems almost cruel to say t, few of them deserve anything Ise. How O110 Farmer Got Kicli. (KnoxvlUo Journal.)

By Iter sixth marriage the Widow Gaddes as she has been known for live years past, becomes the stepmother or forty-seven children, the step grandmother of fifty two, the stepgreat-grandmother ot four. The Widow Gaddes was born Barnes. Her first husband was George Walker, a widow with five children, till of whom alio continued to care for after her husband died, and 8ho in time became the wife of Gaorgo Ot tender, who was also a widower. He had six children, to whom she became a second mother. When she became the Widow Otentender, which she did in less than a year, the five Walker children and the six young Ot tenders continued living with her in peace and harmony, which was not disturbed when the Widow Ottender became the wife of Charles Gregg and a mother to his nine mothorless children . A good many of the children of these different families had grown to be men and women by this time, and, when four years after she became his widow, several of them had married and started families of their own?some of the Walkers marrying Otienders and some of the Greggs marrying both Walkers and Otten dors?sojthat when the Widow Gregg became Mrs. Jehial Fitch her litis band's seven children found only one of the Walker offsprings, three Ottenders and five Greggs claiming a share of the attention of their new mother. In course of time the Fitch con tingent of stepchildren was reduced by marriage until there were only three of them left as a charge in the family, and by these marriages the number of unclaimed Greggs was reduced to two, the Ottenuors to one, and the Walker s ook was entirely wip 'd out. Thus were Mrs. Jehiel Fitch's family cares made so light that she felt unbearably lone some when she at last become the Widow Fitch?so lonesome, indeed, that in less than a year Hhe ceased being tho Widow Fitch and became Mrs. Solomon Gaddes and tho willing stepmother of Solomon Gaddes' seven children. Tho oldest of these children was fifteen, tho youngest two, and as Mrs. Gaddes was now fifty and her latest husband ten years her juniot she had virtually started iu to raise another entire family. This became a literal fact, for in less than a year she was tho Widow Gaddes with tho whole seven of the new stepchildren, the oldest not old enough to support herself, on Iter hands. She kept them together, but two of them having married and gone away recently?nearly six years baring passed since there became a Widow Gaddes?and the last one of the Gregga, tho Otcenders and Fitches having also set up homes of their own, the Widow Gaddes felt so lonesome again that she took it as an providential intervention when Jolin 0. Callan asked her tototake charge of him and become stepmother to his thirteen children, although she regretted that only three of these were to come under her maternal protection, and ench one was older than herself. Her new husband is twenty five years her seni'>r. Although he brings her no young children, as all of her other husbands did, she con soles herself with the reflection that he has thirty grandchildren, many of them small, eleven great-grandchildren and four groat great-grandchildren, some of whom circuui8tan cos may throw upon her personal care. Mrs. Callan, with all her husbands has never had a child of her own, but thirty of her stepchildren grew up under her care. Only one child died among all ihe five families site reared. The first time sho married she lived on a farm she owned, but moved from it to her husband's. The next marriage took her from that farm to her second husband's and so on, each martiage removing her to a new farm, the whole five of which she now owns. -Norwich (1'a.) Cor.

It is ad verso to Hie suite, i he several causes were ably argued before Judges Goff and Simouton, of the U.S. Circuit and District Court, The decree was filed on %st Friday. It is a "forceful" and well put document, giving a clear and lucid exposition of the law. It adjudges and decrees that the Sheriffs of the several counties who had seized the property of the railroads that were in the hands of Deceivers, for the purpose of subjecting it to the payment of the excess tax which the State had levied on the roads, were in contempt of court. Each of them wore fined five hundred dollars and wero committed to the keeping of the United States Mar ? ? -U" -I . 1. . . ?? I .

The court did not go into 11 ; the c|uc8tiou between the railroads I and the State as to the legality or i illegality of the excess tax This c i question was adjudicated at the j April term of the court, 1802, and; t the tax was declared illegal. It was ? then that orders were passed re | straining the Sheriffs from interfer t ing with or levying on the property I ; of the railroads; and it was a disro- 1 i gard of these orders that constituted t I the contempt The. illegality of the y ! tax having been established and the v the decision not having been appeal li ed from, the court was practically e estopped from passing upon this s question, and its plain duty lay in d giving, as it did, protection and re v lief to the roads. Wo do not hold, a however, that the railroads are with- o out errop in this matter. We believe v that ill the outset it wns their legal h duty, if they conceived this excess 11 tax to he unjust, to pay it under protest and bring suit for its recovery. It seems, however, that the U. S. court, possibly without objection, we do not know, assumed jurisdiction of the lirst case without this ( mode of procedure, and in our opinion its decision as well as the one (, recently delivered is conclusive of the matter. ? ltords of l?quull/.iitton ffl The county hoards of equalization f, meet on the 14th of March to pass f, upon the assessments that are now ? being made.
