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

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

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.

Washington Letter.
(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. *

How O110 Farmer Got Kicli.
(KnoxvlUo Journal.)
A correspondent of the ltural New
Worker had a talk with that rarest
>f men?tho individual who trot
ioh by farming. He told the soret
of it in the begining, "The way
vo accumulated our little pile was
imply by spending less than we
naue." That is plain enough, an
pen mystery. The farmer contin
led. "It is extray agance and bad
nanagement that is the matter with
lie farmers?extravagance and bad
nanagement."
"He told of his own good managenent.
Part of it was to give all Ids

Slio Has Made ? Lifu Work of
Marrjitiif Wldowern and
If on ring t li<"i i* Children.
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.)

A decision in these important
cases has been rendered. 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

filial until the fine is paid, or they ]
purge themselves of their contempt t
<>f court. 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. ?

'Advice" to u Hoy. |
In one of the large railroad oflic-'S '
in this country is a comparatively
young man, who is at 'he head of a ?
large department. When he enter- 1
ed tho service of the company, five i
years ago, he was green and awk- 1
i f r
ward. 11c win given the poorest
paid work in the, department. Tlie
very lirst day of His employment by 11
the company, a man who had been at 1
work in the name room for years tip- r
proached him and gave him a little (
advice. "Young fellow, I want to 1
put a few worda in your ear that will . c
help you. This company is a soul- |
less corporation, that regard em. |
ployeos as so many machines. It
makes no difference how hard you
work, or how well. So you want to r
do jufct as little as possible and to ro- a
tain your job. That's my advice. 1
This is a slave pen, and the man j
who works overtime or does any specially
fine work wastes his strength.

bought over tho "advice," and after
l quiet little strugg'o with himself

any more pay from tho com>:iny
or not. At tho end of a year
he company raised his wages and
dvaneed him to a more responsible
>osition. In three vears he was irot..
ia third more salary than when
10 begun, and in five years he was
lead clerk in the department; and
he man who had condescended to
;ivo the greenhorn "ailvice" was
rorking under him at the same *
igure that represented his salary
leven years before. This is not a
tory of a goody-goody little boy who
lied early, but of a live young man

ther young men just beginning to
rork their way into business. And
ere it is: "Whatsoever thy hand
indotli to do, do it with thy might."
