NOTICE TO LEDGER READERS.
If you owe us for subscription
come and pay us.
and we shiver over a blazing fire and
long for the sun to hasten his march
to the zenith.
Poor Florida! the land of llowers
and oranges and early vegetables is
now the land of distress. Orange
groves—the pride of the millionaire
and the support of the poor—have
lost their beauty—their glory has de
parted.
Twenty degrees! what a difference
they make. How dependent are we
upon that power that commands,
“Hitherto shalt thou go hut no far
ther.”

THE WEEKLY LEDGER.
The Limestone Printing and Pub
lishing Company was chartered a lit
tle over a year ago, and The Weekly
Ledger, the child of promise, made
its debut a short time afterwards.
This issue is the first number of our
second volume. This, then, is our
first anniversary. The infant of a year
ago can now stand alone. The fact
is, from her earliest days she gaj
signs of a useful career. InJvgTping
others she knew she c£gtf ll best help
herself. Whik^~44len ghe has been
miifijit^jf^r'to the interests of her
laiiy readers and advertisers, she
has nol been unmindful of her own
personal appearance. The Ledger
wishes to please others, and in doing
this she pleases herself best.
Home discouragements attended the
first few months of her infancy. Al
though a “proper child,” she was hid
den for a season, but when it was an
nounced that she could he seen for
the populist’s sign—a silver dollar—
her popularity was established, and
she was embraced with the ardor of
fraternal love.
The Ledger has everything to he
thankful for. She knows that she
has served her growing city and pros
perous community with fidelity to
their varied interests, and in return,
her subscription list and expanding
advertising columns hear witness to
her prosperity.
With many thanks and a how on
this anniversary of her birth, she con
tinues her usefulness and labor of
love.
A BACKWARD GLANCE.
The time when the present Congress
must adjourn is fast drawing near
Foriine we are not sorry. A grand
opportunity opened before it, hut it
was not equal to the occasion. Un
heeded, the opportunity passes; soon
the billows will roll over it as it sinks
into oblivion. A democratic presi
dent, a democratic senate, and House
overwhelmingly defiioeratic. yet noth
ing done to redeem the time, precious
time wasted while the country looks
on in dismay, vainly begging for re
lief
The republicans have kept their
forces organized from first to last,
and, under a trained and aggressive
leader, have steadily gained ground,
until the waiting minority will soon be
a working majority.
The democrats have not been true
to party pledges so solemnly adopted
in party platform.
It is vain saying it could not per
form them. Whether it could or not.
nothing short of performance could
or ought to satisfy a people who re
lied upon these pledges when, over
whelmingly, the reins of government
were turned over to democratic con
trol.
Is the democratic parly the party
of inaction, of indecision, of lack of
insight, of overburdened conserva
tism? or is it that its forces ure dis
organized through too long disuse,
and in the two years just closing
there has not been time sufficient to
marshal them to victory? In these
years no leader has arisen who had
force sufficient to hush the cry of dis
cord and change an inert mass into
a living, palpitating, conquering
host.
The principles of democracy are
true, and truth never dies except to be
resurrected with greater powers and
enlarged usefulness. A few more
years spent in retirement and medi
tation may bring the needed power.
OUR FOREIGN LOAN.
In his last short message to Con
gress. the president made it plain
where he stood on the financial ques
tion now agitating the entire coun
try. At the same time, if congress
failed to act in the emergency, the
responsibilitiy would he with it, and
not with the Executive.
Is it not strange Uiat^grejgn capi _
talists are asHUrc . the
£sident that they will furnish the
gold necessary to keep intact the
treasury 'reserve fund? There will |
be no difficulty in placing one, two, j
or three hundred millions of thirty-
year four per cents, to he held in
Europe for investment purposes.
And stranger still.they do not require
a stipulation that these bonds must
be redeemed in gold.
All the anticedents of our country’s
financial operations indicate that
gold and. gold only, will he paid to
redeem her bonded debt. The more
precious metal must go for her
debts. Why must the country pay
annually in interest on our hundred
millions of bonds, |500,000 in excess |
of what would he paid had Congress
obligated that the bonds would he
paid in the yellow metal?
Why? hut for a sickly sentiment.
This is costly legislation. What
does Congress care? The president
is left alone to maintain the credit of
the government, while republicans
and populists and democrats wrangle.
He acts, confidence is restored, the
gold current commences to flow to
the treasury, it is flood tide, the
vaults are full.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL MOVE
MENT.
All around us are evidences of a
movement that is assuming vast pro
portions. Perhaps in South Carolina
we have been out of the direct cur
rent. hut it is all around us and we
are heginnig to feel the effcq
ihcm^rirruvit
Men and women of a high order of
talent have consecrated their lives
to the work,and, after years of prepa
ration and sowing,the ripening grain,
hears witness that the harvest is
near.
Thorough organization, systematic
Bible study, training in normal meth
ods, being better equipped for work,
all are uniting in making the Sun
day School a power that is a power
indeed. Spartanburg is one of the
pioneer counties in this work. Let
her keep well to the front.
THE RECENT COLD WAVE.
The temperature has been as low’
with us before as it registered Thurs
day night, hut seldom has the cold
wave come on us so suddenly. Per
sons caught away from their homes
or who were compelled to face the
storm, were forcibly reminded of the
blizzards of Texas or of the Missouri
valley.
Nor have we suffered alone. From
Montana to Florida, and thence to
New England, the wail has gone up
from suffering humanity.
The Dakotas and Colorado and the
North Eastern States lire somewhat
accustomed to these sadden blasts
from the upper regions, or the north
star, or the frozen pole, hut Florida
and Ixmijtiana have L'fcjiUWlly com
menced to put on their lipring garb
ere Hi. Valentine’s day is celebrated.
A few hundred feet of air vertically
limits our habitable area. Bise above
that or sink beneath it and wo suffer
loss. Ho is it as to temperature. Let
the thermometer rise to the nineties
and we fume and blow and rush to
HAWAII AGAIN.
This time the little self-constituted
republic is trying to settle herself
after rising in her dignity to quell the
upholders of royality. The ex-queen
is a prisoner in her own palace, and
her formal abdication in favor of the
republic is met with an iciness that
is startling. Gaining boldness with
the exercise of power, she is apt to
stretch her authority until it clashes
with nationalities that will not brook
her insolence.
We cannot blame her for putting
down rebellioun within her territory,
hut when citizens of other republics
are concerned, it is the duty of those
republics to see that her citizens are
no executed without a fair and open
trial.
THE HAY CROP.
Every spring there is a scarcity of
hay in our market, and the demand
calls for it to he brought in from pla
ces no better able to produce it than
ourselves. Tins is a reflection upon
us us farmers.
Anyone who bus taken the trouble
to harvest the crop from a small area
planted in clover, or pea vines o
Timothy, or even in crab grass is sur
prised how rapidly the pile grows and
his Iihpiik have to he made larger.
Besides, it is cheaply raised, readily
harvested, and, when baled, easily
housed, in late winter or early
spring the demand is pressing for a
good article. Much of our waste
places cuuld ;jo easily be made a
source of profit.
O. W. (). Hardman, Sheriff of Tyler
Co., W. Va., appeeciates a good thing

A Newsy Letter From the Nation’s
Headquarters.
Washington. Feb., 11.—It has
been hinted more titan once during
the present session of Congres that
1’resident Cleveland did not want any
financial legislation, unless it met
his own ideas entirely. Now it isn’t
hinted, it is plainly told that he does
not. Since the sending of his special
message to Congress, announcing
that he had negotiated the sale of
$152,400,<KK) in thirty-year 4 per cent
bonds, at a price making the interest
0 and 5-1 per cent, and giving Con
gress the option of authorizing within
ten days an issue of 55 per cent gold
bonds, which he says the purchasers
will take in preference to the 51 and
0-4 per cent coin bonds, there has
not been the slightest doubt about
his position. He wants gold bonds
and nothing else. All talk about the
President meeting the silver men half
way in some compromise measure is
now ended and the issue squarely
made, gold bends or nothing. It will
he nothing. Notwithstanding Mr.
Cleveland’s statement that gold bond
would save the government $1(5,000,-
000 in the interest on these thirty-
year bonds, no gold bond hill can
possibly become a law. The silver
men do not regard this as a question
of interest, hut of principle, involv
ing values beside which $15,000,000
would he a mere bagatelle, and, as
they absolutely control the Senate,
they will kill any gold bond hill, even
if the House does not, and besides,
they may do some plain talking
about the President selling bonds to
a private foreign syndicate which
hear 3 3-1 per cent interest when he
could easily have sold a .‘1 per cent
bond at home, thus, as they claim,
wasting $ 10,000,0(40.
The impossible task of getting a
thirty-year 3 per cent gold bond
through the House has been assigned
to Mr. Wil-on, chairman of the ways
and means committee, and he discov
ered as soon as he called the commit
tee together, if he did not know it
before, that it would he no small
ta>k to even get such a hill -reported
to the House. The republicans and
populists all oppose it and more than
half of the democrats.
Few people knew, until the Senate
declined to receive tin petition ask
ing for legislation looking towards in
ternational. arbitration. which wa>
signed by 33(5 members of the British
Parliament and brought to Washing
ton by one of them, Sir. Cremer. thal
there was a rule against receiving pe
titions from aliens, except through
the minister or other official represen
tative of the country in which the
signers reside, and then it must be
presented to the Secretary of State
and not directly to Congress. It can
readily he seen that it is a good rulej
too.
Of far more direct interest to the
people of the United States than the
Xicaragua Canal scheme, is the canal
scheme proposed in a Senate amend
ment to the Sundry Civil appropria
tion hill. This amendment author
izes the President to appoint a com
mission of three persons to confer
with a like commission to he named

Whether the Senate will take up
and pass the railroad pooling hill, is
still a matter of doubt w^h the
chances somewhat against the hill. A
member of the Housi—Conn, of Ind.,
—is responsible for the following lan
guage: “The Senate can do this
country a service by not taking up
the pooling hill. That measure was
lobbied through the House by the
liberal use of railroad passes and a
generous employment of railroad at
torneys. and deserves to he killed in
the Senate.”
The Hawaiian cable amendment to
the diplomatic and consular appropri
ation hill went through the Senate
easily, 5 democrats voting with the
republicans and populists for it, and
one republican—Pettigrew—with the
democrats against it. It authorizes
the President to make a contract for
laying the cable and appropriates
$r>00.<XXl to begin the work.
There are just three weeks remain
ing of this session of Congress and
six of the regular appropriation hills
are yet to he acted upon the Senate.
This of itself would he sufficient to
make the fate of all other legislation
doubtful; hut in addition, republican
Senators arc now openly saying that
it is their intention to block any leg
islation of importance except the ap
propriation hills. Senators do not
always mean what they say about
their intentions,hut there are numer
ous indications that this time they
do, and if they do they certainly have
t lie power to do eo.
Washington was for a time cut off
from the rest of the world on account
of the great blizzard and snow storm,
and alt iiougli most of the railroads
are now open there is little or no
communication with the surrounding
country by ordinary roads yet, and
the Potomac river is closed to navi
gation. As a consequence there is
great scarcity of that class of food
products furnished by the surround
ing country. So great is the suffer
ing among the poor that Congress has
without opposition appropriated $l<l,-
(MXi to he immediately available for
their relief.
