THE REVOLUTION HOPELESS.
WASHINGTON PEOPLE SO RE
GARD IT.
Republicans and Democrats do not
Propose to Divide with the
Populists the Important
Chairmanships.
[Correspondence of The Ledger.]
Washington, D. C., Oct., 14.—
There is little doubt among the best
informed people in Washington that
the administration considers the
cause of the Cuban revolutionists
hopeless, but why it takes that view
of the matter is unexplainable, ex
cept upon the theory that the
chances are always against revolu
tionists succeeding, or that Secre
tary Olney places more faith in the
words of the Spanish minister than
he does in the news from Cuba print
ed in the newspapers. When the
Attorney General wrote that letter
several days ago advising against our
citizens publicly expressing their
sympathy for the revolutionists be
cause it would be “discourteous” to
Spain—a bad break on bis part, in
the opinion of many—he convinced
numerous people that whichever way
the individual sympathy of members
of the administration might lean,
their prejudice was against the revo
lutionists. Those who support the
administration, right or wrong, say
tha this i* but caution to save the
government from being embarrassed
or having to pay out a lot of money
for indeinnit y in case it toook a wrong
step and Spain afterwards succeeded
in putting down the revolt.
It can be stated on good authority
that the administration will make no
change in its attitude towards Cuba
before Congress meets, unless there
are some radical changes in the situ
ation in Cuba. The Spanish Minis
ter lias told Secretary Olney that it
was absolutely certain the revolution
would be at an end before that time.
If his prophecy be correct that will,
of course, be the lust of the whole
business, until it be revived by |
another revolution. But, on the j
other hand, should the Cubans still !
hold their own in December, Congress ;
will take the matter up, and, if ex- |
pressions of opinion from members i
and senators count for anything, it i
will direct the administration to re-j
cognize the belligerency of the revo- |
lutionists. if it goes no further. The
idea of going t he whole hog and re-
gnizing the independence of Cuba
Qes not and will not lack advocates,
J/oth in and out of Congress.
Senator 1‘eiler, of Kansas, is in
Washington. He says the farmers of
Kansas have made good crops and are
very prosperous, and that there is no
political agitation in the state this
year, as only county officers and a
Justice of the Supreme Court are to
bo elected. Speaking of next year’s
contest he said : “Nationally it will
he the old fight—republicans against
democrats—and it looks like the re
publicans have a sure thing. I think
they will elect the President and a
majority of the House of Representa
tives. Then their troubles will be
gin. They will soon be in the same
pred'cement the democrats are now
in. A breaking up is sure to come,
and both the old parties may collapse
before 1900. It will depend largely
Upon the action of Congress. When
the break up comes about 7i>% of
the democratic party and 25% of the
republican party will become popu
lists and we shall control every de
partment ot the government, which
will then he administered in the in
terest of the people and not of the
shylocks and speculators.”
Republican and democratic sena
tors have made it plain that they do
not propose to allow the populists to
realize any benefit, so far as the re
organization is concerned, through
their holding of the balance of power
in the Senate. No exact programme
has been arranged, but an agreement
has been readied under which the
democratic and republican senators
are to divide the chairmanships and
patronage of the Senate among them
selves and not give the populist senu-
[ofs anything, unless it might be t._e
chairmanship of an unimportant
committee or two. Tiie populist sena
tors who have been in Washington
since this supposed deal became
known say they do not care to dis-
puss It at this time, tint express their
Ability to take care of themselves.
Although this is often referred to
as the age of electricity there is one
place in which the u»« of electricity
has not been the success that was
expected of it. That is upon the big
armored ves-e's of the Navy. Ex
perience has demonstrated that
nearly all the wires are almost con
stantly out of order, and that it is an
impossibility to repair them when
they are most needed. Few people
have any idea of the quantity of elec
tric wires there are on some of the
Bhipi. On each of several of the new
cruisers there are ten miles of wire
psed for electricity. An official of
tlw JUty Dcjmrijuviit'ycakiHg uf hi*
matter said: “We have simply over
done the electric business on the
cruisers, and finding that the wires
cannot be depended upon, owing to
the use of so much metal in the con
struction of the vessel, we shall re
trace our steps to a certain extent.
There will probably he wires enough
left on all the cruisers to furnish all
the electric lights needed and per
haps for other purposes, but the
wires put in to be used for signalling
orders will he taken out, and speak
ing tubes, which can always be de
pended upon, put in. Wo have to
learn by experience, just as people
do in everything else.”

The Southern Railway Co’s., Exposi
tion Work.
Atlanta. Ga., September *20.—The
Southern Railway has erected, doubt
less, the most classical building on
the exposition grounds. It is a most
beautiful and symmetrical production
throughout, and its pure white dain
tiness resembles a gem of most bril
liant appearance and chaste design.
Its gilded dome is surmounted by a
heroic size female figure representing
modern railway progress.
Its interior contains a bureau of in
formation under the auspices of the
passenger department, and a similar
bureau under the auspices of the land
and immigration department, and
also contains an exhibit of rare and
costly selection of the 'finest gems of
the South.
The building is set forth as an ex
ample of the best production of the
architect, Mr. Bradford L. Gilbert,
and it was constructed under the su
pervision of the management of the
Southern Railway Co.
Even more than the Pennsslvania
Railroad was to the Centennial Ex
position at Philau dphiu, and the Illi
nois Central Railroad was to the
World’s Pair, the Southern Railway
is to the Cotton States and Interna
tional Exposition at Atlanta. This
great system reaches Atlanta from
all four points of the compass,
streteing out its immense arms to the
Potomac at Washington, and the
Ohio River gatewa)s at Cincinnati,
Louisville, St. Louis, Memphis,
Vicksburg and New Orleans and
reaching down into the interior of
Florida and penetrating as a network
the entire Southern States, it brings
directly into the gates of Atlanta
trade and travel from all quarters of
the globe.
The Southern Railway being the
only line of transportation entering
tht) exposition grounds, it has under
taken to proudly assert its recogni
tion of this great responsibility, ami
has provided the most ample and ac
comodating terminal facilities, both
at Loyd Street Station, adjoining the
Markham House, and immediately
opposite the Union Depot in this city
ami also at the grounds of the expo
sition itself,
The Southern Railway has arranged
a system of quick train service be
tween the city and the grounds sueli
as the South has never before wit
nessed. These trains are arranged so
us to be run within three minutes of
eaeli other, and afford a total carrying
capacity of 20,000 and in each direc
tion, or a total movement in one
hour of 40,000 people, should neces
sities require.
Vice President Baldwin has im
bued ids entire stuff of subordinates
with a spirit of energy and enterprise
in this undertaking that is bound to
make it the most successful of the
kind ever know,
The passenger department of the
Southern Railway has issued exten
sive and beautiful advertising matter
of original and effective sort, and has
participated very largely in the effort
so successfully resulting in arranging
the lowest rates upon the most liberal
basis for the Atlanta Exposition ever
afforded any exposition of this kind
in the world.
The freight department has lent
similiar aid and enterpriie in provid
ing for the movement of the exhibits,
and indeed the watch-word through-
out the entire Southern Railway sys
tem seems to be “the Atlanta Expo
sition must be an overwhelming suc
cess.”
The transportation deportment of
the Southern Railway is doubtless us
well officered us any railway in the
United States. Most ample and ex
tensive train service has been ar
ranged b} the transportation depart
ment to bring everybody from every
where to Atlanta on this great occa
sion.—I. W. Avery, in Manufactur
ers’ Record, Sept., 27, 1895.

DEATHS AT PACOLET.
There is Some Sickness but Everything
Seems to be on the Mend.
[Correspondence of The Ledger ]
Pacolet, S. €., Oct., 15.—A
slight sh over last night cheered us
consideiablv and the indications are
that we will have more rain before
the clouds pass away. It has been
very dry Jand hot for some time.
Good many old people express them
selves that they do not remember
such a dry and strange September as
the last. Dry weather has been real
fine for the farmers to gater in their
cotton which seems to be linusuuily
while and pretty. Several days of
protracted meeting closed the last
Sunday in September in which we
hope much good was done.
There has been quite a lot of sick
ness here recently, most of which
was among the granite cutters who
have gone to their homes. Some
have retunied looking better than
j ver. It is said that the drinking
water at the quarry is very bad.
Myrtle Hedgputh, little daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. A. Hedgpeth, has
been sick with lever hut is able to go
about t lie house now. We are glad
to see her up auain.
Pope Burnett, eight year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Gill Harriott, of this
place, died last. Sunday night after
several days sickness. He was a
good hoy and was noticed for hi>
bearing his sickness with so much
patience and braveness.
We witnessed the sad scene at the
Baptist burying ground here Sunday
afternoon of the burial of two per
sons at the same time, that of Miss
Nora Littlejohn, of Pacolet Mills,
and the infant son of Mr. and Mrs.
II. S. Lipscomb, of near Pacolet
Mills
Miss Littlejohn bore her long ill
ness with a Christian like braveness
and her long chain of relatives and
friends are grieved to see her go but
hope to meet her in heaven,
It is consoling to think that al
though loved ones are gone forever
still they “have passed over the
river to rest under the shade of the
trees” and they are ready to meet us
at the gate when we arrive. It is
hard for us to always understand
how our loved ones have to be taken
away from us in their childhood and
in the prime of life.
"Not now, hut in the coming years.
It may be in the better land.
We’ll read the meaning of our tears.
And there, sometime, we’ll under
stand.”
‘We’ll catch the broken threads
again,
And finish what we here began;
Heaven will the mysteries explain,
And then, ah then, we’ll under
stand.”
“Then trust in God thro’ all thy
days;
Fear not, for Ho doth hold thy
hand;
Tlio’ hard thy way, still sing and
praise;
Sometime, someti no, we’ll under
stand.”
We are glad to know that Mrs. H.
P. Wood is convalescent.
Miss Terrissa Wood returned home
from Union Saturday after a few
days visit there. She says she had a
very nic* time.
Friends df Mr. Chas. Littlejohn
was glad to see him litre for the last
few days. He returned to Manches
ter, Ga , this morning. He is look
ing well and says he expects to enjoy
the Atlanta Exposition very much us
his home is very near t he grounds.
A good many people expect to visit
the Cotton States and International
Exposition from this place I think
every body should go that can scrape
up enough money to pay their rail
road fare, even if they have to carry
their grub in their pockets.

Pacolet. S. C. Oct. 15—La-t night
Silas Maney, colored, employed at the
Keystone Granite Quarry, was 9 »ming
from Spartanburg. His body wa>
found this morning between here
and Riwh Hill on the railroad with
his head and one arm cut off. Sup
position is that lie was drinking and
went to sleep on the track and was
run over by the night train. 1 think
this should be a warning to those wiio
drink to let the deadly poison alone.
W. E Alman, from near Jonesville,

description of Christ’s suffering in

scenes revolting to his every human

heart. His dying appeal to his be

heart broken, mother was sublime
and sued) as every hoy in our land

said: ‘No one except the lost in hell
