Tho two factions in Charleston liavo been at last tenderly united. Clov. Tillman acted as sponsor and gave both parties away. Tho young German Emperor lots his whisker'! grow while the na tions of Europe are having a closo shave to escape war. That must have been an awful humiliation for Mrs. Eassolt, of "New York,?to bo kissed in public by a Republican candidate for Governor. The postmasters of the Slate mot In Columbia last week and mado suggestions to help John "Wanamaker's carrying trade. These bo days of reform but it is merely conventional. The two factions in Charleston have protty well succeeded in showing off to ludicrous disadvan tage in tho eyes of the people of the resj) of tho State. It takes Tillman to run tho town. Wo bog to call tho attention of Sub-treasury advocates to tho ne cessity of amending tho plan ho ns to afford relief to tho Richmond Terminal Railroad Company. JThoau poor people uro badly in dobt. Why shouldn't tho govern ment help them? Hardly will a building and loan association loud money on real es tato to tho extent of eighty per cont of its value but do not the ad vocates of the Sub-treasury assert that tho Government will incur no risk in lending; eighty dollars on ono hundred dollars worth of per ishable farm products? A considerable portion of tho , cotton crop is cultivated and har vested by intelligent white labor ers. If there was any reason for tho demand for more pay by cot ton pickers those men would tako part in tho agitation. Tho white renter who picks two hundred pounds of cotton in a day has earned just ono dollar though no actual money passes. if ho could not afford to give his labor for such . a price, lm would insist upon a pro portionate reduction in the amount of rent paid to his landlord. Tho colored Allinncemnn will find that there is a largo (dement in tho whito Alliance who, from a labor standpoint, aro in tho same boat with himself and whoso move ments ho will do well to watch be foro doing anything rash. Letts Have Reform! "There is one plan of conducting ?elections which in its very mime . carries assurance of honesty?and that is the Australian ballot sys tem. With modifications it would prove as satisfactory in South Car olina as in any of tho score of Mtates which have adopted it, and it would bo as effective as any plan in preventing tho rule of ignorance." This suggestion is taken from an editorial in Tho State of Sept. 16, commenting on the status of Char leston's municipal contest. It con tains moro substantial reform and offers hope of more real advance in political methods than all that has boon accomplished or attempted in tho agitation which lias lately dis turbed South Carolina. If The ( State is In for a fight to a finish on this lino tho AnvfciiTismt is with it; If Tho Stato is not, then the Ai> VERTIber Is in for tho fight all tho same. In another column, wo print an explanation of tho ?Australian Bal lot System with a statemont of its good points taken from tho New York World's Almanac of 181)0. It may bo safely assorted that th? experience of the states and cities which huvo adopted the sys tem proves that it goes incompara bly further than anything olso yot devised to secure an absolutely fair, honest and untrammelled vote. The A ov RivTlSKit believes that thorn has been littlo violence or in tjmidalion und practically no bri bery in the actual conduct of elec tions in this Stale since 1878. The Registration and Eight llox laws, amounting in large measuro to an educational! qualification, huvo bar ricaded tho rule of Democracy against the possibility of incursions from negro Republicanism. This is as it should have been; white Huprcmacy Is tantamount to all other political considerations in the South and whatever fortifies it Is in its OoWIlCe good. Tilio adoption of tho system hero urged does not threaten and could jjfaft endanger it and in addition on ? ^ two preventive moasures above mentioned could be incorporated into it with no weakening ot their effectiveness. Hut while the ballot in South Carolina is and has been free in the sense that there has been an absence of open-faced fraud and coercion, there have been frequent murmurs that the will of tho peo ple has not been expressed. With in the Democracy, these have brought ubout tho almost total sup planting of county and congres sional conventions by primaries and it is about assured that tho day of State conventions is over. In tho unpleasant campaign of last yenr, it was tho past adherence to tho convention system that gnvo pluusiblo excuse, (not foundation) to tho cry that tho Stato had not had genuino Democratic govern ment since 1870. While th6 estab lishment of tho primary plan bus been a tremendous stridu towards purer Democratic or popular meth mothods, it has not made the pop ular voice A truo unerring express ion of tho people's unbiased will. Those who have watched our pri maries know that In them tho cau cus litigator, tho man who meets with two or tlireo In a secret place to name tho ticket and stock tho I cards, who is bold to denounce or full of whispering insinuations, still is king; and tho spectacle of one man hauling up his weaker brother and overseeing him till ho pokes j Iiis ticket in the box Is ft common one. Under the Australian system the contests ifi our politics would still bo fought out within tho confines of the white man's party, and the ADVKRTISKR lor one, is convinced that it would purge them of nearly all their dirty accompaninicutB. It would at least settle tho hash of tho boss and ring master who tow in voters from tho lanes and byways. After all a tree ballot and ft fair count is "right so long as it is right!" The Australian liallot System. What is termed the Australian Ballot System, tho professed pur poses of which are to secure tho secrecy of tho ballot and provont tho intimidation or corrupting ol the voter, was practically intro duced into tho United States in 1888 ">y its adoption by law in the Stato of Massachusetts and tho city of Louisville, Ky. Tho substantial requirements of the Australian system are as fol lows: Ballota are to bo provided at public expense; nono but these ballots uro to bo used; on thorn are to bo printed the names of all can didates who aro nominated either by conventions or petitions a short period prior to tho election; the ballots aro to bo distributed only by sworn ballot clerks, at the polls, to voters, and for actual and imme diate use in voting; the voter is al lowed live minutes in which to re tiro into a booth conveniently ar ranged, where ho secretly marks his choice ol candidates upon the face of tho ballot, or, if ho prefers, writes the names of candidates of his own nomination in place of thoso whose names aro already printed; having done this he pro ceeds directly to the ballot-box, and without exposing tho faco of the ballot, or communicating with any one, deposits the ballot a) his vote, For tho benefit of the blind and il literate, such a voter is permitted to select one of tho two ballot clerks, who, under oath of fidelity and secrecy, assists him to mark his ballot. No person can peddle or offer any ballot to another per son within ono hundred feet of any polling place on the day of election, if any person in preparing a ballot spoils it, he may successively ob tain others, one at a time, not ex ceeding 'three In all, upon return ing each spoiled one. The ballots thus returned must be immediately cancelled and preserved by tho ballot clerk. The Rhode Island Ballot Reform Association, while advocating the adoption of the Australian system, issued a statement of the advan tages which it claimed for the sys tem, and they wero presented thus: 1. A .vecrct ballot, east as pro posed in tIiis plan,'interposes the most effectual preventive of the bribery of the voter ever dovlsed. 2. A secret ballot secures the vo ter against the coercion or undue solicitation of others, and enables the most dependent elector to vote as his conscience dictates, In per fect freedom. 8. Excuse for assessment of can didates is taken away. A poor man is placed on an equality with a rich man as a candidate. Money will bo less of a factor in polities. 4.

The waters of the Idthla Spring are odorless and colorless, free from suUnary taste, rather palatable. When* taken in a considerable quantity they do not nauseate, purge or produce any feeling of discomfort. I lind from an analysis of the witters they contain cloride sodium, carbonate potash, carbonate soda, carbonate Itthia, carbonate iron and sulphate magnesia. The waters act directly upon tlio mucous coatOb of the stomach anil alimentary canals they are powerfully alterative j and tonic. They are soothing to I inflamed or irritated surfaces. They react upon the blood, ehung ingm it from acid to alkaline. In indigestion, catarrh of stom ach and gastralgia, suppplcmcntcd I with u proper diet they are a cer I tain cure.
