Phi Wren _Cry MM^rl^9M9fh. Party Tyranny. Gov. Tillnian told the Cleveland managers In Chicago that If Cleve land was nominated he did not be lieve that he could carry South Carolina on account of his financial views. The Governor never spoke a truer word. The very acme of tyrannical party rule is obtained when the wishes of the Democratic voters of states whose electoral veto has always been cast for De mocracy, are ignored and a candi date forced on them who oppo9os every principle held by them, and that action is adding Insult to in jury when we know that his nomi nation if forced by the spoilsmen and ofllce-8eekers from states who have never given and never will give an electoral vote for the Dem ocratic nominee. There is yet a spirit of liberty left in the hearts of the men of Carolina that will re volt against such unscrupulous bossism. No, the Alliancemen of the South cannot support Cleveland, because ho is tbo embodiment of tho plu tocratic ideas that refuses to recog nize our needs oven, and are still further from giving us any remedy. The nomination of Cleveland will mean, if be is elected, that monop oly will be fostered, plutocracy protected and a very few white men In the South will get to feed at tho public crib. No relief for the toiling masses; no promise of bet ter times in the future; you fur mers and working men of all classes must submit; you mer chants must say nothing, toil and sweat and sink into the degrada tion of sorfdom, but you must vote the party ticket for fear of the force-bill aud the evils of negro domination. And when you vote for Cleveland you will vote for a man who never raised his finger against tbo force-bill and who openly encouraged miscegenation. And you wilL settle in your minds before you vote which Is the greater evil: the shadowy possi bility of negro domination or tho continued rule of English and Wall Street money that is certain and unavoidable. Cleveland means that National Democracy slaps you in tho face and intends to whip you into line. The result will show how much the spirit of freedom obtains, among our people and how far they will submit to the bossism ot unscrupulous politicians.?Edito rial in Cotton Plant of June 25th.

Nature intended woman to bo beauti ful, healthy and happy. But her mul tiplied niiBories hnr^jrrv\m?a?dmm^ggQ properly performing hcr"^wM^WuimvT sion, impaired her physical functions and poisoned tho sources of new life. Tho mothers of one generation mold tho men and women of the next. A sick mother cannot produce healthy descend ants. She is simply a transmitter of sickness to posterity. And the majority of mankind aro born sick. So tho chief causes of sickness aro continued, and the tide of human infirmity flows for ever onward. In civilized life not one woman in five hundred is fitted for tho office of mother hood on account of complaints common to tho sex. This may saein a startling statement, but it is amply attested by those peculiarly qualified by extensive !>rofcssionul experience to give an opin on. And still, despito these facts, thero are fore gleams of a more glorious futuro than ever imagined by man.?Hall's Journai of XlcuUfc, A Terrible I>lHcovory.
