It Is deadly In Its cour Ind kills by its extreme politeness. Govoruor is humiliated by the act manner in which Mayor Dar managed tho "retort courteous." Governor should stick'closely to Constitutional prerogative, the irdonlhg power. ? * ? "A rose by any othor namo would nell as swoot." What is all this fuss 'jout a "spy" being called a "spy?" wo dollars a day and oxpouses seem moot tho case and tho supply of tato "constables" seoms to meet tho ?maud. North Carolinians were vitted as "Tarhoolors" in tho outset )(ThV-kUo war, but when they fought at Big ! let he. 1 and sent moro graycoats than any other Southern Stato to do fond the South tho torm came to sig nify heroism In tho tented field and tho sons of tho old North Stato came to glory in *h" doslgnation. A few more Elliotts and cases of woman beating and tho euphonious term of "spy"' will be sacred in "the bright lexicon" of jnr reform roglmc.

Largo planters arc. not concornod in this posi lon. Tho small farmer cannot com poto and live by cotton alono. * # Tho State has embarked in a lino of education, culminating in Clemson Collogo. It must bo sustained. All patriots in this Stato should aupport it; but politics should not ontor into its control. It should bo outsldo tho sol '.:,.???; and sordldnost of political Oesters. There is no telling what '?**, or what olomont, olean or un ill control tho State, a decade Ve ar,o led to these rofllect '' "> rumors abroad touching . resignation of Prof. Now tho ox's horn Is. giving ho whiskey olomont 'he Black District, is 4 Gov. Tillman - nler is - Tho Statute. Thoro is a good deal of squeamish-' ness being expressed by tho Reform press upon the subject of obeying tho law bocauso it stands upon the statute. Now, because a statute is enacted, that does not make it immaculate. It muy not bo law ?fter all. Whether the Dispon sary act is law, is tho question the Courts aro now trying and tho wholo State stands tiptoe waiting thoir docision. Again it is not wrong, although it may bo illegal, to violate a statute. Franklin, Warren and George Washington utterly ignored tho statutes of George 3rd, and the Boston boys flung tho tea overboard in tho tooth of tho statuto and continue to onjoy the aplauso of mankind. A statute that invades the liberties of tho citizen is not entitled to rospoct. Goorgo William Childs died at his homo in Philadelphia on Friday morn ing last. Ho was the editor of tho Philadelphia Lodger, a successful bus iness man: but in the annals of Amer ica ho will bo sot down as a lover of his followmen. "And to the presence in the room he said, 'What writost thou?" Tho vision raised its head, And with a look made of all-sweet ac cord, Answered, 'Tho names of thoso who lovo the Lord.' 'And is mine one?" said Abou. 'Nay, not so,' Roplicd tho angel. Abou spoke more low, But oheerily still, and said, 'I pra'y theo then, Writo me as one that loves his follow mon.' Tho angol wrote and vanished. Tho noxt night It camo again with a great wakening light, And showed tho names whom love of God had blessed, And io! Ben Adhom's name led all the rest!" The Wilson Tariff Bill is all right in tho Houso; it has passed with a majority of about 04. Tho tug of war comes when it reaohes the Senate. These reverend graybeards will talk until fodder-pull ing at tho least. It is fearful to think of the Hood of tariff literature that must inundate the country during the spring and summer. We can only ad vise our readers to patience, a cau tious reserve of physical resources and to have thoir courage well screwed up to tho sticking point. Govornor Tillman has an article in Tho North American Review for Feb ruary on the South Carolina Liquor Law. He defends it as a father his child as a Temperance measure. He is not the llrst father who could see only good in his hopeful-. Judgo Brawley will not resign his seat in the houso until the Hawaiian/ question is disposed of.

H-g and II?Vjf* l*-<* Good Points in fie Dispensary Law, Tho claims of tho Dispensary to sup port, and its superiority over any form of licensing, rest on tho following grounds: 1st. The clomont of personal profit is destroyed, thereby removing the in centive to increase tho sales. 2d. A puro article is guaranteed, as is subject to chemical analysis. 3d. Tho consumer obtains honest measure of standard strength. 4th. Treating is stopped, as the bot tles are not opened on the promises. 5th. It is sold only in the daytime: this under a regulation of tho Board and not under the law. (5th. The concomitants of ice, sugar, lemons, etc., being removed, there is not the same inclination to drink re maining, and the closing of tho sa loons, especially at night, and the pro hibition of its sale by the drink, de stroy the enticements and seductions which have caused so many men and boys to be led astray and enter on the downward course. 7th. It is sold only for cash, and there is no longer "chalking up" for daily drinks against pay-day. The working man buys his bottle of whiskey Satur day niglit and carries the rest of his wages home. 8th. Gambling dens, poolrooms, and lowd houses, which have hitherto boon run almost invariably in connection with tho saloons, which wore thus a stimulus to vice, separated from tho sale of liquor, have had thoir patron age reduced to a minimum, and there must necessarily follow a decreaso of crime. 0th. The local whiskey rings, which have boon the curse of evory munici pality in tho State, and have always controlled municipal elections, have been torn up root and or auch, and the inlluenco of the barkeeper as a politi cal manipulator is absolutely destroyed. Tho police, removed from the control of thoso debauching elements, will en force the law against evildoing with more vigor, and a higher tone and greator purity In all governmen tal affairs must result.
