Ooxeytsin. neu Tillmanism mado its advent r four years ago or moro a promi Iti/eu of South Carolina declared 'i I' nun a symptom. Mado at so early junoturo it was a happy hit. It will bo remembered that tho Governor had nothing to suggest as a remedy for the evils that bosot and threatened us but an agricultural college of which ho wanted to bo trustee. Tho matter was strenuously urged, flagged and was \ about doud when old man Clomson dlod willing about four thousand annually for such u college, which vlvlsocted Tlllman's Idea and tho thing took form and became an accomplished fact. Wo have it now with flvo hundred boys in uniform and studying chomistry and tho usoful arts and notably agriculture. At the sumo time overboard Into tho tumbling billows the aristocratic In stitutions of South Carolina, of two centuries' growth with its olrcumum ?hulatlng? rings, woro buried. Since that timo wo have had threo yoars of good government. Now, honestly and Squarely look at the situation. South Carolina, Ceorgia, Mississippi, Toxus, and every state beyond tho Mississippi where agriculture is tho predominant interest sends up a discontouted wail in chorus with tho Edgolicld cry. The trans-Mississippi farmor foods his swine and Hocks upon wheat and erics aloud for a market for his surplus and over plus and furnishes 4iis thousands of re cruits for the vagabond army of Coxoy, whose cry is on to Washington Instead of on to Richmond as in 18<?2-ti*l. Tho unrest, the discontent?tho causo of that discontent appertains to tho _ ^'^?^faiiM itiiMsiiot, to the. small domain of South Carolina where tho Columbia Club dominated. Hogg, Walto and Kolb are a thousand miles from us, vociferous In their distress and refuse to bo comforted. Tho wheat growers of tho West, tho swine growers of tho West, the beef producors of the West havo failed to find a market and they are in the soup; they havo no money to buy our line spun cotton fabrics; cotton drugs on the world's markets and wo are in the soup; wo aro unablo to buy tho products of tho great manufactur ing establishments; thoy are in the soup, and hence and thence strikes, shutdowns, armies of unemployed, Coxoy, unrest, tramps, want of confi dence, and the absence of prosperity that emphasizes the signs of the times. So if wo are right, tho advent of Hen Tillman was truly described as a symp tom, but a symptom of a diseaso not confined to this little district of South Carolina. It is everywhoro. "The times aro out of joint." No ono man will find out the remedy. No dozen nor ten thousand men will discover an antidote. Tho cause or causes that work social disturbances move silently and darkly as vegotation grows and are unobserved; tho causes that rcstoro i.oalth and lifo and a normal condition work in like manner unseen and are not recognized until in another ora tho historian and philosopher como along dispassionately to diag nose thein^0 Let us tlioreforo be calm and dispas sionate; bo patient and wait results. We are not going to get out of the woods except by putting money in our purses: wo aro not going to put money in our purses oxcopt wo find people in the world who want our products and who are able to give good prices for thorn. Wo aro not going to be better off by abusing one another. So lot us be at peace and bide events. The South is probably bettor off to-day than any other section of the United States. She furnishes not a man of tho ragged army that tho West and North aro called upon to feed to-day. No man nor set of men in South Caro lina can help the causo in this State, oxcopt as he can help tho Democratic party to stand strongly upon Its legs to uphold Donioeratie principles, a low tariff and an economic administra tion of the government. in an altercation Editor Thompson, of tho Advocate, shot Editor Rowell. of tho Leader, both of Groenwood. Thk Advertiser has been in a peace vein for two weoks and regrets to hear of warlike demonstrations. In deed, the arming of so many martial companies In the tho State "gives us pauso." Gunpowder has a most villainous smell and a propelling force inhospi table to knee, elbow and ankle joints. Lot our contemporaries turn to Tris tram Shandy and study his humanizing philosophy as when ho captures his littlo annoy or and raises tho sash with: "Go, little 11 y; thero's room enough in the world for you and me." In tho midst of' war the laws aro sj ' iont; In tlmo of peace the guns should bo spiked. Our contemporary, tho Cotton IMant, inqulros why tho Democratic Execu tive Committee don't mcotand arrange a campaign. Our friend is behind tho timos. A convention has settled all that and tho candidates will bo fixed in duo time. A campaign would be superfluous, a work of supororogution, In tho nature of a surplus, a sort of sur plusage A surplus would bo stale. Don't Insist upon tho perfunctory. Ho patlont and your candidates will bo duly sorved to you with your ogg, ap ploand coffee. Please, no oxhibition of tho "gorge," but takoyour mediclno like a swoot good boy. Coxoy's mon who violated tho law at Washington got off with a fow bruises. And McClondon looso. ? it is David D. Hill, who can't swallow tho Wilson Tariff Bill and tho Incomo Pill. Things aro very much mixed just at this juncturo. Tho Democrats do not kuow whore thoy aro at at Washington; Gov. Tillman was kissing hands with tho Pops at Birmingham; Tho dispen sary don't understand itsolf in South Carolina; Tho Supreme Court is in darkness visible, as .Milton would say; tho reform factious seo each other as in a glass darkly: Nobody knows tho turn things will take; The turn things havo taken. A case in poiut feads: "It wired In and wired out, And loft tho matter still indoubt, Whether thosnake that made the track, Was travelling South, or coining buck!" * * + Throe United States Senators have died In a month. One of tho Napoleon's Generals had his log shattered by a cannon shot. Amputation was neces sary at once and tho Surgeons told him to bo proparcd for the worst, when he exclaimed: What, lot a marshal of Franco die! * * * Tho- Hon. Frank Hatten, editor of tho Washington Post, and formerly of President Arthur's Cabinet, died at Washington of paralysis. He conduct ed his journal on independent linos, Ho dies universally respected. So much for honesty and independence * * * An International conference on the Metalle Money question is sitting in London, presided over by the Lord Mayor of that city. To Qx the ratio of Silver to Gold and restore both to the currency of the world is tho goal aimed at. * * * Gov. Tillman is lighting hard to keep tho liquor question out of court until July when Associate Justice Gary steps into tho No. 11 shoes of Judge McGowan. * * * The Atlanta Constitution says we may look for immigration to the South. There are waste places in South Caro lina but new comers arc advertised to be chary of the waist places. * * * A case has gone up to tho State Su preme Court from the town of Florence to test the Status of liquor in South Carolina. The clouds will soon have rolled by. * * * The great church organs of the State urge upon our factions, peace and charity. * * 10x-Prosident Harrison says he Is not a candidate for the Presidency.
