It is a popullstlc foa of government. It knocks out with a bloody noso and two blaek eyes, dem ocracy. It is socialistic and contrail'/ ing in its tondoncy. Of course it will bo popular in South Carolina. Dem-, oeracy holds that tho less the people uro governed and tho fewer olllcos 'created tho purer and hotter tho gov jjrnmont. The Dispensary creates hun dreds of Stato officials and agonts: it gives tho Appointing Power corrupt ing patronago in tho State and in that feature is eloso akin to Republicanism. Of eourso it will be popular. Tho poOplo arc b"oTng educated Into the hloa of tho State and the General Gov ernment assuming a paternal relation to their children?managing their do mostio ulfairs, furnishing them meat and drink, free'transportation, issuing to thorn monoy, tuklng tholr stuff in trust and shining ovory man's shoes. Tho klndcrgarton ago is already passed with the pooplo In this State: thousands of our whilom independent democrats aro waiting for the dispen sary to bo ro-ostabllshod with its hun dl'ods of soft salaried positions. Dem ocracy Is not wanted except as Randall wanted and Gorman and Hill want it ?for the soothing influence of th name. Here is where we are at. The Antis aro such stuff as dreams are made of: dissolved like Macboth's witches into thin air; thoy havo become ?? notj^hrgr' -Two years ngo, March "gbno, they rangod thcmsolvos under the device?Shoppard and Orr. Now, that is a name signifying nothing. There is such a thing as a Demo cratic organization: it has a machinery to nominate tho (Treat officials of that party; its practical office has been su perseded: the Reform organization will nominate its candidates for great - State offices. The Democratic "airy nothing'' will be used us a name to con jure with?to do the rabbit foot office "to bo suro." On tho 7th of June tho Irby com mittee will assemble In the charmed circle of Columbia ringsters and order a convention to follow on tho heels of tho R?iorm Convention and confirm its action. The standard bearers thus se lected will bo brandod "Democrat''and ' lifrnod loose upon the country thus em blazoned will fool most of us to the top of our bent. On the same 7th of June, the Pro hibitionist Convention convenes at Co lumbia. This will turn out a side show as in 1802. They will isstto a high sounding manifesto: they will choose an executive committtee, but there will be nothing to execute; they will put out no ticket for State, county or federal places. There is another force, the Alliance. As such it will not figure* its machi nery will be convenient for tho Re formers: its leaders will not'be in it ox eeptjt^)iqy_jmrin^tho Reform ring. The Alliance can be relied on to carry out the behests of theTillman Cabal. This is trffe situation and here is whore wo are all at, by whatever name called into court. In the meanwhile, though unorganized and powerless the Antis aro a silent indefinite force and are the occasion of much concern and alertness. They have and willhave no candidates, but should bo quiet, watchful and ready on occasion to apply their resources where thoy will do the most good. Ac cidonts will happen' and the wise are always ready to turn them to advan tage. Even State officials in this Stato oc casionally come to their senses. Mad men should no longer be sent to Red lam. The State Hoard of Equalization have lowered the ussessmcntu on Rail roads, to something like the scale pre vailing as to other property holders. It is thought all parties will be satis lied. Governor Tillmnn somotimo ago said of tho Genoral Statutes of tho Stato, onactcd by the old Ring, that thcro was a mine of wealth in them. At Augusta Gov. Tillman substantially asserted that the farmers would not havo prosperity at the South until thoy made their own hay. Now and then a Reformer is heard to say that the trouble with the South comes from the unjust financial, pension and tariff leg islation of tho General Government. Nobody now believes in tho manifesto which charged rottenness on our foro ' fathers. A certain ruler asked a courtior if "he over lied; The courtier answering: ?* I toll a Ho in this morning, at noon it has had its effect, and in tho evening I correct it.

Tho other sldo is to bo hoard. Mayor iiargan, of Darlington, is to writo an article for tho North American Ro ^Vl w tho Dlsponsary, or Stato llq ado monopoly, in South Cure Tho thUag is taking the right Tum WutHOkt. Tau Georgian whoso namo heads this article passed as a smart young follow. Hi- brilliancy pales as a rush light before tho sun-bright splendor of his Carolina brother. Tho Georgia ptxMtgy sold his law library, joined tho Alliance, wont to Congress ono tonn and was knocked out by Georgiu politicians. Tho young Carolina at torney stands about thus In the dis tribution of oUIeial pottago: Three Supremo Judgcshlps, $10,000; eight Circuit Judgcshlps, $21,000: eight solicltorships, $12,500: Lieut.

Witness tho neat way In which he disposed of Milan, Judge in the Chicco easo. Governor Tlllman ordered Chicco of Charleston indicted for perjury. He was arrested and Trial Justice Milan discharged him on a preliminary hear ing. Thereupon, tho slayor of giants lot fall his "sword of sharpness," and Milan's official head dropped with a Lhug into the basket. Milan descends to the dead level of a private citizen of Charleston and one Theodore S. Gail ?lard rises to the vacant dignity. So runs tho world away. W. St. Julien Jorvoy. at the instance of the leading Democrats of Charles ton, consents to be the Democratic candidate for Congress from that dis trict. Charleston was put Into the black district by the present legisla ture, so that her people might be pun ished forantl-Tlllmanlsm. If ability, sound democracy and pluck can win against odds?and they are winning attributes?Jorvey will goto Congross. It begins to bo plain that the com plaint against tho Red Cross is ill i founded. It confined its rellof to tho Son Islands and not to tho mainland. The sufferers on the mainland are few and although the suffering may be acute and the demand pressing South Caro lina Is amply able to meet the case. A few good Samaritans is what is wanted. Governor Tlllman has been invited and accepted an invitation to speak at Statten Island, N. Y., at a temperance convention. He should take with him McClendon, Farley, and Riehbourg. otherwise the evidence will all he hearsay.
