. Epistle, General.
on of tho hour is a letter
oui Washington by Senator
.11. Tho Senator directed it, af
rcading, to bo glvon to tho public,
?bat all might enjoy tho wholesome
contents. Oov. Ellorbo saw lit to ex
pose it to a fow frloads only, and loav
ing it to Benjamin to give it dolTuslon.
ilt wus BolQsh in our Govornor, for
Senator Tillmau is always stout and
waspish and peppery in his pronounce
ments and his largo constituency wore
ontitlod to have tho stimulus as in
tondod. Now they say, tho Senator
will soften down certain salient para
graphs and tho expurgated edition will
reach us. It is said to touch tho dis
pensary scandals and to justify tho
handing around tho "sample" casos to
the politicians nnd hungry official*, it
also soarrides Judge Slmonton and
hits with baro knuckles tho Agricultu
ral "Haul" poople. It is suggosted
that Gov. BUerbe withheld the tender
oplstle as it might effect tho Vander
cock fruit now in tho hands of .Judge
Slmonton. But it might as well bo un
derstood that that Judge will follow
his convictions and sworvo to tho right
nor the loft and will face pitchforks Oi
lightning. Govornor Ellorbo is alto- I
gethor blamablo for not giving us Till
man in his true unadulterated garb. It'
is said further that the Senator admits
in his lottor that ho handled soin? of
the "samples" as legitimate porquisl
^ow, wo aro not making any fuss

^-,....i*n, a swell broker from up in
New York was brought to Washing
ton borne time ago to be examined bc
foro a committee of our Great Sonato
and Oeing oio.?o in witb ^o or" Aba big
trusts declined to answer certain tight
questions. IIo was more civil, how
ever, than Jim Fisk, of "Woodbino
twineth" celebrity on a llko' occssion.
He was howover sentenced to thirty
days imprisonment in a Washington
jail for his contumacy. But tho other
day, he camo down from his plutc
oratio companionship to take his
medicine. Ho is confined in cham
bers at tho Washington tombs. Ho
was allowed two chambers in the es
tablishment?ono as a recopMon a
partment for tho distinguished guests
who caU to make tholr respects. Ho
brought with him Turkish carpets and
rugB, old mahogany furniture, with
hangings from old Damascus, objects of
virtu, raro and curious bric-a-brac,
rich volumes that treat of anclont and
modern trusts, wines and liquors, deli
cate liqueurs, Arabian scenes and per
fumes?that would even put to tho
blush tho notorious Heckrogo Trunk
contents that all know so well about.
Sonators from tho West clamor to bo
rocolvod by the victim, and their eyes
aro popping out of their heads at tho
gaudy prison house show. It doos not
appear that Senator Tillman has called
us yet. It would Boom that ('egress
has failed to provldo a chain gang at
Washington for contumacious wit
nesses.
There is a general crusade being
preachod against the state. Dispensary.
Larry Gantt, (if any body knows that
Importation) seems to have tho role of
Petor, tho Hermit. THE ADVERTISER,
as a truo Domocrat, and time out-of
mind antagonist of all monopolios, in
cluding State monopolios, despairs of
competing with those latter day saints
and new converts to sound principles
of govornmont. Evidently wo have
much to loarn. Tho old way of man
aging a State, so as to bring It up to
something llko what numbors aro de
lighted to call tho "Grand Old State
of South Carolina," is clearly out of
fashion. "Parker's Haul" is boyond
question the inspiration of tho hour
I
By way of digression and to leave
our "moral institution" for a moment.
The news from Cuba intorests Wash
ington. McKinley pricks up his oars,
oups his hand on his right ear, and
listens. Morgan, of Alabama, is en
couraged. It will bo a nico sequel to
Cleveland's Monroe jingoism if wo
should get a war with Spain, seize the
sugar Island, and turn it ovor to the
sugar trust. These aro times whon
officials go on tho mako and it would
be "up to date," for tho wholo Wash
ington contingent to go over to bo
sweet a combination.
In tho Vander-cock oaso hoard last
rook by Judgo Slmonton, ho resorvod
his decision und it is announced will
carefully consider the points involved.
The country will not have to watt
long for a decision. Judgo Simonton Is
one of those Judges whoso head does
not woolgather and is never troubled
with Dispensary fumes. Noithor
is the man glvon to any kind of vapor
ing.
Why take Johnson's
Chill a Fever Tonic?
Because it cures the
\ost stubborn case
Death of U. S. Senator Earlo .
The doath of Senator Josoph EL
Earlo, whieh occurred at his homo,
Groonvillo, on Thursday last, is a
grave calamity to the State of South
Garoltna and the wholo country. Sena
tor Earlo had exceptional qualifica
tions for a public servant?laborious,
conseloi/'ous, woll Informed, honest,
patriotic, anu broad and conservative
In charactor. To some extent his
election was fortuitous but groatly for
tunate for tho Stato, and circum
stances aro such at this juncture as to
procludo all hope of a successor who
shall stand in his attitude as tho repre
sentative of all lntcrosts and olo
monts In the State. Tho vacancy will
ho filled by Govornor Ellorbo tem
porarily, tho appo'ntee holding until
tho mooting of tho Legislature In Jan*
uary next, which will oleet a successor
to fill out the term. It Is mere specu
lation, but there are Congressmen
Wilson, McLaurin, Tnlbort and Stokos,
ex-Senator Watson, of Edgoliold, Sena
tor Morris, of Anderson, who suggost
themselves at this writing as likely to
command tho consideration of his Ex
cellency. In this omorgoncy, we feel
assured that tho wholo Stato views
tho death of Senator Earlo as closing
what promised an honorable and use
ful career for tho poople of South
Carolina.
*
It ('nines.
Senator Tlllmau's letter to Gov. El
lorbo appeared in the Sunday papers.
It confesses that he, whilo managing
tho Dispensary, appropriated tho sam
ples for himself and hangors-on . Ho
instances ox-Gov. Evans as a distin
guished examplar in like easo. This
will probably bo regarded by Evans as
a '"work of suporerogation" and to be
left for Evans. Tho letter is frank at
least but proves that there was millions
in "samples." Vory frank indeed, and
has tho ring of?"if this bo treason,
make tho met of it." The rost of the
lotter Is dovoted to a defense of Till
man's agoncy In tho Agricultural Wa- |
ter-llaul mattor and undertakes to
show how tho Stete having lost tho
l.aul caso has not lost the Haul. It is
"bravo lion" still, a dead gamo sport
and ell round hard fightor. Blessed is
tho man who never finds out when he
is cornered. The old rule was novcr
to holler "nutT" till the other follow
was about to grind sand in your oyes.
Ono of Two Things To Do.
McLaurin, Wilson, Norris, Watson,
W. I). Bvano and fifty others aro dis
cussed in connection with tho Senate
vacancy. Gov. Ellorbe may appoint an
ambitious man, who would struggle
for tho olcction to succeed himself.?
Or, ho may appoint a dummy?with
pood lungs to shout "aye" and "no."
Excuso tho apparent paradox. Tho
woods arc full of dummies. We favor
l dummy?and a llyo primary this fall
lor the succession. Tho Govornor will
probably appoint in a week. Many
will bo struck dumb, whoever gots tho
pie. It is ^n.'gely pie.
*
? ?
Thero Is some discussion among our
contemporaries as to who aro competent
to Investigate tho affairs and officials
of our "moral institution" at Colum
bia. Tho story goes of a Bnlt brought
by a guano agont to reoovor a guano
dobt. Tho verdict was for tho Defen
dant. Afcor tho trial it was found that
every man on the Jury and tho Trial
Justice owed that same agont for
guano.
*
Ono of tho boautiful things about
tho Stato Dlsponsary at Columbia, is
tho "dlsponsing" of "samples" by the
high officials to their many congenial
friends. Souvenirs of tho kind to tako
home for sickness, snakebite and other
omergoncies, aro raroly underrated by
tho fortunate recipients.
*?*
Chaos.
Our Congress on tho Cuban question
and our little Stato on tho liquor pro
blom.
It looks liko McLaurin.
When Ttaby was sick, wo gavo hor CostorlA.
When sho was a Child, sho cried for Castorta,
When Bho became Miss, she clung to Ciwtoria.
When sho bad Children, sho Kavothoiu Castorta.
