The Attitude of the Now York Horald
Towards the Democratic Party.
-he'.IZeraldt believes that of the
two parties now organized, the dem
ocratio is by far the most fit to be
trusted with control in federal mat.
y. tere. We do not think the demo.
cratio party faultless; but we see
that the republican party remains
under the control- of the most mis
chievous and dangerous class in this
country-the plutocracy, the ' com
bine" of corporations and monopo
lies of all kinds. It is a powerful
tool, obedient to the hands of that
"privileged class" which has grown
up among us since the war, and which
uses the republican organizations on
all occasions to fortify and extend
its privileges and monopolies, and to
resist every attempt at the repeal of
unjust and injurious laws. The
greed and cunning of a moneyed
aristocracy are here, as always in
history, insatiable and boundless.
The increasing discontent of the
masses of the American people be
they mechanics, laborers or farmers
and their cries and efforts for relief
show that they feel the tightening
grip of the oppression; but every at.
tempt.to give them relief is founded
in Congress by the astute republican
lpaders.
The democratic party is at any
rate the party of the people. We
have had frequent occasions to com
plain of its feebleness and of the
lack of force and capacity of some of
its leaders; but it is ranged on the
people's side and against that mo
moyed aristocracy, that privileged
class which more and more auda
ciously sets up its claims among us
to rule and control. The Herald is
not the organ of the party; it is the
organ of the people, and it believes
that for the welfare of the people the
continued ascendancy of the demo
cratic party is beet and necessary.
But to maintain a party in power,
union and harmony of action must
be had. How are these to be se
cured? Certainly not by every lead
Ing man in the organization striking
out a course for himself. The Presi
derit elected by a party under our
system is the natural head of the
party, which caunot depose him from
that place without fatal injury to
itself. To be successful it must have
a head-not a dozen, but one-and
it must stand by and strengthen that
head for the sake of energetic and
successful action, on which its own
future depends. Hence we have
urged the democrats to stand by Mr.
Clev..land.
That policy does not necessarily
imply the renunciation of Mr. Cleve
land. - It is necessary for the con
tinued success of the democratic
party, and that, for the present, the
Herald believes to be the first neces
sity for the welfare of the people of
this country. We say for the present
because, if the democratic leaders
prove themselves feeble, selfish and
incapable of the work of reform,
aeother party will be found to do the
people's work, which the aristocratic
republicans still so successfully re
sist.
It is democratic success which the
Herald desires to advance, because
from that party, andl not from the re
publicans, there is at least a hope of
needed reforms. But democratic
* success becomes impossible if the
O'Donohues are to have their way; if
self seekinug and personal ambitions
are to take the place of loyal devo
tion to party; if the first four years
of power after a quarter of a centui'y
of- humiliation are to ba spent in
wrangles for precedence, in schemes
for the succession and in doing
nothing for the public good.
* We believe the democratic rank
an.dnie are with the Herald when it
urges the party leaders to harmony,
to action and to the support of the
democratic President. WVhy should
they not be? They see in Mr. Cleve
land a man' honest, courageous, un
selfish, loyal and devoted to deom.
cratic principles, doing admirably
well those things which are confined
to him under the constiition, gain
ing respect -and confidence every
where for the party by his adminis
tration of affairs. Tihe democratic
voters throughout tihe land want to
see the party successful, and they
see that their President is doing his
full share to make it so. They stand
by him, -and the more strongly be
cause they do not perceive what
great thing the dlemocrats in Con
gress have achuievedt, except to wran
gje among themnselves.
*When the convention meets next
* year, if any democratic leader shall
prove to have done more than Mr.
* Cleveland to strengthen the party in
*the country, to unite anid increase its
forces, let him be nominated. We
believe Mr. Cleveland will readily
and gladlly give way to such a man
when he Is discovered. There is no
thing In all his acts to show that lhe
desires a renomination. No man
can point to anything he has done or
said which has even the appearance
of soheming for a second term. Ie
desires, we believe, the continued a;
predominance of the democratic d<
party, because he believes, as the hi
Herald believes, that this is neces. ci
sary for the prosperity and content- d
ment of the people. V1
The O'Donobues, in and out of s<
Congress, are a noisy, but, after all,
a feeble folk 'hey are as incapable 11
of leading 6 party to success as the S
bummers of an army would be to
plan a campaign and fight a pitched
battle. They do not like Mr. Cleve
land. But their forefathers did not
like Jefferson or .lackson any better.

ExEcUTIVE DEP~A'RT3rENTr,
OFFIxcE OF CoMi'TrRaOLLERa GENEIr ArL, n
CoLUJnIJA, S. C., D)ec. 27, 1886. ai
During tihe recent session of the A
General Assembly, it was openly s
charged, that at the last period of dl
listing p)rop)erty for taxation, only I
three Auditors in thle State required k
a return of tile cotton held by farm lp
ers and others. on the 1st (lay of I
January. If tils charge is truec, 'w
those Auditors to whom it mpplies c
clearly flailed to carry out tile pr~o- (
visions of the law, which requires I
p)ersonal property of every descrip- c
tion to be returned for taxation. C
There 1s no0 more reason why cotton (J
or othler crops .shlould be omitted bl
from the returns, than that horses, o
cattle, or othler items of property I
should be, and the law dloes not ex. a
empt tile one any more than the fi
other. v
T1hat thlere may be no furtheor mis- g~
understanding of tis matter, Audi v
tors are instructed that it is their a
duty, and they are required to list for ti
taxation, all personal property own~ed
or controlled on tile 1st day of Janu- E
ary, and tis is to be done whlethIer tile
party owning or controlling thle same
owes a debt upon it or not.
As the right of a party to red uce
tile amount of is return, by tile'
amount of is debts, (does not seem i
to be elearly understood, Auditors d
are further instructed, thlat under tile I
hleadl of "Credits" are included all k4
"legal debts, claims or demands" In ni
favor of tile party making tile return, c
whlethler such (demand be payable in (
mquley, labor or othler valuable tiling, U
From such credit, and from nothing c
0180, may be deducted tile legal a
debts, claims or demands standing I
ainst the party. If there arc no 1
3bts* in his favor, the debts against
m cannot be considered, and in no i
ise is permissible to deduct any 1
bt, claim or demand, from the i
ilue of real estate or tangible per. 1
mnal property.
Auditors are referred to Sections i
11, 167, 173 and 220 of General :

Well Said.
If Capt. Tillman, of Edgefield,
.ally has the good of the farmers at
aart and would advance the "farm.
-s' movement," he should leave off
riting for the newspapers for, say
least, six months, unless he should
1d out in the meantime that he
;tually had something to say.
here is one other thing too that he
mould strive to neglect, and that is
is very homely habit of denouncing
irmers, without distinction, as pup
eLs and fools. Following the pur
lit of agriculture, we have many
en of real ability, and it were .re.
arkable indeed if they should be
imnd minus of all natural resent.
ent. It is not strange at all that
)od advice should occasionally come
om an unexpected quarter, and it
im't be said that this is owing alto.
Ather to the cheapness of the com
odity either. But of this we will
At make anly appraisement. As
apt. Tillman may not appreciate it,
e will simply leave him to take it
what he may think it is worth,
nowing as we do, that if he err in
atter, time will reverse his judg.
cut, just as mercilessly as though
a was the hunblest citizen in his
)unty.--Fairiccd New:s and Ilerald,

Mn. Enrron: I had hoped that it
ould not be necessary for me to say
lything more about the manner in

mudlord's lien, and as soon as they
mud that the landlord had a "priority

[r. Hair stated that my note was
rotested by the bank and paid by
use Bros. In my reply to Trial
ustice Hair I said that I supposed
at he obtained his information
om Wise Bros., and this has not
een contradicted. Mr. Wise in his
ird admits that the n")te was not
rotested Ly the bank nor paid by

is told a willful falsehood and I

On Saturday morning our unusu
illy quiet town was thrown into con
iternation by the cry of fire I fire-!

lepot of the C. & G. railroad was on
[ire. It being early ini the morning,
ibout half past five o'clock, tho citi
sens5, white and colored, turned out
Tuickly and vied with each other ini
their efTorts to save the cotton on the
platform, the freight in the dlepot,
and( the furniture of' sup)ervisor
W~ooten who lives just across the rail
roadl near the dlepot. The fire had
gained suchl hleadiway when discov'
u'red, and the difliculty of' forcing the
heavy doors, caused a large portionl
of thme goodis in the dlepot to be coin
sllued. Fortunately the amount of
freight on hand was light; probabuly
not exceedling $500. Ten b)ales of
coltonu and a box car- were burned.
Th'le car wvas loaded( with twenty-one
bales. 11 of' which w"ere savedi, when
the fire protested ng:.inst further en
trance into the ear. All the books,
pampers, etc., belonging to the rail.

Last Thursday Mrs. Wadford, who
had been working in the factory, left
Newberry on the down train, under
the claim that she was going back to
her husband at Augusta, Ca., from
whom she separated six months after
their marriage on account of his .c
cruel treatment to her. Instead of h
going to Augusta she stoppedl at
Prosperity. Mr. J. E. Wilcox, one
of the employees of the factory, quit
his young wife and followed Mrs. a
Wadford to Prosperity, where they le
put up at the hotel as husband and '
wife. From there we are told that di
they went to Charleston. The father
of Mrs. Wilcox, hearing that her u
husband had left, came down on 01
Monday and carried his daughter "
home oil Tuesday. irs. Wilcox was
only seventeen years of age and
married against the wishes of her e
c
father, who is a merchant at G reen- 1o

Death o'11'.m. .1. Foot. at
The death of ilrs. Foot, which oc.
curred on Friday last, wvas not ex. I'
pected, as she had only been con- N
fined to the house for a few days, i
and vias not considered seriously ill c"
until a short, time before her death. '
Mrs. Foot was ai remarkable woman c'
in many respects. She came to New w
herry in 1855, had been married '
thirty-three years, was the mother of te
eight children-all whom are living. w
Three of these are married and have A'
five children living and one dead- si
this being the second death in the al
family since she cane to N ewherr y. ti
Mrs. Foot will be trently inissel. in
There are many who have been the di
recipients of her kindnesses. She C
was noted for her industry, and was
well known in every section of New. vi
berry and the adjoining counties. w
We doubt if there are any who are e
better known, and few as iell. We h
extend to the family our sympat.hy c
in this hour of sore bereavement. ti

that children, like older people, are el

home up to their enjoyment, and iii
gathered them all together aroui( rt
the hearthstone. The clildret of the et
village were all present wit,h the ex G
ception of one or two that were de- p
tamed by sickness, and .it. was the in
brightest, jolliest and prettiest little tr
group that we have seen fori a long tli
time. The hours were spent in chit- in
chat, interspersed with m usic, nerri- el
ment and the mazes of the simpler h
dances, closing with a sumpt,uous I
supper, whose ambrosial sweets would cm
have delighted the fairies. The cliii- a

In 183G, J. N. Nicollet, a trained

icollet perf'ormed his work with as
