C, THURSDAY, J\UNE 7, 1888. THE STATE DEBT. The State debt falling due in July amounts to $400,000. It is cause for congratulation that it will be promptly met at maturity. This has been ae complished by issuing bonds to run for forty years bearing 41 per cent. interest. This debt was provided for by Act of F the last General Assembly. Th. bonds issued under that Act have lready been taken, part of theni in exchange at par, and the balance by sale at and above par. FWhen the matter came before the finance committee of the Senate and the committee on ways and means of the House, it was thought by sonie that the State could not float a bond drawing a less interest than five per cent. Those who held this position were fortified by the views of some of the leading financiers of this and other States. Dr. S. Pope, of Newberry, and Col. Brown, of Anderson, contended for a four per cent. bond, and the matter was finally settled on a basis of 41 per cent. The State thus saved as between a five per cent. and a four and one half per cent. bond, two thousand dollars a year for forty years. The large debt of the State amounting to over six mil lions of dollars, and which falls due in a few years, will in all probability have to be provided for at the next session of the Legislature, or at furtherest by the one next succeeding. It is impor tant that there shall be as great a sav ing of interest as possibie, and that the bonds to be- issued to retire this debt, shall, if possible, pass into the hands of our own people, as the recent issue has done, thus keeping the interest at home instead of paying it out beyond the State. Under the law it was provided that as many of the holders as desired it should be allowed to exchange bonds for the new issue and $88,500 were thus exchanged, leaving $311,500 to be pro vided for by sale. This we learn from a late issue of the Register, and we also learn that bids were received for$341,500, being more than were on hand to be [ sold. The Register gives the following showing the amounts of bids from the different counties: Charleston..................$145,000 Richland..................... 144,600 Orangeburg................... 10,500 Barnwell...................... 7,500 A.nderson.................o...... ,000O Abbeville..................... ,000 Fairfield....................... ,000 Hampton..................... 4,000 $32600 Additional subscriptions in Richland in case of failure of any subscribers to com - ply............................ 15,000 $341,500 With the success attending the sale of the bonds to meet the July debt, we may well hope that the next issue will not be at a higher rate of interest. The saving to the State to place them at 4.i per cent. as between the amount of interest now borne, 6 per cent., will be over ninety thousand dollars per~ year. It would not be a bad idea to keep dowvn extravagant approp)riations and reduce this debt. A NEW PROBLEM. The Abbeville M1edium makes the * mathematical calculation that there are six and one half boys to every professor in the South Carolina College, under the reorganization recently effected. In view of this calculation the Green ville News submits the following prob lem: "If six students and a half of higher education require one professor at a high salary, how many pupils can the average country teacher in the free pub lic schools, paid a dollar a day, be ex pected to wrestle with successfully?" We will not attempt to solve the problem, but remark as a general thing they generally have from 30 to 6.5 pu pils enrolled and only one teacher. It was only the other day that we at tended the closing exercises of one of these country schools where the attend ance had been above sixty and only one teacher. MIore and better common schools, The Herald and News has concluded for, for a long time. That is the great need of this count'y to-day. If we are to have a system of ;?ree conm mon schools in this State and have more monev to spend on education it had best be put on improving these schools. These schools are the onles to reach all the children. male and female. That is the place where our educational system is faulty. We need a good commnon school or academy. with a good teacher at the head of it in every conunuinity. Noth ing can help build up a conununity in every way like a good school.

We thought the convention would have finished its work yesterday and we would have been able to give the name of the second man on the ticket. In this we fail. + The second man will be named to-day. The reports indicate that it will be Thurman. The enthusiasm for Cleveland seems to have becn great and unanimous. His nomilination by acelamnation is but in response to the call that haflS g 1on up from the democrary of the whole coun try for some time. Cleveland and h'lurian w, oulcd make a strong team. The objection to Thur man is his age. Yet MIr. Hendricks, who was on1ly live years younger than Mr. Thurman, did faithful :nd lrood work four years ago. Mr. Thurman is not yet 7.5 years old. It is true Mr. Hendrickswasonly5 wlien nominated. Mr. Cleveland is in his his 5241 year. It is doubtful too whether Mr. Thur man could carry Indiana. It is imupor tant. to have a strong man on the second place. However, whoever liils the second place, the ticket will win. This is no timie for1 discordl within the ranks.

Cleveland and )enocratic victory in November THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. Scenes and Incidents at St. Louis-A Tem porary Organization Effected. CoNVENTION H.t, ST. Louis. June 5.-The Democratic National Conven tion began to gather in the early hours of the morning, although the gavel of Chairman Barnum of the national conmittee did not announce its open ing until noon. The trickling stream of humanity which began to run into the big Exposition building as early as 8 o'clock had grown to a torrent, which urged in and filled the great nave of the hall to overflowing, and long before noon 10,000 human faces gazed upon the high desk reserved for the presiding officer of the convention, as yet empty, but with its gleaming white silver gavel, the gift of the .Nevada delega tion, full of curious interest for the ex pectant multitude. The noble proportions of the hall strike one at once with admiration. It is oblong, relieved upon either side by balconies reaching back 200 feet, above which, stretching entirely around the auditorium, is a broad overhanging gallery. The ample stage reaches from the rear of the chairman's platform fifty feet to the east wall of the hall, and ac commodates 440 of the gathered leaders and fathers of the national Democracy, who thus are enabled to overlook the officers, delegates and spectators. At noon all the delegations had ar rived'at Convention Hall except those fromi New York and MIissouri. The absence of the New York delegation made a large gap in the centre of the space reserved for delegates, and the convention waited with mingled feel ings of curiosity and impatience for the appearance of the Empire State's rep resentatives. It was fifteen minutes before they came into the convention, headed by Ex-Mayor G3race, of New York eity. Conspicuous as it niarched to its place, with the eyes of the con vention fixed upon it, wvas the distin guished figure of Daniiel Dougherty, who was to place Cleveland in nomi nation, amnd lie was cheered. UNFURLING TilE BAND)ANA5. At this momient a Colorado delegate mounted a chair, and unfurling a redl handkerchief placed it upon the banner pole of the delegation. Thlis was the signal for the appearance of hundreds of the Old Roman'is standarid, and in almost an instant the banner poles of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nebraska, West irginia, Florida, Utah, New MIexico, Ohio. New H ampshire, New Jersey, Delaware, Oregon and Nevada were dcoi rat ed with redl handlkerchiefs, and from the gallery, balconies and the nave of the ha!l pIroier red bandanas wvaved all over the auditorium. A cheer burst from a thousand throats in the galleries, which was eaught. up b.y the convention and grew ini volume until the blare of the hand trumnpets and the noise of the bass drum w'as drowned in the greater volume oif the conivention's full-throated voice. A NOTtCEAULE INCID)ENT of the demonstrations oif ap)proval as the hour of the opeing of the conven tioni approached was the flutter of handkerchiefs and waving of fanis by ladlies who filled a double row of lodges arranged along the front of the two galleries, which have been given up almost exclusively to women, wvhcse bright attire and pretty faces lent addi tional attraction to the convention ensemble. Visiting clubs with em blazoned banners came in late, but as each well-known organization was re cognizedl they were greeted with cheers. Thue Tammany Hail braves were among the first to appear, followed closely by the New York County Demiocracy anid the local St. Louis organization. The Randall Club, with its gorgeous black and gold banner and led by "Squire" William McMullen, the hero of seven National conventions, marched in proudly and wer e generally applauded. CALLING THlE CONVENTION TO ORD)ER. Chairman Barnum, who had advanei ed to the high decsk onl the platform, waitedl for the cheers to subside. At 12:3> the vast assemlblage was silenced by' a stroke fronm the gavel of Chairman Barnium, and the D)emo ratic Convention of 1888 was formally in session. The chairman introduced Bishop J. B. G3ranberry, oif St. Louis, who opened the proceedings with pirayer. Hie ren dered devout thanks for the miany benefits which this country had receiv edl from the handls of Providenice, pray ed for the continuance of those bounties and called downi the D)ivine blessing on the President and all t hose in nut hority. The chair then stated that, acting under the authority conferredI on himii by the nationial Demiocratic connu]iittee', he woul present to the convention the names of two' persons selected by thle commiiittee to precside' over and oicer' the temiporaryV 4rgaiat in ot the coni venion Asthe sectary\ read the namie ofS 31 Wite, of C'alif'orniia, as tem' p arr chiairmana, thle conuvent ion greet edi it 'withi cheevrs, as it alsi gre'etedi thle namle ofI F.

He sp)oke with distinctness and couild be h.ear aleoer the hall. When he mentioned the name of President Cleveland the convention arose to its feet, and, with waving hats and flutter ing handkerchiefs, cheered for several seconds. The mention of tariff reform was also cheered, and at the close of his address the speaker was generously applauded. Curiously enough, refer enees in the speech to Tilden failed to arouse any marked enthusiasm, and none of the New York delegation ap plauded the mention of that once inspiring name. REVENt'E REFORM AND ANTI-REFORM. When the name of David Turpie, of Inliana, was called to represent that State upon the coniittee on resolut ions there was a burst of aplplatse, which was, however, eclipsed by the cheers which greeted the selec-tion of Henry \Watterson to the same committee by the State of Kentucky, nor was A. 1'.

Loui, June 5.-A gorgeous parade of fully 31,I00H uniformed D)eno erats in procession was witnessed to night by people in such numbers that they could he estimated onliy by hun dreds of thousands. The proces-ionl moved at an early hour :nd was still iioving at 10.4'). Before the march be gan Olive street, the thoroughfare leading to the Convention hall, was jaiilmed for over a mile, pavement, si(lewalk, gutters and stairways, with such a solid mass of luilan beings as, perhaps, never before gathered in any American cit v. At short intervals over the entire distance great flaes lit up the scr"ne and marked the long vista, a spectacle of surpassing 1 rillianc1y. The street was only cleared suflicintly for the procession by pindinlg a passage through the inob wit h trains of calelt cars. While entlhusiasn was evoked everywhere by the display of Tliurmtan ila idana.s among the inarchers. Th? Tariir 1ssue. [Special to the News and Courier.] ST. Louis, Junle 5.-l'he committee oil resolutions met inl secret session at 5 o'clock this afternoon in the parlors of the national Democratic committee, at the Southern Hotel. The committee was called to order by Edward Cooper, of New York. The names of Henry M. \\ atterson, of Kentucky, and Sen1 ator A. P.,Uorman, of Maryland, were put in nomination for the chairman ship and the result was the election of the former upon the first ballot by a vote of 22 to 20, four members not voting. At the suggestion of Mr. Gor man \Vatterson's nomination was made unanimous and, upon taking the chair, the latter remarked pleasantly that had the committee known how nearly in harmony were the two candidates the election would probably not have been deemed necessary. The following was the vote by States and Territories : Watterson-Alabana, Colorado, Del aware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Utah1-22. Gorman-Arkansas, California, Con necticut, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Arizona, District of Columbia, Wyoming, Idaho-10. The committeemen from Florida, Nevada, M1ontana and Washington Territory were not present or refrained from voting. THE LATEST. 1 A. M.-The situation can be sumim ed up in a few words. The sub-committee on the platformn are in a deadlock over the taritl plank. Mr. W~atterson is urging an unqjualifiedl expression on the tariff qjuestion and Senator Gorman is arguing that a few conservative words are sufficient. With M1r. Watterson arc six membe*rs of the committee while MIr. Gorman is supportedl by the New York, New Jer sev and Connecticut members. Mr. Gjo>rman says that the tariff reformers wanlt to go furt her than the P'resident will approve. WhIile MIr. Watterson, on the other hand, threatens if his plank is not adoplhted to bring the tariff ques tion before the Convention and ask a roll-call hv States. The sub'eoiimmittee is to report to the full conunittee at 9 A. 31., if the plat formu is completed. Thlis does not seem likely now, and the struggle may be prolonged all day. The tariff reformers, however, are certain of ultimate vic tory, as they represent nine-tenths of the convention. THlE SECU$I D1DISTRICT. A Mov-ement on Foo)t to Cnseat 3Mr. Tinlman.

Henderson to make the race for years, but he has aiwavs said lie was not ready. HeI was not able to pull away from a big law practice, but now he has a valuable and capable partner in a young brother, andl feels that hIe can miake some personal sacrifice at thIe call of hlis friends. M1r. Henderson is very p)opular with the people, and his gifts entitle him to due consideration. It is regretted thlat MIr. Aldrich should conmc out at the same time, for it is very desirable that the opp)osition to Con gressmnan Tilhuan should be conceni trated. MIr. Aldrich is highly esteemed, and is a gentleman of tine parts, bmut the adnmirers of M1r. Henderson feel that he should have the field. As regards MIr. Tillmian thle opinion is freely explressedl that he can be easily beaten. Hie certainly does not represent the D)emocratic party in Carolina or elsewvhere and his constituents across the river are feeling rather bitter in the thought that their representative had no0 promninence in 'Washington until he began to give comfort to the Republi can part'y.
