WEI1ESY iURCK 8, 189. XIMMkRt H. AUTL14 EDITOIL ZLBERT H. AULI4 WAJ. HOTSEA T Propne NEWBERBY. S. C, nR ENLDET CLEVELAD. Grover Cleveland was inaugurated President oa last Saturday. The weath er was anything but favorable, yet there was one of the largest crowds present in the history of inaugurations. It was a notable event. For the first time in thirty years the majority party has become the minori ty. All branches of the national govern ment are now in the hands of the Democracy. The responsibility is great and many grave issues and problems -,areawaiting solution. The financial system and the tariff are two very important and far-reach ng problems for the new administra tion to deal with. - Mr. Cleveldnd realizes the situation and we believe will measure up to the expectations of him by the people in calling him a second tiie to the helm of'State. He has selected as members o his wn official family men- who.are. In syimpathy with him, and meu of ability and.great integrity of character. His inaugural address is manly and sftraight-forward. He adheres to the octrines formerly held by him, one of hih is that "public expenditures abould -be limited by publi' necessity," abd he alsojavors the practice of civil service reform and the appointment of good and competent men to office Oather than making the appointments serve as a reward of partizan activity oriservice. He states his position clearly on the arff question. The people have a right to expect and do exyect something to be done by the Democracy in the next four years for th6good of the country in, the matter -of legislation. The Democracy is now on trial. The mathematical division of the .patronage or any other sort of division of it is not going to give us political 'peace. We *t see good, conserva - t4Tanembioui nen put in the Fed eralpositionsin South Coiolina. If the 'people would do that in the State ad relegate to the rear the bit tartisans and extremistu we would soon have peace in South Carolin%. Se or Irb's jan for distributing the patronage in South- Carolina 'is ather novel. He should not encourage loattery. We are glad Senator Butler and Congressmen Brawley apd -Sheli ~ ~ didnot, endforse any such scheme. Z 'Who ever heafd of drawing out of a " ebt to settle Ithe question of appoint meats for offce.

Mr. Latimer was elected to Congress ~. from the third South Carolina District. -0%easi)moerait He has 'gone on to gWsingtn to look over the field and ,tbgtacquainted with-be told and the Smew members. ~He seems.to fall in at ance with - the Third party members and has quickly 'made friends with -~ JerryS,impson. He also seems to be proud of the fact, that he was the. au Sthor of the. famous'anti-Cleveland reso --lutions passedby our May Convention. The correspondent of the Augusta 'Chronicle reports the following conver from Kansasson their first meeting: Why"isthis Simpson-Jerry Simpson -of Kansas?" asked the astonished Alli - nceman, as he gazed admiringly upon ~,Jerry's -gold rimmed spectacles and -gave him the grip of the "noble order," whch the.other acknowledged with a '- "Yes, it's me," said Jerry; "but I . didn't guite-eatch your name." - "Latiber-A. C. Latimer,,of South ,,a Carolins,t'.was the modest. reply, as a - - ish played about the -new member's sunburnt cheek's. "Why, you ain't the man who wrote --those; famous resolutions denouncing Cleveland, are you?" inquired tbe rep resentative from bleeding Kansas. -"That's right." They both- winked, slapped each --other on the shoulder and laughed. Thus was sealed a friendship, the ex tent of'which only time-can disclose. -It wouWd seem from this that our Congressman expects to feel more 'at ease and to be more at home among the Third party members than among the Democrats. We hope, however, he ~ will not go over body and soul to the Third party as did Tom Watson. The sale of the C. K. & W. R. Rt. has been postponed. We understand that the reason assigned in the petition is that with the present attitude of the State administration toward such prop erty, it was not tLhought that that road could find a purchaser at anything near what it was worth. If true' it is bad for South Carolina. - -Ex-President Harrison has been elected a professor in the Leland Stan ford University of California. It is said that he is to get a salary of $5,000 a S month. If true it beats being presi dent. Grover Cleveland, "the vassal of Wall Street," is just now the biggest man in the country. Hundreds of plitical toads who were wont to wag teir vid!e tongues against him, are now going into ecstacies over him, cringing at his feet and whining for office or recognition or both.-Johnston Mon itor. There is no telling what 'men will do to get office. It is astonishing just now to observe the accession to thie ranks of the "orig inal" Cleveland m~en. They are thick as grasshoppers in Georgia. A dispatch to the Augusta Chronicle, from Wash -in n says that the man who opposed Cteveland's nomination can no longer be found.--Johnston Monitor. It seems to be human nature to want to go with the c:rowd. People like to go with the current and want to be on the side that su'cceeds. But then in this case there is policy in the mad ness. They want office. This country as peopled mostly by politicians and offeseekers. ABOUT ASSISTANT COUNSEL. The editor of The Herald and News remembers to have been present at the campaign meeting at Greenville at the opening of the campaign in 1890 and to have heard the first speech of Gov. Till man in that famous campaign. We re member distinctly what a great fuss he made over former administrations having spent the State's m&ney in pay ing lawyers who had been employed to assist in the conduct of certain liti gation, when there was.a paid Attorney General and seven solicitors paid by the State, and intimated that it.was a waste of the State's money and charged it up to former administrations as ex travagance. During his administra tion there has been more litigation than in Any administration, at least, for the past-sixteen years, and in every one of these numerous causes there has been additional counsel employed. We do not say that it was not necessary, but judged by Gov. Tillman's own standard it would seem that he has been extravagant even beyond any of his predecessors. There has been a lawsuit with the Coosaw, the Agricultural Hall case, the railroad cases and varioas other cases, and in all of them assistant counsel has been employed, and in the railroad cases the Governor has gone out of the State for his law yers and employed J. Randolph Tucker and J., J. Darlington. These are high-priced lawyers and will have to be paid by the State and the people will have to be taxed to meet all these bills. This we presume is reform and if the people who have the bills to pay are satisfied we shall not interpose any ob jection, but it is well occasionally to re fresh our memories and compare per formance with promise. THE WEEKLIES AND THE DAILIES. The News and Courier's innovation in this State of putting its exchange list on what it terms a business basis has created some considerable discus sion. It proposes to cut off all the week lies and charge them the difference be tween their price and the price of the daily News and Courier. The same to be taken in advertising. So far as The Herald and News is concerned it makes little difference to us, because we have always been willing to extend to the dailies the courtesy of putting an ad vertisement of the daily in. our col umes free of charge, but we think the News and Courier undervalues the im portance of the weekly press. Of course the weeklies could manage to get -along without the News and Courier and get all the news from the State, the Register, the Greenville News and other, dailies which seem to be .willing to exchange with them. The Greenville News speaking of this scheme of the News and Courier pays the following tribute to the 'weekly press: It is announced that the News and Courier, will hereafter refuse to ex change for weekly newspapers unless the difference in sub.scripton price is paid in cash or advertising. -It istrue that~ the. ari'angements for local .cor respondence now possible make the weekly newspapers almost valueless for news purposes. They are 'valuable, however, as guides for shaping the policy and regulating the editorial tone of the daily newspapers. They are close to the people and express what the pepeaethinking and saying. We readtheneigboroodcorrespondence of our weekly exchanges with far more interest than the news columns of the New York dailies.- They tell us the thoughts and 'feelings at the cross roads, the country store pinaza and the springs-'at the churches, and how to meet and deal with all the varying inerests and sentiments among the voters. The Greenville News, if it had to choose, would rather go with outr the New York and Chicago news papers than the South Caroliaa week Mr cleveland in his inaugural ad dress says that one of the dangers that confronts this nation to-day is "the prevalence of a popular disposition to expect from the operation of the gov ernment especial and direct individual advantages." Th&ie can be no doubt of the truth of these words. -There is too great a disposition to look to the government for individual aid in private affairs. That has been one trouble in South Carolina. As to to the Federal appointments in South Carolina, The Herald and News has not had anything to-say or any ad vice to offer. There are several rea ens for this position. In :the first place we do not know that Mr. Cleve land wants any advice on the subject, for we believe ,that so far as he is con cerned he will do as he. pleases and no one can foretell what that will be. We do not believe he will take any hand in factional fights in any of the States, but will endeavor to select the best men for the positions to be filled. South Carolina, however, occupies a peculiar position towards Mr. Cleve land. Or rather the majority faction. It went so far as to make the fight on him a personal one and to pass denun iatory and abusive resolutions which have become famous. Mr. Cleveland is no doubt aware of this fact. W hether he will let it influence his action or not we cannot say. We do not see how any mathematical division of the offices can be made. If such a division could be made and would settle the factional bitterness and -strife iu this State we would most heartily favor it, but we do not believe it would have that effect. In~ fact our representatives in Washington have failed to reach any such conclusion and there will be a general scramble for position. There are good men in both factions, and it would be a good scheme if Mr. Cleveland could, in making his ap pointments, hit upon some of the con servative men of each side, without any effort at a mathematical division. We do not want extreme partisans in office-men who are controlled and dominated by prejudice. We have had too much of that sort of thing already for South Carolina's good. Senator Irby and those who are try ing to trade and traffic in the matter of the disposition of the patronage should read President Cleveland's inaugural address. The railroad cases were heard in Washington Monday. The Supreme Court probably decided yesterday whether or not it would grant the writ of habeas corpus. ~' The Register and Southern Christian Advocate have had a great war of words over the unfortunate Attaway affair. The Advocate has devoted two full issues of its paper to attacks upon the Register. The Register, no doubt, made a mistake in its comments on the Attaway letter by reproaching the Methodists generally. But he Regis ter has acknowledged its error and humbly apologized, and we do not see what more could be desired or expected. We think the Advocate has carried the matter most too far. There can be no good to any one from such bandying of words. In speaking of a division of the pat ronage the Register says, referring to Tillmanites: "They voted for Cleve land and he cannot ignore them." There was a lot of people in this State who voted for Tillman after he was nominated just as the Tillman people voted for Cleveland and if Mr. Tillman ever gave one of them even the most insignificant office we have not heard of it. If Mr. Cleveland follows the same rule adopted by Mr. Tillman he will utterly and entirely ignore those who opposed and abused him before he was nominated. But it seems that Mr. Tillman and his followers do not want to be treated as they treat other people. They do not believe in the golden rule. Ex-President Harrison says all of President Cleveland's Cabinet except one are Presbyterians. In our efforts to adjust differences of opinion we should be free from intoler ance or passion, and our judgment should be unmoved by alluring phrases and- unvexed by selfish interests Cleveland's Inaugural. These are true words, and the people in South Carolina might learn a lesson. THE RAILROAD CAsES. Petitions for Habeas Corpus Presented to the Federal Supreme Court. [Special'to The State. I WASHINGTON, March 6.-The great railroad war was recommenced this morning in the United States Supreme Court. The courtroom was jammed with visitors. The full bench was pre sent, save Chief Justice Fuller, Justice Field presiding. Governor Tillman, with Senator Irby, John Gary Evans, Dr. Pope and Cole L. Blease, sat with in the bar, on the right side, to sewit well done. J. C..femphill and a few other South Carolinians were present. Attorney General. Townsend, Mr. Tucker and Ira Jones sat immediately in front of the Chief Justice. Super intendent "Bunch" McBee was in the room. It was 2 o'clock before the matter was reached. The proceeding was en tirely ex parte. Attorney General Townsend rose and presented the appli cation for habeas corpus, reading the several applications as already pub lished. Justices Gray and Field asked some questions about the nature of the, case, which were answered by Mr. Tucker, and the court took the matter under advisement. The decision is ex peted to be rendered to-morrow morn ing, such being ithe custom of the court. If the court should refuse to grant the writ, then the habeas corpus method is ended, and the State will have to- wait for the hearing of tbe original cases on their merits. If it grants it. It will likely lssue an order instructing the marshals to release the sheriffs on their own recognizance, to appear here when the writ is returnable, about twenty days hence. The counsel do not seem to be confi dent. A long conference between Gov ernor Tillman and the three attorneys was held at the Nationial Hotel this afterneon. -'E. J. W. CLEVELAND'5 INAUGURATION. Governor Tiliman and South Carolina in the Grand Parade. "[Spectal to The State.1 WASHINGTON, March 4.-The South Carolinians who came to Washington had the opportunity to-day of witness ing the greatest parade and celebration in American history. The inaugura tion, despite the fact that snow fell in large fiakes all the afternoon, changing to a bitter freeze, was a gorgeone suc cess, and the most graphic description fails to do justice to it. There were be tween 50,000 and 60,000 men in line, soldiers and civilians, and South Caro lina found but a small place In the pic ture, but the Columbia -militiamen de serves the greatest credit for braving the bitter weather, for they were about the only ones who did not have any overcoats to protect them. Our contingent occupied a position in the parade about one-third distant from the bead. Governor Tiliman rode at the head of his staff. He wore a blue rubber cape coat, and his slouch at was well pulled down over his eyes. As he passed the press stand be was .applauded, and acknowledged the compliment. He raised his slouch hat high in the air ashe passed President Cleveland, and the latter ack nowledged the salute. The bands at the head of all the Southern troops struck up "Dixie" as they neared the reviewing stand in front of the White House, and every time the stirring notes were heard the crowd would loudly ch'eer. The South Carolina contingent was the same as 'already published. The Vanderbilt Association, of Charleston. being assigned to a tail-end place in the prcession, wisely refrained from participating. The most remarkable feature of .the day's exercises was that President Cleveland stood at the reviewing stand from 2 o'closk till nearly 8, in the bitter weather, and did not fail to raise his hat to every organization that passed. At the inauguration, Governor Till man stood at the right of Mr. Cleve land, about thirty feet distant, wearing his rubber coat, having his hat pulled down close and nis ears wrapped around with a bandkerchief. The other South Carolinians were not far from him. IN THE INA UGUBAL PAGEANT. [By Southern Press.) WASHINGToN, March 4.-Governor Benjamin R. Tillman of South Caroli na, sitting upright as an Indian, led the picturesque Governor's Guards, of Columbia, whose organization has a record extending back to the Mexican THE GRAND REVIEW. The picturesque figure of Governor Tilman, of South Carolina, with broad brimmed slouch hat on his head, mounted on a handsome bay, came in for his share of the enthusiastic feel ing that had begun to animate the crowd. CHEERS FOR GOVERNOR TILLMAN. [Special to The State.] WASHINGTON, March 4.-Governor Tillman said to'-ay that he would see that the Guards are furnished with military overcoats as soon as they re turn home. The boys hope he will not forget his promise. Governor Tillman received tremendous applause through out the line of march, and several times he had to lift his hat and bow in ac knowledgement of the cheers he had received. A South Carolina lady in Washington sent the Governor a hand some palmetto wreath, which he turned over to the Governors Guard's by whom it was carried in the parade, on PENANCE OF T.LMANTES. They Call on the President and Meekly Swallow their Dish of Crow. [Special to The State.] WASEINGTOS, Marcih6.-Now that the in auguration is over, the South Carolina poli ticians are again on the move, and things are pretty lively around Tillmanite headquar ters. There were a great many occurrences of exceeding interest to South Carolinians here IM. That taking precedence is the fact that - v. Tillman and the Alliance Congress men called on President Cleveland and Vice President Stevenson this afternoon about 4 o'clock. The party consisted of Senator Irby, Governor Tillman and Congressmen Talbert, Latimer, McLaurin and Strait. They first called at the White House and were all intrd duced to President Cleveland. Some pleas ant social conversation was indulged in. Not a word of politics was uttered. but Governor Thiman and Senator Irby took their Cleve land crow in great shape, and gently rubbed the President's back. It made me think of last summer-and the difference. After leaving the White House, the party drove to the Ebbitt House, where they were received by Vice Presdent Stevenson. The conversation was along the same lines here also; but, in addition to being received by Mr. Stevenson, Mrs. Stevenson came in and the party was also introduced to her. They, all expressed themselves as being exceedingly well pleased with the results of their meet ings. The other South Carolinians here smiled when they heard of the visit. momNGnEsSMAN TALBERT's AMBrrioN. There is a prospective three-cornered fight for Senatorial honors or the Governorship In South Carolina'18 months hence. Congress man Talbert is freely mentioned for both these places here. When I asked him about it to-day, he said: "I. am very well satisfied with the honors conferred on me. and I am trying todo my duty to the whole people. It will be very natural for me to stand for re election. As to these rumorsI am notrespon sible for them. I am not gr-edy; still, at the same time. I neverlike to make rash promises. I can't tell what a day will bring forth. I am on the people's platform, and am opposed to rings oSul ds. Iwill say this: Xo man or set of men can dictate to me any longer than I think they are right. I propose in the future to think and act for myself." Congressman Talbert, in speaking about the patronage matter to-day, expressed him self as opposed to Irby's views, and said he hoped a "harmonious settlement of the mat ter would yet be arrived at." THAT "SPOILS" CONFERENCE. The "Reform" Senator Talks About the Federal Patronage. [Special to The State.] WASHINGTON, March 4.-The Fed eral patronage matter continues to be theall-absorbing topic among the South Carolina politicians, and the Tillman forces are making it the object of many conferences in Senator Irby's quarters. To-night I obtained from Senator Irby a statement in regard to the matter. I give his own words. He says: "I have been sincere in all my declarations as to a perfectly equitable division of the btate patronage. I submitted the pro position to the delegation with the hope that it would have been unani mously adopted, and thereby relieve the President, as well as the delegation, of any further embarrassment. The very face of my proposition shows that I meant to give an equitable division. I offered to place the five State positions in a hat and give Gen. Butler the first draw. I also pros that the Con gressmen should have the absolute con trol of their own district patronage. This is the custom prevailing with all the delegations in Congress, as I have been informed. I have been told by members of- Congress that where the delegation unites there is never any trouble about having its wishes granted. Notwithstanding Gen. Butler and Con gressmen Shell and Brawley refused to enter into any scheme by which we may harmonize, I yet believe that they will see the necessity of it. The Refor mers, or those who sustained my pro position, have always been ready to divide this patronage in a way that would harmonize and consequently I am more than anxious, for the party's good,-to meet the minority more than half way. I also feel satisfied that I will be able to take care of myself if it ls decided to engage In an undignified scramble for these positions. It never was intended by me, in calling the delegation to meet, that President Cleveland would take It to be dictation on our part; because the Interview be tween us in New York makes me be lieve that he would 'cheerfully endorse any scheme that would bring the two factions together. As to who will get these various offices, no one knows, and all these claims of cindidates amounts to nothing." Senator Irby -will be here about a month longer. E. 3. W. Liquor lien Lose Heart.

I. Watere Georgetown, D. C. "I have often seen statements from people benefited by Hood's Sarsaparila and I feel that I am net doing justice unless my tes timony Is added. I have been suffering with sick vomiting spells for three or four years, with giddiness, most of the time almost per fetly prostrated. Ihad no appetite, and suf fered also with neuralgia in my head and eyes. I was treated for two years by the best physi clans, but fomnd no rellef.

ROCHESTE, March 1.-Bishop Vin cent of the Methodist Episcopal Church has handed down a decision in the case of Frank W. Palmeter and William C. Briggs, druggists, . of Jamestown, Chautauqua County,who were charged with violating the discipline of the Church in doing business under a store keeper's license. The Bishop finds that the accused have not violated the rules of the Church. He holds that as the Church recognizes the propriety, under certain conditions, of the sacra mental and medicinal use of wine and other alcoholic liquors, it would be un reasonable to refuse to a Christian drug gist the right to conduct a legitimate business, so held by State and Church. He says that the fact that the State has enacted license laws, liable to abuse by unprincipled men, is not a sufficient reason for refusing a Christian the right to conduct a legitimate business. Judicial Slate Arrangvd. [Special to The State.] WASHINGTON, March 6.-I hear the Tillman leaders have arranged a slate of the State judgships to be be carried out by the next Legislature. It is as follows: Col. Watts to succeed Judge Wallace; W. C. Benet to succeed Judge IzIar; D. A. Townsend to succeed Judge Hudson; either Ira B. Jones or Ernest Gary to succeed Justice McGowan on the Supreme bench, and Judge Wither spoon to succeed himself. E. J. W.
