un ( E'a3.1.K il .l WEDIEDILAPRIL 12.1893. ELBERT H. AULL, EDITOr. ELBERT H. AULL, P WM. P. HOUSEAL, Proprietors. NEWBERRY, S. C, A VERY SIMPLE MATTER. A great deal of unnecessary ammu ni'ion has been wasted in the discuss ions in Washington over the democracy of our three distinguished alliance con gressmen, It is a very simple matter and may t-e very briefly stated. Whether the answer can be as easily stated and correctly or not is another question. The matter stands about like this: Messrs. Latimer, Strait and McLaurin stand upon, idvocate, be lieve in and endorse the Ocala de mands, which are th, same as those adopted at St. Louis and later incor porated in the platform adopted at Omaha and made the platform of the Third party. These demands are op posed to and in conflict with the plat form of the National Democracy. There is, we prcsume, no question about these facts. Now the only question to be determined is, whether a man who stands on, endorses and advocates the platform of the Third party, yet says he is a member of the Democratic party-is he a Democrat or a Third partyite? Can a man be a Democrat and at the same time hold to the prin ciples of the Third party, which are not the same as the Democracy? This is all there is in it, and if these questions are answered, the proper posi tion of these men will be easily ascer tained. The Herald and News cannot w. reconcile the position of a man who says he is a Democrat and at the same holds to the principles of the Third party. It should be a matter of sincere re gret to, all citizens of Newberry, who feel an honorable pride in her past record and the services of her distin guished sons, that so little interest was manifested in the effort to get up a cen tennial celebration in honor of the birth of Judge O'Neall. The State never had a more dtvoted son, and Newberry never produced a more illus trious citizen. Some public celebration of this centennial would have taught some wholesome lessons that would have been productive of good at this time. The failure to get up this celebration will not prevent the citizen from buy ing a copy of the "Annals" and thus informing himself on the important events in the hisLory :of his county. But this celebration should have been held. If it could not be m-tde ready by the tenth, as it seemed it could not, * it could have been held on some other date just as appropriately. Some -things are taken for granted and some are not; circumstances do * alter cases. ~-..----The editor of the A bbeville Medium has returned from Washington, and now proposes to give his readers some politics. Ho has started out by talking -about the "oligarchy" and that sort of stuff: Surely he has forgotten that this is not a campaign year. Why not talk about farming or something of that kind? It would be more profit able. If our Senators and Representatives are to dictate to the President and the other officers, whose duty it is to ap p.oint postmasters and others, why not change the law and take the power of filling these places out of the hands of the President and place it in the hands of the Representatives, and be done with it. They have no right, as matter of right, to say who shall be appointed. If the President wants any advice and calls on them, or any one else, why then they can recommend. * Or they can offer their recommenda tions and let the President accept them or not, just as he likes, which he will be very likely to do anyway. There is no need of any great amount of fire works about the matter anyway There is no need for any one to get mad. The lawyers have advised the liquor dealers to obey the new dispensary law when it goes into effect and to make up a test case and let it be heard in the courts. This, it seems to us, is good advice. The matter can then be tested without so much trouble. If it stand the test let it be operated, and if the people want it and are pleased with it, let them have it. The State on Monday published in 'full the proceedings before Postmaster Gener al Bissell, when our Congressmen asked that they be permitted to estab lish and prove their democracy. It is too bad that our Congressmen have to take this method to establish their democray. Mr. Bissell made a most excellent judge. No one c'an tell from the pro ceedings what his conclusion of the whole matter is. Postmaster General Bissell says ther~e has been no blacklisting in his depart ment of any of our Congressmen. All this fuss that has b'een made over this matter is very disgusting and we regret that our Congressmen feit it necessary to go before the Postmaster General to substantiate and vindicate their De mocracy. They must not have felt ex actly certain in their own minds of their Democracy. It is certainly a humiliating spectacle, but they brough t the humiliation on themselves. But then possibly it will help to keep up division and strife down here and in that they have a hope of perpet uating their rule of the people. * The Populists seem to be losing -ground in Kansas. The returns from recent elections there indicate a return to the Republican party. Mrs. Lease is not near so strong as she was during the last campaign. If our Congressmen- believe in the principles of the Third party and were elected on that platform, why don't they have the manhood to come out a.nd sae so. : GEN. J. H. EARLE. The Suniter Southron devotes con siderable space in its last issue to the political record of Gen. J. H. Earle, and defends it up to the time of his leaving Sumter, but intimates that it has been inconsistent since that time. It is none of our business to defend Gen. Earle, and if it was, he is amply able to take care of himself and does not need defense at our hands, but we think that Gen. Earle has been mis understood, to say the least. He has never said or done anything that we have seen to indicate that he has changed front from where he stood in the campaign ot 1890. He made a good and dignified fight in that cam paign and we all remember with what i results. Many more besides Gen. Earle felt thit the fight of last year was a useless one, and would only tend to widen the breach. They were by no means in favor-of Gov. Tillman or his methods of campaign. All persons who are not blinded by prejudice can see some good in the acts of Gov. Till man, and to give him credit for these, certainly could do no harm, but would show a desire on the part of the oppo sition to be fair. That, as we remem ber it, is about what Gen. Earle said, and is the extent of his inconsistency. The Herald and News is by no means a Tillmanite paper, but we believed last year that the March convention of last year was a mistake, and so said, and we have seen nothing in the events following to cause us to change our opinion then expressed, although when Gov. Sheppard entered the race we gave him what support was in our power. We have said this much in justice to Gen. Earle, for he is a man for whose ability we have great admiration. It is said that marriage is going out of fashion and in this country divorces are on the increase. In the United States more divorces are granted than any country on the globe, except Japan. Especially is this the case in the cities. Out of every 2,000 marriages in this country there are now eighty-eight di vorces, and the rate is rapidly increas ing. Columbia has at last been aroused on the subject. of securing the location of the Woman's College in that city. We wanted to see Columbia get this college after we failed to arouse the people of Newberry even to think about it, but when she failed to come in with the others we doubt if the board ought now to consider her bid at all. It was reported that Senator Irby said he did not want to have peace in South Carolina, and then he denies it. He first wanted an equitable division of the patronage and then he sent recom mendations for appointment from among his own side save Gen. Earle. Well, things are comewhat mixed and we doubt if Senator Irby knows just exactly where he is "at." Hon. George John.stone put some' very pointed and timely questions to Congressman Latimer and Mr. Lati mer answereth not. J. Randolph Tucker only charged for his speech in the railroad cases the modest sum of $2,000. The latest from Washington is that t Senator Irby says he has and will get I all he wants. That is to say of offices, for that seems to be the leading idea of( our statesmen in these times. The State Board of Examiners have decided not to adopt text books for the public schooll until August 15. Then3 they may adopt for a period of ten years. A negro of Brooklyn has been awarde<d $800 damages against the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail-1 road because the conductor made her ride in the car provided for persons of her color. That would seem to be against the separate car business that has been advocated in this State. It is rep' -d again that the Three C's Railroad is to be completed veryi soon. The Herald and News hopes the report is true. The branch of it from Augusta to Blacksbrug is very much needed. It would be a greati thing for Newberry, but then railroads! nor anything else can make a town grow unless the citizens are possessedi of some public spirit. Still we would be very glad to see this part of the road built and that speedily, and.we hope the report is true. The railroad cases were heard in the Supreme Court of the United States on Monday of last week. At this writing no decision has been filed, but it seems to be the general opinion that it will be adverse to the State. The merits of the cases were not reached; the only ques tion argned was the habeas corpus proceeding. The cases are no nearer an end than they were before, if this he] true. What good all this side firing does we are unable to see. It is true it makes big fees for some of the lawyers1 but the people have the bills to foot. It is stated that Mr. Samuel Lord, who was in the case when it camne up before the court in Charleston, refused to enter the csse in Washington for the reason that he felt the State had no case. Mr. Randolph Tucker, of Vir ginia, was employed by the State and lit will take a right good fee to pay him, but then this is a reform admninistra tion and if the people are satisfred we will not complain. There is one thing The Herald and News does not understand: Why is it that Sheriff Riser has to stay in Char leston and the other Sheriffs who were adjuged guilty of contempt are per mitted to remain at home? The Greenvllle News -gets off' the f->1 lowing bit of poetry which is worth preserving: There were three men in our State 1 And they were wondrous sly,1 *They floundered in a bramble bush . And therein dropped their pie;. But when they found there pie was gone< With all their mights and mains They ran against a granite wall And busted out their-their-fillings A MATEZNAL GOVERNMENT. A correspondent in the Presbyterian writes an article deploring the craze for office exhibited by our people since the inauguration of President Cleve land, and says that the greater part of the time of the officials is being taken up in bearing the appeals of office seek ers, and says that people are coming to look upon the government as a mother who is to firnish the nourishment. He closes his Iamentations as follows: "Some Congressmen and Senators think they are elected as assistant nurses to help put the government teat i:i the hungry children's mouth. They cleim it as their highest and chief pre rogative to disburse patronage in their district or State. This is about the most that some of them do for their Astrict or State is to disburse it's pat ronage or try to. No such power and privilege has been conferred upon them by their office. Who shall be post master at such and such a place, con 3erns the people of that place. The representative has no right without their consent or irrespective of their wishes to have appointed one of his rriends and 'heelers' to that position. "I would be glad to see President Meveland sit down on these assumed prerogatives. It might make some of >ur national representatives turn their ittention to questions of greater im portance to the welfare of the country. "You have all heard about the pa er:a theory of government. Well 'his that we have been writing about s the maternal theory. The difference is by no means a radical one." There can be no doubt about it, if >ur Congressmen would give as much ,oncern and study to the affairs of gov ?rnment, and to.the study of the needs )f the coun try, as they do to trying to eward some heeler, or to lay their lans so that they may secure re-elec ion, something might be done for the -elief of the suffering constituents who ent them there. Pity it is, but we tmost believe 'tis true, that statesman ihip in this day is scarcely more or less han a traffic for office and the spoils of >filee. That seems to be the leading des and the object aimed at by most >f our would be statesmen. It should be stated that Congressman icLaurin did not appear at the con erence that was held before Postmaster xeneral Bissell last week. He did not n person undertake to establish his )emocracy. We are of the opinion that ie pursued the wiser course in staying Lway. Rumors:come to us that Congress nan Latimer, coming fresh from the onference with Postmaster General 3issell, where he went to tell what a ,ood demorat he was, brought back vith him a large bundle of copies of he National Economist newspaper and )roceeded to distribute them ihrough As district.-Greenville News. Have you seen the last issue of the Economist? It contains photos of the hree distinguished South Carolina Al iance Congressmen-Latimer, Strait Lnd McLaurin. It is a very poor pic ure of Mr. Latimer, but still, you mnow he may think otherwise, and w'ould like to have the paper in the tands of his friends and constituents. ['be rumor, no doubt, is correct. Ex-Governor A. G. Magrath died of Sslight stroke of apoplexy in Charles on on Sunday. He was the last war lovernor of South Carolina and was a listinguished advocate and jurist. He iad just entsred his 81st year. George I. Seney died in New York n Friday last. He was noted for his iberal gifts to charitable and educa ional institutions. Several years ago ie gave $130,003 to Wesleyan College, dlacon, Ga., and in his will geve $230, >00 to:Emory and Wesleyan College. Che One Hundredth Anniversary of Judge O'Neani. To the Editor of The Herald and fews: You request me to give your eaders some account of Mr. Chap nan's lecture yesterday at the Graded school on the life and character of rudge O'Neall. In doing so I must iecessarily be brief, for want of time, Lad because I did not listen to the lec ure with any thought of being called ipon to write out an account of it. In common with many others, I re ~ard it unfortunate that the idea of ~elebrating the day on a larger scale vas abandoned. Judge O'Neall was lot only Newberry's most illustrious on, but was one of whom the entire state ought to be proud, and whose nemory ought to be cherished and gept fresh among our people. His ~oble example ought to be commended ~specially to the young and growing eneration. Hence, it is to be regretted hat so fitting an opportunity for doing his was given up. In doing honor to he memory of 0' Neall, we would have yeen doing honor to ourselves in show ng our appreciation of so noble a char Lter, and we would ait t be same time save been encouraging~ our young men Lad boys to emulate his exaimple. But am not inclined to complamn of the lecision to give up the plan of a more 'xtended celebration of the day. It was bought of too late to make the neces iary arrangements, the speakers in rited to attend were unable to do so, loubtless from being notified too late, ad our people were from some cause nanifestly not disposed to join heartily n such a celebration. It was therefore beat, perhaps, to give t up. This decided upon, it was a mappy thought of Mr. Evans, Superini endent of our Graded Schools, to de rote an hour to the celebration of the lay, and to invite Mr. Chapman to de iver an address to the pupils on the ife and character of Newberry's dis ~inguished son. The address was of ~ourse not elaborate, for Mr. Chapman 3ad on.ly from Saturday to Monday to bink up what he should say. After iving a brief sketch of the Judge's life, is hirth, near the town of Newberry, >f Quaker parents, his early education, ais industrious and studious habits, his rareer as a legislator, and as a judge, he Iwelt on certain leading incidents of is career, as showing his marxed abil ty, his independence of character and dis determination to do at all times what he regardled as right. He toild how, on more than one occa ion, as a legislator, he made himself emporarily unpopular and prevented alis re-election to office by this inde yendence and strict adherence to his deas of duty. What a lesson this >ught to be to some of our demagogue poiticians of the present day, to whom the term, duty, is unknown. But so great was public confidenes in is ability and integrity-of character, :at these spells of unpopularity were mly momentary and soon forgotten. He'dwelt especially on the famous de tision against some of the nullHilcation aws of the South Carolina Legislature f 1832 and '33, as being "inconsi:stent with the allegiance of the citizen to the Federal Government." At the time this decision was made, he State was in a great political fer neat on the question of nullification. And yet, as an upright and patriotic iudge, he had the courage and the in iependence to do what he regarded as i dut y. This decision so incensed the 'dominant element" of that time that he Court of Appalsa aoihedha by the legislature to get rid of Judge O'Neall. Mr. Chapman said that while his sympathy on this question was on the other side, Judge O'Neall's indepen dence and devotion to his idea of duty greatly increased his admiration for the man, and he admitted that the logic of events had shown that Judge O'Neall was right. He dwelt also on the Judge's great power as an orator, a sort of "forest born Demosthens," and the great ser vice he had rendered his country and all the upper portion of the State by his energy and perseverance in getting the Greenville and Columbia Railroad built, this being the first railroad above Columbia. He also referred to his labors in the cause of temperance, of which he was one of the most distinguished advo cates of his day. But he did not in form us that he had advocated either "prohibition" or a State Dispensary, according to the new-fangled ideas of our day. In my opinion O'Neall was a man of too sound and sober judg ment to have accepted either. But one important field of the Judge's energy and activity, one of the most impor tant, as I think, Mr. Chapman failed to touch upon,-for want of time, no doubt. This was his activity and zeal in the cause of education. He was, if I mistake not, almost a life-long member of the Board of Trustees of the South Carolina College, of which he was a graduate, and we may rest assured was one of the most active. I myself recall him as one of the most energetic pa trons and friends of Forman Univer sity in its younger days. He was also an earnest advocate of a better public school system. He recognized in his day, as do the wisest and best men of our day, that the great want-the greatest of all our wants-in this State and all over the South, is more general intelligence among all classes of our people. Until this is the case they will not cease to be the mere instruments and footballs of scheming politicians. Judge O'Neall was also an active and energetic promoter of Sunday-schools and all kinds of church work, and was notorious for his fondness for children and their fondness for him. He was in short what the Germans would term a many-sided man. He took a lively interest in all that pertained to the well being and building up of the country, and seemed to have a snecial capan.ity for each. The memory of such a man ought to be cherished and kept fresh in the minds of rising gen erations as a model worthy of imita tion. To those desiring to read an in teresting biographical sketch of the Judge I would commend that in Mr. John B. Carwile's interesting little book, "Reminiscenses of Newberry." I have thus hastily, Mr. Editor, indi cated what I recall as the essential points in Mr. Chapman's lecture, as well as in the career of Newberry's most illustrious son. B. 0. D. April 11, 1893.
