It is said that a compromise was agreed upon last week in the much discussed silver question. Congress has been in extraordinary session since the first of August, especially convened to legislate on the financial question. It is time something were done. The compromise, as we gather the propo sition, is not much of a compromise. It is still the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law, only it postpones for one year the time when the repeal bill shall go into effect. This it seems to us should not be objectionable. The silver men will have time to find other markets for their money than the gov ernment and in that time some other legislation on this question can be had. Possibly some international agreement on the question can be reached by which a silver dollar will be a dollar any and every where. Now Congress should go ahead and carry out the other provisions and pledges of the Democratic platform. Repeal the tax on State banks of issue and arrange so that we can have a lo cal currency that will be as good as our greenbacks and we can h:Lve a currency In sufficient volume to do the business of the country. The latest report we ..d in yester day's papers was that :.3r. Cleveland would not hear to a compromise. He blim~ I he majori'y should rIAe: and a maj-.z i vor repea], and t'.. Zi)use ha's r,-p.-aed by a large majority. It is unconditional repeal with him or noth ing. President Cleveland has the cour age of his convictions, and when he feels sure he is right he believes in going ahead. __ _ _ FOR REVENUE. Gov. Tillman, in an interview, states that "Dispensaries will be closed where they are not profitable to the State." How does that sound for prohibitiorn? If they are economically run and are not profitable it must mean that not much whiskey is sold. If the whiskey is sold in large quantities so as to make them profitable with the expensive machinery necessary to run them, then how shall they be considered as prohi bition measures? One of the arguments In Judge Hudson's opinion is that the law is to raise revenue. The attorneys for the State in their appeal say that it is not a measure to raise revenue, but to regulate the sale of liquor. There seems to be something wrong some where. Some one has got things mixed. In the courts the purpose is not to raise revenue but to regulate. The head and chief of the whole busi ness com- along and says that if any dispensary is not profitable it shall be cut down and cast into the fire. The two things will not work together they will not harmonize. If it is a financial success it is bound to be a moral failure and vice versa. We said that long ago. There might be some profit in the business if there was not such an expensive machinery con nected with its enforcement. We shall soon have some light. A few days ago we heard a gentle man in Lexington County talking about the beauties of the Dispensary law. How it had reduced crime and soon he thought our criminal courts would have literally nothing to do. He believed that the decrease in crime had been at least 75 per cent since the first of July. The Dispensary law was a great promoter of temperance and i blessing for the morals of the country from his standpoint. This gentleman was a minister. He called attention to the fact that at the last two terms of court at Lexington the criminal business had been almost nothing, and attributed this state of af fairs to the Dispensary law. He should have gone a step further In this line of argument and inquired the status of aff'airs in the Lexington jail at present, as he was using Lexing ton as an illustration. If he had he would have found out that it has more prisoners awaiting tria' at this timie than have been there in several years. We made the inquiry but do not now recall the exact number, but it is either sixteen or twenty-six, at any rate a pretty big number. We do not charge it to the Dispensary law, but it certain ly acts as an explosion of the argument used by this gentleman. Mr. Van Alen has been confirmed as embassador to Italy. Can't the New York Snuffer and the Atlanta Sneezer now take a rest? The Indian summer and the United States Senate we still have with us. The Herald and News is somewhat in the dark as to what the Senate is doing. 'Lhat bright luminary, the Con gressional Record, has not shed its re fulgent beams in this sanctum a single WHAT THE-COUNTRY -NEEDS The following is from a recent letter from Rev. Sam Jones, and has so much meat in it that we give it to our readers: Talk about an honest difference of opinion! Where do opinions come from? A man's opinions are only worth possessing and maintaining when they come of research, experi ence and wisdom. You hear men say "I follow my con science," or "I will die by my opin ions," or "my principles are the correct ones," etc. My conscience is like my watch, it can only be trusted when it is carefully regulated, and has proven itself reliable. So no man can trust conscience, principles or opinions until they have been regulated and tested by right standards. Or, rather, conscience is like a tar bucket on the bind axle of a wagon. It's about the last thing to come up. Some men may die by right convic tions, but surely they won't live by them. I want to s-s a wise strong man turned loose, untrammelled by fear and unourchasable by rewards, and unterrorized by enemies, and un swerved by friends-just to see what he would do. The nation never needed such men in Congress, in editorial chairs, in pul pit and in society as it needs them to day. Such men, in the majority, would regulate and run this country grandly. A man's conscience is only valuable as a guide of right living when it has been properly trained and is enlight ened. Still the voice of conscience should not be hushed, and thereshould be more heed given to it. We do not know that we agree with Mr. Jones, that the conscience is always the last thing to come up. It may be after it has been pushed aside and driven back for many years. By constant treat ment of this kind a man may put it so far behind that it will not even be as near to the front as the tar-bucket on the wagon. But the point that we wanted to em phasize in this extract is the need of just such a man, or a lot of them, as Mr. Jones wants to see turned loose. "A wise, strong man, untrammelled by fear and unpurchasable by rewards, unterrorized by enemies and unswerved by friends." It would be interesting to note just what he would do. His con science would not have to occupy the place of the tar-bucket on the wagon. There is great need and much room not for one such man-but for many of them in this country in every depart ment and vocation in life. But pity it is that in these times the demagogues and politicians seem to be on top and running things, to suit themselves. Maybe it will not always be thus. The demand is here for big men. Men with big hearts and big brains and big consciences. We need to be rid of so much narrowness and bitter ness and selfishness. We need to rid ourselves of that idea, "Every man for himself and the devil take the hind mo't." No man can live to himself. We are dependent upon each other. f there were a clearer realization of this truth, rand there were more sym pathy, -ed i:.cse who are strong would lend a t?eiug hand to their less fortu nate neighbors, the world would be better for it. We need broad-minded, liberty-loving, patriotic men in public places. The country needs more states manship and fewer selfish demagogues in high official places. The New York Press, a Republiesn newspaper, says that when President leveland was inaugurated he was worth something like $500,000, not more. When he was inaugurated the Press says, "In order to avoid even the appearance of evil, the President-elect had all his securities disposed of and the proceeds invested in such a manner that no official policies of his could either increase or decrease their value." wing to the fact that Mr. Cleveland has given all his time and attention to :ublic business, his private invest 2ents have been neglected and he has received nothing from his property and to-day it is not worth more than 20,030. This does not look like he was using his official pc-ition to build up his pri vate fortune. We hope those persons in this county who were told last summer that the President had made a million dollars n ne day will take note of this. In stead of making money, he is poorer than he was when elected. Judges Hudson, Gary and Iziar have ll decided the Dispensary law uncon stitutional.. ~They find no provision in the Act for punishing the offender even if he be found guilty. Solicitor Bellinger is quoted as saying that so far as he could find, a man might get him a wheelborrow and peddle liquor 2 and down the street so long as he did not have it shipped to him for the purposes of sale. Judge Wallace, if we remember correctly, sentenced a man to one year in jail and pay a fine of $100 for violating the provisions of the Act. Gov. Tillman says if the judges don't know the law he can't help it. But he promises to have the Legislature to onstrue and interpret it and make it plain when it meets. It has cost the State a good deal of money, and still we do not know where we are at in this busess. The papers are being filled with dis' cussions and wrangles over t be sena torial election next year. We agree with the Grrenville News that we had better wait awhile, it is too soon to be iussinr candidates for next year and faiig dges and predictions. There may be a great many changes before the campaign warms up next sum mer. Let us watch things for awhile nd not be troubling ourselves about this man or that man. There may be new men in the field, men who are not now considered in the discussion. At any rate there is plenty of time to dis russ these matters. The Herald and News acknowledges the receipt of Congressman-Talbert's peeci on the Federal Election bill. It is the only public document we have received in a long time and we thank r. Talbert for thus remembering us. )ur own Congressman, the Hon. A. C. L6atimer, forgot to send us a copy of Lis peech, and also the Congressional lcord. We say forgot, for we do not d cannot believe he would intention lty -A wilfully slight us. can be inserted under the head of "remarks." Your prompt attention will greatly oblige yours respectfully, B. R. TILLMAN, Governor. WANTS SOME 'G USH' FOR THE MESSAGE. There are sixty-six dispensaries in operation in the State, and whatever information may be given the Goverr or will probably be used in his message, as he believes the reports will show up in favor of the dispensary system. THE MAJORITY SHOULD RULE. Cleveland Thinks the Rep3al Bill Should be Passed. and is Evidently Opposed to Compromise in Any shape and Would Veto Such a Bill if Yassed. WASHINGTON, October 23. -- The statement made public lrst night as to the attitude of the Administration on the pronosed compromise came from a source entitled to full credence. The President, in response to direct ap peals from Senators, has discreetly re frained hitherto from making any state ment which could be construed as in dicating a desire of dictating to Con gress, but, in view of what has taken place, he has fully expressed his views, and the announcement made last night is understood to be a reflection of the views so expressed. He believes a majority of the Senate to be in favor of unconditional repeal, and that means should be devised to enable the majority to give effect to it3 opinions. This is a clear indication that the propo3ed compromise, if passed into law, would probably be met with Executive opposition. This will add new elementg of difficulty to the situation, and almost another week of tiresome talk seems unavoidable. CONFLICTING RUMORS OF COMPROMISE. There was an air of uncertainty about the Senate chamber this morning, and Senators who were confident of a solu tion of the financial question when the Senate took a recess last Saturday until this morning were looking very gloomy over the prospects, and, according to opinion freely expressed by some Sena tors, any idea they may have had of a recess has vanished. The dictum of the President was re ceived in various ways and was not un looked for in some quarters. It is said. for instance, on one band, that this has effectually dispelled the lest hope of compromise, and it is said, on the other hand, that compromise will go through regardlers of the attitude of the President. The Democratic con fer'nce committee went into secret ses sion this morning again at half-past 10 o'clock with orders that no one be ad mitted. After a half hour spent in de liberation other Senators came and went, and it appeared as if Democrats were being consulted upon the new situation that confronted those in charge of the bill. SENATOR IRBY WAS OPPOSED TO THE COMPROMISE. WASHINGTON, October 23.-Senator Irby is being roundly condemned by some of his Democratic associates be cause he refused to sign the compromise proposition. The junior senator from South Carolina did not withhold his signature from the petition because of his desire to uohold the President, but because he dit not consider the com promise a just recognition of silver. It appears to-night that the compromise is aead beyond resurrection and the indications are that a vote on uncondi tional repeal will be reached before the week cIoces. So strong is the feeling among the silver Democrats at the failure of the compromise that they threat2n to read out of the party those Senators who refused to sign the peti tion. Senator Harris undertook a part of that task to-day when he had a lively personal colloquy with Senator Irby on the subject. The South Caro linian defended his action and there was a sharp passage of words. Notice of Final settlement. N OTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that I will make a final settle ment of the estate of Henry C.

The Baptists Dismiss the Chief Dispenser -Rather than Foment Discord he Waives Examination. [Special to News and Courier.] COLUMBIA, October 23.-Another church member has been made to fall out of ranks on account of being asso ciate-1 with the dispensary. This time it is the State commissioner, Mr. D. H. Traxler. The charges against him, as is known, have been hanging fire for some time, and Mr. Traxler, rather than occasion excitement and confu sion, asked the church to expel him. There are twenty-six membeis of the church at Timmonsville, and he says that he could easily claim 50 per cent of them as being favorable to the position he takes. Mr. Traxler is still of the opinion that he is doing no wrong in taking hold of the dispensary, and thinks that it is the only thing that can be done towards drilling the prohi bition idea into the people. He considers that he has acted thoroughly con scientiously in the entire matter, and that he can continue in his work with a clear understanding of his duty. DISPENSING WITH THE DISPENSER. When the case came up Sunday night at Timmonsville Mr. Traxler was prepared with a long defence, but thought it unnecessary to make it as he had decided upon another course. He then had the following letter read: TIXMONSVILLE, S. C , October 21,1893. T;mmonsville Baptist church-Brethren: It is with heartfelt regret that I am forced to sever my church relation. I leave you with best wishes for the advancement of our Mas. ter's work. I assure you no prejudice is en t 3rtained against the denomination, for I can never be anything save a Baptist. My views have not changed from those ex pressed in previous letters. I have received thirty or more replies from able divines and Christian gentlemen all over the State touch ing my position, and the majority express themselves i ) my entire satisfaction. This suffices me. I have, therefore, decided to abandon any further defence of the charges agpinst me. The result of a long trial, whether in my favor by a few votes or not, would do me no good, and the little gain it would afford mijht involve my denomination in endless tronule a'l over the State, which I do not desire to Eee. Under these circumstances I would rather suffer individually at your hands. I thank you all for the courtesy shown me, and ask that my name be dismissed from the roll by a motion without further trial. r'raternally, D. H. TRAXLEB. The sudden turn of things was not altogether unexpected. Prof. Smith moved that the letter be accepted, and without any debate or discussion a vote wastaken, and Mr. Traxler was excom municated from the Baptist Church of Timmonsville. This will probably be the end of the case. BUTLER-TILLMAN. Some Remarks About the Senato) i1 Con test and a Third Candidate. [Special to News and Courier.] COLUMBIA, S. C., October 22.-A glance over the political field of this State just at this time gives one a brief insight into the most remarkable con glomeration of affairs that has ever been known, perhaps, since the advent of the Tillman Administration, and one can but wait and watch results. It would be difficult indeed to foretell anything with aty degree of certainty. The men who are leaders in the domi nant political party at present are looking ahead into the future and watching their chance to better their own interests. Governor Tillman, by his remarkable campaigns in this State, the pushing of the dispensary law, and other things of a like nature,- and his recent open bid for the leadership of the proposed new National party, has succeeded in achieving the National reputation that he cravea, and he is now looking to the future, with evety energy on the alert. It has been frequently intimated that he would seek a third term as Gover nor, but there Is absolutely no likeli hocd of him making any such move. He is AFTER BUTLER'S SCALP with a whole belt full of tomahawks, and he and his lieutenants are smiling with satisfaction at the course Senator Butler is now pursuing in the Senate. That is a plain unvarnished statement of a fact. The Governor is priming his guns and getting ready for the big fight, and dces not sram to have the slightest doubt as to the result. Up to tbe past week or so it has been pretty well understood that the race for the Senate would be only be tween Senator Butler and Governor Tillman, but the Senator's course in the Senate during this time has caused many of his friends to marvel, and a great many of them do not hesitate to say that they will desert him. The re sult is going to be, so it appears now, that Senator Butler is going to lose a good proportion of the Conservative vote. To-day I had talks with several well-known Conservatives in regard to the coming fight, and they all seem to be down on Senator Butler. One of them, a man who has long been re cognized as one of the most observant politicians in the State, thoroughly acquainted with the politics of this and other countries, said very plainly that he regretted to see Senator Butler take the course he has adopted, but was morally certain that "Butler will not get over 40 per cent of the Conservative vote, and possIbly not that." He went on to say that t here was a great deal of talk about running. A THIIti CANDIDATE against bot hi Tillmaan and Butler, and said that he had heairr Judge Hudson's name aggested and' fatvornIbly consid ered. He thiniks i ba: .Judge~ H udson, commanding the re.n~ et that he does of many men oni both sides, would make a strong e~ aididlate. I have also beard Congressmian Brawley's name suggested. Of~ course, no one can tell what the future holds, considering recent developments having a bearing on tbe Senatorial nice, but just n.ow it looks like a three-cornered fight is very likely. It also sems that the third man in a primary would get a portion of the vote of both sides. HAS IT DECREAsED DRtUNKENNESs? Governor Tillman is Trying to Prove--The Dispensary Law a Great Moral Agent. CoMunIA, October 19.-Governor Tillman wants to get the official facts and figures as to the operation of thbe dispensary law. It has been claimed by its friends t hat the law has decreased drunkenness and crime, but no official data have ever been collected or pub lished. So far as Columbia is concerned the police officials say that the number of arrests for "drunk and disorderly" has not decreased, bu t, on the contrary, has kept up its u-ual number. Such reports come from other towns also, but there has been nothing officially given out on the subject. TRYING To STEAL TEMPERANCE THUNDER With a view of getting at the facts the following circular was issued to-day to the heads of the different city and town governments where dispensaries are in operation: DEAR SIR: As head of your city government I beg that you will make or have the proper officer or to make an examination of the records and send me a comparative statement showing the number of arrests for drunkenness or for disorder occasioned by the use of whiskey for the periods of July 1 to September 31, 1893, also for the month of September alone during this and last year. My object is to obtain correct infor mation as to the working of the dis pensary law as compared with the iense system. Any remarks of a general nature indicative of your views on the restraint of the whiskey evil Master's Sales. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF NEWBERRY-IN COMMON PLEAS. Cole. L.
