ELBERT H. AULL, j Proprietors. Wx. P. HOUSEAL, y ELBERT H. AULL. EDrroa. WHAT IS SEIGNIORAGE? A good deal has been said in the newspapers of late about the Bland Seigniorage Bill, which has just been passed by both Houses of Congress., No doubt there are a good many peo ple who do not know just what is meant by seigniorage, or the coinage of the seigniorage. The New York Recorder recently offered a prize of a2.5 for the best definition of the word, and it was won by Mr. F. J. Herzog, of New York, and this is his definition, as we find it in the Atlanta ConsLitu tion: "Seigniorage consists of the differ ence between the cost of an amount of bullion and the face value of the coins minted from it. By the Sherman Act the government was compelled to pur chase 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month at the market price. As the price of silver fluctuated, so the amount of treasury notes issued in payment of this bullion sometimes increased sometimes diminished. The down ward tendency having been greater in the last few years, there were issued, from the time of the passage of the Sherman Aet to its repeal, $154,000,000 in treasury notes, to cover an amount of bullion which should actually have made 209,000,00 silver dollars. In other words, there is now an amount of bullion, in excess of the reserve ne cessary to cover the $154,000,000 treas ury notes, in the treasury which, if coined, would make 5.5,000,000 silver dollars, against which the Seigniorage Bill is to issue paper currency, and so put$555000,000in the treasury and help thegovernment out of its financial dif "This explains'the matter very clear ly and yet concisely. It would be dif ficult to throw more light upon the subject in the same space." Webster defines it: "Something claimed or taken by virtue of sovereign prerogative; specifically a certain toll or deduction on bullion brought to the mint to be coined, designed originally to defray the expenses of coinage, but after made a branch of royal revenue. This deduction is still in force with certain modifications of the original system at government mints." Johhson'sEncyclopediasays: "Seign iorage, in finance, is the charge levied by the government to cover the ex pense of coinage." It seems to us that Mr. Herzog's defi nition covers the case as well or better than any we have seen. We have been asked several times what is meant by seigniorage, and we hope these expla nations will cover the case fully and satisfactorily. We stated last week that Gen. Izlar had been elected Congressman from the ls. District by about 200 majority. The reports say his majority is from 500 to 600. The board of canvassers will meet this week to canvas the returns, and declare the result. It is said that Dr. J. W. Stokes will contest theelection.TheRegiter should talk to Dr. Stokes. It has announced thathehas been defeated and that being the case he should eat his crow and bow to the will of the people. The Bland Seigniorage Bill has passed the Senate by a majority of 13. The vote was 44 to 31. Thirty Democratic Senators voted for it and three were pardin its favor. It is reported that Senator Irby is going to resign as Chairman of the ocratic party for this State. We wthelieve it when we see it. Isn't thr nold saying something about fewdie, dnone resign? C.H.W. J. Hem, the Georgia hu moit nwriting a letter of accept anceto akepart in a performance in Atlata son,says: "I can always tell mor abutsomething that I do not knwanything a,put than I can about the things with which I am most fa miliar. I learned this while I was in polisics, and at one time thought my v self an expert, but recently 1 have been so far out-classed in this regard by some novices in the business that I have given up in disgust and retired to the shades of journalistic Lathe, com pletely knocked out." If you will notice it closely, Colonel Ham is about right. The average pol itician can tell you more about the things of which he knows nothing N. than of the things with which he is pe.rfectly familiar. It is passing strange sometimes how much the average politician does know. Mr. Tindal wrote a very conserva tive letter to the managers of the Ab beville meeting. He has now issued a circular letter in which he says he would appreciate the high honor of being Governor of South Carolina, but he cannot undertake a heated cam paign to secure the honor and thus aid and be a party to further strife a:id bit terness. It is a pity the Reform movement has not more leaders of the type of Mr. * Tindal. We have been very favorably * mpressed with his utterances of late. They have the righ t ring a bout them. He is still true to the principles of the Reform movement, but he does not be lieve in keeping up the bitterness and animosity. He is too conservative to suit the leaders of Reform in this State at this time, but if the Reformers want peace and harmony restored they should put up a man like Mr. Tindal for Governor, and we believe they could accompl'sh that end. He seems willing to treat the minority with that consideration and respect which is due them. The Herald and News believes that there are enough really conservative men in both factions to elect a man like Mr. Tindal, if they could only be organized and had a leader. It is time to be rid of extremists of all faetions. There is nothing to be gaiu.ed by this everlasting strife. We publish this week the new school law as passed by our last Legislature with reference to new and special s.chool districts. It will be found of interest to many of our readers. Some impor tant changes have been made in the law. CoL Win. Wallace has been appointed nnwtmastar at Columbia. Judge Simonton has decided the gi railroad tax cases in favor of the State. 0o His decision is printed in full this week. We hope that will end the matter. S1 Governor Tillman should now apol- m ogize to Judge Simonton for the ugly m things be has said about him. The g Herald and News took the position all tc along that the proper way to settle the If matter was to take the case up on its o merits and let us know the law in the w case and when that was passed upon it should be accepted by all law-abiding citizens. The railroads owe about $200,000 of taxes, State, county and school. When this is paid it will help out the State and county treasury very much. The Herald and News is glad the matter has been determined and if it is right and proper for the railroads to m pay these taxes why they should be Is made to pay them. to We learn from the Abbeville Press o and Banner that Gen. Robt. R. Hemp- p1 bill does not want to be Governor and ' will not have any State office, but as a number of his friends want him to go is back to the Senate he will stand for re- a election. There now. What will the ia Greenville News have to say to this? h It will have to climb back on the fence bi as we have done or trot out a new el horse. ti cs The Herald and News interviewed o sometime ago some fifty-seven per- of sons on the question of water works. Twenty-two were in favor of the system unconditionally; b twenty-two were opposed, and thir- tl teen favored .the system condition- c ally. If a canvass were made now no d doubt the opponents would be in favor d of the system. X When it came to a vote in the town ti of Aiken on the question, the vote stood h 108 for and 3 against. We believe that t by the time everything is in shape for d a vote on the question, Newberry will r' stand in about the same proportion. If n q it does not, it should. There is no step p we need more to take just now than the one that will give us water works for Newberry. To judge from the daily papers there n is a great deal of wire pulling going on among the leaders just about this time. tj It was first said that the race for Gov- n ernor was to be narrowed down to t John Gary Evans and W. H. Ellerbe. Now, since the Lexington meeting, T we are told that Mr. Ellerbe is not h enough of a stump speaker to make the race and that he will be asked to step down and out. That W. D. Evans is b the man to pit against his cousin John I Gary. And some talk of Mr. McLaurin i being invited to come home from t Washington to enter the field against n Mr. John Gary. It is said that the a latter will be a candidate whether he gets the reform convention endorse- b ment or not. It seems, if these reports are to be re- c lied upon, that Mr. John Gary Evans is not the choice of the alliance wing of b the Reform party, but that he is Mr. Tillman's choice, and the effort of the e alliance wing of the party is to secure U some one as a candidate who is a match E for Mr. Evans on the stump. tl Well, it is none of our quarrel and q we don't care much what they do. But we see no mention made of Dr. 3 Timmerman and Dr. Pope, who have I attended both meetings that have been t held. I We publish this week from the j Columbia Register a full report of the b Lexington meeting. The Register says it was a failure so far as numbers are concerned, only b about 100 being present. From the q average newspaper method of esti-e mating crowds that would mean thatf only about 25 persons were present. b There must have been more than that, b however, for Lexington must have at d least fifty office seekers. fa OUR PROSPERIT LETTER. [Special to The Herald and News.] t Dr. A. J. P. Julian and family left o here yesterday for Lincoln, Neb., where ri they wIl remain until next fall. To-morrow the equinox and full a moon both occur. Look out for spas- ,n modic convulsions in and among the ,a elements. re Miss Cora Dominick has been elected d teacher of the school at McCormick, in ib Abbeville County. She has accepted and took charge yesterday. .a Last week services were held in Grace Lutheran church every after- tl noon ,for the especial benefit of the C elderly ladies who cannot well attend u at night. This week there are services b every night. On Sunday the commun- it ion will be administered. a The extraordinary condition of the o weather, which seems to have changed v blustery March into mild, warm, gentle c May, give the wheat and oats on a t; perfect boom. These crops are looking n fine, and just now they are promising ej an abundant harvest. t We have an organization here which gives every member an office. This is u the joint stock company of the Press and Reporter. The company was re- is organized last week, and the following ei officers were elected: W. A. Moseley, si president; F. V. Capers, vice president; b R. L. Whites, secretary; L. 8. Bowers, p treasurer. These gentlemen represent ti the entire stock-eaeh gets an office, t< and they are all bappy and sereue- d Glorious organization is this-enough p offices to go around. All the geese in this country do not have feathers, but they are web-footed e~ and have filt, very flat bills. f. The Prosperity Canning Company is o a rather small institution, yet it is one i of which the Prosperityites are justly ( proud. At a recent meeting of the b stockholders an annual dividend of ten r; per cent. was declared and paid. This is e certainly a goed dividend, and one that fi should be considered as highly commen- e datory of small enterxprises,which go far d in building up both town and country. t It is not only renumerative as an investment, but it puts hundreds and t even thousands of dollars into the pockets of farmers at a time when t they mostly need it, and for fruit that a would otherwise be lost by rot and t feeding to pigs. Besides this it gives e employment, at good wages, to from fifteen to thirty boys and men, white t boys and men, of town and country t jut at a time when they bad almost e noting else to do. We need many more such enterprises, not only in Poprt,but all over our country. ( If nlyourpeolewould just let politics alone, which benefits none of us saver the office holder, and, and direct their E energies and means towards the build ing up mfanu facturing enterprises every ; 'where, we cannot have too many, how a mub more prosperous and happy as a whole people we would be., H that a maketh two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, is greater than a f mighty general of armies. This is aa sublime thought, and one upon which I if we would all act, we would have aU1 fr orious and prosperous coun try. Let ir people every where get together idencourageand build manufactories, id thereby build up our country. ich enterprises will give us all the oney we want, or at least a great deal ore than we can foolishly expect from >vernmental legislation. ; Legislating oney into people's pockets is a myth, o preposteroua to consider. Moral. we: can't build a big cotton mill let build a little canning factory. It ill pay. Yu-BE. THE RI.'ORM MASS MEETING. s Gubernatorial Candidates Turn Up. J. A. siigh Elected Pelegate to April Conference In Columbia, The At tendance not 'Large Or Euthu seastic. But Good Natured." It was a delightful meeting. We ean the mass meeting of the refor era, whien was held at Newberry st Saturday under the call issued by ie Rev. J. A. Sligh in his circular let r. It was for the purpose of hearing eo reform candidates for Governor tell their respective claims upon the peo ,e for their suffrage, but the candi ttes gave us the go by. None of them trned up and even our own county an went with the crowd over to Lex gton. So our meeting was without speaker in the shape of a gubernator ,1 candidate. But the meeting was eld all the same and a delegate elected the conference to be held in Colum a under the Colleton idea. And very body was in a good humor and te meeting passed off without any is or friction. It may have been be use every one was of the same way thinking and there was no reason or casion for friction. The crowd was not large. Only one Dte on a division was held and there ere only twenty-two votes coanted, st there were all told something more ian one hundred present. That in uded the reporters and college stu ents and spectators from the town. From the attendance here on Satur ay we are almost ready to believe that least some of the people are getting red of politics. The leaders are now aving a big time and we suppose the eople will come in after awhile for eir time. We shall wait and watch evelopments and try to keep our aders posted. If you want all the ews and both sides of the political estions The Herald and News is the aper you are looking for. The meeting was called to order by tev. J. A. Sligh, chairman of the can as. Upon motion of Mr. J. T. Duncan Er. Sligh was made permanent chair ian of the mass meeting. Mr. Sligh said that he would have referred some one else to have had iat honor but as it was his purpose ever to shrink from any duty, he zanked them for the : onfidence ianifested and proceeded to business. [e said they were a little unfortunate. he mass meeting bad been called to ear the candidates for Governor; but texington was a little ahead of them nd having called a meeting first the indidates and prospective candidates ad accepted the Lexington invitation. [e had written to each candidate and 2ey had all responded regretting their lability to attend. He said it was.for 2e meeting to say whether another leeting should be held or not. The ieeting was also for the purpose of iscssing the Colleton plan and elect ig a delegate to attend a meeting to e held in Columbia on April 4, and rho should also be a member of a impaign State committee of the Re >rm party. Mr. Mills nominated A. E. P. Beden agh for secretary and he was elected. Upon motion of Mr. Mills it was de ided to limit all speeches to ten min We might say here that Chairman ligh did not read any of the letters, bough we understand he was re uested to read some of them. Letters were received from WV. D. Ivans, J. G. Evans, J. E. Tindal, Dr. V. H. Timmerman,W. H. Ellerbe and )r. S. Pope. Mr. Sligh told us after be meeting that Dr. Pope requested is letter read, but be wanted to get brough with the meeting and hardly iw the necessity of reading them. )r. Pope's letter was to the effect that e had never addressed the people of lexington, and having received the vitation he had decided to accept it. 'hat the people of Newberry knew im and knew his position on public uestions and he felt sure they would iuse his absence, thoughhe regretted .e could not be with them. At some ture time, if it was desired, he would e glad to address the people of New erry County. That he was a candi ate for Governor and if nominated nd elected he would do all in his ower to discharge the duties well and ithfully, and if he was not successful e would fail in line and work for the Lccessful candidate. Mr. Cole. L. Blease, who was called Charleston on account of the illness f his brother-in-law and who did not sturn until Saturday at 1 o'clock, also rote Mr. Sligh a letter explaining his bence and requesting it read to the ieeting, but it was not read and no ent.ion made of it, we presume for the ason thathe was not considered a can idate for Governor. So much for the tters that were not read. Mr. WV. C. Sligh moved that we dopt the Colleton plan. Mr. Duncan said be did not know iat every one fully understood the lleton "plan in its details. As he derstood it there was to be one mem er from each county, who should meet Columbia on April 4, and formulate plan for calling a State Convention Reformers, and arrange for such con ention, and also to ac't as a campaign ymmittee for the Reformers during e coming campaign. It was unforto ate that we had none before. In the lection of this committee it was well give the members some discretionary owers. We cannot afford to go the campaign with halh a dozen didates. We must have a prun ig down. In order that we treat na candidate right each one 2uld be given an opportunity to be eard. Each one should be required to ledge himself to stand by the nomina ons when they are made. We ought go in the campaign with one candi ate for Governor and all of us be pre ared to roll up our sleeves and go to rork for that candidate. Chcman Sligb said he wished to al the attention of the meeting to the ct that the conference which was to e held in Columt,ia on April 4, was to ecide whether we were to have a State ~ouvention and if it was decided to ave one this committee was to ar ange for it. It seemed to him that it rould be well for; the meeting to say, *rst,whether or not it was in favor of a onvention. There are Reformers who o not. favor a convention and then bere are those who do favor one. Mr. W. C. Sligh's motion to adopt be Colleton plan was then adopted. Mr Duncan nominated as the delegate be Hon. J. A. Sligh, and there being 0 other nominations he put the ques ion and Mr. Sligh was unanimously lected. Mr. Sligh said that as their delegate lewould like to be instructed, first, as e whether the meeting was in favor of alling a State Con vention, and, second, rhether they were in favor of making ominations for State officers from overnor down. Mr. Witherspoon moved that the neeting express itself as in favor of a itate Convention. Dr. Wycbe said a great deal depends ipon how we viewed politics. There .re a great many people who claim here is nothing in politics but a cramble for office. If you look upon olitics, as a great warfare struggling r the nomination of some man to .n office, if that was all there w.as in tolitics he, for one, would retire from be field in disgust. But in his judg ment it was a far more serious matte It involved a principle and a policy f the enactment of such principle iut laws that would benefit the countr! The most serious and import:,t of a questions in his judgment was tt tinancial question. He wanted to pu suesuch a poliev in this State as woul tend to secure legislation that woul give us financial relief. It wal ver plain to his wind that the leadin linanciers of this country were tryin to force us to a gold standard and b< cause by so doing it would make thei richer and the balance of us poore We have the spectacle in this countr of producing the biggest crops ev raised and yet there is actual want au suffering, and be believed it was a due to the financial policy of the goi ernment. If we had the right financi policy we would have the most prosp rous times we have ever enjoyed in tb country. In this State we see o faction advocating Mr. Cleveland policy and the other opposing it. 1 saw in Mr. Cleveland's policy on] financial ruin. It is too vital a matt, to have half a dozen men running f4 Governor. Give we a man, said he, wi is true to the Reform movenieut and i principles and you can call him Mr. an, thing you want to. It is not merely elect him that this fight is going to I made,but to carry forward to success tLi great princi pies of Reform. If we ha any principles let us march up to ti polls and vote for them and for R form. Mr. Witherspoon's motion was tht adopted and the meeting went on r cord in favor of a State Conventian the Reformers. Mr. W. C. Sligh then made a motic that our delegate be instructed to fav, nominations for a full State ticket, bi his motion did not receive a second. Mr.Witherspoon said that the Colur bia conference was not to make non. nations. Mr. Mills moved that our delega go uninstructed as to nominations. Chairman Sligh said he wished state again that this meeting in Colur bia was not for the purpose of makir nominatiots, but simply to arrng- f calling a State convention of retorime and to arrange the details of holdit such a convention. Mr. Capers wanted our delegate to 1 uninstructed. The right man had bet elected. A man who was in touch wii the reformers and he could be trusti to do the right thing in the right wa Mr. Mills' motion was then adoptt and the delegate is,uninstructed. In the face of this action Mr. Withe spoon offered the following resolutio Be it resolved by the reformers New berry County in mass meeting a sembled, that we desire a State non nating convention to nominate St-' officers from governor down, ea( count- to be represented upon a ba: to be decided. Mr. Capers opposed it and wanted voted down. Mr. Witherspoon thought the resol tion did not bind our representative al hoped the resolution would be passe Mr. Capers still opposed the resol tion. There will be agitation and ag tation always brings light. We shou leave our delegate free to act for himsi as his best judgment should dictate. Mr. Mills said the resolution confliu ed with the one just passed. The Witherspoon resolution was thi voted down on a division by a vote o: to 16. The mass meeting then adjourned. THE NEW ORGAN. The committee to solicit stock al subscriptions for the new paper held meeting in the morning to which t reporter was not invited. Mr. Bede baugh gives the facts given herewi and asks that the same be publishe Mr. Sligh was made permanent cha man and Mr. Beden baugh permane secretary. The following were add to the committee: J. T. Duncan, 0. Wycbe, J1. B. Ruff, J. R. Perdue, Connor. 0. B. Evans, WV. B. .Boine T. J. Wilse n, N. B. Wheeler, J. Frick. The chairman was empower to add other members as he saw fit. F. V. Capers moved that the met bers of the soliciting committee rept all subscriptions and stock to the si retary on or before the next meeting the commit tee on A pril 2. All perso who are not on the committee are quested to report all subscriptions ai stock secured by them through a mer er of the committee on that date. There will also be a meeting of t: stockholders on A pril 2. Each o is expected to be present in person by proxy. Mr. Bedenbaugh said he did not ca yet to give out the amount of sto secured nor the number of subscribe: Mr. Sligh told us that enough sto had not yet been secured to organi: and besides no charter had been o taned.
