VICTORY I “We have met the enemy and they are ours.” Grover Cleve land has again led us to glorious victory. The party of “high moral ideas and immoral prac tices” has been defeated. The party of protection, the party that fosters monopolies and trusts, the party that makes the rich man richer and the poor man poorer has met with a stinging rebuke. The people are the victors. Cleveland is preeminently the greatest man in the country. We do not believe that any other Democrat could have led us to so great a victory. He was de feated four years ago because he was ahead of the times. When he presented his famous tariff message to the country the people were uncertain as to the effect that the reduction of the tariff would have. They were not fully educated on the subject, but Cleveland compell ed the Democratic party to make the tariff the paramount issue. The question since that time has been thoroughly agi tated and the McKinleybillsho w- ed the people the evil of a high tariff. The country came afound to Cleveland’s way of thinking and then it was that the people demanded his nomi nation and gave him the elec tion. Thk New's has always advo cated Cleveland. We believed that he would be nominated be cause we believed the people wanted him, and we had abid ing confidence in his election. We congratulate the country and the South in particular. THE STATE FAIR. The State Fair will begin on Monday. This institution has been so long established and has been such a power for good that it seems almost superfluous for us to say anything in its favor, but we cannot resist our desire to congratulate the Stete Agricultural Society and the people of South Carolina gener ally on the bright prospects for the festival next week. Every sign points to this year’s Fair being the best ever held. ^ The managers of the Fair have worked earnestly and well for its success and have been met with a hearty response from the citizens of the State. The exhibits will be numeroas, varied in character and un usually fine. The attendance will probably be very largo and the hospitable citizens of Col umbia are making extensive preparations to give their “country cousins” a good time, during their week’s stay in the city. The annual Fair is of gn at benefit to the State. It af fords occasions for the bringing together of our people from every section. Old and pleas ant acquaintances are renewed and new ones are made. It is on these occasions, too, that wa can best see the great progress we are making. The work of the husbandman and mechanic is exhibited in a way that never fp’ls to find appreciation, rot only among our own citizens, but among the people who an nually attend the Fair in large numbers from other States. Since the Legislature has ceas ed giving an appropriation to the Fair, the Association has had to depend solely upon itself, hence it behooves us all to give it substantial support. The As sociation is a farmer’s institu tion that has no politics in it and to this is largely due its success. THE OFFER TO REFUND. The offer which we reported in our last issue, that Governor Tillman had received from a firm in Wall Street to refund the State debt, it is now said comes from Messrs Blair & Co. This firm is reported to be one of the most reliable firms in Wall Street. The offer is to re fund the debt at 41 per cent. The Act of the Legislature pio- vides for refunding the debt at a rate not greater than 4 j er jent and,consequently, the offert cannot be accepted without the Legislature changing the Act. It is important that this mat ter should be given careful con sideration. The Legislature should act advisedly. It is true that the refundment of the debt at 4} per cent would save the State about $80,250 annually in interest, but cannot we do bet ter ? Georgia lately refunded her dept at 3} per cent, and South Carolina should be able to refund hers at the same rate or at least at 4 per cent. The saving to the State of one-half per cent would be very great and would be well worth furth er effort to obtain. The Legis lature should not be too hasty in accepting Messrs Blair & Co’s offer. It should weigh the mat ter carefully and secure better terms if possible and it does seem as if we may do better. GENERAL NEWS. Item* o' Interest From All Over The World. At a negro dance, near Au gusta, on Saturday night, five negro men were shot. The capital stock of the West ern Union Telegraph Company has been increased to one hun dred million dollars. Gen S. W. Crawford, a gal lant soldier of the Union Army in the late war, is dead. He greatly distinguished himself at Fort Sumter. Chas. Wilson, editor of the Wilson (N. C.) Advance has mysteriously disappeared. No trace of him can be found and foul play is suspected. Four men were found recent ly in Alaska with their heads cut off and their bodies stripped of all clothing. It is supposed to have been the work of In dians. On October 6 a whaling ves sel was destroyed in the Arctic Ocean by being crushed by an ice-berg. Thirty five of the crew were drowned. Only five were saved. The receipts of the American Cotton Seed Oil Company, one of the largest trusts in this country, show for the past year, after deducting all expenses, a profit of $1,853,973. Trains collided in a tunnel, near Galena, 111., on the 2 inst. Both trains were completely de molished. One man was killed immediately and several were seriously injured, two fatally. A panic occurred in a church in Austria on the 1 inst., caused by a false alarm that the steeple was collapsing. In the mad struggle to get out twenty-five people were trampled to death. A letter of C. W. Macune, a leader in the Alliance, has been made public He urges all Al- liancemen to return to the ranks of the order and advises that in the future politics be let alone. Frank M. Conroy, of Brook lyn, was exploring in Utah a few weeks ago, when he fell over a precipice and, landing on a projecting rock, was attacked and clawed to pieces by two eagles. Two masked men held up a train in Alabama near Birming ham on Monday night of last week, and robbed the express car of $705. They also took valuable packages from the mail car. The great strike among the workmen in the cotton mills in England is on. On Saturday 53,000 spinners quit work in Lancashire. If the strike con tinues it is probable that 23,000- 000 spindles will be shut down. In a railroad collision in York shire, England, on Wednesday of last week, nine persons were killed and a number injured. In another railroad collision near Liverpool, on the same day, three persons were killed and fifty injured. ANARCHIS r CALL TO ARMS. STATE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges, And Put in Paragraphs. The South Carolina Methodist Conference will meet in Char leston on the 23 inst. The famous Agricultural Hal! case will be tried in the United States Court in Columbia this month. Charleston had her “Gala Week” last week The city was thronged with people, the crowd being the largest that has ever attended the annual festi val. While a colored man, named J. C. Ravenel, was cleaning out a well at Mt. Pleasant, Berkeley county, on Saturday, the curb ing caved in and he was crushed to death. The little infant of Mr. Robert Wilson, of Sumter county, was burned to death last week. The parents had left the child alone in the room and its clothing caught from a coal that popped from the fire place. A member of a theatre com pany that was playing in Cam den last week asked a citizen of that town to take a drink at a bar. He then asked a negro i o join them, whereupon the citi zen declined the invitation. A fight followed because the actor said that negro was as good as he white man. The C^icsgo Reds Threate’’ Another Uprising. Chicago, Nov. 7.—Hundreds of inflammatory pamphlets have been secretly circulated among anarchists the last three days, and one of them has fallen into the hand of Chief McClaughry. The pamphlets call for a grei t demonstration at Ulrich’s Hall next Friday evening, and the friends of anarchy are told to arm with gun, bomb and torch, and go upon the streets and square accourts with their op pressors. Chief McClaughry has not determined whether he will take any steps to break up the gathering. A Snake Charmer In California. The three laiye rattlesnakes that at tracted so much attention in the window ol Joe Osgood’? saloon are no longei there. Milword, with the Robinson show, dropped into the saloon and wanted to bet cen dollars that he could take the rattle-s out of the window, handle them a id return them safely. Mr. Osgood sail that if they were once out of the wim ow he would not have them put back, and that Milwood could have them. Mi 1 wood entered the saloon and rip]ied the wire screen off the win dow. In a min ite there was not a man in the saloon ex .-epting the snake charm er and the prop ietor, and the later was on top of the b ir with a brass faucet in one hand ant a bung starter in the other. Milwoo 1 picked up one of the snakes, taking hold of it near the mid dle. The snaki rattled vigorously and struck once at his arm, but Milwood dodged its poise nous fangs. In a couple of minutes the snake seemed to take more kindly to the situ ation and Milwood allowed it to creep all over him. After handling it a few minutes he dropped it into a shallow box at his fee. and commenced pull ing the other twn snakes out of the window. They acted very much like the first, but Le soon had them under perfect subject! in. They are fine speci mens, each be ng over three feet in length. Milwo id told The Mascot that he had been bitten by rattlesnakes seven times, and when asked what he used as an antii ote to the poison he said simply tobacco. —Sisson (Cal.) Mascot. Things That A’feet the Hypnotic State. The different is in the climates appear to have great ii fluence on hj-pnotic sus ceptibility. Soithemers and altogether those who have been exposed to the tropical heat ai e much more easily in- thienced than those who live in the tem perate gy frigi 1 zones. Hypnosis not only appears sooner in the tropical cli mates, but it is usually deeper, and the more complicated conditions of the states invariab y apiiear immediately. The hypnotic susceptibility does not de pend on these circumstances alone. There are man;- other conditions which we must find pi rtly outside of the indi vidual and par ly within. It is neces sary to especii lly notice the different tempers of mi id, such as delight, sor row, etc. What also works against coming into the hypnotic state is overexertion, either mentally or bodily, an empty or over loaded stomach, excessive use of certain nourishing substances, liquors, strong spices, coffee o.' tea. All these condi tions more or 1ns prevent or disturb the coming hypnosis. Furthermore, out ward influence:, such as temperature, dress, place of esidence and surround ings, should aT be considered. The room in whicl experiments are to be performed mus. neither be too warm nor too cold.—Chicago Herald. A Scotch ’ 'enant’s Grievances. Mr. Hope Johnstone, of Annandale, who owns one < f the largest estates in the south of Sc itland, has raised an ac tion in the I umfries sheriff’s court against one of 1 is hill tenants which is exciting great i tterest in the north. Mr. Hope Johnston, sues the tenant for pay ment of the las' half year’s rent amount ing to £425. The tenant p’sads that he is entitled to retain the su n duo because the land lord has violate 1 the agreement concern ing the burning of heather, with the ob ject of providing additional cover for game, the resu't bearing that the ten ant’s sheep had no young heather to eat. He also plea .s that he has suffered severe losses in consequence of the landlord’s keej ers having killed down weasles, hawks owls and smaller birds, owing to which there has been a plague of voles, which have eaten np the pas tures. The cas t is regarded throughout Scotland as a test action, and if the ten ant is the wim er, then landlords who sacrifice everyt ling to the preservation of game are lik ly to have a bad time of it.—London Tr ith. A Ncir Lumber Saw. The introduc :ion of a new saw for lumber is to be mted—an upright imple ment, thin like a bandsaw and having direct steam at achment, at each end of it a steam cyli der, each of which has but a single s earn port. The upper piston draws tae saw and the lower piston up and :he lower piston draws the saw and the upper piston down, each piston drawing the saw, but neither of them pushing 11, this causing the saw at all times to be r.gid, so that a very thin saw can be employed. Below the lower cylinder are a heavy pair of balance wheels, these giving a steady as well at uniform motion to the saw, and to these balance wheels are connected a pai.- of rods, the upper ends of which connect with a knuckle joint at the lower end of the saw, thus throw ing the lower end of the saw out as it is going up and against the log as it is coming down. The log carriage is op erated by the same engine that runs the saw.—New Yoik Sun. Electrician Revived from Death. A curious accident has happened at Kohigsberg to a workman employed at the town electrical works. He was oc cupied in fastening some of the conduct ing wires, when his head must have come in contact with some of the upper wires. He rec- ived such a shock thnt he fell senseless among the net of con ductors, and instinctively held on with his hands. They remained hanging so fast that later on they had to be torn loose. His companions (plieved that he was already dead when they released him, but a doctor who was called succeeded in bringing him back to life. The flesh of the man's left hand was entirely burned off, and he had received injuries on his face, bnt it is believed that they will not be fatal.—London News. Hauled Out the Fifth by Horsepower. A gentleman vbo resides in Bolivar reports that a large sawfish was cap tured a few days ago near Rollover which measure. 18 feet in length, 8 feet 8 inches length if saw, 0 feet wide and 2 feet thick froi i dorsal to ventral fin. It got inside th< bar that runs parallel with the penins da, and not being al>)p to get out was aught, and after being made fast will a hawser it took two horses and fou." men to pull the fish ashore.—Galveston News. A Thirasand Cmttl. Darned. Clausen Bros, have received w5rd from the superintendent of their stock range in the Bear River valley that more than 1,000 head of fat cattle have lieen de- tt><>A-d by ttfe great forest fires that have for weeks been sweeping over that region. Niue houses and four cabins were also destroyed, and three herdsmen fatally burned. The cattle were feeding in a small valley. A strong wind suddenly blew a sea iff fire down upon them. The -an imals stam]ieded, but they ran in the wrong direction. Before the cowboys Could turn the maddened animals the herd w as surrounded by flames. The cattle huddled in the center of a clear ing, about a mile square in extent, and the cowboys thought they might remain quiet and eventually escape. Showers of cinders and sparks fell upon the herd, however, and presently a steer ran amuck among its companions, goring them with its horns and bellowing frightfully. The other animals broke ana ran in all directions. Many of them dashed into the midst of the flames, where they perished in horrible agony. Others ran into the burning forest near where the cabins had stood, and paused to drink at a water hole, but the fluid was scalding hot, and the poor brutes, maddened by their intensified sufferings, viciously charged each other and every other living object in sight. To save their lives the four cowboys who were within the fiery circle at tempted to force their horses through a narrow belt of blazing greasewood, the shrubs standing about two feet high. Before they had gone ten feet the ani mals had inhaled flames and dropped to the earth, their riders being compelled to run back to their starting place.— Boise City Letter. A Canine Football Champion. At the conclusion of the game between *he Harliorne and Handsworth football teams at Harborne, on Saturday, Mr. H. B. Lowe allowed his dog, which is a beautiful black and tan Australian ter rier, to play the victorious team for about a quarter of an hour. As soon as the dog was brought on to the field he seemed anxious to get at the ball, and when all was ready and he was let loose among the team, in a few seconds he got the ball, which was covered by a net, firmly between his teeth. He dodged the players with great agility, and when surrounded held the ball tightly between his fore feet, and try as the players would to obtain i>ossession their efforts were in vain. Then seeing an opiwirtnnity, he would dash off toward the goal stumps with his two legged opponents in hot pursuit. Passing, dribbling, and long kicking did not prevent him getting the ball, and once the net was between his teeth it was futile to try by kicking or pulling to release the ball. After about a quar ter of an hoar’s “play,” which caused the spectators much amusement, the net on the ball wad torn and sport was aban doned, “neither side having scored."— Birmingham Gazette. The Cholera hear, la Finland. Abo town advertised for a cholera doctor, and offered a good salary. Not a single application was received, al though the place swarms with medical students. Helsingfors advertised in a similar way and had two applicants Wherever you turn you hear advice to undergo no risk. One assures you that fruit must be avoided; another that you must keep your body well protected by flannels, and a third advises only boiled water as both drink and food! As a matter of fact, most families have adopted strict measures in regard to eat ing, although I can never think that the universal summer dish here, consisting of sour milk, with ginger and sugar, can be wholesome. We are all very careful not to catch a cold and to frequent baths. Outside Helsingfors are two large hos pitals, with beds, nurses, medicine, am bulances, etc., in perfect readiness, and there are besides to be disinfectant sta tions, and a central medical depot in the middle of the town, where doctors are in attendance day and night. The rail way officials have fitted up special hos pital cars, which have a weird look, all in white, with a big red cross outside.— Helsingfors Cor. London News. A Village Aboard the Obdam. One of the largest exhibits for the World's Columbian exposition has ar rived by the steamship Obdam, of the Netherland-American company, at New York. The shipment consists’of a Ger man village. One-half is now on board the Obdam, while the other half will come by another of the Netherlands steamers. The first half, comfirising 6,500 pieces, will be erected on the grounds of the World’s fair at Chicago. The village will occupy a space of 17,500 square feet, and consists of various build ings, markets and shops, a church, town hall and hotels, all in the style of the Sixteenth century. There will be a castle containing an tiquities, arms, etc., from German mu seums. Celebrated pieces from freua the royal German museum at Mayence will be exposed to view. The fashion of dress, decorations and the entire outfit will offer ns an exact representation of the development of German culture as known to us by history. The village will be called Chicago.—New York Let ter. An Old Woman. The right to call herself the oldest woman in Brooklyn probably belongs to Mrs. Mary Sohultzing, a German, who lives in a little frame building in the rear of a tenement house on Park place, near Rochester avenue. As near as she and her descendants can figure out, she is now between 103 and 1C5 years of age. She lives with her youngest son, who is now nearly seventy-five years of age. Mrs. Schultzing was born in a village in Germany, near Berlin, but the exact year she does not remember. She has a small silver ring, given her when she was a child, and it has engraved upon it “1790.” The figures are almost illeg ible, and a word which was in front of them has been entirely rubbed out. Mrs. Schultzing was married in 1812 and came to America fifty-nine years ago. During her married life she had seventeen children.—New York Times. An Interesting Salt. A cure of Lee Aubiers established a sort of clerical table d’hote for those wishing to take communion. Whoever desired to communicate had to dine and pay. Three young women resisted the charge, and upon being refused com munion their fathers appeared to the court, which decided in their favor, and they followed this np by an action against the cure for damages for refus ing to officiate when requested. The cure was condemned to pay an indemni ty of 125 francs to each of the fathers.— New York Sun. Shipping Trade Is Dali. It was lately quoted in British ship ping circles, as a proof of the depression affecting the shipping trade that, a splen did four masted iron bark of 2,000 tons register, owned on the Clyda. came into port from Australia in ballast, was un able to get a cargo, and sailfcl back for the antipodes again with the same bal last she brought with her. Australian Shark and Dlvsr. On one occasion a big shark came alongside me where 1 was working. 1 stopped, of course, and stepped back qui etly to let him pass. But he did not. He came nearer. I then thought he was curious, but soon found that an other feeling than curvjsity was moving him. As I retreated he still advanced, until I found myself jammed np against the rock. I could retreat no farther, aul yet the brute carw ou determinedly. But instead of approaching me with his long nose—for you don’t see his jaws— he turned his side and began to rub up against me. I had a small “jumper” in my hand, which I held with the point outward against his skin, as I did not wish to have his rough skin scoring along my dress. It was something like what a cow would be rubbing against you. The iron on his skin was, however, the very thing he wanted, as he soon gave me to understand. I was kept there at least half an hour scratching that monster with the sharp iron. Hn took it like a pig, bending his body and turning over on his side so as to present^ fresh sur face to the jumper. I suppose he must have felt easier for the operation, for after a time he moved away. I had one or two further visits from him on following days, on each of which I was obliged to scratch him for a time I think he must have recognized me as a kindly and effectual scratcher. I im agine he was suffering from nnrae para sitical or skin disease, to which he may have fallen a victim. Otherwise I might be in that scratching billet still.—“A Diver” in Chambers' Journal. Irifth Spies and Informers. The recorded emoluments of these Irish informers were enormous. As to their indirect profits it would be idle to speculate. One Reynolds, a spy of very secondary importance, received on March 4, 1799, a sum of £5,000 from the secret service money, and was further gratified with a secret pension of some hundreds a year. He afterward ob tained the office of British postmaster at Lisbon, the emoluments of which amounted during his four years of serv ice to nearly £6,000. He was subse quently ap]x>inted to more than one well paid consulship, and at length, re tiring in middle life from the public service of his country, he chose Palis as his final place of abode, and enjoyed his pension to the day of his death, having drawn from the exchequer of a hated government not less in all than £45,000. Armstrong is said to have received close on£30,000 for kfs information; and Magan, who took up the business as a needy barrister, left over £14,000 to his sister. Higgins, who was not even an informer at first hand, but a species of information agent or spy keeper, began life as a panper and a “sham squire," and after many years of free and easy living in Dublin, maintaining a reputa tion for that liberal hospitality so neces- sary-to his success in his profession, died worth no less than £40,000. Very few were the real squires or peers of Ireland for the matter of that who left so con siderable a sum of money behind them in the early days of the present century. —Edinburgh Review. A Crooked Railway. There are few more interesting en gineering achievements than the little narrow gauge railroad running to Cara cas, the capital of Venezuela, from its seaport, La Guayra. The distance be tween the two cities, us the crow flies, supposing for the moment that he could fly through the mountains, is only six miles, but the railway connecting them is twenty-three miles in length, and con sequently twists and turns on itself. The road runs in zigzag fashion up the mountain to an altitude of about 5,OX) feet above its starting point and then de scends some 1,500 feet in the same man ner into the valley of Caracas. Twenty-two thousand rails were used in laying the track, and of these over 18,000 are bent. It is jestingly said that the engineer almost died of a broken heart because he could invent no excuse for bending the remaining 4,000. He did his best, however, and no one who has to ride over the line and find him self shaken at every one of the 846 sharp twists which the track makes will find it in his heart to condemn the poor man for not making a perfect job. Two pas senger trains pass over the road daily, leaving La Guayra at 8®) in the morn ing and at 3:30 in the afternoon, making the journey in two hours and a half. This is a speed, exclusive of stops, of not quite ten miles an hour.—Pearson's Weekly. CIom Observer, of Nature. The most successful beast tamers are generally small, wiry fellows, with plen ty of nerve and a good stock of trade se crets, derived from the close study of wild animals. In the latter respect sav ages, with their outdoor mode of life, have a considerable advantage over their civilized rivals. In the Chilean Andes the naturalist Tschudi made the ac quaintance of a creole farmer who con fessed that he had experimented for sev eral years before he succeeded In cap turing a live alpaca. He had imitated the traps of the In dians, their method of fixing them in the sand of the river banks, their pre caution in obliterating the traces of their footsteps, but all in vain till an Indian renegade revealed the secret—namely, that the alpacas select their drinking places where there is an audible ripple in the current of the river, perhaps for the same reason that cows prefer a brook to a pond and a running spring to a sluggish creek. The murmuring of thb stream seemed to suggest the idea of purer and cooler water, and where the current was slow the Indians contrived to produce a ripple by an artificial obstruction.—San Fran cisco Chronicle. Lonf Winded Fogies. "The Scythians," said Sydney Smith, “ate their grandparents when they be came troublesome and told long stories.” Who knows whether the Eumenidee may not suffer a remnant of these useful Scythians to survive even unto onr day to be a terror to long winded fogies, male and female? I met at dinner recently an old fogy who I am sure has his Scythian waiting for him. He had been harrying the company with stupid remarks about natural history, asking questions, too, that would turn the stomach of a school inspector. At length, in that peculiar tone of voice in which theological ques tions are uttered, our fogy said, “Hac an oyster brains?” "Certainly,” replied our host, “for an oyster knows when to shut up.”—Temple Bar. Gettlug a “Scoop.” I remember seeing a war correspond- ent of a Boston paper at the battle of Bull Rnn. Bullets were flying thick as hailstones, and shells were cracking as though pandemonium had broken loose, bnt the correspondent kept skirmishing around in the thick of it all, notebook in hand. Our major bawled out to him, “Lie down, you fool—you'll be killed.” “Maybe so,” he replied, “but I'm get ting the d—dest scoop on the other papers ever you saw I” A little thing like getting killed doesn't worry your thoroughbred news gatherer when there's a scoop in sight.—Interview in St Louis Glol*e-Democrat The M Bit ME PIjM nm WORTH READING!
