TILLMAN VS. DONALDSON.
j3ome time ago Governor Till
man asked President Cleveland
not to appoint four men, whom
,he named, to office. One of the
men on the Governor’s black
list was Hon. M. L. Donaldson,
of Greenville, president of the
State Alliance. Several county
alliances, as soon as it was
known that Mr. Donaldson was
black-listed, passed resolutions
asking the Governor to give his
reasons for his action. To these
resolutions the Governor replied
last week and made a poor ex
planation.
His first charge is that Mr.
Donaldson favored Cleveland’s
nomination at the National Con
vention. Mr. Donaldson’s only
offence in this consists in that
he was more far-sighted than
the rest of the Tillmanites. He
saw, what the others were too
blind to see then though they
see it now, that Cleveland is the
greatest man in the Democratic
party and was the very man to
lead us to a glorious victory. It
is “gall”, to say the least, for
the Governor to ask Mr. Cleve
land not to appoint Mr. Donald
son to office because the latter
had favored him (Cleveland).
Another fault the Governor
finds with Mr. Donaldson is that
he promised, if elected president
of the alliance, not to run for
office. We do not know any
thing about this, for when it
comes to the alliance we are
not “in it”. It is a queer pro
ceeding, though, for the alli
ance to forbid one of its shining
lights from running for office.
The trouble, heretofore, has
been that the alliance could not
be restrained in its eagerness to
put its men in office, thus mak
ing the order a political ma
chine.
Here’s another of the Govern
or’s objections to Mr. Donald
son : That gentleman, while
Senator from Greenville, insert
ed in a railroad bill a clause
giving the railroads the right to
appeal to the Courts from the
decision of the Commissioners.
This, the Governor alleges, is
one of the reasons why he ve
toed the bill. Every fair mind
ed man knows that in this Mr.
Donaldson was right. He
sought to give the railroads one
of the inalienable rights of a
Democratic government — the
right to seek protection from
the Courts. A denial of the
right of appeal toj the Courts
means tyranny; yet we boast of
living in a free country.
The Governor says Mr. Don
aldson is a “self-seeker.” We
do not think this is altogether a
true bill. If Mr. Donaldson
sought only self advancement
in South Carolina, forgetting
wholly his patriotism, he should
have villified Cleveland instead
of supporting him and should
have shouted himself hoarse for
Ocalaism, Omahaism and all
other “isms” of doubtful De
mocracy. He would then have
been in the swim. The more
eccentric and loose is a man in
his political principles the more
in favor is he with South Caro
lina Democracy as at present
constituted. If Mr. Donaldson
had been a “self-seeker” and at
the same time a wise man, he
would not have stuck as close
as he did (and that was not very
close) to Straightout Democ
racy.
However, it is not our fight.

The league claims not to fight

ramshackle old prison stood very nearly

THE WAGE WORKERS.
The first State convention of
the Wage Workers’ Democratic
League was held in Columbia
on Wednesday of last week. It
was a large and enthusiastic
meeting. The members appear
ed thoroughly in earnest and
harmony prevailed. All classes
of workingmen, the farmers by-
no means being few, were rep
resented.
The chief purpose of the
league, as we take it to be from
the speeches made at the con-
membership of the league. It
is entirely tro early to predict
with any d gree of certainty
what part ti e league will play
in State politics. The declara
tion of principles and the ad
dress to the people are both ad
mirable, anc, if the league will
only faithfully execute the
pledges con tained therein, it
may be the means of settling
the unfortui ate political fight
in South Cai dina. If it should
do this, the league will be a
blessing to i s all.
THE DENMARK LYNCHING.
The lyncl ing of the negro,
John Petenon, at Denmark,
Barnwell county, was a horrible
affair—horr. jle, because, prim
arily all lyi chings are wrong;
secondly an 1 more especially,
because thei 3 are strong reasons
to believe th it an innocent man
was killed. Peterson told a
pretty straight story and the
young lady who was assaulted
and her brot icr who was pre
sent when tl e assault was made
both, when brought face to face
with the acc ised, said he was
not the rig t man. That the
young lady subsequently said
that upon hinking over the
matter she v as satisfied that he
was the rigli o man does not re
move the do ibt as to Peterson's
guilt. She said he was not
guilty and hen said he was.
Which state nent was correct?
It is possible that the lynchers
have the bio >d of an innocent
man upon th 3ir souls.
Law-ahidi ig citizens stand
aghast at C overnor Tillman's
action in t ie matter. When
Peterson h ard that he was
wanted for t le crime he went
to Columbi. and voluntarily
sunendered himself to the Gov
ernor protesting his innocence.
He asked th< Governor for the
protection, which as a citizen
of South C( rolina he had a
right to dem ind and which the
Governor un ler his oath should
have given him. But the Gov
ernor turned him over to an in
furiated mob, composed of men
thirsting for blood and some of
whom had given expression to
the sentiment that whether the
right man .vas found or not
somebody ha 1 to hang for the
crime.
The Gover tor’s excuse is very
lame. He says that if Peterson
had confesse I his guilt he would
have protect ad him. Suppose
that Petersoi was innocent, did
the Governoi want him to say
he was guilt when he was not?
Besides, if tl 3re is any distinc
tion to he dr; wn in the protec
tion of priso: ers (which we are
not ready to idmit),the e would
be more reas n to protect a man
who protests his innocence than
one who con' esses his guilt.

“Full many a gem of purest ray serene,”
“To waste its sweetness on the desert
air," “This pleasing, anxious being,"
"The paths of glory lead but to the
grave" and "Where ignorance is bliss

Kick- That Come High.
Few people realize that there are other
eggs besides those of hens which have
enormous commercial value. In Eng
land so called "plovers’ eggs,” which are
really those of lapwings, are sent to the
city markets from the rural districts by
hundreds of thousands. They are es
teemed a great delicacy and fetch a very
high price, the use of them being for
that reason confined almost exclusively
to the aristocracy and other luxurious
persons.
Being only about the size of pigeons
eggs, a good many of them are required
to make a dish. Men make a business
of gathering them from the nests in
marshes and wet fields.—Boston Tran
script

Harris Lithia Water,
HARRIS’ LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C.
After a long and varied experience in the use of mineral waters’ from many
sources, both foreign and domestic, I am fully persuaded that the Harris Lith
ia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the kidney and
bladder unequalled by auy other water of which 1 have-made trial.
This opinion is based upon observation of its effects on my patients for the
past three years, during which time I have prescribed it freely and almost
uniformly with benefit in the medicable maladit s above mentioned.
When failure to relieve has occurred, I have mputed it to insufficient use
of the water, for my experience teaches me that from one to too quarts daily
should be taken from two to four weeks, to secure its full remedial effects.
