TRYING TO “GET TOGETHER." No one will question the cor rectness of the assertion that while there are, of course, ex treinists on both sides of the two'political camps into>hich the white people of this State are divided, a large majority of those] of both factions are in favor of a cessation of hostilites. and the restoration of peace within our borders if that dt sideratum can be secured in any honorable way. Both sides must be willing to “give and take”, or the breach'will never be healed. We were placed here alongside of each other in this world, and all our interests are common. All the commer cial relations that ,we sustain towards each other and towards the outside world have been in juriously affected by the quarrel ling and bickering in which we have been engaged for the past four years. Let it continue for four years more, and we are a ruined people. The near approach of the Con stitutional Convention, and the many and great dangers with which it will be attended under existing political conditions, has made the “pacificators,’’ as they have been denominated, more active than ever, and meetings of all kinds, most of them, however, having in view the sole'object of bringing about a Constitutional Convention that will secure good govern ment, have been going on in Columbia during the past three or four weeks. Some time ago a committee of free conference, consisting of one anti-Tillmanite from each county, was invited to assemble in Columbia for the purpose of discussing the situation. Most of the counties were represent ed at that meeting, and the committee appointed a sub-com mittee of five to treat with some of the leaders on the other side. After a conference held with Senator Tillman, Governor fevans. Speaker Jones and Sen ator Eiford, this sub-committee made a report of what they had done at a meeting of the full committee held at Wright’s Hotel last Monday night. On that occasion an address was prepare^ and issued to the peo ple of the State setting forth a basis of compromise on the fol lowing terms: First. That each county acting for itself as to the question of election, by primary or otherwise, as deemed best by the county executive committee, shall give each faction equal represen tation in the convention. 8econd.That in those counties where primary elections are held all persons . JMillicipstjfig in the same shall take a pledge to abide by the result a nd sup port the nominees at the general elec tion. In counties where the nomina tions are made otherwise than by pri mary both factions in snch county shall be pledged in like manner to support such nominees. Third.That in all counties where the delegates shall be nominated by pri mary the manager and clerk of such primary election at every voting pre cinct or every club shall be eoually divided between the factions. Fourth. That the delegates from both factions shall be selected with the understanding that they will be pledged to the following principles: (a.) Snch qualification of the suffrage as will guarantee white supremacy, and that no white man shall be dis franchised except for crime. (b.) A constitution of principles, and not dealing in legislation, but leaving the Legislature full control of the free schools and requiring the Legislature to liberally support them. The Con •titution shall not provide a system Of police regulation, but this and all kindred qnestiona shall be regarded aa within the scope of Legislative au thority. (c) 'Ihe Constitution when adopted ■hall not be submitted to the people, •uch a course being unnecessary if the convention be representative of the whole white people of the State. (d.) The convention shall provide for the preservation of the homestead. We cannot say that all of the terms of this compromise are acceptable to us. It is doubtful, however, whether there is to be found a member of either of the factions to whom every single one of the conditions would ho acceptable. Under the circum stances, it would be strange if such a man could be found. The effort is being made to form common ground on which all the white people of the State can stand together. Consider ing the great diversity of opin ion that exists on political ques tions, it follows naturally that in order to meet on this common ground one man will have to yield one thing and another an other. The address of the “conserva tive” Democrats says that “honest and fair elections” ought to be provided for, to gether with “such qualification of the suffrage as will guarantee white supremacy and that no white man shall be disfranchis ed except for crime.” As a practical question, it does not seem exactly clear to us just now how a Constitution can be framed which will cover all this ground, and, at the same time, be in accord with the spirit of the United States Constitution. This, tehrefore, would seem to be the greatest stumbling-block in the way of the proposed com - promise. Let us hope, however, that someway of removingit may yet be found, and that there will be nothing to interfere with the consummation of the pro posed compromise; for, in our judgment, those who are trying to effect it are on the right line, and if they succeed ultimately in bringing the people together again, they will perform a sig nal service for the State, and one which will never be forgot ten. Webster'* Advice to Winthrop. Daniel Webster, the greatest man cradled on New England soil in any century, at the goal of his career, looking backward and remembering his own ex perience, thus advised Robert 0. Winthrop, then at the very threshold of that public life which sheds such imperishable lustre on on his name. “Winthrop, if I were as young Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junc tion City, 111. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles Dr. king’s N e w Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suf fered from a dreadful cold, ap proaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is nat urally thankful. It is such re sults, of which these are sam ples, that prove the wonderful efficacy ot this medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at Willcox & Co’s Dnij Store.

I am not allowed to shave the regular customers yet. I only shave strangers!” —Fliegende Bluet ter. as you are, and just beginning my Congressional career, I would adopt a different course from that which we are all pur suing in regard to speeches. “I have lost my faith in long, labored efforts, to be printed a week after their delivery, and to be scattered over the country pamphlets which nobody ever reads. I would speak short and often. I would take some part in every important discussion, and I would prepare every word which I proposed to say, and write it out beforehand, so as to give a copy to the reporters the mement I sat down. In this way the next morning’s paper would let my constituents and the country see and read pre cisely what I had said.” • * * Can this advice not be given with equal emphasis in relation to advertising? If the great orator makes one mighty effort on some stated occasion and then lapses into silence, he is lost in the swift tide of events the remainder of the time. Heard often, he is constantly in the public thought. So, if the merchant haf one grand dis play and does nothing the rest of the year, or only appears in print occasionally, people forget and turn elsewhere the rest of the year. But let the daily col umns proclaim his bargains in an attractive and novel manner, and the tide of trade to his coun ters is ceaseless in its flow. It is never permitted to ebb; is charged with constant success. As Webster said to Winthrop, i “Speak, speak,” we say to busi- jness men, “Advertise, adver tise.” Be heard often in the right places and thousands of readers will become your daily audience, never forgetting when to trade. Advertise: It pays! It has helped make the “mer chant princes” of our land, as | oratory has proclaimed its fore most statesman. Sudden Chinge of Mind. Lawyer Gassaway, of San Antonio, Texas, was appealing most eloquently to the jury on behalf of his client, who was being tried for larceny. The lawyer’s defense was so thrilling and pathetic that even the prs- oner himself was moved to tears and was wiping his eyes with a handkerchief when his attorney turned and asked the jury to gaze upon the honest features of his client and say if they could believe that a man with snch an honest face could be guilty of theft. Suddenly the lawyer paused, gasped for breath and ejaculated, “Well, I’ll be blowed if that blankety blank scoundrel hasn’t swiped my I pocket handkerchief! — Texas Siftings. E. M. Johnson, a Kentucky magistrate, doesn’t fool away any time in marrying couples that come before him. Here is his formula: “W’ve met here to p’rform the sacred rites of mat’mony. Join hands.
