We have (like everybody else
in South Carolina) the very
highest respect for Maj. Theo
dore Q. Barker, but we cannot
help thinking he made a mis
take when he precipitated the
dramatic episode between Sen
ator Tillman and himself which
occurred at the conclusion of
the bitter debate they had on
Thursday night concerning the
short-comings of the city of
Charleston. According to the
newspaper report:
“Major Barker walked to
Senator Tillman’s desk and
shook hands with him. As soon
as the incident was noticed the
Convention cheered it heartily,
and amid much applause Sen
ator Tillman asked Major Bar
ker to stand up. Locking Ma
jor Barker's arm in his, Senator
Tillman said: *1 want to tell the
Convention and the people of
the St^te that Charleston and
Edgefield counties have agreed
to stay in the same State and
be members of the same Com*
monwealth.* Amid much ap
plause and the greatest good
feeling Major Barker and Sen
ator Tillman sat down.”
All this was, of course, right
pretty; but while we are the
very last to advocate the har
boring of grudges or the foster
ing of any feelings of animos
ity, “consistency is a jewel” too
precious to be sacrificed lightly.
The speakers either meant what
they said—the one in his intem
perate abuse of the metropolis
of the State, the other in his de
fense of it—or they did not
mean it. If the latter, they
were wasting the time of the
Convention in “playing to the
galleries”: if the former, a
quiet, unobtrusivere conciliation
would have better answered the
purpose, after the sentiments
that had been expressed on both
sides, than the tablr.au vivant
which was presented for thede
lectation of the Convention. In
other words, sufficient "cooling
time” had not elapsed, in our
opinion, to warrant the transi
tion from the decided warmth
which had characterized the
debate to the public “locking of
arms” and all the rest of it.
NO •‘SOP" FOR THE REPUBLICANS
The Convention on Friday
refused to pass the amendment
reading: “Each of the two po
litical parties casting the high
est number of votes at the pre
ceding election shall have rep
resentation on the board of man
agers of election at each polling
precinct and on the board of
canvassers in each county.”
The strangest thing in con
nection with the failure of tjie
amendment was that it was
warmly advocated by Senator
Tillman. It is true that some
of the grounds he took in advo
cating it were not of the high
est. He intended it as a sort of
off set to the “understanding”
clause—a “sop” thrown to the
Republican party, that might
have the effect of relieving that
clause of some of the odium
that will necessarily attach to
it in the eyes of the rest of the
Nation. Nevertheless, the
amendment was a good one,
and it would have been the
part of wisdom to have adopted
it.
RELIGION AND POLITICS.
The latest phase of our very
complex political situation in
South Carolina is the injection
of religion into the municipal
campaign in Charleston in the
shape of a vigorous effort which
is being made to control the situa
tion by the “American Protest
ant Association.” The “A. P.
A.”, as it is colloquially known,
was organized for warfare
against the encroachments of
the Roman Catholic Church,
and has long been a power in
the West, though it is some
thing new for South Carolina.
According to the commonly ae-
ceptsd belief, polities and reli
gion are two things which have
never been known to "mix”,
and, in our judgment, our Char
leston friends would do well to
abandon the experiment of try
ing to make them do so.
A CRUSHING CONDEMNATION.
In the Constitutional Conven
tion on Friday, during the pro-
gessr of the debate on the suf
frage question, Mr. Parrott, (to
quote from the News and Cour
ier report of the proceedings),
“said that the Convention was
making a Constitution for the
people foe South Carolina and
not Massachusetts or other
States. He charged Dem
ocratic defeat to Cleveland.”
Poor Mr. Cleveland!
"Turn the rascals out”—the
familiar party-cry—may be ap
plied to microbes as well as to
men. The germs of disease that
lurk in the blood are "turned
out” by Ayer’s Sarsaparilla as
effectually as the old postmas
ters are displaced by a new ad
ministration.
