We want to put a question or two to the men who. supported Oovcrnor Tillman so enthusiastically in 1890, and ask them to answer honestly to themselves. Suppose Captain Tillman as a can didate had told them from the stump that members and connections of a single family of this State were oc cupying five public offices and draw ing among them salaries aggregating more than $13,000? Would not that have been denounced as an outrage and an illustr ition of the existence of an “oligarchy?” Geo. I). Tillman is representative in Congress at $5,- 000 a year and, wo feel bound to say, is worth every dollar of it; his son is clerk of his committee at $2,000; a son-in-law, we are told, is private secret ary to Senator Irby at some where from $1,500 to $1,800; Gov ernor Tillman is Governor at $3,500 a year; a gentleman who is said to be a near connection of his has a clerk ship in the lunatic asylum at $1,000 or $1,200. Now all these appointees may be first-rate men. We know nothing to the contrary. The point we wish to develop is that some of the very things so much row was made about in the former governments are being done in this present era of supposed “reform.” Suppose under Governor liiehurd- son’s administration, for instance, a member of the house had been given a clerkship in the Comptrollers office and had held lioth places, resigning his clerkship while the legislature was in session and taking the leader ship of the administration forces on the floor? Can we not imagine how d'udidate Tillman would have harp ed on that and rung the changes on it? Ask any member of the ifouse or Senate you may happen to Know if that very thing was not done in Columbia this winter. Suppose the management of the lunatic asylum a few years ago had from all the herds and cattle in the State picked out the herd of Gover nor I’ichardson or Governor Sheppard or Governor Hagood from which to purchase twelve milch eows at ivlG.Hti each? Can not all of us imagine with what a sneering face Candidate Tillman would have recited the story from the stump? We all remember how freely the railroad commission ers were spoken of as being “tamed” and how “incipient corruption” and something being rotten in the State of Denmark were talked in tile cam paign of 1890. Very little was said about such matters until Captain Tillman and his friends broached and dwelt on every instance of the kind. They are not very important, they are not in any way criminal, in ordinary cir cumstances they would hardly be worthy of attention. What we want men to ask themselves, however, is whether Governor Tillman ought not to Ik- tried by the standards and rules established in our politics by Candi date Tillman? Whether the man who does or allows to be done the very things he rebuked other for do ing ought to be rewarded, honored and trusted?—Greenville News. Chlltlmi file from Drink. Sensible Talk by Kill Arp. A youth had lietter not learn to write if he has no moral training to keep him from forging a note. He had better know no bookkeeping if his principles incline him to false en tries and embezzlement. There is a radieal defect in the public school system, especially in the North, where teaching is an ice clad and ironclad business—all mind and no heart. They have only t per cent of illitera cy, while the south averages 2-1, but their convictions for crimes outnum ber ours five to one, according to whit; population. When my daughter tells me that Ella or Lou Mary is a good scholar, 1 always ask is she a good girl, is she kind, does she know the golden rule, or is she vain and conceited? Some of the smartest scholars I know are the meanest.—I don't care how smart a boy is in figures, if he will cheat another boy in trade or impose upon those who are smaller than he is. I still love the boys who were good to me. Most of them are dead, but 1 love to recall their kindness in my memory. Kindness makes a deeper impression than .•ichol.lr-ship.cM i i j I fear that this feature in our schools has too low upl;iee. iLshould have the highest. Scholarship does not make good citizens, but morality and principles do. Is he honest? Is he truthful? Is he strickly temper ate? is he willing to work? are the questions tin t are asked when a young man seeks employment. Will the teaeher teach these things, should be asked of every applicant for a place in our schools. A Lust Train. One or two Saturday nights ago, when it was very foggy and dark, the train from Charleston due here at 9 o’clock p. in., ran in on the track of the M. and A. road. In due time the train pulled out and went flying down the line toward. I’inewood, the., engineer being' under (Jje. im pression llutt he was on his way to Wedgelield.

The notion in many people's minds of that which constitutes ministerial courage is strangely shallow. Many ministers even in" d ike its real nature and its most authentic manifesta tions. To denounce from the pulpit with novel vehemence of phrase some powerfully entrenched ahuse, or some vice widely prevalent in a community, is esteemed magnificent hardihood on the part of a minister. Deputations for heroism have hecn Imill upon SENS VTION A I. UI.rSTKIS about the wickedness of politicians and lurid delineations of social de pravity. '! he preacher gets himself talked of as a man who isn't afraid to speak out, w! o calls a spade a spade, who goes for sin and sinners with a sharp stick and without re spect of persons. He often attracts large congregations, who listen with relish while he berates other people, and rat her en joy being nuyde to squirm [occasionally themselves. We do not question either the sin cerity of conviction that prompts these pulpit tirades or the good they may accomplish. No doubt, lively impressions are made and impulses stirred which lead sometimes to prac tical efforts towards redress and refor mation. I.ul, after all, SCCli ItHKTOKK’AI, HI! A V Eli Y, however sincere and well intentioued, is very far from being the highest and most effective sort of ministerial courage. The excitement of public speech, the agreeable thrill of "shock ing, mi audience, stimulate this kind of audacity and render it exhilarating to the speaker. The real test of courage for a minister is in a sphere of action far less <con.-piouous and far more important.

Near Hamburg, Cl., lives George H. Daniels, known as deacon Dan iels. He lives the life of a hermit among the hills and has sonic income from his industry, which he spends almost wholly in I hi; works of charity. He has it wonderful local reputation a> a prophet and is said to have made many predictions of events, which invariably came to pass. The deacon Inis been making recently some rat ltd!

In this storm he predicts the loss of many vessels along the coast of Maine. Another ssiorm he has booked for the latter part of February. This will last three days, and will equal in severity the blizzard of 1888.

He made promises that he knew when he was making he could not fulfill, i Ie accused honorahle men of things w hich as soon as lit- was elected he committed himself. Ben Tillman, in my opinion, is the worst enemy the poor man has, and the sooner he is gotten rid of, the bet ter for t he people. Now is the time for every one who is striving tor an uonest government to begin work, and continue it until the work is completed, and the victory won. 1 venture to say that the campaign of 92 will he even worse than 7(1. M i are dealing with an enemy who will risk everything for office and w ho will take it no matter by which means it is gotten. Now is the time for consideration and action; now is the time to put up a good, honest, intelli gent man, one who can face Tillman and “down" him on every argument. South Carolina has been on the verge of destruction ever since Tillman has been in office and if the people do not come together and elect some honest man to succeed the imposter that now rules, then destruction is hound to come. The men who re deemed the State from Republicanism in the dark and trying da vs of 7(> must now in the terrible days of 92 wrench it from Tillmnnism.
