DARLINGTON, S. C.
Friday, April 28,1893.
Mr. 8. Frank Parrott is the author
ized agent of The Herald. He will
solicit subscriptions and advertise
ments and receipt for money.
If Governor Tillman does not look
out he will have to' give the palm
for profanity to his friend Senator
Irby.
Why don’t the Sumter Freeman
and the Abbeville Medium trot out
some of their female suffragists and
have them appointed os county dis
pensers ?
If some tribe of savages, in the
western wilds will elect Senator Irby
their chief, we would gladly wte for
the State to give them an annual ap
propriation, os long as they kept him
with them.
The prohibitionists asked the
Legislature for water and it gave
them whiskey, and it Iwks as if they
are going to drink it, in order that
the cause of temperance may be ad
meed by making the dispensary t
success.
We believe that every man that is
appointed as a dispenser, even if he
has never touched it before, will if he
holds the position for any length of
time, wind up by becoming a drunk
ard. There is notone man in a thorn
sand who can handle whiskey all the,
time, and not drop into the habit of
using it.*
Thera seems to be a real epidemic
of newspaper controversy going on
itt the State, and it is about time for
All the editors to be put under peace
bondf. Even our good uatured
friend Colonel Hoyt, of the Green
yille Mountaineer, has put on his
Wat paint and is taking his contenv
petary, the News, severely to task on
the prohibition question. We don’t
exchange With the News but its edi
tor must have been peculiarly exas
perating in order to have aroused the
ire of Mi neighbor,
Mr. Trailer, the State barkeeper
fall returned from bis Western Lip
and laye he will have a car load of
eamplesin a few days from which to
Mliet his stock. A oar load of
diSefent kinds of whiskey can do a
heap of barm and it ii very earnestly
Ml be hoped that Mr. Trailer will be
ittretw]/careful in regard to the
diipoeitlon of itt to" If he lets the
felki in Columbia hare acsess to it
Ike poliee fores will bare a lively
time in keeping them in order.
The Denmark Lynching.
The lynching of the negro Peter
son, at lieu mark, when there was
very grave doubts us to his guilt, was
an outrage upon' justice and every
man engaged in it ought to be pun
ished. The offeuse of w hich he was
suspected of committing was one of
peculiar atrocity, and had his guilt
been clearly established, there m ! ght
have been some excuse for vengeance
being wreaked upon him by the hands
of an incensed mob, but his execution
under the cu'cuinstances was inexcus
able and is a striking evidence of the
utter disregard of law that prevails
in the State. We would not for any
consideration, do Governor Tillman
any injustice, but when all the cir
cumstances of the case are considered
it is impossible to escape from the
conviction that he could have pre
vented this lynching and have saved
both himself and the people of the
State from stigma of disgrace inci
dent to this act of violence. This is
an issue that must be squarely met
and our people must decide whether
suspected crimioals shall be tried by
due process of law, or turned over to
the tender mercies of an infuriated
mob. The decision must be made
between law and order on oue side
and border ruffianism on the other. If
mob violence, under any pretext, is
to prevail, then the life of no man is
safe, and the quieker this fact is rec
ognized the better it will be for all
our people. There is, however, very
little hope of a better condition of
affairs when the chief executive of
the State, who is sworn to uphold the
laws fails to do his duty.
It would be a good idea, to some of
eur friends who belisvs In spiritual-
ilm to hare a seance, and call up the
fjpitfts of Jefferson, Jackson and
some other study Democrats, and let
them decide as to Who are and who
Iff not good members of the party,
Let It be understood that their decis
ion is final and that those who can’t
make l good showing will join some
Other party. The only trouble about
this suggestion is that Senator Irby
might enter a protest and decline the
fhdgment of these distinguished
men of (he past.
Wo fi'pffl the scramble now going
on In Washington, OVCf the Federal
offices in South Carolina, as disgrace
ful in the extreme, and wish that it
Were at an end. We hud not in
tended expressing any opinion as to
the divieion between the two factions
of the State, of the offices, but Gov.
Tillman’s action in blacklisting Mr.
Donaldson, has put his faction in a
worse plight than it has ever been be
fore, and we have no hesitation in
saying that we do not believe that
Tillman and Donaldson.
The most arrogant of all the arro
gant acts of the most arrogant man
who has ever held office in South
Carolina, is furnished in the secret
letter of Governor Tillman to the
president requesting him not to ap
point Mr.. M. L. Donaldson, the
president of the State Alliance, to
any office under his administration.
What makes the request more im
pudent than it would otherwise have
been, is found in the fact that
Tillman was himself, so far as any
claims on the president were con
cernefl, on trial, and it was a very
serious question as whether he himself
did not richly deserve to be ignored in
the distribution of the Federal pat
ronage. His conceit and arrogance
were certainly great when they conld {
for oue moment, have led him to
imagine that the president would
comply with his ill-timed and im
pertinent request, and turn his back
on one who supported him to gratify
the spite of an enemy,
The governor gives his reason i in
detail, but tbo only oue concerning
which we wish to call special atteu'
tion, is where he speaks of Mr.
Donaldson, when he was in the
Senate, as having used his iniluence
to give tilt railroads the right, in
questions of dispute with the rail
road commission, to appeal to the
courts for justice. Anything more
dangerous to liberty could not be
conceived of, and if this monstrous
suggestion, denial of the right of
appeal to the courts of justice, can
be carried out in the case of corpora
tions, then it will be but a very short
step to apply the same rule to private
individuals. This vould give us the
wont of allpoisibls forms of govern*
meat, a despotism without a ruler.
It remains to te seen what the
alliance propose do ng in regard to
the insult given to their president.
If they are as easily cajoled, and can
l>e slapped iu the face without re
senting it, as were the prohibitionists
when they asked for water and were
given whiskey, there will be no fight
and they will meekly bow their necks
under the despotic heel of their
master, Governor Till man; but, if on
the contrary, they do not submit,
they will make matters uncomforta
bly warm for him in the next cam-
E and some lively work may be
for. If Mr. Donaldson is not
a political coward, he will accept the
Governor’s defiance, and wage tin
ceasing warfare upon the m»u whose
supreme arrogance is only equaled
by his insatiable ambition.
they are entitled to any recognition
and sincerely trust that they won’t get
any. If General Weaver had been
elected they, the leaders, would have
very probably, claimed recognition
from him, and have given as their
excuse, to use the language of Dr,
Stokes, that they were blindfolded
and booked up to the polls and made
‘ (vote for tbit tool of Wall street,
r -i Cleveland.
