Governor Blea.se \s grand stand
p'ay at economy will benefit the
down-trodden tax-payer very little.
As we figure it, if a mail now pays
taxes on one thousand dollars worth
v - j
?*f property he is saved alxmt twenty

According to the Honorable
T4 uma^ K Watson, the Sage of
Th >mson, <*a, the Honorable Hoke
Smith's in >st ere litable achievement
ia life woul 1 out-weigh in in
fatny any plot, or number of plots,
concocted by the whole tril>e of bold
bad boll-weevil distributors.
We believe in tax reduction, but
\ ?
over nor Blease's veto axe seems to
Le but child's play. If the entire
appropriation budget approximates
two million dollars he might very
easily have cut out $250,000 and
left the State with money on hand
. without eternally borrowing and
paying interest. As it-is, the feeble
little cut of $HH,000 is a mere bagatelle,scarcely
worth bothering with.
rfauator Tillman liad a sinking
pell in the Senate chamber one day
last we<ik while delivering a eulogy
uu his deceased colleagues, Senators
I2aj and Dolliver.v It is to*be hoped
ghat no one will exhibit the bad
taste to be casting about for his possible
successor, as was the ease last
year when the Senator's physical
collapso took place. All during the
Senator's illness many newspapers'
were coldly speculating upon
"Tom's, Dick's or Harry's" chance
to land the sick man's job.
If Governor Blease keeps up the
pace he has set# in liberating prisoners
from the State 'penitentiary, by
the end of two years theiState might
^ve a good bit of money by abolish
'.V
... I
ing that institution. Incidentally
all the criminal courts might Ik?
abolished, except special courts-to
try and punish the Governor's political
enemies. With His Excels
ileney to appoint special Judges to
try these political enemies, what .a
glorious spectacle of political and
civil government we would have, to
he sure! .
In vetoing the bill* to allow
the city of Charleston the opportunity^
vote on the commission
form of eovernment.Governor Blease
gives a gratuitous slap in the faee to
about fifteen hundred petitioners,
comprising the leading business men
of the city. Evidently the Governor
knows Charleston politics pretty
weH. Senator Tillman never exactly*
truckled to gain Charleston's
good will, yet when he. honors
the city with his presence, 'the
prominent citizens are wont to fall
over one another kowtowing around
him. The mailed glove is more effective
than the silk mitten when it
comes to ward politics.
Governor-Elect^ Hoke Smith is
getting a lot of free advertisftg over
an alleged plot the Governor "Sherlockcd"
that some I evil-minded per*
son or persons,of unknown name or
wherealxmts, had concocted to turn
t '
loose some thousands of the gay and
festive boll weevil in Georgia and
the Carolinas. The astute former
and future Chief Executive of
' Jaw-jaw" foiled the deep-dyed
villains by the simple expedient of
receiving an unsigned letter giving
away the whole nefarious scheme.
Just why the anonymous parties
wanted to turn loose the greedy insects
on new grazing ground, except
through pure "cussedness," or why
the discoverer of the wicked plot
did not disclose his own name, at
least, is left for our ancient friend
' Echo" to answer. Is it a hoax on
Hoke or is the hodx Hoke's own doin*?

STORIES OF MARK TWAIN.
Th? Great Humoriet Wai a Child in '
Financial Matters. >
'*E very body who knew Mark i
Twain recognized that in a matter I
of business lie was the veriest i
child," said the clerk of a hotel (
where Mr. Clemens used to put up.
"Y remember that one day after
his wife's death, when her estate (
was being settled up, he came downstairs
one morning to receive an
/OVisMal InrkL-intr lfttpr from ono of 1
tho administrators. Fie opened it (
slowly and stood for a long time ^
studying the figures on an Enclosure.
"'Good Lord!' he finally ex- '
claimed. 'Do 1 owe them $33,000 <
or do they owe me $18,000?' He i
passed the paper over to me, and <
when I told him tho balance was in 1
his favor he seemed greatly relieved.
"Once he was unintentionally instrumental
in getting our cashier ]
tired. Mr. Clemens was in the habit (
of getting $50 or $100 a day from
the office. Sotnetimes he would get
it without a draft, and sometimes 5
his secretary would come down- 1
stairs with him and cash a check, j
After he had gone home after one j
of his visits we sent him a bill. We
got an answer saying the bill was
too small, for he had drawn $100 1
more than he had been debited with.
This made the proprietor
angry, and he fired the cashier on ]
the 8pot. It efterward turned out ,
that on the morning that Mr. Clemens
had drawn this particular $100 1
his secretary immediately afterward 1
had given the cashier a check for ]
$100, so that there was no entry on ,
the book. (
"One day when Mr. Clemens
walked in and signed his name I
asked him how long he expected to
stay. I'll tell you/ he replied, 1
leaning over the counter. It de- ,
pends on the weather and my
shirts. I've one shirt on and two
in mjt grip. As soon as they all get
T om orrtin<? harlc home.'"?

When He Did Better. , X
A celebrated bishop once eat x
hrough a long and atrocious ser- c
non on a hot summer morning, k
The preacher was a youth just out ?
if college?a very conceited youth, i
le bellowed through his aermoq at f
he top of his lungs. His gestures
vere violent enough to break his ]
trms. At every climax he fixed ;
he bishop with his eye to see if 8
uitable impression had*been made.
And at the end of the service this j
roting snip swaggered up to the j
>ishop and said: J
"T fancy I did rather well today, |
lir. Don't you tlnplc tor c
"Yes.'* returned the bishop; "but J
rou did hotter Inst- year.** J
"Last year'*' end the yoongman.
'Why. T didn't preach at all last
rear." I
"That's tin* reason." said the
bishop, with a pleaeiyt smile.*
A* H* Should Bt.
"After you've been two weeks in
the house with one of these terribly
handy men that ask their wives to
be sure and wipe between the tines
5f the forks, and that know just
bow much raising bread ought to
have, and how to hang out a wasn
so each piece will get the best sun,
it's a real joy to got back to the ordinary
kind of man. Yes, 'tis so!"
Mrs. Gregg finished with much emphasis.
"1 want a man who should
have sense about the things he's
meant to have sense about, but
when it comes tojceeping house I
like to see *him real helpless, the
way the Lord planned to have him!'*
