Permit me to say that my indebted

I am at liberty to go wheresoever I

well that if I leave the State at all it is
only to attend the meeting at Cincin

which I am connected, which absence
from the S-ate is for a few days only.

THE BEHRING SEA QUESTION.
The unrestricted hunting of seals by
English vessels in Behring Sea has for
some time been a serious question with
the United States Government. They
are now being rapidly exterminated.
The matter came cp while Mr. Bayard
was Secretary of State, but was never
adjusted and descended to Mr. Blaine,
the present Secretary, as a legacy, to
settle with England. The correspond
ence between that minister and the
British Government has been heated
and spirited and fears of war were en
tertained. The whole correspondence
was a short time ago sujjfcuitted to
Congress and has been widely com -1
mented on by the press. Mr. Blaine
d?clares, on the part of our Govern
ment that Behring Sea is not a closed
sea (mare ciansore) in the sense of in
ternational law. And the question
seems to be whether tfce United States
has any teiritorisl jurisdiction, or if it
a* quired any rights io the premises
under the treaty witb Russia. The
Prime Minister, Lore Salisbury, has
cut short all negotiations with the
American authorities, and at the sug
gestion cf the" Canadian Government

tioo for a writ of prohibition to the Sa
preme Court has been condemned by
Congress In a series^ of- Very emphatic
resolutions.
The New York HeraH publishes an
interesting interview held at Carnes
wtft^ W?t?m^fS^^- f^' approver
Blaioe's con:re aod asserts that the
seals are bei eg'&an ted to death and will
be exterminated unless prompt measures
are taken; He goes on to say:
."" ***England will *ben euffer also, as
; five? thousand'persons in London live by
preparing the skins. Tbe poachers
with whom England rides, are not Eng
lish. The crews of the Canadian seal
ers are American eearaen. ' Last year
fifty-one vessels Were engaged in poach
ing. Next season if England gives her
protection" on6 hundred'aod fifty ships
wijji>e in tbe business. This means
destruction to the* seals.
Liebes. Mills and Te vis pay the gov
erntr^ot $11 for every seal tbey' kill
ai?d supply ^the inhabitan ts of tbe leased
tsiandc with medical attendance, fuel
and lie book. The inhabitants are In
dians from Alaska, nnmberiog four
hundred* KiC f?r- the" sealing they
would starve., Mr. Liebes says that
his firm would be- willing to abstain
from killing' the seals for five or six
years in order to give the animals a
chance, provided the others were for
"bidde? also. The reason the seals are
exterminated is that those that are kill
ed are mostly females with young. Out
of fifty-three thousand skins brought to
London this season-by poachers ninety
nine per cent belonged to females. Mr.
Liebes does* not believe there is any
danger of war in the matter. It is too
small for England to fight about.
. Last season ' thirty-nine Victorian
vessels killed over forty thousand seals,
while fourteen American ships killed
ander fourteen thousand. He holds
that America's rights in. the-sea are un
questionable, as those of Russia were
never questioned: As Russia shoots all
poachers caught on her side of the sea,
there is no poaching there.

A LIGHT TH?t"H?SFI,ED.
We regret to learn that the Camdcn
Journal, which had tbe r?putation of
being one of the oldest papers in the
State, hassuspended publication. It is
said to have been, th? next oldest news
paper in the State. In commenting
upon the. fact of its suspension, the
tVuteree Messenger remarks. "Tbat
the fact is made parent that the field
for journalism here (Camdeu) is too
small and circumscribed to permit pros
perity for three papers."
Thanks to Senator Gorman, the
cl?ture gag rule, which the Republicans
have attempted to rush through tbe
Senate, has been side-tracked to make
way for the re-apportion meat bill. l'y
many, this is regarded as settling the
Force Bill for good and all, bat Sen
ator Gorman says tbe Republicans still
need watching, as they may bring up
the bill again. The vote to lay aside
th? cl?ture bill was very close, being
35 to 34
(From oar Regular Correspondent.)
. WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, XX. Ci Jan. 26,1891.
Senator Gray made a telling point
against tbe proposed republican gag
rule, now before - the Senate? when he
called attention to tbe fact that cl?ture
was first introduced to the English
speaking - people to assist tbe tories in
suppressing1 the Home Rale movement
in Ireland. He said : "It is a signifi
cant fact, pregnant with instruction aud
warning to the American people, that :
the first time in the history of England.
that an attempt was made in the House
of Commons to limit debate it was made
io order to suppress borne role in Ire
land. Let gentlemen go ont and tell
their naturalised fellow-citizens from
that stricken and unhappy idle that tbe
American Senate is taking a page from
tbe history of the English parliament.
Cl?ture was adopted io England in
order that Irishmen might he gagged in
the House of Commons when they at
tempted to: assert that freedom of speech
which belonged to them as representa
tives of their people. Let gentlemen
tell the naturalized citizens that that is
tbe example they are following in order
to destroy home rule in this country."
Tbe republicans profess to believe
tbat the action of tbe legislatures in
some of the Southern States io refusing
to consider bills making appropriations
for state exhibits at the Worlds Fair
while the Force bill is pending is a
bluff, bat it is easy to see tbat it has
greatly disconcerted them, and they
are receiving hundreds of letters every
day from their commercial constituents
demanding that the Force bill be aban
doned, but they ?tili persist in going
ahead to their own destruction.
Senator Stewart made another rat
tling speech on Saturday against both
tbe gag-rale and tbe Foroe bill, and tbe
republican Senators squirmed in their
seats as they listened to .his words of
truthful condemnation, and vaio at
tempts were made by Senators Spooner,
Mitchell, aod Hoar to disconcert him by
asking questions, bat he was fully pre
pared for them .sod they soon let him
severely alone.
Mr. Morton bas allowed himself to be
made the tool of the radical republicans,
and by making a number of arbitrary
aod unjust decisions he has enabled the
gag-rule gang to get tbe cl?ture rule
before tbe Senate, and they are confi
dently counting upon similar ruliogs to
get it adopted, and there is no indica
tion that they will be disappointed.
Speaker Reed is doing his level best j
to gag tbe democrats of the House, and
is only prevented from going to great
er extremes by the absence of a repub
lican quorum. He is tryiog to railroad
the appropriation bills through so as to
j have a clear track when tbe Force bill
: comes over with tbe Senate amend
ments, if itjever does. He isn't 6uc
l eeediog very well, and will not, uule^
j he gets that republican quorum, and
keeps it. ?
Fourth Regiment Band Concert.
The Fourth Regiment Band has-been spoken
of frequently heretofore i:i ?nr columns, for
we think such talents as compose it, combined
with the perseverance of the young men in
in attaining the degree of excellence at which
they have arrived, deserved something more
than a passing notice It is a band that any
city should be proud of and it whs with a
thrill of genuine pleasure that we took our
seat amid the crowded audience assembled in
the Academy of Music on Wednesday evening
last in tribute to the superior talents of our
native musicians... There were others besides
those composing the audience, who had so
much the success and benefit of the band at
heart that they appeared behind the footlights
and took part in the performance. Too
much cannot be said in praise of their well
.directed efforts, in getting up the concert and
the part they took in ensuring its success.
After the overture by the band Mr. Bartow
Walsh, sang the beautiful 'baritobe solo
The* Bell Bony", with great effect. The
Instrumental Duet, overture '"Crown
Diamond" was next performed by Mrs. John
Kersnaw and Mrs. L. S. Carson, and the
audience showed its appreciation of fine
music by prolonged appltuse. The sweet
soprano'of Miss DeLorme blended w'Hw? the
exquisite tenor of Mr. Lucius Bultman. in
that sweet song,
' Oh, that we two were Maying." .
They tang witb so much soul and
exvressioa this -beautifal piece from Kingley's
Saints Tragedies that the company almost
imagined they saw them as
"Children with violets playing,
" 7n-the shade of the whispering trees."
Next in order was the recitation by Miss
Dnlce Moiseof "The Sioux Chiefs Daughter,"
which she. declaimed in her best style, and
part I orYhe Program closed witb the sweet
strains of Mr. Bultman's tenor in "Pauline"
and the brilliant performance on the cornet by
Prof Scull. The. rendition of Plantation
Gems, by the orchestra, was the feature of the
musical entertainment and brought down the
bouse. The pitch of enthusiasm was reached
in the last gem, "Dixie" and they were
repeatedly encored.
The performance closed with the following.
Vocal Solo?With all her fauls?Miss
Anita DeLorme.
Cornet Duet?Departed Days?Prof. Scull
snd Mr. Dennison.
Recitation?Josiah Allen's wife at Stewart's
Store?Miss Nellie Rosendorf.
Baritone Solo?Mayflower Polka?Mr. J.
P. Mcraa, Baud Accompaniment.
Instrumental Solo?Pasquinade?Mrs John
Kershaw.
Vocal Quartette?Lady Bird?Misses De
Lorme and China and Messrs. Bultman and
Walsh.
Brass Septer?Medley? Prof. Scull and
Messrs. Dennison, Hood, Pbelps, Wilder, J
P. Moran and W. Moran. .'
The success of the. entertainment was in a
large measure due to the excellent training ot
the Band by Prof. Scull and his skill as a
musical director ; to the invaluable assistance
of MrsrKerSbaw, who plajed all the accom
paniments, and the gentle undertone of the
piano under her untiring and artistic touch
was heard through almost every instrumental
peice that was performed.
It is a pleasant and grateful privilege for the
W. ? S. to record their perfect success, and we
hope that the memory cf this "evening of
song" will soon be revived not only for the
"Benefit of the Band" but for the music
loving people of Sura ter.

Mr. H. B. Thomas, R. R. Commis
sioner.
Last Piiday the Governor telegraphed Mr.
H. R. Thomas to come to Columbia, and,
upon his arrival there, banded "nim bis com
mission as Railroad Commissioner. Mr.
Thomas' appointment fills the vacancy on the
Commission created by the death of the late
Go?. Bonham. The Governor says he felt
constrained to appoint Mr. Thomas because h?
is from the middle section, and he feels sure
Mr. Thomas is "a competent man for the
place, ns he is an engineer by profession."
Mr. Thomas has undoubtedly been successful
at engineering ; the only wonder is that be
gave it up to go to farming.
While in the city Mr. Thomas secured an
office for his fricod, Mr. Jos. M. Cooper, in
the Department of the Sinking Fund Commis
pion, with a salary of $100 per mouth and
$50 traveling expenses.
Mr C?k>per was the candidate on the Till

Mr. Editor : Ar the follow ing communica
tion did not appear iu print, I 9eud you a
copy with additional items:
The good people of M t Zion congregation,
gave the Sabbath School children, quite a
feast at the Parsonage, on the 24?b of Dec.
We were all there, both "Straigbtouts" and
"Tillmanites." Peace and harmony rt-igneth
in Zion. "Ob 1 bow good and pleasant it io,
for brethren-to dwell together in unity."
After the usual greetings and salutations, the
children gathered together in the front yard,
and bad as much fun and frolic as desirable.
Then came the sapper, consisting of every
variety of cakes, candies, and fruits, in
ample profusion, I really thought, atter
partaking of the good things, heartily, that
the "Silver," and Sub-Treasury" bills were
in active operation among us. The Pastor,
Klders, and Deacons, had a secret conclave
in the house ; I suppose, discussing the Prohi
bition Movement.

Mr. K. E. Wells did not make a fatal shot,
as reported, at "Billy Sherman"?a dis

"A philosophy for dogs" is what Carlyl
pronounced o .of Prof. TrndaJLTs carefully

dainful snort, too. When eminent authorities
like these disagree, you cannot blame the
public for being chary in the premises; but
wbeo from all sides a subject is showered
with universal commendation, it is becoming
in yon to be of a similar mind. It would re
