WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24,1892.
First Chapter of the Book of
the Prophet Zeracchaboam.
1? Now in the frailness of time arose
one Benjamin, a man haughty of spirit
and subtile of heart, who greatly de
ceived the people. The same as was
spoken of by the Prop be- saying "A
one-eyed man shall be king : -uong the
Mind."
2. He feared not God, neither re
garded man, and had his raiment of
coarse cloth, and covered his head with
a hat of wool, and his nether garment
was upheld by one gal lus.
r?. Being desirous of ruling over all
the people, he lifted up his voice against
the scribes and the rulers and the judges
of the people, and hardened his faco
against those who were the weavers of
cloth, and went about to overthow the
tables of the money. changers and
d?s iroy those who carried travellers and
mei-oaaadise for hire.
4. And he lifted up bis voice among
the people and said, **Hearken unto me
this day and ponder my words. The
country b filled with rottenness, aad
your rulers are but as lepers and are
debauched by the money changers and
are carried about whithersoever they will
by the carriers of travellers. They
have laid burdens heavy and grievous
to be borne upon ihe people, and I alone
am able to deliver you out of their
hands."
5. But when these things were
noised abroad, the people came running
together and said among themselves,
surely this man is seme great one, even
Moses or Elias, or that prophet which
is to come.
6. Whereupon they answered and
said unto him, Oh, Benjamin the Till
m an it e, live forever ! Take, we pray
you, unto yourself the wisest among us
and let us fight against the rulers and
scribes that we may overcome them and
deprive them of their holdings.
7. And be arose and called unto
himself Hugh, the captain of the hosts,
and John, his chief priest, who was
made a Senator of the people and
others with them.
8. And when they had gone from
place to place and stirred up a great
tumult among the people, they fought
against the rulers and scribes and pre
vailed against them migbtrly, so that
they were no longer to be found.
9. And there were many who clove
to the hinder parts of tbe garments of
Benjamin, saying among themselves,
if we can but keep our hold upon his
garments our labor will not be in vain. '
10. Now Benjamin seized upon the
places of the rulers and scribes, and
took unto himself the place of the chief
ruler over all the people, and rewarded
those who clung to his garments, from
the least even unto the greatest.
11. When all these things were
done the people rejoiced greatly and
said one to another, surely this is the
Most? who will deliver us from all our
enemies and will give into our hands
the vine and fig true of our rieh neigh
bors, if we have none of our own
wbereunder we may sit.
12. Now no sooner had this Benja
min begun to bear rule among the peo
ple than he hardened his heart, and
strove to lay grievous taxes upon the
heads of men, and wasted the treasure
of the people and did go from place to j
place with the carriers of travellers 1
without paying his pence therefor, and \
he d:d sell his herds unto the State, ]
wherewithal be made large profit unto
himself, and rendered not promptly
onto the taxgatberer the things that i
were his, and clothed himself in costly i
raiment and fine linen and two galluses t
with-ali, and fared sumptuously every
day.
.13. Now the people were moved
greatly, saying one to another, we
accounted our ancient rulers but as <
devils, but surely we have oast them 1
out by Beelzebub, the Prince of the
Deviio.
14. So they called unto them one
John, surnamed the Sheppard, to do
battle against this Benjamin, who had
ho grievously deceived them, and even
now their teut3 are pitched over against
each other, for the day-of battle is at
band.?Aikea Kecorder.
Harrison Caught*
Harrison has been caught. The
Chinese exclusion bill contained a clause
disqualifying negroea in certain cases to
testify. He knew tbe clause was in it.
It gives offense and now he is trying to
excuse his act by saying be had been
assured it could not be enforced. Har
rison is a lawyer of long practice, has
served six years in the Senate and is a
man of good ability. He ought to have
known better than to sign a bill, and
thus make it a law, when it contained a
clause ho disapproved of in tbe hope
that the law could net be executed.
That was stupid if he realty thought so.
The Atlanta Constitution is perhaps
right in sayiug of tbe Republican
President's actions :
"The plain truth of the business is
that Benjamin Harrison, in order to
please - the people of the PaclSo coast,
signed a bill which brands the negroes
as unreliable witnesses, and on that
account prohibits them from testifying
in cet tain cases
No other President of any party, has
ever in this solemn manner placed such
a disgraceful stigma upon the colored
citizens of the United States.
Benjamin .Harrison may explain the
matter until doomsday, but no intelli
gent, 6elf-reppecting negro will ever
forget b?3 deliberate insult.''
When a man starts out to do evil he
is very apt to be caught.?Wilmington
Messenger.
"There is something rotten in the
State of Denmark." James Moin tosh
of Ne wherry, ehowa from the records
that James G. Gibbes, agent of the
sinking fund commission of this State
has been looking aftoring lauds in
arrears for taxes. The sheriff of Clar
endon County advertised in a local
paper 10,200 acres of these State lands
which were bid in by James G. Gibbcs,
agent, and others at 17* cents an acre
aud soon thereafter sold at ?1 00.
Louis Apelt of the same county bought
some of tbe State lands at the same low
figure and eold at $1.00. In all, about
380,000 acres have been sold in tbe
same way. If the same profits were
made on aSi these lands some one
pocketed over $300.000 by the trades.
If that had been under the old admin
istration it would have been stigmatized
as iraud. As it has been done wi'.h the
knowledge aud cotisent of the Tiilman
i-daiinietration, it ie on?y a sharp busi
o ess trick.
On One Man.
We believe it was the lion. W. C.
Benet, of Abbeville, who in the early
part of this campaign had something
to sm of the absurdity and injustice
ofdj&akfng an issue on one man?or
was it Lieutenant Governor Gary?
We forget. They have suug in sweet
accord this year?have achieved the
highest ?Jevelopm?nt of a duet
performance by having their voices
blend so haimoniously that it has
been at times difficult to separate
them in the memory
Anyhow, somebody on that side
made euch a remark and we ask the
attention of that somebody to the
catechism prepared for candidates by
the caucus ofxiliman men of Green
ville county. This interesting pro
duction was printed in The Green
ville News yesterday.
Men who ask for office in this
county are not to be asked what
principles they tepresent, what they
cau do or will try to do for the peo
ple, or as to their fitness or character.
Old Thomas Jefferson gave as the
three questions to be asked of a candi
date for public office. "?8 he honest ?
Is he capable ? Is he faithful to the
constitution?" Greenville county
democrats are uow instructed that
they must overlook all such matters
as that. The important questions
are :
"Have you been an expressed and
avowed Tilimanite from AI arch, 1890,
to the present timer'
"Did you vote for Shell or Duncan
:u 1890 hi the primary ?"
"Will you vote for the twelve men
nominated the 1st of August by a
conference of Tillman men to repre
sent this county in the September
convention ?"
"Are you in favor of the re-election
of T?lm?n and other State officers."
"Do yon belong to a Tillman or an
anti-Tinman club?"
Now we submit that it is just this
kind of thing against which the con
servative movement is directed.
It will be observed that there is no
question of farmers' movement or
democracy or any of the serious is
sues now bfore the people. Loyalty
aud obedience to Tillman is the only
test, the one issue.
Tillman is the issue because he has
made himself and his followers have
made him the issue.
The fight is one of the State of
South Carolina, democratic principles
and the welfare of the people against
one man whose inordinate greed for
power and sense of his own greatness
and importance would make all those
things subject to his despotic will and
personal interests.
For the safety of our State, the
principles of our party and the wel
fare of our people all forbid that any
one man should have absolute power,
that every office from highest to low
est, executive, legislative and judicial
should be filled with his declared
partisans.
No monarch of Enrope excepting |
the czar of Russia demands or has
3uch absolute, far reaching power as
it is proposed to give to this man in
this commonwealth, supposed to be
Composed of a free people and to
iiave a republican form of goveru
aent,
From State senator and solicitor to
jounty commissioner,coroner and trial
iistice, f:om the highest place to the
owest, it is proposed to fill every
>lace with men devottd, not to any j i
principle or faction or cause, but to
>ne man aud that man the governor.
The conservatives have made and
ire making their fight against one
nan power in the State. They should 1
;ake care that their force is used in
?very county against one man power.
We have heretofore advised that the
konservatives make no issue between
Tillman and anti Tillman men in
county affairs but choose and vote for
Lhe best men offering for each o?ice. I
We now urge them to make no !
promises or pledges to an)' local j
candidate, but to await the result of
[his catechism and to stand ready to
throw their solid force against anv !
man who tries to be elected on hi* j
record of devotion to Tillman and !
promise to support him.
We do not believe the masses of
the Tillman people in thi? county will
accept any soch tost of fitneae among
candidates asking their suffrage.
About the only purpose we can see
this catechiam will Bervo will be to
illustrate the cause of and need for the
present uprising against one man
power.?Greenville News.
? -
South Carolina.
If Sooth Carolina is lost to the
Democratic party at the November elec
tion, and Harrison thereby elected and
the force bili placed upon the South, it
will be due to Tillman, Irby, Stokes
and others who control the Farmers'
Alliance in that State. Jnst before the
Chicago convention Senator Irby, the !
nondescript who has the seit lately oc- j
copied by Wade Hampton, declared
that the nomination of Cleveland would j
cause the party to rcooive a bad shaking j
up. Two weeks ago, io Augusta, Dr. j
J. Win. Stokes, president of the State
Alliance and a delegate to Chicago saH: ;
"If Cleveland is nominated there will !
be steps taken toward patting out Thud !
Party electors in my state within twen
ty-four hours after the convention ad- '
journs. * * I know what I au? I
talking about and mean what I say.'7 \
In Chicago. Governor Tillman, who I
was chairman cf the delegation, said
that the delegates "could not go back j
to Soufh Carolina if they aided iu the
Cleveland ouovetneut/1 If South Oaro- j
lina is lost, it will be due iu the fel?y j
of the Alliance putting the state in th? j
hands of such leaders.?Mobile lieeis- '

Chances of the Parties.
N. V. herald.
The opposition to the democracy
in Alabama shows stronger than was
first reported, carrying a majority of
the white counties and the Legisla
te e, while the democrats save them
selves in the black counties, with the
! election machinery in their hands,
! usually used to prevent negro votiug.
This encourages the Omaha party,
but will hardly disturb the solid
Southern vote for Cleveland. It
promises, though, a stormy future
for Southern democracy. The
etrength of the Alliance in the South
animates the third party in the North
west, where they are aided by demo
crats who hope to help them to States,
otherwise surely republican, and
throw the election into the House.
There Cleveland's success is assumed
to be certain, though Whitelaw Reid
would be elected Vice President by
the Senate. Republicans are not
without concern about the effect of
the Alabama) election, but are not
alarmed.
Claiming national success on either
side, without New York State, is
"rainbow politics,'* but Harrison has
a large chance outside, as it is con
-eded he may carry Indiana again, and
the Confederate tariff issue may give
him New Jersey and Connecticut,
while the democrat gold bug plank
yields to him the six new States.
In New York it happens the most
prominent managers of both parties
were disappointed in the Presidential
nominations. The whole democratic
delegation signed and published at
Chicago a proclamation that Cleve
land's nomination would expose the
party to (he loss of the electoral ticket
in New York. That this was confined
to the Presidential vote made it
peculiarly a personal menace. No
declaration of such gravity has been
made by the republicans opposing
President Harrison. The assertion
that both parties are alike disturbed
by the New York disaffection is not
sustained by facts.
Tammany's regular army exhibits
its discipline in a showy support of
Cleveland. This is upon the apparent
condition that mugwumps are silenced
and the regulars be not subjected to
criticism, supetvision, division of
authority or suspicion.
Cleveland's friends before the
nomination are unheard and invisible,
and Sheehan, his sharpest opponent,
heads the Campaign Committee.
Cleveland, therefore, is completely,
hopelessly in the hands of the enemies
he was loved for making, and his
danger is rather in the State than in
the city. Senator Hill's silence is
sinister. He has not made loyal
submission. It is believed that it
is impossible fur Cleveland to cany
Ne* York without Hill's utmost
exertion, and he had that when he
failed four years ago. The unretract
ed testimony of Tammany at Chicago
was that with Cleveland as a candidate
this State was certainly lost again.
The democratic answer to all this
is, Platt is not an earnest supporter of"
the President. Platt's remarkable
political information and skill are
valuable, but not indispensable. He
has not been in the habit, as Hill has,
of carrrying New York, and has
raised up against himself republicans
who want only to know his methods
to oppose them. They would light
barder for the President were Platt
hostile. The charge against him is
that his coolness toward the President
is merely personal. He is a business
man, accustomed to large affairs, and
running a small faction would not
suit him. The danger of his dissat
isfaction is magnified and the tem
perature of his antagonism exagge
rated.
Republicans in New York do not
confront an internal faction as formi
dable as that tank ling deep seated in
democracy. Republican belief in
State and national victory increases.
The democrats were unwise in taking
their Vice Presidential candidate from
Illinois instead of Indiana. They
had an Indiana, not an Illinois,
chance. Now Indiana may be count
ed for Ilanison, and the eighty-three
democratic votes in the House against
helping the World's Fair fixes Illinois
for the republicans.
The democratic campaign was
opened at National Headquarters
with a three hours* luncheon, and aU
the confidence came from cold cham
pagne. M. Halste ad.
The New York Times of August 9
says :
Duriog the past week silver bullion
has fallen to the lowest point on record
in the New York or London market.
On Saturday it sold at SI cents per
ounce, and on Monday at 81$ cents,
though the Government purchases were
made at an average slightly below that
Sgure, at 84.48 cents. It is not easy
to contemplate with patience the opera
tions of the prc-went policy of the Unit
ed States with reference to silver. It
is we'I known thst the law of 1300 was
passed f^r toe avowed purpose of ad
vancing the price of silver, a purpose
which Mr. Don Cameron, Senator from
Pennsylvania, rccog?iz'.d by buying
silver ouiiion f;r a rise before voting
for the bill. Tor a short time after the j
bill became a i-.w r-iivcr did advance, j
and tiure wr? touch faith in i?s goi:,g
to ?,1 29, at which price the standard
silver dollar would be worth 100 cent*
i>u*, it soon began to drop again, and
today the silver in a legal-tender silver
dollar in worth only (>\l cents. Mean
while the Government has issued over
$100.000,000 in treasury notes, re

Senator Palmer's Views.
The foilowiog timely words of warn
i?g are taken from a speech of IlliDois'
great Senator. Palmer:
"Let mo tell you that if the demo
cracy and the country are deceived in
this contest it is not the fault of the re
publicans. At Minneapolis they fiung
their banner to the breeze and inscribed
upon it, in bold terms, all that is odious
in republicanism. They have written
upon it a menace to the peaoc of the
country in the new Force bill. A3 sure
as Benjamin Harrison is elected and
the next Congress is republican we will
have a Force bill such as the ingenuity
of John Davenport or the devil may
suggest. It is duo to tho Minneapolis
convention to say that they have not
attempted to deceive the country on that
point. They dcolare their purpose, and
if they suoceed we will have no rigntto
complain.
