THE WORK OP THE LEGISLA
TUBE.
The Ge serai Asffs>b?y convenes to
day, aod the session .promises to be one,
of unusual interest. There are a num
ber of important mallets* to be sbroaght'
np for consid ration, and the ei mber6,
of "Tillman's menagerie, "-as the "fcanoe .
Star bas dubbed thc Scobie and House,
collectively will hg criticised io any
event.
They cannot u*ake a disposition of
these matters thai will satisfy any con
siderable body of the people, and as;
mewbeis of ,*be Legislature .they may |
sewell prepare themselves to receive j
soy amount of censure. They w.i.ll bc
r^ady before the iew Year, to exclaim
hat they bave done those tbiugs they
Might oot to have dose,.and left undone
those things tint they ought to bare
dooe. Their position is Dot enviable,
especially tbc#e who bolong to the
majority.
%One of the matters of first importance
is the much discussed const itu: ton al
,caayeptioD ; aod as it is ao administra
tion measure aod has the endorsement
,of JU .tjby Tillman leaders it wi!! oo
doubt he -passed unless a means of side
tracking it is found in the Senate. We
hare been opposed to this measure from
^be first, /OJT what appears to be go >d
reasons, and trust at it may be defeat- j
ed by some legitimate means.
The oew coooty government seheme j
-is soother pet measure that will be j
pushed for al* it is w^rts. Unless the j
bill bas been radically reyisc since last
-year, we are opposed to it, because it >
places too much .power io the bauds of
tho Governor that should rightfully re
main io those of the people, and, also,
because it is cumbersome and we believe
will prove inefficient. A chaine for
s aaethtegbetter from the present f-ys
tem s needed, and is generally demand- i
ed, and it does seem that the combined
vbdoat of oar lawmakers should be
able to evolve s plan that would fill the
requirements.
Cietnsoa College will a aio come up
asking, for an appropriation, without
whUrh its completion will be indefinite
ly postponed. If there was a need for
TnTs" o f g , and wc De rere there was,
ano* T*, tt should be opened to the young
men of the State at onc . A delay of a
year pre*e&tt many a youngman from
obtaining a collegiate education. We
. know of several boys io this county,
who would have entered Clemson had: rt
been opened last year, but will not do
: so ow, and it is taus throughout the
i State.
The appropriation asked should: be
given and the College should be opened
.without furtbes delay.
Superintendent of Education. >Iay
! field saakes a recommendation^ ia his
r. $ oBel eport that may ieaci to a legis
Jative fight of constdevrrbfe magnitude.
Be suggests that tke* South Carolina
College as it now exists be abolished
a&d a coeducational normal college be
established io its place. We *re unal
terably opposed to this scheme of Mr.
May&eld's. The college as it stands, a
classical aud literary school of a kag h
standard, filia a place that ie necessary
i to the educational life of the State.
And we are opposed to She co education
al plan o principle. There are any
advantages to be derived from it, and
mao reasons to be urged in ks favor,
but after having had two years experi
ence, as a student itv a co-educational
eullege, asd becoming weil acquainted
with the advantages and disadvantages
of the system,, we find ourself unable to
recommend o? commend ft. We also
believe that the province of a formal
College does not begin where the high
school leaves oB, as other colleges do,
i bat that to bestow the most benefit, it
should Supplement the work of the ordi
nary, literary and classical college,
: rather than attempt to take its place.
It is not probable that Mr. M a 3 field's
suggestion will be adopted, but it is a
Ojuestkrti that should be carefully con
sidered if it comes before the General
Assembly.
The Prohibition question is the one
that will cause more reeling than ail the
others together, and just at present, it is
the one about the final disposition of
which, the pablie generally is in rae &*e t
doubt. There is no doubt in ocr mind
concerning the duty of tbs Legislature.
It must pass a prohibitory law or diso
bey the direct iostrngtio&s of those who !
elected its membership. The element
of doubt, is the character of the prohibi
tory measure that will be passed, and j
the probability o a possible disagree
ment in ,the prohibition ranks. It is !
said that more (Lau a dozen members
have already prepared bills for intro
duction. Some of the bills are Fer?
general and sweeping in their provjs- j
ions, while others go into the minutia '
af the affair. Some prohibitionists de- 1
ire te have the law become operative j
inmediately, e* fehing out the liquor:;
:rafiLc at once, bile others, more con> jj
iervative, wish Lo fix a future aVe for
iie law to go into effect. - In coDbider

H^uor'Uealers n*u&t not be forgotten,

est fight possible. They arc at wrrk

The movement to establish County1
ourts in some of the upper counties
is liable to spread over the entire State.'
Lhere will be bitter opposition to it, and tij
may tai - at this session, but tbeidea is a
jood one, and we hope to see County
:ourts, with ample jurisdiction, estab
lished throughout thc State, with
in the next few years. County courts
would prevent, in a great meas
ure, the delays of the law. about which
there is so much complaint,; and 'agi;
they are eoj.ine.ct.1^ satisfactory tn other'
States, it is not likely that they would
prove the reontrary -be-re. \
The State debt, and rhe question of
what are we to .'o about it ? will un
douhtedly agitate thc minds of Gov
Tillman and his lieutenant* more than
anything else, and it should if it does
not, for it is by far the tnost serious

SUMTER COUNTY'S CANDI
DATE*
This county has- aever been product
l ive of candidates for State or Federa
; positions. This has been neither fo
j the want of men qualified to fill any o
the positions at the disposal of the gov
ern aient, nor. from the absence of :
-right on the part of tho democracy o
. the county to demand reignition ina feh<
disposal of the places of houor ant
trust. During Cleveland's adminis
tration of 18cU-S&, not a man iron
Sumter Conney, rf our recollection- i
correct, asked for or received an office
not falling naturally to the county.
All tbe principal places were bestowed
uDon men from other sections, whc
asked for then . For this reason alone
; a man endorsed by the Democracy o!
ifebis county would seem to merit par
ticular consideration when the Cleve
land-Stevenson Admriuistcation comet
t te-power.
The above is merely prefatory to t
few words in relation to tbe candidacy
of Capt. C. L. Williamson, for th<
? o&ee of Collector of Internal Revenue
Capt. Williamson, as- is well knowi
within tbe county, ran ahead of bil
j kieket at the recent primary, and wai
elected to the House of Representa
tives;. which- when the tightness wit!
which factional lines were drano I
considered, vs proof of his general pop
? ularity, and the high esteem in wbict
he is held by the people of the county
Be is a democ-at with as bright a
record as- any in South Carolina.
From 1876, when many who now lead
were passive, or acStve in the ranks ol
j'tbe enemy, to the present time, be hae
( done bi duty on every occasion, and
often bas volunteered when others held
back, f e is qualified to fill the ofirce
i of Collector, and will do his duty every
time without fear or favor. He has
never been a candidate of bis own mo
tien, aud in this instance is tbe can
didate of Sumter County, brought for
j ward by bis friends, and endorsed by
j the Democrats irrespective of faction He
j is a successful business man and a farm
: er ; and finally, if there is anything tu his
: record, either public or private, that
would disqualify bim from holding
office, we have never beard it, and we
think we would have heard anything
there was to hear.
The WatcJuuan and Southron en
dorses Capt. William on for the office of
Collector of Ioter&al Bevenue. but
regrets that the county is in danger
of losing bis services in the Legisla
ture.
EQUIVOCAL H AN GUAGE*
Tte .Sumter Herald in it? last issue
charges the Watchman and Southron
with violating journalistic ethics in one
instance, and goes ahead, it appears,
with ma!i>& ;aforet-bought, and makes it
irr pop;jibi fto comply with its idea of
ethics. The Sa-ald complains that it
and the Manning j mes were criticised
without giving what they said calling
forth the criticism. Adopting the lan
guage ef the Herald, this is true, but
only half true.. The article from thc
Times was given in full on another
page, and the omission .of the Herald
article was an oversight^itt having been
clipped,for publication. Tic malice of
tbe B-"nld in its last issue was as clear
as day. It striugs out au article more
than two columns iu length a&er hading
said that to omit what a contemporary
has said., when criticisiug ie* breach ot
journalistic courtesy ! We are ia a
quandery-is it better to make* breach
in Bro. Nettles' journalistic ethics or to
fill our columsrs with, thc article from
the Herald. We choose the first -horn
of the .dilemma. The whole matter in
brief is this : There was a very -small
vote polled in Sumter County, which
unfortunately, is guilty of the -unpar
donable sin of having a consercra-ticrc
majority. The Watchman and Soirt'k- j
ron did not hesitate to say that thc light j
vote, under the circumstances, was a'
disgrace to the Democracy of the coun
ty, and of the city of Sunter especially, j
We staod by this assertion. &uaiter;
County shoal have gi?en a Do mucra-'j
tic majority of at least 1800. Hut as
we said the , one faction was as mach il
-
to blame as the other, as the strength of j
the factions is nearly equal.
The causes that led t> he lt ht vote li
are various, o*he of which are uot hard
to find and explain, others are; but j
taking the vote of the county through- j
out, the city r.f Sumter did as weil, if
not better, than thc average. This is
indisputable.
These facts being granted, it would
seem that a ciitioiscn based upon them
would be unobjectionable, and so it
would, were it not tinged with an ani
mus, Lot ii uncalled f r and uij ust. lt
was this animus to both the Herald and
Thnes-that we obj eted to. Thc
editor cf tbeso pape rs has a neat way of
placing his words, *>o as to express in
. qui vocal language, an objectionable
i'ica?, but conveying at the .saine time
an insinuation apparent to ail.
X >t being so prodigal of space as the ;
Herald, we cannot review its two and
a quarter Column article at length, for
were we to icvote sp ice proportionately
to the way tbs Herald ti iii to our eight- j
e n or twenty line paragraph, we would ;
have to liil a whole side of the Walch- !
mon and Southnja. Hal to convince'
our friend that we aro uupredjudieed,
while maintaining that his attempt was
rc- fasten the blaine of the light vote ou
the Conservatives, we give both articles
and leave it to the readi g public to de
cide whether we are right or wrong:
[From the Maiming- Times.]
The city of Sumter g*ve Moise for Con
gress, 369 again.-t 57 for Murray, a majority
of312. Evidently the political knife was
used, and Sumter's son and Democratic
candidate was the viciim slaughtered. The
personal popularity of Generaf Moise led os
to believe thav.be would carry his owu city
by a large and almost unanimous vote, but
he did not do rt, to the' shame of Sumter.
The white vote of that city according to the
primary retarns,.showed a Conservative vote
of o-ver five hundred, and a reform 7ote ol
over one hundred, vet only about half of this
number voted in the general election, when
they ba a ran idate in the field whom they
should have felt prou<? of against a Republi
can negro who could not md woald not rep
resent them. Gen. Moise-may be elected, and
we hope he is, but the knifing be reteired at
his home is a severe blow not only to bira
hui to tfee Democracy of that county, and
humiliating indeed to the Democracy of the
entire State.
From tkf Sumter Herold.
The political condition of Sumter is de
plorable, indeed When men pledge them
selves to the performance of a certain duty,
and then wilfully disregard their pledged hon
or, it is lime to probe deeply for the canse
of the m o ra!-polit veal ulceration. TillnannVtes
and Conservatives are both at fault, and il
is seles to hunt up excuses. We have found
it impracticable to get the vote in the couuty,
except t SurrMer. and- our comments must
be based on the vote in this city:
Tillman.263 Legislature.387
State Officers...272...County Officers ..286
lo view of the pledges at the primary tc
support the nominees,, what can be the mean
ing of the above, that there were 24 more
votes cast for the members of the Legislature
than for the Governor of the StAt r At the
recent primary there was more th*u S & votes
east by the two Democratic cl rbs in this
place, each of which voters pledged his honor
to support the ticker, ye' not 'half of them
voted the State election. This in all very
wrong. Kvery man should have supportai
the Democratic ticket, regardless of bis 3ikes
and dislikes, or else he should come out lik<
a man, acknowledge, that he is rrot a Demo
crat, aud hunt soiae other party.
But most inexplicable of all is the vote ol
the Sumter Conservative club. This clul
claims, we believe, more tha-n six hundred
votes, yet in the election last Tuesday, nol
half that niauy white votes were c*8t in Sum
ter. An explanation is certainly needed.
General Moise should have received al
least 700 vetes in Sumter. He cot only 369.
And that, too, when be was opposed by a
negro who would ia no sense have represent
ed this Congressional district. Every Sterno
erat in Sumter, who failed to vote for Moise,
indirectly cast a half vote for the negro Mur
ray.
In this matter don't say the Tillmanites
didn't vote, but put the nlame where ri rests.
In Sumter city the fault fies with the Conser
vatives, and they should not attempt to shirk
it. _
WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. 1892.
Mr. Harrison has boroe bis defeat in
such a mau y way that be bas won the
respect and admiration of even the
staunchest democrats. The members o
bis Cabinet have had little to say,
although it was well kuown that more
than one of them might have said some
very interesting things had they been
so disposed. This being the situation,
a sensation was created io high repub
lican circles when Jovial Secretary
Rusk opened his ammunition box aud
fired a red hot shut straight at the head
of the man who has been privately
charged by Mr. Harrison's close per
sonal friends with having exerted his
powerful infiaence'in the republican par
ty to lessen the vote for Mr. Harrison.
Although Secretary Kusk called no
name he made it as plain as though he
had spoken through the most powerful
trumpet ever made, that n'brs opinion
James G. Blaine, the ex-head of the
Harrison Cabinet was the traitor upon
whose head the wrath of the republican
party should be poured.
t is learned from trustworthy sources
that Mr. Harrison was averse to such a
statement being made by any member
of his Cabinet, not because he believed
:t untrue, but because he thought it
undignifi d aud unnecessary; but Sec
retary Husk who had it iu for Blaine,
whom he one admired so much that he
named his soc after him, ever since last
summer wheu Blitnc tried to deprive
him of the credit for restoring thc Euro
pean privileges of the Ameriuau hog,
and later lo use him to defeat Mr.
Harrison's renomination ; io bis own
language: "tried to make traitor of
mc." He might have held in until be
was out of office, but for his accidental
discovery of indisputable evidence that
Mr. lysine bad mach to do with the
loss of his owu state, which he worked
so hard to keep in the republican
column. That settled it ; he had to
have bis say, and it was iu pretty close
accord with what niauy mem bers of his
party think without saying.
The question of pensions is one of the
most important that the coming admini
stration-and Congress will have to deal
wif-h ; it directly arfjc:s every man,
woman and child in the United States,
[t is now certain that there will be a
deficiency of 35,000,000 for the cur
rent fiscal year, which must be appro
priated at this session of Congress, and
those who ought to know estimate the
amouDt that will be required for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1893.
which must also be appropriated at this
essioo as .somewhere in the neighbor
hood of $200,000,000. lt is difficult
for human intellect to comprehend the
immensity of the pile of money
represented by those figures. If
represents more tban^ $o, for each
inhabitant of the country, and Secretary
Foster of the Treasury predicts that
before the close of Cleveland's adminis
tration it will take 250,000,000 a
year to pay the pensions-more than
all the other expenses of the country
added together-, lt is scarcely to be
wondered af that the old idea, champ
inned in the House som years ago by
lion. Wm K Morrison of Illinois, of
raiding the money to pay pensions by
imposing au income tax, should be
revived at this time. If pensiou
expenditures are to.keep-growing pome
extraordinary method of racing the
money will certainly have to bc resorted

There is so much rivalry among
Washingt>n democrats to be members
of the citizens committee wiich will
make the arrangement, for thc most
largely attended inauguration the
country has ever had thut if has resulted
in a more or less bitter wrangle for ils
control, between the National commit
teeman for the District, of Columbia,
who took the matter in his own hand
and forwarded the name of gentlemen
to bo members of the committee to
chairman IJanity for his approval, and
the central democratic committee, which
believes that it should have selected the
inaugural committee. Full details of
the claims of both sides ha7o been
forwarded to chairman liarrity ami his
decision will be cheerfully accepted by
all parties.
"Teddy" Kossevelt, the President of
one of the greatest Amciican humbugs
the Civil Service Cool miss-ion, has
J forgotten all about the numerous
prosecutions he was going to make for
violation of the law by various
individu is, . in eoliehtng campaign
contributions from Federal employes,
previous to the election, and is now
lying awake nights to stndy up schemes
to keep the democrats out of the
patronage to which they should be
eotk ed after the fourth of March next,
by extending the Civil Service to
branches of the Government to which it
never .wwsid hare been extended had
Harrison been re-elected. Mr. Harri
son has so far refused to endorse this
scheme to keep republicans in office
under a democratic administration by
issuing the necessary order to carry it
into effect, but he may be worried into
it yet. The people of this country have
voted against perpetual office holding,
and a democratic Congress might take a
notion to let this old hirro&ug ixe for
the want of an appropriation. The
tears would be few, and they wouldn't
be from democratic eyer.

Some Reform Measures.
^JKOTNVILLE; Nov. 15.-A. hill has been
prepared, and will be introduced in the Legis
lature by a member from this connty, r quir
ing the county com,T,: -stoners to take charge
of aad ftr d the prisoners of the county jail.
It is claimed that the bill will be passed and
that it ia a "retrenchment and reform"
measure. Advocates of the measure say that
sheriffs are now paid thirty cents a day for
feeding prisoners, when it does not cost over
ten cents a day. The coramissioners, it is
claimed, can buy food by the wholesale, and
probably keep the prisoners on less* than ten
cents a day.
Representative-elect SH aiaa will introduce
a bill, which be has already drawn up,
establishing a county court for Greenville,
! and it is not improbable that a bill making
cotroty courts all over the Sta-'.e will be
passed.
The bill for this county provides for a judge
at Si,OCH) a year salary and a prosecuting
attorney $500". The regular grand jury is to
consider indictments aud jurors will be
drawn as usual. The court wiil have juris
diction of ai* criminal cases except murder,
arson-, burglary, rape and a few ether serious
crimes, lt will also hea-r civil cases. The
court will be run wry much as circuit courts,
and the terms will be brid every other
month.-The State.
