WEDNESDAY, DEC 14,1892. **A Charge to Keep I Have." A beautiful incident connected with the great Democratic victory occurred in Atlanta, Ga? There is a little cannon in that city known as the ''Constitution Cannon." ?t 18 an enthusiastically patriotic Demo cratic gun, and. was used to celebrate every victory of our party since the redemption of the South from reconstruc tion rule After announcing the glad tidings in Atlanta, this little piece of ordnance makes a pilgrimage over the -State, but it is held in as much rever ence as tbe old Liberty Bel!, and after the demonstrations are over always finds ita way saMy back home. Col ums have been written about tbe gun, and it Was Henry Grady'a especial pet. In the Presidential contest of 1888, Grady placed a heavy charge in this cannon, with the expectation of touching it off with his own bands to celebrate Cleveland's re-election. But the ban ner of our party went down before the onslaught of purchased Republican ballote, and of course the little gun re mained dumb Grady was sorely dis tressed over the result, but never for an instant did his faitb waver in the eventual triumph of the principles of Democracy. So he carefully primed the cannon, pasted a piece of paper over the touch-bole and on this slip he wrote the words, 'A CHARGE TO KEEP I H AVK " The gnu was then carefully laid away, with a letter written by Henry Grady, in which it was stated that he hoped to live four years longer, when he intended to touch that same load off to elebrate tbe election of G rover Cleveland and the triumph of Democ racy. But there was srsciipt to the letter, in which tbe patriotic and gifted yoong Georgian asked if the hand of death was laid upon him before that auspicious day came, he wanted some friend to take the gun in front of the Constitution building, and let it an nounce for him to tbe people of Atlau t&, whom he loved so well, the glad tidings. Everybody in that city knew the etory of tbe cannon that Grady loaded, and when tbe wries began to flash the cews of tbe triumphant march of Democ racy, the little gun was brought forth from four years of silence and made ready to signal the expected news. Not for any consideration would that . eacred charge left by Grady be fired until victory was positively assured, and it was generally understood throughout the city that when the *'Constitution Cannon'' spoke it was evidence that the result of Cleveland's election was no longer in doubt. Tues day night aud Wednesday morning all ears were strained to hear the familiar boom. At tbirty-five minutes past one o'clock Wednesday afternoon there -came upon the wings of electricity to Captain Evan P. Howell from Chair -mao HaTrity these words: "Cleveland is elected! Lot Gradv's gun speak!'' Every man in the < ffice rushed into "the street. The paper placed by Gra dy's baud was torn off and the charge in the touch-hole was found to be dry and sound. In an instant the fuse was lighted, aud with a thundering report tbe gun beiched forth its glo rious and welcome announcement. The scene that followed beggars de scription. To the people of Atlanta that report was as the voice of one speaking from tbe dead. Every hat at once went into the air, and yells and cheers burst from fifty thousand throats. The report of Grady's charge was taken up and re-echoed by parks of artillery stationed ou the neigh boring heights. Every locomotive and -steam whistle in the city took up the j refrain, and never in the history of Georgia was there such demonstrative Senator Vance od Civil Ser vice. Senator Vance is an honest and a stalwart partisan, who makes no pretence to being what he is not, and is always candid enough to say just what he believes on political questions, or methods of proceeding in Governmental matters. Speaking of civil service in a recent interview, published in the State Chronicle, to which we have made reference in a .ober column, he says : "My civ l service views are well known. ? am opposed to civil service, ont and out, especially to the way in j -which it bas been applied. It is weil itnown that when the law was applied hy tbe Republican administration before it went into effect almost every t Sice in ihe gift of the Government was filled hy a Republican. In no case have tbe offices been divided between the parties, and whenever zny department of the Government has been transferred to what is koowu as the 'cla.-sih* -d service.' in order to be subjected to civil s-rviee roles, preliminary thereto the ?-ame pro cess of Republican cramming has b en resorted to. Notably this has been so in the case of the railway mail service. It has always been my disposition to j give the fodder to the horse which pull. the plow. Awkward as it may sound, j I prefer, as a politic party man. to adopt the motto Mo the victors belong the spoils,' rather than the converse, that the spot'* belong to the vat quished If the men who uin the fight are not entitled to the ? f?i -es it is neither ju-:ice nor common sense nor ordinary decency to say that they shall be held by those j who lost the fi^ht." As an illustration of the kind of horses that oats be raised iu South Car olina we note the sale la.-t week by Mr. j O. A. B>wen, of his three-year o'd i trotting mare "Aanjce, at the price ! of 03,000 '-Eunice" W3s sire?: by ' "Jim Lambert," and w.?s raised hy Mr. Bowen on the Rivoli stock fjtiu ueai FendSeton. She has been bandi d ' this season by trainer G. W. Ilaight, who took her with serverai other South J Carolina h rses, through the Nort. tin ; and Eist? m State* dmi.g the past! hummer. ftutoce has a record of *_?:'_'s and will g<? taster when >he gets older ' ?Cot:on Pant - . ! ") m? ? -urn The political editor of the Hartwrll Sun thus docs np a "Society" item tu that city: The other afternoon a Hartwell berte received a note from a young man saying that he would be glad to call that night for a joint debate if there should bo no third party present. The young lady lespondod that both the obi parties 1 ad gone on a ?sil and would not know "where you are at " The joint debate wat brld with closed doors cud lasted for four hours T?e Cost of Royalty. Whether (he American citizen grows week in his faith to Republican govern ment, and "doubts if we would not be just as well off under a king, any how'7 he may have his Democratic patriotism renewed by counting tbe cost. There is no reason to believe that the cost of running the country would be any less uuder royalty's yoke than it is now, and a glance at the dirTer j enee between tbe amouuts received by j the rulers of some of the leadiog countries of the world and by tbe President of the United States?the greatest country of them all?will open the eyes of the croaker. Here is the annual stipend of some of them : Emperor of Germany, ?3 744 172; ftmperor of Austria, $4,426.800; Emperor of Russia. $3,173.440 ; King of Spain, gl.808,820; King of Italy, ?2.865,520; Queen of Great Britain, $1 998,276; President of France, ?228.480 ;tPresideut of the United States, ?50,000. There are many persons in this country who think the salary of the president quite princely, and yet what a beggarly sum it is compared with the annoual incomes of emperors and kings. Even Republican Fraoce, with an area only about three-iourths that of the State of Texas, pays her president more thau four times as much as is received by the President of the United States. The PresideDt of the United States is, by comparison at least, a very poorly paid officer. The December Cosmopolitan. In view of the fact th*t Sir Edwin Arnold wilt very likely be the next poet-laureate, one turns with interest to his most entertaining article in tbe December Cosmopolitan on a "Japanese Watering Palee " The same number contains seven portait of Tennyson and interesting views of bis bite home and surroundings Tbos. German has penetrated the mysteries of the silent trappists" monastery wi'b a p-of*ne kodak ; Mural Halstead dis russes '-Varieties of Amerhan Journalisa? Herriu-tn throws, "Light on the Black Art" and Theodore Roosevelt and Maurice Thomp son each conninute interesting articles. A j feature of the number is twenty-four portraits ! of Parisian j>urnalists, with sketches of their work. A curious bit is found in the contrast of the double frontispieces which adorn tbe magazine?on one side the marvelous p-dot ?ag o? "The Cot.q terors," by Fritel, which attracted so much attention Ht tbe last Paris salon, ..no" on the other "The Conquered," by Anton Dietrich; in the one the heroes of war moving down the vista of the centuries in magnificent array between ghastly lines of nnk^d corpses, the other the unfortunate of a'i times ar_d lands flocking beneath tbe gentle hand of the loving Christ. The Cosmopoli tan will mark '3 first edition of 1 :000 copies?that for January?by the offer of 100G free scholarships. In return for introducing the Cosmopolitan into certain neighborhoods tbe Cosmopolitan offers to any young man or woman free tuition, bo*rd, lodging and laun dry at Yale, Vassar, Harvard, or ?ny of the leading colleges, schools of art, music, medi cine, or science. They send out a pamphlet on applicatiou telling how to obtain one of these free scholarships. -?m>~-+>+* mmm Small in size, great in results: De Witt's Little E;'rly Risers Best pills for Constipa tion.
