permit her to do, io regard to th
annexation of the islands.
The Anti option bill bas passed th
Senate. The cotton men say that th
business will be ruined if it becomes
law. It is a debatable question, ho?
over, cotton is too important a produc
far a law to wreck the business c
handling it.

it is unconstitutional, and are employ

prepared to make a stubborn fight.
The Columbia Canal seems doomed
to continual notoriety. Its last mishap
was the other day wheo the bottom
dropped out and all the water escaped in?
to the river through a eulvert which runs
under the canal. The damage, is not
serious and will be repaired by the city
A dog law has been the st sn dio g joke
of the Legislature for a number of
sessions, and waits for some genius of
the Evans type to evolve some scheme
that will abolish the yaller dog,
(theoretically) and still allow every
colored individual to keep as many an
ean find a living foraging on the
neighbors.
President-elect Cleveland has the
reputation of being a very accessible
sod patient mao to offi:e-seekers and
cranks generally, but be bas announced
that he de>ires to be left undisturbed
ootil March 4th, as he a great deal of
important work to accomplish before
theo. He sbou!d be allowed a month
of peace, at least, before going tuto
office.

total from 537 to 220. and we belie'
the average will hold good in ot h

ABSOLUTEIPR?HI^TION.
Governor Tillman has delivered nini
self in regard to those counties io whicl
it is the purpose of the Prohibitionist
to refuse tbeir signatures to any appli
cant for . tuc position of County Dis
penser. He says :
"It is roy opinion, and it may be takei
for what it is wortb, tba \ any Prohibittonis
wbo refuses to co-operate witb me in th
establishing of any dispensaries by not 6ign
ing the petitions of the dispensers au<
assisting the Government in even
possible, way to enforce, rather . thai
to prevent it going into ttTr-ct, wi!
retrret it. The threatened alliance be
tween the wbipkey men and otb?r pol?tica
opponents, who are bitterly opposed to th?
law, may bring a' out sucha3tateof dissatis
faction as Viii seriously cripple ma in m j
efforts to help the ca :se of temperance.
"If the Prohibitionists." he continued
"are bamboosled by the opposition into lend
ing tbeir aid to this end they will find them
selvet* in the condition of the dog in tlx
fable, who, seeing bis shadow reflected in ttx
water, snapped at it and iost what he had
There will be absolnute prohibition in even
county where ?be sale of liquor is prohibited
by law, not even druggists being allowed tc
sell it for medicine, nor ca-.[it. be shipped inte
those counties by express or otherwise undei
?be new law, r*nd, therefore, the experiment
as to whether the people will stand absoluu
prohibition will be made in at least ten coun?
ties, and I shaii take particular pains to se?
that the law is as strictly enforced in these
counties as it is anywhere else, let it bring
what it may. It will be time enough for tb?
Prohibitionists to advance to a stronger posi?
tion after tbey have found that they caa bold
what they have alreauy gained."
If refusing to sign a petition will
give absolute prohibition, then the pro?
hibitionists should, with one accord, re?
fuse to sign a petition,and Gov. Tillman
stands pledged to do the rest. If he
will see that prohibition will be enforced
to the utmost lt tn ir, let us then have
prohibition.
We have ever taken the ground that
absolate prohibition is impossible, but
our friends, the prohibitionists, have
ever and again assured us that it was
not only possible, but as practicable to
enforce a prohtb tory law. as to enforce
one against murder.
They have just as often declared
themselves only too anxious to have a
test of the matter made under favorable
circumstances. Now they have an op?
portunity to make the ks*, and the
Governor and the whole State govern?
ment stands ready to uphold this law
Will the test be made ?
We favor absolute prohibit!or? if it
can be obtained, and'do so on the prin?
ciple that liquor does much more harm
than good, and that it is possible to get
along without it. Consequently we
have the curiosity to see the experiment
tried. If it proves a failure afrer a year
or longer, the remedy is at hand. We
oan petition for the appointment of a
dispenser, and at the same time make
arrangement for the establishment of a

Cheap Money for Planters.
Mr Alexander Hamilton Gunn, of;
Scotland, wa* io C'iailesttwi yesterday'
on business for the Union JJ ?ok of South I
Carolina aud h ndon {Ie w?s staying I
at the Charleston Hotel, where; he said
be received thc finest treatment arid tho
best fare he had seeu in America except1
in New Yoi k
Mr. Gunn came to the city f r the \
purpose of employing a solicitor, and !
he offered the position to a prominent
attorney in Broad street.
"Our p t poso/" said Mr. Gunn, "is
to get as large a clientage as possible.
While making ir the clearing houe?e of
the South, we are determined to do
away wau the present system of loaning
money and propose to gire the planters
ap opportunity to borrow money on a
fair and reasonable basts as is dooe in
England. The system there is entirely
different from what it is io the United
States. The direction in England is an
important one even among banking
institutions. Each director holds a
large vested interest in the capital of
the company. The ehsirman of the
board has over ten thousand pounds
sterling in the company, and others
have even more than that,
"The object of the bank is, as tn
prospectus sets forth, to advance money
to planters and others. Io fact, we
intend to control the entire cotton inter?
est of the country. There is another
important body associated with our
bank, and so it is notas if we English?
men were coming here to ask them to
do something for us. We prefer to
have the borrowers a stockholders, even
if for only one share.
"We look oo the national banking
system here as little more than extortion,
lu fact the business of tbe Jewish
money lenders io England in surpassed
by the bankers of America, who ought
not to be ashamed to be called jackals
from New York. We expect to extend
all over the Southern States, and so have
these men as customers. We mean to
lend money at an average rate of 5 per
cent, and no other bank here can afford
to carry on business on the same prin?
ciple, because in England we trade on
uncalled capital and are thereby enabled
to lend money at a low rate of interest, as
we keep it turning over, and hence are
enabled to declare great dividends. We
had rather have a holder of one share
to tell his neighbor where to borrow
money cheap than to have a man with
a hundred shares.
"We will shortly open our doors
with not not less than two million
sterling- We have already arranged
with another institution that has a mil?
lion sterling aud a large amount paid
up to merge with our concern."
The prospectus is an elaborate one.
Tbe general idea may be gathered
from the contents of the outside page,
which reads as follows :
The Union Bank of South Carolina
and London, chartered and limited,
20,000 shares and 100 founders* shares.

WASHINGTON LETTES.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 1893.
President-elect Cleveland has loog
?go Fhown that he possesses the rare
faculty of being able to see and to do
the right thing at the right time and
place. Therefore it was not surprising
that his telegram of condolence should
have been among the first received by
the widow of James G. Blaine, the
American statesman. Although dif
fenn g widely in many of their ideas
there was one bond of sympathy be?
tween them, one prominent trait tn the
character of each of them that the other
could admire without forgetting their
political differences, and that was tbe
intense Americanism, which was the
keystone of Mr. Blaine's great popular?
ity, and which makes Grover Cleveland
the most popular living American to?
day. And therein lies a lesson that
should not be lost upon men ambitious
of popularity and power. There never
was a period io the history of our coun?
try when sturdy, uncompromising
Americanism was more highly appre?
ciated by the masses tban it is now.
Mr. Blaine's funeral, whiob was held
today at tbe Church of tho Covenant,
was by request of the family made as
simple as possible. The pall bearers
were ali intimate personal friends of the
deceased and the services at the church
were confined to the reading of the
Presbyterian burial ritual and a prayer
by the pastor. With the exception of
an organ dirge before and after the
short service, played by Walter Dam
rosch, the husband of one of Mr.
Blaine's daughters, there was no music.
Not one-tenth of the people who wanted
to atteod the funeral could get in the
church, and a very large crowd remain?
ed outside during the services and after?
wards followed thc remains to Oak Hill
cemetery, where the interment was
made, Mr. B.ainc having requested that
he be buried by the side of his son
Walker, who died suddenly several
years ago. There was much disap?
pointment here because the funeral was
nut puhtic and at the Capitol. Con?
gress adjourned from Saturday to two
o'clock this afternoon to give its mem?
bers an opportunity to attend the fune?
ral and ali of the Government buildings
were closed today.
Unless there is great change in the
present opinion of the Democratic Sen?
ators nothing short of a cloture rule,
which the Senate refused to adopt when
the Force Bill was under consideration,
will enable thc Republicans to confirm
the nomination of the Republican sue
cessor to the late Justice Lamar, whom
Mr. Il an issa is said to be deteraiiued
to nominate. The Democratic Senators
are unanimous in the belief that this
vacancy should be filled by a democrat
and they will not allow a vote to be
taken on the nomination of a republi?
can unless compelled to do so by a clo?
ture rule.
The Howe committee on Rules has
set a-ide February 0 and 10 *or the
consideration of the Andrew*s bill for
the repeal of the Sherman Silver law.
The g?nerai impression eeems to be
that a vote will not be reached, al?
though a number of the friends of the
bill express confidence iu its being
passed.
It the Postmaster General holds the
reception to the employes of his depart?
ment which was to have been held at
his residence tonight, the invitations to j
which were withdrawn on account of the
death of Mr. Blaine, he will retire from
office with the personal illwill of nine?
tenths of the white employes of the
department. The reason ls oot difficult
to locate. In sending out the invita?
tions for the reception he included all of
the negro laborers, watchmen, messen?
gers, and scrub women on the depart?
ment payroll, and the white, clerks^
particularly the females, object to asso?
ciating on terms of social equality with
the negeoes.
Considerable interest is felt as to
what position the administration will
take on the petition of the provisional
Hawaiian government for annexation to
the United State. Whatever view Mr.
Harrison may take of the matter it is
hardly probable that any action will be
taken by tb* present Coogress.
The House Ways and Means commit?
tee is putting in some hard .work study?
ing and digesting the Treasury state?
ment furnished by Secretary Foster last
week, and Senator Carlisle has taken a
copy of it over to Presidont-elect Cleve?
land.
Senator Carey has given notice of two
amendments to the House bill for the
admission of New Mexico ; one inclu?
ding Utah and Oklahoma in accordance
with a decision of the Republican
caucus, and another including those
two and Arizona. Unless the plans of
the Republican caucus are changed it
is very doubtful whether any vote will
be reached on this question at the pres?
ent session.
The election of Representative Mitch?
ell, of Wisconsin, who was Chairman
of the Democratic Congressional Com?
mittee in the last campaign, to the
Senate is gratifying to Democrats here,
and they regard the promotion as de?
served.
THE SNOW SHOWEE.
Lines For My Friends at Pleasant Bill.
Slumber bad long in sweet forgetfulness
Locked ap my senses ; lulled to deep repose
By the slow pattering of the winter rain
Beating with watery footsteps on the earth,
I had been waudering through the land of
- dreams,
That fairy land where fancy bolds ber reign
Within imagination's airy balls.
Mem'ry with lingering feel bad trod the
paths
Of long-departed joys, wept over the graves
Of buried bones, and with ber magic glass
That glass which like a panorama, brings
In quick review the varied scenes of life;
Revealed the misty past in startling hues;
While ever and aeon, her low sweet strains
Came like soft music o'er her shadowy sea ;
Telling the story ot those by-g*>ne years,
In tones whose melody entranced the soul.
Thus journeyed night around our sleeping
world
Wrapped in ber gloomy robes of mystic
shade
Beneath whose fold* so mach of good and ill
Of joy and woe is hid.
Morn came at length
From out the dewy East, io silent pomp.
.'See, see, look oat ?" thus rang a merry
voice
Close to my dreaming ear. Its music waked
il y slumbering senses, and I started up.
The sash was lifted and the heavy blinds
Thrown back, so that the strange and bril?
liant scene
Flashed on my eyes, like some bright picture
drawn
By rare enchantment.
Winter from his throne
Of ice and frost, had laid his mantle down
Upon the silent earth, on bill and vale,
On tree and shrub, covering them all with
robes
Serenely white, as those with which we
shroud
The still cold clay of dear departed frieods
When they are placed-to sleep their dream?
less .sleep,
On the kind bosom of their mother earth,
Or that we fold about the brid', when forth
From home and its endearments, she goes out
With one whose smiles or frown, is her life's
all
Of hope and happiness. The trees were bent
With the pure drapery, their leafless limbs
Glistening like battle spears-their shining
trunks
Like thick-mailed warriors clad in burnished
steel.
Nature had donned her winter gala dress
In honor Of the new-born infam year,
And opened up her rainbow treasury,
In which she hides during the loBg dreary
months,
The georgeous hues of Spring and Summer
time,
Hanging au arch on every bonding twig
And ou each browo and withered leaf or
flower,
Her jewel-casket had been brought and gems
Of every form and hue-from ruby red
To the clear, shining light of the pale pearl
Were strewn in latish wealth, to catch the
light
Of the first sun thtt had illumined the year.
Nature in every change is beautiful,
Ia ber bright youth when through the laugh?
ing earth
Gladness and joy are heard, and beauty
smiles
From each low violet dell, and lily bank :
In Summer's prime wheo flowers and luscious
fruits
Teem on her fields and hills, plenteous and
rich ;
In sober Autumn's melancholy days,
When the green trees put on their russet
robes,
And the frail flowers bend their perfumed
heads
Beneath the falling leaves-in Winter fury
When shivering winds rattle the forests bare
And the wild storm-king from his Artic
home
'Mid cloud* and tempests, comes with frosty
breath
To sail 1 those mighty pulses of the earth ;
Loud rushing river and furious roaring brook,
Or drift the crystal rain with noiseless show?
ers
In feathery heap? about the frozen earth.
Oh 1 should we not io every change bow
down
Before the Unseen Power which rules the
world
"And look through nature up to Nature's
God."

Oh, dreaming lad, thy years are few
In the kind protection of a mother dear;
But think of the mauy things to do
In this wondrous world of care.

For tier's soon will be bearen's charms
To help the angels sing.

Remember manhood's glorious dawn

What weans this grand display before thy

Who put those glories there ?
Tis God j who with his own band
Made yon and, ob, what bliss
That in this universe so grand
Be made you one of bis.
So in thought in word, and in deed
Strive to make thyself a man
After the pattern that God bas laid
And moulded with bis band.
Can mind be held Fn any band
That circumstance ever laid,
And stunted there as the years roll round
To wither and to fade.
Ob, no, witb intellect to lead the way
What are the chains'of chance ?

Go upward, onward, ever higher
Strive to make a name,

TRIBUTE OP RESPECT.
WHEREAS, AS we once again meet in
monthly-communication to renew the
obligations we have taken to "love one
another, and be friendly towards all
mankind," we are painfully reminded
of the impotency of buman will and of
our dependence upon divine aid. Our
ranks have been invaded, our chain
has been broken, and death, the great
leveller, has stricken down in the pride
of manhood one of our best and truest
members. He struck the fatal blow
and on the 13th of January the soul of
pur beloved brother, C. F. A. BUXTMAX
winged its Hight into the presence of
God who gave it. After months of
sickness and suffering, with the hope
of a greater immortality before him,
quietly and peaceable as a child who
goes to sleep, surrounded by those he
he loved, lie breathed his last, and dy?
ing, has left, as a legacy for his child?
ren, a spotless name
"That life is better life, past fearing
death,
Than that which lives to fear."
Be it Resolved, That in the death of
Brother C. F. A. Bultman, Claremont
Lodge, Uso. 64, A. F. M., has lost a true,
tried and worthy member, a Mason
who exemplified by his daily acts, the
teachings of our order, an npright,
honest man, fearing God and eschew?
ing evil ;' the State a true citizen, who in
her hour of need rallied to her defence,
and in peace, respecting and conscien
tieusly obeying the laws of his coun?
try; his Church a true and consistent
member willing to help and do all he
could to further its interest; his fami?
ly, a tender, kind and loving- husband
and a considerate and indulgent fath?
er.
Resolved, That a page in our Record
Book be dedicated to the memory of
Brother Bultman, showing thereon the
date of his birth and death.
Resolved, That our sympathies be
tendered to the family of our deceased
brother with the hope that time, the
healer of all woes will bring balm to
their wounded hearts.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso?
lutions be sent to the family our de?
ceased brother, and be published in
the papers of our city.
