WgpygSDAY, MARCH 8,1898. Th? Faculty Declines to He oon?der. Th? faculty of the Sooth Car ol i aa College are immovable ia their stand lo regard to the suspension of the yoong ?en who participated in the recent bca?re escapade? The committee of estacas who attempted to ietereede for the boys bed their troubl? for their pain*, as will be seen from the reply made by the faculty, pub? lished below. The faculty held a lengthy session after tho committee left them, aad took ample time to render their decinion, which was banded to Capt. DeePortes by President Woodrow is parson yesterday morning. The reply reads as follows : "COLOMBIA, S C.. March ?; 1893 ?'Messrs. R. S. DesPortes, L F. You naas, W. A. Mette, F. W. McMas ter and others. "Gentlemen : As was promished at the dose of oar ioterview yesterday, the faculty of the college gave the most careful consideration to the views pre? sea ted by y ou sod to the petition from the students, of which you were the bearers. I need hardly repeat that if toe faculty could have seen their way olear to take the course recommended by their friends and neighbors, whom they hold io the highest esteem, it weald have delighted them to do so. Bat it puna ae to say that they could Bot, and that they " we unable to grant the students* reque?*. "With sentiments of the highest re? spect, ? aa yours very truly, "JAMBS WOODROW, President.99 Capt. DesPortes was seen later by a State reporter, bat said that he had no comment to make except that the com? mittee bad been actuated solely by a kindly feeling and sympathy for the students tn the matter, and had only to regret that they bad acceompiished no good. That the action dees sot meet with approval k is needless to say. Every ooo eoustdere, without a desire to criticise tbe faculty harshly, that they bave acted rather arbitrarily under ?the circumstances. ? Tbe students are wot exactly satisfied with tbe action of toe faculty, bat just what action they will taie bas oat fees determined. They bad a meeting last night, it it understood with the purpose of with? drawing from the institution in a body, bat tbe proceedings of the meeting were kept very quiet. Several of the stu? dents were asked about the meeting but they all refused to talk. It fair to in* far that BO immediate action was adviped. From what bas been learned aU action will be postponed until .future day -The State, Marah 2. Democracy on Trial, There is owe very important thing to Ibo remembered : tbe Democratic party ii? BOW oo trial. Ia North Carolina the pres eat L?gislature is making a record that may be for thc good of the Siate ?nd fer the benefit of -the party. It may bave done something to encourage and confirm public confidence or it may have so acted as to baodteap the party lia the seat election. The Messenger will not BOW undertake to make a balance sheet, but it witl be made aad by tbe people and at the ballot-box ia toe next eleetioo. If the vieioua Homestead law is to eoutiaoe; if the preferred creditor8* business is to go on with its injustice aad wrongs ; if money is to be warred upon aad tts value limited to 4? per cent, which if put into all kinds of busi? ness it may bring 100 per eeat and oe barn done ; if knowledge sod teaming are to be taxed as if they were a crime, when there is no over-plus of those precious articles io the State ; if men with small earniogs are to be discrimi? nated against-if th ese and other follies ore to be perpetrated aad to mark the standard of tbe ability of the Legislature of 1893, to save the State aod develop ifs resources and poi it upon a higher plane of progress, then these things will be beard from hereafter and many a vote will be lost to tbe party. In National matters the present Dem* cora tic E ouse aa* doa e oe titile io rec? ord making. If it bas done anything to increase publia aon&denee in the party they represent we do not know what it ts. Perhaps they have done bettor than oe now think and have betided better than they knew. Tba Democrats in 1890 on the hus? tings aad in the newspapers made a big tvdeover Tom Reed's Billion Dollar Coogroes. That was all right, it was just what should have been done, and tbe Democrats ought to have been hon? est ia doing it, and have shown their faith by their works, aod have proved their sincerity by their action. But what bas been done ? The very Congress that succeeded Reed'? robber body, that went io on a tidal-wave, has actually gone beyond Reed*? Billion Dollar Congress, It has. with 150 Democratic majority in the House, voted away more money than tbe Reed g ?og voted away. Tbe amount, appro piated this session is $519 273 447. That is for one year. President Buchanan's Democratic Administration ran the Grvernment to the great satis fac ion of the people upon from $65 . 000.000 to some J75.000.000 a year. Tbe population is bot little more than double. This Congress votes away in one year enough money to hare ron tbe Government from 1854 to 1860 inclusive. Ia cot that record making with a vengeance? There is this to be said. About $167,000,000 must be deducted for the outrageous pension robberies and oppressions. Even the trae Northern soldiers are now favoring a reform in pension law?. The Grand Army Gazette speaks ont io clarion tones against the iniquity. Ic says the incoming Administration mast revine the pension list. It plainly says that the roil has been lengthened "beyond al! reasonable or even oredible dimen? sions.'* Generals Grant and Garfield, both Presidents, favored a small pension list, Dot to exceed, we believe, $30, 000,000 annually Behold how it has leaped and swelled under tbe Harrison incapables and unfaithfuls. The Cleveland Administration and the Fifty-Third Congress will soon go into the record making business. Thc Democrats for the 6rst time sioee 1860 will have control of both the Administrai ve aod Legislative branch? es. Tbe judiciary rennins almost j entirely Republican. We believe Mr. I Cleveland will make a strenuous and honest effort to bring about some very mach nee led ' reforms. He will, cf course, be arbitrary aod self willed and i JL JL JCL deaf to what Democratic leaders maj say or even the Congress may do, bot he he will strive to save the country from macy burdeos and to restore the Government to a sounder, wiser, more patriotic basis. This wo believe. He may fail, bot be is going to make the effort. Having no possible chance of hating President again he will act often, we may anticipate, as if he were not a Democrat and bad no party back of him. That thready being given ont by his fr rends in the North. One of his party papers io the North says this. "The Administration is to be the I best that he eao give the country. He will not strive to do those things which the politicians want. The second Cleveland Admioistratioo will be along even a higher level of independence and reform tbao the first." j That means, we suppose, ;hat he will do as he pleases and without regard to bis party. We COD fees we have no great confidence in his success if he is bold and nowise enough to play that game. Jobo Tyler tried it ooce aod failed outright. But Mr. Cleveland may be wiser. If he antagonizes bis party io Congress he will make a lamentable failure aa a reformer. Bot whatever happens the Domocrats will sono be making more record, and opoo it they succeed or fail in the elec? tions of 1894? Let os all sustain the right as we see % Let ns follow no false leaders, o o ignoramuses io politics, 00 ailoriog wil!-o the-wisps. States? manship, honesty, patriotism, a thor? ough knowledge of the financial and economic situation are needed now as perhaps were oever needed before. There is ooe pleasant anticipation to be indulged. The new Administration will be for peace with all nations, op? posed to all commercial clap trap, against all deceptive aod dashing "Jingoism,** and willsostaio thc Amer? ican honor aod name the world over. You will not catch Grover Cleveland advocating foreign "entangling al? liances," annexation of semi-savages, aod bestowing pensions opon sleek aod stupid half-breeds aod dusky damsels fat aod greasy.-Wilmington Messen? ger. - -i ?????? - Of late there bas been much discus? sion as to the methods of the distribu? tion of Federal patronage ander Mr. Cleveland's administration, especially io Naw York and South Carolina. These are the two pivotal States, or at ?least t?ey are so regarded, wheo it cooees tade?v.i&g the course which will be ?*reaed by Mr Cleveland and his cabi? net ?o tie distribution of favors among thoee -who op^sse-d his nomination with activity and ?ve? bitterness. Now we take it tJ&at the President who bas been twice chosen by the people is too great a mao te beeierishing petty animosities and uowort&y jealousies, and he is far too w?ee a mao to bc parecUing oat the places of positioo aod power by the rule af-three. He is too eiear-sighted and -sagacious to become a party to any arrangement which divides the patron? age like aa army commissary would issue ratious to separate regiraenst. Tte primary qualification for office ?oder die OeUveland administration is adbesieo te the principles of the Demo? cratic party, and this test will be ap? plied io 'many ways including a retro? spect of tile kat earn paige. Because a cabinet einher has been taken fion among the men who were formerly Republicans, and the choice has fallen opon a very recent convert, it does not follow that the advocacy of undemo? cratic doctrines is the last campaign gives a right to claim honors aod eoaoi?me&U at the hands of Mr. Cleve? land and his associates. A convert to Democratic doctrines tn one thing, bat an advocate of contrary principles is quite another thing. The difference will be made clearly apparent tn a very ?hort time. When it comes to the individual seek? ing oSce ander the Cleveland adminis? tration, after a genuine Democracy is made the basin, the, next test will be the fitness and capacity of the ap? plicant. The Democratic party ba? been placed on trial again, and mach will depend opoo the conduct of its repr?sentatives who aro giveo official positions. Capable and trustworthy meo io every community, reflecting credit upon the government and show? ing fidelity to the best interests of the people, will aid materially in perpetu? ating the rule of the Democracy. No one bas a better appreciation of this faot than Mr. Cleveland, who long ago said that "public office is a pubiio trust/' and he is not apt to select inefficient men for the discharge of pbblic duties. Nor do we expect to find party ser? vice ignored in the selection of public oficiala, it is oot a chief requisite, oor is it a virtue io itself. Other things being equal, the mao who bas given time aod talents for the furtherance of sound doctrine and the promotion of good government surely deserves aod will receive recognition at the hands of an administration whose corner-stone is allegiance to Democratic principles No better way bas been found to propagate snob principles than to em? ploy the energies and enlist the talents of those who are in full sympathy with their practical application, and it will be a great surprise to the country if the incoming adiuiniotra?i<m does not make Democracy stronger and more emphatic than ever before.-Greenville News. A Bad Wreck. A misunderstanding of orders, a shrill whistle and a (earful crash, re? sulting in a costly wreck of two en? gines and fifteen or twenty cars, was the misfortune of the Atlantic Coast Line on Wednesday afternoon. The wreck occurred near M o nek's Corner and was a hoad end collision between a freight train and a material train. The shi ll whistle of the engine warned the ciewsof the approaching danger and everybody jumped from j both trama, thus avoiding death, which would inevitably have occur, red in the wreik A wrecking trail? was sent to the scene of the wreck at once but the track was not cleared until Thursday. The fast trains north and south over the Northeastern road had to j run over the South Carolina ' road around by Camden June-j lion, causing a delay of two ' hours or more to many passengers who are en route to the inaugural j The track was cleared on Thursday alto all trains are now running on schedule time. lt is said that Sheriff Nance, of Abbeville, wf-nf. home from Charleston | on a free p*** issued to him by ..Hunch" McB ?

CHARLESTON, March 1-To the Cotted States District Court today the questioo of the constitutionality of the State liquor dispensary law was argued, and disposed of by Judge Simon ton. The complainants in the case are A. and E. Cantini, two Italian subjects en? gaged in the liquor business here. Their lawyers are T. W. Baeot and G. F. VonKolnitz, members of the bar, neither of whom, however, have been retained by the State Liquor Dealers' Association. The matter was kept very quiet, and nothing was known of the case until the decision was filed late this afternoon. Judge Si mon ton's decision is very ex? haustive. Tbe following is a summary of tbe points made by the complaint and the rulings of the court thereon : First. It is alleged that the State dispensary act is io violation of Section 10, Article 1, Constitution of the Uni? ted States, forbidding States, without the consent of Congress, to levy any imports or duties oo imports or exports except what may be absolutely neces? sary for executing ita inspection laws. The court rules that there is BO pro? vision of this act open to this objection. Second. That the act is in violation of section 2, article 4, and also the four? teenth amendment, which declares that no State shall make or eoforoe any law whnh sha!! abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. The court declares that there is no inherent right in a citizen to sell intoxi? cating liquors by retail ; that the right to sell ictoxicaticg liquors is not ooo of the rights growing out of citizenship of the United States. Third. The complaint charges that the dispensary act is m violation of the fifth amendment of the Constitution of the United States, which for? bids the taking of property without due process of law, and the taking of private property for poblic use without just compensation. To this the court rules that acts done in the proper exercise of governmental powers, and not directly encroaching on private property, although their conse? quences may impair its use, do not enti? tle the owner of such property to com? pensation from the State. That the de? struction of property io the exercise of the police power of the State, wheo such i property is used io violation of law in maintaining a poblic nuisance, is not the taking of property for public nee, and does not deprive the owner of it without due process of law. Fourth. The complaint alleges that the law is in violation of the Constitution of the State, which requires that every act or resolution shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed in irs title. The court is very positive in its rul? ing on this subject. It says it is a set? tled principle of parliamentary law in this State that so long as the enacting words remain io a bill ! it can be amended to any extent, even by striking ont all up to the enacting words and inserting other words as a substitute. The Constitution does not require every ; word in an act to be read three separate times oo three separate days. If it did, no important bill ever became, or can become, a law. Fifth. The complaint urges that the plaintiffs are Italian subjects, and are protected by the treaty, arnole 2 of which gives them the liberty to travel in the States and Territories, to carry on trade, wholesale and retail, to hire and occupy houses and warehouse, etc., upon the same terms as the natives of the country. Article 3 gives them constant protection and security for ?heir persons and property and tte same rights and privileges as are granted to the natives. Judge Simon ton says, under these articles the complainants have the sarao rights as citizens of the United States, and it would be absurd to say that they had greater rights. The right to sell intoxicating liquors is not a right in bereut in a citizen, and is not one of the privileges of American citizenship. It is not within tbe protection of the fourteenth amendment. It is within thc police power, wich is a right preserved by the State that has oot been delegated to the general government. In its lawful exercise the States are absolutely sovereign. Such exeroise cannot be affected by any treaty stipulation.-The State. mm a* The Case of The State. COLOMBIA, March 3 -Attorney Gen? eral Townsend will probably hare his petition for habeas cropus and brief for the United States Supreme Court ready by to-morrow. It bas been practically oompleted for some time with the ex? ception of a few affidavits, but the Attorney General has not thought it proper to give it out to the public. The petition for a babeas corpus is practi? cally the only part of it that would be especially interesting to the public, so it would give the position to be taken by the State in the big fight. Although it cannot be taken to be absolutely correot, the following points raised will give a general idea, of the position taken : First, that the injunction is really against the State of South Carolina and is a suit against the Sfate, which is contrary to the Constitution ; and second, that to fine or imprison Sheriff Riser would make it impossible for the State to execute its laws by its agents. So far as could be ascertained these two are among the chief points made, but the petition covers six or eight pages of the ordinary Supreme Court brief paper, and of course other aod may be equally as strong points are ra i st-d on the Administration side. Thc am iavits referred to are ihose of the auditors and sheriffs of various counties as well as of members of the State board of equalization, in which it is averred that the assessments were made accord? ing to the actual value of the property and that there was no discrimination against thc railroads by cither the coun? ty or thc State board and that all were treated exactly right. Major Townsend wiil go to Washington Sunday after? noon in time to reach there Monday morning, wh<n thc ease will be called before the Supreme Court.-News and Courier. - m -?

The thanks of the weekly press are due to Bro. A. B. Williams for his kind expression of their value express? ed in connection with comment on the recent insult of the News and Cou? rier. Brother Williams says: It is announced that the News and Courier will hereafter refuse to ex? change for weekly newspapers unless the difference in subscription price is paid in cash or advertising. It is true that the arrangements for local correspondence now possible make the weekly newspapers almost value? less for news purposes. They are valuable, however, as guides for shap? ing the policy and regulating the ed? itorial tone of thc daily newspapers. They are very close to the people and express what the people are thinking and saying. We read the neighborhood correspondence of our weekly ex? changes with far more interest than the newe columns of the New Yolk dailies. They tell ns the thoughts and feelings at the cross roads, tbs country store piazzas and the springe at the churches, and how to meet and deal with all the varying interests and sentiments among the voters. The Greenville News, if it had to choose, would rather go without the New York and Chicago newspapers than the South Carolina weeklies. With such papers as the Greenville News, Columbia State, Register and Journal. Augusta Chronicle, aud oth? er papers at our hands the News and Courier might be sacrificed at little cost to the weekies, but it is not un? likely that they will make the insult offered them felt by the News and Courier. The News and Courier since the death of Capt. Dawson has never been within hailing distance of the thought and feeling of the people of the tr tate To it there has been no world outside of the News and Courier office, and it has lived simply because of the lack of real competition -Florence Times ---?-??>?- -ft Governor Tillman is not to blame after all ; it was the Attorney Gee eral who got the State into a snap with the railroads-Clinton Gaz?tte.
