Privateer Personals. PRIVATEER, S C., Nov. 14, 1894. On Sunday the Rev. D'. W. H ?ott, of Wil hamston, was called to the pastorate of Bethel Caurch (Baptist). The Wedgefield Church was to call bim the same day, and the Calvary Church, ot Clarendon, will also call him, if it has not done &o already. It ts probably not often that two sisters are found teaching io the same township, but Privateer has an instance of this kind ; one of o3r yoong ladies, Hiss Carrie Cain, bas a Behool in the northern part of the township, and her sister, Hiss Helen Cain, bas a school in the southern part. Hiss Calley Wells is visiting in Orange burg, County. Mr. John Ingram has left for Florida, bis family will go later. Messrs. Marion Rivers and Sol Hudson will leave for the same State to-morrow. . The debating society which was organized some time ago at the line school house, io the sand hills is getting on very well. Mr. W. J. Ardis, of Manchester township, is Pre? sident. McD. F. WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, NOV. 19, '94. The d?mocratie Senators and Repre? sentatives who have been in Washing? ton since the election have with one or two exceptions talked io a manner that indicated the proper spirit. Their . greatest desire, they have said, is to allow the past to rest and to have the d?mocratie party take,a fresh start by getting together in Congress and adopt? ing some legislation that will help the conn try and inciden tally the democratic party, in 1896 .Just what legislation shall be acted apon is a question that will determine very coon how deep this anxiety for party harmony goes. The idea I have heard most generally ex? pressed by de m ocra ts is that Senators and Representatives should not commit themselves to the support of any parti? cular tariff or financial legislation until after the recommendations on those subjects contained in the President's an noa! message to Congress are made public. That would leave them free to accept the President's recomemenda? tions, should they be of such a nature as to be acceptable to the democratic party as a whole, which they are almost certain to be. With the democrats io Senate and Hooie acting in harmony much caq be accomplished in a legisla? tive way daring the three months o the short session ; without harmony there is no hope of accomplishing any? thing and-would not be even if the ses? sion were to be three times three months long. Since President Cleveland announced that his annual message to Congress would contain important financial re? commendations,, based upon Secretary Carlisle's annual report, democrats have been greatly interested In learning the nature of Secretary Carlisle's report, bat it is as yet a secret, confined to those who. have promished to keep it un ?il the report and the President's message are made public. Secretary Carlisle has not been at hts office for several days, preferring to work- upon- his report at his home where he is free from inter? ruption, lt is said that the system proposed wj& st$?ly tDe clag?city so bad^jfteepfa1 io||a||>i^ent^nanoid system.x Although Secretary Carlisle has alway&% been known a friend to sil? ver no one? who will te t?,-has found oat j what part silver is to play in the pro? posent mm wpm A laborious attempt is being made by certain parties to have it appear that President Cleveland bas exceeded his constitutional authority io dealing with the proposed mediation of the trouble between Japan and China. Their whole story is built open a false founda? tion. They say that President Cleve? land has offered to act as mediator. ? He has done noising of the kind. At' nae request of the Chinese government he directed Secretary Gresham to ask the Japanese Government if il would favorably consider a proposition to have the United States act as mediator in order to put an end to dbe war. It will be difficult to make sensible people, who are upon principle opposed to war, believe that the President exceeded his authority in thus trying to end a war between two nations with which we ire on friendly terms. Hov friendly we ?re with Japan may be judged from the fact that a new treaty has just been concluded with that country. There is little danger that the re? publicans of the next House will carry out the threat made by some members of their Congressional campaign com? mittee, to throw ont the entire Vir? ginia delegation, which is solidly demo? cratic. The democrats would not ask anything better than saco action by the republican House. It would not only keep Virginia solidly democratic but it would bring ont thousands of demo? cratic votes in other States. The lead? ers of the republican party are too shrewd to pat such a dab as that would be in the bands of the democrats, how? ever much the republican contestants from the Virginia District may beg. D?mocratie newspaper correspond? ents, who are aa a role great admirers of Secretary Carlisle, have been in hot water with their editors ever since that bond issue was announced, because they had on the personal authority of Secretary Carlisle, sent oat the positive statement that there would be no im? mediate issue of bonds. That Secre? tary Carlisle bad a good reason for throwing the boys off the track by teiliog them up to within forty-eight hours of the issue of the call for bids that no bonds would be issued is cer? tain, but to date* none of his newspaper friends have been able to find out to a certainty what it was. Speaking of the bond issue, present indications are that the amount to be issued-$50, 000. OOO-will be subscribed for two or three times over. This is gratifying to democrats, whether they approve of the issue of hoods or not, as it indicates io ao indisputable manner the con? fidence felt bj capitalists io the admin? istration S'?ru- democratic members of the House-notably Hooker, of Miss., and Baily, of Texas,-are criti? cising the administration for issuing bonds, bat the general impression is that no formal action will be taken on the subject by Congress. mam ' 1 > ' - Success in Life depends on little things.
