GANlf ON BROKEN PROMISES. I In 1890 the farmers w^rc crg<aui?eu into what is known as the Reform Movement. They wore toll by their leaders that taxes wero too high ; that salaries of State officers should be rcduc ed ; that the old ring crowd would not relinquish office wheu ouee in power, but only rotated from a lower position to a higher ooe. Well, the p or, deluded f ?rui *r swallowed all this and wont to tbo polls and did j?M what he was told to uo. lie placed implicit reliance in the promises of his leaders and believed all t hey told him. Well, what is the result? One year, two years, three years, four years passed under the benign roigu of "Reform/' and still not n single ouc of these proui- , ises made to the "dear people" has been ( fulfilled. The same salaries lixed when cotton was bringing about 8100 per bale i i ? ' i ? ' UI V I J-U iv uuuiunaou, anu wlien it takes I a iiiauiuioth bale to bring 8-3. Wo ' liud every State oflicc in Columbia filled 1 with idle aud expensive clerks, all drawing handsome salaries with uuwaveriug 1 regularity, and who do the work that l the heads of departments were elected s to perform. We find the St<ite Treasur- , cr with an ofiioe full of clerks, aud yet . he has time to act as president of a | bank and also niuuago the (.ilobo Phos- , phatc Company. j The Scriptures tell us that a man cannot serve two masters, and yet we find ( our Stale Treasurer serving three. Now, ' if Treasurer Mates has time to look after 1 outside business he could certainly by 1 giving up that business discard one or ff more of his clerks and do that work j himself. It is tiie same with the Sccrc- i tajry of State, Attorney General aud school commissioner. All have men cm- j ployed to do the work that they were j elected to perform themselves. Mut the granilt st farce is giving the Adjutant / and Inspector tieneral an assistant to 1 help him do nothing. There arc iiun- a died- of oi l Confederate soldiers in 0 South Carolina who would take the j >b t fr. viewing the militia companies of our 0 and be glad to receive 8300 in- c ste. I of 83.000 for the work. Aud e wV. j this olhoer travels his entire ex- 0 **> - must be paid by the farmer. Hut ? the it ?ii \ \ " ii not all. \\ c pay our J udges just GO neb per year more than ncightcs pay their judiciary. '"j .et us reason this matter : Sup- ' a farmer hires a baud for 8100 a V jv.ii ui iL-nu a ceriaiu piece of hnd. 11 When pay day comes that employee not a only douiauds that you pay his owu l> wages, but you find that ho has employ- w ed perhaps a half-dozen oilier men to b help him tend that one-horse crop, and c makes you also pay thorn for a full year's work. And yet this is just what tl we arc doing in South Caroliua under the benign aod ' economizing" reign of so-called "reform.If these public C officers cannot attend to the duties that M - . they were elected to perform why let them resign, and we will guarantee that ' an hundred just as good and capable tl men will be found ready and willing to d take their places for one-half the salary s] they receive. And again When our s< people employ a man to do a certain ?^"""'"^Hece^rwoTirThey expect him to doVha'. g( woik himself and not hiro some ono c else. Now, if there is any reform in requiring the farmer to make live-cent cotton ,J to pay the oauie salaries as when our 11 staple brought three times and a half that price, we cannot see it with tho ^ largest sized magnifying glass. In other a words, those blatant "Reformers" whom a the people gave office to in 1SD0 are \\ (lemandiug and receiving the samo sala- s] rios as when times were in tho heyday of prosperity, while the poor tiller of the jsoil must, in order to pay those taxes-. .. give three licks where oue lick would do when they were first fixed. And we would like to know with what degree of ^ consistency can these apostles of "reform" denounce the cxtravaganco of the ' Cleveland Administration, when they o are doing at home exactly what they 1 condemn in Washington? You inoy \ cry "reform" to the people, and they 'J have heeded it in the past : but tho g scales of partisan passion are falling | from their eyes, and they now demand j to see a little of that promised reform put into actual practice. There is no use for tho farmer to economize and > work like a slave, aud stiu his wife and 1 children in the comforts of life, when 1 the office holders whom this vote has si I I seed in now or. arc irrirwlinr* him intn I > bankruptcy tbat thuy may live a life of | e iM' and aflluenco. When the man who j tiib out fields suflois and must practice ^ economy. those who rule over him should y he made to do likewise. While property values have increased $15,000,000 in South Carolina since our lleformcrs ! eautc into power, 1800, the average tax 1 ivy has not been reduced, hut remains ' practically the same. Therefore, so far ' ?!? ? ' K??:- ?i-' - in this prosperity, he is kept in the < same old ruts by his professed friends, i ? J'tofiHOHl I/'Hi/fir/hr | . ? i One Aim in Itusincss. Probably nothing would more effectually serve to elevate every holiest occupation, ami to ennoble every worker therein, than a realizing sense <?f the service tint- rendered to the community. Jl'^t- people pursue their various employments as a means of livelihood, <>r ol increasing their personal advantages and comforts, and these motives are pel feetly justi Ii:iI?I? . The mi-take that they make i- that they liave iim other. I hey ?lo not reflect that their work is also a means of jii-??n???tin;_' the welfare of the community ; or if they a<lniit the fact, it does not eome home to them in that imjiressive way which would lead tlicin to receive it a ? all ailn to he achieved. There are a few pursuit. where it i-. expected that this end will lie kepi in \ lew, and where the worker that ha within liirn 110 motive hut that of self interest i iiiit the shortsighted swindler or the ishoncst trader obtains, lie is pecdily discovered and shunned, and Doner or later is ostracized from the i-nsualist or the drunkard is ostraized from good society. True gain s not the transference of money from ne man's purse to another, without detjuatc return, but the increase of ocial welfare by ellieient and intcllient labor. "NY hen this is realized nd acted upon, commerce will attain sure and permanent success, in liich all engaged in it will be harers. Thus, while business life depends >r its true prosperity upon good litli, rectitude and honor, so in its urn it fosters and encourages these irtues. Mr. Leckv, in his '*11 isr?ry of European Morals," speaks of ndustrial veracity as that "accuracy f statement or fidelity to engagencnts which is commonly meant when so speak of a truthful man. fliis form of veracity is usually the 1 peeial virtue of an industrial nation, or, although industrial enterprise af' 1 * * _ _ _ A _ A! . X 1 _ X? - I <>r<is groat icmpiauou to uecepuon, mituul confidence, and, therefore, Irict truthfulness, are in these ocou)a lions so transcendently important hat they acquire in the mil ds of men i value that they had never before lossessed. If this he so, it gives to )usiness life an ethical character that s seldom accorded to it. Nor do the irtues it inculcates end with itself. IVhen we occupy a high standard of iction in one part of life, it raises bat of all the rest. One who has jeeli accustomed to he faithful and oyal in his home is not likely to he also in his friendships, and if luisi....c yumircs integritv in its followers, the seeds thus sown will blossom >ut in other spheres, and thus a better character, sls a whole, will result is the fruits of its influence. Is not such a result worth reflecting on and planning Ibr? l>o not let us lose sight of it in the effort for personal gain. Let us ponder on the good of trade, not only to the individual j trader, but also to the community, to the nation, to the world, .hist as the faithful physician feels himself hound by the honor of his possession to promote health and alleviate suffering, >o let the upright merchant j realize the iiol>l?* mission of his oeeu- [ j>;ition ami strive to do his share to ' ward I'liitlierino it. The duty of service comes to us all, ami nothing lends more directly to elevate our employment ami to dignify our relation to it than to hold this duty close to our hearts and prominent in our lives.?

Weill to Wave degraded Wis WigW calling, but tl-.at all employments demand so high a standard of notion is an idva floating in tlic air, perhaps, but by no means brought into general or practical use. In commercial lite, for example, the profit of the individual usually occupies so large a proportion of the attention that but little is left for the real benefits which commerce itself! bestows upon the people at large. That it furnishes a livelihood to multitudes and fortunes to some, are by 110 lueuus the greatest of its benefactions. Its contribution to the comfort and convenience of the public by bringing necessities and enjoyments w ithin the easy reach of all is incalculable. In this respect alone it is one of the chief factors of civilian i>._* ' uvu. i?ut it uocs inucii more than this. It draws men together by common interests. It binds the East to* the West and the North to the South. It even unites countries between which oceans roll, enabling various nations to mingle, and thus to understand and to respect each other. By mcouraging travel it spreads ideas md methods, conserving and establishing the best, and planting them where they have hitherto been unknown. Thus, through the influence commercial enterprise, the differences that mark different states and nations, instead of proving insupcrddc barriers to triendly intercourse, ire made to subserve mutual imirovement and to enable each one to nake continual advance. There is another and even more mportant benefit which commerce cstows upon society, that of incrcasng trust and confidence by proinotng honesty and cipiity. We hear ml read of so many instances of , heating and overreaching in trade hat we forget that these are the ex- i options and not the rule. Every | asc of dishonesty is pointed out and 1 mplnisizcd, while of the thousands ' f honorable merchants and trades- ' icn of all kinds nothing is said. We j re accustomed to think much of the } reat temptations to unfairness and nublc dealing that beset the young ( lan entering business, and it is well ; liat he should be put upon his guard i gainst them, hut it is also true that ] lercantilc life as a whole is a school i herein integrity and rectitude must j e among the chief lessons. For J ommerce is built upon trust, and ! hatcvcr shakes or undermines that J rust weakens the. whole structure. If f Dgucry and unfaithfulness were gen- < ral, the foundations of business . ould give way, and commercial en- ( u prise would no longer be possible. < t is but a poor and temporary gain < 1 1 11 War Mad* I'pon Medical and Hygfanic Itarhnrisiii in Ohio * C* Suauge uud wonderful as it may seem, tho cause of medical civilization is being upheld by Ohio: The State cannot get a Medical Practice Act passed by the State Legislature out there, but by some hook or crook it seems that a law has been put ou the statute books prohibiting the'adulteration ut' iood, beverages and medicine. We suppose the quack aristocracy that s uck their tongues into their cheeks and roared derision at the nodical profession never suspected that this law could bo applied to thoir infamous curcalls, l piit"Dt medicines," "bitters," and whiskeys, liut the Ohio Dairy and Food Commission, with headquarters at Cincinnati, discovered the applicability of the general terms of the law, and also ?-mirabifc. ifictu?discovered souie moral courage, and putting both to use they are marching to the courts of justice the grocers aud druggists who are the distributing agents for the concocters of fraudulent druos ami arti clcs of food. It is notcwoithy that these local grocers and druggists, iusteud of throwing the blame upou the manufacturers, seem incliued to espouse their cause and to Gght the commissioners. So far has corruption couie ! The law and its cxecutiou is plainly directed agaiust the manufacturer, and ouly ei.coudar.ly against the distributer, and because in no other way cm the State reach the rascals. Ouo of the commissioners is reported as saying some time ago: "We have brought about ninety cases, and not one of them has been decided against us. That is the records for the last six months, hut it is likely to be eclipsed by the results of the next half year. Our work is only fairly beguu." The arrests h ive been for selling as pure, or without proper uoticos, according to law, such articles as viuegar, oleomarg iriue, fruit-jollies, preserves, lemonade, milk, grape-juice, Via Mariani, 1'askola. The Commissioners' expert iu chcuiic analysis first buys these lrticles, auylizcs theui, theu prosecutes the clerk or proprietor of the store who told them to him. Massachusetts, we believe, has a similar law, but we have uot heard of any serious attempt to execute iu the case jf such things as the vile couipouuds loisted upon the guliblc public as the real prouiotois of health and curers of ill disea.es. It is a somewhat curious psycologic puzzle to understand how it is that in Massachusetts, where a earned (?) professor in Harvard College joins hands in upholding the quacks md helps them to succeed in killing a proposed medical practice act, and iu L)bi<?. where a similar delectable set rules the Legislature?iu those two States, there should bo such laws igainst the scoundrels, and that in jhio they should, as Carlyle would lay, succeed in getting themselves executed. The rest of us are bound down n abject slavery. The law of libel, or .he absurd fear of it, holds over the leads of publishers and editors a sword hat, it is said, would chop heads dean ill "tvith una truss and dispatch/' should r word bo whispered iu objection to the iog rule of the patent medicine syndicates aud the manufacturers of secret joslrunis. If a suggestion of the law of ibel were not sufiieiont to throw us iuto 'conniption nts" of fright, the threat if a cessation of advertisements ijuite enough to make us scuttle to our hol> s ike frightened chipmunks.

Mr,Ucnl X> ? .< ?- m Massacre of Christian* by (lie Turks' A recent despatch to the Standard from Varna llulirnria savs: "Bespito the Turk Kit Government's silence, facts Lave oozed out which leave no doubt that a massacre of Christians has occurred on as important a scile as the butchery at Batak, Bulgaria, which sent a thrill ot horror through the civilized world. "The troubles began with the Atmeuians' refusal to pay taxes on tho plea, probably well founded, that the frequent Kurdish raids had impoverished them. A few troops sent to collect the taxes wore beaten. "Meantime the Coventor of Bitlis, Asiatic Turkey, reported to the J'orte that a serious revolt had broken out and obtained permission to send all obtainable troops to the scene. Marshal Zcki l'asha, commander of the Fourth Army Corps, stationed at Krzettgan, was ordered to proceed thither and direct opera liens. Before this imposing array of regulars tho Armenif"" 1 "*w*v "Now comes the horrible part of the story. The Coventor of Bitlis resolved to make an example in order to prevent a repetition of the revolt, lie ordered the troops to lire up >n the defenseless people. The order was executed with alacrity. "The soldiers only rested from their labors when twenty live villages were de-troyed and thousands of'their inhabi tauts killed. "Mr llallward, lite British Consul at Van, proceeded to tho scene and later reported to the British Ambassador at Constantinople, who protested to the Borte.
