Seward 8] icn a senator from New York, e] id: "Actaeon has been torn by oi s own dogs." Something like P at is likely to happen to the Hon. T sn Tillman down in South Caro- S la. The liquor question is threat- tl ling to disturb the security of the tl tehfork, and he may have to fight ci r his seat in the senate when the 1> me comes to choose his successor. r< Licker" in politics is nearly as uch of a disturbing element as licker" in a man's stomach. It ive Ohio to the Democrats in 1883. made Wisconsin democratic in >; KM). It elected Horace Boise gov- a nor of Iowa, the first democrat to a] cure that honor in more than a ii lird of a century. It was liquor tl i politics that made it possible to p ifeat James G. Blaine for presi- r, jnt in 1884, for if St. John had tl ;>t been a candidate there is noth- n ig more certain than that Blaine h ould have carried New York. tl Tillman is the man who mixed ^uor and politics in South Caro- R na. He turned the State into a im-sellcr and gave it a monopoly f the traffic.

As a gen- 1 al proposition prohibition makes * tw-breakcrs, perjurers, and not a ^ tw drunkards. It also is the means * [ selling more mean "licker" than ^ II other agencies. The average n lan in Kansas who will have whis- * ey gets it when somebody has vio-' " ited the law. It is risky 'to break c le law, and, as a Oonscquencc, the quor supplied is tho cheapest and ic meanest to be had, for it is a. iw of trade that tho profit is com- ? lensurate with the risk. South Carolina went into the ? 'hiskey business. Tho personal ! t iberty of the citizen was eradicated o far as the right to buy and sell I hiskey was concerned. He could ot fetch whiskey into the State for is own use. He had to buy of the tate, and, I believe, he could not uy more than half a pint at a time, i t was the most outrageous exam- j le of paternalism a free people ever i adurcd. The Connecticut blue | tws were enacted to make men digious, and were harmless com- I ared with a law to make men sober. I Tillman put up his State barroom nd called it* a dispensary. I am ' ot certain but one had to get a octor's prescription before he could 3t even half a pint. There were j miplaints as to the quality of the \ uff, and that is not strange. The late made money, for liquor sell- 1 ig is a profitable business. It re- j uccd taxation and that made the J l. _ A A 1 11 ' ' r&uriiujr Buiiivwiiut toieraoie. 5 But this is the age of graft, and raft crept into tli<4 rum trade of outh Carolina just as it had in the lsurance business of New York and ic postoflice department of the nited States. And now South arolina is thinking of regaining i er lost liberties and with a pretty iod chance of succeeding, if you will take the cranks in the nited States congress who want ic government to do things the jvcrnment has no constitutional athority to do, such as making lilroad rates, regulating insurance mipanies, and subsidizing stcamlip lines, and reenforce .them with ic cranks out of congress who ould regulate the animal appetite I man by statute, and turn the tyout loose with unrestricted aulority to govern this country, you ould soon have a more intolerable espotism in the United States than urhey ever labored under. ) For one I would be sorry to see ' en Tillman retired to private life, tc is an honest man, and the most j ldcpcndent character now in pub- I c life. He has learned a great 1 eal since he fetched his pitchfork * j lto the Senate chamber. He has j rnnd out that other men arc as I onest as he. He survived that ) lock. He did even better than [ aat, he rejoiced over it. He is lore of a statesman than all his . illow hot-gospelers together, and j n f\n roe ?* 11 V ? iu Iiiui(jn UUIIU UI UlL'Ill I ould think of undertaking. Ruf- j anly as was his conduct?and there j i much room for further improve- i lent in that respect-Tillman has ained the respect of all his fellows 1 the senate, and the cordial friend- I lip of many of them. ? His speech on the death of his illcaguc, whose name I do not now . call, was a remarkable production, ad the only intelligent elucidation, f the political situation in South i arolina that has come under my otice. No man has a proper eonjption of the "New South" until e he has read this speech and medated upon it. ^ As for myself?I suppose it is disraccful for me to say so?but I pre- j ir the Old South. There was somcling about it that is lacking in this nnmcrcial age, something that no ation can do without and retain le respect of anybody whose reject is worth having. Unless this J poch shall manage to retain some f that spirit of the Old South ex- j ressed in an address of ofie of Ben illman's predecessors in the United tatos Senate the last session of the lirty-sixth congross, tho chapter rnt tells our story of the first doide of the twentieth century will e an ugly one in the history of our public.
