Republican carcass in the Treasury De
partment is still hoUing its nose and
taking test i tu on y.

Who was it said that this Adminis

the-.country a supreme chance for dis
tinction V So far, the young fellows are
told to be patient, to cool their heels in
.?Jjhe rear, while the ancient leaders snap
up the good thimrs. and, when secured,
'few w.?l die and none resign."
The plea urged by begging, barnacle
Republicans is that if they are turned
out of office they do not know how they
can get their living'. It Is suggested
that they still might be of service to the
Postal Department by resolving them
selves into mucilage. Certainly they
develop sticking qualities heretofore
unheard of.
) The young man's Administration has
chosen a gentleman of sixty years to
fill Mr. Loring's place as Commissioner
of Agriculture. The Augusta Chron
icle says the President seems to be
selecting men who were left out of office
when Buchanan retired. Two genera

bank debts of Democracy.

President Clevelax? pays for his
own newspapers. In other words he
has ordered a discontinuance of the
newspapers that have been dumped
into the Executive office at Washing
ton City by wholesale and paid for out
of the public treasury by his predeces
sors of late years. He doesn't intend
to read papers at the expense of the
people of the United States.
. The new Minister to England is so
^^Sfaunch. a Democrat that he voted for
'Diaries O'Conor for President, instead
of Greeley. lie is an intimate friend of
Senator Bayard, Judge Field and
-Senator Edmunds. We are glad to see
a New England Democrat like Mr.
Philps rewarded. Vermont may take a
new departure and cease to be the "Re
? publican star that never sets."
The Washington correspondent of
*;the Cincinnati Commercial says : "So
.'; the little piddling reforms go on at the
spigot, but just keep your eye on that
bung hole in the fateful lour years to
" come," It is quite a concession for a jaun
diced Republican sheet to admit that re
forms are going on at the spigot. The
easiest way to steal the contents of the
barrel is to permit leakages at that
point while attention is directed to the
?bung-hole. There is always more Uller

?' - LET us have a rest on Mr. Cleveland
and his mode of living. What is it if
? he does eat breakfast at S o'clock and
commence work at nine in the morning.
Ts he any better to dp it thuu millions
of other honest men who don't get one
thousandth part hs much pay for their
labor. If the President prefers to pull
off his coat when he writes and fumbles
over, his papers, he hits a perfect right
to do so. We are assured he feels more
comfortable judging from our own ex
perience. From the way iu which Kome
Correspondents speak about the Presi
dent's rnqde and stylo of living, thr-y
would make you believe that it would
be' undignified and a disgrace to his
position for any one to see him with bis
coat off. If the President wishes to
work in his shirt sleeves or stick his j
pants iu his boots legs, he has a perfect J
right to do so. This is a free country ! '

wherever they are known to have been

A Mountain Oat ola. Mole i:ill.
We clip the following from the Xew
bery Observer:
"The Oramreburg Tones and 1)k.mo
CKATsays Postm.vster Boone resigned
to prevent being 'kicked out.' T. ^re
is no evidence :to that effect. Mr.
i Boono, whaought to know, says he has
private business of his own that will
pftv hull Hotter than the postoflice. It
is by no means certain, or even .proba
ble, that he would have been 'kicked
out.' By tht way, 'kicked out' is a
very ugly expression. 'Removed'
sounds much bettor."
The fact that we.said Mr. Boone re
signed to prevent being kicked out of
tucXewberry posto?ice has stirred the
righteous indignation of a number of our
dewberry friends, all of whom proclaim
Mr. Boone to be a good man. That may
be. But we think even our Newberry
friends will admit that he has been
keeping most disreputable company in
acting wtth the Republican party of
South Carolina. W# do not know Mr.
Boone .personally and our opinion of
him was formed altogether from this
fact. We are extremely oblidged to the
Observer for its kind suggestion in ref
erence to substituting the word "re
moved" tor "lacked." "Kicked," as our
cotemporary says, is a very ugly ex
pression, but then it is a very ex
pressive, expression, and in our opinion
just the word to be applied to the
Radical leeches that have beeD holding
the Federal positions in South Carolina
for tue past twenty years, Mr. Boone
included.
A Good Thln(r.
The Boston Font thinks that if for
no o'ther reason the change of adminis
tration is a good thing for the country
because it has shown what high moral
ground the Republican*party Is capable
of taking?when it is out of power.
For instance, our esteemed contempo
rary, the Springfield Union, says: "The
country is of vastly more consequence
than Democratic ooice seekers, and if
the President can only succeed in con
vincing the cheap fellows that want
ollies that he cannot be bored or bull
dozed into making unworthy appoint
ments, he wil do a good thing. If that
is what he is -aiming at, he can sount
on cordial sympathy and support from
Republicans." But what bothers qs is
the lively recollection that when Re.
publican Presidents occupied the White
House they counted on and received
cordial sympathy and support from lie"
publicans when the "cheap fellows"
asked for and obtained just about what
they wanted. "We are glad that the Re
publican party has had its conscience
quickened. Even the vampires in
South Carolina who hold the Federal
positions in this State have found all
of a sudden that they are earnest cham
pions of civil service referm, and pre
tend to think that its benefits should be
extended to them. Well, we think so
too, but the first thing to be done un
der it is to kick them out of the
positions they hold, and put better men
in their places. This would be genuine
civil service reform.
Hopeful Sljpi of the Times.
It seems that the other women have
now come to the front in opposing wo
man suffrage. The "formost women" of
Boston are sending petitions to the
Massachusetts Legislature declaring
that "the common good will be lessen
ed by the voting of women on political
questions." One address on the subject,
written by Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney, the
well known authoress, contends that
W0213E i- not fitted for the rough work
of politics, and that her work is to be
done , "not by struggles for new and
different place, but by the better, more
loving, more intelligent, deep-seeing
and deep-feeling filling of her own
place, that none will dispute and none"
can tske from her." A petition signed
by a large number of the best known
ladies of New York city was presented
to the New York Assembly on Friday
last A Sun dispatch says: "The
ladies evidently took the petition from
house to house, for the names of all the
women in certain households follow one
another. They told Senator Otis that
it seemed to them that every year , the
woman suffragists get more and more
attention,simply because they are persis
tent, while the great mass of women
have refrained from making them
selves heard, until now it looked as if
it was necessary for the ladies who
don't believe in intrusting their sex!
with the ballot to announce the fact
and enlist themselves in an earnst op-!
position to the woman suffragists."
Crime on the Increase
The Rock Hill Herald says that crime
is on the increase in this State, and un
less the laws are enforced more rigidly
the man-slayer will soon be in undis
puted possession. Human life is al
ready apparently very cheap and worth
less and unless the juries discharge their
duties with more faithfulness this de
plorable condition of affairs is likely to
grow worse, if possible. Three mur
ders in pne day in South Carolina is al
arming. In Lancaster county one day
last week, Sam Crawfored, colored, fell
out with a colored companion named
Everett Hood, an:l, striking him in the
head with a handspike, killed him in
stantly. The murderer was jailed. In
Abbeville county on the same day
Isaiah Wright and Press Murchison,
both colored, engaged in a shooting
scrape about Wright's wife, which re
sultctl in the death of Murchison.
Wright is at large. On the same day a
difficulty arose in a house, of ill fame in
Newberry between .1. IL Huff and
James Saddler, both wiiite. Uuff was
struck in the head with an axe by Sud
ler, fracturing Ruff's skull and he will
surely die. Sadler is in the custody of
the Sheriff. This is a fearful record of j
! one day's bloody work. How long wilj I

j Tlie.se two great powers are wrang
| ling, and at one time war seemed prob
j al le between them, but, we are glad to
j say, things have assumed a more peacc
j ful aspect and the probability of a war
I between them is diminishing. Should
j they coine to blows, however, it would
be uo small affair, as Englaud can put
1,000,000 men in the field in Asia in a
very short time, and Russia's strength
on a war footing is about 2,UiX>,Oo0 men.
The Russian fleet has 870 vessels, of
which 31 are ironclads, but there are no I
heavy guns, and the thickest armor is i
14 inches. Engl ind has the inest navy I
afloat, and one of her best ironclads
could whip the whole Russian fleet in a
short time, and it would then be a
quick and easy task for her to cork up
the outlet to the Black and Baltic Seas,
and thus cut Russia off from the mar
kets of the world. We are betting on
England if war is declared.
Rev. Dr. Funnan, a professor in Fur
man University, and a distinguished
minister of the Baptist Church, comes
out unequivocally and strongly against
free t uition in the State college. It seems
to us that his argument is conclusive
upon the two main points at issue: 1st,
Free tuition is not required by the Cons
titution; 2nd, Free tuition in the State i
College is an injury and an injustice to
kindred institutions in the State.

I have sintered from rheumatism for
seven or eight years. For one year I
w*as compelled to use crutches;. I tried
various remedies, especially every sort
of liniment, but none of them did me
any good. I saw in the newspapers an
?advertisement of Swift's Specific for
rheumatism, and resolved to try it. I
have taken four bottles. After I had
taken it awhile I was enabled to throw
away my?$rntehes. I commenced using
Swlft'sSpecific last November, and haVe
had no further use for crutches, and
only suffer a little at times now. and
would not have suffered at all if I had
continued to take the medicine. My
experience with liniments is that they
are of but little benefit, and that only
temporary. The disease is in the blood
and must be eradicated, and that is the.
reason I took S. S. S. It is the best

Belief r?r the Disabled Soldler?.
A wounded ex-Confederate soldier,
who does not like the idea that brave
men who are suffering from wounds re
ceived while fighting for the Lost
Cause, should depend on charity for
their support, has written to the News
and Courier offering pome suggestions
for their relief. He says that very few
wounded old soldiers ever get any relief
from the bazaars that, are held for their
benefit, the reason being that it is not
known where the veterans are. lie
suggests that the leading nswspaper in
each State get up a complete directory
of the wounded soldiers, given their
company and the battle. where the
wound was received, with its nature.
He insists that the various towns and
counties should lill their ollices. wher
ever possible, with the wounded
soldiers. He suggests that the Legisla
ture pass*a bill to exempt the disabled
solders from payment of the poll tax,
and also a bill to give annually "to each
and every one of the disabled Confeder
ate soldiers one or two hundred dol
lars as.bis necessities may require." In
conclusion he suggests that the mer
chants and factors should employ these
disabled veterans as watchmen.
His Wife Dierf and Ito did not Care to Live,
A brief notice last week told the sad
story of Mr. Allen's suicide. His mind
had been in au unsettled condition for
the hist eighteen months, and a watch,
more or less close, had been kept over
his movements for some months past,
for, at times, he manifested a suicidal
tendency. At one time he took poison
and was only saved by the prompt ad
ministering' of emetics. After Mrs.
Allen's death, last December, the watch
fid care was "necessarily somewhat re;
laxed; but he was still looked after. On
Monday, the 10th, he was left alone in
the house for a few moments, and find
ing a small bird gun belonging to his
grandson, Leighton Allen, he hastily
loaded it. and walked down the front
steps. Just then Leighton saw him
from the back yard and hastened to
wards him, but the old man kneeling
down "with the lizec-ch pi the.gun on
