CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-

Althoughit will be some time before nomi-
nations for Congress will be in order, matters
have been SO precipitated by certain friends
of the different supposed candidates, that it
may be time for this paper to place itself
properly on the record. Our present mem
Der of Congress having been elected three
times to the position he now fills, it seems to
30 the general impression in this section
that the rotation>in office principle should
prevail, aud that the Hon. B: +. Martin, of
West Allegheny, should give place to some
one of the several able gentlemen of East
Allegheny. who are generally spoken of as
possessing the requisite qualifications for 8
seat in Congress. No special reflection upon
Mr.. Martin is intended, when We say
that We have in this section of the State
several gentlemen who could fill the position
quite as ably as be. Indeed, East Allegheny
has sons who, for talents and character, are
equal to any men anywhere; and as they are
tower of strength In times of difficulty and
danger, it is very proper that they should
occasionally receive some of the rewards of
victory. We, therefore, serve notice on all
concerned, that when the time comes, We
shall advocate an East Allegheny man, and
that man will be DANIEL B. LUCAS, of JEFF
ferson county,, than whom no one man in the
State has contributed more to West Virginia

The Pickens Sentinel says: "Corn is
scarcer in this section at this time than
we have known it for several years, and
sells readily at rs cents cash, or one dol
lar on time. The wheat crop in this
section is promising, and if no disaster
-befalls it breadstufs may decline some
what when the crop is harvested. The
area sown is as large as usual. Good
seasons Of rain have fallen in this Sec
ton, and cotton, corn, and all kinds OF
vegetation have been greatly benefited
thereby" This is the situation in many
other Counties, alsoe except that the
price of corn is considerably higher, and
from the large amount of cotton planted
and the small amount of corn, we fear
that it will continue so for long time
to come. Our people are wonderful in
this respect. They raise large quantities
of cotton, a very large per cent. of which
goes TO Western farmers, while the rail-
roads also receive share for freights.
1t has become q habit, however, and it is
difficult to convince people that it is not
best to raise all cotton.

When Congress was about to pass the
bill remonetizing silver, the advocates
of the gold standard asserted that gold
would go up, and great distress follow
the enactment of the law. Their croak:
ings, however, were not powerful enough
to hold back the needed reform. The
bill was passed-yes, even over veto,
and became law. Instead of going up
and causing a panic, gold Immediately
came down to par, and the people felt
the only financial relief that has been
extended them for ten years by the gene.
raj government. These same men and
papers who tried by adverse predictions
to prevent the reconciliation of silver,
are the very ones who are now trying to
prevent its free coinage. The represen-
tatives of the people, however, will no
doubt pass the bill, and if it becomes a
law the predictions of the gold standard
men are likely to be as completely falsi-
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1879-06-05

President Hayes keeps his vertebre at
properly regulated tension, and as fast
as Congress sends him appropriation bills
he politely returns them without his
signature with his objections thereto"
His latest exploit in this direction is the
veto of the civil service appropriation
bill, on the ground that he does not like
riders on appropriation bills in general,
and especially because he does not like
the riders on this bill in particular. The
clause taking away from supervisors the
right to make arrests occupies large
share of his attention, which he devotes
to insisting that the law is constitutional,
when that fact is not under his consider
alton, except .in his own imagination /;
and after he has, to his own satisfaction,
proven the constitution of the existing
law, he proceeds to argue its expediency
on the ground that it tends to preserve
law, order, peace, security of the ballot
and fair elections in about the same man
ner that the Republican Senators and
Representatives spoke in Congress.
Taken all together, the veto is skilfully
drawn, and presents the Presidents side
in as plausible light as possible. Like
the other vetoes it is condemned by the
Democrats and approved by the Repub-
licans. 1t is only one step more in the
direction of thoroughly solidifying both
political parties.

TIE QUISINE MoNoroLY!-Cannot
the Southern Congressman turn their
strength to good account by insisting on
the repeal of the import duty OH quiniue? {?
About 100000 ounces Of quinine are
consumed annually in the United States !;
nearly all OF it is manufactured in Phila-
delphia; the import duty is 60 cents an
ounce, which amount is added 10 the
quinine manufactured in this country.
In this way over 100000 go Into the
pockets of two firms in Philadelphia,
commonly supposed to be worth SIC, 0,O00,-
900 each. They get this bonus, in addi-
tion to their regular profits on the manu-
facture of the quinine.
Will the Southern members stand it?
They know the sweet uses of the bitter
drug. The ex-Brigadiers know the ex-
act taste and peculiar virtues of quinine
and whiskey. They are aware that life
without quininc is hardly worth having.
Free trade in quinine, therefore, will be
a popular cry, and, if there is Revolution
in demanding it, the Philadelphia job
bers and the Protectionists must make
the best of it.-Charic3ton NciCs and Cou-

TERRIFIC TORNADO IN KANsAs.-An
Atchison, Kansas, dispatch of May 81,
says that terrible rain and wind storm
visited Frankfort, Marshall County, Kan
sas, lasting over two hours. T. B. Tay.
lor's warehouse was torn to pieces, and
several small houses, stores and stables
more or less damaged. The houses of
Messrs. Fox, Cater and Vaughn. three
miles from town, were blown down, and
the inmates considerably injured. Fox's
house and its contents were blown into
the river. A messenger just in from
Irving says that the storm at that point
blew down fifteen houses, killed eight
persons and wounded about twenty-five,
aud that several are missing. The resi-
dences of James S. Warden, Mr.. Arm.
strong, ]. : Wells, Mr.. Thomson and
twelve others were totally demolished.
The Presbyterian Church, public school
building and Irving elevator were com
pletely destroyed. The east span of the
railroad bridge crossing Blue River was
blown down. A committee with funds,
provisions and lunher WAS left at Gibson,
on the Central Branch Railroad, this
afternoon, to supply the wants of the
sufferers, and another committee is solic-
iting additional aid.

Individuals of small statue and strong
mind frequently terrify and control much
larger persons who possess weaker wills.
It also appears to be true in politics
The Republican minority in Congress, by
its determined position, has so wrought
upon the timidity of the Democratic
majority that our party may now be said
to be in full retreat. It is to be hoped,
however, that something will, as Mr.
Micawber would express it, "turn up" to
the advantage of the Democratic major
ity,. which will enable us to stumble into
electing another President. Possibly, as
we have both the Senate and the House
of Representatives now we might be
able to inaugurate President if elected,
provided the Republicans do not cry out
that the South will be responsible if q
Democrat is inaugurated, in which event
we have no doubt. some Southern states
men, so;called, would think we had bet
ter let the Republicans.have their way
"this time," and reserve the right to
"appeal to the people,"
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1879-06-05

The action of the Democratic party,
as announced in the programme else
where, is likely to prove great blenaeh
for it virtually receSss Rola The position
assumed by the party, and at the same
time offers the President another oppor-
tunity of putting in veto, which he will
no doubt avail himself of, to the utter
confusion of the Democracy. If we
canno: pass the appropriation bills with
the riders on as a permanent law, we
cannot pass them with what is tanta-
mount to them for one year. A veto
from the President on this ground would
confuse US more than all the others COM
bined. If Congress would pass both
appropriation bills with the riders on
them, and adjourn without waiting for
the Presidents signature, the response
bility of Withholding supplies from the
government would be shifted from the
shoulders of the Democratic party to
those of the Republican President, where
it really ought to rest now. 1t is not
the Congress, which offers the supplies
under wholesome restrictions, that is
blocking the government, but it is the
Republican President who asserts his
will as stronger than the wishes of the
representatives of the people. Instead
of defending our action, we ought to be
raising q tempest of popular indignation
against the undue use of power on the
part of Mr.. Hayes.
