Candidates.

8 2
We arc often struck with the ex
pressions from the press and else
where that suoh and such men,are
candidates for this or that Office, and
it is taken as matter of course that
they are the only me-, to be thou sht
Of in this connection. In, other words
man must 10 some way make known
his desire for a particular office in
order to be taken up. This, to our
mind, is altogether in opposition to
the principle that al good men should
encourage, that ;'the office shouii
seek the man and not the man the
office"
( The good people seem to sit down
and wait, unit Fsome political aspirant
secretly and adroilly gets his name up
for the Office, and then, either through
Ignorance or Indifference, they ac-.
quiesce in what they imagine .he
popular cry. "
L is in this wny that almost every
Office is filed.
It. is often argued that it is useless
10 nominate a. man because he has
never signified iu any way that he
wants or would accept the Office. We
havs rn-y>,.:----rIT,---t-s- q 5'r~>>
ments. 1t 2 man does not want an
Office that is rendered 10 him he can
easily decline. In fact u sen,tivs man
who is always the most trustworthy
is not ap: to thrust himself forward
as candidate Hekeeps in the back
grcuna. and leaves the people to
make their own selection. The
great trouble with our country is that
the ofice-seekers obtain the offices, If
a man seeks an Office, he does SO for y
selfish end, and not for the public
good. Hence the political corruption
which degrades our land, and we are
sorry to say it is encouraged by the
ignorance or Indifference OF good peo.
pie.
If conventions would go to work
and select men for Office, rot on
account Of heir prominence or candi-
oacy, but altogether OH account Of
their fitness, mucL desired reform
would be inaugara,ed in our Land.
as a gen raj thing candidates
should be avoided.

Rail Road Fares.

Why do our Railroads cIargs
adlch high fare92 There must be a
reason, forait. 5ut we have not been
able to- find q satisfactory one our
selves. Orangeburg IS only 79miles
from Charleston and yet it costs 81 to
go there and return, How can a
merchant With small capital pay this
amount every time he wants to visit
this city He lwilI stay ut home and
order goods from drummers. But
whatever aie fehson 1--WE do ik,inw one
ornwol facts.m hns is1Itin1.'ta q
In the affrst place, owkile the fares
are 20 high, very few people travel
and if they we're re,laca there wcu Id
lie much more travelling, and the
Railroad would make great deal
more money, for it hardly COSTS more
to carry 100 passengers han six;
and the trains are obliged to run
every day it there is only one pas
senger to carry.
A railroad official on one of the
roads leading into Charleston says
that on all average not more than six
person travel Or the regular daily
passenger trains of that road. We
have often seen trains with less thau'
that number. a l 'thi=
In the seeond place, every bod y
knows that as soon as the fares are
reduced Tor excursions, hundreds
crowd the trains, and the railroads
and the city of Charleston reap q
harvest which they would never do
O herwise.
