Campaign Money.

The long lease Of power allowed
The Republican party in the past was
due more to their outrageous system
of raising campaign funds than to
their actual numerical strength or the
popularity Of their peculiar political
views. Attic opening Of every cam
paign an assessment was mauciupOn
each officer holding government ap.
pointmcnL which furnished the party
leaders with hundreds of thousands
of dollars with which to run the Re
publican machine. The larger share
of this fund was employed in brlhing
voters either directly or indirectly,
in corrulting the election and in
working up the count in the diilcrcn,
sections Of the country TO suit their
purposes, No otliccr dared to refuse
the payment Of lis assessment on
pain of his drcapita>ion and the NOR
t!lication Of seeing another sep into
his shoes. This corrupt practice was
known TO :i,c government anil countc-
nanccd hy its officials from the rrcsi-
dent to thu lowest political mcnial,
without single effort ever having
been lmarlc TO stop it. Under snch q
cor npt system il was impossible to
secure justice where Republicans con.
trollcd tho elections. If an appeal
was taken from the managers TO the
courts, the Judges, equally corrupt,
~ou!d sustain the count if carried to
Congress, the same political rotten
ness wOuld not blush at confirming so
trIlling matter; and if the prusi-
dents ear WAS reached, 4 certain ap
proval would stamp that officer as
wanting in political purity rs the vii.
csl OF his patty.
70 protect the people from this
shameless system, the Democrats
have introduced and are now press.
ing TO its final passage through Con-
srcss, y hii! to prevent q repetition Of
these assessments. This measure is
meeting the strongest opposition from
the Republican side. They know that
It's success means the party's ruin,
that he only means they have Of sc.
curing the next Presidential election
IN their favor will hc lost, and that
such an event will be the death of
their party III this country. There is
no measure of equal Importance With
this TO the Democratic marty, and we
hope that every man will ho found
giving it his vote on lis final passage.

Causes for Alarm.

We do pot mean to be sensational
by tho heading Of this editorial.
There is,eertainly abundant cause of
alarm to$the country when VIC look in
the face Of existing facts. 1t is not
simply to the third term movement
or tho manifest design Of the stall
warts to secure at the next election
Whit Trey APE .r!oa yeI}}:tp call . strong
government, that we arc TO look for
causes of alarm. These arc doubtless
Sufficient bit gravcr reasons c&ist and
nearer home. That the Radicals are
organizing and that the colored vote
viii be solid for that party, there is
not doubt! 1t is equally true that
many Of our own Democratic citizens
arc lukewarIn and indifferent and ,'ex-
liibiting n carclcssncss as to the i'm
portancc Of the issues before them,
that is q cause for alarm TO every one
who loves aud rcrercs our system Of
a free government. If there was one
feature, more than another, upon
which the pcrmancncy Of this govern
mcnt depended, it was the indcpcnd-
cnce Of the judiciary, hut when a
State Judge can hc arraigncd and
made to answer for violation Of
State election laws, that indcpcnd
cncc is lost and the foundation of
State rights sappcd. The purity tf
thc Supreme Court was the boast
and pride OF The American people ;
but when her judges depart from an
Interpretation of tho Constitution, Oh
tanning for hundred years, for expo
dicncy, to meet the will Of Il party,
that purity is lost and the court is no
longer q safeguard Of the liberties OF
tho people. The provisions Of the
Constitution constitute The strength
Of the government but when those
provisions are annu!lcd by 4 simple
decree Of u packed court, that
strength is gone, and there is no Sc
curity left against the worse kind OF
ccntralisn. The President is the
sworn guardian Of The laws and the
liberty they are intended 10 protect !;
but when the President pcrjurcs him
self and administers the laws in The
interest of 4 party, that guardianship
is destroyed and there is no limit to
the ruin Of the government mere
party may make. These arc facts
that have transpircd recently under
the eyes Of our people, and arc causes
Of alarm that should not be unhcc.,ed.
For .hcsc high. Handed measures to
be continued, and for the officers Of
the government to he the instruments
OF their prosecution, the complete over
throw OF The republic is only matter
OF time, To avert it requires the ma
jorlly vote Of the people to he cast in
favor OF the principles of the Demo
cratic party at the next election.

Concealed Weapons.

The almost universal practice Of
this barbarous custom throughout the
State, has been the subject Of very
severe but just criticisms from The
courts and press Of The State. Why
the late Legislature, knowing its
prevalence, neglected to enact law
for its prevention, has not been salts
factorily explained, nnd~is, therefore,
unsparingly censurcI for not meeting
the demand. There can be no ncccs-
sity- for such Il custom in times of
profound peace. Dnring the cxis-
tcnce OF war, or in country of
prowling savagcs, or a coast frequent
ed by lawlcss handtti there may be
some reason for carrying weapons for
self defense, but in q land Inhabited
by a Christian people where law is the
recognized rule Of action and courts
hold men responsible for their acts,
there can be no excuse for carrying u
weapon and surely not for concealed
weapons. We have seen in the town
OF Orangcburg men, women and chill
drcn with pistols concealed about
their persons rs if they expected to
meet some desperate character
against whom it was necessary to de-
icnd themselves. This evil and gam
bling arc twin sisters and they are
both cowardly alike, seeking conceal
ment from the public eye and intend
cd Tor victims they would not dare to
meet in open combat. Public ncccs-
sity in the absence OF law, should
take the matter in hand and enforce
a respect for public opinion and sccu-
,rity for life, morals and property.
No community is safe against the VI
'ciousncss Of the gamblcr-no life is
safe against the thrust Of the coward
y assassin.

Good Hay.

Probably there Is no one thing pro-
duced on the farm, which is preserved
in worse condition than hay. 1t Is
neglected until too ripe, is then scorch-
ell by the sur or moulded by damp and
fermentation, Cutting and curing
need radical reform. 1t is not all care
less neglect or press Of other business.
In many cases tits stubt orn error il
Cur opinion as to the proper time 10
cut hay. Its so hard to eradicate hoary
error in this, as well as in other re-
spects. Reformation has TO give pre-
cept and example with patience. Agri-
cultural societies, wnen conducted oy
farmers, give premiums for the pur-
pose of stimulating improvements in
the management of the farm. If they
are managed by horse jockeys, racing
will be the man feature. If by rail-
road men and hotel keepers, the main
object will be to get crowd; so TO add
la z ' TO railroad fare and bel bills
Then We say, if farmers are managing
societies, we know of no one item on
which premiums could be more profit
ably given than Oh samples OF well
grown, clean, sweet hay, cut at the sea-
son W whenmost nutritious. Hay is becOm-
ing an item of the greatest importance
as we are changing from grain TO grass
and stock farming. In view of the fact
that managers of the societies always
need some hay, provision might be
made TO buy and use the hay presented
for premiums. The agricultural papers
have been calling attention to this sub
ject, bur il Will need the aid of agricnl-
tural societies and every other influ-
ence 10 correct the errors and practices
in cutting and curing this important
element in raising cattle, horses and
sheep. There have been some valu-
able experiments made AS to the
value of cutting hay early, and
faithful report of the res@lts would aid
materially IN the reform in contempla-
ton.

When Lever, the novelist, was resid-

rived in that city, and their notoriety
made them great attraction, owing to
the Earl of Cardigan being their
Colonel and the numerous dueis and
Quarrels that had occurred in the regi-

one OF their officers, Lever recounts,
was walking down Ssckville street, one
sunny afternoon, in his full dress, and
he was met by two Islshmen fresh from
the county. Quite staggered at the gilt

Journalism Twenty Centuries Aro-

The first Roman journal, published
over 1000 years ago, appeared only
once year. This paper intended to
be read by the public, was known by
the title Anndles Adzimi. The editor
of this paper was the "POntifex Maxi
mus" whose duty it was to chronicle
all the important events Of the year.
The news was written on white wood
en- tablets and attached to the residences
of citizens. 1t must have been a Curl
Gus sight TO see the old Romans crowd
ing around these tablets to get glance
at the latest news. But the thirst after
knowledge and the curiosity Of the
people grew rapidly and in such
measure that the government, the only
issuer Of journal, found itself Obliged
to Issue a daily. 1t is interesting 70
know that some of these journals, hav-
ing reached the age of 2,044 years, are
still in existence. The name of the
first daily journal was Acta Populi
Rondni DiuTnd. 1t appeared daily.
either as Album" /. e., the tablets
hung out in public, or the contents
were written with red chalk on the
walls of the houses. The contents OF
the journal comprised what would be
classed as daily news in our modern
pa oers. Doubtless it will Interest some
of our readers to peruse verbal trans
lation from the oldest journal extant,
issued los years before the birth OF
Christ :-"Consul Sicinius was the ac-
ting judge to-day. There was heavy
thunder storm, and the lightning split
an oak az the foot of the hills OF Veil.
In a hosiery at the foot OF the hill oil
Janus there was fight in which the
l4ndlord was badly wounded. Sicinius
punished some butchers on account OF
their selling meat which had not been
inspected. The money thus paid was
u,,d TO erect a chapel TO the Goddess
Laverea. The broker Ausidius fled
from town to-day, taking money with
him belonging to other people. Hr
was caught and had TO refund the
money. The brisand Demiphon, who
was captured by Officer Nerva, has been
crucified to-day. IL must be OF in n-erest
TO journalists TO know that Julius Ce iar,
the greatest of all Romans, paid special
attention to journalism. He saw the
necessity of instructing the people in
everything occurring in the State, and
we find this quoration in SuetOpIus -
Julius Ca ar, as soon as he had entered
his public office, caused not only 10 be
written, but also spread among the peo-
pie, proceedings OF the senate" This
was the first political piper, and as il
contained news about buildings, births,
deaths, excursions and anecdotes, II can
be Ekened very much 10 our modern
papers. 1t seems Incredible, but it can
DO proved, already in the olden times
there were stenographers who took
down the speeches niade in the Senate.
