The Decisions of the Supreme Court.

In the cases recently tried before
The Supreme Court Of the United
States every Issue of political ma
turc has been met by decisions adj
verse to the Democratic party and in
The face of the plainest and most di-
rect teachings of the Constitution.
II has not yet been realized how far
these unreasonable decisions will
reach, or to what extent they will Of
feet the principles upon which the
government is founded. The cleo
tions, both State and general, are
placed largely under control Of Fed
eral officers; q State judge may be
dragged from his scat in State
court by Federal Judge and arraign-
ed at the bar of a Federal court The
jurisdiction OF State courts may be so
abridged rs virtually to close their
doors; Congress may provide for the
punishment by Federal court of
of any State officer; State officers in
all the departments, Legislative, EN-
ccutivc and Judicial may be punished
by removal from Office and if the de-
cision be carried TO their legitimate
end every vcstige of State Rights is
uprootcd and destroyed, and n CEN
tralis,n established stronger than ever
Cameron, Conkling or Blaine d, cam
c1 Of. Such may be the end Of the
aclion Of this partisan court. 1t is
Capitalization pure and absolute. A
sure exposition Of the motives and
principles Of leading Republicans and
i: is well that it is so. The issue be-
tween the two parties is made and OF
such magnitude rs to absorb all
other issues. Upon it they will 90
before the people and, unless we are
mistaken in their character, the result
can be forcscen. The battle will be
fought not SO much between Rcpubli
canism and Democracy, rs between
Centralism and the Constitution. Up.
on the ore side will be arraycd Grant
and his followers, upon the other eve
ry true patriot and lover of a free
government.

to override the Constitution. 1t be-
comes, therefore, the duty Of The De.
mocracy in the event Of Gen. Grants
nomination, to put candidate in the
field Of irreproachablc character and
OF definitely pronounced views in fa.
vor Of the Constitution as it is and
to declare its fixed purpose to defend
our Republican system against every
attempt TO overthrow it, from what
ever quarter it may come. The sup
portcrs of Grant and hisercvolutiona-
ry scheme arc not more numerous or
influential than those of the govern
ment. Let the cause of the Constitu-
tion and the government be made the
cause of the Democracy and we will
win. Thousands of patriots at the
North will sacrifice party alliliatlon
md espOuse cause in which every
one is vitality concerned.

The philosopher of the Washington
Post ventures to remark that "when
the devil stood on The top of q high
mountain and offered to transfer to
the Saviour all the zeal estate in sight,
he had no better title TO the property
than Conkling has to the electoral
vote of New York, which his convcn-
tion promises to Grant" There is
this difference: "Conkling may de-
liver the goods and give reasonably
clean title, and the devil could not.
II tho children Of this generation are
wiser in their generation than the
children OF light, the Republican
syndicate can easily claim TO equal
Satan is generosity and surpass him
in conveyance.

Especially for the Candidates.

The last campaign in this County
(says the Abbevillc Metlium,l was q
very cheap race for the candidates.
The newspapers did not make more
than fiften dollars altogeth or out of all
the candidates who ran for Office.
They got neither money nor thanks
for their work. Although but few
cards announced in the regular way,
the clubs sent up nominations, out
side friends wrote communications adj
vocating the claims of individual can
didatcs and in this way the papers were
chiscled out of their pay.
The campaign this year, so far as
we are concerned, must DC conducted
on an entirely different plan, and all
nominations will be charged for. We
are tired Of doing so much charity
printing and no man who is at all
worthy Of the suffrages Of the people
should ask the papers to publish his
card for nothing. A candidates card
should be paid for just like any other
advertising. 1t is of no consequence
TO publishers whether the "many
friends of Mr.. Roe or Mr.. Doe ever
say that they arc the men for office or
not, and as well beg a merchant for a
sack of flour as the publisher for space
in his paper. All information about
the organization of Democratic clubs,
political mass meetings or barbecucs,
anything and everything bearing upon
The life and condition Of the party
will be published free, but all candi-
dates must pay for their cards.

Railroad Combinations.

There is considerable stir among
our leading cities and towns rs TO the
final outcome Of the railroad talk.
Charleston manifests deep interest in
the matter and her merchants are
using every effort 10 make their port
the final outlet Of the Western trade.
So far there is but one combination
certainly made, that Of the Cincinnati
Southern, which has succeeded in di-
vcrt!ng very large trade from the
usual Northern routes TO our South
Atlantic ports. The first train by
this road consisted Of twcnty-six cars
loaded with products from q single
house, Mcssrs. +. A. Laidley & Co.,
Pork packers Of Cincinnati, valued at
S43, 900; yielding saving in frcights
alone Of over 5000 10 Southern mcr
chants. Consumers all over the coun-
try will be benefited by the reduction
in meat and other Western products,
incident upon the establishment of
throua h routes from the West to our
Southeastern ports. All such enter
prises we hail as harbingers of bet
ter day for the South. Our mer.
chants have been playing second Gd-
dlers long enough and our people
have paid millions Of wealth into the
lap of the North because of the unnat-
ural channels into which their trade
has been forced. 1t is TO be hoped
We have seen the end Of it.

complainant is Democrat and
thinks more of his politics than he
docs Of his religion. For five years.
he says, he has stood his wifc's ty ran
ny relative to his newspapers, and he
declares that he will stand it no lon
ger. He prefers Democratic news
papers TO his wife.
The Richmond Dispatch recently
contained the following item "Wask-
ingion was born on the ] LII Of Feb
ruary, 1892. The 22d became his
nominal birthday afterwards" And
thcrcupon the Wilmington Stur sug-
gests that :his will he news TO most of
us. Certainly tho Star did not mean
that its readers were not aware Of the
eleven days difference between the old
and new sly les. In 1851, by act Of
parliament, it was enacted that the
following 2'l day Of September,
1852, should be the 14lh day Of Sep.
tcmbcr. This eliminated the eleven
days, and brought Washington's 5
birthday, which was the 1lth of Feb
ruary by the old style, then in I,opu-
lar use, and the 22l of February, nc
cording 10 the new style, up to the
22d Of February, where it has since
stcaGtustly remained.

Unanimity of Sentiment.

If there is one sentiment on which
the peonle Of South Carolina arc
agreed it is that the State shal, not
be given over to negro rule or 10
their unprinciplcd white leaders who
have no part or parcel in the welfare
Of the State or the advancement OF
her citizens. This unaninily on the
part Of the white people is not de-
signed to abridge n single right our
cclorcd citizens now enjoy, or TO
throw II single obstacle in tho way of
their material or religious advance
ment. These are as secure under
the rule of Democracy as statute laws
and q written constitution can make
them. But it means that the dcvcl-
opment of our resources shall not
be hindcrcd by wild fanatcism,
such rs characterized the political
history Of the. State from 'GS to &c,
that our civilization shall not by en-
dangered by second dominion of
bal barism that virtue, which is The
basis Of character, shall not again
surrender her high prcrogaLivcs TO
the most shameless vices and that the
history Of the State shall no longer be
a record of crimes too appalling in
their cnormity for civilized Com
monwca'th. These things were fore
ed upon US once, supported by the
bayonets Of strong government, and
peacefully endured by a suhjugatcd
people; but they were never right,
and cannot be justified by any com
bination OF even probable circum-
stances.
The causes which produced this
unanimity of sentiment on the part OF
our white citizens are scarcely dcbat-
able. No one denies their existence
or questions their legitimate results !;
nor would an intelligent colorcd man,
under the light Of his present sur
roundings, desire to see the same
condition Of things prevailing in the
state again. He feels that it is to
his interest that intelligence should
control the government, virtue rule
society and peace prevail throughout
the community.
No cause has exercised a more 30
tent influence in directing capital to
the State or in furnishing safe invest
mcnt for money than the mere fact Of
the government being permanently
in the hands Of those who have the
capacity to administer its laws in the
interest Of good order. There is a
feeling of security under such circum-
stances that cannot be experienced
under any other. SO long, therefore,
rs the present rule Of intelligence AMI
virtue continue prosperity will attend
the labor of our citizens, both white
and colored.

How Watches are Made.

TT will lie apparent to any one who will
Il examine Il SOLID GOLD WATCH, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing. Il large proper
ton of the precious metal used. is need
ed only to stiilcn and l.o!d the engraved
portions in place. and supply the ncces-
sary solidity and strength. The surplus
gold is actually needless so far us UTfLI-
TY and beauty are concerned. In j 4 NJ Els
BOSS PATEN GOLD WATCH CASES
this waste of precious metal Is overcome.
and the SAME SOLlDITY AND STRENGTH
produced ut from Onc-thiru to One-half
Of the usual cost of solid eases. The pro-
cess is of the most simple nature, rs fol-
lows: n plate of nicklc composition met
al, specially adapted to the purpose, has
two plates Of SOLID GOLD SUldcrcd one
OH each side. The three are then passed
between polished steel rollers, and the
result is Il strip Of heavy plated compost
ton, from which the cases. backs, cen
tres, beZelS, &C.. are cut anu shaped by
suitable dies and formers. The gold in
these cases IS sufficiently thick to admit
of all kinds Of chasing. engraving and
enameiling; the engraved cases have
been carried until worn perfectly
smooth by time and use without rcmov-
ing the gold.
THIS Is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED By SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.

The Monroe Doctrine.

The visit of NJ. DeLcsseps to
Washington in the interest OF his 18TH
mus Canal scheme, furnishes the
United States convenient occasion
TO reasscrt the determined policy Of
this government in favor Of the Nom
interference of European Powers
with the affairs, of the American Con-
tincnt. This occasion was improved
by select committee Of Congress on
Saturday last by reporting for adop-
ton set Of resolutions embodying
the Monroe Doctrine in full. II SAYS ::
THAT The establishment OF any form
OF pro,ectorate Ivy any one of the
powers of Europe over any of the in
dependent States Of this continent,
or The introduction from any quarter
OF a scheme or policy which would
carry with it the right to any Euro
pean power TO interfere with their
concerns, or TO control in any other
manner their destiny, or transfer TO
any such power by conquest, ccssion
or acquisition in any other way any
OF those States, or any portion of
them, is Il measure to which this gov
ernment has in the declaration of
President Monroe, in his message of
December 2, 1928, known rs the
Monroe Doctrine, avowed its opposi-
ton, and should such attempt be
made it will be regarded as threat
dangerous to our peace, prosperity
and safety" 1t further asserts the
right to possess, direct, control and
govern any canal or railroad across
the Isthmus TO connect the Caribbean
Sen with the Pacific Ocean, and if
such communication be built, this
right will be asserted and maintained

il it becomes necessary. Such de-
claration rises in Importance when
the magnitude Of NJ. DeLesseps's
scheme is considered as affecting the
future of the Amrrican continent and
especially the future Of this govern,
mcnt. With such channel Of com
munication open to the world and the
conflicting interest ccntered about il,
well defined policy becomes imper-
ative.

Sweet lnnocencY.

Seven Republican members of the
Louisiana Legislature were recently
brought before the bar of that body
to purge themselves Of contempt. 1,
appears that the Congressional Re
cord furnished the evidence that these
gentlemen in document TO the Vice
President, signed by them, arraigncd
the Democratic General Assembly as
having been elected by fraud. The
only excuses they could give were
that their names were signed withou:
being cognizant Of the contents of
the document in question and that
they acted under misapprchcnsion
Of the matter. This calls TO mind the
similar dramatic episode enacted in
the Wallace house when the Macley
gang was disbandcd in 1876, of
which some Of our Orangeburg Radi-
cal WORTHLESS have very distinct re-
collection even 10 this day.

ka Irish Romance.
From the London World,

On these days, when everything IL
driven by steam and stopped by air
breaks, and even the ticking of oar
hearts is regulated by agolden key.
like most excellent clockwork, there is
very little room for "a romance in real
liIc." In certain country in Ireland
however. not quite a hundred miles
from Meath, there dwells family Of
nine beautiful mai,lens, who are wont
to amuse themselves by assuming the
apron and mob-cap Of "neat handed
Phillis," and making themselves all
sorts Of pastry in the garden. Not
very long ago the cry and ,orn Of the
'untsman were heard without, and one
OF the aforesaid nine with her sleeves
tucked up and her bare arms beaoured
rushed to the yardcn-gate, which open
ing on the lane, shut behind her inst
as a smart young prince, att hchedto
an imperial suite, attired in buckskin
and pink, came trotting up.
(which way is the fox? ! did
not know such pretty wild flowers,
grew III the hedges about here BEFORE"
said young NARROW "And what may
your name be-" She bit her lip and
sluslled and tai,ly bolted;e but when
the others came up he was little sur
prise and abasbed ON learning that our
heroine was no other than a grand
daughter to the most noble Marquis
who first informed our most gracious
Majesty of her unlc's death.

a New Dog Story.

Several weeks ago while Weaver
Purk's childrenwere playing on the
railroad. accompanied by young
bird.dog. the switch engine came
along and gave the signal "cloar the
track" The children hustled off,
but little doggier taraetl around and
faced the engine in defiance. The
engine, being under full Roadway,
crushed him down, the wheels passing
over the neck, .severing the heat COM
pletely from the body. The head roll
ed several feet down the embankment.
As soon as the car passed the head :
lees body Of the dog leaped to its feet
and followed the head down to where
IL had rolled, staggered around and
fell down by the side of it. The
above can be vouched for by reliable
parties.
