Business and Politics.

1t Is as true of States and Nations as
it is of individuals, that the evil which
they do lives after them. The nulliiica-
ton that commenced in South Carolina
in Andrew Jackson's day, under the
lead and the teaching of John c. Cal
houn, eliminated in secession, rebellion
and civil war long after jackson and Cal
houn were in their graves. The hostil-
ity which the slaveholding aristocrats of
the South always manifested to the prin-
ciple of universal human freedom has
not yet disappeared, and in South Caro-
lima especially, although slavery has
been abolished and the political equality
of the colored man before the law has
been asserted with all the emphasis
which it was possible for the Federal
Government to give it, the virus of
slavery is still extant. and the evil that
it did in two hundred years of existence
still survives.
Public attention has been called a
thousand times TO the fraudulent meth
ods which the South Carolina Democrats
have adopted to suppress the colored
voter and cheat him out of his ballot, TO
tho end that the white minority might
rule the State. Bulldozing and ballot
box stulfing work well when there is a
Democratic majority III Congress, but
not so well when the Republicans
are in power. But the old Bourbons
are equal to any emergency. AT the
last session of the South Carolina Legis-
lature they apportioned the State IN the
most shameful manner, in utter diSre-
gard to county lines in some instances.
in order to group the black voters to-
gcther, and in other cases to throw a
portion of them into districts where they
would be utterly overwhelmed by the
whites. Next, they passed a Registra-
ton act which virtually DISTINGUISHES
the eolored population. OF if it does not

Brother Gardner on Champions.

.'Am Construction White in de hall
dis evening" softly inquired the Presi-
dent, as the hush came
"Yes, sah," answered a voice from
the back end of the room, and Brother
White made his way to the platform
with look of puzzled wonder on his
face.
Construction White" continued the
President, after drawing long breath.
81 understan' dat you have become q
champion"
I'LL dunno, sah," stammered the
brother.
''I understan' dat you claim to be
able to lift mo- wild your teef dan any
odder man in America. One of de local
papers says dat you kin lift 280 pounds
wild your jaws, and dat you kin sustain
your own weight seben minits by cotch-
in q strap in your mouf."
"l-I 'spects dat's so, sah."
"Brudder White, dis club doan' go a
cent on champions. Champion rowers
am simply crooks. Champion wrestlers
are only loafers wild clean shirts on.
De champion runner am, sooner or
later, an inmate of de work-house. De
champion walker walks away from his
bod bill. Show me a so-called cham
pion and I'll show you a bad citizen.
Brudder White, you am a man wild an
iron jawp'
Yes, sab. Al
use dat jaw properly an men win
bress you. You have a wide field befo'
you. You kin help to tear down houses
wild dat jaw. You kin tow schooners
up an down de ribber wild profit to yer
self an pleasure to commerce. You
kin help de firemen-you kin aid de po-
ice-you need have no fear of bitin' off
mo- dan you can chaw. Do dis quietly
an modestly, an widout any blowin' of
hons. Bite honestly when you strike a
railroad spike, an chaw on de squar'
when you git hold of piece of sheet
iron. Do dis, am we shall be glad dat
you are amongus. Start out as a cham
pion, an off goes your name from our
books. You kin now return to your
what course You will adopt" ."-Detroit

do that. it will not meet the expectations
of its supporters.
The disastrous effects of this inhuman
policy are having most blighting infiu-
ence upon the material prosperity of the
State. With all the undeveloped re-
sources of the State, which would be in
viting enough under ordinary circum-
stances, immigration, foreign or domes-
tic, is thing almost unknown, and
many of the blacks have become so dis
contented under such mean treatment,
that they now talk of seeking homes Il
a more congenial society. OF course
there are no manufacturing interests in
the State that are worthy of the name,
and even agriculture is carried on in the
most primitive way and by the poorest
paying methods. While the Illinois farm
ers are getting all the money they
wish to borrow to make improvements
and erect buildings, at from six to eight
per cent. per annum, the landowner in
South Carolina pays from eighteen to
twenty five per cent. upon loans. The
regular bank rate in Charleston is one
per cent per month. In no Northern
or Western State is money so hard to
get, and in none is the rate of interest
so high. /
Recently real-estate owner in Chi-i
cago, who wished to make improve
ments, borrowed of a life insurance,
company S100,0O at five per cent. in
terest- If the loan had been applied
for by a citizen of South Carolina, it:
would have been rejected at any rate of
interest and with any amount of collat-
eral security, because the risk is too
great. And this risk grows out of the
disturbed condition of society, the un-
certainty to human life, and the stagna-
ton that is everywhere visible in every
kind of business. Money goes where
there is energy, push, the supremacy of
the law, industry and good order. It
shuns those localities where men are
shot down like dogs for opinions sake
and where more attention is given to
politics than to legitimate business
The South paid too much attention to
politics before the war, and she ought
to be admonished by that terrible les
son. 1t was en- improbable pursuit
when she had slaves to do all her work
and the whites could give their entire
attention to running the Government
She will find it even less remunerative;
now, when new order of things has
been established upon the equality of
man. Let her not read the history of
the last twenty years backward--some
of it painful and bloody-but profit by;
the example of her more prosperous
Northern neighbors. Exchange.

Mrs. Blossom poised her coffee-cup
gracefully in her hand, and said, sweet
": ''Oh, no, thank you. Are you and

MIR. Mccormick said: '.Yes, very

But Mrs. Blossom said the McCormicks
never had any society standing, and she
guessed she knew the points of etiquette
as well as they did.
After that Mr.. Ayers opened the door,
stared and smiled. Then young lady
and gentleman peeped in and giggled.
Then Mrs. Conkey glanced in; and so
they kept it up until Mr.. Blossom said
he'd swear to it that every person in
those parlors had peeped through that
door at them and gone away grinning
They finished their ice-cream rather
hastily and returned to the parlor. The
hostess begged them not to hasten away.

choking voice:
'tDon't you see, Thomas Blossom,
they haven't had supper yet. Oh, /
never can face that crowd again." and
she relapsed into hysterical tears.

gasped Mr.. Blossom.
'' L know they haven't" she declared,
convulsively. ''I asked the girl and

Mr.. Blossom. 'HTwas against my bet

An Urchin From the Country Come to
Be q BOOtblack.


Eddie Dailey's home is in Chillicothe,
Mo-, but Eddie was not satisfied with
home. He pined for the glorious aban-
don of city life, glowing descriptions of
which he had read in the Boys Own
Bulldozer and kindred publications.
He is only fifteen years old, but he was
confident that he would have no end Of
fun if he came to st. Louis. He yearned
for the pictured excitement of a boot
blacks career and the independent and
untrammelled existence which these ubi-
quitous gentlemen are popularity sup
posed to lead. Having worked himself
up to the proper degree of enthusiasm,
he got five dollars from his mother last
Saturday morning and boarded a freight
train bound city-wards. He stopped at
some intervening town and induced
knight of the hammer to make him a
box similar TO those carried by the ideal
bootblack. He had no doubt that when
he arrived in the city he would rescue
several helpless maidens from the hands
of some designing miscreant, and that
sort of work was better than milking
cows and feeding horses at any rate.
Freight trains travel slow and Eddie
did not see the Future Great" until
Monday morning. Instead of pursuing
the villain, he found himself pursued by
big blue-coated "cop" in East st.
Louis, who had him sent to the Fou
Courts, where he was asked to give an
account of himself. This was rathe
embarrassing to a young man who had
started out with the intention of being
lie Grand Chevalier who made a busi-
ness of righting all wrongs. But the
aforesaid cop had no romance in his
composition, and Eddie and his box and
brushes and other accoutrements were
stood up before Sergeant Schmitgens.
He said he came to town to have Z" some
fun;' that he had half-sister residing
at 1908 Olive street, who was :" bloom

MALARIA.
Malaria is an almost in
describable malady which
not even the most talented
physicians are able to faith
ON. Its cause is most fire.
quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. 1t
often affects the sufererwith
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow of his former self.
Malaria once having laid ito
hold upon the human frame, the
door Of the system Is thrown open
to nervous diseases. The body
weak and enfeebled absorbs no
nourishment, but subsisting upon
itself, the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions
theliver becomes torpid, and other
organs falling to do their routine
work, speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt
to ensue.
In addition to being a certain cure
for malaria and chills and fever,
Browns IRON BITTERs is highly
recommended for all diseases requir-
ing certain and efficient tonic; es-
allyindigestion, dyspepsia, inter
mittent feYers, want of appetite, loss
