The Question Settled.


1t was tho boastful cry of both old
party leaders two years ago that the
financial question had been settled:
that further agitation was unnecessary
and that Grecnbackers could return to
their first love. Either they wilfully
misrepresented tho facts or else were
blindly ignorant of the question about
which they were having SO much to say.
We were disposed then and We are dis
posed now to believe that, in n great
majority of instances. ignorance prompt
cd their assertions. Every intelligent
Greenbacker knew that the question
| was very far from being settled, and
events are proving that they are the
only ones who had any comprehension
| Of the matter.
1t is beginning now to be discovered
that the whole question is quite likely
to he fought over again this winter.
The rapid payment OF our 3 and B.
| per cent bonds has already forced out
of circulation something over
12,OOO,OoO OF national bank notes,
and the payments of all these
bond will entirely obliterate our
national bank system. What shall
take their place? is the question
which now presents itself to the people.
Shall it be national bank system, with
the privilege of basing its circulation
| upon the State Indebtedness? Ii So,
then we may expect Il system as nnsta'
bic, almost, as tho old "Wild Cat" sys-
tenn was. Already some OF our South
ern States have found themselves una
bic to meet their interest obligations
and have had to repudiate part Of their
debts by refunding their old bonds at
40 and so per cent discount of then
face value, and some OF our Northern
States are going to find themselves face
to face with the same necessity ere long.
What would be the effect upon cir
culating medium with such bonds for a
basis? What the people need is u per-
manent financial system, free from
dangers. This. the bankers will argue,
can be given by making IA permanent
debt for their particular benefit. That
is to say, that the people shall furnish
all the faith and security necessary fol
safe medium OF of exchange, and then
permit few individuals to control its
power and reap if emolaments, II the

Justice" writing to the Neeos
and Courier, attempts to justify the
Abbeville lynching on the ground
that the assault made by Dave
Roberts was much more desperate
than the press made it appear. He
says that Roberts was not lynched
for stealing cotton, that the theft
was lost sight Of in the magnitude
of the crime Of attempted murder.
"Justice" will do us q favor, then,
by explaining why the words scot
ton thief were found pinned on
the breast Of the murdered man.

or Years in Poliffcs.

The Greenyille Nescs suggests
that every Democratic club should
arrange for four meetings during
the year; and the suggestion meets
the approval Of some of the most
influential newspapers in the State.
The Anderson Iatet1igencer says ;:
..It is the off year, and men
would discuss State and National
politics more freely and candidly
than they could be expected TO do
in the midst Of State campaign.
0ur people viii have a hot canvass
next year, and it is the part of wis
dom TO be prepared for it in ad-
vance.
ne regard it as the part of wis
dom for our people to rest from the
excitement and annoyances of poll
tics, and devote themselves to their
regular industries. BY diligently
following their industrial pursuits,
they can best prepare for the poiti-
cal excitement and interruptions of
business that viii inevitably come
in 1884.
There are persons always ready
to predict that the next, or the next.
political canvass will be hotter than
those that have gone before; but we
have learned to have little faith in
their predictions, and we see no
reason for expecting an uneom-
monty hot canvass in 1884, so far
as our State is concerned. Besides,
it is the experience of all political
parties, that the people organize
more readily and more compactly
for a hot canvass, than they do
when victory is foregone conelu-
sion. It does not require four
meetings year, in of years, 10 pre-
pare our people for any canvass
that can be forced upon them; for
with them it is, after all, only a
question of civilizations question
whether the white man, with his
thousand years ofrace culture, shall
submit to a rule ofignorance and cor
ruption, and this determines the
character of their ballots.
The average club meeting is not
likely to teach one much about the
great political and economical
questions. Of the day; and, in our
judgment, four meetings this year
would be four meetings thrown
away; so let the people put them
of till they will count in a political
canvass. The people are already
600 much inclined to make busi-
ness Of politics,-an their prinei-
pies will not rust out in one year.
Let the country settle to quiet, ear
nest work. The people are all
right; let them alone, and take care
of the political leaders. We cast
our vote against any meetings in an
off year.

The following extract has been
handed to US, we commend it to our

handed to US, We commend it to our
readers:
.Great nations are known by their
roads, by their great high1ays, and
well paved ana well ordered streets.
When the Romans held Great Bri-
tain one of the mightiest of their
works, perhaps the mightiest, was
the construction of the great
Roman road extending from the
south of Britain to the farthest
north. 1t was the imperial high
way along which the messengers of
the Empire travelled; it was a
mighty piece of roadmaking, the
work of far-seeing and preseient
sagacity, and an iron will. Roads
create towns, they call up at once
humble villages and stately cities
along their line, they create the
centres of larger or lesser popula-
tions, they break up the monotony
of isolation, and thus they destroy
dialects and create pure language;
and SO also create the continuity
and progress of thought; they form
the chain which binds scattered
people together; they are proof of
persistent design and government
and social order; malignant elements
may still hnger along the line, but
gradually they diminish end become
weaker and fewer. Thus a road is
a silent system of police, which by
its very existence calls a people
| from social barbarism and wretch
edness.''

There is a young lady in Anderson
County who can do almost anything
she turns her hand to. Her father
takes considerable interest in bee
culture, and has quite number of
bee lives. Some time since the
bees made a new swarm, and there
was not vacant hive to put them in,
and no one on the place at that time
to make one. Being very desirous
of securing the bees, the young
lady set to work to make a hive.
Gathering up a few plank, a saw
and a hammer, she soon made a
very neat and substantial hive and
placed the bees in it. Young man,
if you can get such girl as that
for wife, you will never starve to
death. If you will manage to keep
the bucket filed with water, we
venture she will furnish you with
bread.-Aadersoa Intelligencer.
