it is all right. Iwish we all could
read our titles clear to mansions
in the skies. Land is cheap
enough down here on the top side
Of this green earth, but I'm afraid
we will find it very dearup yonder.
This is blessed country for the
poor. We can't realize how bless
eel until we read about the old
world and talk to people who have
Travelled there. Just think of land
renting for $50 an acre in England
and $40 in Germany. Just think
Of the average laborer working 12
hours for forty cents and boarding
himself. No wonder they keep
coming over here here, and they
would choose the South instehd Of
the North and West if they were
not fooled by those agents who
arr paid to work for the railroads
and get settlers for their lands.
The South has got no agents. We
tried to establish agencies of i'm
migration and we had pamphlets
printed telling all about our eli
mate and productions and the first
thing we knew them fellows up
North had great big maps printed
and stuck up everywhere showing
the Dismal swamp to extend from
Virginia to Texas. Nearly all Of
Georgia is covered with it. Well.
our folks couldn't make the for
eiGners believe but that it was all
so and they wouldn't come. Those
Northern rascals have been swim
ding us for a hundred years by all
sorts Of tricks and devices. But
we will get even with them after
awhilc--sec if We don't. The time
was when we had statesmen Of
principle for our President and
Cabinets. Who ever heard Of a
President plundcring the govern
mrnt or being mixed UP in any
mon2yed scheme before the war?
The war seems to have corrupted
the whole yankee nation and made
stealing respectable. How came
all these charges against Grant.
Garfield and Hayes and Arthur,
and all those chaps connected with
the editMobilicr, the railroad
subsidies and the star route trans
actions; There were no Southern
men in those schemes.
But what surprises me now is to
see big lot Of them fellows up
tacre splitting off from the party
and saying they won't support
Blaine because he plundcred the
treasury. When did Mr.. Bcechcr
and Mr.. Adams and the Harpers
and Judge Tourgec and the other
editors take this new departure?
when did they reform? They have.
supported the whole Republican
shebang for twenty years and lust
now begin to preach political NOR
ality. There is something pcculiarI
about this. The tluth is Arthur
had a slate and these fellows wercI

they have got. He is the best
statesman, and has got the big
gest brain, and the grandest way
Of doing things. Why, even when
he steals there is nothing little
about it, and he divides literally
and tells on nobody. l never ex-
pected any respectable Republican
to find fault with him for plunder-
ing the government. They have
all been doing it so long that we
thought it was plank in their
platform. If we have got to take
a Republican for President we
want Mr.. Blaine. He has got
enough and won't want any more
and he will put stop to the bus
mess. He is no little trickster.
He wouldn't stoop to put darkey
in as chairman Of the great Re
publican convention that was to
nominate President-not him.
| heard Blaine man say the 9TH
cr day that he had letter from
him since his nomination and if he
was elected he would make clean
sweep OF every darkey that was in
office.
But Mr.. Cleveland is reformcr
sure enough. He comes from that
kind Of stock, He has got South
t'rn name and a Southern pedigree.
His ancestors came from Carolina.
Cleveland is Carolina name.
They were the old cavaliers and
wouldn't stoop to do a mean thing
The Clcvelands are all about inI
Carolina now. and still the same
proud and noble stock. When
Grover Cleveland gets to be Pres
idcnt he will clean up things gen
orally. He is following in Mr..
Tilden's lead and will wear his
mantle when the old man is gone.
I'm free to say that I believe Mr..
Blaine is the smartest man, the
grandcst man, but Cleveland is the
safest and most reliable. WhenI
Ben Hill whipped out Blaine in the
Andersonville A matter, Blaine didn't
go off and pout and plot revenge,
but he gave it up nobly and went
over and congratulated Mr.. Hill
and they became warm personal
friends and could be seen together

vania avenue. l like that. 1t did
me good. And when we wanted toI
build a monument to Mr.. Hill heI
was among the first to send down
a liberal contribution. But he has
gotten 4 man tied on to him that
wouldn't have done that.

big road and say howdy. He has
The Easley messenger. (Easley, S.C.) 1883-1891, 1884-07-11


He is a turbulent disturber of the
public tranquility. He is no gen
tleman, and I'll bet ten dollars Mr..
Blaine feels handicapped by hav-
ing him on his ticket. But such
is politics. That was the way with
Garfield. They tied Arthur on to
him. He was nothing but q ward
politician bumming around among
the brothels Of New York. Histo-
ry is still repeated. The great
men Of the nation who won't stoop
to meanness can't be made Presi-
dents. 1t all goes by favors and
by rings for plumber and office.
Blaine is a great man and 1 was
hopeful Of the sign but the respect
able Republicans are against him.
The Tribune is for him and that
is the leading paper, but you see
the Tribune was on his slate.
Whitclaw Reed is to be minister to
England and that is all right. He
will make Il good one. He is smart
and bold and has got money
enough to do him and his chill
dren. SO let him 90.
Well, we can't please everybody,
and so if we can't get our man,
let's take Blaine, and be thankful
that we live in land where the
gospel is dispensed with. I heard
a good man say the other day that
he knew Blaine was good man
for he was Presbyterian. That
shows our prejudice, and it's all
right. We get our religion from
our fathers. You couldn't make
that man believe that Blaine is Il
bad man. We are all very selfish
and we can't help it-not 50 selfish
about money, but about honors
and Office and the like.
Well, we are through our har-
vest The wheat shocks stand
thick in the field, and are solid
comfort to look at. Pm looking at
them now. Next thing is the
"traveling thrash,' and / shall sit
down by it with a piece Of soft
pine in my hand and cut notch
for every measure as it is poured
in the sack. There is no politics
about that, and everything is calm
and serene. Cobe is hopeful and
holds his head up. When I asked
him last summer about his crop,
he said: "Major, it's about null
and void, and if the weathar don't
adulterate very soon it will be
muller and voidcr.' But he will
biscuit soon and be happy.

their employ better to engage him at that work
i He favored the resolution.
Hon. s. G. Wilder said he thought that il would
take a civil engineer with four tive assistants,
months time, at a probable cost Of STOOO, TO make
the survey He had had the route carefully sur
veyed at cost of 5000. Held n contract and a
charter for the building of the road, with n sub
sidy from the government OF S2JOO per nile. Inc
company received that rate for building some ~
miles OF the kohala railroad, receiving in total
from the Government about S50.uO0. The kohala
railroad cost $4,000 per mile to build, and the
speaker desired to inquire of Representative hau-
lukou. how many crooks would be liable TO be put
in at loss of 81, so per mile tL1ughter.l hep
resentative kaulukou had said that the road was
dangerous the speaker stated that the road had
been in operation for tso years without an acct
dent The road could be built from Hilo to ku-
kuihale. He was in favor Of it, as it would open
up the only large of land in the whole islands
fit for agricultural purposes From the present
aspect of affairs in the country. he did not think
TINT capitalists would invest Road could be built
for $4,000 per mile for 20 miles. If the Assembly
offered a subsidy of 5000 per mile he thought
start might be made.
On vote being taken the resolution was laid on
the table.
AT SaI5 O'Clock. on motion of Representative
Smith. the 'Order Of the day was taken up
bringing the bill 10 provide for the registration
and Identification Of male Chinese residing in the
Hawaiian Islands, before the Assembly for con-
sideraiInn in Committee Of the Whole.
Attorney General drew the attention Of the As
sembly to a petition that had been presented. re-
lative to the bill, in which certain Chinese ner-
chants desired thnt counsel for them, Z. Preston
Esq. he allowed to appear before the committee.
considered that the bill could be better considered
by a special committee first and then II necessary
by Committee of tho Whole. Moved that bill be
referred to a Special committee, Carried and the
Attorney General, Representative c. Brown, Gov
errors Dominis and kanoa, and Representative
Piipo, were appointed to serve.
Second reading of the bill to amend Section l
Chapter VII Session Laws of 1873 relating to
granting of holidays to employees on election
days.
Representative Hitchcock moved the indefinite
postplnement; the Attorney General, reference to
Committee on Commerce.
Representative Hitchcock stated that the desired
change was not necessary, the law now allowing
all who are entitled, time for voting. He did not
consider it would be proper to allow lot of aliens,
immigrants who had votes, to engage IN a
holiday. Such action would curtail work on the
plantations and result in no public good.
Representative Paohau objected TO the bill being
referred to the Committee on Commerce as the
members OF that committee were all sugar planters
and they would be sure to kill the bill. He moved
to refer to a select committee.
The bill was finally referred 10 Committee on
Commerce. At As O'Clock the Assembly adjourn
ed until pm. the following day.

Representative Kalua presented a resolution
that when the Assembly adjourn, it do so for one
week that is from June 9nd TO June 9th,
Representative kanealii hoped that the member
would give some good reason for the introduction
Of such n motion. He was satisfied himself that
some Of the members could be granted Ieavs Of
absence if they desired it, their presence being
easily dispensed with. He moved the indefinite
postponement of th6 resolution. tr
