DEMOCRACY SUCCUMBS TO
MONOPOLY.

The false positions assumed by the
Democratic party from time to time is
strongly and pertinently illustrated by
the action OF the democratic members OF
the Ohio legislature last week in select
ing Henry B. Payne for United States
Senator over George H. Pendleton. The
Democrats have poised before the country
in the attitude of anti-monopolists and as
bitterly opposed to the concentration of
capital yet, in their selection of PAYNE
they prove false to this position. Payne
is the head and front of the Standard Oil
Company, the most monstrous monopoly
of the age, one of its chief stockholders
and its attorney. HIS son, Oliver Payne,
is the treasurer Of the Standard Oil Com
pany, and throu gh his influence his faith
er's success is largely attributed. The
cry goes forth that the members were
corruptly approached and there are threats
of an investigation into the ways and
means used towards bringing about Mr.,
Payne's triumph. The Democrats have
appeared also in the role of reformers,
even civil service refOrmers, but they
openly repudiate George H. Pendleton,
he author of the civil service bill, which
the country has endorsed, by electing as
his successor in the United States Senate
III. B. Payne, who holds in adherence
civil service reform. Again, the Demo
Gratis are fierce free traders and tariff re-
formers but they elect Payne, an out-and-
out protectionist, to the Senate. The
Ohio Democrats have indeed stultifed
themselves, and in their work we have
a beautiful example of the power Of
money in politics. Their course leaves
Ohio no longer a doubtful state. She
may be safely counted now in the Re
publican column.

men and endorsed by the labor unions,
all voted for Payne and received share
of the money spent by the Standard Oil
company, which spent thousands in Col
umbus and sent there 200 Cleveland
Democrats on railway tickets purchased
by the oil company, whilesall their ex-
penses were met by money from the
Standard. George Stoll, editor of the
Messenger, admits that he received 800

editor of the Labor Star, it is said, re-
ceiYed $3.50. For two weeks before the
actual engagement at Columbus, Stand

representing the Standard Oil company.

were notorious blacklegs. Even John
Huntington, the general agent of the oil
company at Cincinnati drank, ate and
slept with Representative Roach, of
Cleveland, until his vote was cast
The Hamilton county representatives
were also bounded increasingly until
their votes were delivered. Every prom.

personal spy. Besides the spies gang
of howlers were bought on free tickets
from Cleveland, among them men who
! had not money enough to buy drink Of
whisky. The more respectable howlers
did the lobby-shouting, while the others
were pointed out as representative work
ingmen who had come out of pure patri-
otism to work for Payne, Immediately
on hearing the result of the ballot, Hun
tington, the Standard oil man, went be-
hind the bar of KelIy's saloon and began
serving every one present with liquor.
Soon large crowd gathered. Hunting

HE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION =

The PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION -
Among the various plans proposed since
the death of President Garfield for regu-
lating the succession to the White House,
that was suggested by Representative
McCoid, of Iowa, in the last Congress
and now brought forward again, is one of
the most promising. Mr. McCoid's idea
in substance is this: He would have the
Electoral College made permanent body,
aud in case of the death, resignation or
nability-whateve that may be-of the
President and Vice President, he would
have the Electors choose a new President.
This plan embodies the views OF the
fathers about the deliberate functions of
Electoral College, and, SO long as the
Constitution requires the choice of that
rather anomalous body, and the election
of the President by it in the first place,
Mr. McCoids plan seems unobiectiona-

On the tariff question he is in favor of

THE RAILROAD LAW.

The News and Courier endorses the
views we expressed last week about the
Railroad Law, and concludes it's article
with the following strong and foTcible
presentation of the needs of our State !:
What is wanted in this and in every
other State, as the Savannah Neus forci.
bly, says, is capital. Immigrants are
also wanted. The South has an abuud-
.ance of the elements of.wealth excepting
workers and money. 1t is short.sighted
policy, therefore, to tax foreign capital
so as to drive it away, or keep it from US ;
and it prevents or cramps progress and
development to make foreign capital
bear unnecessary burdens. The true
policy is to encourage the investment of
capital and the promotion of public en-.
terprises by the enactment of liberal
laws. South Carolina, as rule, has
been liberal enough, but there is no lib.
erality, or justice, in subjecting railroad
companies to regulations which would
not be tolerated, or expected to be borne,
by capitalists engaged in any other class
of business.
y The Legislature, we are aware, has
but little time before it, if the determi.
nation is to adjourn on the day before
Christmas. This, however, should not
be permitted to stand in the way of such
to the Railroad law as are
demanded by the highest interests of the
people of the State. South Carolina
should pay the salaries and expenses of
the Railroad Commission, and substitute
the Massachusetts Law for the entangle-
ments, distractions aud antiquities of
the present system.
1t is the duty of the Legislature to
determine amendments to the Railroad
Law upon their merits, and not lay them
aside simply to avoid extending the sess.
ion for few days. It should be thor
oughly discussed and fully examined
before action, and if necessary recess
until after Christmas should be taken.
Too many interests of the State are in
volved to be thus sunnmarily disposed of.
