Stringent Rules Against Dynamite.

LONDON, February 13.-The recent
dynamite explosion in the House ot
Commons having demonstrated the fact
that under the existing rules governing
the admission of strangers 10 the gale.
ries aud lobbies Of the House of Parlia-
ment, it would be an easy matter Tor
dyuamiters to convey explosives into the
buildings during the session OF Parlla-
ment and cause the death Of many OF its
members, the Government has decided
to adopt more stringent rules regulating
tho admission of visitors. Members of
Parliament in future will not be allowed
TO introduce strangers into the galleries
aud lobbies. The Speaker of the House
Of Commons will alone have the right Of
granting tickets OF admission TO visitors,
and be will only issue tickets to members
for their friends after having received q
weeks notice, so that in the meantime
the anteceden.s Of the propused visitor
can be inquired into. Turnstiles will be
erected at the entrances to the galleries
aud lobbies and experienced detectives
will be posted at each of the turnsliles TO
carefully scrulinize strangers as they
pass. In all cases, visitors who are
accorded permission to enter the House
of Commons will be required to register
their names and addresses, and will be
furnished with numbered tickets, which
will be charged up against their respec-

Young Mal,oue Again.

There was an interesting scene at the
National Theatre, last Friday night,
which in small way rivals the recent
scandslous outbreak at Castle Stewart.
The Mestayer Company was plying an
engagement there. Miss Marie Bokel, o
member of the company, attracted the
favorable attention of q young man, the
son of Senator. This youngster, with
party of srnallfry swells, generally
make the uptown hotels the meeting.
places to devise new designations of a
character suited to their feeble intellects.
This night, however, he and one of his
friends were unusually bold. After the
curtain fell in the last act they climbed
upon the stage, pushed their way behind
the curtain, and stumbled about until
they found themselves in Miss 'Boke's
dressing room. She screamed for help.
Her husband and one or two members
of the company appeared, and, after
spanking the two young men soundly
took them by the ears and led them out
into the alley.

SedItl0n In London.

LONDON, February l6.-Great excite.
ment was occasioned here to-day by the
riotous conduct of large number of
unemployed workmen. Three thousand
OF them paraded the streets with banners
bearing notices suggestive of their
grievances. Several bands of music nc.
companied the procession, which marched
to the building occupied by the local
government board. "A committee from
the ranks entered the Office and domain.
ded relief for the people they represent
ed. They wanted immediate employ.
ment on the construction of municipal
works, which they said were needed for
the public good.
The officials OF the board repulsed the
committee and the crowd became howl
ing mob. The police attempted to inter.
fere, but were soon overpowered. The
paraders then invaded Downing street
and stopped in front of the official resi- :.
dence of Gladstone. They howled and
hissed inyectives against the Govern
Hent. The Cabinet council was being
held at the time and the mob attempted
to force their way into the room where
the council was sitting. The police at
this point received reinforcements and
elected the intruders.
The mob then attempted to storm the
admiralty and home Office but we're
driven off and finally dispersed by the
police.

A Philadelphia Herrou.

PHILADELPHIA, February 13.-The
fire last night at the almshouse entirely
destroyed that portion set apart for the
insane. OF 6S4 lunatics confined there
many are missing, but it il thought most
of them wandered away.
At 8 O'Clock this morning two more
charred bodies we're found in ward No. 9.
They were roasted beyond ali recognition.
Severn! human forms can be seen in the
burning wreck in the cellar. 1t is now
thought that twenty. eight Of the inmates
perished. That number of violent pa.
tients were locked in cells on the third
floor and could not be reached. Eight
have been taken out deed, and the 9th.
ers are not accounted for. There seems
no doubt that they are lost among the
ruins.
During the night many insane persons
were found wandering in different parts
OF the city, some nearly naked. The
poor creatures generally seemed unable
to understand the situation, and in some
eases begged piteously not TO be thrown
into the river. Others seemed to take Il
as grand joke, and laughed gleefully
when the subject Of the fire was men.

street early this morning with manacle
attached to his wrist and few links OF
chain dangling from it. He Hhrieked
and laughed as he struck right and left

found necessary to use violence, and
knock him down before he could be &c.
cured. Another madman caused panic
in q street car by rushing in half clad
and with his face scorched and black.

other with much distrust.
The firemen are still at work on the
ruins. They arc weary aud half frozen,
each mans helmet and coat appearing as
hard as armor, but their search for the
bodies is continued steadily. There ap.
pears to have been o great deal of un.,

Eleven bodies were found to day In the
ruins Of the burned insane asylum at the
Blockley almshouse. These we're re

were snfocated and removed from the

INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR.

There is now progressing III interest.
ing contest for the position of Internal
Revenue Collector for South Caro-.
lima. The friends Of Hon. D. +. Brad.
Icy, of Pickens, hope and believe that he
Is to be the coming man. Col. Bradley
has, In our judgment, better qualification
and stronger claims for the Office than
any gentleman who has been named ior
the position. He resides in the mountain
regions Of the State, where the Revenue
laws have been more generally resisted
than In other sections, and 10 therefore
better acquainted with the people, aud
the means necessary to enforce these laws
among them. Col. Bradley has an ex.
tensive acquaintance among the citizens
OF the section, and great influence
over them, and by these means could &c.
complish more than another who Is not
80 acquainted. He is gentleman of
sterling integrity, of fine abilities. and
Of extensive experience. He hss served
his State most faithfully in all the rela.
tions of citizen ship-from those that try
mems patriotism most severely, to those
which exemplify the virtues of the pri.
vate citizen, and 10 oil of them he has
proven himself diligent, faithful and
efficient. Hia appointment to this Office
would be merited reward for his past
services, and at the came time il would
assure the people of the State of com.
petent and faithful public officer. There
are several other gentlemen applying for
this Office, but We think, without dispar.
agement to them, that Col. Bradley's
appointment would give better satisfac.
tion to the people of ths State than any
that has been mentioned. He not only
has as strong or stronger claims than any
of the applicants personally, but his
residence Is in the best locality and
besides this he comes from County and
represents section which has done
valuable service for the Democracy ever
since reconstruction, without ever receiv.
ing the assignment of single important
office in its limits, while his principal
competitor comes from a County which
to day has ut least four Of the best Off.
ces in the State, and has been equally
fortunate ever since 1876. Under these
circumstances, We hope Col. Bradley will
receive.t the appointment.

whether spirituous liquors ahsll be sold
In their limits, why should people who
live In County not have the right to
say whether it shall be sold or not within
the limits of the County? The law now
says that such liquors can only be sold
10 the cities and towns because there is
no police system in the County to pro
tcct The peace and quiet of the country :;
but 1t also says that the question of Ii.
ceuse or no license shall be determined
by the voters in such cities and towns.
This il very well, where tho people in
the country do not want to have auy
voice in determining the matter, for
County elections would be onerous and
vexatious unless the people felt au inter.
est in the subject but when large
number of the people Of the County
petition for the right to determine the
question for their County, we think the
right ought to be granted them. There
is no reason, TO our mind, why such re.
quest should be refused The people of
the County have rs much interest in the
matter as the people of the towns, and
it would hardly be coutended that they
have not the intelligence, he patriotism
and the integrity to settle it, rs well az
those who live in the towns. Such an
extension would not destroy, but simply
enlarge the scope Of the local option
law. Would this spill. the Democratic
partys. We think not.
AS the law now stands about Eve hun.
drcd men in the City Of Anderson, and
less than one hundred in the town of
Pendleton, have the determination OF
the question of whether liquor can be
sold in this County. If it does not split
the Democratic party for six hundred
out Of the six thousand voters in the
County to have the right to settle this
matter, how can it split the party to let
the whole six thousand have the settle.
ment of it? AS the law now stands a
majority Of six hundred can settle it.
'y leaving it to the County 1t would
require majority of all the six thou,and,
if they saw fit to vote. As it standA Nv,
little over one.twentieth of the County

County it would take more than one.
b. TO determine it, II the people will
8. nit to decision by one man out oI
every twenty without breaking up the
Democratic party, they would much more
chcerfully abide determination made
by one-half or more of the citizens o
the County.
For these reasons We think there is nc
foundation for Maj. Moore's iden that Q
vote in Anderson County on the prohibit
ton question viii! split the Democratic
party, and being no foundation for such
fears we do not think our Representative
have the right to make themselves mas
ters Of the people by refusing to permit

Buffers Opinion of Cleveland.

Senator NJ. G. Butler said: IL have
no hesitation in saying to yon that said
to Mr.. Cleveland that did not want to
have him recognize the South as the
South, but rather as Democrats. In
other words, there should be no question
of section. All that wanted was sim.
ply fair treatment, and no discrimination

cratic party" Senator Butler said that
Mr. Cleveland's pictures gave an incor.
rect and unjust idea of him. The pic.
lures make him appear heavy. He found
him, on the contrary, very alert, cool and
with perfect mastery Of himself He
liked his simple, business.like manners
and the neatness and simplicity of his
general appearance. He believes that he
will be President who will be o credit
to his party and bis country. He de.
clined TO state whether he had personal
preference iu the make up Of the Cabi.
net, but 1t is we'll understood about the
Senate that during bis visit to Mr. Cleve.
