"Prepn Grows Personal.

Mr.. EDITOR: From the tone, tenor,
treble, base and soprano of Mr.. Clink-
scales article last week, my first conclu.
sion is that the gentleman knows very
little about our petition for an election
upon the prohibition question, and had
really forgotten, or would have forgotten
its existence had it not been for some one
reminding him Of it. He said in con.
Yersation in front of the Court House,
some days ago, that the petition should
have been directed to the Anderson
delegation instead of Hon. II. G. Scud'
day, and it would have received more
attention.
My second conclusion with reference
to him, therefore, is that if we had ad
dressed the petition thus: ITO the Hon.
orable r. P. Clinkscales, the Representa-.
tive of the grand Democracy of Anderson
County, South Carolina" it would have
had unbounded, energetic support, and
by him would have been hailed with JOY
and delight as token of respect for
which he would ever have been grateful.
AS for Col. Fuckers reply, would
say, just for one moment imagine Mr.
Rucker, who has scared to the loftiest
elevation that he aspires to, stick biz

1884 the whole of the heart of Africa
remained to be opened up to the occu.
pancy and control OF civilization. 1t
will thus be seen that this Government
in taking part in the Congo Conference
of Berlin has not departed from tradi-
tional policy. On the contrary it has
followed q good precedent, its ri ghts have
been scrupuousIy reserved and guarded
at every stage, and whatever conclusions
the Conference may reach will record the
voluntary aud unanimous opinion of its
members, which the respective govern.

tremely courageous and promises that ht
will fear emo i'll" under circumstances
which mark him as very brave map
He says, however, that his sentiment:
were voiced by King David of old, but
we must confess that our acquaintance
with the writing of'that venerated sage
does not enable us TO find the passage be
quotes. King David may have written
it without our knowing it, and as an in.
ducement for Mr.. Clinkscales to condes.
cend to instruct US, we will give him a
chrome if he will inform US as to the ex.
act portion of King David's composition
in which it may be found. We do not
believe, however, that King David was
able to write such sentence. We have
never met with one in his writings which
compares with it, and until Mr.. Clink-
scales gives us book, chapter and line,
we must conclude that it was reserved
for our Representative to give to the
world sentence so fearfully and WON
derfully constructed.
Mr.. Clinkscales says that if he has not
already exactly stated his position, he
confesses that he is unable 10 find Ian
guage to express it. This may be the
fact, but if 80, it either proves that Mr..
CIinkscales has very limited vocabulary,
or that he has no position on this ques-
tion. 1t may prove both. He has GER
tainly not said that he is in favor of
granting the right to vote, or that he is
opposed to it. Hehas said that he had
not an opportunity to examine the bill,
and therefore favored report without
recommendation. He has not intimated
that he has since made up his mind.
Mr.. Clinkscales certainly knows the
meaning of "yes" and "no." If he will
use one of these words in answer to the
question if he favors the passage of this
bill, he will then define his position.
We repeat we are not after Mr.. Clink-
scales personally. We are criticising
Representative Clinkscales for two things.
First, for overriding the will of the peo.
pie; and second, for not having the
courage of his convictions strong enough
to state them plainly and firmly. As
long as he tries to evade his responsible
ty for official acts, he will find that he is
travelling in ways that are dark, and that
his little tricks to,fool the people will be
vain. Heis undoubtedly partly response
BILE for the failure of this bill, but the
worst feature about his course is, that
be is the only Representative who has
NOT told us how he stood. We think he
has pre.eminently earned for himself the
appellation of the clumsy dodger."

THE WAR TAXES.

The House Committee, by vote of IL
to 4, has determined to report favorably
a bill to refund the direct taxes collected
by the United States Government for
war taxes to the States from which they
were collected. South Carolina is inter-
ested in the direct tax bill to the amount
of 1917, ,961.9O. This tax was imposed
on the various States and Territories to
defray the expenses of the late war.
This State was only required to pay
sS63, ,57O.67, nevertheless she overpaid
her assessment by s14,390.63. These
taxes we're collected from us by the sale
of lands in Charleston, Beaufort and
Georgetown Counties, and, if refunded,
should be paid back to the individuals
whose lands were sold. This would be
but the plainest requirement Of simple
justice. d
All of the States are interested in the
passage of refunding measure, and by
judicious management the bill can be
put through Congress during the present
session. Those States who paid their
assessment, either in full or in part,
should be reimbursed, or the delinquents
should be compelled to pay up. 1t is
not fair that some of the States should
be made to pay their portion, while 9TH
ers simply declare that they are not able
to pay up.
tbs said that Hon. George D. Tillman,
from this State, contributed greatly to
the favorable report upon the bill.

The Democratic party is determined to
build up a respectable navy for this
country, and by doing so, it will COM
mand the respect and support of the
American people. In addition to this,
it should at once so modify existing tariff
and shipping laws as to promote Ameri.
can commerce in American vessels. To-
day, the great commercial exchanges of
this country are conducted through for
eign owned ships, thus giving the freight
charges TO other countries. This should
not be so. Our vessels should carry out
our exports and bring back our imports,
thus making as far as possible the outside
world tributary to our country. The
repletion of our navy is step in the
right direction, but it should be followed
at once by vigorous legislation to encour-
age Americans to own and to build the
ships necessary to conduct our carrying
trade.

Advising the President.Elec

WASHINGTON, January 29.-There is
noticeable revival in the Cabinet making
business. Since Thursday there has been
no end of gossip on this subject. Every
other man one meets at the Capitol has
q Cabinet slate made up to suit his indi-
vidual ideas and preferences. Senators
Butler and Hampton do not appear to be
deeply interested in the Cabinet question.
They have not as yet been invited to
consult Mr.. Cleveland, and they state
positively that they do not propose to
offer him any advice unless they are
specially invited to do so. This may also
be said of the other members of the
South Carolina delegation. They have
their hands full at present. The Federal
patronage question is one that is likely TO
cause every member of the delegation
more or less annoyance. There will be
dissensions and controversies over The
selection of appointees despite the best
efforts on the part of all hands 10 prevent
it. Already small sized war is brewing
over the selection of candidate for the
Office of collector of the port of Charles
ton. I am afraid the "caucus system" Is
not going to work as smoothly as was
antici pated. For instance if it should
be decided by the caucus" that MIR.
Walker is the proper person to be recon-
mended for appointment to the collector.
ship, there is one member of the delega
ton who would probably bolt the "cau'
Gus" nominee and put out an Independent
t;cLet headed nv Mr. Mowry or Gen.
Kennedy. There is another member of
the delegation who declares that he will
not yield his own judgment to that of
anybody iu case where man whom he
knows to be qualified for a position is
interested. So it goes, from one to the
other. For almost every position in their
respective districts the members of the
delegation have their personal friends
whom they desire to have appointed if
possible. There is bound to be certain
amount of cla>hing, Notwithstanding the
Caucus agreement"

PREP.

Mr.. EDITOR: write briefly to record
my hearty and unqualified endorsement
of your criticisms upon the conduct of
certain of our Representatives at the re.
cent session of the General Assembly
with reference 10 the local option matter.
You deserve, and am quite sure are &C.
corded, the "well.done" ofall the friends
of temperance, as we'll as those who be-
lieve in the right of the people to rule.
Circumlocution, and otherwise lodging
the issue, will not avail the gentlemen,
for although the mass of the people
know little of the mazes Of legislation,
they cannot be bamboozled in a matter
so palpable as this.
1t is true, and admitted in some in.
stances, that the people don't know ex-
actly what would be best for them. 1t
is admitted that they make mistakes, and
the truth of this was never more forcibly
illustrated than in the election last Fall.

Dynamite in New York.

New YORK, February 1.-The first
criminal use of dynamite in this city has
greatly excited people here to day. The
explosion took place at a very late hour
last mig hit. One or two of the morning
papers made second editions giving the
news. The explosion was at Garry Bros.
dry goods store at the corner of Grand
and Allen streets, and that section Of the
city was crowded to-day with persons
who had been attracted by the report of
the attempt to destroy property with
dynamite.
There were number of persons pass
ing the spot at the time of the explosion,
but none of them was injured. Police
Captain Allaire and squad of officers
guarded the premises. The goods in the
Allen street side of the store of Garry
Bros. and also in that of Ridley q Sons,
the windows of which had also been
smashed by the explosion, were removed
for safety to the interior Of the stores.
Shortly after the explosion four men were
found by the police iu the shadow of the
Rivington street station of the Elevated
Road. One of them, Charles Henry, a
labor.r, who said he lived in Williams
burg, was discovered to be severely cut
about the head and face, and the Others,
VIM. Britton, waiter, James Daley, Il
clerk, and Jos. Lamb, q printer, were
binding up Henry's wounds. The quar-
tette were seized and locked up, and to-
day at the Essex Market Police Court
they were remanded. To day lad was
brought TO the stationhouse who was
charged with experimenting with dyna
mite at the corner of Grand and Essex
streets, where he succeeded in dislodging
portion of q horse. car track. He could
not be connected with the other explo'
sion. The bomb or cartridge which
caused the explosion last night must
have been placed Immediately under the
framework of the window of Garry Bros.
store. The window casing, sash and
glass were entirely demolished. The
shock was felt several hundred feet away
There is no evidence that a cartridge was
applied to Ridley's store. Had it no!
been for the heavy elevated railroad
structure which runs up Allen street be-
tween the two stores, however, the prob
ability is that good part of the west
side of Ridley's building would have SUI
fered. Many of Ridley's employees
came to the spot to guard the premises
The damage to both buildings will reach
$4,000. The police are satisfied that the
explosion is the outcome of a strike oi
Garry Bros employees.

! of taste and ethics in which we differ
from our Representatives. We are,
however, contending for the right Of the
majority of the people to govern, as
against government by the Representa-
tiyes in defiance of the people. What
Mr.. Clinkscales says about our Repre-
ssentatives not being the State govern.
ment, is true. but he has been in the
Legislature to very little purpose if he
has not learned that the Representatives
from County can generally control the
determination of all local matters. The
Representatives from Pickens and Oconee
Counties have passed prohibition bills
for their Counties, and the Representa-
tiyes from Union passed bill for their
Court House town at the last session.
Does Mr.. Clinkscales mean to say that
the Representatives from Anderson could
not have done the same thing for their
County? If he does, we differ with him.

incapable of doing more than to insinu-
ate,)-that the editor ofthe 1NTELL1GEN'

Greenville (E. T.) Bulletin: Some
of our East Tennessee exchanges give
as their reason for wanting but one
convention to nominate the Governor
and Supreme Judges, that it costs too
much to make two trips to Nashville.
Are they the only persons that are
capable of nominating the said Off
GERS? IfsO, we think there should be
but one convention, as we know of
no editor in East Tennessee that is
able to spend.fro $75 to 800 for the
"good of his country" But if the
said editors are not the only capable
persons, we are for two conventions.
We are rather of the opinion that the
convention to nominate Supreme
Judges would be better off without
these very important lin their own

ventions.
