Hon. S. J. Randall is making a tour
Of the, leading Southern cities for the
purpose of studying the resources and
industries of the South. He expresses
himself in favor of tariff reduction to an
extent that will only raise revenue
enough to defray the expenses of the
government, adjusted SO as to protect and
foster American industries. Mr.. Randall
has not included South Carolina in his
route. If his tour is meant to be the
forerunner of boom for President in
1888, he should have sighted no State.

We take pleasure in endorsing the
article Of the Greenville Neacs, recon-
mending Hon. D. F. Bradley for the po-
sition of Collector of Internal Revenue
for South Carolina. Col. Bradley is
thorough Democrat, and has done valua-
bic service for the party, and for his
State. BE san upright, reliable, worthy
gentlemen, Of fine business qualifications
and ability. In our opinion, he is the
very man for the position named. and If
appointed would discharge the duties OF
the Office accsptably to the government,
and with credit to himself. He has the
confidence and respect Of the people OF
the State, and his influence would 60
yery far to secure obedience to the Reye-
nue. laws throughout the District. In
the enforcement Of these laws he ,sould
have the 6rmness and judgment rleces-
sary to properly execute them, and ut the
same time would employ sufficient tact
to enforce them considerably and prop
erly, 50 that the prejudice which has been
aroused BY the bad men who have held
these positions would gradually disappear.
We hope Col. Bradley viii receive the
appointment.

It's amusing to see how tender-footed
Gel tain blood remedy proprietors have
become of late. They make much ado
about '.apes and imitators," when none
are in sight.
The proprietors of B. 3. B. would say
most emphatically that their remedy
stands upon its own merit. Should we
attempt to initiate, it would not be those
who do not understand the modus oper-
andi of that which they offer. Our own
long experience in the profession pre-
cludes such an idea. The field for blood
remedies is large and broad affording
ample room for all present aspirants. We
do not desire to close the door against
others, neither shall it be closed against
us. B. B. B. is the quickest remedy,
does not contain mineral or vegetable
poison, does not initiate, and is in the field
as an honorable competitor for public
favor 400

None of the Anderson delegation have
responded to the call for information as
to how the bill for prohibition election
in Anderson County failed to become a
Law. The one thousand voters who
petitionsd for the right of this election
are entitled to know why the bill was
reported without recommendation in the
House, and why no action was taken on
it in the Senate, beyond the refusal of the
Judiciary Committee, of that body to in
troduce the bill. Our Senator is a
member of that Committee and can
doubtless tell why the Committee deci-
ded against the bill. Welearn that two
of our. Representatives went before that
Committee, one against the bill and the
other for it. Why not tell the people
how the}delegation stood, and what they
did on this bill. They are the agents,
not the masters of the people. We are
entitled to an account of their steward
ship. They are, of course, sincere in their
views, and they ought not to be too timid
to express them. We want to know who
{ are the members of the Anderson dele
gatiou that arrogated 10 themselves to
refuse compliance with the wishes of
their constituents on this bill. Speak
out, gentlemen, and enunciate your posi-
tions. Tell us in Anderson what you
have done in Columbia.

makes this matter personal at the start
By trying to belittle those who oppose the
State University and the Canal. They
are "local politicians" (which means, as
every one knows, men of no reputation
beyond their immediate sections), who
have "pent.up rhetoric" to expend. The
INTELL1GENcER. on the contrary, favors
these measures. Certainly, after go in
vidious distinction, it is in order for
the Observer to draw comparison and
state its estimate of those who agree
with it.
As to the probable result of the dis
cussion of these matters in the General
Assembly, the Observer has no expecta-
tion that there will be any "changein the
policy of the State" for the present; but
this should not deter any one from ex-
pressing his views and making an honest
fight for what he believes to be right.
We entertain no malice towards any
one: but we have no patience with big
OTIS who try to belittle and deride those
who disagree with their opinions. If
styling the members of the General As.

those who favor it, is not intended to
belittle them, then what is it for?

that the right to criticise is not an OK.

criticise others must himself submit to
criticism and that malice is no more to
