Bilked by Brown.

J. Randall Brown, the alleged mind
reader, spirituslist, etc., is evidently
constitutionally adapted to the role of
blk and fraud and carries his gall
with him." BY what means the press
10 the upper country were induced to
give him notices of merit 1t is not for
US to say. Browns performance here
was certainly a colossal fraud and but
for the awe inspired among the audi
ence by his unfaltering bearing and
superb cheek in explaining the cause
of his "partial failure" he would have
been mobbed. The great American
public. however. respect fraud when
well carried out and for that reason ]
Randall Brown was unmolested. Not
even the small boys slogan Rats
was hurled at the snide performer,
but, nevertheless, Brown lost no time
In closing his performance and going
out into the darkness of the night.
We venture to assert that J. Randall
and Lilly May Brown viii not reap

CHARLESTON, s. c.. Sept. 6.-The
light rain which set In at this morn
ing lmade thousands of persons en-
camped In the streets painfully anx-
ious. The colored people. at day.
break, speedily took possession of all
the pieces of old tin they could find in
some of the vacant lots, there were Sec
tions of tin blown from roofs by the
cyclone in Aug, 1885. and which had
been left lying. In other places there
were pieces of tin from houses which
had been unroofed by the earthquake.
Old boards from the debris around the
streets were also used. The occupants
of washington square made raid upon
the ruins of the Hibernian hall and
were carrying off all the old tin, planks
etc, when the police put stop to ii. At
daylight rain ceased and the sun ap-
peared. Later in the morning thert
were several slight showers, but no.
enough to cause serious inconvenience
The rate of mortality for the week
shows total of ninty-eight deaths.
The deaths resulting from the earth
quake number 3S; IL white, q colored.
There is still strong disposition to re-
move the women and children from
the city to spare them further danger
and anxiety. The South Carolina
the Savannah & Charleston and the
Richmond d Danville railways are
giving free transportation, and about
500 passes were issued to white and

An Attempt to Make Party Capital.
1t is not probable that the Republican
Senators will make much capital cut OF
the position they have taken with refer
ence to Secretary Bayard's action in ex-
tending the treaty OF Washington a few
months. For 1883 the JOINT resolution
was passed authorizing a notice to be
given of the termination Of the treaty, and
on Jan. /, 1885, President Arthur issued a
proclamation announcing that the treaty
would terminate the first day Of July fol-
lowing The treaty, it will be remem-
bered, gives American fishermen the right
10 fish in Canadian waters within three
miles from shore. For this privilege this
government paid pending claims to the
amount of 50, 900, 900, and permitted Cana
dian fishermen to market their fish in this
country without the payment of duties.
1t Is estimated that the amount OF duties
RENTED in this way was about $4,000 600.
The govern ment, becoming satisfied that
the treaty was not TO the advantage of
this country, concluded to terminate it,
and notice to that effect was given. Last
March the British Minister called Secre-
tary Bayard's attention to the fact that
the finishing season would be at its
height on July l, and that 1t would be a
hardship TO compel American fishermen
to leave Canadian waters at that time.
He further said that the Canadian au-
thOriues were preparing to cOnfscate
American fishing vessels found in their
waters after the termination of the treaty,
A. l., III
He, therefore, suggested that the treaty
should be extended by agreement until
the close Of the fishing season. To this
the Secretary assented.
The Republican Senators do not deny
that the extension was a good thing for
American fishermen, but insist that the
Secretary exceeded his authority by agree
ing to the extension of the treaty, which,
they say, was in fact a new treaty, with
out consulting the Senate.
Doubtless the Secretary examined the
question carefully before he acted, and
perhaps had precedent for what he did.
he doesn't in all probability consider the
extension to which he assented a new
treaty. But whether it was new treaty
or not, his motive was good one. The
attack on him is not made in good faith.
1t is simply an attempt to make party
capital.

MN Not be ReneaIed At once.

Some of the good Democrats who have
been gratifying their feelings by con-
temptuous references to the civil service
reform law, doubtless feel now that either
those who are in sympathy with them are
greatly in the minority or that Democratic
Congressmen are not well informed about
the sentiment of the country respecting
this law. soon after Congress assembled,
Representative Seney, Of Ohio, introduced
bill 70 repeal the law. The Committee
on Civil Service Reform has just refused
to report the bill fayorably. II is safe TO
say that II the committee had reported it
favorably it wouldn't have passed the
House. The people are in favor OF the
law. and Congressman are not going TO
put themselves in opposition to the popu.
lar wish. Representative Seney says that
he is satisfied that the law IS a humbug.
Re is entitled TO hls opinion, but he isn't
going TO see if repealed this year, and
perhaps not IN a good many years. 1t Ia
on the statute books 70 stay awhile.
