Editorial News Notes.

Governors Island is in mourning
and the most superb relic Of the war
on the Union side has been removed
Gen. Hancock's last public ap-
pearance was at the head of Grant S
funeral cortege, in New York, on
9Th Of August. How soon he follows
the Old Commander.

Stand Aside Mr.. Tillman.

The whole movement bears with
unmistakable distinctness the ear
marks Of rank demagoguery. South
Carolina is to all intents and purposes
an agricultural State. In fact, until
the last decade, We have been almost
entirely absorbed in this single pur-
suit. The immense majority Of our
people are farmers, and therefore it is
impossible that they can be ignored
or treated unjustly. They are in fact
the controlling clement, and conse-
Quently they have always been able
to enforce all just demands for the
promotion Of their honorable pursuit.
and have always been fully repre-
sented in the government Of the State.
1t is folly at this late day to attempt
to blind the farmer with Hatte y and
cajole him into the belief that his
rights are ignored, and that he does
not get his share Of the plum pudding.
Hampton. Ha2ood. Sims, Richard
son, Lipscomb and Manigault are all
representatives Of the farming inter-
est, and all have enjoyed for pro-
tracted periods comfortable forage
at the public crib, and most Of them
are still in Office. In fact ever since
the establishment Of Democratic rule
in 1876, The farmers have been
strongly represented both at the State
House and in Congress. At the
present time they hold one United
States Senatorship and two Repre-
sentative positions in Congress, be-
sides several Of the mos3 lucret We
aDd hone able positions in and a"oupd
the S;a+e House.
If their interests have been neg
lected, it is because of he persistent
folly Of sending men 10 represent
them in the State Legislature, who
are uaable to obtain q hearing in
consequence Of the lack Of gene al
information and proper education.
The farmers Of South Carolina can
always make themselves heard and
felt when they send delegates to the
Legislature who are competent 70
represent them, but to band together
as q political faction in the manner
proposed by Capt. Tillman, is not the
way to promote the peace, prosperity
and happiness Of our beloved State.
AS a rule farmers are possessed Of
vast amount Of conservatism and
hard common sense, and are not half
so easy to fool as some people imag-
inc. Their mode of life developes in
a pIe-eminent degree habits Of self
respect and sclf.reliance. They are
the best newspaper readers that we
have, and they think Of what they
:ead and form intelligent conclusions.
-Aiken Recorder, FEB. 9th.
We fully agree with Bro. Drayton,
and have been trying to think what
Mr.. Tillman could do FOR any Of the
farmers in Ncwberry County. If he
has plan that will enable them TO
make cotton and corn at less than
what it now costs, or can furnish
them with money enough to make
their crops at lower per cent. than
they can get it at present from the
money lenders and banks, they will
listen to nlm, but if it is simply
agitation, they are too busy to waste
time for that purpose.-ED. II. & n.

At the recent session Of the Legis-
laturc, a measure was adopted by
the Senate which placed ample safe
guards around every young man re-

Of those who were able to pay. This
measure was passed clearly in the

At the door Of the State College,
let us suppose, two young men are
knocking for admittance. One is
able to pay his board and actual eX-
penses; the other is not able to meet
these necessary outlays. To the
one the door is opened, and to the
other it is said: "a young man
ought not to be permitted to 60 tC

4 CARD FROM Mr.. LEITZEY.

EDITOR OBSERVER Ill justice TO
myself, l wish to say q few words
concerning the Grand Jury's report
about the Poor House.
They have misreprescnted things
in some respects as to the wretched
appearance Of the pauperS. That is
not my fault; for they come here al
most every week looking wretchcd.
1t is no new thing for paupers at a
Poor House to look so; for if they
did not look that way they would
not be received at the Poor House.
And they come worse than that. l
have received some here within two,
three and four days of their death.
L have received three here since
Christmas; one lived ~ days, aN-
other lived days and the last one
lived days. Two Of these didn't
eat q mouthful after they got here.
I would like to know Of the Grand
Jury whose fault it is shat / got Or
der5 last year to send after four diG-
fereDt paupcrs and at different tines.
IN The first case | waited TWO days
before I sent on account Of pressing
business at home. I sent-and he
WIS dead. In the second case, on
account Of some other urgent busi-
ness, l waited the same number Of
days, and then went--and he was dead.
| came 10 the conclusion that the ne
groes were just sending their poor
and feeble here to be buried; for
they were negroes. SO l waited two
or three days again and then sent for
the other two-and they were dead.
Whose fault was that? So you see
it is nothing new FOR the -paupers TO
look wretched at q poor house when
they are so near death as that.
AS TO their receiving such little
care, l have only this to say: They
are receiving all the care that q Keep
er can give such people in their condi-
ton. They get plenty to eat; or, at
least, they tell ne they do, and l have
no right to doubt it, for l go in :heir
rooms every day CT 50, and I see
plenty of bread and other things ly-
ing about on the manteI.pieces. l
haye told them often! iflheY did not
get enough to!Iet me know. l asked
them this morning if they got enough
to eat. They told me they got a
plenty.
AS for the wood to burn, l think l
can safely say l average: six loads
week to the Poor House. l hau! a
great deal Of wood to town, but that
does not interfere with my hauling
to the Poor ,Honse, for we get back
soon en6ugh evotT evening to; haul a
load ,si -
AS to- the frost-hittcn ones, | can
not think that this is my fault; for
they all have good shoes. 1t is due
to their own carelessne>s and tridiny-
ness that they are frost bitten. AS
to the committee seeing no medi-
cine, that would rot 90 to show that
they had not received any medical
attention. The committee did not
ask to sec the medicine, or they would
have seen it, for told them that d..

\ CARD FROM DR.. GLIDER.

EDITOR HERALD AND News: The
Grand Jury in their presentment to
the Court last week, in referring to
the condition of the inmates Of the
poor house used the following Ian
guage: The committee saw no med
icine or anything that would 90 to
show that they had received any
medical attention. Their sufferings
have been undoubtedly very great,
and some relief should be given
if possible. This we regret as 4
most serious matter, and should re-
ceive the Immediate attention Of this
Court or the County Commissioners.
If the physician employed for the
purpose receives pay ior visiting the
paupers he should be held strictly to
account for any dcreliction Of duty"
The above language refers to two
cases Of frost bite. AS | occupy the
position Of physician to the poor
house l propose to clear up what |
suppose must have been q misunder,
standing on the part Of the commit
tee. so far as it relates to the per-
formance Of my duty as County Ply
sician. My contract with the County
Commissioners for the present year
is to visit the poor house once every
week, oftener if necessary, or if sent
for. I have performed that duty up
to the present.
During the recent cold weather two
Of the inmates were severely frost
bitten, and their feet at present are
in very bad condition. They are
both completely broken down in con-
stitution and are Of unsound mind,
one being a confirmed epileptic. 1t
is therefore almost impossible to
keep them confined to their rooms
and the proper covering kept upon
them. At my last visit (since the
committee made their visiD | found
that one Of the cases referred to d
been out in the snow barefoOtcd.
Any reflective mind will see that this
exposure was no fault Of mine, anu
so far IS | am aware, it was the fault
Of no one.
II the statements Of these two pa
tients with djsordcred minds were
worth anything, would say that
upon inquiry they informed me that
they had suffered very little pain.
I don't think there has been time
within the last three years that there
has notbecn q supply Of medicine on
hand at the poor house, and espe-
cially something for the relief Of

that I should emphathize the state

A Sensible Craze.

1t is an apparent contradiction in
Terms to speak Of sensible craze,
but the immense popularity of
health and strength just at present
will make such q phrase permiss-
able.
For generations it has been the
proper thing in the best society for
the women to be pale and languid
wrecks, while the men were expected
to display pipe-stem legs, skinny
hands, gooseberry eyes, low fore
heads and weak-looking faces. This
fashion has been carried to such a
dangerous extreme that good health
and a sunb.owned face have been
known to bar otherwise eligible per-
sons out If society.
All this is a thing Of the past. The
reaction has come. In our large

The Republican pension plan and
its results are plainly visible. The
idea is to pour the existing surplus
and most Of the future income of
the treasury into the North and West
by system of extravagant pensions
to Federal veterans. Our shrewd
friends on the other side Of the line
have drawn from the South for their
own benefit by the rivers and harbors
and public building schemes and high
tariff for many years. These schemes
are now about exhausted, but the
pension business is good for twenty
years yet. And what are the States
lately in rebellion going to do about
it? Nothing that we can see except

a Cosmopolitan Gathering.

On Thursday afternoon, the 80 inst, there was
social gathering in the vestry of the Fort Street
Church, which exhibited better than any other the
unique and cosmopolitan character of our island
population. 1t has been called the Hawaiian
lea party as 1t was originally started for the
purpose of bringing together the Hawaiian preach
ers delegates school teachers, and their families
who assemble annually here, and to enable them
to become better acquainted with the foreign
population Mt social gathering. When first esta-
blished in lSf0-siXteen years ago-it was held at
n private residence for two three years but
since then 1t has been held in the same room as on
Thursday last. There we're perhaps one hundred
and fifty Hawaiians of the better more educated
class, with their wives, from every district of the
group, and nearly as many foreigners Their
Royal Highnesses Iiliuokalani, Likelike aud
kaiulani hOnOred the occasion with their presence.
There also Chinese, Gilbert Islanders, Ameri-
cans, Germans, English and other Europeans, all
mlngling together IN social equality around the
tea table, and allseemed to enjoy the pleasure of
becoming acquainted with associates from remoter
districts. After an hour more in discussing the
merits of the excellent Kona coffee Japan tea and
other decacies which covered the festive boards,
short hve-minute addresses were made by several
native and foreign speakers, interspersed with
singing. Among the more noteworthy addresses
were those of Messrs. Henry Waterhouse and
+. w. Damon, both of which were warmly APP
plauded. The latter lntroduoedSa Chinese colpor-
teur, and told a most pathetic story of the CON
version of the latter. This followed by the
singing of hymn in Chinese by Mrs Damon, in
the chorus of which the audience Joined, in four
languages, Chinese, Hawaiian, English and Gill
bert Island. MIR. Bingham introduced Gilbert
island family, who sang in their own dialect.
These Incidents added to the interest of the occa
sion, shows how the good influences of this an
nual gathering is extending. Certainly no other
occasion offers 50 favorable opportunity to for
eigners for judging of the improvement made by
the more educated Hawaiians; and the three
hours spent at the " tea party" Of Thursday
evening were very eniOyably passed by all who
were 50 fortunate to be present.

Knwaiehao Fema1o seminarr.

The annual examination of this institution took
place on Wednesday. at Kawaiahao Church. The
occasion drew together large audience, the body
of the church and also the galleries being well
filed. Among those present, besides the Royal
Pnncesses, we noticed some of the Mobiles and
Rapresentatives-the Legislature having received
and accepted n formal invitation. The institution
was founded nearly thirty years since, under the
care of Miss Z. Bingham, and has grown from
IL car to year, till il numbers over one hundred
pupils from five to sixteen years of age, who are
all taught in English. 1t is in charge Of Miss NJ f.
Alexander as Principal, assisted by Misses Malone,
Needham and Hopper. The exercises consisted of
Rotations in arithmetic, geography, physiology
and bible verses and singing several solos, duets
and choruses, accompanied by piano music. Es-
pecially noticeable among them we're the Kinter-
garten songs, and the classes in physiology and
oral music by class A. in the reading OF notes, a
study which is too much neglected in our schools
The pupils were all dressed IN white, and in of
the exercises, where ninety-two appeared on the
stage Mt once, they presented a beautiful sight
and indicative of the real progress which is being
made in the present generation of native Hawaii.

pupils dressed in uniform took part, was as per
