Where Sam Randall Stands.

ri see Mr.. Randall is reported as ia.
vofing a reduction of the tariff" said
General Negley, the Pittsburg Congress
man at the Hoffman House. "1t does
not surprise me any. | have always
thought that Mr.. Randall was a Protec-
ZIONIST more from policy than from prin-
ciple. He lives in a protection district,
and has been contending against the
natural bent of the Democratic party for
years. As party the Democrats are
confirmed Free Traders. think Mr.
Randall sees that the time has arrived
when he can no longer oppose the Free
Ira tide in his party and remain in it.
If he opposed q reduction in the tariff
this Winter lie might be forced to go
over to the Republicans, but being at
heart a Free Trader, he finds it more
convenient to remain with the Demo.
cratic party. l am glad Of it. He will
now be compelled to throw of the mask
of hypocrisy. No Protectiouist has any
business in the Democratic party. What
of the effect of his change on his dis
trict? That will depend on how far he
goes in advocating reduction of the tariff.
But if he is bidding for the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency he may
go half way this year in order to make
his reelection to Congress assured, and
completely over at the next session pre-
ceding the conventions of 1888. MIR.
Randall is very shrewd statesman."-

Cleveland Not to Be Bullied.

WASHINGTON, February 6.-The San
day Cdpital will tomorrow say:
We are very glad to know and to be
able to state, on sufficient authority, that
President Cleveland does not purpose to
reorganize his Cabinet at the instance Of
Mr.. Roscoe Conklipg and the Bell Tele-
phone Company. These people, who are
able to control two large newspapers that
have long been seeking to find a weak
spot in the breastworks of the reform
Administration, have seized upon the
ridiculous Pan Electric Telephone affair
as material for very loud demonstration
against two members of the Cabinet.
Mr.. Conkling, who, as the paid counsel
of the Bell Telephone Company, is now
directing the attacks that are being made
in New York has evidently persuaded
his newspaper assistants that they eau
break up the Cabinet and thereby prove
to the world that Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer and
Mr.. Charles A. Dana are more influential
Democrats than Grover Cleveland.
While the vanity of these gentlemen is
thus utilized by the attorney for the Bell
Company the managers of the latter evi
IDENTITY believe that Mr.. Cleveland can be
scared out of his purpose of authorizing
suit to test the validity Of the Bell
patents. But they are wofully mistaken.
When will the people get the silly idea
out of their heads that Mr.. Cleveland is
man who can be bullied or frightened? ?
The extraordinary tactics that have been
pursued in this affair have simply result
ed in convincing the President that it is
of the utmost importance to secure the
proposed legal test Of the great telephone
patents, and the whole power Of the
Administration will be exerted, if need
be, to secure this result. The Bell Tele-
phone Company has not money enough,
nor has Mr.. Roscoe Conkling sufficient
newspaper mud power in New York to
prevent justice from being done in this
matter; nor can they weaken in the
slightest degree the status of MIR. Garland
or Mr.. Lamar rs members of Mr.. Cleve-
lands Cabinet
Solicitor General Goode, who has been
specially designated to conduct the suit
against the Bell Telephone Company to
test the validity of their patent, has
secured the services of the following
named gentlemen as special counsel to
assist in the prosecution OF the suit:
Hon. A. G. Thurman of Ohio, Grosvenor
D. Lowery of New York, who is a speci
alist in electrical matters, Eppa Hunter
and jeff Chandler, Washington, ID. G.,
G. S. Whitman, patent attorney, Wash
ington. The suit will be filed as soon
as the solicitor general shall have had an
opportunity to consult with the assistants
in regard to the bill, which is now in
course Of preparation at the department
of justice. The place where the suit
shall be instituted will not be decided
upon until all the papers in the case are
ready. The Acknowledgement has posi-
lively declined to have anything what
ever to do with The case. Judge Goole
says the case will be promptly and vigor
ously prosecuted, and with fairness TO all
the parties concerned.

disbursement also of an amount equal to
one-ffth of all the taxes of the State
government practically under their
control The opportunity for direct
corruption on the part cf the school
Commissioners is perhaps not so great as
with the County Commissioners, but the
waste and inexpedient management of
the school funds, which are possible
under an incompetent or dishonest or
even inefficient School Commissioner,
are subjects demanding the careful con-
sideration of the public. Then the
Senators and Representatives elected
from the separate Counties compose the
Legislature, and have absolute control of
the expenditure of every cent of the
money collected for taxes which is not
expended under the supervision of the
County Commissioners and School
/ Commissioners. It will be seen, there.
fore, that while it is important to secure
none but efficient, capable and honorable
men for the positions on our State ticket
the best safeguard against extravaganza,
corruption and financial mismanagement
lies in the election of our best and most
reliable and intelligent men to the
positions of County Commissioners,
School Commissioners aud Legislators.
These are the positions which levy the
taxes, and provide for the disbursement
of the moneys. Now, we think govern
ment should be run just MS any other
Legitimate business is conducted. None
but competent men should ever be chosen
for any position under the government,
and when men are recognized and proven
to be faithful aud competent for the
trusts imposed upon them, they should
not be turned out simply to try some
other fellow, to see if he will prove COM
petent and faithful. Instead of crying
out for new deal, without rhyme or
reason, We would like to see the public
sentiment Of South Carolina, from the
mountains to tho coast, unitei in demand
for The nomination Of the best man who
offers for every place in the gift of the
peeple-from the Govern orship down to
Corone without reference to whether
be is in Office or out of it. The fact that
q man is in Office ought not to give him
an advantage, neither ought it to preju.
dice him in canvass, except inyso far as
| it may have saown his merits or demerits
Let us all unite to raise the standard of
public Office in South Carolina to the
point at which merit, and not prejudice,
shall controlin securing our nominations.

The Woman Sufragists will hold
their annual session in Washington on
the 18th, 18th and 10 of February. They
have found new and able champion in
Mr.. Reed of Maine, the leader on the
Republican side. The members of the
woman suffrage movement don't seem to
realize the entire willingness of Congress
to yield them suffrage if only there was
a genuine desire expressed by the women
of the country. Even Senator Edmunds
said on the floor of the Senate few
weeks ago that although he doubted its
wisdom and had never advocated it, yet
he would vote for it if there ever came
to be anything like general demand.
