by the people. There would then be-,
too, nm Invitation and an inducement
to the talent of the State to remain In
the ranks of the farmers. " KS
If the investigation is continued a
little further, we find the bench exer-
cisising Legislative functions through
the privilege it enjoys of Interpreting
the lave Those Interpretations are
as much respected by the Courts in the
administration Of justice as tho logis-
latlyo enactments are. Hence iE be.
comes necessary, in order to be In
formed as to any law, not only to
consult tho Act, but also the interpre-
teton thereof by the bench. Obsc,ir-
ity aud confusion are the consequences
to all except tho lawyers. There Is,
besides, this grave objection: tho
bench is the grbat legislative power Of
the State. Now, however pure and
able and patriotic our judges--aro and
nothing can he urged againt them in
reference to these qualities--this is too
much power to be placed in their
hands. a constitutional amendment
may be needed to remedy this evil, but
it should be cured. No Interpretation
by the bench that modifies, in the
slightest degree, a law, should have
authority until such modification shall
be confirmed by the Legislature.
respectfully, your friend,
IL. HAYNE MCMEEKIN.
p. S.-By the foregoing 1 do not
wish to be understood as being In
favor of oaganlzing tho farmers against
the lawyers OF any other class of people,
but simply for tho purpose of securing
a peoples government. If the lawyers
had only one.tenth of the number they
now have in tho Legislature, they
would have no right to complain.
They would in that case have q large
representation than their numbers
entitle them to.
Referring to tho deprivation of the
bench of tho legislation fupctions now
enjoyed by it, do not mean that their
duty of oxpounding the constitutional
aspect of laws should be infringed.

OUR country has hardly witnessed q
moro determined effort upon the part
Of any class of people to secure their
rights than is now in progress in the
West. The strikers in their demand
for justice have asked for nothing but
what they should have, and in fact
their demands have boon exceedingly
reasonable. Failing to secure an ad.
justment Of tl'eir grievances they have
asked for an arbitration which has
been porsistontly refused by tho tyrant
Jay Gould, who still attempts to show
that his millions are superior to labor,
and that 1t must bow tho knee in hum
BILE submission. AS direct result OF
this effort much blood has been shed,
and the probabilities are that much
moro will be she'd. While we are op-
posed to violence in any form where
there is law. there is still a period
where forbearsnce ceases to be vir-
tue.

Gladstone Outlines his Proposed Measures

Thursday was the day set apart for

appearance on his way to Parliament,

CAPTAIN McMEEKIN's LETTER.

CAPTAIN McMEEKIN's LETTER.
MAJ. II. w. WOODWARD - Dear
Fsaend: Is there any good cause for tho
complaints made by farmers from every
quarter Of the State? l feel assured
the question has received due and intol-
iigent reconsideration from you, and Isycn
ture to assume your concurrence IL
the answer. There is cause for the
complaints. Are these complaints well
directed2 1t Is manifest the cause or
causes Of grievances must be under
stood before rational efforts can be
made to remove them. The pith of
the complaints, l think, is that the
government Is Oligarchicnl. That VIC
are governed by an oligarchy Of law
yers, to the exclusion Of all other
classes, Is too plain to be denied. This
must constitute the great ground of
complaint; for am unable to perceive
that charges of corruption or malad
ministrations can be justly made. This
then being y correct statement of tho
ease who Is censurablep Assuredly,
the farmers themselves. They arc So
nearly oil, that thoy may appropriately
be called "the State", and as they are
by no means destitute Of Intelligence,
information and becoming pride, it is
singular thoY have permitted this state
of affairs to supervene. The explana-
ton seems clear and brief; poverty,
apathy and want of organization,
while, per cOntra, the lawyers, from
the character and business Of their
profession, arc organized, prepared
and watGhfnl. The claim that thev nro
ablo aud honest, believe, ia true; but
this aHgments the danger, since con-
tinued submission by tho people, IL, for
this very reason, to be apprclended,
and no people can long submit TO al
oligarchy and retain patriotism and a
proper standard of self-rc>pcct and
virtue. The whole people Of South
Caroline, the lawyers as we'll as others,
are Interested therefore, IN arrcsting

Manufacture of Holiday Cards.

The manufacture of holiday souvenirs
and cards has got TO be one of the biggest
businesses in the country. Hand painted
work is regular factory labor now. For
merly hand painted cards, plaques and
the like sold for very fair prices, and the
people who made them, generally women
and girls, earned decent livings. 1t has
got TO that pass now they have to paint
them for from ) cents to 25 cents apiece.
Some dealers, but not all by any means,
provide the materials. Cards that once
brought So retail at from Is cents up to
fifty. While handwOrk was rarity it
was in extensive demand. Now it doesn't
sell as well as the fine chrome cards.
The painting of merino, which was once
a profitable business, is also ruined by
competition. Cards for dinners that once
commanded from $40 to $50 now sell for
81 and So apiece. When they are painted
to order and introduce special hits at the
people they are intended for they bring a
little better price. Etched card are the
most fashionable at present. They are
little pictures regularly etched by artists
of repute from designs which have
a blank for a name to be written in. They
are priated on parchment or satin and
easily retail at So apiece. The fashion
now is to frame them like any other pict-
ures and so present them in grand style
for the decoration Of the walls.-Alfred
Trumble in New York News,

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue from PrOprie-
tary Medicines, no doubt has largely bene-
fitted the consumers, as well as relieving the
burden Of home manufacturers. Especially
is this the case with GREEN'S August
FlOIrcr and BOschcc's German Syrup, as
the reduction Of thrty-six cents per dozen.
has been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving One-fifth more medi-
cine in the IS cent size. The August
FIOlrer tor Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint.
and the German Syrup for Cough and
Liver troubles, have perhaps, the largest
sale of any other medicines in the world.
The advantage of increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted, in every town and viii
lage in civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain the same size.
