Reduced Taxes.

Governments are necessity but
they are very costly, and, as the Will.
mington Star well says, should be
made as light as possible. Taxes
crush. Federal, State, municipal
and county expenditures should he
cut down to the lowest minimum
point We notice a statement in the
Boston Post that the local govern
mcnts Of Massachusetts cost the peo-
pie the immense sum of S24 100000,
besides an interest account of IS ,500,-
900 each year. The people have not
watched Their officials as they should.
Americans are too confiding, too
trusting. Let all expenditures be
razed and where needed to the low
est point compatible with efficiency.
People arc prodigiously generous
with other peoples money. You
will find thousands who favor high
salaries and big expenditures. If
the entire sum expended by the peo.
pie for all purposes connected with
government were properly audited,
rs it shoult be, and reported, it
would stagger the ordinary mind
And yet this vast sum comes each
year out Of the peoples earnings.
Honest, economical, efficient govern
ment is the talk of politicians and
the deliverancc Of party platforms,
but where do you find it? We have
not the slightest doubt that it is pos.
sible, and without detrimcnt to the
public interest, to reduce the cxpcn.
ditures Of the Federal, State, county
and municipal Governments Of the
United States hundreds of millions
Of dollars. What vast saving this
would be. Think Of this great sum
being saved tC the people through a
decade or a score Of years. I: would
make Il country rich, this saving
alone. But how is this saving to oc-
cur? Not until the whole people de-
tcrmnc to bring IL about. Not un.
til they cease to eject men to office
who arc extravaGant and wasteful
and very liberal in cNpcnding other
peoples money. The expenditures
Of the Federal Government would be
reduced $50,000,000 if the prudent
faithful, frugal men Of fifty years ago
were now at the hclm.-Orangcbwy

Tho Professor Writes to Il Citizen Of
Columbia.

The following letter from Prof.
Virgins, the Canadian mctcorologist.
was received last night by Mr.. Eugene
Cramer, the Lessee and Manager of
the Columbia Opera House:
OTTAWA, 10th September, 1886.

c., u s:
DEAR SIR: l have just received
your favor Of the 1lth, enclosing the
Associated Press dispach-at least |
suppose it to be so-from Ottawa re-
garding my prediction Of tho recent
earthquake in your State.
1t certainly gives me great pain
that this dispatch should have caused
apanic among your people, rs the oh:
ject of my researches has been to
forewarn of danger and thus assuage
and, il possible, prevent human
suffering. In fact, hes;tatcd for
Il week before making my report to
the Canadian Minister Of Marine,
for fear Of alarming the people Of the
Southern States and California; and
I regret now that any announcement
was made till after the Doth inst, fer
unlike n great storm the disasters Of
an earthquake cannot be avoided.
/ knew the earthquake force would
cross North America on the goth Of
August ten degrees North Of the
Tropic of Cancer. But this wave
has moved Eastward, and, therefore,
cannot further produce dis" stcr on
your meridian, though slight shocks
may yet be felt on account Of the
displaced particles rcsum;ng their
normal condition.
The greatest strain will occur on
the 29th inst, but it will pass few
degrees farther South. After that
date l can perceive no dan ger North
Of the equator-at least East Of the
Rocky Mountains. | fully intended
being in Charleston on that day, but
find / will be unable. | may add
that the Goth will be remarkable for
Il great storm over the North and
South Atlantic as predicted in the
New York Tribune May 10, 1881.
Very sincerely yours,

Luther a. Ransom.

Mr.. Luther A. Ransom has done
much valuable work for this paper
rs q correspondent. We highly ap.
prcciate his services and greatly cs.
TEEN him personally. He is incapa-
BILE Of any treachery to friend or foe.
We have always found him truthful,
reliable and anxious to be right on
all subjects. The statistical and other
information about the up.counlry Of
South Carolina, in our Sunday cdi-
tion. was his work, which all must
highly commend.
1T is rcgrctful that there should be
any cause Of bitterness between such
n man as Mr.. Ransom and Mr.. B. r..
Tillman. We can testify tAst Mr..
Ransom was perhaps the very first
newspaper correspondent to give Mr..
Tillman wide and complimentary
notices. Mr.. Ransom persisted in
this commendation, while Mr.. Till
man was ticrccly assailing the Dc.

Mr.. Tillman will regret his assault

Marrying men to reform thcm has
never been Il successful enterprise on
the part Of women. Girls are worth
too much unmarried to sacrifice Them
selves to beat sense into the head of
any man on Gods iUotst0ol. Such
q man does not wcan SO easily rs Il
calf. lie will go home only to sober
up, and then not Till the other places
are closed. a girl will marry such Il
man, hoping that ON next year he
will be better; but the next year he
will be worse. There are sober boys
enough for all the girls; and there is
Pho need for marrying Il hrunkarl.-
NeW York San.
Last week, III our editorial columns
we gave expression to an opinion ON
this subject, based upon our obscrva-
ton and upon what we have heard
and read Of.
Since then we find in al exchange
the above extract from the New
York Sun, which gives substantially
the same opinion rs We did.
From every source the testimony
Of history and experience points,
with the most uncrring cXactncSs, in
but one direction on this point.
And all this vast accumulation
Of evidence proves beyond the sem
blancc Of shadow Of a doubt that
the business OF marrying men to re-
form them is failure. This is no
mere idle fancy, but one Of the sad.
dcst Of truths.
Will our girls take heed ? In this
broad land to-day, how many women
there be, the light Of whose eyes is
gone, the fountain springs Of whose
life arc dried up, and over the dark
portraits Of whose hearts grim sor.
row sits, while they are clothed in
despair, because they married men
to reform them aud have failed.
These womcn-martyrs-. bear their
grief in silence, as on y women can,
because upon the altar they have
placed themselves, and most fearful
has been the sacrifice.
We arc pleading now for the high,
est and best interests Of our South.
ern girls, and We say to them in all
the carnesthcss Of which we are ca,
pablc, put no faith in that man who
promises before marriage that he will
reform. lie will not do it. lie may
make show of doing SO for time,
but the chances are that after mar,
riage he will be worse than before.
Let no girl who values her own
happiness, marry drinking man
with the hope Of reforming him, for
disappointment, sorrow and broken
heart will be her portion if she does
The girl who marrics u drinking
man may safely calculate on having
a drinking, if not a drunken husband
as long as they both shall live
These are words Of truth. Will the
girls be warned ? Will they ?--S"m
