THE REPLY TO THE RESCRIPE

The Nationalist reply to the Papal rescript
is conciliatory in tone while infiexible in pur-
pose. The Vatican is warned that it has
been imposed upon by enemies OF the island
and Of the Church, and that the information
on which it has based its judgment respecting
the Plan of Campaign and combinations against
landlords can readily be traversed by the Irish
prelates and the Parliamentary representatives
Of the Catholic constituencies in the island.
The resolutions adopted by the ParnellItes
are not offensive in form. but condemn the
Intervention of the Vatican as ill-consdered
and as preiudicial to the interests OF the
Church. Monsignor Persico is dealt with as
a well-meaning foreigner whose conclusions
respecting agrarian legislation and agitation
have been vitiated by preconceptions and i'm
perfect knowledge of the facts. The action
of the Tory Government in arbitrarily reduc-
ing rents last December in thousands Of
tenancies is cited as an official justification Of
the Plan Of Campaign. This is valid argu-
ment which ought to have great weight in
securing modification of the rescript, If not
in effecting its withdrawal altogether.
The Vatican has undoubtedly been influenced
by English Catholics in intervening in the

mn, rybo IN evcnt Of contest after fve days notice
shall open said box in the presence of the Executive
Committee recount the votes and redeclae the res"i'
OF the primary.
O. That no negro shall vote IN tho next primary
Election who cannot prove by five responsible white
I.mocrats that he voted with the Democracy for
Hampton and the State ticket in 1876 and has Dech
Democrat ever since.
II will be seen that the committee TO
manage the primary election is to be composed
exclusively of "white' men; that the voters
whom il is proposed to exclude in case they
cannot stand certain absurd test are ex-
clusiyely "negro' voters; that the only tes-
timony which will be received touching pollt-
ical orthodoxy is "white" testimony. A
meaner example of race discrimination it would
be difficult to discover. Buenos Ayres could
scarcely improve upon it. These cowardiy
and una merican Democrats OF Laurens are
evidently determined that negro voters shall
have no show at the primaries. They do not
tell them to 20 tO-Buenos Ayres, but they
demonstrate to them that if they want their
rights they would do well to shake the soil
of South Carolina from their feet.
"TL News and Courier has been making
an earnest endeavor of late to turn the tide
of emigration toward South Carolina. 1t has
pointed out the advantages which Charleston
enjoys as winter resort it has written elo-
auently of the climate and manifold resources
of the State at large; it has insisted that the
State Board of Agriculture could not do
wiser thing than appropriate $1,000 to the
Southern immigration Society and thus secure
Tor South Carolina representation on the Board
of that organization. But if these and kindred
efforts are to bear good fruit, the :" white"
Democrats of the State must pursue radically
different policy toward the NEGRO" voters.
So long as the plant of equal rights for all
men does not flourish in South Carolina she
need not expect to receive an immigration
boom.

WHY THE SOUTH CAROLINA NEGRO rs
RESTLESS


"Thc Charleston News and Courier quotes
at length from the Preusa," Buenos Ayres
newspaper, for the purpose of convincing the
negroes of South Carolina that "the wisest
course for them is to stay where they aren
The colored people in question may conclude
that Buenos Ayres is not in the nature of a
promised land, but it is by no means so GER
tain that they will also make up their minds
that the best thing they can do is to grow
up with South Carolina. For in the same issue
of "The News and Courier in which Buenos
Ayres is pictured to the black man as a good
country not to emigrate to, South Carolina is
shown to be pretty good State for the black
man to emigrate FROM
If the black man goes to Buenos Ayres, he
will have an extremely cold shoulder given
him. He will be treated as if he were by no
means as good as white man. He will be-
crowded to the wall. All this the "Preusa,,
makes sufficiently clear. But how about South
Carolina? Is its attitude toward the black
man essentially better than this? "The News
and Courier prints without a word Of dissent
a series of resolutions which were adopted al
Democratic convention lately held at Laurcns.
Here are two of these resolutions:
Resolved. That tho County Executive Commits,
shall appoint five white men known to bo honest and
fair Democrats since the war, not excluding young
white men who have attained their majority since
1876 who shall act as managers the coming primary
election three OF whom shall read each ticket voted
and the other two shall keep correct roll OF the
NAMES Of voters. Tho said board of managers shall
place said roll within the ballot box with the tckets
seal up same and return the box to the county chair

lNnNYMOES LETTERS

rbere is an important question at stake in
the controversy that has broken out over the
,o-election of Superintendent Jasper, which Is
o,;to distinct from that of his own capabilty
and fitness. 1t was stated by member OF
the Board of Education, as ground OF as
satisfaction with him. that he had 1alled 10
investigate charges of immortality brought
AGAINST one of the women teaching In the
nnblic schools, these charges having been
made in anonymous letters. The obvious IN
ference is that it is the duty of man In Mr.
Jaspers position to investigate charges against
his subordinates conveyed in such letters
We protest against such doctrine as having
neither iustice nor common sense to sustain it.
1bo writer of ANONYMOUS letters is the meanest
of all the assassins of reputation. such
letter is presumptively lie, because the per-
son who will write one, attacking the character
Of another. would hardly hesitate to do any
mean or wicked action. 1t should be the
universal rule to disregard such communlca-
tions as necessarily malicious and probably
false and it should be understood that this
is the rule If the policy laid down the other
dav in the meeting of the Board is to be re-
garded as approved every one OF the army
of good women who are engaged IN teaching
in our schools will be at the mercy OF any
wicked person of either sex who may choose
to make a scandal about her. Ihis would De

letter should always be kicked out OF court.

Two decisions that the Third-ave. surface
railroad conpany will regard as serious blows
we're given by the General Term YESTERDAY
One affirms the big judgments, amounting 10
nearly 500, 600, obtained by the city Tor IN
paid license fees on tie company's cars Inc
other is of more general interest. IL reistes
10 the plan to substitute cables for horsepower
ON the Third-ave. line. Under this decision
tbe substitution cannot be made. III is helo
that the company's original franchise 1orDade
the use of steam in any form. and hence
cable moved by steam power cannot De USED
This is of course. a strict construction OF the
terms of the franchise, and one that probably
will not be looked on by the public with marked
favor That the cable is preferable to horses
as a motive power for street-cars is generally
conceded, and it will be regretted that any
obstacle is found in the way of an improved
system when company has resolved to render
the public better service than it has been
giving them.
The General Term of the Supreme Court
has come to the relief of Broadway IN
manner that must give keen satisfaction to
everybody who is interested in keeping that
street free from the encroachment OF an
elevated railroad Some time ago Justice
Donohue directed commission to determine
the amount of compensation to be paid to the
city by the Metropolitan Transit Company
for the use of certain streets, chief OF which
was Broadway. That order is now reversed
ON grounds so comprehensive that the General
Terms decision ought to put an end to TINS
intolerable scheme. The opinion is written
by Justice Nlacomber, who holds that testl-
mony regarding the companys lack Of good
faith was improperly excluded, and that the
attempt to grab Broadway for branch" Oh
the company's road would be in contrayenuon
of the Constitution Of the State. ms oe-
cision clears the air and furnishes room Tor
the hope that our great business thorough
fare will be preserved from such an outrageous
invasion as the construction of an elevated
railway.

While the loss of life from the great flood
in the Mississippi Valley is not great thus Iar'
the destruction of crops and property has been
immense and hundreds of families have been
rendered homeless The water is now higher

prospect of immediate relief. 1t is probable
that the needs of the people will cause de-

eminent specialist. The precise nature OF the

Mr.. Roger Q. Mills acted in petulant and

the Texans mind. But Major Mckinley and
