GOVERNOR TILLMAN,
Of South Carolina, Discusses the
Race Problem.
HE TAKES ISSUE WITH JEFFERSON
Aud Says all Men are not Created Equal
Domination of the Whites-The
Farmers Alliance.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 4.-Governor-elect
b. G. Tillman, elected on the reform ticket
composed of Farmers alliance and other
democrats who wanted change of govern
ment, was inaugurated to-day in the pres
ence of crowd from all parts of the state
In his inaugural he referred to the national
Democratic party In regard to the cleo
ton IN his own state, ne said; ut is graf
lying TO note the fact that this was at
tended by a political phenomenon which
was surprise to all Of us. Our colored
fellow citizens absolutely refused to be led
to the polls by their bosses. When it is
clearly shown that the majority of our col
ored voters are no longer lmbued with Re-
publican ideas, the veXed negro problem
will be solved and the fear of a return OF
negro domination will haunt US no more.
Can L not pledge in your behalf that we
white men of South Carolina stand ready
and willing to listen kindly to all reason
able complaints; to grant all just rights
and safe privileges to those colored people,
and guarantee fair treatment at our handsi
I'VE whites have absolute control of the
state government and we intend to retain
1t. The intelligent exercise of the right of
suffrage at once the highest privilege and
most sacred duty Of the citizen, is beyond
| the capacity of the vast majority of
colored man. We deny that All men are
created equal 1t is not true now and it
was not when Jefferson wrote it. But we
cannot deny it is our duty as the governing
power in South Carolina to insure to in
dividuals, black and white, the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.'p
| IL is now believed that Senator Hampton
will be defeated by Irley, the Tillman can
dldate for United States Senator.

THE COUNTY SEAT
War Between Mountain Home
and Rocky Bar.
JUDGE STOCKSLAGER DECIDES
The. Chief Justice Beatty Had No Right to Is
sue the Nandamus-Fatal Railway
Accident

BELLEVUE, Idaho, Dec. Especial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. AT HALEY today
Judge Stockslager, of the Second judicial
district, rendered decision in the man
damus suit brought by the Mountain Home
people, compelling the county commission
ers of Elmore county to remove the county
seat from Rocky Bar to Mountain Home
The writ was issued by Chief Justice
Beatty under the old territorial regime,
being returnable before Judge Stockslager,
the newly elected judge under the state
constitution. The latter to-day decided
that Judge Beatty had no right to issue the
writ as he had been legislated out Of office.
The decision is not necessarily adverse to
the claims of Mountain Home, only the
people Of that town will have to commence
suit over again when the court clerks for
Elmore county have bern appointed in
January.
Attorney General Roberts has decided
that the county officers recently elected had
but thirty days in which to qualify, al
though they were not to take Office till the
first Monday in January. Alturas county
and state generally, oficers-elect have
failed to qualify within thirty days, and in
the light of the attorney generals decision
they don't know where they stand. These
technicaiities are embarrassing to all con
cerned, but gratifying to lawyers in ques
of fees.

Death of e Dunbar Price.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. A private dis
patch received here today announces the
death in New York of E. Dunbar Price,
whose wealth and extravaganza made him
well known in this country and Europe
Price was born in this city in 1853, and by
the death of his grandfather in 1877 he
inherited an income of $4,000. year
after he launched into wild extravaganza,
one of his fancies being racing stable.
In 1881 he married Miss Sarah G. Burton,
but in a few months she returned to her
fathers home. A reconciliation was after
wards effected, but in 1886 they separa ted
Finally, in 1888, the wife filed
bill to compel the payment of a
monthly allowance of $500 which Price had
promised her. He paid this up to about q
year ago, since when he refused to pay any
more, and another suit is now pending.
BY the terms of the grandfather's will the
income of about half the estate will pass tc
charitable institutions.
Prices lawyer said today the young mar
executed will nearly two years ago, de
vising all the property he might be pos
sessed of to a young woman named Polly
Booker, who has been his companion fol
the past few years. The death of Price
removes all claims of his widow on hi:
estate, there being no issue.

A Blast Furnace accident,

JOLIET, H., Dec. A terrible accident
occurred at the Illinois Steel company's
works to-cay. A blast furnace, which had
been blown out for repairs, suddenly fell to
the ground without warning. Eleven men
were at work inside and six on top when
the accident happened. The masonry
work and furnace Innings were piled upon
each other in confused heap, mingling
with the dead and dying workmen. Rela-
tives of the unfortunate men quickly gath
cred about the scene of.disaster, and urged
the rescuers to renewed efforts. Within
half an hour the men had taken out eight
bodies. Five of the unfortunates were
dead and the other three apparently fatally
injured. The killed were: Gus Loos, Nels
Larson, John Peterson, Theodore Larson
and Salts Nevench. The fatully injured
were: Pat Killien, Peter Erickson and
August Swanson.

Aforementioned MiIler's Annual Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Attorney- General
Miller in his annual report says vigilant eff
forts have been made to enforce the legis-
lation excluding Chinese immigration. BY
the cooperation OF the treasury depart
ment it is believed most attempts to cross
the border have been frustrated, as have
attempts to bring Chinese directly through
to ports of the United States upon the Pa
cific.
In regard to the reorganization of the ju-
dietary, it is earnestly hoped the legislation
now far advanced will not be permitted to
fail. In regard to the difficulty of enforc-
ing the law, the attorney general says:
1.-THE enforcement of the internal revenue
! laws and United States election laws is
particularly resisted. Several assassina-
tons of officers, with the purpose of i'm
peding the execution of the laws and or
| ders of the United States, occurred during
the past year. Within the last ten days
deputy marshal attempting to serve
warrant for the arrest of a man
| for violating the postal law, was shot and
| instantly killed by the man sought to be
arrested, and on the preliminary eXamina-
| zion before magistrate of the state, the
prisoner was promptly discharged. 1t is
certainly an anomaly in government that
! those who have committed murders for the
purpose of stopping prosecution in the
federal courts should not only not be
punished but not even be put upon trial in
the state courts. So long as persons who
kill officers, witnesses, or jurors, for the
purpose of escaping the administration of
Justice cannot be tried and punished in q
federal court as for minor offenses, the ad-
ministration of United States laws and the
laws themselves in many districts will have
little respect. The supreme court recently
decided there is peace of the
. United States 1t is the duty OF
Congress to provide by law for the
preservation of this peace everywhere
and at all times. In prosecutions for vic
lations of election laws in several districts
conviction and pleas of guilty have beer
obtained in a large humber of cases. AS ar
illustration, however, of the difficulties
, met in such prosecutions the district attor-
ney for one district reports that in a GER
tain county, number of whose citizen:
were convicted of violations of the election
l laws, the county court ordered all the fine:
and costs assessed against them in tn,
3 United States court to be paid out Of thu
4 county treasury; and in another county,
number whose citizens in like name
were convicted or pleaded guilty of sucl
D offenses in United States court, 81, 30
was actually paid out Of the county treas
: ury upon such fines and costs in rne day
9 These facts speak for themselves.

KING KALAKAUA.
He Arrives on the Charleston in San Francisco
Object of His Visit.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 4.-The United
States steamer Charleston has arrived with
King kalakaua, of Hawaii, on board. The
Charleston was met and saluted by the
Swatara. The forts in the lower bay also
fired royal salute. The King left the
Charleston in the admiral's barge late this
afternoon and was landed at the Clay street
wharf. The Charleston and Swatara again
fired royal salute as the King left the
seip. Upon arriving at the wharf he was
received by General Gibbon, commanding
the division of the Pacific, and Consul Cen
erai Mckinley, of Hawaii. a battalion of
United States cavalry was drawn up in
line. Great crowds of people surrounded
the landing place, and as the King left the
barge he bowed right and left in acknowl-
edgment of the cheers of the spectators.
King Kalakaua entered carriage and was
driven to the Palace hotel, where he held a
reception attended by Governor Water
man, Mayor Pond, representatives of com
merciai organizations and prominent citi-
zens. Colonel McF'arlan, the Kings cham
berlain, stated the King visited California
for the benefit of his health and his eyes,
which are somewhat impaired. The King
will probably remain in California five OF
six weeks, but will not go east. Princess
Lillinokalanl is regent during the Kings
absence from Hawaii.

In the House Of Commons.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The government today
introduced into the house of commons a
supplementary estimate of $4,000 for the
purpose of inquiring into the situation in
the western part of Ireland, arising from
the failure of the potato crop, and for max
preparations for relieving distress among
the inhabitants of that section.

motion that parliament vote $4,000 to pro-
vide seed potatoes for distressed land cult
vators IN Ireland, the seed potatoes not to
be given the people gratis but as loan

obtain 20 per cent discount. This was
only small part of measures to be taken
by the government to meet the impending
distress in Ireland He spoke of railways
and other public works to be undertaken.
The appropriation asked for was approved.

ALTURAS COUNTY OFFICERS ELECT
The Attorney General Renders an Opinion
that Much Alarms them.

HALEY, Idaho, Dec. 2, 1S9O.-[Special to
THE HERALD. The official opinion of At
torney General Roberts, at the capital,
carries CONSERVATION among the officers
elect of Alturas county. That officer holds
that every person who claims an office by
virtue of the October election in Idaho,
should have qualified within thirty days.
We understand that no one in Alturas
county has complied with this constitu-
tional requirement, thinking that they had
until the second Monday of January, when
they were supposed to enter upon their du-
ties as county officials. What the outcome
of this will be remains to be seen; but it
presents some interesting questions to
| legal minds, even as to the power Of leg
islature to remedy the defect or neglect.
Getting into the union involves many COM
plications, not objected to by some hold
overs,

the remedy, but he now desires to have
guarantee from the discoverer OF the huld
of his safety from fatal result. This Prof.
Koch naturally refuses to give, but advised
the grand ducal physician to attend post
mortem Of former patient and see for
himself the changes caused by the working
of the lymph and then if after this practical
observation of the effect, the physician Is
willing to risk the experiment of the inoc-
culation, Prof. Koch has promised to fur
nish the lymph required. The general
opinion is that the grand duke is too FAR
gone to stand the effects of the lymph. He
is now at Cannes and is helpless victim OF
consumption.
The patients at the Charity hospital are
greatly annoyed by the constant going and
coming of doctors who call to see them by
day and night in order to observe the eff
facts of injections of lymph. Most cases are
re-examined about twenty times day ano
the nervous condition of the patients Is
thereby greatly aggravated and there is In
| creased feveriShness
