THE DIFFERENCE.

The writer spent the part OF day
last weekin the growing little city OF
Sumter. The time We had there was
limited and we dlG not have an oppor-
tunity to see much of the city. We
had the pleasure however OF meeting
two former Newberriaus, the Rev. r.
T. Hodges. the pastor Of the Methodist
church st that place, and his sister, Miss
Helen Hodges. They are we'll pleased
with Sumter and the city seems to
agree with them.
1t was only about Il year ago that
Newberry was discussing the advlsa-
bility and the practicability Of putting
in an electric light plant for the light
ing of our streets and dwellings. About
the same time the matter of an electric
light plant for Sumter was being dis
aoo are aoour The tie ssiiiIs Szr The t~o toMhs
The difference in regard to this en-
terprise is that Sumter is lighted by
electricity, has her plant built and in
fine trim, and every one is delighted.
Newberry has almost forgotten that
such thing was ever talked here.
The little talk that we had in New
berry about electric lights was thought
to be much. ado about nothing" and
50 the matter ended and still stands,
and the old kerosene lamp post still
makes our streets gloomy.
Sumter is getting 10 be quite q rail-
road centre also. 1t IS a very pretty
little city. We regret that we did not
have more time tospend there.

Trying to Govern South Carolina from
Boston.
| News ard Courier.

WASHINGTON, March - Edwin
Dudley, who has been here for several
days trying to patch up compromise
between the Independents and the
regular Republicans of South Carolin.,
has returned to Boston in disgust.
It was Dudley who proposed that f.
VI. Brayton should retire either from
the craftsmanship Of the State commit
tee or membership on the national
committee in favor of an independent
Brayton refused to act upon Dudley's
suggestion and also declined to enter
tain any proposition locking to COM
promise between the Independents
and the regulars.
Dudley, it appears, represents GER
tain element in the State Of Massachu-
setts that aspires to get control of the
district now represented in Congress by
Judge Cothran. The object of the at
tempted compromise was to unite the
Republican forces in that district in be-
half Of w. W. Russell.
Dudley declared before leaving for
Boston that he would have ample
means to conduct campaign for Rus
sell without any assistance from the
regulars.

After the examination OF Moorman
several other witnesses were put upon

replies were of any Importance save
that of Field Marshall Pagan, who
contradicted the testimony OF the ne
gro boy, j. w. Ward. The contradic-
ton amounted to nothing; as the ami,

When all the testimony had been

Col. James l.. Orr for the prosecution,

THE SURPLUS.

Before the present administration
got charge OF affairs the surplus III the
United States Treasury was thing
that caused considerable alarm. 1t Is
no longer matter OF grave concern,
in fact it is beginning to be but myth
or thing that was.
It IS stated that the appropriations
that the Republicans have now mapped
out will consume the entire surplus.
Some are even opposing au appropEia-
ton TO the worlds fair OF 1892 on the
ground that SlO0, 600, ,0d0 will be neces-
sary to meet the extraordinary eX-
penses: 400 millions must be appro-
priated for dependent pensions; ~
millions 4 year fer rivers and harbors,
the same amount for public buildings,
as much more for navy, and a like
sun for coast defenseS. - millions q
year for 4 postal telegraph, 10 millions
u wear for education, not to mention
steamship SUBSIDIES" and 50 it gees,
and the surplus is expected to De gone
The Atlanta Constitution quotes
from the Springfield Republican on
this subject which says:
The Republican party is committed
bv its platform, Presidents message,
cabinet reports and recommendations,
and bills already framed by leaders, to
schemes involving the spending OF
from $1,000 900 to $3.50, 100000 above
the present cost of running the govern
ment; and it is also committed to plans
to extinguish the surplus, on which
these schemes are based, by a reduction
of the revenues. 1t is manlfestly M
possible to meet an expense OF S2no,-
00O, 600 with surplus Of Sl00, ,oOo,0O0; II
is still more impossible to meet such
an expense with no surplus. AS mat
ter Of fact, and we speak advisediy,
there has never existed a man or party
which could make either zero or
500, 100000 equal to S2OO,0",Wm OF
$500 900. The Republicans think
they can solve that problem, and Mr.
Morse follows up 10 the point OF be,
lieying that zero can be made to equal
$500 G00,W but not a dollar more.
The country awaits the result with
interest-and it will keep a sharp eye
on the principal. :"

The Newberry Postmastership.
To the Editor Of The Herald and

To the Editor of The Herald and
News:
Learning that certain notices have
appeared in the papers during my ab-
sence to the effect that l was ''looklng
after the appointment Of postmaster
at Newberry, l would ask space to cor
rect such an idea. To look after the
Newberry postoffice was no part OF the
object of MY visit to Washington. L
have thus far kept out Of the unseemly
scramble for that position, and expect
to continue to do so. But being on the
ground, and the Washington cores
pondent of one Of the Charleston pa
pers having stated that the Postmaster
General had given out that MIR. Nc
man would not be commissioned, /
thought it might be advisable for me
70 see Mr.. Wanamaker in case this
statement were true. After one or
two failures TO find him in i succeeded
in getting an interview. ! began by
assuring him that had not come to
ask or suggest anything. But that
being i Republican from Newberry, a
pace that had seemed to give him some
trouble in the selection Of a postmaster,
