Tillman's Speech.

Many of our citizens have read Tillman's
Inaugural Address, and everybody Is talking
about it. II is more conservative than 1t was
expected TO be.
The address is from the leader in the move
ment for "entrenchment and REFORM" but II
there is any entrenchment in 1t, we fail to see
It..
He has mapped out big amount of work
for the legislature. and though much Of 1t Is
good and desirable, yet the results which he
hopes TO bring about must cost money.
In various places he suggests gooG places
and favorable holes in which the peoples
money may be deposited, without his being
allowed to draw on 1t.
One singular and remarkable thing in ali
that long document is the fact, that the Gov
ernor did not find single department ofthe'
Government, or act, singly or collectively. OF
the public officers which commended itself to
his favorable attention.
He proposes to tear up the present Govern
ment, and It's admirable constitution, and do
the work so thoroughly that there might not
remain q trace or remembrance Of govern.
ment so vile as our own.
In saying this, We would also say, that we
are glad that the Governor did not 90 out oil
his way 10 create new antagonisms.

The Removal OF ErsIk In College.

(The following appeared as oil editorial In
the Yorkville Enterprise and is published as
a contribution TO the discussion on the re-
moval of the college. j. L. c.
the proposed removal OF Erskine College from
Due West TO Rock Hill. and the circular let
ter recently published has acted like bomb
shell on our friends Of that county. Indeed,
heads:a column article'upon It's removal with
such flaming headlines as "Startling Pro-
position-Are we TO be the Victims Of an
Eight to Seven Commission Has Anybody
Mountain? The Question Now Is VIII Any
body Yield to the Tempter. Destroy Our Con-
f1dence and Tear Down Our College,"
70 read this as we'll rs the other numerous
articles on the subjecr one would hardly
think that any person outside Of Due West
or Abbeville County has contributed any
thing to the institution or should have any
voice in It's government. Are 1--WE" TO be the
yictems, ETC., will anybody betrny "our' con-
tidence. and tear down "our" college, etc. We
had been under the impression that the in
churcH and no, the speeal property % W of Tn any
section or portion of the Church. II was by
the united effort Of the whole Synod that IT
was organized and has since been supported
Its endowment was raised from the whole
Church, and II we are correctly Informed.
more money has been contributed TO II by
people outside Of Abbeville County til an by
those In the county. This Is not the special
seems there Is no questioning the fact that
the Institution has not grown and prospered
during tho past fifteen years proportlonate
ly with the Church. ! 1877 there were four
teen graduates, the following year there were
fourteen, and we believe there has not been
80 large number since, the average being
only little more than half that number.
The attendance has not increased rs IL should
have done, as we are. reliably informed it Is
no greater than 1t was fifteen years ago.
True, members do no not make an lnstitu-
tion, but 1t is pretty fair index of Its growth
and prosperity. II thesi then be facts 1t
would seem that 1t was time the church was
seeking location which offered a field for
greater usefulness.
o ur frie ends claim they will fight its remov-
al by all means know to The civil and eccles-
iastical law. Is this showing the proper
Christian spirit? Should majority decide
upon its removal such action on their part
would be little less than rebellion.
The Board OF Trustees wIf.Sh meets on the
10th of December, In our judgment should
not finally decide upon It's removal but
should refer the whole matter with such re-
concentrations as they may see proper to
the Synod which meets in 1891. II Is too
much responsibility to lake, and beside, I'll e
whole matter should be carefully and dellD.
erately weighed before any action Is taken.

Legislation.

Saturday, December 6.-The concur
rent resolutions concerning the use OF
the State House for balls and other
merely social purposes was passed;
also the bill providing for the election
of a Chaplain for the Senate and the
House of Representatives. A bill OF
importance is that relating to the as
sessments and taxation of property !;
also one against gambling and to pro-
hibit the express companies in the
State from handling lottery matter in
any shape; also bill to regulate the
granting Of divorces; bill to tax the
railroads, $50O,OOO to each County
through which road runs.
Senate, December GA bill was Of
fered to authorize r. w. Simpson,
trustee Of the Clemson bequest, to pay
over to Isabella Lee SIS, 900, in accor-
dance with the recommendations OF
the trustees of Clemson College.
The bill to repeal the provision Of
the Act compensating managers and
clerks of elections came from the COM
mittee with an unfsvorable report, and
was finally killed.

Not Hearers Only, but Also Doors.

Religion applied in the force which
makes itself felt among all, even those
who care little or nothing for doctrines.
Those not religiously educated know
little of fine spun theory or wei
constructed theology and care less, but
a hungry man understands the gift of
loaf and kind word, the tattered
beggar child is won by smile and the
gift of warm coat. If some good
man would take the place of that tired
street car driver who has already fin
ished his six days work, the latter
might be less severely critical of those
"Christian people that say it is a sin
to run the street cars on Sunday but
who ride all the same" The thought
is suggestive of the recent act reported
of young girl of wealth who, in Or
der to give poor sewing girl a holi-
day took her place at the machine and
did her work faithfully, thus retaining
for the tired worker the situation on
which her bread depended. If the re-
cipient of the noble kindness live o
hundred years she could not forget the
act +; the most beautiful thought Offer
ed for her minds consolation 'unac-
companied by applied religion would
be lost probably in the crowding anx-
ieties of her laborious days.
The question of Sunday railway
trains, of the Sunday opening of gal
leries of art, and of similar places of
instruction and quiet diversion is one
not to be settled with word. There
is no sin in these things of themselves.
Let some true lover of his kind take
the place Of the regular worker and
give him day off, allowing him time
to make acquaintance with the chill
dren he usually leaves asleep when he
goes to his work and finds asleep on
his return. There is no more "sin" in
a railway train per Sc, or in a livery
stable hack than in your own private
equipage, the wrong lies in making
men work seven days in the week and
in the incidental evil of unnecessary
travel. The train which bears the
man of pleasure may also convey the
minister of the gospel on his mission,
or the physician on his way to relieve
suffering humanity, or parent to a
dying child.
Help your neighbor, that is the best
testimony the world desires of the
soundness of your religious profess
sions. DO.

The Legislature.

General Assembly has now been in session
for two weeks. Up TO this time but little has
been accomplished, except the killing ofsome
Objectionable bills.
AS usual, somebody has introduced divorce
bill, and the killing OF such bill has been
the end OF all such efforts. AS soldiers in the
Lost cause enlisted for three years or during
the war, so shonld the marriage be regulated.
The ceremonies should bind the parties for
one. two, three, or more years, or during
good behavior. If marriages we're entered
Into by the year, there would be no use for q
divorce law. If people are married and d.
vorced at pleasure there will be little sancti-
ty attached to the most vital act that was
ever instituted.

While We really see no reason at all for al
lowing any part of the license fees to go into
the treasury Of the town, yet in respect TO an
old custom and by way Of compromise and
to keep down hard feelings, we think that If
licenses are TO be granted that the county
might be satisfied with $40, and then let the
town have so.
Besides the $50 thus given TO the town, the
town realizes large sums every year by roll
lecting fines from drunken men. 1.-THE ,'wn
nakeS that much 1t seems that we ought to
be satisfied, In counting the license fees the
fines for drunkenness should not he lost sight
of. They ore an important Item. and should
be all that the town should make at the bnsi-
ness.
