The Quorum Question.

The programme to be pursued to
test the copstitutionality o:the trans
action CT any business by the House OF
Representatives without q quorum,
present and voting, has been sutstap
TALLY agreed upon. 1t is proposed
that Mr.. John o. Pendleton, who was
unsested by q vote Of less than a
quorum, shall make a claim upon the
treasury for the pay to become due
him as member OF the House Of Rep
re:entatives from the First Congress
sioual District of West Eergiaia. Upon
the disallowing Of this claim by the
accounting officers he will proceed to
bring suit in the Court Of Claims, and
en- 3eavor to have the case advanced
fol immediate uial, and in case Of an
adverse decision take an appeal to the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
where a motion will also be made 20
advance the case, as one affecting great
public interests. In case the hearing
IL either he Court OF Claims or the
Supreme Court OF the United States
should be very much retarded, another
plan has been suggested. Its to have
M. PendletCn bring ma2damus suit
to compel the auditing and payment
O. his salary, On tie ground that he IS
still member Of GoLgres as he could
not be unseated By less than 1nsti-
tutional majority, and that the audit
irg and payment Of his salary is a
purely ministerial act.-Washington

AN ENFIDEL'S PHILOSOPHY.

The Extraordinary Last Moments OF q
vienna University Professor.
A most remarkable deathbed scene
took place ii Vienna three weeks ago.
The hero CT it YES q young professor
at the universe y there. He was man
Of great briiiial cy and learning. His
lectures concerning the inner life of
the soul were famous among the
students, VINO visited them in crowds.
He was REGARDED by his fellow profes-
sors in the philosophical faculty as the
coming man n the department OF
Psychology Socially, also, he was @
man Of considerable prominence. he
was married into wealthy family,
ard took every opportunity to get for
his wife AID three children all the
pleasure which the gay Austrian
capitsl efor:}s. At the theatre, on the
promenade.:s.ard at the great court
balls hs Yves one Of the most familiar
figures.
Four years ago he fell i'll Of an in
durable disease, ard his physician
warned him that only radical change
from his gay mode CT life could hinder
for Short tinc the progress of the
maiady The young professor an
swered quiesIy that ne would die as q
philosopher sheuld die, without an
effort tc defer lis last day. He ate,
drank, studied, lectured, and danced
exactly as he did before the doctor
warned hia2. 4 few weeks ago he lay
/ down on his Geath bed. He read the
same books and talked of the same
| frivolous amusements as usual up to
one evening about three weeks ago.
At S O'Clock the doctor then told him
that ne would die within few hours.
The young professor discussed many
TOPICS entirely foreign to the subject
of his disappointing death with his
wife till midnight.
ST feel well, very well;," he said to
her finally, ''se well that I would ike
to drink bottle of champagne with
you before I go. Kiss me-for l may
90 while you are away-and tnen have
the wine put Ga ice." His wife obeyed.
A few minutes ltaer he took the bottle
from RE servants hand, poured out
wine for his wife and himself, emptied
his glass to her health. flung it on the
floor, and dropped back On his pillow,

A CHECK TO CHANDLER.
The President Said TO be O2poscd-to Ex-
treme Legislation for the South.

tremC Legislation lof Inc "out".
In course CT the last two or three
months the President has had numer
Gus conversations with Senators and
Representatives or the subject ot
Southern affairs. AS intimated in his
annual message, he jsin favor OF the
passage of a supplementary Federal
election law, but it is understood that
he is not willing to go to the extreme
length advocated by such malignant
de1nagogues as Chandler and others.
Any law designed to control the man
ner of elections must be formed to
meet his views; otherwise he is not
the man to sign it. 1t is not believed
he will be inclined to favor any meas
ure the effect cf which would be to in
terfere or influence in any way the 10
cal elections in the South. Mr.. Har-
rison is a strong partisan, but he has
alwas been strict c9nstructlonlst OF
of the constitution, and according to
the reports of those who have talked
with him, he finds no warrant under
existing circumstances for any at
tempted interference by Congress
with local government in the
South.
The hope and design of such men as
Chandler is to pass a measure broad
enough to make federal appointees
practically supervisors of local elec-
tions in the South. The initial step in
this programme was his presenting in
the Senate yesterday of a cooked
up" petition relative to the Arkansas
State election of 1885 There are Re-
publicans in both houses, however,
who share the opinions of the Presi
dent and will not be inclined to graf
ify Chandler's malignity. Whatever
election measure is finally passed will
in all probability be confined to regu-
lations concerning the manner of cleo
tions Of members of the House of Rep
resentatives. The idea ofthe Repub-
licans is that law can be framed the
result of which will give to them a
sufficient number of congressional dis.
tricts in the South to overbalance any
thing short of an overwhelming tidal
wave in favor OF the Democracy in the
North. The President and some 9TH
er leading Republicans think the par
ty should be satisfied with this. SUch
calculation is not sound because it is
based upon the assumption that the
entire nergo vote is to be held in per-
petual slavery by the Republican par
ty.-Ral.imore Sun,

THE ALLEGED SLATE.
Whati is saia Of ir by Oae of the. Alleged
Candidates

Whats saia Of it By One of the. Alleged
Candidates
In the News and Courier of Wednes-
day, there appeared az article purpor-
ing to give an interview with a drum
mcr, who professed to have discovered
in his travels through tie State ticket
which had been already "cut aud dried
for the March convention in Columbia.
The alleged ''slate," as far IS it goes, is
as follows:
"For Governor, Benjamin R. Till
man, of Edgefeld.
"For Lieutenant Governor, John W.
Ferguson, of Laurens.
''For Secretary of State, Il. L. Don
aldson, Of Green7ille.
"For Attorney General, Y. J. Pope,
of Newberry.
For Adjutant General, Hugh L.
Farley, Of Sp trtanburg.
For Comptroller General, E. T.
Stackhouse, of Marion.
Hon NJ. L. Donaldson, State Senator
from Greenville County, and manager of
the State Alliance Exchange. is, it will
be noticed, put on this alleged "slate of
Captain Shell' for the Office of Secretary
of State. Mr.. Donaldson was seen at his
Office 10 the Cleveland block, by a re-
porter for the Daily News yesterday.
and asked his opinion of the so-call2d
slate.
Dir. Donaldson expressed doubt as to
whether the publication, being purely
and on its face unauthoritative, should
b. noticed al all or not. The statements
attributed to the drummer" did not,
certainly, bear any evidence of f-iendli-
ness to the cause of the farmers, and
there were ear marks about The article
that might lead one to doubt that the
alleged drummer" was drummer after
all.
Speaking for himself, Mr. Donaldson
said that he knew nothing whatever OF
the estate" printed in the News and Cou-
rler He wa, at a loss to know where
the drummer obtained his in 'orma-
ton. he was not in possession of any
such information himself, nor did be
believe the information was correct. 81
am not" Mr. Donaldson said, ga candi-
date for any position on the State ticket.
My present position at the head of the
State Alliance exchange I consider a
highly honorable and responsible one
aud my time is wholly taken By it. As
to my name being on the slate for any
State Office whatever. that IS mis-
take"
Mr. Donaldson SAID that he was, of
course, thoroughly and heartily in sym
pathy with the Farmers Movement and
be was glad to see it growing among the
people. 4: the proper time, either now
or later, he was in favor of the State
ticket being put 10 tae field to represent
the purposes and principles of the Farm
ers' Movement. Who should be Ga that
ticket, he could not say and be certainly
did not know Of any ticket being ''cut
and dried for the March Convention. ,
He did not believe there was any ''slate'
at all.-Green7ille News.

Does Farming Pay?

This question is constantly asked and
always provokes discussion. Whether
farming pays, says the Columbus En-
quirer Sun, depends more on tae farmer
than anything else. Among the many
farmers in tue State who can answer the
query aGrmatively is Hon. James d.
Smith of Ogletbrcne county. H. is now
without doubt the largest and wealth

cal, common sense maa who began life

man who recently visited Ogle:h1ope
county that Col Smiths receipts from last
years operations ragged somewhere be-
tween sr5ro.o65 $ssa93,066. One big
irer4 was his crop oe 1900 bales Of COZ
ton. Besides there we're thousands Of
bushels of corn, wheat, oats, etc. Col.
Smith also runs profitably an oil mill
and fertilizer factory, to say nothing OF

president and general manager. All this
immense business vas built up by a
farmer on his farm.--Augusta Chrcni-

KILLED THE WOMEN.
4 Terrific Table of African slaves in n
Time OF Thirst.


4 letter from Zanzibar says that
over year ago caravan Of 800 Arabs
left the East Coast to SO into the ia
terror to trade. They have now re-
turned and one of the chiefs relates
their adventures. Arriving at KaViron-
do on the northeast shore Of Victoria
Nyanza,, the Arabs saw that the na-
tives had good deal of ivory and
that they had no guns. They attack
ed the tribe, and before the shooting
had gone on long the natives were
willing to do anything to make peace.
After long pala7er with the chiefs
the Arabs agreed to leave the country
upon the payment to them Of two hun
dred tusks of ivory and two hundred
young women. The natives were glad
to get rid of the enemy even or these
harG conditions. AS soon as they re-
ceived the ivory and the women the
Arabs started for the coast. Thsy had
a terrible time in the Nasal country.
There was drought and they almost
perished Of thirst. Then provisions
became scarcer AMI scarcer and the
whole party was in danger of starva-
ton. Finally the Arab chief decided
that in order to save themselves and
their livery it would be necessary to
sacrifice their female slaves, who were
very weak from their deprivations and
could march no farther.
That night all of these 200 young
women were shot 20 death, and their
bodies wers left ir the camp for beasts
cf prey. The victims happily had not
a moments warning Of their impend-
ing tats. Each murderer selected Ills
victim, and the horrible crime was ac-
complished so speedily that few OF the
women made any outcry. With their
forces thus sunmarily re lnced the
Arabs were aole to pull through the
desert region, obtaining little more
food thAn barely enough to sustain
life.
The chief who related these facts
in Zanzibar showed no compunctioas
whatever for the terrible crime n |
which he had assisted, bur he mention
ed the massacre only to give an idea
of the great loss they had sustained by
the necessary sacrifice of their 200 |
slaves. 1t is curious fact that some
