Cbere the Shoe Pinches.

Very many farmers and Alliances OF
South Carolina, conscious that tSomebody
somehow has been picking their pockets
and robbing them right and left, have
struck out wildly and are knocking down
and dragging out everybody: State and
county governments OF South Carolina
are honestly taxing property and eco
nomically conducting the government.
They gather in about fifty cents Of each
500 Of the peoples wealth annually.
The exasperated farmers are warning
upon visible and tangible evils, and
these the least possible. State and coun-
ty taxation signifies nothing. 1t constl-
tutes no appreciable burden. 1t lmpoV-
erishes nobody. What signifies the tax
alton of so cents year imposed upon
each 500 of the wealth Of the State,
when the unseen ravenous monster OF
tariff taxation compels every toiler Of
South Carolina who eat bread and wears
clothes to pay to the trusts at least $50
annually? Every head Of every house
hoh in South Carolina, however poor
and narrow his little farm and garden
and however humble his cabin, while
paying S5 to SO to the State. pays $50
to Quay's Trust and to Quay's pension
ing, vote-buying code. From one-half
to two-thirds Of all sums expended by
farmers. go to Quay's blessed Trusts.
For every dollar paid for iron ties and
plows, and hoes, and crockery, and tin
ware, and hats, and shoes, and blankets,
or for sugar and flour, and for women's
and mems clothes, and for medicines,
two dollars 60 into the pockets Of the
Trusts as created and protected BY the
Mckinley bill, to every one which goes
into the Treasury of the United States.

Infamous Legislation.

Idaho, with 1908 voters, and con-
stitution that dsfranchises all members
of the Mormon Church, whether Poly
gamists or not, has been admitted into
the Union on the assurance that her
congressman and two senators will be
republicans. On precisely the same
assurance Wyoming has been admitted
with lSO1O voters, male aud female, and
a constitution which gives the ballot not
only to polygamous Mormons, but to
each one of their plural wives.
At the same time New Mexico with
100000 and a school attendance of $4,000
pupils is kept out of the Union because
She can not be relied upon to elect repub-
ican senators, and for the same reason
Arizona is refused admission although
the last census credited her with double
thep opulation of Wyoming.
We agree with the Ocala, Fla, New
Capital that this is legislating for party
rather than country, and no pretext can
disguise the intent and purpose of it. 1t
is Of piece with the partisan action
which has disfranchised more than a
dozen districts in the present House
by unseating men elected by the people
and seating men defeated at the ballot

Killed His Brother with a Fork.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 29.-Char-
les T. Thompson, Il years old, residing
at No. 1920 Master street. died Saturday,
it is said, from Injuries inflicted on July
Is by his fourteen-year-old brother, Dan
iel G. Thompson.
On the day which Charles received his
wound that subsequently proved fatal,
the two brothers and another boy were
at the supper table at their home. Char
les began to tease his younger brother
about some trivial matter. and Daniel
grew very angry. The angrier he grew
the more Charles teased him, until final
lv the Younger boy threw his fork at his
brother. The fork was thrown with con-
siderable force, and striking Charles III
the thigh, penetrated the flesh deep
enough to remain sticking in the wound.
\ physician was called in who pro-
nounced the wound a trivial one, and the
next dav the boy wer5 to work as usual.
For two days after receiving the injury
Charles complained that the wound was
sore. and on Saturday it became so pam
full that he was forced to go to bed.
From that time until the following Sat
urdav the boy continued to grow worse,
when on that day he died. 1t is alleged
that his death was due from blood pols-
oning, caused by the stab from the fork.

X dispatch :roin *. Si,non,t Island,
C,s.. says: y zig game Of poker took
place here & few nights ago. The prin-
cipal players were Northerners. who
came over here from Savannah for a
day. After an hour or SO Of play. with
scarcely enough Of difference in lack to
warm up the players, a jackpot was
made, which was not opened until four
or five hands had swelled it to handsome
proportions.
Young John L. Merritt, finding three
Queens III his hand. threw in d twenty
dollar gold piece with great confidence.
.Iav Hugh Bolton examined his hand
and found pair Of jacks and the ten,
nine and seven Of diamonds, one OF the
jacks being also Of that suit. With the
alternative OF drawing to his four
flush Bolton remarked that it would
cost $50 to play, and posted the cash.
All the players threw up their hands
except Merritt, who merely saw the
rise. Mr.. Merritt took one card and
got his fourth queen. Mr.. Bolton split
his lacks. and drawing to his four flush,
took in the eight Of diamonds, making
his hand straight flush.
Mr.. Merritt casually remarked that
his hand was worth 1000 and put that
amount in the pot.
My hand is worth 5000" said Mr..
Bolton in a tone whose nervousness
caused Mr. Merritt to think that per-
haps an attempt to bluff was Ill pro-

The Electoral Vote.

1t isa good ways off yet before the
next Presidential election, but figures on
the situation are always more or less
interesting, and more so since the ad-
mission of Idaho and Wyoming into the
sisterhood of States. at the next Presl-
Dental election six new States will be
represented in the electoral college cast
ing total vote of 10. The situation will
be like this: At the last election the
electoral vote was 401, of which 233 were
cast for Harrison and 1853 for Cleveland.
The sure Republican vote was lS2, and
Harrison carried the two doubtful States
of New York and Indiana with com
bined vote of At the next election
it is safe to say that five of the SIX new
States will be Republican, and one, Mon 10,
tana, may be classed as doubtful. Ihe
sure Republican vote will thus be
increased to 1893. But the total electoral
vote will probably be 42O, making 2ll
necessary to a choice, so that, the he
publicans will be 13 short OF victory
If they carry Indiana they will have
four majority in the electoral college
Giving the Democrats all the states
they carried in 1888 and New 7 York and
Montana, they will still lack four votes
of victory. The conclusion is PLAIN
therefore, that New York c5, and In, lndlana la "a
will be pivotal States in 1892, as they wee
in 1888. with this difference, however
that the Republicans must carry one OF
the other to win, while the Democrats
must carry both. The Republicans
have thus been greatly strengthened
not only in the Senate but in the eiee,
toral college, by the admission OF the
new States. Prominent Democrats IN
Washington, however, are contide! IT not
only of being able to carry Ne" OK
but also Indiana, and are by 70 means
willing to admit that several of the old
and new States classed as surely Repub,
lican are not within the possibilities OF
Democratic control. We hope SO.

Moore, of North Carolina, says: 'For
twenty years past in every election, both
national and State, I have cast my bal
lots for the Republican party. l have
continued in the sane old course. The
time has come, however, in my Judg-
ment, when no man who lives in the
South can longer affiliate with the Re
publican party without an utter lndltfer-
ence to the well-being of the whole peo-
pie of the Southern States. The legisla-
ton of the present Congress has been
such as to convince any man of sense
that if the South does not, to man re-
sist the encroachment of the Republi-
can party upon its rights and interests
very soon we will be but provinces,
so to speak, and the general legislation
of the Republic will not apply to us"

STARTLING REVELATIONS.
The Way Votes arc Suppressed in the
Land of Wooden NutmegS.

The Baltimore Sun says the census
returns in Connecticut are telling a
plain unvarniShed tale with regard 10
political inequalities in that State that
would bring the blush Of shame to the
cheeks of the Republican leaders IN
Congress who are continually preach
ing about the South if they had not
foreotton how to blush. In 1881 the
Connecticut Republicans reorganlzed
the senatorial districts of their State IN
their own interests, but with an utter
disregard of justice and popular repre-
sentation. BY this gerrymander New
Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport were
each constituted a district. New Haven
at that time had a population of 62So2,
Hartford 42,5S3 and Bridgeport 9,l4S.
Rv the present census New Haven's
population is about $4,000, Hartford's
$1,000 and Bridgeport 4o,OOO: ct
the Twenty-third district, winch
in 1880 had population of only
1865, and which shows very low per
centage of increase under the recent
enumeration, has the same vote IN the
State Senate as New Haven with $4,000,
Hartford with $1,000 and Bridgeport
with, $4,000. Similar inequalities in
popular representation exist in all the
Senatorial districts of the State, but we
do not hear of any Republican orator
in Congress denouncing this condition
of affairs, or even suggesting that there
is anything unfair about the present
arrangement. a voter in the Twenty
third district Of Connecticut, allowing
that the population of that district has
increased to 1900, which is probably
beyond the mark. when he votes for
State Senator casts more than five bal
lots to the single ballot cast by the
voter in New Haven, nearly four votes
to one cast by the Hartford voter, and
three votes to the one cast by the
Bridgeport voter. In other words,
10000 of the population in Bridgeport
are practically disfranchised, $4,000 in
Hartford and 69,00O in New Haven.
This is all right in Connecticut, OF
course, where it keeps theSenate lnder
Republican control, but in the South
the mere improved allegation that the
negro vote is suppressed IS sufficient to
Justify the passage by the House Of
Representative of the most partisan
and extraordinary election bill that
was ever suggested in free country.
