TERRELL AND TlLLMAN.
President Stokes Says that their Debate
Must take Place in Secret.
TCottou Plant, 4th.

In its issue of June 50 reporter for
the News and Courier represents
Governor Tillman as talking about his
proposed debate with Colonel Terrell
before the Sta e Alliance. The governor
is represented as saying be expected the
debate to be in public.
The reporter has evidently misunder-
stood the governor This is evident for
several reasons.
l. The governor is an alliance man,
and knows that the alliance never
stuitifies itself by putting up two OF Its
members TO wranyle over its plans and
policies in public. The challenge was
TO debate the question before the State
Alliance, which sits with closed doors.
,. The governor certainly knows, II
he has kept up his general reading
even, that the Ocala demands have
been adopted by more than one State
Alliance, as the reporter makes him
say. He should know, as every reading
non-alliance man knows, that the sub
treasury plan was adopted by our State
Alliance last year; and by every State
Alliance that has taken action-on.y
one, so for, having failed to take ac-
ton. :,
5. Besides, the governor was ADVISED
several weeks ago, when he approached
me Oh this subject, that UNDERSTOOD a
debate between two alliance men be-
fore the State Alliance, for the avowed
purpose of changing that body from
its Judgment deliberately expressed a
wear AGO. to be necessarily a private
affair.
+. AS we'll posted alliance man the
governor would not speak OF Colonel
Terrell as the national lecturer.
For all these reasons, am convinced
that the reporter misunderstood the
governor. .,,.,
Nevertheless, to avoid the possibility
of mistake, growing out OF the pur-
ported interview, l hereby announce
that the debate between Colonel Terrell
and Governor Tillman will take place
before the State Alliance, in regular
session, as at first agreed upon, july
- at Spartanburg.

WANTS IT IN OPEN AIR.
[The State, 9TH
Governor Tillman as already indi-
Gated docs not wish to discuss the sub
treasury scheme with Ben Terrell on
the 22nd, in a secret meeting. 1ester-
day he said he greatly preferred TO
speak out in the open air where every
body could hear if they wished to: he
has great horror he says IN speaking
in a packed hall, as on this occasion
his audience will be such, for he suffers
from heat very much. He wants the
open air as it is hard on speaker to
talk about an hour, especially when he
become wrapped up i'll bis subject as he
does. But Stokes decree spoils all.

Senator a. p. German is Just now
the lion of the hour. Democratic lau-
dation flows in upon him with food
tide volume. Statesmen write letters
of stilted praise and little newspapers
teen with awkward expressions of
adulation-all because he was able,
with the indispensable aid of eight re
publicans, to prevent the Senate from
adopting cloture by cloture. Had there
been one republican less, certainly
two, to stand by him his so-called gen
eralship would have been Il thing to be
laughed at, not glorified.
Whatever credit, therefore, attaches
to the overthrow Of cloture and the
elections bill should be divided be
tween the dissenting republicans.
Without them Mr.. German would
have been a mere fly ON the wheel.

There is nothing in the reform claims
Of the Knights of Labor that will
Justify either party in nominating
men of that persuasion for the next
Legislature.
The entire list of proposed reforms
is Il serial preteXt for obtaining polit-
zeal prcfcrment.
That is the job in nuce and IN etcnSo.
There is respectable, virtuous look
about their professions, but it is the
livery of heaven borrowed to shine in
the DEVILS service.
The woes of women and children in
factories may loudly and justly call
for alienation, but there is no demand
for an eight-hour law in these mines
on that account.
Nor for two weeks pays.
Nor for so-caled ventilation law.
Whatever Baltimore city may do
the coming fall in advancing the
Noble Order politically, it is certain
that Alcgany county should not send
enough Knights of Labor to the next
Legislature to make II motion to adj
journ.

Appetite, Not Sentiment.

''The interest Of one is the concern
Of ALL used to be the motto of the
Knights of Labor.
That was supposed to reflect their
defensive attitude against the grind
ing expressions Of the employing
class.
But since the Noble Order has got Il
taste of North American politics, its
motto is now a matter of appetite:
Grab everything in sight hog for more,
and look as honest as you can"

How Ills in His own Province.


II Mr.. German is really the OPP
ponent of force at elections if he is
really in favor Of the free exercise of
the suffrage, correct counting and
truthful returns; if he is, i'll short, in
favor of majority rule, now is Il good
time to strip his system Of the means
and his henchmen of the power of
running his party and the State by
minority methods and minority force.
We need not go outside Of Allegany
county for an illustration. There are
now n districts sending 100 delegates
to his conventions, 80 OF whom can run
the whole business.
Tne mere disfranchisement Of the
other 81 delegates is not the least evil
of his system. 1t makes the voice Of
the 80 the voice of the i20, and the
party a personal, not a political on
gaGization. 1t encourages factions
by fractional methods, and so on.
In short, there is not one single
shadow Of redeeming feature III his
scheme Of bossing the democratic
party. 1t is far worse than the cur
rent system in the South which, here
and there, may suppress few c2lored
votes, for here he suppresses chite
votes--two to one, and i'll his own
party at that
His instruments are an unchanging
and Interchangeable machine and the
perennial hope Of Office, which springs
eternal in the breasts of his servants
and sycophants.
And yet because he is assumed to
have preserved the integrity of the
white vote in the South, he becomes
the object of fulsome applause from
all over the country.
But, readers, he who proyideth not
for the liberty of his own household
hath denied the faith and is worse
than an iniidcl,

An Unseen Peril.

The Washington Sur says:
The question Of popular election of United
States Senators is once more before the
Senate, Senator Turpie in speech introduce
ing joint resolution providing constitu-
tional amendment to effect the purpose said
that both the Senators from Indiana favored
the proposition. 1t is also known that the
popular election of Senators is approved by
at least four western states whose legislatures
have declared themselves. An election by
the people directly would prevent some evils
doubtless and would not introduce any new
ones if the long term were retained.
But how would Senate like that
get along without German to save the
country from cloture and forcible
elections

Some Charactcr Sketches.

In the very premature agitation of
political probabilities next fall the
JOURNAL sees names mentioned that
do not accord with its notions of
capability aud merit.
1t is opposed to any Knight of
Labor. as such, for any Office, because
the non-political professions of that
Order belle its practice.
1t is opposed to anyone especially
for any Office who is confesscdly ga
Knight of Labor before he is a demo-
GRAFT" or republican either.
1t is opposed to anyone who wants
his secondary political choice--the
democratic party, to make him its
first choice.
Take John Chambers, for instance,
who, we understand, wants to 90 to
the House of Delegates. Besides be
ing Objectionable in the respects just
stated, his views of legislative duty,
exemplified by his appearance before
the last regular meeting of the Town
Council, do not stamp him as proper
reflector of Allegany county intel
Igence and sentiment.
The democratic party should not,
therefore, nominate him or any other
Knight of Labor for the Legislature
who is avowedly an organization man
in fact, an odicial class man one
who four years ago aSsentcd to, and
no doubt obeyed the Noble Order
dictum, sent out from the District of
Columbia jackson mUa net be elecied
governor of Maryland - 1t should
not, moreover, nominate man who
holds that a representative body
should do nothing until the people
whom it represents compel it to do
something.
But outside of all these considcra-
tons, this region does not want either
party to send men to Annapolis with
letters plenipotentiary to fret, harass
and disturb our mining interests. We
want no men there who. pretending to
personate miners, make it their reprC-
Sentatice business to miSreprcsent min
ing needs that have no foundation in
fact and very little in fancy. We
want no man there with any measure
whose purpose is to destroy the amity
between employer and miner. In
short, we want no man there whose
political existence hangs upon his
hypocritica( sympathy with labor and
labor's imaginary wrongs.
AS to other offices it makes little
difference. For sheriff, clerk, attor-
ney, etc, the conventions are apt to
select competent men.
Our friend ofthe Queen City Con,jer,
however, is little too entcrprising
for Il servant Of the people. He makes
a master who is full of eXpedients to
pour water on his mill, but that is not
what we want. Otherwise, he is un-
objectionable.
Then there is Mr.. human, q capital
officer, suaye, polite, accommodating,
a prince Of good fellows-just the man
for the place-nonc will ever fill it
better, but beginning to be a living
REPUTATION of the rotatory principle of
holding office. He suits the JOURNAL
firstrate, but then, O, then he has
not drawn an unofficial breath for
nearly eighteen years

The Baltimore critic is III woe again.
After giving some account Of the
truly horrible explosion in the Frick
mine it walls:
Just such men as We're killed in Pcnnsyl-
vania by ''dispensaton of Providence"
once asked in Maryland-nay, begged and
pleaded-for protection from the possibility
of such disaster as took place at Mammoth,
Pa. Fighting inch by inch for this humane
measure, they saw it finally passed. And
then-tlIey heard it was stolen They
asked for mine ventilation. The answer
was-there are no dangerous gases in Mary
land mines. No, and there were none in the
Mammoth shaft until one came. 1t was a
pocket of natural gas that was struck, the
kilograms tell u.s. What pockets were struck
when the Maryland miners asked the State
to defend them in Maryland? Can We ever
forget the wrong?
The answer was correct. An eX-
plosion in Maryland coal mines from
gas is an impossibility for the same
reason that a powder explosion is
utterly and INCREASINGLY impracti-
cable where no powder is used.
The JOURNAL does not endorse theft
in any case as a means of etfecting
good, but, as a matter of fact. the
gentleman who stole the bill alluded
to by the Critic bestowed Il great favor
upon this region, the miners partic-
ularly, by removing Il mischievous
instrument out of its fOreordained
province of doing harm. Had he fail
ed in accomplishing a good purpose
by immoral means, the miners Of this
region would be most likely worth at
least 5000, 900 less than they are, and
not life saved by the operation Of
the Act, especially if it provided
against gas explosions,
The JOURNAL repeats the fact.
therefore, that none are more indebted
to the thief of the mining bill than the
miners themselves. If he still lives,
they owe him a banquet; if he is in
heaven, they owe him monument.
Approved without Acclamation.
Judge Hoffman set that Getty
edition" advertisement of Il country
sale aside on the grounds of insult
ficient advertising, inadequate price,
etc.
A decision so just ought not to be
applauded, perhaps, but it certainly
should be stated that an ''inadequate
price, for instance, is the natural, if
not inevitable result of insufficient
advertising"
There is, therefore, an immense
amount of sound philosophy in the
Judges view of legal cause and effect.

Che Coal Trade.

The New York Engineering and
Mining Jo"5w0' states the situation
thus:
The market for bituminouS coal may be
said to be little easier than it has been at
any time during the month. Natural anG
favorable conditions seem to be bringing
about this much desired result, and the large
operators claim that during the month Of
February all the coal needed Is likely to be
supplied at fair prices. Last week fancy
prices were Offered with no takers this week
the practice has been to ask fancy prices ;
these offers have met with Yev few takers,
The greater bulk Of the stock which Is moy-
ing is still going TO fill contracts
And the Mining Reco~ of the same
city says:
The bitunlinous coal trade continues very
active, and there would seem To he no trouble
in selling every ton that can be mined.

Last weeks Lot2Ger says:
The trouble in the CleariicId and Conncls-
Vile coal regions and the talk of general
strike on May have not served to increase
the peace OF mind of the operators IN this

1t is to be doubted whether 1.-THE
operators in this region have sad Il
word indicating unea:imcss.
If they have the JOURNAL has not
not heard syllable OF it.
They know one thing, however,
that they have no more to lose by ga
general strike May T. than anybody
else.
They have learned enough in the
school of experience to be prepared
for any fooiishncss at any time.
The Rees d. Recs reign of terror has
not been forgotten. nor has the
further fact been lost sight of-that
there has been no Improvement in the
nor"7a and personode Of the master work
men since Recs' day. Hence, now, us
then, failure Of amy and all efforts to- run
coal operations against the owners
wishes is assured from the outset. In
the very nature of things all such
essays are doomed to collapse.
SO that the Ledger, under its latest
regime Of inspiration, appears to think
that the current era of amlty and pros
pcrity has in it the seeds of revolution.
1t seems to imply that peace is the
price Of some unholy condition, and
that prosperity is circumstantial evil
