Charleston Politics.

CHARLESTON, April 27.-The publ
cation to-day of an interview with
Chairman Irby, of the State Democrat
ic Executive Committee, in which Mr.
1rby gives official recognition of the
Executive Committee OF the municipal
Democratic party, acted like a bomb.
shell in the ranks of the reformers.
Chairman lrby's official utterances
have caused a change in the political
system here. Democrats of both wings
of the party are utterly at sea, and no
man can tell what the harvest will be.
The situation is perplexing. The
Municipal Democratic Executive Com
mittee, whose official existence Chair
man Irby recognizes, has called con-
vention of the Democracy of Charles
ton to meet on the 3Oth instant. Under
this call the Democratic books ofregis.
tration were opened to-day for reVis-
ion. The registration was much larger
than usual The reform party have
called convention to meet on May 4th
and have advised their adherents not
to take part in the convention on April
Goth. Both sides claim to have 4 ma
jority Of the registered vote of the
city. 1t is understood that the ring
sterS, who have Democratic clubs Or
ganiZed in most of the wards. will take
part in the May convention by sending
delegates. The probability is that there
will be big family row.

NEWARK, April PA special to the
World from Sheffield, Ala, says: Bishop
Atticus q. Haygood, of the Southern
Methodist Church, denounces the en-
ployment of Pinkerton's men in Penn
sylvania and elsewhere. He says: "What
right have these killing Pinkertons:
mere Hessians, fighting anywhere and
anybody for pay-to hold mobs in check
to put down rioters-to evict strikers? ?
Thank God, these hired ruflians have not
yet been called in to help any city or
corporation in the 'barbarous South If
any plutocrats down here should so far
forget the spirit of our institutions as to
send for them, tits to be hoped that self
respecting state government will order
out the militia to put down and imprison

The Alliance Plan of Campaign.

New YORK, April 29.-PreSident
Polk, of the Farmers Alliance. has just
issued proclamation to the order. in
which he sets forth the plan Of cam
paign which the National Executive
Board has adopted. and counsels the
sub-alliances to cease internal bi:ker-
ings and to get rid Of disloyal mem
beTS.
The plan of campaign consists of lee
lures, by which an army Of $1,000 lee
turers will plead for the cause. 1t is
also stated in the proclamation that ar
rangements are being made for the
holding of two or more grand Alliance
mass meetings in each of the Alliance
States during the year, or as many
more as the brotherhood may desire.

He Killed Three Wives.

SAVANNAH, GA, April 25.-It now
appears that the negro il Jail here for
wife murder, Albert Grant, alias Morea.
alias Kitchen, has put three wives in
their graves instead of two. In addl.
ton to the two whose throats he cut
here, he pounded one over the head
with an iron kettle III a house, also in
this city, early in 1889, and injured her
so badly that she died in a couple Of
days. He was then going under his
OWE name, Albert Grant, AS there is
conclusive evidence against him IN
each case there is little fear that he
will escape hanging. If the negroes
had their way he would be dead already,

against the man who VIII go on TT "rd

The Farmers in Virginia.

RICHMOND, VA, April 30.-The leg
islatiye campaign in Virginia this year
promises 10 be unusually interesting. 1t
is not probable that the Republicans will
make any fight. The contest will be
chiefly confined to the Farmers Alliance.
That element demands important legis-
lation at the hands of the General As
sembly, whose members are to be chosen
this year.
Foremost among these demands is
that for law creating railway COM
mission, with authority to regulate
charges and prevent discrimination in
rates. The farmers. too, believe that
the salaries Of State officials might be
reduced, criminal charges cut down,
more liberal appropriations made for the
State department OF agriculture, and
numerous other benefits bestowed upon
that class. These issues will be form
ulated by the Alliance State Conven-
ton, which meets here in August. The
leaders say that theseare to be so clear
ly and sharply defined that candidates
for the Legislature cannot evade them.
The Democrats will not call Conven-
ton. The State conmitJe of that party
will meet soon to discuss the campaign,
but no Convention, u is understood, will
be called. The Alliances claim men,
bership OF something like 10000 in this
State, and, if anything like unanimous,
can easily control legislation. The idea
Of tie leaders is not to have any third
party, but TO make their demands with
in the ranks Of the Democrats. If they
do this they can, they think, easily ct.
feet their purposes.
The Republican League of the State
will meet here April 90 to elect delegates
to the National Convention of Leagues,
which is to be held in Cincinnati. This
organization has not tlourished in this
State. John S. Wise was among those
who started in with it, but his ardor soon
cooled off, and bit little interest has been
taken in itsince. Some little life seems
to be infused into the League now, be-
cause its leaders think it may be factor
in controlling the delegates from this
State to the National Republican Con-
yentlon. AS Malone does not hold
membership in the body it is difficult to
see how this can be achieved. 1t is not
given out who Malone prefers for the
Presidential nominee, but as heis press
ing candidates upon Harrison it is sup
posed that he will favor that candidates
nomination

reference to it.
The statement of DR.. Corbett is very
brief, touching only on the subject Of
! ill-treatment of patients. He states
that whenever there have been III
stances OF cruelty the attendants we're
discharged.
DR.. Thompson makes the reply for
the recent case of suicide. He says:
AS far as can judge the only COM
plant which might reflect on me is
that the attendants were not instruct
ed at the time she was admitted of the
suicidal tendency OF the mind OF the
patient who recently killed herself.
She was admitted on the 2ith of Janu
airy, 1891, and was then too feeble to at
tempt to commit suicide. Hence we
did not instruct the attendants as to
the matter. She was Immediately put
oDstreatment, and in the course Of three
or four weeks had improved great
deal, both physically and mentally.
About this time she expressed a wish
to be changed, as she wanted to go in a
ward were the patients took their
meals in their own wards, as going to
the general mess hall made her nervous
and see would rather avoid a crowd,
especially as they were noisy and bols-
ferrous at times. She was removed to
the old building and put in quiet
ward. as she was when in the new
building. She remained here until she
committee suicide.
DR.. O. Thompson says that he did
not know that Milne had key to the
female department until after the row
with Mcdowell.
The following is letter Of transmit
tai to Governor Tiliman:

Governor Of South Carolina: In giving
the defence OF DR.. Griffin and his as
SiStants 20 the world We feel it due to

that in a constant official intercourse

Arkansas has a soldiers home neal
Little Rock, established by private
subscription. State aid has been givet
by an Act passed by the recent Legis

Florida has been paying pensions fol-
several years. The pension Act passet
in 1887 provides that all INDECENT ant
disabled Confederate soldiers who
have made Florida their place of resi-
dence fifteen years prior to the passage
of the Act shall come under its proViS

pendituUe on account of pensions
amounts to about $4,000 yearly.
Georgia has a home near Atlanta
which cost $50, 900, and pays pensions
ranging from s. to $50 per month, &C
cording to the disability.
Mississippi has provided literally fol
her disabled INDECENT soldiers, and in
order to make the aid sure has incorpo
rated it in her new constitution. The
State pays pensions, but no home has

Missouri pays no pension, buta move

State aid is expected at an early day.
Tennessee has established a home at
the old home of Andrew Jackson, the
Hermitage, the State donating 413 acres
of land and giving $4,000 for improve

recently adjourned appropriated S2o,-
900 for building and 5000 year for
its support, and IN addition 100000, or
so much thereof as may be necessary
for expenditure annually in pensions,
which range from $3.50 to S25 per
month. 1t is thought that S25, 900 per
year will cover the pension list.
Virginia was the first to establish a
home, which is located at Richmond,
and for the support Of which the State
eXpends $4,000 year, In addition
the State pays out over SS5,000 yearly
in pensions, and when the financial con-

Driven from Russia.

ODESSA, April 2S.-Eight hundred
Jewish families have been ordered to
quit keiff forthwith. The well-to-do
have alreadyigone, but the poorer classes
are in the greatest straits. Many are
arriving on the Austrian frontier in a
destitute condition, but the Austrian
officials refuse domicile to paupers.
The keiff police accept no excuse, raid
ing the city with the utmost severity
unless bribed to delay action. The
daily expulslons from Moscow number
from 100 to 80. On Sunday an eXcep-
tional raid was made when $50 were
expelled. The rigor Of the authorities
frightens away many entitled to per
manent residence. The effect is felt
even in this city, which is a great CEN
ire for Jews with permits to engage in
business. The emigration Of Jews from
this city has Quadrupled. Permits
guaranteed by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Minister of Finance and Mn
lister OF the Interior, any one of whom
has power to quash their tenure, are
considered Of precarious value, and the
principals Of large Jewish firms are
placing their business in the hands OF
Russian agents and are themselves de-
parting.
