THE CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

Col. ]. J. Darsan, editor of the
Sumter freeman, claims that to treat
him fairly we should publish his
Brooklyn speech in full, in order that
our readers may see how unjust our
criticisms of it was, and says further
that the reason We didn't publish it
FIVE years ago at the tine we CRITICS
ed it, was because we got scared. He
further says we pleade,l slack of space
and want of interest on the part OF
our readers for not publishing 1t.
We have referred to our file and find
no such plea, though we think the ex-
cuse, as made by Mr.. Dargan, is eS-
actly correct.
Col. Dargan challenges us to repub-
lish this speech, and insinuates that
we are afraid to do it. Perhaps we
are. We believe the "code" gives
the challenged party the right of Sc
lecting his weapons. Then we accept
the challenge under following condi-
tions: The speech to be published
IN full, followed by the two editorials
and the communication that e few
weeks after appeared in the Eat,7pr1Se
{of which we were then EDITOR, our
editorial of last week, Mr.. Dargans
editorial of this week, and the present
article.
The whole matter then being
squarely before the people, we vii!
undertake to discuss the matter with
Col. Dargan to his hearts content.
We will agree to get out this matter
on supplement and to send a copy
to every subscriber we have and also
to furnish The Freeman with 1000
copies,-all for twenty dollars, to
be paid by Col. Dargan. Or
if Col. Dargan prefers, and thinks
he can do it cheaper, he may at his
own expense get up this supplement,
and furnish us with copies enough
for our edition.
How does that suit?
Our article last week was primarily
to protest against the apparent perse-
cution, by an alleged friendly paper,
of the governor of the State, and the
Brooklyn speech was mentioned only
incidentally. If, however, Col. Oar
gan wishes to make this the main
and new issue, we are ready for the
fray. He asked US to show up or
hush up. We stand ready to show
up, but simply ask that Col. Dargan
stand expenses till we get the bali in
motion. VIII Col. Dargan accept
our challenge? Our readers may
easily anticipate that the answer will
be in the negative.

and we can, too, if we are alive to our
and welfare.
To have these things we must
throw aside the idea that asking un-
prices for lots is What
makes a value, and those that have
lots that are ''not for sale" should
either have them for sale, and sell
them, so that they may be built upon,
or hold the lots and build upon
them themselves. Town lots are en-
tirely too valuable for pastures. a
whole lot full of COWS and hogs does
not present as pretty sight, nor IS 1t
as profitable, as Il neatly built cottage
with the merry voices OF children
romping around it.
This is an age of push and prog
ress, and the man that displays the
greatest interest for the welfare of the
community in which he lives, is the
one that sets about to contribute, and
induces others to contribute, to the
development of that community.
II we have the interest of the town
at heart, there is nothing that will
bring about a prosperous future
sooner than for us to cooperate with
each other, and work for the estab-
lishment OF factories and other indus
tries, that will give employment to
our people, cause people from abroad
to invest and move among us, and
build up home market for our farm
ers to dispose of their products.

A municipal hospital has been
opened in Jerusalem under the pat
ronage of Protestants, Catholics, Jews,
and Turks. Rahouf Pacha initiated
the work and it has been carried on
to completion by bis excellent success
sor. 1t is said that by advice OF jew
ish rabbis and Protestant ministers
the president of the municipal coun-
Gil has called upon the Roman Catho-
lie Sisters of Charity to act as the
nurses Of the institution. If Jews,
Catholics, Protestants, and Turks can
love each other in Jerusalem and
work together for suffering humanity
we must be in the dawn of the mil

Governor Tillman has offered a
suggestion to the warning factions OF
the Charleston Democracy, which if
accepted and faithfully carried out
will insure an adjustment of their
tangled condition and secure peace
and harmony in the party. The sug-
gestion was made in the interest of
harmony within the ranks of the Dem
ocratic party, without regard to any
technical advantage that either faction
claims.

Spectator, 4th July.

The Triple Alliance is evidently unpopular
in Italy with the extreme Left, Or Republican
Party, which desires a closer union with
France. They recently put up Signor
Colajauni to interpellate the Government on
the subject but the President of the Cham
Der, probably fearing an indiscreet debate,
gave the preference to another Interpolation
by Admiral Brin, who approves the Alliance.
His decision gave rise on the 9th and 18th
ult. to violent scenes in the Roman Chamber,
during which it was at one moment feared
the parties would come to blows. All other
parties, however. enthusiastically welcomed
the Marquis Rudini's announcement that
the Alliance had been renewed and the
scene ended without result, except to deepen
the impression that foreign policy is better
left to the King. The Italian people are usu-
ally cool, and a little oyer-adrOjt, in their
foreign policy but the Chamber is every now
and then carried away by gusts Of passion
apparently less comfortable than in any
Chamber in the world. One of them swept
away Slgnor Crispi, who has disappeared out
of the stream OF political affairs, and left
no ripple on the water.

Respectfully,
PETER LEMMING.


To the Ed or Of the 81. Croiz Bulletin
Dear Sir,
Allow me a small space for a few
remarks in consequence of the recommendation
from Inspector Of Customs PETER LEMMING
of a candidate for the Colonial Council. con-
tanned in your issue of to-day.
Ishall not dwell on the surprise which was
caused me and others by the fact OF a gentle
man who but a few weeks back in spite Of his
personal efforts was unsuccessful in securing
for himself a seat in the Colonial Council as
Member for this town, now recommending a
candidate for the coming election, and that
a candidate who by the position he holds in
the Government Office, even if elected, would
in my opinion hardly be recognised by the
Council (see Colonial Law s 10 and the recent
decision of the St. Thomas Colonial Councir,
but shall only as a taxpayer warn voters
against electing any other person to represent
this town than one who advocates retrench-
ments in the administration of the Island, and
who in the colonial Council will use his
efforts to obtain measures in this direction and
who is himself a taxpayer and thoroughly &C
quainted with the interests Of the community
IN general and this town in particular.
Respectfully Yours,
A. E. STAKEMANN.

Roumania has been greatly agitated by a
quarrel about Royal etiquette. Prince Fer
dinand of Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, brother
and Heir-P ~resumptive of the King, has fallen
in love with Mademoiselle Pelene Vacaresco,
daughter of a great Roumaniap boyer, or
landlord. He wishes to marry her, and has
obtained an unwilling consent from King
Charles, who knows that such an alliance
within his family will greatly annoy the Ger
man Emperor. The Ministry, however, have
interfered, declaring that the future King Of
Roumania must stand above the local houses,
and be free of all relationships with them
and as the Deputies and people are Of the
same opinion, the engagement has been bro
ken off, and Prince Ferdinand has retreated
to Sigmarlngen to overcome his chagrln.
The incidenthas repeatedly occurredin Europe
under other forms, but we do not remember
another case in which the people have inter
fered. They are generally assumed to APP
prove Royal marriages of affection, but we
are not sure that the assumption is correct.
Certainly when they choose Kings, they have
shown themselves most unwilling to travel
out Of the Royal caste, though we believe
the Greeks did, on the last vacancy, offer
their throne to the present Lord Derby, then
Lord Stanley. He, however, thinks sitting
on thorps a disagreeable amusement, and de-
clined the honor.

Count Munster. the German Ambassador
in Paris, has thought the present a good
occasion for publishing, through the Times
Paris correspondent, an account Of his last
interview with Prince Bismarck. 1t occurred
on March 10Th, 1890, when the ex-Chancellor
had received an intimation OF his dismissal,
but did not really expect it. He was most
patient and resolute in his conversation,
accepting anything that might befall him
with the resignation of a statesman, and
greatly excited Count Minister'S admiration.
Before the visit ended, however, Prince Bis
marck received the letter announcing his
creation as Duke of L%auenburg, and rightly
interpreting this us q signal that his dismissal
was final, he became violent, and exclaimed
shat " the Emperor should soon see he could
not dismiss a Bismarck in that style" Count
Munster adds that the old Emperor William
once expressed himself strongly on the sub
ject OF Prince Bismarck's nepotism in promo
ting his son Herbert SO rapidly, and told the
Count that ii Prince Bismarck's regime ever
ended, he should make General Caprivl his
successor. That is important testimony to
the wisdom Of the young Emperor's choice,
for his grandfather, who seemed in other
respects an ordinary King, had an almost
infallible judgment in selecting his great
officers.

pressed very freely in official circles that
the poachers will have the season to them

them in time before the season closes.
"It comes too late said treasury Of

LONDON, June 3.-The Prince OF Wales
made decidedly favorable impression ~
a witness ia the baccarat case His testi.
mony was given with frankness that
seemed to command the belief OF all pres
ent, at the same time that the prince was
unable 70 conceal that be felt himself in
an unpleasant position His popularity
was shown by the spontaneous respect
which everybody displayed. The general
talk in clubs and Hobbies Is that the testi
mony OF the prince has settled the case
against Cumming. His avowal that he
had cut Sir William since last September
is accepted as stronger evidence Of the
princes belief in Cummings guilt than II
he had plainly expressed his conviction Of
such guilt. In matters OF the kind the
prince is known to be merciless. Cum
ming is not the first intimate whom th'
prince has dropped because he suspected
him Of unfair dealing at the card table.
There Is talk OF a certain duke, not un.
known in America, whom the prince once
detected in a petty trick at cards, which,
while not absolutely foul, was not the aei
OF gentleman. Not word has passed
between the prince and his grace from that
day TO this.
