IA statesman who gives way before
public clamor for the purpose of main
tanning his hold Oh office IS no worse
than newspaper which chimes in with

ing its popularity. The man is dem
agogue-so is the paper."-Ex.
And alas how many demagogues
have we. grown in South Carolina in
the recent past. The great majority Of
our statesmen now try to find ont
what the majority of the people want,
aud then they a@e there all the time.
The burning question is to get elected
and get there, and the effort is to get
votes.

John Jacob Amick, who died on
June 10Th, 1891, was sixty years old.
He leaves a wife and seven children to
mourn their loss. He has been an ex-
emplary member of the Lutheran
Church for the past fourteen years and
consistent Christian since he united
with the church. 1t was the writer's
privilege to see Mr.. Amici often, and
he always said that he had the evidence
that he was aChristian. His soul has
gone up to the City: Eternal to meet his
little Clifton who has preceded him.

Very true. But it is too often the
case that our public men enter politics
not for principle, but to win. BY clean
methods if possible, but the main point
is to win, and they are for any thing
that will give them success and that
they think will be popular with the
people.

Governor Tillman in his address to
the citadel cadets did himself credit.
1t is manly to admit that you have
made mistake and acknowledge that
you were wrong when it is discovered
that injustice has been done. Governor
Tillman admitted that in his earnest
support of another institution, he had
done injustice to the citadel boys, and

Gov. Tillman, you did wrong in ac-
cepting that pass. Send it back where
it came from, and YOU will feel better
as we'll as those who supported your
candidacy. Make your practice as Gov
ernor conform to your preaching dur
ing the campaign. Notwithstanding
the disadvantages under which you
have labored, you have thus far made
one Of the best governors South Caroli-
ma has ever had. Don't let that free
pass mar your record. Don't stubborn
" and unwisely refuse to return it.
Own up that in the multiplicity of
cares crowding upon you, you failed to
give the subject of the acceptance of
the pass that mature consideration
which would have caused you to make
a different decision. The best of men
will be caught mapping at times but
wise man will not occupy the position
of Il trickster without he realizes that
it is deserved and there is no way of
escape.

Lively for the "Dominaut Element
TSpecial to the State.

CHRLEsToS, S. C., June 27.-The
Cantwell case bobbed up to-day III the
shape of proceedings instituted IN the
Common Pleas court to compel the conf
nIissioners ofregistration to show cause
why they should not deliver to "Super-
visor" Cantwell the registration books
with which they We're temporarily en-.
trusted for the purpose of a revision OF
the city registration.
The complaint of Dir. Cantwell was
served on the commissioners OF regis
tration as issuing from the Court OF
Common Pleas for the county, and was
addressed to Hon. w. H. Wallace, the
presiding judge Of this district. The
com plant embodies the well known
facts concerning the appointment OF
registration commissioner, Mr.. Can't
we'll giving up to them the registration
books, his removal and the cause as
signed for it by the Governor, his de-
manding the re-delivery of the books,
which demand was refused, etc.
Mr.. Williams to-day telegraphed to
Governor Tillman for instructions, and
the Governor replied by telegraph that
Attorney General Pope would be here
to look into the case. \ hearing of the
question will probably come pit some
time next week.
The wild ideas Of the Governor IN
reference to ignoring legal restrictions
and dilemmas is illustrated by the
hitherto undivulged incident of his
telegraphing to the commissioners OF
registration at the close of the recent
revision directing them to send the
registration books to him at Columbia.
The books were not sent to Columbia.

THACKSTON MISTAKEN.
So Says superintendent of Education
Mayfield.
1Columbia Record.


The Record to-day has some light to
throw on the school Journal scandal.
as it is called. The gist ofthe matter, 1t
will be remembered, is that Mr. Ihack-
ston, the clerk in the Office of the Super
intendent of Education, sent out clrcu-
lars for the school commissioners to
sign and return to him to be sent to the
school trustees in their district. These
circulars gave the information that the
State board authorized the trustees to
subscribe for Mr.. Thackston's paper,
the Palmetto School Journal, land
issue an order on the County Treasurer
in payment"
Mr.. Mayheld returned to the city
last night and to-day he was seen by a
reporter.
MIR. Mayfeld stated that the resolu-
tions passed by the State Board OF Ex,
aminers on the 4th of April endorsed
the Palmetto School Journal as its
official organ, as it was desirable to
have some school journal as means OF
communication between the members
of the teaching profession" This was
simple endorsement Of the action or tne
school commissioners the day before.
Mr.. Mayfeld said the board said
nothing at all about any compensa-
ton.
When asked how it was, then. that
Mr.. Thackston stated in his circulars
that "by resolution Of the State Doard
trustees are authorized to subscribe Tor
the same and issue an order on the
County Treasurer in payment for same" "
Mr.. Mayfeld replied that he thought
Mr.. Thackston was mistaken, and that
he must have misunderstood the action
of the board. Mr.. Thackston had made
a proposition to the board in regard to
the journal but they had taken no ac-
ton on it. Mr.. Thackston was Informed
that the board had endorsed the jour
nal. and he must have understood Dy
that that his proposition was agreed
to. :,
Mr.. Mayfeld was asked if be intended
to take any action in the matter ana
he replied:
II don't see that T am called upon to
do anything. Mr.. Thackston is an able
and efficient representative in my office.
He conducts the School Journal on his
own responsibility, and 1 have nothing
to do with it."
Mr.. Thackston would make no
formal statement in regard to the
matter. In the course of conversa-
ton he remarked that he understood
that the Board of Examiners had passed
the resolution. He was not in the room
at the time.

To what part of Utah and the western

the Utah Loan and Trust company perme-
ateda Synonymous with success and bust
ness ability, the company's fame has
spread until to-day it is looked upon as one
of the surest and most trustworthy insti-
buttons in the territory. This is attested
by the fact that the patronage bestowed
upon it has necessitated larger, better, and
more luxurious quarters, and to-day the
company occupies the magnificent five
story, cut stone building shown in the above
illustration, situated on the corner of Tw en-
ty-fourth street and Washington avenue,
Ogden, Utah. The building is the largest
fand most imposing in the city, and will for
ever remain monument to the energy,
progress and business ability of the build
ers. The interior of the banking chamber
surpasses anything of the kind in the west,
and the mammoth vault has no equal, either
in strength, size or convenience. Deposi-

and credit are safe when once placed within
its precincts.
