UNJUST AND UNCALLED FOR

"When Attorney General Pope was
pretending to make an argument be-
fore the Court the other day III the
Coosaw case on q purely legal question,
he lowered the dignity Of his office and
proved his utter untitness for 1t, 10y
making political stump speech and
playing the role Of the bully. 1t was a
Spectacle to make South Carolinlans
ashamed. and we are surprised that the
court should have allowed it.
When we think of the office that in
other years was honored by Legare,
McDuffie, C0nn0r, Earle and Others,
now being occupied by such sm0H
man as y. J. Pope it makes us sick"
The above is from q recent issue of
the Sumter Advance, and isnot 4 credit
20 the author, to say the least The
Herald and News was not in sympathy
with the Tillman campaign OF last
summer. and did what it could TO defeat
the nomination of the ticket, but we
tried TO be fair. The above criticism
is born of prejudice and would have
been a thousand times better left un-
said, so far as accomplishing what the
author evidently intended. Its unfair
aid unjust, and the people Of South
Carolina believe in both fairness and
Justice. No, if the Advance had been
in sympathy, politically speaking, with
Gen. Pope, it would no doubt have
found much in his speech to euloSize
and applaud.
Gen. Pope is l good lawyer and is al
ways courteous and respectful to the
court, and the fact stated by the Ad-
vance that the court allowed him to
proceed and heard his argument on this
occasion is evidence that he did not
overstep the bounds in this case. The
attempted ridicule and severe illness Of
the Advance cannot wipe out this fact
The Herald and News believes il
''totipg' far, even with I political oppo
ncnt, or an enemy, and it has nothing
TO say derosatory to the eminent abili
y Of Gen. Pope's predecessors in office
but feels constrained 10 say this mucl
IN justice to Gen. Pope.

in selling single copies at cents.

THE THIRD PARTY.

\ great deal is being written and
said now about third party and par
ties in general. There are some OF the
Alliance leaders who seem anxious to
make out of the Alliance third politi-
cal party, but so far as the South is con-
cerned this agitation is destined to fail
ure. The plea put up is that II the
demands and needs Of the farmers and
laboring classes can't be obtained
through either one Of the old patles,
then third party is the necessary
thing. There is no room in South Caro-
lima for q third party and in our pecu-
liar condition it would be suicidal for
the white people to split and attempt q
third party. For the farmers OF the
South to unite with the West in the
formation Of third party will not
work. The interests of the two sections,
agriculturally speaking, are not COM
mon. The principal crop of the one is
cotton. wkile the staple crop ofthe other
is the cereals, and each section is going
to be actuated by that which will bene-
fit it most. Man is selfish animal by
nature and he is going to look after his
own.
One Of the chief arguments of some
OF the leaders of the Alliance who are
trying to form this great party is that
the farmers OF all sections are brothers
with the same aims and that they must
get together and make this great party.
The State, in Q recent editorial, puts this
question strongly and truthfully when
it says that "dissensions are inevitable
among the members of the different
sections. The, Southern Allianceman
who imagnes that his Western brother
sympathizes with him in his desire to
hold cotton for a rise is badly posted on
human nature. The Western Alliance
man who thinks that his Southern
brother will help him to corner wheat
is deceived.
"InteIligent selishness moves men,
parties and governments, and lntelll'
gent selfishness is the bar to any lasting
cooperation between necessarily an.
tagouistic influences. The farmers of
the South will find thattheir storekeep-
ing and banking neighbors, much as
they may be prejudiced against them,
have necessarily their interests much
more at heart than the Western farmers
can have.
The South consumes Western provl-
sions. The West consumes Southern
cotton. Each seeks to raise the price
of its own staple and lower the price
of that Of the other section. There can
be no community Of interests in such
matters and consequently no pulling
together.
The rule is the same as to Offices"
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1891-04-23

There will be no spring term OF the
Supreme Court. Associate Justice Nc
Gowan, who has been sick for some
time is still unable to hold the court,
and there being but one member q the
court left, does not make a quorum and
hence there can be no court. The
Governor has no power to fill either OF
the places. There will be no Supreme
Court now until the November term.
The Herald and News hopes that
Judge MCGOWAN may soon find in the
rest he is takinge speedy restoration
to health and vigor, and that he may
be yet spared to his State and his peo-
pie many years.

ANOTHER CORRESPONDENCE.

Another correspondence between
Secretary Noble and Governor Tillman,
in relation to . division of the money
appropriated by Congress to be used by
colleges for agriculture and mechanic
arts, is published this week.
Governor Tillman points out the law
to Mr.. Noble and shows him where ne
is endeavoring to strain his authority
in wanting the appropriation divided
between Clemson and Claflin accord
ing to the proportion Of white and
negro population Of school age. Gov
Tillman is right in his position as Inc
Herald and News has before had occa-
sion to say. Secretary Noble does not
seem to want to understand the mat
ter. In Withholding the money he IS
doing more injury to Claf]in than TO
Clemson.
All sensible people Of all classes and
of all political creeds cannot fail to ap-
prove Gov. Tillman for his position IN
this case and the manner in which he
has conducted the correspondence.

Changes in cniteatiary Guards.
The State

Corporals Joel Benbow, of Clarendon,
and 4. G.. Alexander, Of Spartanburg,
were yesterday given their walking pa
pers as members Of the Penitentiary
guard, which petitions they have held
for ten years. Mr.. Benbow was in
formed that he had the alternative OF
being reduced to ranks or leaving. AS
Mr.. Benbow had heard that Superln-
tendent Talbert had stated to one OF
the guards that he would "rather pull
bell cord over mule than be penlt.
entiary guard" ne naturally concluded
that the idea was to get rid OF him:
These gentlemen state that no fault had
been found with their service; but that
others could be found who would suit
Captain Talbert better.
Privates w. {. Dye, Of kershaW, and
c.. r. Hamer, of Marlboro, learned that
they would be dismissed, so they ten
dered their designations to the superln-
tendent. Mr.. Dye states that when he
resigned Captain Talbert's remark was:
that's all ri ght. am glad of it.. l had
to make achange anyway" Mr.. Dye
saws also that the bell-cord remark was
made to him.
