Don't subscr.bs to the Force Bill Fund
It seems that it would be good policy, not
only from q political but from a financial
standpoint, for those wealthy northern men
who have made and are making extensive
investments in the south, to pause aud con-
slider vel what they are about to do before
making large contributions to the repub-
lean campaign fund.
Mr.. Diss on, the saw manufacturer, is a
representative Of the class OF men referred
TO. His extensive operations in Florida are
familiar to almost everybody. The money
he has invested is well placed. But every
dollar that Mr.. Disston might contribute
toward the republican campaign fund
would be that much Of menace 10 the
value OF his property. For the success of
the Republican party this fall would mean
the passage Of a force bill by the Fifty
third congress. And the passage Of such a
bill would mean the domination of iguor-
ance and avarice in the south, revival Of
sectional and race prejudice and coDse-
quent decrease in the value Of all property.
Not only the large northern investors IN
southern property, but the manufacturers
and merchants at the north who hold or
hope to obtain southern trade should take
the same view OF the matter. Under ex-
isting tariff laws the south is the largest and
most profitable field open to the enterprise
of these people, and it seems that, not to
mention that love of justice and right
which should inspire every American to
vote against force bill, it would
be in the line Of good business
judgment to do everything possible for the
encouragement and upbuilding Of the south.
Instead of contributing money to the cam
paign fund OF the party whose purpose is to
pull down and destroy what of trade and
prosperity has been built up since the end
Of the reconstruction era, it should rather
be their desire to contribute to the fund Of
the party which, by guaranteeing local self
government. low taxes and sound currency,
seeks to aid the progress of the whole of
this great and favored country, and not q
part Of it, to the inoonceivable injury OF the
other part.
Large contributions to Tom Carter,
campaign fund may result in partisan
victory; may help sordid monopolists, with
the aid of the tariff, to put the screws
tighter on consumers and wiring more profit,
out Of them; may result in gratifying GER
tain sectionalists who can never forget thai
the war is ended. But what would be gained
that would compensate for the loss Of per
sonal and political liberty and the value OF
property that would follow the passage OF
| force bill

Gov. Tnlman's Programme.

1t is alleged that Gov. Tillman is ambi-
tious 10 be a United States senator. and
that he ia planning to succeed Senator
Butler. whose term expires in 1895. The
legislature that will be elected in November
will not elect a senator. II it did. Gov.
Tillman would probably have his ambition
grItifed. Bat can he retain his hold upon
his party and secure the election Of a legis-
lsture favorable u himself in 1S94l That
is question that cannot now be answered
The alliance and the conservative wings OF
the party are quite wide apart, and i;
may be that they will be farther apart in
1894 than they are at present.
1t is said that the plan of requiring all
candidates for senator TO submit their
claims to a primary is being discussed.
II it should be adopted Gov. Tillman would
stand pretty good chance OF being elected,
provided he retains the confidence Of his
followers to the extent be now has it.
He will be reelected governor, and his
political future depends TO large extent
upon his second term in the gubernatorial
office. He has failed to accomplish. during bis
present term, the reforms he promised, but
he attributes his failure to his inability to
control the legislature. The legislature that
will be elected in November will be in har-
mony with him, and If he does not carry
out his pledges he will have no excuse to
offer, and will be 10 danger Of losing the
phenomenal popularity he enjoys.
He is now engaged in an undertaking that
will help him greatly If he is successful 1t
is the refunding of the state debt Into per
cent. bonds at par. Since be has been gov
ernor the credit of the state has not been
fully maintained for some reason or other.
The price of the states securities has fall
len several points. Lately, however, there
have been signs OF improvement, and the
funding OF the debt may be accomplished TO
the satisfaction Of the people. There are
other important things which he has to do
which call for q good deal of ability. He
will have to be successful all along the line
to enable him to reach the Senate. Many
distractions. doubtless, will be placed in his
path by rival senatorial candidates. IL he
succeeds under such adverse circumstances
it will be admitted that he has much
higher order of ability than that for which
be is given credit.

Except when summers comm or when sum-
mer's really here;
Them times they sort o. treat me Ike as though
they held me dear.
Nd through July md August most generally
sees
a half dozen Of 'em here beneath my ellum
trees.
But when IT comes to winter. when there's
ND | 90 down to see them in the town week
or two,
You'd think, the way they look at me, they'd
Or that I'd brought upon 'em all some everlast-
ing shame.
Why long about last New Years time I hap
pened in one night
When they was havin' dinner, md you'd thought
l was a blight
My cousins wife. she got as red as any healthy
beet
When declined some oyster cakes nd asked
for solid meat.
Though remember mighty we'll at my place
She turned her back on roastcorn beef nd made
meal on pie.
Nd just because asst a dude they had at that
there meal
II he was Mary AIMS young man. "Maree" be-
gan to squat.
It amt their hearts that's wantin'-they're af-
fectionate enough
They show that when they come to me when
city heat gets tough
It's In the brain-and after all amt bit sur
prIsed.
BY just one week Of city life I'm nearly par
alyzed,
Nd all their little queerness had ought to be set
down,
think, to that unnatural life they lead down
there In town.
