Governor Tillman declined to comply with
this request, but turned the statement of
President Smyth over to Mr.. w. G. Benet,
aud himself left the stand before it was
read, because, as explained in his behalf, he
had "reoeived q telegram "sayipg that Mrs.
Tillman was ill., and he had to catch the
Columbia train.
And now il is pointed out that he had an
hour after speaking before the train left,

man was we'll enough to accompany Gov.
Tillman from Columbia to Newberry the

TILLMAN's DuPLIclT1. as to
Tillman's duplicity in dealing with the
people multiples. Some six years ego he
told Mr.. W. A. Ancrum that he made charges
against the democratic State administration
because he wanted to "atiract attention"
About the came time he told N. G. Gonzales
that he was "no three for quarter man,"
and that he only advocated ''retrenchment
and reform" because if he did not do so
"these clodhoppers would not go out TO hear
him." Now comes Editor Aull of the New
berry Herald and News and testifes that
two and half years ago he told him that
"he had to write [charges] ss he did in
order to attract the attention and get tho
ear of the people," Proofs multiply, we
say, that B. r. Tillman has played 'confi-
dence game" with the people. Many men
still persist in being deluded by him, but
many others, thank Heaven, are amenable
to reason, and when they find they have
been fooled will honestly admit their mis-
take and help to retire the man who obtain-
ed their support upon falso pretences,

SEVEN ROADS TIED Up,--Buffalo. August
19.-The Lackawaua, Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg and the Western New York
York and Pennsylvania roads nre the only
ones in full movement here to-day, and no
one knows how long they will remain in
that condition.
BY the calling out of the switohmen on
the Nickel Plate, tho entire Vanderbilt
system in Buffalo is now tied up, and the
number of strikers is increased by nearly
one hundred. The roads involved are now
seven, viz The Erie, Buffalo Creek, Lebigh
Valley, the Nev York Central, West Shore,
Lake Shore, and Nickel Plate. The Michi-
gan Central runs the passenger trains into
the New York Central station, but its freight
goes into the yard at Suspension Bridge,
and it employs no switchmen here.

Tom WATSON, THE PHARIsEE.-Mr. Wat
SON is conspicuous example of q very large
class of impsrtinent people who fancy it is
their vocation" to sit in judgment upon
| all their neighbors. to compel them on every
highway Of life 60 f'stand and deliver" their
regulations; who make the most outrageou,
charges against whole classes Of society and
are utterly unable to make good a single
instance. They wriggle out of q too def
mite slander by "paying tribute to the
oharacter' of their victim, and expressing
their extreme satisfaction that "they seem
to have teen mistaken" They are reli-
gious, theological, ecclesiastical "Watsons.
who are continually charging u whole school
or party with deliberate heresy, or worldi.
ness, OF self-seeking. When asked to prove
their imperiinent ISLANDERS, and to give
instances of men and offences, they have
nothing to say. Sosfar as their influence
extends, they make life intolerable. and
prevent that free play Of Individuality which
is as necessary TO q high morality as TO q
complete and varied happiness. So long As
he lets his neighbors alone mans life is
his own. Nobody has righ to put him to
the question, or to clip his opinions and
conduct to anys "Wetsonian" pattern,
There areisA....s a-asslhicf are far too base and

WASHINGTON, April 12-It has been
stated that Acknowledgement Miller has
given the opinion that the present Ex-
cluslon Act does not expire until 1894.
The Henley amendment to the Act was
made in that year, and Miller holds. it is
said, that Henley's amendment being of
nature materially modifying the Act,
had the effect of a new Act, and ten wears
must elapse from the date of the amend
ment before legal expiration. This story
mas not been traced to an authentic
source. Everyone spoken to on the sub
Ject believes that the law must expire
this year without regard to the date of the
Henley amendment.
Whatever Miller's views may be they
will not have any effect on the efforts of
the friends of exclusion to secure new
legislation. Senator FELTON, is determined
to get an early report from the Senate
committee having the Geary bill in
charge. FELTON, saw Sherman and as a
result Sherman promised him that the
committee would consider the bill at its
next meeting and report favorably in ten
days. Sherman did not intimate what
amendments the committee would make
but it can be Judged To some extent how
Sherman will endeayor to influence
the committee from the fact that he tried
TO amend the Dolph bill by inserting
provision concerning the registration of
Chinese now here as provided by the
Geary bill. In other words Sherman has
already Indicated approval of the princi-
pal provisions OF The Geary bill, and. as
ne comes pretty near running his com
mlttee, viii probably report the bill very
much as 1t came from the House.
Radical amendments ho i
when the bill comes to be considered in
the Senate.
The Chinese Government is alarmed at
the Geary bill. That Government does
not care SO much about the Chinese who
are here or who may come in the future
as II Goes about the American dollars
winch are now and have been pouring
Into the Celestial Empire at a lively rate.
At first our Chinese relations were
threatened, and every American in the
country was to be driven out. but no one
was frightened, as the bugaboo threat was
wholly failure. The Geary bill passed
the House. and stands an excellent show
of passing the Senate. much TO the con
sternatlon OF the Chinese Minister
1t would not be surpri sing to find q
proposition for new treaty coming from
China, one drawn up on the lines Of the
Bayard treaty, which was rejected by
the Chinese Government on account of
its stringency. BY its terms the Chinese
Government will agree to keep all its la
borers at home, at least so far as this
country is concerned, and provision will
be made TO prevent them from entering
the United States from British Columbia
or Mexico. Chinese merchants will be
given certain liberties of coming and 90
ing, but it is proposed to throw enough
safeguards around this provision to pre-
vent any frauds. Whether such a treaty
would be agreeable to this country re-
| mains to be seen, but there is no doubt
that China will agree to anything short Of
the absolute exclusion of all classes in or
der to keep its remunerative trade with
the United States.
