The South Carolina Democracy.

I me south CdFOlnd O6nOCE1CJs
/ Those who have control Of the demo-
cratic organization in South Carolina do
not seem to Be in very close touch with the
national democracy. They don't appear 70
have a very clear understanding Of the
principles Of the Democratic party. In the
democratic state convention Wednesday
they brought about the adoption OF the
I Ocala platform. II Is q wonder they did
net insist upon the adoption OF the st. Louis
platform also, and then toe way would
have been clear for leading the democratic
organization Of the state into the Peoples
party The only reason probably why they
did not indorss the st. Louis, instead Of the
Ocala, platform is that they thought South
Caroliniaus wouldn't stand that provision Of
it which provides for donating TO the ex-
union soldiers good many millions Of dol
lars out Of the federal treasury.
Their democracy is Of q very peculiar
kind. It will not be long, however, before
they find that it is not kind that is accept
able in other states. When the national
convention speaks they will discover they
have got long way from true democracy
and will have TO get away from the Ocala

to be recognized as being in harmony with
the national democracy.
The savage way in which they jumped on
Mr.. Cleveland shows they know nothing
about him, or else purposely ignored the
truth with regard 10 him. II is probable
they accepted the estimate Of him furnished
by demagogues, because they had a purpose
to serve.
Clearly South Carolina needs campaign
Of education. Mr.. Cleveland is no such man
as the South Carolina convention pictured
him.
But the convention pledged itself to sup
port the ticket named at Chicago. All the
indications are that Mr.. Cleveland will be
at the head Of that ticket. In that event the
South Carolina democrats, who have been
attacking him, will be placed In a
rather unenviable position. II Mr.
Cleveland is made the nominee
good many democrats In the state will
have 10 eat humble pie, or stay away from
the polls, or vote with the Republican or
Peoples party.
1t looks now as If Mr.. Cleveland would
be nominated without much of q contest.
South Cardinals vote will not be necessary
to give him the required two-thirds ma
jority. In the meantime it would be well
for that faction that controlled the state
convention the other day to think about the
advisability Of getting in touch with the
Democratic party as quickly as possible if it
wants the party to be harmonious

Opie Reads Msrksm anship.

Among his other accomplishments Opie
Read, the successful story-writer, is a brilliant
shot with rife. says the Chicago Herald. 1t
might be well to state for the benefit of those
who are familiar with the novelist's picturesque
perversion of the truth, that this information is
derived at first hand. He has recently returned
from four weeks visit to the Hot Springs
where his proves with the rifle has bankrupted
the proprietors of half dozen local galleries at
who starred" Mr.. Read, the two strolled into a
gallery one day, where were suspended at the
end OF very fine pieces of Irvine number of 81
bills. sign in the gallery read: Take a
crack at the bills-they yours if you cut the
string" The two Chicagoans consulted in a
corner after noting this invitation. I'm bank
you and wen divide the spoils" suggested
Reads first shot Jared the Irvine, and before it
had ceased swaying he fred again, missing the
string.
See here, Read" sang out his banker, 'ff
am TO manage you must insist on a longer
wait between shots"
"Don't mind me, white man; I'm all right"
returned Read, as he took careful aim and fired,
dropping his first 81 bill into the sawdust be-
low. Again and again he shot, and before long
all OF the twelve 81 bills that had been hanging in
row we're snugly caressing the sawdust. The
three other galleries in town were next visited,
where the same performance was repeated.
Then the star and his manager retired to their
hotel to figure up their winnings A careful
estimate showed the bills had cost them Is cents
on the dollar, and with great glee they counted
on renewal of the days performance next
morning. But this is where they were mis-
taken. No more dollar bills were displayed in
the galleries while Opie remained at the Springs
and the proprietors are now confident that the
novelist was none other than DR.. Carver in dis
RIIiS0.

The Direct Trade Movemen,.

Col. Stovan and Col. Avery are meeting
with gratifying SUCCESS in their efforts TO
establish direct trade between Savannah
and European ports. There is a great deal
more in this direct trade movement than
those who have not been made acquainted
with the plans Of Col. Stovau AMI
/ Col. Avery are aware Of. They
1 have assurances OF substantial help from
capitalists and ship owners Indeed, there
will bsno trouble whatever in getting q feet
Of steamers for a steamship line between
Savannah and Liverpool, or any other
European port, provided assurances can be
obtained that frsights sufficient 70 main
tain the line will be furnished.
The resolution, relative 20 the direct

state convention is encouraging 1t aroused
good deal of enthus. asn, sho wing that the
people Of Georgia are in hearty sympathy
with the direct trade movement, and will

luton.
That the movement under Thomas P.
Stovall and Col. /. W Avery to get direct

In the west the direct trade movement

trades bodies regard it with favor, One Of
the most powerful of the transportation or
CARNATIONS has promised rates that will
tend to send western products, intended for

vennah.
If direct trade between the south is started

She Helped Billy.

She always felt guilty that she should remain
at home in comparative idleness while her hus-
band was struggling and laboring all day long
TO support her in ease, says the Detroi:
Tribune, and when the new carpet was brought
TO the house she hailed it as an opportunity TO
prove herself the helpmeet q wife should be.
III Just lay that carpet, she solioquized with
a happy smile, 'sud won't Billy be pleassds
Poor fellow. " She beamed with delight as she
contemplated In thought the picture of Billy re-
turning home that night with the unwelcome
prospect of hard evenings work laying the
carpet, only TO lnd it all done by his sweet
little bride. Dear old Billy, she murmured,
as she dragged the carpet into place
and knelt to her labor. The first blow
Of the hammer knocked a big splinter

blow but one the hammer caught in her watch
chain and broke the delicate affair into three
pieces. "Pshaw," she cried vehemently. But
there was 10 pausing now. Darling Billy"
The ninth blow descended upon her finger. The
nfteenth tore large hole in her dress. The
twenty-ffth left a rent in the portiere. Thus
events followed rapidly for two hours, when she
discovered that the carpet was laid upside down
and tainted. Billy was summoned from the

trated and deliriou5. Poor BLY," she was
moaning again and again. Four doctors held
consultation over her that night, and the next
day she was better. A week later she was con-

very sweet, withai, amid the pro-
fusion of snowy fabric For

A Motion OF THANKS.

One OF the most amusing incidents OF the Mis-
souri, democratic state convention occurred at
the closing hour, says a Sedalia correspondent
of the st. Louis Republic. As the chairman OF
each congressional district announced the
choice Of his district for delegates aud aternates
to Chicago the entire delegation would rise and
leave the opera house. so that after the Fifteenth
district had responded not a delegate remained.
The newspaper men still occupied the orchestra
chairs, however, and Chairman Young and Sec
rotary Chiswell were on the platform. When
this point was reached, Chairman Young
solemnlY arose, removed his eyeglasses, brought
his gavel down with great force, and said:
Let there be order in the hall! Gentle
men, it is moved and seconded that the than Ks
Of this convention be rendered the good people
of Sedalia for their magnificent hospitality and
to your chairman for the impartial manner in
which he has presided over your deliberations
All in favor of the motion say Aye" The news
paper men shouted "AyeN' with astounding
unanimity. Those Of a contrary opinion say
No" The scene-shifter. who was anxiously
waiting for the stage to be cleared, looked dag
gers; but there was no response. Gentlemen,
l thank you" said Chairman Young, land now
have the honor or declaring this convention ad-
journed sine die" And the newspaper men
INDUCED in uproarious applause.

A Misleading Statement.

Some Of the Hill organs and Hill men in
this state are trying to comfort themselves
for their failure to carry this state for SEN
ator Hill by asserting that more than half
of the delegates 70 the Chicago convention
are outspoken against Mr.. Cleveland. 1t
may be that some OF the delegates are not
friendly to Mr.. Cleveland, but that is Of no
consequence 80 far as Mr.. Cleveland's inter
ests are concerned. The whole delegation
will support Mr.. Cleveland Just as long as
there is any chance for his nomination.
The Endorsement which the convention gave
Mr.. Cleveland was in the nature Of an
instruction, and cannot be disregarded
without a violation Of good faith. The
people OF the state spoke through the con-
vsntion, and they said they wanted their
votes cast for Mr.. Cleveland. Under the
circumstances, if any Of the delegates
should take position against Mr.. Cleve-
land before he was virtually out Of the con-
hest, they would have no political future in
Georgia. The preference Of the convention
for Mr.. Cleveland was much more emphati-
cally expressed than was the preference of
the New York convention for Senator Hill
II Senator Hills friends can find any
comfort in asserting that there are Hill
men in the delegation let them do 50. Such
delegates will not be able 10 do Senator
Hill any good.

Sticklers for the Truth.

During certain voyage of an eastward bound
vessel, says the New York Evening Sun, the
mate, who usually kept the log, became intoxi-
Gated one day and was unable to attend to his
duty. AS the man very rarely committed the
offense the captain excused him and attended
to the log himself, concluding thus The mate
has been drunk all day" Next day the mate
was on deck and resumed his duties. Looking
at the log he discovered the entry the captain
had made and ventured to demonstrate with
his superior. what was the need, sir" he
asked "of , putting that down
asked the captain. Yes, sir; but it
doesn't seem necessary to enter it in the log,
well" said the captain, since it is true it had
better stand" The next day the captain had
occasion to look at the log, and at the end of
che entry which the mate had made he found
this item: THE captain was sober all day"
The captain summoned the mate and thun-
dered: What did you mean by putting down
that entry? What was the need, say? Am
not sober every day?' Yes sir; but wasn't it
truey' why, of course, it was true" We'll
then, sir" said the mate, since it was true,
think it had better stand"

Changing the Buovs.

What does the light house board mean by
substituting spar buoys for can buoys in
Savannah harbo 1t seems it has done this
without inquiring of the pilots and coast
wise sea captains whether or not such a sub
stitution would make the navigation Of the
harbor safer. The substitution does not give
satisfaction. Captains and pilots are
objecting TO 1t vigorously, and they
feel very much aggrieved because they were
not consulted before the change was made.
They would have nothing TO say, of course,
IL the change in the character of the buoys
made it easier and safer for them 10 navi-
gate the harbor, but it doesn't. 1t increases
the danger of their work, for the reason
that the spar bouys cannot be found easily
at night even by captains whose vessels are
supplied with search lights. Vessels not
supplied with search lights find it extremely
difficult, If not impossible, to find the spar
buoys at night
1t would be interesting to know what the
purpose was in removing buoys that were
of the greatest service TO commerce and
putting down those that are OF compara-
lively little use. 1t certainly is not the in
tions in the way Of commerce, though that
is sometimes done by mistake.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the pilots
know a good deal more about what kind of
channel marks would be helpful to the
navigation of the harbor than the light
house board does That they do has been
recognized heretofore. but for some unex-
planned reason they were ignored, it seems,
when the change in the character of the
buoys was decided upon.
The light house board ought to look into
this matter at once. The complaints that
are being made relative to the new kind of
buoys are Of sufficient Importance to entitle
them to very careful investigation. II
the spar buoys are increasing the difficulties
of navigating the harbor no more of them
should be placed in the harbor and those
there should be removed.

A very improbable story has been given
publicity by Mr.. Nathaniel Paige, of Wash
ington. He told a New York World re-
porter at the Fifth Avenue hotel on
Wednesday that Stephen B. Elkins, Secre-
tary OF War, had had a conference with
Secretary Blaine and President Harrison,
and had received definite instructions from
both to present the name of either at the
Minneapolis convention as the republican
nominee and to withdraw the name Of
either az may seem advisable at the time.
Mr.. Paige did not give his authority for
this draft on credulity, which is of char
scter requiring the signature of its author
and the Endorsement of every man who
passes it along.

Not For Free SILVER Coinage.

The republican papers are stating that the
democratic convention Of this state declared
in favor of the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver. 1t would be difficult to say Just
what the silver resolution adopted by the
convention does mean. 1t certainly is not
such a declaration In favor of the
free coinage of silver as the
silver advocates would like. The resolution
is as follows: 1--WE demand free and un-
limited coinage Of both silver and gold on a
parity with each other, to the end that the
money Of the people shall be of such
quantity and quality as was originally con-
templated by the constitution"
If the resolution has any meaning 1t is
that only 80 much silver shall be coined as
will circulate at its face value. An
other Interpretation that might be put
upon it is that enough silver shall be put in
a silver dollar TO make its bullion value
equal to dollar in gold. The constitution
never contemplated silver dollar worth
only 90 cents in gold-tne value of the sill
yer dollar at the present time. 1t is non-
sense, therefore, to say that the state con-
vention declared in favor Of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.

The champion duelist OF the decade is NJ.
Roulez, Of Paris. On Wednesday he fought
four duels, rapiers being the weapons, in
thirty minutes, and "pinked" each of his
antagonists, one Of whom may die. 1t was
all about an opera, which the other gentle
men admired and NJ Roulez did not. They
discussed the piece, a quarrel ensued and
blows were exchanged The next morning
bright and early-at o'clock, to be exact
the gentlemen met to fight. At $50 o'clock
it was all over, and Roulez was the hero of
one of the hottest quadruple encounters on
record. 1t is now the duty of the good citi-
zens of every civilized country to labor
earnestly to bring about a duel between
RouleE and H Vane Milbank.

Bicycling is fast becoming a favorite
mode of getting about in this city. The

riding easy and comfortable. aud numbers
of business men, clerks, etc, go TO and re-
