Tillman's Successor.

Some of the newspapers, and various writ
ers for the press, have already spoken of a
successor for Governor Tillman at the next
ensuing election.
AS a set off to that proposition it has been
suggested to us by a prominent citizen, that
such talk at the present time is impolitic and
detrimental to the public peace and good
will.
II has been the rule since 1876 to give each
Governor a second term, and there Is no good
reason why the rule should be an exception
this year.
Whether Governor Tillman has satisfied
the public demand or not, there certainly
will be found many voters who prefer to stick
to the old rule.
At the end of two years Governor Tillman
will retire as q matter of course, and the race
for Governor will be a free and open one, for
all who choose to enter.
But the mere fact that any candidate Is
brought out to defeat another who is entitled
to the place, by custom, will be SO handi-
capped that defeat will be certain.
At the end Of Governor Tillman's second
term a new man will be brought forward as
a matter OF course, who will then be embar-
raSSed Dy more or Inc QlSaQSau ldSes w "hi0h
he would be. subjected if brought out at this
time to defeat anybody. The anybody to
defeat Grant was defeated, and anybody to
defeat Tillman' Will most likely meet the
same fate.
There Is no use kicking up a muss. Let us
live In peace. While this newspaper Is not
for Tillman, 1t is for peace and fairness. Till
man, by all the rules which have governed
us In the past, is entitled to a reelection. He
has committed no g~rievous sin against the
body polite, for which he should suffer or for
which his office should be taken away from
him..
The proposition to bring out a man to
defeat him seems evidence of q desire to do
an unusual thing, and when the great public
heart is called upon to aid persons. schemes
to do a wrong, 1t seldom consents.
BY the time Governor Tillman has served
his four years even his blindest supporters at
present will then be ready for a change.
The man who comes out ITO defeat TIL
man. will very likely fail, and the foolish
attempt to diville our people may do irrepar'
able wrong. We don't want Tillmanism'
We don't want Haskellism. We want Dem
ocracy, pure n simple.

Lessons in patience.
By Clara N. Saunders.

Such wonderful lessons In patience
I'm learning each day Of my life
MY heart that was once 80 rebellfoIs,
With quiet endurance is rife,
And now In its depths there Is calmness.
Where ence there was tumult and strife.
A few years ago, twas n trial
To sit dow and quietly wait;
I bitterly mourned In my sorrow
And loneliness over my fate;
But, out OF those days peace has blossomed,
Which comforts me early and lutte.
Misfortune, and dark. bitter anguish,
That sadly our fortitude tries,
Are often 1--we learned 1t but lately,-
Ricn blessings concealed in disguise,
And now, In each trial that's sent me.
A wonderful new meaning lies.
Oh you who arc tired and disbeartened,
And weary Of life day by day,
Just take all your burdens tn Jesus,
just kneel IN your chamber and pray,
And 10! the bright lining of silver
You'll find mid the dark clouds Away.

Now, the growth OF national wealth Is only
ing the assertion Of those who have placed IL
much higher. through comparing the old
valuations with the new (Which have been
greatly increased,) instead Of taking as the
basis Of their calculation, as they should have
done, the actual number OF horses, cattle,
hogs, sheep, ETC., etc., at the different periods.
1t Is plain, therefore, that the great mistake
most men make Is in attempting TO use Dor
rowed capital at AN immensely high rent, or
dinarily termed interest.
While the growth OF the national wealth re-
mains at the present rate, the average man
who attempts to pay even per cent. for all
The capital he can get, should not expect to
avoid bankruptcy as the result"

It is often the case that young men with
small sums of money have no safe place to
invest their earnings. and hence they squan.
der their money in buying p%ertshable or un-
profitable articles.
1t would be far better for such persons TO
deposit their money In bank and receive no
interest until a sufficient amount could be
accumulated to make a safe investment, that
would yield a sure income. D.
In order to impress upon our young men
the Importance of putting even a very
small amount at interest we copy the ar
ticle below.
It shows conclusively that almost any sum
would be a com fort to them in old age, and
would insure them against want when they
might be unable TO work
Many carelessly infer hat the increase Of
money at six per cent, is just twice as rapid
as at three per cent; but IN reality the IN.

If one dollar be invested and the interest
added to the principal annually, at the rates
named, we shal have the following result al

A Welsh Hymn.

A writer, under the signature of
zap Daniel,n sends to a London con-
temporary the following translation
of the Welsh hymn. sung at the
grave Of MI. Henry Richard:
Ten thousand glorious wonders
Shall greet the morning ray.
When earth's storm beaten children
Shall wake to sudden day.
All in their robes of whiteness,
And crowned with newborn bloom,
Upon their Saviour's likeness
They leave their gloomy tomb.
Betnldl the day is coming
In which one faith to test,
To see who haye the substance,
And who on shadows rest.
Lord let my soul unworthy
Be sealed by thine own hand;
The one, the only token,
The final test shall stand.
This hymn, sap Danieln says, is
sung at nearly all Welsh funerals this
side of the Atlantic.
Probably no language is 80 grandly
sonorous as the Welsh, and perhaps
no tongue can boast a finer hymn
within SO small a compass.

Starting a HsIky Horse.

On Friday afternoon a man drove up

crat.n He had a onthorse wagon and
q load of hemlock 'labs. When ne
was about half-wa. upi East Main
Street hill his horsa baked. There
was a row of street Grs behind him
which reached to thefo corners in a
few minutes, and every driver was
leaning out from bis platform and
yelling more or lesstemphatically at
the young man to stat his horse.
The Young man climbed down from
the wagon and tried t. tne morse:
He coaxed, swore, trisd Z lead and

purpose. The animal waned q vaca-

THE ANTI.CHINESE BILL.

The Geary Chinese Exclusion bill, which
43, is a very severe measure. 1t prohib-
its the entrance into the United States of
Chinese persons, whether subjects of the
empire or otherwise unless they
come here as ministers or other
diplomatic representatives or agents
of the Chinese government. China
men now residing in the United States
who may leave the country are forbidden
to re-enter it. Any Chinese person who
crosses the American frontier contrary to
the provisions of this new exclusion act
is to be tried for the offence, and if the
court pronounces that he is not lawfully in
the United States, he is to be imprisoned
in penitentiary for term of not more
than five years, and at the expiration of
his sentence is to be returned to the ooun-
try from which he came.
When it is rem. lbered that the Repub-
lican minority of the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs declared that the bill ia
Gin conflict with the treaties existing be-
tween the Empire of China and the United
States, to which the faith of the United
States is pledged" its true character is
plain. 1t was voted for by the Democrats
of the house in order to catch "the labor
vote" They expect to put it through the
senate and to bulldoze President Harrison
into signing it, Perhaps, however, the
senate will have more regard for the
pledges of the United States than the
house has had, and President Harrison Ger,
tainly will. The matter is difficult one
to deal with, and nobody favors Chinese
coolie immigration. Probably the renewal
of the present law, with such changes as
may be required to put stop to the eva
sions practiced on the Canadian border
would be sufficient to prevent any injuri-
ous immigration from China.

TSt. James Gazette Berlin Correspondence
Apparently the one object of all Berlin
festivities is to create dazzling effect; and
this object is achieved with vengeance
To those accustomed to an ordinary allow
ance of illumination in ballroom, to
dimly lighted supper-rooms, and to the
comparative obscurity of cosey nooks and
corners and conservatories or on the stairs,
function here of any sort is simple tor
ture; for whether it be a ball, a "soiree," !"
a dinner or a modest supper, and however
many or few the guests may be, the same
fierce searching light is turned on from
the walls and ceiling alike in every posi-
BILE direction. How the young bloods in
their array of gold and silver have the
bare-facedness to carry on more or less
vigorous Irritation within general circle
of limelight is marvel, and speaks well
for their boldness, as, moreover, they have
to do so under the eyes of the dowagers
seated on raised platform which is placed
for the purpose In the ballroom of every
well-conditioned establishment. I doubt
me much whether the great German poet
would have uttered the words Light,
more light" on his death-bed If he had a
vision Of Berlin drawing-room in festive
state.
A good many persons In the most select
circles here appear to be siok and tired of
the doubtful pleasure derivable from at
tending the Official festivities; for the 9TH
