Anti Fusion.
EXCELSIOR. Jan. 25, '92
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Seeing good deal in the pa
pers about fusion with the demo-
Gratis in this state, 1 ask a little
space in the G. w. in which to enter
my solemn protest against any and
all attempts to fuse the Alliance,
or the Peoples Party, with either
wing OF our enemy.-frst,- last-a
all the time.
Secondly, our issue are vital,-
living issues-theirs, dead. corrupt
and rotton ones, raised for pelf
and party preferment, only to blind
the masses, to still further rob and
enslave them.
Thirdly, our platform declares for
equal rights to all, and special priv
ileges to none; liberty and freedom;
mans inalienable rights to life,
liberty and the pursuit OF happiness.
Their platforms refer to "Our grand
and glorious (?) record" Their
leaders appeal to their constituency,
not to forsake the old party-ship,
and insist on a quiet submission to
the powers that be.
By fusion the "peoples party"
cannot hope to gain any permanent
advancement or good, 1t will only
bring those who advocate fusion,
under stigma of political intriguers
and tricksters, and cause them to
be maligned, and ridiculed by all
politicians, and despised even by
the very men and party, that they
seek to elevate. Fusion will only
succeed in belittling our objects and
purposes in the eyes OF the nation
and the world. 1t will contaminate
the good, true and noble men,-who
have stood by our principles-by as
sociating them with political bosses
and foul mampulators.
The people have the greatest bat
tie to fight, that has ever been since
the world began. The magnitude
and bitterness OF which, the late war
against negro slavery and the slave
holder will sink to insignifcance.
Because the present slave holders
money lords-have become vain
OF their power,-insolent and over
bearing to much greater extent
than the old negro slave holders
were.
Our first battle is to be a battle
with ballots. We cannot afford to
have any traitors or tories in our
camp, nor any leaders who are not
tried and true.
We trust that our leaders, and
especially our thrice-honored Presi-
dent, will not betray us and prove
as recreant to his duties, and as
false to the demands of the Alliance
in Minnesota as president Living
ston has to the good alliance and
peoples party of Georgia. For these
and other reasons I hope our leaders
will not consider a proposition for
fusion at all. W. II. IEVAN
The End Of The Revolution.
On Feb. 5, 1888, the War of the
Revolution ended. 1t marked the
beginning of new political era;
it foreshadowed the complete desue-
tude of despotism, and lent en-
couragement to mans mentality
rather than his medieval ideas. The
progress of the world since that
time has been exceptionally rapid,
more SO than during the centuries
Immediately preceding that date,
and it is reasonable to assume that
this young republic OF ours has had
much to do with it. We have dis

Fight Over the Standard.

The Florida Southern Road Soda
Fight Over the Standard.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, May 3.-The
Florida Southern railroad is now out of the
hands of Receiver J. r. Parrott, having
been purchased on Monday by Frank /.
Brown and Henry D. Hyde of Boston. a
purchasing committee Of the old bondhold =
ers. The sale includes $50 miles of road,
terminal facilities. the land grant, rolling
stock, right of way, ETC. A new corpora-
ton will be effected by the reorgani-
cation of the old under the corpo-
rate name of the Florida Southern railroad.
In the meantime the road will be oper-
ated by the same old management, the
Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West sys-
tenn. Mr.. Parrot, who is general counsel
and land commissioner Of this system, has
resigned, to take effect June |.
An attempt was made in the circuit court
to-day to Duilify the sale Of the Standard
press and type on the ground OF sacrificed
property. The property was bought for
$40. 1t is claimed that it is worth SO. 500
Argument was heard before Circuit Judge
Young the major part Of the day. No de-
cision was reached and the case was con-
tinued until to morrow. The Standard
failed to como out this morning and the
faction Of democracy to which it leaned is
much chagrined.
The officials of the Florida Central and
Peninsular say they don't know anything
about negotiations with Mr.. Plant The
only one qualified to know, however. is
General Manager D. E. Maxwell, who
deLies the rumors. 1t is claimed by the
Florida Central and Peninsular officials that
the bonded indebtedness of the road is very
small. 1t is fact that it has made big
money lately, and it is said also that a
dividend will be declared soon.

| invariably turns out to be round Of morti-
| fication and financial loss.
After a stroll up and down the boulevards,
| with various drinks at various cafes, the
| devoted guide informs his companion that
they will now 90 and pay their respects to
a charming actress whose home Isl the Pas
sage Colbert. The companion is delighted
and his heart gives flutter or two as they
| climb the four flights Of stairs leading to
| the shrine at which be would fain warship.
They are cordially received in a luxuri-
| Gus apartment and the actress Is lovely.
They hear some music, drink some wine and
then on one pretense or another the stranger
is introduced into darkened room and at
that point his memory becomes blank as
TO the events of the night. The next morn
ing he finds himself he knows not how, in
bed at his hotel with queer feeling in his
head and distressing nausea. He dis
covers on examination that all his money
aud all his valuables at least all which he
had carried in his clothing are missing, as
well as In many cases portions Of the cloth
ing itRelf
He has been drugged and robbed, that is
simple enough, and thoroughly ashamed of
his folly ne shrinks, in nine cases out of ten.
from appealing to the police or, indeed.
making any mention of his misfortune.
The result is that the large hotels in Paris
are infested with this class Of welI-dressed
vermtn, who, thanks to the unwillingness
of strangers to admit that they have made
fools of themselves, are able to work this
ohloroform trick with profit and i'm
punity.
And that is the part the victims rarely
understand-that they have been drugged
with chloroform. They are apt to fancy
that something was put IN the wine given
them to drink, but that is an error. A
much surer and more convenient way of
supplying the ''pIgeon to be plucked" is to
bring him into room where the air has
been saturated with chloroform vepor. A
few seconds are sufficient to produce IN
consciousness and the man, having been
plundered leisurely, is taken back to his
hotel dead drunk" by his sympathizing
friend, who has made several hundred and
possibly several thousand francs by the
transaction.
The Figaro states that the apartment of
the lovely actress in the Passage Colbert
has just been raided but there are many
other such passages, each with its compile
ment of siren faces, and always will be so
long as Americans continue their hail-fel-
low-well-met fashion of taking up and
trusting these sympathetic strangers.

Secretary Foster Explains Why Some
of Them We're Held Up.
WASHINGTON. May 3.-Some weeks ago
the House at the instance of Representative
Dockery. who wished to ascertain the truth
Of the newspaper charges that acquisitions
to large amount had been held up last
February by the treasury department to
prevent disclosures OF an apparent def
cheney in the available assets of the
department, passed resolution calling on the
Secretary of the Treasury for information
upon the subject. The secretsry's reply
was received to-day. He SAYS that requisi-
tions to the amount of IS. 655, 1863 for the
payment for contracts and other expenses
for various branches Of the public service
were presented at the treasury between Feb
l and 30 last, for which warrants or drafts
were not issued in payment prior to March
l. The secretary explains this fact as fol-
lows: ITO those unacquainted with depart
mental affairs this may appear to be
large sum, but large
number of the acquisitions presented
were for advances of funds TO Disturbing
officers to provide for the payment of liza
biities which had not accrued, and many
of them were not received in time to be
acted upon until after the close OF the
month" The secretarys further explana-
lions were TO show that there was nothing
unusual or significant in the transactions
described.

EXCLUSION OF CHINESE.
The Senate Agrees to the Conference
Report.


WASHINGTON, May 3-After the usual
routine morning business was disposed OF
! by the Senate, Mr.. Morgan called up the
| Presidents message on the subject of an in
transitional conference as to silver coinage.
Mr.. Dolph tried to get action first on the
conference report on the Chinese exclusion
bill, but Mr.. Morgan refused to give prece-
dence to that subjec remarkIng that there
was not so much pressure about 1t as that
the senator from South Dakota, who de-
sired to address the Senate, might not have
the courtesy Of hearing.
Mr.. Kyle then proceeded to address the
Senate in favor OF free coinage Of silver.
At the close of Mr.. Kyle's speech the mes
sage was again laid on the table, Mr.. Nor
gan giving notice that he desired to speak
upon it.
The conference report on the Chinese eX~
cluson bill was then laid before the Senate.
As soon as it was read Mr.. Sherman stated,
that, although a member of the conference
committee, he had not been able to sign the
report He was very willing to provide any
necessary legislation for restriction OF
Chinese labor. and thought that the Senate
bill had done SO very broadly. de
found great objection to the registry and
certificate provision OF the bill as amended
by the conference committee. That, he
thought, was in violation OF the treaty of
1880 with China.
Mr.. Dawes held similar opinions.
Messrs. Dolph and Morgan, members OF
the conference committee, defended the
registration provision.
Mr.. Call declared himself in opposition
not only to the conference report, but to
the principle on which the whole anti
Chinese legislation was founded. he be-
leved that the pending measure would in
volve the loss of hundreds OF millions of
dollars to the already ruined cotton indus
try of the south.
After half a dozen other senators had
spoken, both for and against the conference
report, a vote was taken and the conference
was agreed to-yeas, 30; nays, Is, as fol-

BULLOCK SUPERIOR COURT.
Sasssr Voluntarily Surrenders-Col.
POtter's Illness.

FOLterS Illness.
STATEsBoRo, May SIS. s. Sasser, who
shot and killed a negro some time ago, came
into court on Saturday morning last and
surrendered himself. Application for bail
was made for him by one Of his attorneys,
ex-Judge Hines, which the judge held under
advisement until late in the afternoon.
Judge Hines argued that as imprisonment in
jail could do no more than insure his appear
ance for trial, that II bond would do the
same, bail should be allowed him; that
Sasser was a poor man whose family de-
pended for support upon his exertions, and
that the ends of justice would be answered
as effectually by his appearance for trial
upon bond as any other way. His honor
took this view of the matter and fixed bond
at $4,000, which was promptly given.
1t is with regret that have to chronicle
the sickness of Col Potter. Previous to
this court he had been Frustrated for
months, but a short time ago he was up
and had commenced to take up the thread
of life where he left il off over a year ago.
His friends, and they are legion, were
gratited beyond measure at his appearance
upon life's busy stage; but alas for human
expectations A couple of weeks ago he re-
lapsed and has since been confined to his
bed. An able lawyer, distinguished and
honored citizen, a model husband and
faithful friend it is a universal wish that
he may yet recover and be restored to his
old-time health and usefulness.

Democrats From the Lumber Districts
Against Removing the Duty.
WASHINGTON, May 3-The democratic
members of the ways and means committee
afforded an opportunity this afternoon to
the democratic members of the House to
privately express their views on the tariff
bills pending before the committee. 1t was
made evident that there are quite a number
of democratic members who are not
in favor Of reporting Il free
lumber bill at this session of
congress, and at least one member
opposed the reduction in the duty on barley
proposed by r. P. Lockwood Of New York
Ghe opposition to the lumber bill came
from North Carolina, aud the great lake
states in the northwest, and was Oh the
ground that the duty should not be taken
off unless compensation were given by a
general tariff reduction bill. Mr.. Stout of
Michigan urged the committee to place re-
fined sugar on the free list, and also asked
for lower duties on thread and steel rails.

CROPS IN GA ROLlNA.

a Reduction in the Cotton Acreage
and an Increase in Other Crops.
CHARLESTON, S. c., May S-The Net0S
and Courier will publish special reports to-
morrow from every county in South Caro-
lima in regard to the reduction of the cot
ton acreage. The reports show that in all
sections of the state there has been con-
siderable reduction in the acreage planted
in cotton. In some sections it will not
amount to more than or 10 per cent. In
others it is as high as so per cent, aud in
some instances large Farmers have not
planted a single cotton seed. Taken alto
gether, it is safe to say that the average re-
duction for the state is about 25 per cent.
MORE LAND IN DREAD CROPS,
A very gratifying feature of this new
farmer movement is that the acreage taken
from cotton is being given TO bread crops.
The report comes from every county that
the largest crops of oats, wheat, corn, etc.,
are planted that have ever been known.
The acreage in these crops as compared with
last year is considerably more than doubled.
All the farmers seem determined to raise
more bread and less cotton. Similar inter-
est has been manifested in regard to live
stock. The reports that come of the con-
dition of growing grain are most encourage
ing. Every indication points to good crops
and a prosperous season. This year the
farmers of South Carolina will raise their
own hog and homiuy and will sell their cot
ton as a money surplus.

THE CHLoRoFoRM TRICK.

How Americsrs in Paris Sometimes
Pay the Price of Their Folly.
From the NeO York Herald
Americans in Paris. and indeed all visi-
tors to the gay capital, should be warned Of
the chloroform trick which, according to
the police reports, is being practiced there
extensively upon strangers.
The chloroform trick is operated as fol-
lows: A well-dressed, plausible-speaking
man lounges about the hotels most frequent
ed by wealthy Americans, manages to scrape
an acquaintance with such gentlemen as he
judges to be easy victims, and finally pro-
poses one of those stereotyped rounds Of
nocturnal sightseeing which are 80 alluring
to a man before he has seen them and so
Disappointing sfterward.
OF course the man VINO acts as a decov in
this pernicious game poses as Freedman
thoroughly familiar with all the gilded
wickedness of Paris, upon which be dilates
by toe hour to his eager listeners.
Finally the appointed night coues around,
and with his pockets well filed with gold
and bank notes the unsuspectiug traveller
starts out on his round Of pleasure, which
