party. But have from the outset used all the
influence l possessed against language or
action on either side calculated to make the
breach irreparablc. and to bring disgrace on
the Irish name and cause.

A great deal has beet, so;d On,
written, 10th during his life and s;nc
his death, about the way in rvb;c1
Jay Gould accumulated his vast -,
tune. The most succinct and fairesoI b
statement on this subject that we
have seen is the following, taken from
IN editorial in the New York Times
The total of his gains is currently
estimated at something like seventy
millions. This is one of the great
fortunes of America, and there is no
other great fortune comparable to it
in amount that has been attained by
the same means. The Astor fortune
originally acquired in adventurous
mercantile enterprises, has been in
crcaslng during two generations bv a
safe and far sighted calculation of the
probable growth of the city of New
York
The Vanderbilt fortune WAS built
by n similarly safe and far-sighted
calculation of the future increase of
the traffic Of the country and by tho
sasaccus taking of measures adapted
to confirm and secure it's proper share
of this increase to the route that
commanded the greatest natural adj
vantaGcs for this traffic. The Gould
fortune has not been acquired by such
means. 1t is simply the measure of
the success that has attended the skill
OF its founder in intercepting the
earnings OF other people and divert
ing them from their natural dcstina-
ton. 1t would be easy to show that
the Aston estate, or the Vanderbilt
estate, or the Stewart estate, is the
result of economies introduced by the
to"n' C s Of those estates respectively
III which their tenants, shippers, or
customers, as the case may be, shared
equally with themselves.
No such claim can be made on be-
half Of the Gould estate. What it
would be easy to show rs regards the
othors would be impossible to show ns
TO this. 1t wonld be at least very
difficult to show that tho nation, as n
whole, is a dollar richer by the exist
cnce of jay Gould, while he himself
has become the richer, by an amount
estimated, as aforesaid, from the ex-
pnnslon OF the city and the nation.
lie has simply absorbed what would
have been made in spite of him and
what, if he had not interfcrcd, would
have been possessed by somebody else.
We cannot say this of Astor, or Van
dcrbilt, or Stewart. In serving their
own ends they were serving public
ends, while Gould was n negative
quantity in the development of tho
country where he was not an absolute
rctNrding and destructive quantity.
This in not in the nature Of an Gu
loGy, bnt who shall say that it is not
the exact tluth ?

AZ a correspondent suggests today,
tho point for reform in this State is
in the reduction of salaries and Off
COS and other expenses Not one
atep i'll this direction has becn taken
by alleged rcformers, and the reason
is easily noted. Banks and railroads
und phosphate companies represent
few votes and have few friends.
Jumping on them and doing tho An.
drew Jacksons act is politically safe
and usually popular. When itcomcs
to abolishing Offices and cutting sal
aries, however. reform toes are trod
den upon and men representing
power in local politics are offended.
The only move made toward 1hang-
ing the county government system is
the John Gary Evans bill, which
creates lot of new officers, provides
for an army of road contractors and
its cumbersome, expensive and in
some respects oppressive and un nst.
We opposed the bill to give tho
county missioncrs Of Greonvillc
county charge Of the dieting
OF the prisoners because wo saw no
roason why the Sheriff of Grecnvillo
should bo r@t on different footing
from all the other shcril1s of the
State and because on general princi
pies We arc against tho policy Of
making special laws for counties. 1t
is getting so now that We will soon
have to have special edition OF re-
viscd statutes for each county and a
man docs not know what law he is
under when he crosses county line.
We do not believe in big profits in
public Office. In our view officials
should be paid fairly for the work
they do, the talent they use and the
responsibilities they take, and no
moro. We believe the counties
should pay directly for aIl work done
for them and for all goods and ma.
terials they use and take all fees,
costs and charges, which, however,
should be made rs light as possible.
We believe there should be direct
business like system of making and
keeping good rock roads by the com
blned means of States and counties.
We have not, however, with MI tho
talk of nerve and reform fcnnd many
reform"rs with nerve enough to m-
dertake to propose any such lcgisla.

An UNC INSTITUTIONAL DIFFER
ENCE.

Much alarm has been expressed in some
quarters in regard to the plan Of the ad
ministration to take away the charter Of
corporations which refuse to pay taxes
thought by them TO be illegal. Section 12
article !, OF the Constitution says: "No

or be prevented from acquiring, holding

subjected in law to any other restraints or
disqualilications in regard to any personal
rights than such as arc laid upon others
under like circumstances" In the consti-
sutton person and corporation mean the
same in regard to the rights of property.
The charter OF corporation is its prop
erty, its person, and the constitution will
no more allow it to be thus deprived of It's
property than it would allow an individual
to be thus robbed. Tho constitution for

no difference how hard you work or how

possible and retain your job. That's my
advice. This is slave pen, and the man

A Friend OF tho Scntinel.

Mr.. EDITOR: I have been a reader
of your paper for near fifteen years
and have always found it to he an
able paper and on the side OF pro-
gression and the building up of the
country in every sense. Therefore 1
think tho present editor of the SESr1
MEL deserves the highest encomiums
of the people of Pickens county.
When they consider that he lost his
father III the lato war and WAS left
poor orphan boy with no one to pro
vide for him but good and christian
mother, which is fortune to any boy,
particularly one like the editor of tho
SENTINEL was. So I think it will be
q pleasure, a hope, and OH inspiration
to the poor orphan boys of Pickens
county, today, to know that the edi-
tor of the SENTINEL, now bright and
shining star among the lawyers and
editors Of South Carolina was once a
poor orphan boy like they are. Boys
this is not the only example I can
give you IN Pickcns county of what a
poor orphan boy can do or has done.
Please look at Hon d. r. Bradley. OF

self and dignity to tho county, state
and nation.
With these bright examples of what
poor boy can do, boys press on, be
honest, truthful, sober and industri-
ous, and you can do what they have
done.
Mr.. Editor, in the way of encour-
aScmcnt to the poor boys TINT are try
ing to make themselves useful [ think
it would be Il gook plan for the news
papers to more frequently give short
history of some self mado men, A
great many Of those boys that arc
trying to make themselves useful are
too poor to buy history in full Of all
our great sclf-madc men and thus
they are debarrcd Of the encourage
ment that they might derive from the
giving them short his
tory of the lives of our great self
made men. This would perhaps not
only make the papers moro instruc-
tive but would make them moro use
full.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I have written
and dedicated this article to that poor
boy that is struggling against power
ty to mako himself useful man aud
an ornament to his race, hoping it
will cast i'll his path ray OF hope
and a bright spark of encouragement.
So, believing, rs I do, the greatest
character to bc formed is the man or
woman that is trying to better the
condition of the oppressed, the weak,
and tho low and his or her case gen
orally. A FRIEND.

Dr. Coke Smith Accidentally Shot.

1t will ba unpleasant news to the
hosts of warm friends in this State Of
the Rev. DR.. A. Coke Smith to know
that he WAS accidentally shot a short
time ago, but it will give pleasure to
know that he is not seriously burt.
A Portsmouth, Va, paper says:
"Last Monday while out cunning
the Rev. DIR. Coke Smith came near
being seriously, if not fatally, shot.
1t seems that the accident occurred
as follows: DR.. Smiths son, friend
and the doctor were out hunting par
tridges. The doctor was on one side
OF ditch and the other parties were
on the opposite side, the ditch being
partly filed with underground. A
covey of birds flew up from the bush
es and the doctors son fired without
properly observing the position of his
father, and the doctor received six or
seven shot in his face; two below each
eye and one going through his jaw
and striking the tongue; one in the
neck and one in the wrist. Luckily
the doctor is not seriously hurt"
