REV. SAM JONES ON TIE SENATE.

The Rev. Sam Jones keeps up with
politics as we'll as other things and oc-
casionally gives vent to his feelings in
language more forcible and pointed
possibly than elegant. He pays his re-
spects to the Senate on its dilly daily
ing course in the following strong Ian
guage and there is much truth in
most of what he says. 1t is time for
action:
ST see the Senate is still vaporizing.
and delaying. Now the papers talk of
gold shipment to Europe, and things
do not look as lovely as they did
week ago-and the worst may not be
over.
II read with interest Mr.. Cleveland's
letter to Governor Northern. 1t seems
that he has ceased to argue and has be-
gun to pray. It's time to dissolve parlia-
mept.
"I see some of the Senators have
gone home, drunk. Some men can
serve their country better dead drunk
than when they are sober.
IF had a pack of hounds that ran
q fox like the United States Senate
chases legislation, would lose interest
in the fox and 60 dog hunting and go
home dogeless.
"I'd rather have no dogs than some
kinds of dogs.
"Why don't they do somethingo 4
hundred hens cackling in the barn lot
and not an egg laid! would eat hens
and do without eggs for the balance Of
the year.
"Let that august body do something
or resign, and let US send somebody to
Washington who will act, who will
repeal or confirm. ..
"They can't dicker and piddle and
vaporize much longer without disaster
to the country. and we will make them
smoke for their conduct when they get
home and want Endorsement by re-
election.
"Is it not about time we had a new
deal, anyway? We can't be worsted
much in any sort of deal.
"Shades Of Webster, Clay and Cal
houn! Comparisons are odious. But l
suppose the little fellows in the United
States Senate to-day are doing as much
according to their sizes as the giants Of
old did. Size determines ability.
Wheelbarrows can't carry like locomo-
tives and box cars. The space between
a lion and cur is wide. To whom lit
tie is given, Of him little will be ex-
pected."

STOP TALKING, GENTLEMEN AND ACT.

1t is high time that the Senate was
doing something. If it is possible for
a minority to keep off action in the
way it has on the Sherman law it is
time to change the rules Of the Senate.
Congress was called together in extra
ordinary session nearly three months
ago to act upon one question that Lad
been thoroughly discussed and ventil-
lated and still our Senators continue to
make speeches and postpone action. It
is time that something was done and
that quick. The platform upon which
the present administration was elected
demanded the repeal of the Sherman
law and the Republican platform also
demanded its repeal. Then why so
long delay action? Why not repeal
this law if it is bad one and then be in
shape to carry out the further demands
Of the platform upon which the pre-
sent administration was elected. The
people have demanded that the House
and the Senate do this, then why talk
about conditions.
There were no conditions in the
platform Of principles. The Senate
might learn lesson from the.action of
the House. The gentlemen in this
latter body are fresh from the people
and we would like to suggest to that
august body called the Senate to look
and see by what large majority the
House acted on this same proposition.
If there is any relief to he had from
the repeal of this bad law if action is
delayed much longer it will be too late
to do the people any good.
The people are tired of so much talk.
They want action.
Senator Butler says that the Senate
is the last resort of minorities in this
country. It does look so and we fear
that the minority in this case is not
doing itself or the country any good by
its present work. We suppose that
a majority of that minority is in favor
of repeal but they want conditions.
That sounds to US like foolishness. If
this is a bad law and is doing the coun-
try injury, why not, in the name OF
common sense wipe it off the books
and then 60 to work and give US some
better laws. If the business Of the
country is to be improved now is the
time we need it to be improved. What
good, for instance, will it do the coun-
try for cotton to go to ten cents after it
is out of the hands of the producer.
The relief that we need is that which
will benefit the producer.
If the Senate has any rule by which
vote cannot be taken so long as any
one wants to talk, that rule, it matters
not how hoary it is with age, should be
amended. There is q time for all
things, and it is time now for the Sen
ate to act.
Senator VOORHEES, says he will ask for
continuous sessions to-day until a vote
is reached. We hope he will be able
to get a vote soon. It is said that
vote will be reached this week.
We do not suppose what we have said
will have much weight with the Senate,
but still we have tn. satisfaction of
having said it and we believe the peo-
pie think there has been enough speech
making and would like to see some
thing done, so that we may know just
where We are at. Stop talking, gen.
tlemen, and act.

WHO IS WHO?

We agree with our cotemporary, the
Observer, that it is getting time for US
in this Safe to know who is who and
which is which. If a man holds to
Populist principles then he should not
hold on to the Democratic ship, and
we hope that that matter will be
definitely fixed and settled before the
next Democratic primary, if we are to
have another.
But here is a paragraph from our
cotemporary that we do not exactly
understand:
The Populists in South Carolina are
getting tired of having a few Demo-
Gratis so-called to monopolize all the
Offices. They realize that they are
strong and growing in numbers, and
they have at last come to the full
knowledge of the fact that they have
been fattered and cajoled out of all
real control, Notwithstanding their
large numbers They are tired Of pull
ing chestuuts out of the fire for Dem
ocratic monkeys.
This sounds a little like our cotem-
porary was speaking officially for the
Populists and with authority, and we
are curious to know who are the STEW
Democrats so-called," who are monop-
olizing all the Offices, and who are the
Democratic moneys" We take it
that our contemporary is Democratic
and stands fer Democratic principles.
There may be great many Popu-
lists in this State, but if there are they
did not materialize in the last election.
We do not believe that man who
votes the Populist ticket or the Repub-
lican ticket should be permitted to
vote in the Democratic primary and
we do not see how an honest man can
do it.
The Populists may have large num-
bers and the Democrats may be few.
If so when we come to selecting stand
ard bearers of the Democracy W.
should know who is who. Then if
the Populists have the most votes they
will be elected. When the issue is
clearly cut we do not believe there will
be so many Populists as some think.

4, KI,El''l1ER,
COUNSEL TO MBN OF LARGE
AFFAIRS,

During such a period of financial
disturbance as the present, you find
it necessary to concentrate all your
talents and energies on the manage
ment Of your affairs.
You cannot safely delegate the
work to another.
At this time, any one else, no
matter what his ability, would be
unable to successfully conduct your
business, or protect your invest
ments, as well as you can.
But there is a chance that you
may at any moment. be forced thus
to turn your affairs over to the
management of another-namely,
in the event of your death.
Remember, that executors often
think more about avoiding risks
and protecting themselves than of
carrying out the spirit of the testa-
tors views. They generally lack
experience in the business they are
trying to wind up.
This ineyperience and possible
lack of interest may cost 10 or Is per
cent. Of the value of your estate, or
more.
You cannot but recognize the
truth of. this statement;nevertheles
you can guard against this loss by
assuring your life for the amount
which in your judgment your exc
cutors would waste in winding up
your estate.
You can easily, by economizing
a little in your living expenses, pay
from your income the premium on
a policy for $4,000 or 100000,
issued by the strongest financial
institution of it's kind in the world,
the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety of the United States, 120
Broadway, New York.
If you then chance to die, your
executor will be Instantly in the
possession of $500, 900 or 100000 Of
cash in hand; and ready money will
have a touJold value if death comes.
On the other hand, if you live,
and take your assurance (for ex-
ample) on the 20 year Tontine En-
dowment plan, you will yourset
reap a rich reward on maturity OF
the policy.
The following is an illustration of
one out of many such policies
maturing in 1885,

June 2, 1898.
N. B.-The uriter ofthe aboos letter
has applied to the Equitable for a meW
policy for fre times the amount of the
original policy.

Justice Bradley, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, has decided
in favor of Gov. Tillman in the matter
of a patent on the trademark question
for the whiskey bottles. The States
liquor will have the exelucive right to
use the Palmetto and the coat Of arms
of the State as the trademark for its
whiskey bottles.
We regret that Gov. Tlllman insists
on using this emblem as trademark
for whiskey bottles. His State pride
should suggest to him the improperly
of thus using it. Maybe now since he
has won his case he will desist.

WHAT ABOUT THE NEWsPAPEkse

The term of court just over settles the
fact that our lawyers are the most op-
pressed and down-trodden class Of peo-
pie in the land. 1t begins to look as if
their occupation was gone and the
truth is evident that the money
power" is squeezing the very life out OF
the profession. Unless Congress comes
to their relief they must one and all be
reduced to penury and destltutlon.
Although the lawyers have uttered no
cry of distress it is distressingly evident
that their condition is serious If not
hopeless. It is time that Congress pass
a bill to provide for additional law
its in every county in the country or
else to issue bonds aud lend them
money at two per cent. taking as Sc
curity mortgages of their librarles.-
Lsurens Advertiser.
This is all very true, Deighbor. 1t is
pretty much the case everywhere, and
we are very sorry for the lawyers and
they have our sympathies, for we used
to be sort of one ourselves, but what is
to become of the press-yes, even the
"pluttercl attic" press? That big sub
sidizing balf a million or moro that
some good brother away over in Pick
ems told Brother Williams, of the
Greenville News, about must have
given out before it got far, for sure, we
have only heard of fit-we have neither
seen or handled any of it.
Now, it seems to US that if there is
to be any legislation at all along this
line, Congress should pass law re-
curing every man to become sub
scriber to the papers Of his County,
and every merchant to take certain
amount of advertising space, and then
let Congress issue money at one per
cent on the good will of the paper, and
on the delinquent subscribers at least,
in sufficient quantities to run the ousi
ness of the office or q paying basis, and
make this money redeemable in gold
coin at the treasury department. We
say let US have this plan, or scheme, or
"something better"
The press of this country has been
abused and trodden upon b.: the lead
ers of the people long enough. 1t is
high time that it should cry out for re-
lief and reliefmust not be long delayed.
Their life is being pressed out.
