Tri- City Improvement league aud the ex-
tension of all possible help to that organ
ization in its deserving Efforts to focus
attention on this locality during the
Worlds fair. TIE recommendation took
this form:
Altogether the best plan for attracting
attention TO Davenport and locality and
of interesting possible investors 10 the
opportunities for business. ss your COM
mittee believes, lies in the direction of
taking advantage of the Worlds fair and
the visitors and exhibitors drawn TO Chi
esgo this year. There are many reasons
why Davenport is favored beyond the
average western city. IL has The Mlssis
sippi river, an object OF interest in itself;
the national arsenal, and the government
canal work, with population larger
than any other center between ST. Louis
and St. Paul.
In accord with movement started ia
this association, the city councils and
representative business men Of Daven-
port, Rock Island and Moline have al
| re 4dy moved TO IF CT an org II z ttion.
The object o. this is to invite desirable
strangers to come and see US, and wnen
| they come 10 show them proper atten-
ton. This. in brief. is the object which
| the advertising committee urgently reco~
mmends mere be appropriated all avail
sble funds. Be this il is intended that
not only the amount commonly SET aside
| for general advertising. but rs much in
add ion as possible. be devoted TO this
one object, which is much in lis nature
and nesrness that it may be called u fh'
vorable emergency l is the opinion Of
your COMM Tee that the association
should make Il special effort on lis o vi
account, and then outside of its member

Little Eta Wilson Arrives Home From
st. Louis.
Little TIA Wilson. the 10year old
daughter OF Mrs Jennie Wilson, on
Twenty-third street. who through the
kindness of Mrs A. Csstleman. was
sent to the Children's hospital at St. Louis
year and a-hslf ago for treatment. ar
rived home this morning entirely cured.
Little Eta had been affected since BABY
hood with hip disease and until the time
mentioned could scarcely walk. The
limb had not grown any for some time,
and hut for the fact that Mrs Castlemsn' g
attention was attracted to the case. the
little girl would undoubtedly have been
cripple for life. Through her generOs-
iey, however, little Eta was sent
to St. Louis, where with the most
skillful treatment she was permanently
cured. The little girl was delighted
TO return home, though to al A8GUs re-
porter this morning she told how kindly
she had been treated and added that sh e
would never forget her benefactress.
The little girls mother was over
whelmed with glsdness at her return and
when she witnessed the changes that had
taken place tears of JOY welled her
eyes despite her forts to conceal them.

GOOD ADVICE.

The Piedmont Headlight of last
week gives some excellent advice
against third partyism in this
State from which we make the
following extracts. The truth of
the matter is that the organiza-
tion of a third party in this State
would be puerile, and mean
the defeat of the rcfomers by an
overwhelming majority. The white
people Of South Carolina will not
desert the democratic party.
So long as the Democratic party
stands, it is folly to talk Of
carrying enough Southern States
for the Populists. to elect a Presi-
dent. We must either use the
name Democrat, or separate the
Wall street element from Jefferso-
nian Democrats, and 60 before the
country with two Democrat tickets.
But if Governor Tillman's counsel
is followed, and the South and
the West join forces, there will be
no necessity for any party division
for we car capture fhe next Demo-
cratic convention and nominate
a ticket that both the silver men
and Populists can aid will cheer
fully support. In South Carolina
there are 10000 negro voting ma
jority, and every Southerner knows
that this element can and will be
controlled by money. This oppor-
tunity our enemies are now plead
ing for. But for this black sword
of Damocles suspended over the
head of the white voters of our
State, the farmers of South Caro-
lima would gladly join hands with
their brethren in the West and
raise the banner of revolt, But it
won't do" If our Southern farmers
have the power to give the elec-
toral vote of their State to the
Populists, that same power will
give them control of the Demo-
cratic party, and we do not create
in the negro Frankenstein to
destroy US. We sympathize with
those who are chafiDg under the
betrayal of their trust by Cleve-
land but then we must remember
that this faction has violated The
principles as enunclated by Je1fer-
son, md dragged the bannre of
true Democracy in the mire Of
Wall street. The Democratic
party, as created by lis fouddcrs,
is truly the party of the people,
and furnishes every safeguard to
popular liberty that we can ask.
When Christ drove the money
changers from the Temple, He
did not demolish that building, or
turn it over to them because their
presence had polluted it; but puri-
fed that edifce of the accused
presence of these intruders, an
restored it to the holy purposes
for which the building was con-
structed.

If Gen. Hampton's scheme as
outlined in his manifesto. publish
ed elsewhere in this paper, should
materialize and he shall proceed
to organize national democratic
clubs in antagonism to the regular
State democracy, the result would
be the formation of two demo-
cratic parties in South Carolina,
for Gen. Hampton cannot drive
the great mass Of voters who have
trained in the reform ranks out of
the party. Nor can he appropriate
the name democrat for his friends
and leave all other democratic citi-
zens the name and opprobium of
third partyites. Should he succeed
in inducing any considerable num-
Der of our citizens to follow him
in this new departure, what could
he promise them or himself? A
disintegration of the party; the
negro brought in as holding the
balance of power; pandemonium
and bedlam to break. loose, and the
great white brotherhood in this
State broken up and destroyed.
Can Gen. Hampton contemplate
such a future with complacency?
Can any patriot? Would he con-
slider it a victory for his side worth
having, if purchased at such
cost? But it is fruitless to antici-
pate such dire possibilities. Gen.
Hampton's scheme will fall still
born. Very few will follow his
lead in this matter. The white
people of South Carolina, whether
reformers or conservatives, have
agreed to disagree in political
matters, each faction recognizing
the right of the other to the name
and all the perquisites of democ-
racy and holding to white supre-
macy as the ultima thule beyond
which they will not 60, be led, or
driven by anybody's general.
Gen. Hampton scheme will fail
because it is weak. Were it strong,
and should it succeed it would be
a crime.

That was a plausible argument
of Senator Irby. that because dem
cratic members Of. the senate had
deserted the platform of the party
in their vote on the Sherman law
that therefore he could vote against
tariff reform. We say plausible.
for it would be plausible only. The
wrong doing of other senators will
be no excuse for Senator Irby.
should he vote against tariff re-
form, and we hope he only used
this expression in The heat of de-
bate. The reform wing of the
democratic party in this State,
both in State and federal matters,
has to date shown the
better democracy of.the two. The
coming over of Senator Butler to
our way of thinking, is proof of
this. Then let no backward steps
be taken.
It is true that the Cleveland ad-
ministration repealed the Sherman
law by allylng itself with republi-
cans, but that is no reason why
any silver democrat should throw
off his allegiance to the Chicago
platform. Let US stick all the
closer to all its PLAN k'
thus proving Chat tqt
democrats that favor silver are in
deed and in truth better democrat:
than the goldbug democrats.

Senator Sherman has already
put in a few licks in the matter OF
getting a new issue of bonds-only
two hundred millions. Following
as it does right on the heels of the
repeal of the Sherman law or Par'
passu with it, it looks significant
of q trade somewhere. We hope
no democrat as in it. If so, he
might as well.hang his harp on the
willows.
