WASHINGTON, D. c., March Sl.-The follow.
ing communication has been sent by the
South Carolina delegation to President Ceve
land:
To Mr.. President: You are aware of the
cratic party In South Carolina. II did not
arise by reason of any national Issue, but
was the result Of an effort looking to the re.
formation OF the local government OF that
State. The factions are known as reform
and "anti-reform."
The undersigned members of congress re-
present what IL known In South Carolina as
the reform element In local politics. We
have made every effort consonant with the
dignity OF the positions we hold in fairness
and justice 10 equitably divide the patronage
or our State In delegation meeting, but fall
ed on account OF the minority refusing to CO.
operate with us in q proposition In line with
custom that has prevailed immemorlably
In congress.
1t is now your province to settle this mat
ter according 10 what to you seems good aud
proper. AT a meeting Of the undersigned we
Sampson Pope, OF Newberry county, s. c., for
the position of marshall: Hon. I. H. McCalIa,
of Abbeville county, $. G., for collector OF In.
ternal revenue; Hon. Joseph H. Earle for
United States district attorney and Hon. a.
NJ. Youmans, Of Hampon county, s. c., for
collector at the port OF Beaufort.
All of these names belong to our faction,
except the Hon. j. II. Earle, who was the
nominee for governor OF the other faction
against Governor b. r Tillman in 1890. Hls
altitude toward our faction since that time
has been that Of a conservative In the strict
sense Of the word, and he occupies the pecu-
liar and striking position of standing be.
tween the two factions, enjoying the conf
dence and respect OF both. We concede this
position TO him. because we know that his ap
pointment would give universal satisfaction
and pleasure 10 both factions We honestly
believe that we are entitled to three-tifths Of
this patronage on account of the numercnl
strength of our faction, 1t being TO- O0D out OF
the 10000 white democratic voters of the
State.
We hope that you will regard this as our
appeal for the recognition Of the democrats
whom we have the honor 10 represent In our
State. With the hope that this unfortunate
division may be satisfactorily adjusted, we
beg leave TO subscribe ourselves very respect.

To hear your footsteps on the stair,
To meet you, greet you, anywhere?
Are You so like your Master,
Dark shadows to enliehten?
Are any happier to-day
Through words that they have heard you say?
Some are so sad and weary!
Some are so often falling!
Can you not speak q word OF strength,
Til stumbling ones grow strong at length?
Life is so dark and dreary!
SO many tempters callngl
Can yOu not stand beside some heart,
Until its lonely fears depurt?

And faces beam thy light to see.

Fitzsimmons had been receiving
several pretty swift punches,
and becoming aware that he had
one of the best men he had
sver had to stand up against, went to
work to end the fight at the earliest
possible moment, just at the beginning
Of the fourth round. Hall began to get
in his work, when Fitzsimmons got in
left-hander in the stomach with con-
siderable force, and before Hall had
time to think about it followed it with a
terrific right-hand swing which landed
squarely in the neck and down

CANADIAN VERSION
OF Blaine's Reciprocity Requirements
February, 1892.

VI bihlhcS y NeclprOcity requirements tu
February, 1892.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 9.-The gov.
ernor-general has transmitted to par
lament the record of the conference at
Washington on February 10, 1892, be-
tween the Canadian delegates, Mr..
Blaine and Secretary Foster The fol-
lowing portion, which relates to reci-
procity, is the Canadian version:
Mr.. Blaine said he could understand
why Canada was reluctant to enter into
u treaty of unlimited reciprocity but
that no other arrangement would suit
the United States, and that it must be
accompanied by discrimination in favor
of the United States, especially against
Great Britain, which was Americas
great competitor, and that it must be
likewise accompanied by the adoption
Of a uniform tariff for the United States
and Canada, equal to that of the United
States.
Unless such points were guarded there
would be no security on the one hand
from smuggling along border line
over 5000 miles, or on the other of
maintaining the present protective
policy of the United States.
Mr. Blaine added: 1--WE would expect
to have the Canadians to compete with
in manufacturing, but no one else" A
treaty for natural product alone could
not be discussed

The question has often been brougha
forward us to the wholesomeness Of
bread made by the old-fashioned method
of raising with yeast, which, az is well
known, causes fermentation, and
which is actually a rotting OF parts Oh
the flour, and is thought by physicians
to be directly responsible for much OF
the dyspepsia of the present day.
1t is claimed by those who have tried
it that the Royal Baking Powder will
make bread of superior lightness, firm
ness, and general excellence without
the use of yeast This process entirely
does away with the Preventative action,
and it is averred that no bread can pos

that made in this way. It Is stated in
the receipt that the bread made by this
