Ward McAllister permits American

mounted upon tricycle. looks like a

sort of speed. Likewise the tricycle. is
fatiguing to operate; moreover, it is
rather apt soon to make a creaking
sound that sets sensitive nerves crazy.
But if the Princess of Wales is will

THE RACE QUESTION.

The race question is getting good
deal of attention just now. 1t IS big
question and is going to be more Sc
rious as the years go by. Many plans
and theories have been advanced on
the subject and many solutions have
been suggested. Whist will be the out
come we will not pretend to say.
Thomas Jefferson said in 1921: ''Noth-
ing is more certainly written in the
book of fate than these people (the
negroes) are to be free; nor is it less
certain that the two races, equally free,
cannot live in the government"
What are you going to do with
them? If 1t were practicable we be-
lieve the best solution would be for
them to be in State to themselves.
(We would say to the Greenville News,
Mr.. Calhoun, and Mr.. Graves that we
do not claim to have originated this
idea.) But in order to do this it will
have to be gradual process.
The best planjust now is to let them
alone. Give them their rights under
the government and justice before the
courts and not bring them in as fac
tor in our politics. If the white people
will keep united, the negro will not be
disturbing element.
We do not believe in the analgama-
ton idea or theory.

If YOU read what the advocates OF
free silver have to say, you are forced
to conclude that the country will go
directly to the demnltion bow vows if
it is not given the free coinage Of silver.
On the other hand, if you read what
those have to say who are opposed to
it you inevitably conclude that if the
Sherman law is repealed and dollars
worth of silver is put in dollar the
country will start on such an era OF
financial prosperity as was never wit
messed in its history. We must admit
that we do not feel able to solve the
difficulty, but it does seem that the
opinion of those who have made the
subject of finance a study ought to be
taken for something, especially when
they have no Office in view. We take
the opinion of all politicians with a
grain or two of allowance. We would
like to know what is the objection to
putting dollars worth of silver in a
dollar. We are told that the silver
men, as soon as they are paid for their
bullion in treasury notes as required
by the Sherman law, turn right around
aud exchange these notes for gold, as
they are permitted to do under this
law. Why should they want to do
this? We would like also for some ad-
vocate of free silver to tell us what ben
etits will accrue 10 the South from the
free coinage of silver on the present
ratio. Well, we shall soon know what
Congress is going to do about it.

The Columbia State says that those
opposed to the present administration
will have no candidate for Governor
next year, it matters not whom the
other faction may put up. We do not
know upon what authority The State
makes this statement. It is entirely
too soon to be discussing gubernatorial
possibilities. What we would like to
see would be no more March conven-
tions by either or any faction, but a free
and open fight in the primaries. Let
anybody who feels inclined make the
canvas and let the Democrats say by
their votes which one they prefer,
and then let such one be the standard
bearer of the Democracy. In this way
we might get the present factional
lines wiped out and be rid of running
campaigns on tine plane of prejudice
and passion. We then might be able
to secure the best fitted man for the
place. We might also be rid of small
calibre statesmen and coat tail swing
ers, for they would hardly know upon
whose coat tail to swing.

AN ARMED STATE CoNsrABULARY.

We are not only to have q system Of
spies but we are also to have an armed
constabulary with instructions from
the chief to shoot down. any boy or
man who offers him insults in the
shape of expectorating in his direction
or of tossing towards him eggs not
altogether sound.
This sort of treatment of the State
constables is wrong, and should not be
engaged in. The law as law should
be obeyed, and no good can come to
the State by taunting, abusing, and
maltreating. without cause, the State
constables, how much soever We may
abhor the business they are engaged in.
There is nothing wrong in being a
State constable, but to act as spy or
secret detective and to move around
and pry into peoples private places
and offer inducements and lay traps to
get others to violate the law so that
they may be caught, is something re-
voting to our sense of freedom and
manhood and honest dealing. We do
not see how any honest, self-respecting
man can do it. Yet, however, we may
view it, there is no sense in unEecesss-
rily tormenting and insulting them,
and no good can come of it. Such
treatment and all these lawsuits will
only give the friends Of the Dispensary
az opportunity to 60 before the people
with an excuse for the failure of the
iNispensary to be the success its friends
claimed for it. But then they say it
was only some small boys who threw
the rotten eggs at Sumter. Well, even
small boys should not be permitted or
encouraged to do any such things. The
Herald and News Is no advocate of the
Dispensary or defender of the spies,
but we believe in fair dealing and the
giving of each man and every measure
an honest show and clear field. 1t is
the law, and as such should be re-
spected.
But Governor Tillman. it seems to US,
should not authorize his spies or con-
stables to shoot down any man or boy
who offers them insults. He should
use every proper measure in bis power
to have the law enforced, bat in doing
so be should not put IN the hands OF
men pistols, and instruct them to shoot,
unless it be in self defense.
We have been expecting and fearing
that this secret detective system would
result in bloedshed and the loss OF life
and it b, gins to look that way now.
We trust that it will not.
The Herald and News would like to
see the law given fair show, now that
it is the law, but this uncalled for treat
ment of the constables will give mate
rial for the campaign next year.

The Populists in every quarter are
making attacks on Mr.. Cleveland.
Some Of them are very silly and SANDER
Gus, but we suppose Mr.. Cleveland will
survive them as be did the resolutions of
Mr.. Latimerin the South Carolina May
Convention. We do not know what
Mr.. Cleveland may recommend in his
message, but we have never seen any
utterance of his which could be inter-
preted to mean that be did not endorse
the platform of the Democracy adopted
at Chicago. That, it seems to US, ought
to be the test of bis Democracy. Those
who do not endorse that platform
should bic themselves without delay
to the shades Of that party that has a
platform to suit them, and not be call
ing themselvea Democrats.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1893-08-09
scAHCELy CORRECT.

Some one has made the statement
that the next campaign will be be-
tween Butler and Tillruan, and they
will put their Fl Int on the Dispensary,
Tillman being tor the Dispensarv and
Butler against it. We do not believe
the statement is made upon the au-
thority of either of the gentlemen. If
these gentlemen make the canvass for
the United States Senate We do not be-
lieye that either one will be willing to
risk his chances on any local measure.
It would be silly 10 do SO. The Dis
pensary may play an important part
in the next campaign for State Offices,
but it can have nothing to do with the
candidates for the United States Sen
ate.
It is very strange what silly and un-
heard of rumors and reports some peo-
pie can originate. Senator Butler
would he very foolish to tie on to any
such measure, or 10 take decided
stand against it. He wants to deal
with National questions and not to
mix with our local fights either on one
side or the other.

TIE sTRINGENY ABOUT OVER.

Business in the last few days has
very much improved. During all tie
financial crisis through which the
country has passed, the South has
stood the test better than any other
section. Especially favorable was the
report Of the bank examiner on the
condition Of the national banks in
South Carolina. There has been only
one bank failure, and it has since re-
sulned business, aud it was not a ma
tional bank.
We have the bert country i'll the
world. We cau make here every thing
necessay to sustain life, aud with fac
tories to manufacture our own cotton,
there seems to he no reason why We
should not be happy Teople.
The white people of this State shou'd d
stop the quarreling and pickering
among themselves. The people at large
gain nothing by it. 1t is only stock in
trade for half-rate politicians, whose
only hope of success and office is in the
division of the people and the keeping
alive the passions and prejudices.
And we are sorry it is 80, but, never
theless, it is true, that many of the
newspapers are helping TO fn the
flames Of strife and thus keep the peo-
pie divided. We need to 60 along at
tending to our own business, following
the vocations Of peace and raising our
own hog and hominy and making
what cotton we can and We will be ill.,
dependent.
We must not expect too much IT Lief
from legislation.
"Times" are not near SO "hard' as
some people would ms ke you believe.
We get in the habit Of complaining
and it soon becomes part of our nature.
The money market has been close for
some weeks past, but they tell US now
that the crisis is over. The South has
not suffered near so much as other Sec
tons.

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 9, 1898.
SCHOOL history OF SOUTH CARO-
LIMA.


There has just been issued by the
Newberry Publishing Company a
School History of South Carolina
written and compiled by Mr.. Jno. A.
Chapman, of New wberry, S. &. 1t is
book Of 2S0 pages and is adapted for
use in the school room.
The story of the history of the State
is well told and all the leading events
are brought out in such manner as to
arrest the attention Of the student and
impress the facts upon his mind.
The study of the history of our own
State has been TOO much neglected in
our schools. In many cases no his
tory of our State is taught, and, as
consequence, when our young men
and women finish their college courses
they know more about Greece and
Rome than they do their own State.
In our school days we never studied
history of South Carolina. This
should not be thus. A study of our
own history should be given pTomi-
nence in all cur schools.
This book is nicely bound in cloth
and leather and will be sold at retail
for not more than one dollar per copy.
The printing was done in the office Of
The Herald and News, and we have a
number of copies on hand now. If any
one desires copy we will be pleased
to send postpaid on receipt OF one
dollar. 1t would be good book for
you to have even if you have grown
beyond the age of school life.

The balance Of trade for the fiscal
year ending June 80, is said to have
been 93,o00,OOO against US. At this
rate money will continue to be scarce
aad times hard, even if We have free

Some attribute this state of affairs
to the high tariff laws. Then let
them be changed and reduced, and
that speedily.
