A pertinent question in connection
with the South Carolina Dispensary
bill might be, What is its army Of
saloon keepers going to do after July
l? Will they emigrate to the Worlds
Fair city? Now that the State has ia
ken away the occupation Of the saloon
keeper, what is its duty toward him?
1t is unique situation, and one which
as Prohibitionists we should be only
too glad to welcome. Imagine, If you
can, the city Of Chicago entirely rid
of her seven thousand saloons In
agine her completely cleaned of the
seven thousand cyesores which infes,
her streetsl Imagine her suddenly
confronted with the question, what
shall we do with our saloon keepers
IL ever that time comes, may she be
equal to the emergency. Union Sig

A "PATERNAL GOVERNMENT. 4"

1t his address last week before the
| Patria Club in New York, Hon. John
Randolph Tucker used the following Ian
guage:
'Paternal government is a falsehood.
IL takes the paternal name to sanction
its absolute authority. and discards the
paternal duty In administering govern
ment. 1t IS only a father in name. and
is without natural love to mitigate
tyranny OF to do equal justice among its
people. 1t claims power TO rule without
resti aint, and TO dispense blessings or
cursings at its will. 1t has petted par
astes attached TO itself, that they may
feed upon II, end draws the resources
with which 10 supply them from The I'M
favored and disinherited mass, whom it
only eXhausts eEd never helps. 1t has its
foster children and its foundings, its
favorites and its victims, and burdens
the many for the benefit of the few"
This is admirably said, and every word
Of it is the truth. The great advance
which civilization has made since we
began TO emerge from the dark ages is
its progress in abridging government and
leaving people to do just as they please
so long as they respect all other persons
rights The function of government, and
the sole function Of government, is to
preserve order amongst the Ieople and
secure justice to each person, and, when
that is accomplished. government has
done all that 1t can properly do. Individ-
uals should be left alone. inside that
superintendent Of government. TO make
their trades and their bargains as they
please, unhampered and unrestrained by
legislative enactments that forbid Amerl-
cans to buy English CLOTH or Virginians
to put out their promissory notes. But
the intermeddling spirit Of the Puritan
will never allow this TO take place so
long as he is able to stick his finger in
another mans pie.

NORTHERN SNEERs AT SOUTHERN
IGNORANCE.

1t is the Yankees habit TO refer con-
stantly to the prevalence OF ignorance
amongst the people Of the South. while he
boasts OF the spread of knowledge which
his public free schools have given to his
people. The fact is that general and ac-
curate knowledge prevails all over the
TO be found amongst the people of the
North. Here is curious illustration OF
1t. The Baltimore Sun of Tuesday con-
tanned the following telegram:
MILTON, PA, Jan. ia batch Of
manuscript belonging to the late General
j. Irving Gregg, for many years a citizen
OF ..ewisburg. Pa. has just been found
1t includes a copy of the report of General
Gregg to General Mcclellan, when the
latter commanded the Army of the Poto-
mac.
General Gregg. who at the time was a
colonel. commanding a regiment, was de-
tailed as commander OF McClellan's out
post. and while occupying that position
he discovered that General Johnston, OF
the Southern army. was moving on Nc
Clellan's flank. He reported the move
ment 10 Mcclellan at once, but the Union
commander could not be convinced of the
accuracy OF Gregg's report, and therefore
did not take the precaution that he
should have taken.
Three days after Gregg submitted his
report Mcclellan found out that his SUBJ
ordinate ofiicer was correct. Johnston

LEE MEMORIAL SERVICES.

1t is a striking illustration Of the
earnest and serious nature of Southern
character. that Immediately after the
war; while the victorious North chose
for themselves a Decoration day." our
people called theirs a Memorial day"
A solemn requiem alone could give tx
preston to the feelings Of the Southern
heart.
And so we see that Lee Camp will to-
day celebrate the birthday OF our great
commander not by festivities. but by re-
ligious services at the Second Presby-
terrain church. This spirit of our people
does honor to our cause and TO our leader
1t was his deep religious convictions
which sustained him in his awful trials,
and added a halo to his unspotted name.

THtT "CONTEMPTIBLE YANKEE
TRICK"

The Dispatch asks us "how Is the SUI
to a knowledge that the tax on the issues
of State Banks is not laid to collect reve-
nue. but 10 suppress State Bank notes2'
We answer, by reason of the fact that
men, who do not need. when they see a
picture OF a horse. to be told that 1t is a
horses picture. in order 10 know that
fact. The tax is so heavy that, as mat
ter of course, no bank can pay It. Banks
will certainly charge all the interest they
can get, but they cannot get rate sufii-
GENTLY high to pay ten per cent. on the
loan to the Government, and have enough
left over to make profit for themselves.
There have been some men judges Of the
Supreme Court who did not know all that
is allowed to man to know, but there was
never one there fool enough not to know
this.
Now, when an act Of Congress is
brought before the Supreme Court of the
United States which, plainly, on its face,
is no use of a delegated power, but an
abuse of it. we believe the Supreme Court
will be found to have manliness enough
in 1t 10 say so. But whether it had it or
whether II did not, The Times would
never fail TO say II. The Times Will
never concede to Congress constitutional
power 10 accomplish a thing that 1t Is
forbidden by the Constitution to do UNI
der false pretense that 1t is doing an
other thing that it is given power to do.
The Supreme Court might pervert its
judicial power at pleasure by sanctioning
such an act as constitutional, but The
Times would never cease denouncing the
act and calling upon the people to change
the Constitution, IL necessary, so as to
make such an outrage on constitutional
law and common sense impossible.
We therefore repeat that the point
now made against the act has never been
made against It before the Supreme
Court, and that the decision II has made
cannot be held to be an authority against
It; but, if the court should decide the act
to be valid, we should none the less con-
tinue to argue that the Constitution for
bids II, and we should. therefore, urge
the people to demand of Congress that it
repeal 1t, as forbidden by the Constitu-
ton, hs every member Of Congress knows
to be the fact.

HON. RUTHERFORD II. HAYES.

The death OF Hon. Rutherford h.
Hayes leaves ex-President Cleveland the
| only living man who has ever filed the
exalted Office OF President OF the United
| States, but no man has ever lived-and
1t is hoped no one ever will-to I'LL that
| office under the same conditions as those
which surrounded Mr.. Hayes incuh-
bency. He occupied the White House as
President. though he was never eiecteu'
and he presented the anamoly, for the
first. and most likely only. time III
American history. of candidate ue-
feated at the polls. and yet given the
highest position In the gift OF the peo-
nile. in the face OF the popular verdict
and in defiance of the will Of the people.
How Mr.. Hayes succeeded In defeating
his opponent after his opponent had de-
feated him Is a matter Of too recent MS
tory TO need to be repeated. The inta-
nous scheme Of stealing the votes OF
the Southern States--of which Senator
William f.. Chandler is the unenvied
father-the carrying out of the scheme'
the appointment OF the to commission;
the dragging OF his ermine through the
cesspool of Radical politics by Justice
Bradley, of the u. S. Supreme Court, and
the subsequent Inauguration Of Hayes as
de facto President of the United States,
arc all Of such late occurrences as to be
familiar to every voter In the land. They
will never be forgotten for all together
they form the blacklist page Of American
history.
But Mr.. Hayes turned out to be bet
ter man than his party. He was the
first Republican occupant Of the Presi-
Dental chair who sought to restore peace
In the country and harmony between
the sections by Withdrawing the Federal
troops from the South, and he gave an
administration. which. though 1t fostered
rings and cliques formed to rob the
Treasury, such as the Credit Mobilier, for
instance, was angelic In its honesty COM
pared TO that of his predecessor. Grant.
and which though remarkable for moth
ing very striking, was gigantic in its in
tellectuality compared to the namby- pam
by, do-nothig one OF his successor, Chester
A. Arthur. That his conduct toward the
South was fully appreciated in this section
was shown by the sincere welcome he re-
ceived in Richmond when he visited this
city during the administration Of Gov
ernor Cameron.
The worst that can be said Of Mr.. Hayes
is that he was a receiver Of stolen goods
knowing them to haW been stolen.
Notwithstanding all his good traits Of
individual character his desire to restore
peace to a distracted land and do justice
to the down-trodden South; his patriotic
endeavor to advance the best interests
of his country, and to inaugurate a new
era of prosperity and good government.
this stigma will always be attached to his
name and he will go down to history
as the first man who reached the Presi-
dency through fraud. This will ever be
a cloud upon his reputation dark enough
to overshadow anything Of honor to
which his friends might otherwise de-
servedly lay claim.

DISTRIBUTION OF STREET FUNDS
A Proposition that Taxes be Made in Pro-
portion TO Improvements.
Editor Times

BIS proposition is that, under recent
decision of the court of appeals. distribu-
ton of street funds should be pro rata of
ward and taxes paid. This, however.
though the best under the circumstances.
is not the right system. The right sys-
TEN would be to have separate tax for
street improvement; not tax concealed
in the lump sum Of $40 a hundred. Thus.
estimated costs of keeping streets and
sidewalks in good order being so much
there should be a tax of so many mills
assessed upon the whole city. II a ward
needs no improvement. then that ward
should pay nothing additional for street
Improvement. II a ward needs improve
ment, its councilmen should decide what
improvements are necessary and estimate
the cost. The Council should then appro-
pirate the amount, and the property i'm
proved should be assessed it's pro rata
cost. to be added TO the tax-bill, and the
city at large should pay its pro rata. II
no Improvement. no tax; II improvement.
then tax. An Improvement sometimes in
Jures; IN this case the property injured
should be Unidentified
Until such a system OF street improve
ment is inaugurated, we must be content
with our present illogical and unsatis
factory mode. BY the way, our tax-bills
should itemize the $40 per hundred thus:
Police, courts, fire. water, interest, streets.
city hall, &c. so many mills each. As
well have a merchant render his bill I'm
lump sum every six months as the CITY
charge the lump sum OF 81. 40 per hundred
The people would then know what differ
ent departments cost. n
