On Top.

Gov. Tillman of South Carolina has
been most severely criticised for the
position he has taken on the liquor
question. While it is no fight of ours
Gov. Tillman is a democratl we com
mend him for his plucky stand The
liquor law was passed by the legisla-
ture. 1t was law of the state. Till
man, as governor, was sworn to exc
cute the laws of the state That is
what he did. Now this liquor law
rather limited and regulated the sale
of whisky to such an extent that
II curtailed the regular supply
which some of the red nosed bourbons
were wont to enjoy. If there is any
thing in the world that would make an
average bourbon democrat mad-we
mean one of the red nose variety-it is
to cut off his supply of whisky. First
the whisky men tried the case in the
lower courts and being defeated there
they carried it to the Supreme court.
As the judges of the Supreme court
were to all appearances not suffering
any Inconvenience from the law. they
were in no hurry to render decision.
The red nose fellows couldn't wait on
the slow process of law. They armed
themselves and undertook to override
the authority of the governor. But
Tillman was a fighter himself from
the head waters of bitter creek, and he
downed 'em. Now the Supreme court
has decided that the law is constitu-
tional and both Tillman and the law
are on top, and the red nose fellows
must buy their whisky of the state or

Japan Declines the Offer of President
Cleveland as Mediator. - s
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The state
department has received cable
reply from Japan, through Minister
Dun at Toxic, rejecting the United
States suggestion for mediation.
The message is in two parts, the
first giving imperial expression of
good will and saying that the success
of the Japanese army had been such
that China should approach Japan di-'
rectly. The second is more directly
from Minister Dun, and expresses the
view of the Japanese foreign office
that as China has no minister at To-
kio to submit a direct proposition. it
could be made by China through Min
ister Dun.
The cable to Minister Kurino is
substantially the same as the fore
going.

Bad Doctors.

The boards of trade which said that
the country was going to smash be-
cause we were getting $4, ,OO0, 900 per
month under the Sherman law were
false prophets; else the country would
have prospered after August, 1898,
when the cause of the trouble. the
Sherman law, was removed.
The statesmen who said the country
was going to smash because of the
ubiquitous tariff solely, Were false
prophets; else prosperity would have
followed the tariff reform" medicine
which the Clevelandites administered
in the shape of the Wilson-Gorman
bill.
The fact that times are worse now
than ever, shows that the remedies ap-
piled by the democrats were not those
demanded by the disease.

gin to consider the case from this
standpoint?-People's Party Paper.

China,s Peace onerinr.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA cable
from Hiroshima, Japan, where the
mikado has esta tablished headquarters,
states that China has intimated her
willingness to pay war indemnity
of 100, 600, 600 taels and, in addition,
to pay all the war expenses incurred
by Japan. AS the war expenses
reach $50, 600, 600 taels, the total offer
of China would be $50, 900, 900 taels.
The tael is a Chinese silver coin
worth about seventy five cents at the
present exchange, so that the whole
payment would be, approximately,
$175, 900, 900, American money. The
amount is regarded here as quite
large, and it is believed arrangements
between the two nations could be eff
fected on terms providing for small
er war indemnity.
