THE PRESIDENTS VETO

President CJEvELAND's veto of the
BLAND Seignoirage Bill has caused
much unfavorable criticism In the
Southern and Western States and
threatened with disruption the par
ty he represents.
His main objection is that to coin
all OF the silver bullion in the Treas
ury and thereby secure the seignoir-
age thereon would be to initiate the
currency and TO further increase the
severisb condition In the money
market.
1t would tend to disturb the parity
between silver and gold, and the con
sequences might be disastrous TO the
nations interest.
The President states very plainly
howeve r, that he would sign such G
bill as the one just vetoed, provided
it was properly drawn up and also
gave the authority for the issuance
by the Secretary of the Treasury o
sufficient bonds for the replenishinf
of the gold reserve. The present COZ
dition of the country requires the at
tention of the most skillfuI financierl
who are also imbued with a patriots
love of country.
We regret TO say that Mr.. CAR
Isle has demonstrated his incapa
city In the position to which he hal
been assigned and it will be a Ions
time before the country will again b.
burdened with an off cial who's
knowledge of finance is elementar,
while his desire for spoils is abnor

that the three colored substitutes

The recent outbreak at Darlington,
s. c., over the effort of the state OF
ficials to enforce the obnoxious dis.
pensary law is not at all surprising
to one who has paid any attention
to the history of this state. These
people have been taught to regard
lightly their obligations made to
maintain and support the national
government, and this very doctrine
has borne fruit which will tend to
open the eyes of the average conser-
vative South Carollnian to the dan
ger involved.
When state troops can with impu-
nifty refuse to obey the orders oil
their commanding officers and dis
band in the face of a grave crisis,
without inviting severe and summa-
rypunishmen tit becomes plainly ap-
parent that the state government is
too loosely constructed and may 60

and caprices OF these men so decree.

There Is far more danger In The

to large extent encouraged by the
same Governor who Is SO forward

lynch-law. He it was who sent al
