General Butler Explodes a Bomb.

After filing his pledge 10 abide the result OF
the Democratic primaries, Senator Butler has
Withdrawn the same, an account Of which we
publish elsewhere.
OF course Senator Buffers friends must
know that he cannot be elected by Democrat,
lc votes.
The United States Senator Is elected by the
General Assembly, and 1t is not TO be expect
ed that other than Democrats will control the
next Legislature.
Senator Buffers only hope Of accomplish.
ing anything must be In contest before the
United States Senate.
The anti.Tillman faction refused to vote fol
Haskell in 1890, and 1t is not to be supposed
that any considerable number Of white men
will vote for Butler representatives In the
General Assembly.
The Press and Banner expects To support
the Democratic party forever, and having
voted in the primary yesterday, We are bound
to support the nominees Of the party.
We have no such fears, as expressed by the
Register, that bloodshed will result because ol
Buffers act. AS far as we are informed, no
body in this county Is 80 extremely anxious
to re-elect him Senator, as to induce blood
shed or murder.
Boilers will find poor comfort In old Able
Vile, where the people abide by the laws o.
the State, and comply with the rules OF theil
political party.

The Public Printing.

Recently the act appointing public printer
Las been discussed by the politicians In Co.
umbia.
We have not read the arguments pro and
con. except the editorial In the Register.
That paper argues, we think. from wrong
standpoint.
Viewing the matter as we do. the question
ls not altogether one of cheapness, and again.
1t is not altogether one Of promptness and per
fection Of work.
We con tend that the office OF public printer
Is one to be given TO the winning political
party or faction who may rule the State for
the time being, just as the Office Of governor
is given.
We see no reason for adopting different
method for securing public printer than is
taken for securing keepers for the penitentia-
~, or the asylum, or for securing professors
for the colleges, or for assessing the property
and collecting the taxes.
If the State should adopt the method OF let
ting out It's public offices to the lowest bidder.
the plan would be only slightly different
from the old plan OF selling the Offices Of hon
or to the highest bidder.
The Press and Banner believes that fair
pElCc OO ooSooiiohOoB odo eAeo W. S>S>
victors belong the spoils.
Especially is the office OF public printer an
important one. More than any other officer,
might his work, or lack OF work, affect legis-
lation. For this reason, we believe the public
printer should be in hearty sympathy with
the party in power.
Let Mr.. Salvo have the printing now. Els.
tablish the precedent. Then when the newer
element or the older one gets in power, take II
from him, and give 1t to the printer who IL
In sympathy with and thoroughly identified
with the party then in power.
There isin the fight, as now made. absolutely
nothing that we can see worthy Of notice OF
the serious attention OF anybody, unless 1t be
that the price is below living or remunera
tive figures.
The United States government owns, al
w Washingtop, the largest printing establish
ment in the world, employing several thou
sand printers, pressmen. book binders. GO
This huge establishment is as much subject
to political changes as the treasury or post
Office departments, the Public Printer always
being selected from the political friends Of
the President.
