THE PASSING OF GEORGE
WASHINGTON.

George Washington Murray, the
most conspicuous member Of the South
Carolina delegation 10 Congress, proved
to be the vicarious sacrifice to the ambi-
ton of Dr.. William Stokes.
Poor George, we pity him, for be
vas good reformer, in his way. He
was given seat in Congress by the re-
formers over Gen. Noise, aud bad just
become used to the enjoyments Of
Washington life when it was suatched
from him.
The re-districtipg law did it, and
George Washington did no. recognize
it as the club that was to crack his bead
until the election was over He ap.
peared to welcome the law as a scheme
for his special benefit. He kissed the
rod that smote his voolly locks
In pursuance Of the plan he removed
his residence from "Millbrook- on
Rafting Greek. Sumter County, to
Charleston, 80 as to reinforce his gas
pipe cinch on the bailiwick provided for
him by bis friends in Columbia. He
believed that be had votes at his back
as numberless as the sands of the sea
shore, SO bad no hesitation in bravlug
the very battlcments Of the battery.
In the meanwhile the old Seventh
was transformed iuto something new
and strange, aud sealed. signed and

reformers in the General Assembly
During his first term he introduced a
bill providing for a new election law
embodying the Australian ballot sys-
ten, but this was side-tracked by the
Reformers, who do not take kindly to
reform, that is 10 the line of good
government. In this session he has re-
Hewed the fight for the Australian sys-
ten, and if the State of South Carolina
does not have an election law that will
prevent fraud and secure an honest ex-
preston of the voice of the people in all
elections it will not be the fault of Mr..
Manning and the delegation from Sum-
ter County.

The stand he has taken respecting the

man. We have never had any patience
with the writer Of open letters of the
Perry stamp, because it is species of
bushwhacking. Senator Buffers con-
nection with the Perry letter has low
cred him in the esteem of many people
who bad held on to some little respect
for him. The bushwhacking tactics OF
Perry, Caughmau and Butler are dis
graceful and will strengthen Ben Till
man With the masses rather than injure
him. Senator Butler has run his
course, and at the end casts a shIdow
over his career by grasping eagerpess
to keep an Office at any hazard. We
can never be accused Of Tillmanism,
therefore we have no hesitation in ex-
pressing preference for Tillmao be-
tween the two.

If there is not p very great change

The frequency Of train robberies will
eventually cause the railroad COM
panies to place an armed guard on
every train that carries money 10 large
amounts. When this is done and few

fewer hold.ups.
The defeat of the bill to reduce the
rate of interest to seven per cent. is
good thing looking at it from one stand
point. The banks have to pay the
Northern banks six per cent for all the
money they use, and consequently
could no: afford to lend again at seven
Der cent. It was said that the banks
would have refused to lend at seven per
cent, and the people who have been
obtaining money from the banks would
have been forced to return to the factor
for advances or the lien system. This
would have been serious blow to the
very class the reduction in interest was
Intended to benefit.
We would like to know bow many
farmers have written to the Baily-Leb-
by Company in reply to their inquiry
concerning the advantages in the way Of
material for starch making this section
can offer. We greatly fear that no one
has had the energy to reply to an inquiry
of such great importance And that is
lust the trouble with this whole section.
We all sit down aud complain and
whine about hard times, aud the lack
of diversified industries, get when there
Is an opening for something better in
stead Of meeting the opportunity we still
cit down and whine. We want every.
thing to be brought to Us, and this will
never be done No improvement in the
condition of this section need be expected
until the people exhibit more interest in
industries that seek a location in our
midst.
The metropolitan police scheme, re-
vived yesterday by Mr.. Wilson's bill
in the Senate, will do more to keep
alive the feeling Of bitterness aud hate.
upon which TiIlmanism has fed and
prospered for four years. than any de-
vice that could be made use of. It is a
species of Capitalization that is too
closely akin to tyranny to be acceptable
to those who have a real4Dd intelligent
knowledge Of the principles Of re-
publican form Of government. Those
people who have taken pains to inform
themselves in regard to the principles
Of democratic liberty will never admit
that the absolute sway of the majority
is consistent with justice and liberty:
The greatest tyrants have been support
ed by the brute force Of the majority,
and we're we to admit that the tyranny
Of the men set over Us by the majority,
or that the tyraunical laws enacted by
the representatives Of the majority was
consistent with democratic liberty
simply because it was the will of the
msjority. We would contradict and give
the lie to one of our frmest beliefs.
The metropolitan police scheme may be
adopted and may be declared constitu-
tional aud all that, just as the dispeD-
sary law was, but it will be violation
Of the principles Of our government,
and no legal enactment of the majority
can make it anything else
