who Tainted.

Politics are SO funny. In the first
net of that little drama in Wasbinp.
ton last week, the newspapers had it
that Gov. Tillman tainted; in the next
net Senator Irby tainted.
1t will he remembered by somc of
the friends aud opponents of the
present Easley and Pickens oad, that
when that enterprise was tho NIL
absorbing question l'ofore the county
commissioners, and three days had
boon consumed in hearing testimony
and every inch of advantage was be
ing hotly disputed by opposing coun

If We did not have to answer &c
many civil md excusable questions
about the prospects of the railroad
there would be nothing srid about If

be allowed to show for itself when
done. 1t has been said tho rond
would be completed in 90 days, and
that it never would be completed. We
never have accepted either statement
rs strictly true. We still have enough
confidence i'll the enterprise to spend
some time and money on it. It's sta.

The Peoples journal should not

Some of the conservative papers aro
complaining about SO many lawyers
trying to ride on the reform move.
mcnt. Don't bother. Just let them
ride. They'll ride any movement you
can start. If it won't tote double,
some other fellow must walk and lead.
He'll do without his dinner and many
other things that he would enjoy

Glorious Achievements.

The Ensley Democrat, like many
other reform newspapers, is afraid
tle conservatives will injurc them
Selves by crlticizing the administra-
ton. 1t marched up tho hill and
m lrched back down the hill in recit-
ing the achievements of the royal
Ute government, but it overlooked
t,o msst important statement to those
who do not hold Office, and that is the
great reduction in taxes by reducing
the number Of Offices, and curtaiiinp
government expenses generally. This
was the key noe of tho Shell mani
festo, and that good man is now in
Washington weeping over the prnsti-
tuition Of the sacred document to mere
political purposes. Show how raising
the assessments on the railroads and
crushing Coosaw has lowered the
taxes on the farmers, md killed off
tho government pap-suckcrs. The
Democrat should not get its dates
mixed on tho facts of history, in its
lautlable cff.rts to mix tho factions
Itis customary for the organs to claim
all the honor of establishing Clemson
College, but the munificcnce of old
man Clemson was accepted by the old
ring rule crowd, and the college foun-
ded, directed and managed by some
of the deepest dyed conscr, atives the
State afforded. But it is q little too
early in the conflict for either side to
claim anything on this score. If they
will keep politics out Of it and direct ii
purely for the interests Of the people
and make it q blessing to the State,
Clemson should have all the honor Of
founding it, and tho trustees and
faculty the praise for making it sue
. cess. But rcfprmcrs, farmers Alliance
men and mechanics, without dicker
ings and chickering's about politics
would like to read some of tho reform
promises in their tax receipts.
