Has Followed the South Carolina Dl

Has Followed the South Carolina DIspen-
sary Law.
COLUMBIA, s. c., May S.-The South
Carolina .dispcAsary law now gives way
to rigid prohibition. The supreme court
so declared Tuesday IN announcing it's
decision IN case from Florence asking
for an injunction to restrain the city
council from granting licenses for selling
liquor, on the ground that there is no
law authorizing the granting Thereof
In its decision the court says that un-
der the law as it now stands there is no
authority invested with the power to
grant licenses for the sale of liquor in
this state, and hence the act of tine city
council in granting snch licenses is void
and the court therefore grants the in
junction. The court also refused mo
ton for the discharge of a man named
Brunson, who was arrested in Florence
for selling liquor without license
The court says that the dispen sary act
of 1892 having been declared unconstitu-
tional in all its provisions except that
forbidding the granting of LICENSES to
sell liquor after a certain date, the re-
pealing clauses of the act must be re-
garded as if never enacted, aud hence
the previous law Forbid ny tlls sale of
liquor without license must remain in
force.

The changes to be made in the
present tariff bill, as nearly as can
be learned at the present time, is a
change from a specific to an ad va
lorum duty on sugar, limit placed
upon the operations of the income
tax, slight advance in the schedule
on iron and a slight increase on
carpets. Aside from this there will
be no change in the senate bill, ex-
cepting a return, in many cases, to
rates fixed in the house bill. The
tariff on lead ore, iron ore and coal
will not be changed and wool will
remain on the free list. These
changes assure cordial support on
the part of all the Democratic sena-
tors, and puts the bill in a position
to be passed within few weeks,
unless Republican senators make
an effort to delay action. That the
bill will pass, there is not the least
doubt, and the thousands of Repub-
licans, whose business is at a stand
still, will not forget the men who
prevent speedy action.

Marne COUNTY ror Canehart.

If the report that Judge Harvey
will not be a candidate for Con-
gress, proves well founded, Wayne
county will be practically unani-
mously for James Capehart. The
course of Mr.. Capehart in Congress
has the hearty Endorsement of the
solid Democracy of Wayne county.
The close attention that he has Civ
en- to his official duties, the fidelity
exhibited by him to the interests of
the people, the unfaltering manner
in which he has stood up and advo-
Gated and voted for the laws and
measures that his constituents want
ed, even at the risk of losing favor
in the eyes of the Administration
has won for him the admiration of
all Democrats. He has not cast
single vote that the Democrats of
his district, who are in perfect SYM
pathy with the platform, can criti-
else or would have him to change.
His magnificent record coupled with
his known availability as a eandi-
date, makes him the logical as he
would be the invincible candidate of
the party. To pass by a man who
has been thoroughly tried and in
no respect found wanting; to alien
ate the sympathies of tho Populists,
when they offer to unite with the
Democrats in supporting a man in
whom Democrats themselves, after
thorough test, can find no fault; TO
barter away sure thing for an un-
certain experiment, is a folly that
the Democrats of the Fourth Dis.
trict are not likely to be guilty off in
year of political uncertainties like
1884, wayne Ners.

Deserted by Their Friends.

All protests against caring for
the Coxeyites come with very bad
graces from the Republican press.
The party which has for years been
Systematically plundering the nat
ional treasury; which has built up
mushroom factories and enriched
their owners on the money wrung
from the pockets of the people;
which, by its own vicious legislation
in the interest of classes, has i'm
poverished the masses and finally
thrown thousands of them out OF
work entirely, now utters its protest
against assisting them. The very
ones who 10 the last campaign cried
out the loudest for protection to
the poor working man are now the
first, when opportunity is afforded.
not only to refuse to help them,
but to berate those who do. That
press which has encouraged by its
voice, and by the presence of its
owners, the visits of protected man
ufacturers to demand of Congress
legislation by which the profits OF
the rich have been Increased, is now
the first to deny the rights of labor
ing men to make their own appeal
to Congress for legislation favor
able to them They may be wrong
in their idea of what will better
their condition. They may ask for
laws forbidden by the Constitution,
for laws which would throw the
country into a worse condition
if possible-than those enacted
in compliance with the demands of
the last intimidating gang which
sought class legislation. They are
on a foolish errand. They have
sought the wrong road to reform
And yet they have tho right to
present their appeal. They have
the right to travel peacefully
through the country. They have
as much right in Westinghouse,
in the capitoI-as any iron maker,
or any other manufacturer, who
spent whole weeks there intimid-
ating Congress until the Mckinley
bill was framed. Those who en-
eouraged that invasion of the CAPT
tai should not deny the right of
any honest man to follow the ex-
ample given him by such eminent
Iy respectable intimidators as those
who framed the present tariff law.
The Coxeyites are doing only what
they have been taught to do by the
Republicans and now their teachers
should help them out and not desert
them in the hour of Reqister.

"a .Editor "a "a RedisLer.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-The speedy passage of a
Democratic tariff billion the general
lines of the Wilson bill, and APPROX
ed by the Finance Committee of
the Senate, the President and Sec
rotary of the Treasury, was settled
and agreed upon in caucus this
evening with but one, dissenting
Democratic vote.
The bill compromises conflicting
judgments to some extent but main
tains about the general average of
duties of the Wilson bill, somewhat
differently distributed, and will, if
passed, be accepted by the country
as a sound Democratic measure of
reduced taxation under which bust
ness will speedily revive.
The bill will also retain the
income tax, with its inquisitoriaI
features modified.
Great satisfaction is expressed at
the result of the agreement.

COLUMBUS, o., May s.--Evidences of
the growing scarcity of coal are so num-

has ceased to take note of them. Any
one knowing anything about it, and will
admit the truth, must say that the pro-
duction of coal is practically stopped
now. and the miners hold the key TO the
situation.
The railway companies are seizing the
coal that is ON their lines for shipment
and appropriating it to their own use.
This is no new thing, however. Rail
roads have always done it. They as
sumo thu responsibility, and will, of
course, pay all damages accruing from

that it was readily granted them.

NEW YORK, May e.-During the past

patches announce importantne gotiations
held in Paris, between the representa-
tiyes of THE STANDARD Oil interests and
the Russian oil companies, resulting IN a
division of the entire worlds market be-
tween these two great distributing and
producing agents.
The Standard Oil company is to
have the monopoly, it Is said, of the
British islands, France, and most of tho
western portion of Europe, Including a
part of the German empire. The Rus
sian companies will probably be unmo-
Tested by competition east of this divid-
ing line, and make their own market for
the vast territory of Asia. The Russian
companies have g,:ined rapidly for sew
eral years in China, India and Japan,
and are now doing considerable more
than one-half of the business of these
countries

ASHLAND, May s.ZNone of the miners
of this section will resume until the big
strike is settled, as the Straight Creek
men armed themselves Sunday and
vowed to keep all out. There are nearly
1900 men concerned, and all are deter
mined. The effect logically cannot but
lie disastrous. If the strike lasts more
than a week both Ashland coal and iron
furnaces may be compelled to shut
down. The Norton iron works can not
resume, and the steel plant will not
risk it.

This is a happy fact for the Democ

the latter if all Republican conven-

indianapolis. If tho Republican
leaders had the wit to abandon
protection, now that the people see

carry the country. But they learn

demand what they voted for then,

There seems to be more diversity
of opinion on the currency question
than that of the tariff. The silver
ties say that the free and unlimited
coinage of silver would in time
