A Dig at the Reglst or,

Editor Register: Your report Of the
Spartanburg meeting in today's issue
of The Register Is very meagre, but
there Is enough In it to call forth q few
remarks from me.
You report that Congressman Nc
LauriD said that he would support
Governor Tillman only conditionally,
quote the whole paragraph: "Gantt
tried to claim that this was not q di-
rect answer, but the crowd evidently
concurred In the opinion that McIIau-
rim was right in saying that Tillman
ought only to be supported just 80
long as he stuck to the principles OF
the farmers movement and no longer,
and commended his position of refusal
to say he would blindly support Till.
man without any reference to his prin-
ciples."
Now, Mr.. Editor, you have every
reason to believe that l am without
prejudice. [ have no word of ondem.
nation for any true reformer. I have
never had. My Judgment is that Nc
Laurin and Shell had better have
| STAYED away from Spartanburg.
Your report Of what they said is very
damaging to the Register. There js no
way Tor you to get out Of 1t. You
have committed the Register to Shell
and McLaurin. Well. my opinion Is,
we will not go with you.
The idea of a man like McLaurin or
Shell making conditions to Tiliman
Fhe thing Is absolutely absurd. If any
one of these gentlemen had said that
he favored Butler as against Tillman I
would not have had word to say.
That Is their right. TO put conditions
to their support of Tillman is silly,
compromising and treacherous.

There was considerable excitement
around the Greek American candy store in
the Mahaney block this morning. The
gasoline tank of the peanut rooster ex-
ploded and started quite blaze. Some
people thought of ringing the fire alarm,
but Officer Brickel and D. j. Mahaney did
not think it necessary and dubbed the
flames iuio submission in II few minutes.
A large number of petitions from resi-
dents of this section of the city asking for
change of grade, sidewalk ands other i'm
provements were referred to the road
board at the meeting of the court of COM

people are alive to their interests and intend
to make every possible effort to secure i'm
provements. The petition asking for a
sidewalk from Porter street school to Fifth
street was largely signed.
d. J. Mahaney took advantage of the
fine morning and dull times and engaged a
plumber of the boys to trim tree in front
of his property on Bank street. John
Koran climbed up among the limbs of the
tree and commenced to saw off some of the
branches. He lost his balance and fell down
onto the tin roof of the building, striking
with great force against Charles Conroy,
who tried to catch Koran and save him
from injury. Conroy was badly shaken up
but Koran escaped uninj ured.

CAUGHT Al LAST.
Embezzler Wiltshaw EVaded Arrest For
Almost Three Years.

BUFFALO, March 6-Henry c. Wiltshaw,
alias Harry G. Watkins, was arrested here
by United States Marshal Watts on a war
rant charging him with having appropri-
ated to his own use various sums of money
when he acted as individual bookkeeper
for the United States National bank in
New York two years ago. Wiltshaw left
the employ of the bank in August, 1891,
and his stealings were discovered a month
later.
On Sept. 1, 1891, an indictment was found
against him by the United States grand
jury of the court of the southern district of
New York. A warrant for his arrest was
placed in the hands of United States Mar
shall Jacobus of that district, but despite all
efforts of the marshal, who was assisted by
superintendent Byrnes, Wiltshaw success
fully evaded all efforts to locate and arrest
him. A few weeks ago the assistance of
the Pinkertons was asked.
Wiltshaw came to Buffalo about 10
months ago and registered at the Genessee
hotel, where he has since resided. He made
the acquaintance of some poolroom men
who lived there and soon went into the
business. Hs acted as capper for a

into bucket shop and worked there for
time. He was as much of a rounder as q

A New York tailor struck up an ac-
Guaintance with Il local politician, and

The tailor did not see s.lc point. Did
you not say anything to him about max

Malice and Superstition.

In the middle ages malice and super
stition found expression in the forlna-
ton Of WAX images of hated persons,
into the bodies OF which long pins were
stuck. 1t was confidently believed that
in that way deadly INJURY would be
done to the person represented. This
belief and practice continued down to
the seventeenth century. The super
stiticn indeed still holds its place in
the highlands of Scotland, where, y
SAYS a well informed writer, within
the last few years clay model of an
enemy was found i'll a stream, having
been placed there in the belief that as
the clay washed away so would the
health of the hated one decline. New

We have been often told that "a little
learning is IL dangerous thing, and we
may be just as we'll assured that a little
bread is not the safest of all things. 1t
would be far better to have plenty of
both, but the sophism of those who use
this argument is that they represent the
choice between little a1d much, whereas
our election must be made between little
and none at all. If the choice is to be
made between small portion of infor-
nation or of food and absolute igno-
rance or starvation, common sense gives
its decision in the homely proverb, Half
a loaf is better than no bread. New

MAYOR ON HIS MUSCLE.


Big Row on In Denver's Municipal Cir
cleS.
DENVER, March 6.--The city hall was
thrown into the greatest excitement over a
row between Mayor Van Horn and Street
Commissioner Thomas Foulkes, which re-
suited in the mayor bodily throwing the
commissioner out of his Office and ordering
him to never enter it again until he could
obey orders.
The trouble was over the discharge of
Street Sprinkler Van Court by Foulkes,
the former being friend of the mayor.
The mayor claims that Van Court is a COM
petent officer and has been discharged upon
demands from the American Protective as
sociation. The mayor was at one time Il
member of this association, but was eX-
PEELED because he appointed Catholic to
the position of inspector of police, and this
trouble seems to be continuation of this
affair The mayor appears to have the best
of the fight and will undoubtedly reap
point Van Court.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The senate held
a short session, and but little business of
Importance was transacted. A brief de-
bate on silver was precipitated by the in
tention expressed by the vice president to
refer the Bland seigniorage bill, which had
just been received from the house, to the
finance committee.
Mr.. Stewart of Nevada opposed this dis
position of the bill and asked that it be
allowed to lie on the table subject to being
called up at any time. This was finally
ordered. Mr.. Stewart at the same time
offered free silver amendment to the bill
The only other event of interest was the
offering by Mr.. Morgan of resolution
looking 70 the appointment of tariff COM
mission, which he offered as an amend
ment to the tariff bill. A number of bills
of minor Importance were passed. The
McGarrahan bill was taken from the calen-
dar, but went over on objection from Mr.
Morrill,.
The senate spent about an hour in execu-
tive session, a part of which time was con-
sumed in discussing the fitness of George
Truesdell to be commissioner of the Dis
trict of Columbia. His connection with
the trolley railroad system of this city was
made the basis of some criticism of the ap-
pointment, but he was confirmed without
division.
Several of the Illinois nominations were
also confirmed, the only one of the more
important which was not acted upon being
that of d. P. Phelps to be subtreasurer of
Chicago 1t is understood that Mr.. Phelps
desires time for the arrangement of his
private business affairs before assuming
office, and this is given as the reason why
his nomination has not yet been consid-
cred.
The debate on the pension appropriation
bill continued all day in the house, and at
times considerable spirit was displayed.
The principal speakers were Messrs. Dolli-
yer, Hepburn, Enloe and Cannon. 1t is ex-
pected that the debate will be concluded
today.
