A CASE FOR. UNCLE SAM.
Il Little MIDDLE Over the POstoffice
at Daisy.

The Republican postmaster at Dali
sy, S. e. Stewart, this county, refus-
es to turn the Office over to the new
appointee, Mrs. Edith n. Schaffer.
The latter received her commission
Saturday and in company with her
husband, went to Mr.. Stewart and
Informed him that she had received
her papers and was ready to take
charge of the Office.
MIR. Stewart declined to recognize
her authority, therefore he is still
Licking stamps" and running BUSH
ness at the. Old stand.
Mr.. w. G. b. Schaffer, husband of
the new apDointee, was in Winston
today. lie had telegram sent to the
PostmaSter-Generala asking him what
steps his wife should take in order TO
take charge of the Office.
Mr.. Schatfer says that the Republi-
cans are as much incenSed at Stewards
acbion as the Democrats. They favor
a change in the administration of the
office which will be moved about one
half mile from its present location.
Mr.. Joseph Bodenhamer, IL Republic
can, went with Mr.. and Mrs. Schatfer
to the Office Saturday but Stewart
gave him orders to get out-and he
got. Mr.. Schaffer says he had to go in
and get Mr.. Bodeuhamer's m2il.
Mr.. Stewards brother carries the
mail from the office to the train and
he is as anxious DIS the postmaster to
hold his job-regardless of the oppo-
sition Of the patrons of the office.
Postmaster Stewart is the man who
was arranged at the last term of
court for striking his aged father.
"Uncle Sam" will evidently teach
him dear lesson about "monkeying"
with the government.
The office pays from 800 to $3.50 per
year.
Later-A telegram was received here
Monday from the postoffice depart
ment to Mrs. Edith n. Shaffer, the
recently appointed postmistress at
Daisy, this county. She received in
structions to take charge of the office
at once. A telegram was also sent to
5. e. Stewart, Republican, who de-
clined to turn the office over to Mrs.
Shaffer. Mr.. Stewart is instructed to
retire at once. 1t is presumed that
he will obey orders without further
trouble.

THE VETO.

President Cleveland has been con-
sistent in his views on financial mat
tiers and his veto of the Bland seign-
orage bill was to be expected, al
though there was some speculation
that he might do otherwise owing to
the length of time that he took to
consider the matter. The President
says in his message to Congress that
he would be glad to avoid disagree
ment with those who supported the
bill if he could believe chat the pub
lie good would not be thereby Ell
dangered." The President believes
that the bill would retard the coun-
try's movement toward renewed
prosperity. There seems to be some
uncertainty as to the meaning of
many parts of the bill.
President Cleve!and's veto disap-
points the South-that is to say
more than nine-tenths of the South
ern people. Wethink they may have
some hopes by reason of the closing
paragraphs Of the message which are
as follows:
''This leads me to earnestly present
the desirability of granting to the
Secretary of the Treasury a better
power than now exists to issue bonds
to protect our gold-reserve when for
any reason it should be necessary.
Our currency is in such a confused
condition and our financial affairs
are apt to assume at any time so
critical position that it seems to
me such a course is dictated by ordi-
nary prudence. l am not insensible
to the arguments in favor OF coming
the bullion seigniorage now in the
Treasury, and l believe it could be
done safely and with advantage if
the Secretary of the Treasury had
the power to- issue bonds at q low
rate of interest under authority in
substitution of that now existing and
better suited to the protection of the
Treasury. hope a way will present
itself in the near future for the ADJUST
ment of our monetary affairs in such
a comprehensive and conservative
as will accord to silver its
proper place in our currency; but in
the mean time / am extremely solicit
tous that whatever action we take
ON this subject may be such as to
prevent loss and encouragement to
our people at home, and the destruc-
ton of confidence in our financial
nanag ement abroad

WHERE THE SPIES ARE.
TilImaT VIII Not Dismiss the Troops
Until They Are Found.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 1.-The
Southern Associated Press and the
Augusta Chronicle agent came to Co
lumbia from Augusta yesterday to get
a fair statement of the disturbances
throughout the State. After getting
up his report, however, he found
troops inside and outside of the tele-
graph office. They refused to allow
his message to be sent, unless it was
read and revised by them.
1t was arranged to send special
train to Augusta to carry this news,
but in the meantime the agent had
persuaded the Governor to allow the
kilograms to be sent.
Gov. Tillman says he will not ais
miss the militia until these officers
are found, and the troops have been
sent to Darlington to search for them
and restore law there. The Governor
says he has a report that young Gail
lard. a constable, who was wounded
in the riot, was found in the swamp
suffering from his wounds, and that
he was shot and killed while in crit
ical condition.
The Governor received a telegram
at O'Clock that all was quiet at Oar
linston, but the troops had not arriy-
ed there at that hour.
In an interview the Governor said
that all the row has not been precipi-
tated because his constables, armed
with warrants, were authorized to
search private residences which were
turned into bar-rooms and contraband
whiskey kept, but it is due to the DO
litical luminosity of those who are OBJ
posed to him, and they only object to
the law because it is q good measure

He resented the interference that
he was in any way trying to make
campaign for the Senatership
against Butler.
Governor Tillman says there were
% consta5les at Darlington. Two
were killed, four have returned to Co

TROOPS LEAVE COLUMBIA.
They Go on a Special Train-3OO Vol
unteer Citizens Arrive.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April Eleven
companies of State troops left here at
5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon for the
scene of the disturbance. What is to
be done with them is d mystery.
General Richbourg, who is in coln-
mand, wonld not say anything about
his orders. The thirteen companies
were divided into two regiments and
colonel placed in command of each
regiment.
The troops went away on a special
train over the Atlantic Coast Line
road. Immense crowds Of people
were at the crossing at which they
boarded the train. Three companies
were left in the city. Three hundred
volunteer citizens, armed with all
manner of weapons, arrived shortly
after the departure of the troops, and
are ready to obey the orders of the
Governor. More companies and more
volunteers are to arrive. Nothing
can be heard from Darlington as the
company will not receive or send mes
sages to or from the Governor.

PENSION BUSINESS.

Public sentiment is again directed
to the Pension Office and the abuses
that have prevailed there. The New
York Times has been conducting a
little investigation into the condition
OF pensioners in the towns of Ogdens-
burg, WATERFOWL, Gouveneur and
Potsdam. The cases of $50 men
have been looked into, and their cir
cumstance5 ascertained. The men
in question are pensioners under the
act of June 81, 1890, which grants a
pension OF not less than SIS nor more
than $12 month to all soldiers
who served ninety days and were
honorabiy discharged, who may be
suffering from a mental or physical
disa bility of a permanent character,
not the result OF their own vicious
hatits, which incapacitates them for
the performance OF manual labor in
such degree as to render them IN
able to earn q support"
Investigation shows that some of
these men, receiving from Sc to $l2
per month are working in machine
shops, piliog lumber in lum ber-yards,
digging sewers, working as cGrpen-
tiers at full wages and carrying on
farms of from so to 400 acres. The
amount of pension granted had no
apparent relation 20 the degree of
disa bility. a stcnemason working
full time was found to be getting as
much as a man that was insane or
helplessly crippled. An old man of
seventy-six years, with brain disease
was getting $12 a month, to which
he was clearly entitled under the law
His son, who was found pilirg heavy
| lumber, was getting the same
| amount, to which he was clearly not
| entitled.
How long are these abuses to con-
| tinue? The pension office has been a
source of scandal Tor twenty years,
excepting during the administrations
of President Cleveland. And vet in
every campaign there has been a lot
| of manufactured sentiment for re
warding those "who fought to save
| the Union" In the same way a lot
of sentiment is worked up against
the South by those politicians who
find they can get favor, applause OF
Office by appealing to the memories
| of the war.

a Dynamite Bomb Used on the Dis

COLUMBIA, s. c., April 3.-The end
of South Carolina's war, it appears,
has not come yet.
An attempt was made this morning
to destroy the dispensary at Charles
ton by the explosion Of dynamite
bomb.
No details can be given as Governor
Tilman still controls the telegraph
wires. 1t is She general belief, how
ever, that the parties were unsuccess-
full in their efforts to destroy the
States grog shop.
The military companies still have
complete control of the telegraph
office at Darlington, and allow no
messages of a sensational character to
go out.
COLUMBIA, S. c., April 3.-3 p. 1n.--
Tillman addresses the troops and VOL
unteers, declaring that the law should
be obeyed. He will take control of
the police of every town and com pei
them to enforce the law. Great ex-
citemcnt continues.

SAYS. the Durham Globe: 1.-THE
most beautiful region that nature
has provided east of the Rocky
Range is our mountain country.
There the mountains rise higher, and
the sky is bluer and nearer. There
the streams are more limpid, the
waters more crystalline than in any
other region. Here, if anywhere is
the place for great pleasure ground.
The national Yellowstonepar is too
far away for the people of the east
ern states. Let us have a national
park in the east, and let it be where
nature is graDdest and most glor-
ious." With the press of North Car

purpose and our delegation in Con-
