Columbia would disband. Citizens are
arming and will stubbornly resist any
attempt of the constabulary to search
their residences. The governor has de-
clared Darlington and Florence coun-
ties in a state of instruction. He has
also ordered the railroad companies not
to transport any bodies of men unless
authorized by him, but the railroads re.
fuse to comply with such orders,
Citizens from all parts of the state are
flocking to Darlington to assist its
citizens In capturing the constables who
are in hiding in the hills. The situation
is grave.
LATER.-Sincc the above was written
affairs have quieted down to some ex.
tent, but the governor has yet big
contract on his hands. Without any
declaration of martial law i'm any part
OF the state, he assumed the control OF
railroads, took possession of the tele-
graphs, supervising all the dispatches
sent out, even rewriting some of them
with his own hand, and indulging in
other excentricites of dictatorial and
dcspotic character. For some of these
he is liable to he called to account. On
Tuesday Representative Grosvenor OF
Ohio introduced resolution calling fol-
an investigation of the governor in in.
terfering with the Interstate commerce
law while suppressing little rebellion
in his own state. Gov. Tillman's action
outside of those laws is a matter that
belongs wholly to the state of South
Carolina. But even as it stands it is a
large matter, and the investigation
should be thorough.

We find in the Iron Ore. Ishpeming,
several paragraphs respecting wages
at the iron mines. The Iron Belt mine,
lying few miles west of Hurley, has a
moderate force of men working. The
men on the surface receive rs cents per
day and the underground men $l.10.
The average at the Chandler last pay
day was 80 cents per day, inclusive of
every man at the mine, officers and all.
At the Champion, which is one of the
oldest and best mines in the state, aud
which has been idle for some months
past, the men, it is said, offer to go to
work for 70 cents, 81, and Sl.25. These
rates are just half the wages of year
ago. Democrat orators who went
through that country during the last
presidential campaign promised the
miners, in the event of Democratic
success, higher wages and constant en-
ployment, and all manner of prosperity
1t was terribly intolerable, the Republi-
can oppression under which the poor
miners were suffering; and very hope
full, very refreshing the Democratic
paradise in contrast! Well, they helped
open the gates of the Democratic
elysum and they bave got in. In fact,
we are all in, nilly willy. and we know
now how it is. The miners know SO
we'll how it is that they actually want
to get out, and Republican oppression
in the retrospect seems like the happy
days of yore.

The Poppy-Land Limited Express

The first train leaves at 6 p m.
For the land where the poppy blows;
The mother dear is the engineer,
And the passenger laughs and crows.
The palace car is the mothers arms,
The whistle a low, sweet strain;
The passenger winks and mods and blinks,
And goes to sleep in the train.
AT p. m. the next train starts,
For the poppy-land affair;
The summons clear falls on the ear
"All aboard for the sleeping car
But what is the fare to poppy-land
hope it is not too dear;
The fare is this, hug and kiss,
And it's paid to the engineer.
SO asked of Him who children took
On His knee in kindness great,
Take charge, pray, of the train each day.
That leaves at 8 and 8.
Keep watch of the passengers" thus pray,
For to me they are very dear;
"And special ward, o gracious Lord,
Ger the gentle engineer"

The thanks of the entire country are
due to the New York Bar association
for its intelligent and patriotic action
against election frauds and which has
resulted, largely through the instru-
mentality of the association, in thirty
nine convictions for cheating at cleo
tons. The Bar association appointed
a committee of four to ferret out the de-
linquents and bring them to justice.
They collected funds to pay counsel,
hunt up the evidence, and carry for
ward the reformatory work. United
action of that kind brings evil doors to
grief in hurry. Vigorous public senti-
ment behind good law makes it all
powerful. The trouble is that evil doing
is watchful, lurking, ever vigilant,
while reformatory action is apt to be
spasmodic. Every good citizen in the
land felt better when he learned of the
conviction of McKane. We haven't
ceased to rejoice yet over the downfall
and conviction of Tweed. We still point
to il with pride, although a whole gen.
Grafton has been born and grown to
maturity since the event occurred. But
here is the mystery: Why were Tweed
and McKane allowed to acquire their
unlawful power and to exercise it
through so many years without molcst-
atom There are some old saws that
are applicable here, about "an ounce of
prevention" etc. Certain il is II we
did not allow the growth and develop
ment of such stupendous frauds, we
should not have to make such stipend

SENATE
The Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions has reported favorably the fol-
lowing resolutions:
"ResolUed, From the facts and
papers laid before the Senate it is up-
wise and ineSpeuient, under existing
conditions, to consider at this time
any project of the annexation OF the
Hawaiian islands to the United
States. That the Provisional Gov
eminent therein, having been duly
recognized, the highest International
interest requires that it shall pursue
its own line Of policy. Foreign inter
Ventions in political affairs on these
islands would be regarded as al act
unfrieudly to the government of the
United States"
Turpie, who reported the resolution
on behalf Of the committee, said he
had been directed dy tho committee
to ask for Immediate consideration,
as it was the unanimous expression
of the committee except a dissent of
Senator Dolph TO the first clause.
Turpie further explained that the
resolution had no relation to the in.
vestigation being made by the COM
mittee.
Teller objected to immediate con.
sideration on the ground that it had
not been printed, and Mills gave
notice that whom it came up for con-
sideration he would ask for divs-
ion of the question, 30 the resolution
went over under rules.
The bill for the commission at the
Antwerp Exposition was presented
by the managers.
The Committee on Public Lands
authorized Pettigrew to prepare q
bill looking TO the payment of DANA
ges to settlers who were driven out Of

parks by order of the Secretary of
tho Interior, when those parks were
established.
In tho course Of the Hawaiian de-
bate this afternoon in the Senate
Senator Cullum made bitter and
sarcastic attack on the adminisJra-
ton, arraiGning it's policy as blundet-
ing, unpatriotic and bringing shame
to the nation, and declaring thut the

beel justified in treating Biount as
