Whoop up the Ctizens' Ice Manufacturing

is something badly needed in Sumter, and

lots of trade that she is entitled to and here

Wedge6eld, alone, during the past Summer
there was consumed raore than twenty-eight
,housaod pounds, (2s 900 lbs.) of manufac-

freight was paid from that city and passing
through Sumter, there was considerable saw
ing over buying in yonr citr, only 10 miles
away. We trust the new factory may be in
operation by the time the season opens again,
for ice has become necessity in the Summer:

swo-year-cld daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Commander, while going down the steps
back yards, as child Of her age generally
does, fell from the steps TO the ground aud
broke her right arm, almos, in the elbow
joint 1t is supposed that the fall was
caused by dog, which was 90 the steps
al the time.
Dr.. J. A. Mood was summoned at once,
and soon had the broken limb set and plaster
ed up The patient does not seem to be suf-
fering much pain.
Mr.. Commander was away at the time of
the accident to his child aud did not know of

THE sight of Saul among the
prophets was not more surprising
to the ancient Hebrews than was the
spectacle of Emmeluth among the
capitalists yesterday. He forgot 1.-The
People" entirely when he tried to
raise the property qualification for
Senators. Fortunately, however,
the friends of the people were too
strong for him. This alteration OF
Mr.. EmmeIuth's results from his
constitutional righteousness. The
maxim "Prove all things, hold fast
to that which is good" he converts
ih practice into "Kick on all things,
even on that which is good"

THINGS PHILOSOPHICAL.
The Class is Nearly Through the
Ocean of Them.

The class in TAeosophy has kept
up very assiduously it's work,
meeting every Sunday morning, SO
that it is expected to finish the
present text book, Judges ocean
of Theosophy," in the next two
meetings. The class work will
then be temporarily suspended
until after the arrival of an emil
nent Philosophical lecturer, Mrs.
M. Thirds of Chicago, who is ex-
pected on the next Austria ia. De-
tails of the projected lectures will
be made public in due time, but
from the reputation of the lee
turer, it can be said that a rare
treat is in store for all who may be
interested in Theosophy in this
town. The most earnest students
of the class have taken steps for
the formation here of a branch of
the Theosophical Society, to be
called the Aloha Branch. The
Philosophical libary continues to
improve, and the following works
have been received by late mails:
G. f. Wright's Outline of Mod
ern Theosophy; Waterdale's Re-
searches on Dynamics; DR.. J. D.
Bucks Study of Man and Way to
Health; j. w. Brodie Innes, The
True Church of Christ; FIR. Arun-
dale, The Idea of Rebirth; j. Mia
mand, Letters that Have Helped
Me; Fullerton's Wilkesbarn Let
tiers on Theosophy; A. Besant,
Theosophy and Its Evidences
Philosophical Forum; American
Sections Branch Papers; Things
Common to Christianity and Theo-
sopby; Answered Queries; The
Path for 1894; Borderland for
April The Golden Stairs and
Wonder Light, tales for children.
In connection with the Theoso-
phical library it must be noticed
that an Improvement in its man
agement has been realized, by the
fact that, instead of being opened
only a couple of hours three times
a week, access to it can now be OBJ
tanned at any time by applying to
Mr.. Marshall, at the Foster harness
store, Fort street.

Legislature il emIuently sound ana
uecessare, but it has no sppllca-
ton to offices of trust only. Pald
ofiicers should not sit in the Legis-
lature, because they are dependent
for their bread and butter on the
goodwill of the administration.
With unpaid officers, this relation
OF dependence does not exist, or, If
it exists at all, the relations are
reversed. The official who does
government work for nothing places
the Government under obligations.
He confers instead of receiving a
benefit How can his independence
as lawmaker possibly be impaired
by his official relations to the adj
mi1istration

ting out of the Legislature persons

ployers of labor they exercise great
influence, will apply with equal
force to bank presidents and plan
tation managers. Indeed it would
apply to them with much greater
force, for while the plantation man
ager can sit in the Legislature side
by side with his own employees,
the unsalaried Government officer
cannot do that.
In order to satisfy, therefore, the
scruples which Mr.. Carter and
Others feel on this subject, we
recommend to these gentlemen, as
the only safe and sure expedient,
the passage of an amendment ex-
ending from the Legislature all
persons who possess any influence
whatever. If any person supposed
to be harmless, develops any influ-
ence after becoming a member, let
him be expelled.

that his "notes of Hawaiian af-

pamphlet form, have swollen so "a
to require a book to hold them. 1t
Is advertised in the Boston papers
as "the latest and most reliable ac-
count of the situation at the Ha-

ably that the book will be tissue

tain Palmer is greatly taken with

him credit for these traits.

GOVERNMENT contractors ought
not to cit in the Legislature. The
truth of this proposition is disputed
In many quarters, but there is only
one argument against it which has
any real weight, and that is that
the enforcement of such rule in
conveniently limits the number of
persons who can stand for election.
At the same time there can be no
doubt that government contracts
In spite of every legal restraint,
offer a large field for favoritism
and corruption. With an honest
government these evils need not be
feared. Constitutional limitations,
however, like other legal limita
tons are chiefly intended to re-
strain those who are not honest.

AN UNREASONABLE CHANGE.

Article 40 of the Constitution
was made the subject of an ami
mated discussion in the Conven-
ton yesterday. The article as it
passed its first reading allowed
persons holding positions of trust,
but not of profit, under the Govern
ment to be members of the Legis-
lature, while excluding ell who re-
ceive either salary or fees. On
motion of Councillor Morgan, Sc
condeei by Delegate Carter, the
exclusion was extended to all
cffi,trs.
We believe this to be very ir-
rational change. The rule which
shuts out paid employees from the

THE Constitution is to be pro-
mulgated on the Fourth OF July.
J. w. Kalua proposes it, the cir
cumstances favor it, the Conven-
ton allows it. There does not
seem to be any demand in any
quarter for popular vote on the
instrument, while there is a gen.
eral consensus of opinion that the
Fourth of July offers too good an
opportunity to be lost. Let the
birthday of the Hawaiian Republic
fall on the great American ami
versary. We will always have a
double reason for rejoicing, when
the good old holiday CO mes around.
