The political situation outside of Sum
ter County is worse muddled now than
il vas las: week, at which time it was
bad enough. The true democrats are
more divided in policy than at any time
since 1890. Some demand the nom'-
nation Of a full State ticket and Legis-
;ative tickets in all the counties; others
demand the reorganization of the par
ty and a fight for the Legislature, still
Others demand the reorganization OF
the party at once without reference to
the policy to be pursued at the election.
The convention on the 18th will no;
be able to accomplish anything and we
believe it is mistake to carry the move
ment any farther in the present divided
condition of democratic opinion. II
those who demand the nomination OF
a ticket prevail in the convention the
chances of democratic success in 1870,
will be greatly lesseDed. 1t will split
our own ranks, and what We want is
unity. The fight has been sairked
until it is too late. In this county the
situation causes little worry. We have
made our 6ght in politics. and have now
gone to work 10 q business way. There
has been no call for county conven-
ton, and the prospect Of there being
convention is very slight. The people
of Sumter County are in almost CON-
plete accord With the policy laid down
last week by the Wotchnsan and Seath-
ron. Our fight was flushed on
Anonst 28th.

immediate control OF the revenue cutters,
permission for it's representative to go on
board the Corwin. The Secretary did not
seem aware of any reason why the request
should not be granted and prepared a tele-
graphic order to the commander of the Cor
win directing him to permit the person who
might be designated by the San Francisco
newspaper to go on board the cutter. AS
he was about to deliver the order it oc-
CURED to him that perhaps he had better
ascertain IL II would be agreeable to the
President, and he requested the applicant
to call again in an hour. On returning the
Secretary informed him that 1t was the
Presidents order that no person should be
permitted to go on board the Corwin. The
incident shows that the President himself
had issued orders to the captain of the cut
ter over the head OF the Secretary of the
Treasury. as OF course he had a right to
do, but 1t was an extraordinary thing to do.
If the Secretary had granted the request, as
he came very near doing, there would have
been another family in the Cabinet.

Senator Turpie will address the Senate
to-day on the resolution introduced by him
on Monday relative to the Hawaiian ques-
ton. Following is the resolution:
Resolved. That from the facts and papers
laid before us by the executive and other
in accordance with the character and dig
nifty OF the United States 70 consider
further at this time either the treaty or
project Of annexation of the Hawaiian ter
ritory to this country; that the provisional
government therein having been duly rec
require that it shall pursue it's own line
OF policy and that foreign Intervention in
the political affairs of the islands will be
regarded an act unfriendly to the gov
ernmsnt Of the United States.
Considerable significance attaches to the
resolution from the fact that it is believed
by many to outline the present attitude
and new policy of the administration in re-
internal evidence of having originated in
the State Department. The declaration that
cit is unwise, inexpedient and not in ac-
cordance with the character and dignity
of the United States to consider further at
this time either the treaty or project OF
annexation" implies that the Harrison ad-
minis tration did an unwise inexpedient and
undignifed thing in considering the prop
osition at all. If Messrs. Cleveland and
Gresham get Congress committed to
that idea in some form other. they will
die happy. Really, there is no necessity for
Congress to make any declaration on the
subject The question of annexation is not
before 1t. The proposed treaty has been
withdrawn. and the President has officially
it again to the Senate. Congress would
stultify itself il it should declare that it is
unwise and inexpedient to consider a treaty
which is not before it. The Senate is not
likely TO walk into this trap just to crafty
Secretary Gresham's spite against the Har-
rison administration.
The remainder Of the resolution repre-
sents a complete abandonment of the res
toration policy. and the adoption OF a new
one involving a recognition OF the provision

vention on the part OF the United States,
and virtual declaration that Intervention

| ing. and If one is right. the other must be

THE RISING TIDE OF PROTEST.

The Cleveland organs and the Demo-
cratic "cuckoos' have been shouting for
weeks that the only opposition to the Will
son bill is that of the Republican press,
the active men in the Republican party
and the protected manufacturers. The or
gans will keep up the cry and keep the re-
ports out of their columns which show the
contrary.
the Wilson bill is the most general in its
character and the most emphatic ever made
against a measure before a legislative
body. Never were such petitions sent from
the people to Congress. They are going on
now by the hundred and by the thousand.
In the manufacturing cities of the East
less Of party. to sign protests against the
Wilson bill. Wherever protests against the
bill have been circulated, the people sign
them as they never signed similar papers.
Take the petition which the people of
Frankton. Madison county. have sent to
Mr.. Bynum. Frankton had a population
tition sent to Mr.. Bynum has upon it the
names of 1874 men, or more than one-fourth
Of the population, and, doubtless, three
fourths of its voting population. That is
but illustration of the decided prepon-
derance Of public sentiment against the
measure. Two Democrats addressed Dem
ocratic clubs on Jackson's day, the one an
out-and-out free-trader. who wants a tariff
for revenue only, and the other a man Of
extensive business experience who wants
a tariff that will not paralyze the industry
and trade OF the country. Both denounced
the Wilson bill In unmeasured terms In
the South. Democrats whose interests are
bound up in the iron and coal industries.
which are making South are as de-
cidedly opposed to the Wilson bill as the
Republicans of the North. Last week the
granite and marble workers of the central
West held convention here and unani-
mously declared against the Wilson bill. A
body of farmers. at a meeting held last
week in the Statehouse, adopted resolutions
condemning the measure. The national or
ganization of stone masons, now in session,
has declared against the proposed cut in
the duty on cement. These instances SIM
ply show the universally of the opposition
to the Wilson bill.
Who favor it? Those Democrats and or
gans which would indorse anything that
Mr.. Cleveland, as party king, ordains, a
limited number of mugwump editors who
worship their own infallibility but are the
victims of a fad; few theorists who
live the lives of herrnits SO far as the
worlds industries are concerned, and the
resident agents and lobbyists of foreign
manufacturers.

wrong. If the resolution represents the
views Of the administration, it is prepared
to eat humble pie without murmur. The
London Times evidently saw this point
when 1t said IF the report that Senator
Turpie's resolution represents the views of
the administration should turn out to be
well founded. it will be interesting and
instructive exercise, even to those best
versed in American politics, to observe by
what conceivable sophistry Mr.. Cleveland
will try to reconcile his recognition in jan
uary of the government he attempted to
depose in December" 1t will, indeed. 1t
will be interesting 10 see by what line of
argument Senator Turpie will support his
resolution without condemning the entire
Hawaiian policy OF the present administra-
ton ap to this time
