Charleston, S. c., May 22.-The mill
tary court of inquiry sent here by Gov.
Tillman to investigate the condition of
the militLa aporpos of their refusal to go
to Darlington during the recent
dispensary riot, met to-day, but
did nothing. Gen, Richbourg, Col.
While Jones and Judge Advocate Baron,
reached the city last night, and were to
be joined today by Gen. Dennis, for the
purpose of conducting the court OF i'm
quiry with reference to the Charleston
militia and their refusal to 20 TO Darling
ton.
w. H. MacTeat has been appointed of
fetal stenographer of the court martial
and accompanies the commission.
The members of the commission were
waited on by Gen. Huguenin on their ar
rival, and 1920 o'clock this morning was
appointed as the time for opening the
court. Gen. Richbourg said that the pro-
ceedings OF the court would not be pub
licly conducted, that reporters would not
be admitted and the official report would
not be given to the press until the work
of the court should be finished. Owing
to the absence of Gen. Dennis, a member
Of the court, nothing was done and an ad-
journment was had until tomorrow
Gen. T. A. Huguenin, who will
probably be the first witness
before the commission, called a meeting
Of his officers and the captains of the
Fourth brigade yesterday, and announced
TO them his intention of assuming the en-
tire responsibility for the failure of the
brigade to obey the orders of Gov. Till
man. Gen. Huguenin will testify before
the commission that the orders of the
governor were not extended to the compa-
nies OF the brigade by him, his reason for
his failure TO do so being placed on the
ground of expediency judgment be-

Washington, May 22.-Michael Fitzger-
aid. with his band of forty-three New
England Industrial delegates, as he styles
them, arrived in this city shortly after 5
o'clock this afternoon, and the organiza-
tion has taken up quarters in the small
chapel annex to the Mount Zion Method
ist church, a house of worship for negroes
in the northwest section of the city.
The chapel is just about large enough to
accommodate the industrials and is
equipped with wooden benches, which
the men are using for beds.
The delegates are by far the
most intelligent in appearance OF any Of
the armies of the unemployed that have
reached this city. Fitzgerald says his
men do not expect to stay here more than
three or four days. They have petition
to present to congress, but have as yet
made no plans concerning the manner OF
presenting it, he petition is strongly
socialistic in its nature, and goes much
further than the Coxey plans. Fitzgerald
saws his men are in sympathy with CoXey,
but that they are not in any way con-
nected with him or his army.

CONTROL OF THE COLLEGES.
The Northern Presbyterians in Favor
of Securing 1t.

Saratoga, May 22.-In the Presbyterian
general assembly to-day, the committee
on bills and overtures presented partial
report. An overture had been received
from the presbytery of New
Albany asking the general assembly
to memorialize congress to enact
such regulations with reference to the
personal life of their members as will
prevent the presence In the national
councils of men with immoral and dissO-
Lutte habits. A recommendation that no
action be taken upon the subject was
adopted.

ported that the church must raise 81 ,23s,-

CONTROL OF THE sEMINARIEs.
The question of theological seminary
control. so far as the general assembly Of
the Presbyterian church is concerned, is
settled. By vote of almost 4 to
/ the report Ol Gne majority OF
the committee that considered the
matter was adopted to-day. The
report provides for gaining the
power and right to approve the appoint
ment of professors and directors, and asks
the directors of the seminaries to declare
a trust In favor of the Presbyterian
church, which the general assembly may
enforce in the civil courts. AT the same
time a committee is provided
which shall confer and advise with the
seminaries and seek to gain their CON

was put through the assembly in spite of
urgent requests for delay, and in the face
of protests from those who desired that
the church and the institutions affected
might be consulted.

To the many friends Of Mr.. Jones,
our nominee for state senator, we de-
sire to say a word that that gentle
man, while exceedingly anxious to
personally see and talk with every
voter in his own county, has for the
past two weeks been actively canvass
ing in Big Stone, Traverse and Grant
precluding his seeing any one in
Stevens. Mr.. Jones was at home on
Sunday and Monday, having returned
late Saturday night after having driv-
en- forty miles each day for six con-
secutive days in the northern portions
of the district. He reports a good
prospect for the entire legislative
ticket in Grant, and feels assured
that that county will poll a good ma
jority for the Republicans. Regard
ing Traverse and Big Stone he has
high hopes that the Republican leg
islative ticket will not fall behind
over three or four hundred votes. He
proposes to devote the present week
to the outside counties and then de-
vote the last week before election
(if possibly to the uncanvassed part
of Stevens. Those who think Mr..
Jones has neglected any part Of the
field, will recall the fact that there
are 65 precincts in this district and
5000 resident voters therein. 81

The American Economist contains
a startling statement in its last issue
relating to the FIRST effects of free
trade and American business condl-
lions. It finds that there is 10 pei
cent less wages earned this year than
in 1892, no work for 80 per cent OF
the people, the output of the factories
decreased by A per cent, the average
earnings fell off $55 per head, and
billions OF dollars less money circu-
lated. In the same industries the
hands employed in 1882 were 69,S56,
and in 1894 1900; wages paid in
1892 SI7, 479, 1897 and in '94 SO, 81, 094;
output Of factories in '92 100 per cent
in '94 56 per cent; handg idle in 1894,

duct not made, $4,122'847, 355; ma

The Tailor Dird.

Sewing seems SO ingenious an art
that it must be reserved for the hui
man species alone Yet the tailor
bird, the Orthotomus longicauda,
and other species possess the ele-
ments of it. They place their nests
in a large leaf. which they prepare to
this end. With their beaks they
pierce two rows of holes along the
two edges of the leaf. They then pass
a stout thread from one side to the
other alternately. With this leaf,
at first fiat, they form horn, in
which they weave their nest with
cotton or hair. These labors of
weaving and sewing are preceded by
the spinning of the thread. The
bird makes it itself by twisting in its
beak spiders webs, bits of cotton and
the little ends of wool. Sykes found
that the threads used for sewing
were knotted at the ends. Popular

sacred interests Of humanity. A man
who has no higher conception OF the
judicial function than to prostitute his
high place to the uses of political
mountebanks would be more dang 9rous
on the supreme bench than he would be
as governor of the state, for in many
possible instances the supreme ceust may
set aside the acts of the chief executive.
Such man Is John ". Wits, the

was elected. he has served his mas
tegs well, for upon the first OCCASION IN
which hIs services were demanded no
laid his homer, his integrity and his
good name upon the altar Of the gang,
and rendered decision which has made
him the laughing stock of the state. It
was to the effect that man might
come into court as witness, swear that
he had not voted, but that he wanted
to vote, and if he had, lac you'd have
voted for certain candidate, ana have
this statement checked up as vote for
such candidate.
This decision resulted in the seating
Of a man who was defeated at the polls,
and Judge Willis BECAME still more pop

is matter of record that Judge vii.

where an appeal has been taken He
is so thoroughly repudiated by the bar
Of his own judicial district that nearly
every lawyer therein is appealing to the
people of the state to avert the calamity
of his election. Judge Charles e,
Flandreau, one of the most prominent
Democrats Of the state, one of the
brightest lights Of the legal profession,
and man who was himself an honor
and an ornament to the supreme bench,
has stated upon public platform in
the presence of candidates for state of.
ices, that no self respecting Democrat
can vote to degrad9 the supreme bench
by the election of John w. Willis.
Mr.. Willis sabser bed to the platform
and principles OF the RopUlist party,

A Curious superstItion.

Natural phenomena often give rise
to superstitions, and when these are
Of long standing and have been aug
mented by tradition credulous peo-
pie seem to pin their faith to them
unquestioningly. The natives of the
vicinity of Laos regard with awe a
a certain plateau that divides their
territory from Anan. This plateau
is covered with trees and dense fo-
liage and is region of almost per
petual rains. Hunters are forbidden
to speak aloud, to fire guns or make
any unusual noise, and fires must
not be lighted lest they should cause
the rain to fall. These untutored
children of the forest long ago grasp
ed the idea that rainfalls could be
precipitated by conclusion or by dis
turbing the strata of the air. They,
however, regarded the matter as
something supernatural and Won
derful, not being able to grasp the
idea of natural cause and effect.

There is noquestion of party involved
in this matter, for John w. Willis rep
resents no party, except the party Of
the first part, to wit, John w. Willis.
He repudiated his Democracy at the
behests Of the Pop1i. is, and as readily
repudiated his pledg IS to the Populists.
1t is simply matter that involves the
honor and credit of a state, and woe
betide that state if the rights of the
people are to be lightly weighed in the
balance against the demands of dema-
gogues, with John w. Willis as weigh
master.
In conclusion, we urge upon the vot.
ers of the state not to overlook the inn
portance of casting their ballots for

and voters should be careful to mark

Sam Jones, the eccentric evangelist
is undoubtedly off in some OF his say
ings, but we must give him credit
when he utters practical thought upon
questions agitating the people. In
speaking of the scheme of the popu
lists to have the government loan
money to the farmers at 2 per cent on
their lands, when it is obliged to pay
5 per cent for it-and the assertion
by both populists and free trade dem
ocrats that the erich are growing
richer and the poor poorer" under
protection, Mr.. Jones has this to say:
"There never was a greater lie, and
I'll prove it. Theirs nothing the mat
ter with the law. It's the man that's
at fault. There's a lawyer on that
side of the house that makes twenty
thousand year. Here's little petit
logger whose family are starving.
The law is not to blame. Here's a
physician making ten thousand a
year. There's little doctor over in
the other corner that can't make his
salt. The law is not to blame. |
preach nearly every night to eight
thousand people, and here's little
preacher sitting behind me that can't
average two hundred. The troubles
not the law, brother, it's in your nog
gin. The difference is organic. If
all the wealth in the United States
were divided out today, each man
would get about 81, 160, and in less
than six months some fellows would
be riding in palace cars and others
would be walking cross ties and howl
ing for another diyy." St. Peter
