A Big Ship at Port Royal.

The Palmetto Post,
The steamship British King,
row in this harbor, is so large and
commodions and so far ahead of
what may ever be seen in what
politeness is pleased to term com
mercial ports in the South, that
we deem it only proper to say an
extra word about her, and at the
same time suggest that citizens Of
neighboring ports'(?) pay a visit
here and see a big ship loading in

GOODBYE VAIN WORLD.

The Columbia State takes final
adieu of the Democratic party IN
this State in the following words :
"The State cannot recognize the
primaries to be held in August, or
the committee which invites Popu-
lists and Republicans to them, as
Democratic. We abjure all alle-
glance to either. Whether there
will be a Democratic party organ
lied in South Carolina this year
depends upon the temper OF the
real Democrats. They may prefer
to do nothing, convinced that the
majority is against Democracy
But if there should be one organ
lied, The State will support it."
For Mr.. Cleveland's efforts in
defeating the repeal of the 10 per
cent State bank tax it also bids
him farewell:
eve have no reason to doubt the
statement in the Washington Star
an independent paper-that
President Cleveland used his ill.,
huence against the repeal of the
e+hI: g we I4?TE4tl tneE that at hnt IN
difference the. vote would have
been very different. We have been
hoping against hope that Mr..
Cleveland would at leest rise to a
broad and national view of the
currency question, but we now
realize that he is obstinate in his
purpose to force upon the country
a narrow and sectional policy,
hostile to Southern interests. 1t
is hardly necessary 10 say that If
we could have anticipated this
three years ago, The State would
never have supported him for the
Democratic nomination. His first
term gave no indication of a course
so radical. We can excuse minor
policies which are the product of
his Eastern environments, but we
cannot forgive his desertion of the
platform upon which he gained
the Presidency. At this spot we
take our leave of President Cleve-
land"

MUST BE A TADPOLE.

The Springfield (Mass.) Repub'
lican says:
"Tillman is an infinite distance
from the ideal Senatorial timber
but he is a long way better than
Irby."
We must conclude then that Irby
is tadpole in the opinion OF oul
contemporary. Well, he may be g
tadpole, bnt we have always main
tained that Irby was no bugeater
and not to be bugeater is pretty

About fifty hands went up.
"Now, how many's with me on

Will "Uncle George" Run?

We clip the following from the
Columbia State of Monday, June
18th:
It was started in this city yester-
day on pretty good authority that
ex-Congressman George D. Till
man, at the earnest solicitation OF
his friends all over the State, had
decided to enter the race fo- Gov
ernor. Whether the statement is
true or not is not known. The
announcement yesterday, however
was acceptably received in Co.
lumbia, for many admire the politi-
cal course of "Uncle George" and
believe that he would make most
formidable candidate.

TN A LION S JAWS.
Mile. Beatrice Mangled BY Her
Pet.

CoRNEY Island, N. Y. June TO-
Mile. Beatrice, the lion tanner at
the London Zoo, who is giving
a wild animal show on the old
pier at West Brighton had mar
row escape from being mangled to
death tonight by lion. 1t was just
about 10 o'clock and the enclosure
on the pier where the animals are
on exhibition was crowded with
people. The last performance of
the day was being given and
Beatrice appeared in the hall,
climbed up the ladder leading to
the wild lions cage and entered.
There are two big Asiatic lions in
the cage, a male and female. The
male is a great pet of tie tanner
and she plays with him for fifteen
minutes at every performance: Her
act with the wild beast is closed
by opening his mouth and kissing
him. She always succeeded in
kissing the brute until tongiht.
While she was making her bold
attempt to smack the lips of
Brutus tonight, the man who feeds
the lions made his appearance
near the cage with a box of raw
beef. Brutus caught sight of the
beef and in moment he unfasten-
ed Beatrice's hold upon him and
sprang upon her. Both had a lively
tussle which finally resulted in the
lion tanner falling to the fsor and
the lion grabbing the left side Of
her face in his mouth. The wo-
men and children in the audience
screamed and looking for clubs
and sticks with which to beat the
lion away from the woman. In a
few moments Manager Farrare
and Trainers Bronco and Ordawy
rushed with pitchforks. After
plnnging the forks several times
in the head and body of the lion
they maraged to make him lessen
his hold and got the girl out of
the cage. She was unconscious
and blood was pouring from her
face as she was carried into the
office. DR.. Hill was summoned
and the woman was put to bed.
When the doctor arrived the wo-
man, was delirious aud opiates
had to be given to quiet her. Upon
examination, DR., Hill found that
the lion had succeeded in sticking
three of his big teeth through the
woman's left jaw. Other parts OF
her face were also chewed. 1t took
some time for the surgeon to stop
tie flow of blood. DR.. Hill said
tonight that it vas the worst case
of animal bite that he ever saw.
The woman was delirons- at mid
night and Dr.: Hill says she is N a
precarious condition.
Mile. Beatrice is twenty years
old. Her father was a lion tanner
and she went Into the business
when twelve years old. She came
from London with the show three
weeks ago.

A New Railroad.

A new railroad between Augusta
and Charleston will be a thing of
the near future. Surveys have
already begun. The Louisville
and Nashville system is behind
this project. That corporation has
some large interests in Charleston
property, and failing to get control
of the South Carolina and Georgia
road, they are going to build their
own outlet to the sea. This llew
road will pass through Aiksn
county nearly parallel to the

The Somersault of the Demo.
cratic Party.

Reviews of Reviews.
When one considers the loss to
every business interest that results
from the suspense and disturbance
of new tariff legislation, it is
evident to any unprejudiced
mind that the retention for some
years to come of the Mckinley
acts precisely as it stands would
be greatly preferable to the adop-
ton of a measure like the one
now pending in the Senate, which
settles nothing either as to princi-
pie or as to practice. The Demo-
cratic party has shamelessly and
scandalously ignored the promise
upon which it came into power to
give the country a tariff on revenue
lines. The Wilson bi ! as originally
drafted by the Ways and Means
Committee of the House was a
faltering and lame attempt to take
one infnitesimal step in the direc-
ton of a revenue tariff. But the
amended and revised bill now un-
der consideration in the Senate
has retraced that little step, and
the Chicago platform is without a
defender in the halls of Congress.
Even Mr.. Mills, of Texas, while
opposing the compromise, announ-
E~-----.-~- -,~-~-~----J-s---
any tariff bill which make a re-
duction of duties by the very
smallest degree. His position is
an absurd one, for it means in
plain English that Mr.. Mills
would justify a disturbance of
business interests that costs the
country hundreds of million of
dollars for the sake of a slight
nominal reduction of tariff rates,
when the altered rates would be
just as effectively protective as
they were before. So long as the
principle remains unaltered,
nothing whatever is accomplished
by a casual reduction, here and
there, of tariff rates; and such
work would be the most triting
child's play but for the mischief it
accomplishes. Curiously enough.
the income tax holds it's place
practically unaltered in the Demo-
cratic scheme. The one great
plank of the Democratic platform
pronounced protection unconsti-
tutional and demanded revenue
tariff. This has been repudiated
without cause and without apology.
But the Democratic platform did
not mention in any way the laying
of tax upon incomes, while this
was one of the principal features
of the Populist programe. The
Democrats in Congress have now
made the income tax their one dis
tinctive tenet. The country will
hardly again in twenty years &C
cept any pretense from the Demo-
cratic party that it is opposed to
protection, and that party will ap-
parently be compelled to stand or
fall upon a totally new doctrine
which has never had a place in
its platform except by way of
cocnemnation of the Republican
income tax of the war period. The
situation is highly absurd one,
and the Democratic party will have
no light task in adjusting itself to
its novel position.
