Fair Week..

Crissoy. Lyon n Meredith During
Fair Week.
Slim audiences greeted the Sioux
Falls trio OF populist orators in the T..
Is. church on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday evenings. NJ. Grigsby
was the speaker of Wednesday even
ing, and he dwelt with interminuble
length upon a pet plan of protection to
Industries which would distribute the
burden according to wealth rather
than an Indirect percapita. Orig is an
original cuss about many things and
we were surprised to find how sincere
a popuiist he had really become. Nir-
tually all the issues eXpounded in the
Omaha platform are swallowed bv
Orig and without much trouble, His
address, as Il whole, was disconnected
and loose j0inted, constantly drifting
from the main point and frequently
forgetting his original proposition.
When he had finished he asked for
questions from anyone Of the audience
to which NJ. Is. Kent responded, point
ing out several unfair statements.
while Hon. +. c. Ericsson put several
hot ones into the bosom" of the
speech. Taking the speech all i'm ali,
it was full of faliacious statements and
misleading entirely.
On Thursday evening W. II. Lyon.
Esq, and State Senator Grill spoke to
about seventy five people. Mr.. Lyons
favoritc hobby for fifteen years has
been government ownership Of rail
ways and he spoke for an hour upon
the subject very ENTERTAINMENT. Mr..
Lyon mas made his "hobhy' interest
ing when he talks, but his theory Of
the success Of such IL scheme falls to
the ground when the report Of rail-
ways owned by governments are
looked into with ii view Of finding out
the cost and various other essential
features. 1t is a fact that on the whole
American railways are run cheaper,
the cost per mile of carrying freight is
less and the intcres learned Oh capital
iSicss than in any other country in The
world. In Jlaly the government
owned considerable railway mileage,
and yet only recently they gave w
the ideaOf operating itand have leased
them 70 private parties. so it is.
Senator Grill took the state expeu-
diturcs at Pierre. We are inclined to
think that Louie" is Il lit frightened
over big figures. South Dakota is a
big state, has big institutions. plenty
OF them, really more than she needs,
and yet Il sparse population, with
considerable property going to ruin
for lack of cultivation. Her 2-mill
levy is really insufficient to make both
ends meet. so far as Il state govern
ment is concerned. there is no state in
the west more economically admins
tered than South Dakota. Just take
III the matter of appropriations for
state officers, for their Incidental eX-
penses, such rs clerk hire ,stenographic |

Eleven thousand guineas Is now
the record price paid in an auction
room in London for picture. This
amount was realized at Christie's for
Sir Joshua Reynolds portrait of Lady
Betty Define, sister of the earl OF
Carlisle, with her children, a picture
which is we'll known through engrav-
ings. 1t was put up at 5000 guineas,
and was secured by Mr.. Charles
Wertheimer, a dealer, for 1000
puineas. The famous Duchess OF
Devonshire," by GainsborOugh, which
so mysteriously disappeared, was
knocked down for 1O,1Oo guineas, and
the Raphael in the Dudley collection
two years ago went for about 5000
guincaS.

Amber as n Charm.

There is superstition attaching to
amber. Uncertain countriesit is greatly
coveted on account of the belief that 1T
insures the wearer good luck and long
enjoyment of the qualities that make
her attractive. Amber, tears from dead
trees" as the poet terms it, is supposed
to have medical properties, too; a
string of beads worn around the neck
being a charm against affections of the
throat.

The best American railways are run
more efficiently than any others on
earth. 1t has even been proved that an
American road, thoroughly equipped,
will carry greater weight with the
same power than an English owned
and managed road. In this case the
advantage lay in the American method
of arranging the load and of applying
the power.

A practical joker perpetrated a joke
by sending to Senator Quay a nicely
bound book entitled on the cover
''What Congress is doing" Senator
Quay opened it, lacked through it;
smiled and laughed Then he passed
it TO Vice President Stevenson who did
ditto, and then sent it to Senator PETER
who did ditto. and thus it passed
around the Senate and all the grave,
&c., seigniors did ditto. They thought
it a good joke. But there are lots Of
people in this country who would relish
the joke more if there wasn't quite SO
much truth in the jest. The book
which so excited Senatorial mirth was
filled full of blank pages.

Just So.

We think Governor Tillman made an
error Of judgment in washing his bands
of the whole matter, and allowing the
pendulum to swing to the other extreme
when the Supreme Court declared the
dispensary law unconstitutional. There
is no reason t. believe that the court
was not actuated by a sense of duty in
rendering a decision unfavorable to the
law. and having done their duty fear
lessly, as Governor Tillman had done
his, there was no reason why the execu-
tive branch of the government should
have resented the action Of the judici-
airy. or why the governor vas relieved
of his responsibility in the premises.
1t was mis- duty, in our opinion, to
have rigidiy enforced whatever Law
there was restricting the sale Of liquor,
aud requiring the license Of saloons.
aud should GOT have permitted the
State to 60 from the restrictions of the
~dispensary Law to the free and inter-
rupted sale by anybody who chose to
open a bar, with or without a license.
1t would have been the part of pru-
dence, and of pride in the dignity and
good order of the State for him to
have at once declared that the policy of
the State would be to enforce rigidly
the laws that existed prior to the enact
ment of the dispeosary law, aud have
left it to the other side to have taken
the matter into the courts to prove that
this was not proper.
By declaring that South Carolina had
no law, or what was equivalent to it,
and letting the matter take its own
course, he created the impression 90
the mind of the public that be was in a
pet, and was behaving very much like
the little girl who wouldn't play at all,
if she couldn't have her own way, and
just took her doll rags and went home.
However, a better feeling is already
coming over the State, and this matter
will work out all right. We hope to
see the State spared an acrimonious
campaign this year, and believe that
a brighter day is at hapd.-Augusta
Chronicle.

Two Surprises in New York.

A very noticeable event occurred
in New York City a few nights since.
A great mass meeting was held in
Cooper Institute. 1t was a meeting
called, we think, for the purpose Of
expressing condemnation of the
income tax before the Congress. If
you would believe what every Nor.
thern paper says. from Washington
up, the whole North is as one mar
against the measure of taxation that
is denounced as being sectional, an
incubus, class Legislation, inquistorial,
etc. But the people assembled,
when, 10, something occurred which
brought dismay to the enemies of the
tax. What was it? A leading, able
lawyer, Mr.. James G. Carter, had the
courage of his convictions and spoke
with great force and at much length
in favor of the hated, denounced
income tax. The strangest thing is
yet to come. 1t was a gathering of
business men, and yet the speech of
ar. Carter was again and again
cheered to the echo and the demon
STATIONS favorable to a tax were
much more marked than those that
saluted and sustained Mr.. F. r Cou.
dert, who championed the opposition
to the tax. A resolution sustaining
the Tariff bill with the income tax
was adopted we believe. The
Atlanta Journal. referring to this
New York demonstration, says:
"Mr. Carter is one Of the many men
in New York who would be affected
by the income tax. His income
from his profession alone is said to be
Sl00, 900 gear, but like
many other men of wealth
he believes an income tax to
be Just and is willing to pay it. The
plea that this tax Is socialistic is
ridiculous. The right theory of taxa
ton is that it should be borne in pro-
portion to the benefits received from
the government. The rich ought to
pay more than the poor and there is
no reason why men of large incomes
should not pay tax On them.
Put to a vote of the people of this
country we believe all income tax
would be overwhelmingly endorsed.
Our people are not ~socialiets or com
munists. They favor an income
tax not because it would take money
out of the pockets of the rich, but
because 1hey believe it to be right
and fair"
We believe that view to be correct.
The people near to have an income
tax-not for a beggarly FIVE years,
but for the decades-so long as there
are great protected interests and large
riches. There is a great war debt
upon the country-incomes and the
old debt-and a war tax. is the
thing for it, to wipe out at last.
1t seems there was still another
meeting held-certain Democrats
training as the Grace faction. These
Democrats met and Endorsed the pro-
posed income tax, and now Mr.. Grace
is so very sorry and disturbed, and
now lie assures the organs of the rich
that it was "a thoughtless break"
and the boys will not do so again, not
if he can help it. But Grace will
find that the people are not SO man
ageable as he nay hope and believe:
They want a tax for the, rich. Az
along they have been taxed and bled
for the benefit Of the rich. Now they
think it is high time that the rich
were bled were bled some for the
benefit Of their country and for tue
protection afforded them Whining;

Chief Templar. Watson Calls
for Action.
Special to The State.

BENNETTSvILLE, May LIZ -heV. =
O. Watson, grand chief templar. of
the Independent Order Of Good Tenn
plars of this State, in behalf of the
order, has issued the following address I:
To the Independent Order of Good
Templars aud all Friends Of Temper
aDce: Through the decision of the
Supreme Court alcoholic liquors cannot
now be legally be sold in South Caro-
lima, and our State is not to day pour
ing the blood of her sons into the
treasury. The form Of prohibition
which comes to MS thus, will hardly
prove SO efficient as a carefully prepared
aud regularly enacted prohibition law.
but having at it's command the same
legal machinery that exists for the
enforcement of the law in all other
cases of misdemeanor, it may be made
efficient 10 securing the larger part of
the blessings at which prohibition
aims, but this efficiency will depend upon
the moral support given by the people.
The supreme duty of the hour, there
fore, is support aud enforce the la"
as declared by the court"
In behalf Of the Good Templars of
this State this appeal is issued calling
upon all members of the I. 0. G.. T..
and upon all other prohibitiouists aud
all who are lovers Of Law aud order,
who have at heart the welfare and
honor of our State, aud who care for
the good Of humanity to enter at once
and heartily into the effort to make
the Law effective. Let no pains be
spared to discover and report to the
trial justices and grand %juries having
jurisdiction, all sales of liquor in the
State, and let each case be pushed
until the full process of law is carried
out against the offenders. Thus, great
blessing can be brought out Of the
unexpected turn of events which has
given us prohibition without special
enactment.
Meantime. We should not lose sight OF
the fact that the present situation is
not permanent. The whole matter is
now in agitased solution. 1t cannot
long remain thus, but must rapidly
take some permanent shape Wba,
shall that shape be 1t can and will
be prohibition if we recognize and act
up to our opportunity.
Let US be up and doing; enforce the
present law, aud educate the people for
permanent enactment of prohibition
Let working leagues be formed io all
lodges of Good Templars to cooperate
with larger prohibition leagues 10 every
town and community where such can
be had !; those to push the interests Of
prohibition by using all available edu.
c%ational agencies to awaken and tone
up moral sentiment to the hearty sup
port Of prohibitory law. Let US keeE
the issue alive aud constantly before
the people. Let every preacher frou
his pulpit every teacher in his schoo
room /; every mar Of prohibition prin'
ciples 10 his sphere, and every mother,
wife, sister aud daughter in the home
and social circle agitate the question
and teach the doctrine Of prohibition
This is the day of opportunity. Let u
seize it. (Signed.) E. @. Watson
