Gigantic Extinct Birds.

The giant of all the feathered bipeds
was the colossal epiornis Of Madagascar.
The scientific announcement Of the dis
covery Of the remains Of this gigantic
species Of bird was made by Geoffroy
st. Hilairc, the great French savant on
Jan. p, 1851. The specimen Of which
he gave q description had been found
in a guano bed and stood over 2 feet
in height. The egg found among tho
bones, described by the scientific French
man, was as large as two gallon Jug
an experiment proving that 1t would
hold the contents Of six large African
ostrich eggs, or 148 common hen eggs.
The giant moa, which is believed to
have-but recently become extinct in New
Zealand, was larger in point Of weight
and bulk than the epiornis, but it only
stood 9 feet high, quite high enough,
however, when 1t is known that its
weight was not less than l, 600 pounds.
The great aux is another species Of
bird but recently extinct. The most re-
markable thing about this large aux is
the fabulous prices now asked and given
fo7 specimens Of its eggs. Quite recent
ly an egg of this species was sold in
London for 81, 225.-St Louis Repub-
lie.

Of his old letters to show how every

and now the cotton-purcbasing value
Of their salaries had constantly increas
ed. We urged him to put the axe to
the root of official extravaganza, even
though he had for his three years of
holding stayed his hand
Governor Tillman did not respond to
this appeal. On the contrary, be, in
his message, opposed the only bill pro
posing reduction Of salaries that vas
before the Legislature, and vaguely
suggested some other measure, which
he took care not to define or to submit:
The General Assembly, driven and
goaded by its Conservative minority,
at last passed the bill which had come
over from the previous session, with
amendments more or less discrimina-
tive and evasive But-after passing
this measure, the Refawm majority Of
che General Assembly proceeded to at
sach rider to an appropriation bill
providing that the reductions nominal
ly made 10 salaries should not take
effect during next year, thus nullifying
it's previous act and making the
whole performance burIesque.
Governor Tillman approved the
appropriation bill with this provision

reduction bill, and thus saddeled the
old "extravagant' salaries on the people

unconstitutional. for the reasons assigned

Tlllman's Latest Method Of En-
forcing a Bad Law.

COLUMBIA. January 1. The State
board Of control sends greetings to all
of the towns aud cities in the State.
The New Years gift is little late,
but it is in ample time. Without
much ado the board to-day decided that
the municipalities where dispensaries
are located would have to hurry up
with the cooperation act or forfeit
their pittauce of the profits. The
board has graciously allowed the town
authorities until the 18th of the month
in which to make up their official
minds and advise Governor Tillman of
their determination.
The question is serious and impor-
tant one, and up to this time is by far
the most consequential phase of the
Dispensary Act. It looks very much
as if an innocent looking little clause
will result in the State getting not
ouly the lions share. but everything
else. The promised revenue to the
cities is likely to be mythical, and as a
result the municipal taxes are pretty
sure to be increased.
The temper Of the board was shown
to-day when the meeting was held.
When Mr.. Kllerbc aud Mr. Buchanan
entered Governor Tillmau's Office they
we're told about Governor Tillman's
interview with Mayor Fisher and the
result of that interview-no action by
city council. He asked the members
what they thought Of i, and both said
that the law ought to be enforced 1t
was .hen agreed to communicate with
the authorities, and Governor Tillmao
opened bis drawer, drew out a paper
which was signed by the board aud
forwarded. There is no mistaking its
significance 1t reads
To the Mayor and Aldermen Of the
City of Observation-Disclosures: Notice
is hereby given that the State board OF
control 10 the exercise Of their judg-
! ment, as required by the Dispensary
Act recently passed, have determined
that the contingency has arisen 10 your
city for the enforcement of the proviso
to Section 10 of the Dispeosary Act,
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1894-01-03

not be lnvoked to enforce penal
statute The appropriate tribunal for
that purpose is the Court of General
Sessions by indictment. This consti-
tutioual distribution Of power cannot be
disturbed by declaring the sale of
intoxicating liquors nuisance. With a
view to give jurisdiction to the court Of
equity to suppress it by injunction.
Equity will not epjoin an act or a
series of acts as nuisance unless the
elements of a nuisance are in fact con-
tanned in the act. It is not enough that
the act of the Legislature. declares it
to be a nuisance, but it must in every
truth be such in the we'll known sense
of the term with it's essential elements
and features.
The Legislature cannot. by altering
the meaning of the English language,
confer jurisdiction of fugitive crimes
upon the court Of. equity.
Furthermore equity will not interfere
by INJUNCTION to suppose an alleged
nuisance until the fact of its exist
euce, if disputed, is first established by
jury
The injunction. therefore must be
dissolved for the reason that the act
is void under the Constitution; and
even if it we're not void, it mast be
dissolved for want Of equity jurisdic-
ton. In the Court of General Sessions
there is plain, adequate and COM
plete remedy for the violation of all
valid laws against the sale of intoxi-
| eating liquors. The court Of equity is
not the tribunal for punishment of
crimes
But for another reason the injunction
must be dissolved.
All controversy as to whether j. NJ.
James is maintaining nuisance by
violating the dispeusary law. has by
proper proceedings been transferred to
the United States court. An action
similar to the present vas instituted
against him last July and such steps,
by petition and bond, have been taken
by the defendant as prevents the State
court from proceeding further until the
United States court is heard from.
For these various reasons it is order
ed. adjudged and decreed that the pre-
liminary injunction in :his case be dis
solved and that the motion for attach
ment for contempt be dismissed.
Let all the papers be filed.
j. H. HUDsoN.
Judge 4th Circuit.
At Chambers, Dec. %, 1893.
As the motions for the attachment
of E. R. James and Henry Appel for
contempt are, similar they are also
dismissed by this Observation-Disclosures

"no man who upholds (the Ocala
platform can properly claim to be a
Democrat ?'
But if we are to be kicked out Of
the Democratic party because we as
individuals oppose one plank in the
party platform, we will have goodly
contingent in our company. We will
have majority of the Democrats in
the United States Senate who opposed
the administration view of the silver
plank of that platform, and we will
have with lis the great masses of the
American people
What constitutes the test of a
Democrat anyway in this degenerate
day Is it unquestioning adhesion
to every plank of the Democratic
platform? Is it fidelity to principles !?
Certainly not, if we are to judge by
the practice of the party. We have
gold-bug Democrats, a,d free silver
Democrats, and National bank Demo
Gratis, and greenback democrats, free
trade democrats and protection Dem
ocrats and tariff for revenue Demo
Gratis.
The party of free trade elected more
than once high protectionist to the
highest position in the gift Of a
Democratic Congress and even now
former Republican candidate for the
Presidency occupies the highest
place in the cabinet by appointment
of Democratic President who has
behind him Democratic Congress
and the whole machinery of gov
ernment. if adherence to every
plank Of the platform were
necessary to constitute a man a
Democrat, then Samuel J. Randall, a
pronounced protectionist, could
never have been Speaker of Demo
cratic Congress; aud Walter Q.
Gresham, former Republican candi.
date for the Presidency, could never
be chief adviser of a Democratic
President. What then is the sole
test of mans democracy under the
practice of the party? Evidently it is
his support Of the nominees in the
general election.
Finally, after all your somewhat
lengthy discussion you find only five
out Of twelve points upon which you
take issue with the Ocala platform.
You distinctly agreed with two, as
does "every Democrat" you say.
To that extent you yourself uphold
the Ocala platform, and under your
own ruling you cannot properly
claim to be Democrat :"
The most casual reading of our
letter will show that we made no
objection to your organizing what in
the last analysis, would be Demo
cratic clubs independent Of our State
Democratic organization. But we
had no concern about that. We
simply asked you to explain your
StdtCtuOUG tu0G uO NA0H WIZ u u0hOiNS
the Ocala platform can properly claim
to be Democrat. You refused
point blaak to answer the questions we
asked, and proceeded to compare plat
forms with the result shown above,
that not even. on that ground could
you defend your charge against US.
This effort to make il appear that
we objected to your organizing
Democratic clubs is entirely apart
from the question you yourself raised,
and is not warranted by anything we
wrote. 1t appears to be 10 line with
your other efforts to read Alliancemen
out of the Democratic party and dis
credit the young Alliance" leaders,
while protesting great respect for the
organization.
