THE ALLEGED CONsPIRATORs.

The two men, Underwood anC
Sheridan, who are to be tried today
have succeeded in earning a littl,
notoriety. The evidence that tht
prosecution will present comes
upon the testimony of, apparently.
very reliable witnesses. The pros
ecution will, no doubt, try to prove
that these men made overtures to
persons here to overthrow the Gov
eminent; that there was a plan to
get an armed force from California
to assist them. Should the Gov
eminent make out its case the men
will be undoubtedly punished to
the full extent of the law.
One thing is proved, even now.
The Government OF the Republic OF
Hawaii is quite capable OF taking
care of itself 1t has excellent in
formation as to the movements OF
men who plot against it and is able
to nip in the bud any little con-
spiracy that may be Matched up.
Our friends abroad need not be at
all alarmed about US. The Gov
eminent is here to stay till it has
served its end and worked out our
political salvation by annexation
to the United States. This will |
come as surely as the earth moves
round the sun. This little abortive
attempt at conspiracy can only |
have the result of strengthening
the Government hands. 1t will |
make men OF diverging ideas and
interests cling the more closely to-
gether.
These may not be the last adj
who Will come to these
shores under the impression that
the country is ripe for rebellion,
only to find that there is no re-
bellious spirit here. There must
be, always will be a party dissatis-
fed with the government, but dis
keen criticism and
even abuse do not constitute a
spirit ready to handle guns and
he very imminent risk of getting
INTO trouble. Egged on by mis-
representation from people whose
wish is father to the thought,
here can always be found hot
headed and desperate tools enough
o make an effort at causing trou-
les but this Government is quite
trong enough to take charge of
UGH material and no one need get j
oto Mysteries over it either.

IAN MACLAREN," as the Scotch
clergyman who has written such
charming idylls of Scottish life
calls himself, has fallen under the
displeasure of the Southwestern
Presbyterian for introducing the
subtle poison of humanitarian
ism" into his stories. He takes
offense at the character of DR..
Mcclure in Beside the Bonnie
Briar Bush" because with all his
kindness of heart and nobleness of
character he was not "a professor
of religion or even an attendant at
church" But the worst exam
pie" he finds in the story of Lilly
Grant whose dying hours are made
happy and content by the decep-
ton practiced upon her by the low
ing, tender hearted Jamie Soutar.
The story has drawn tears from
eyes wherever the English Language
is read and yet this true blue
pedant can see nothing in it save
the very doctrine taught unblush-
ingly by Jesuit casuists that one
may steal or lie for the greater
glory Of God"

1t is the most sanitary brush
made, the entire surface is
aluminium, and the bristles be-
sides being surrounded by the
aluminium, are securely held
in a strong cement that is
absolutely unaffected by water,
whereas the wooden blocks
ordinarily used, quickly shrink
from frequent wetting and
drying and become loose, and
it is impossible to keep them
clean.

THE Republicans won thei,
sweeping success of last year or
the policy Of opposition to the
shortcomings of a Democratic
Congress, whose failure to carr,
into effect the declared princi
pies and measures of the party
had aroused general Indignation.
But there is hardly a doubt that
the Republicans will, at the next
session of Congress, in which
they will have a majority, find
themselves as powerless to
enact tariff and currency meas
ures satisfactory to all of
their own party and acceptable
to the country, as were the
Democrats in the late Congress.
Their most effective weapon of
last fall will thus become a
boomerang" There is no cause
for any Democrat to be despon
dent. The Republicans will have
no such vantage ground as they
had last Jear, whether they re-
affirm their old condemned poll
cies or shuttle and shift to avoid
committing themselves. Let US
be up and doing.
WI had the pleasure of view
ing and studying with interest
and profit a large and minutely
accurate map of the navigable
tributaries Of Winyah Bay, S. c.,
surveyed and executed by Capt.
II. F. Price, of the Civil Engi-
neering firm Of Price & Lewis,
of this city, which he is prepar-
ing for the U. S. Government.
The map itself is comprehensive
Of every navigable stream in the
territory covered and is a mas
terpiece of artistic execution,
showing that Capt. Price is not
only eminent in his profession as
a civil engineer, but is also a
master artist in the execution of
his surveys on paper. The i'm
portance of Winyah Bay and it's
tributaries is best judged by the
volume of business carried over
their courses, which in the.year
1892, for the year ending May
/, amounted to the round sum Of
SO, 978, 365, 90. The main streams
into which the tributaries coy
cred by this map flow are the
Wateree and Congaree rivers,
which empty into the Santee

the Southern point of South Is
land, which is situated IL miles

firm of Price & Lewis are regu-
larly in the survey business,

them on their merits to the pub.

Our Raleigh correspondent in
yesterdays ARGUS recorded the
mysterious presence of Richmond
Pearson, one of the big Five
in Raleigh; and yesterday an-
other of the q%uintette, Judge D.
L. Russell, of Wilmington, pass
ed through this city on his way
to the State capital.
According to the Raleigh Mevs
Dc Observer Of yesterday, it is I'M
derstood that these are the ad-
vance guard of the Bosses Of the
Douglass Legislature, and that it
is their purpose, if possible, to
bulldoze the Governor into call
ing an extra session of the Leg
islature to undo the evils of their
corrupt and ignorant legislation.
It is hardly probable that they
will influence the Governor,
whose knowledge of the Doug
lassites makes him fear them,
even if bearing gifts and making
promises not to do any more dew
iltry.
The Big Five and their follow
ers are in a deep and rash hole,
and want the Governor to pull
them out. If he fails they will
turn longing eyes to the non-par-
tisan court and say "Help, Cas-
sius, or we sink"
1t is not believed that the court
will permit itself to be influenced
by any pressure to help any party
out of a hole, but that it will con
strue the law in accordance with
the rules laid down for judicial
Interpretation.

Miss Emily Smith went down
to Mount Olive Friday, where
she will spend some days on a
visit to Miss Annie Gilmore.
Mr., and Mrs. M. B. Hinson, OF

consequence of the serious i'll
ness of the latter's parents Mr..
and Mrs. Joel Lewis.
Miss Fannie Ezzell, after
spending several weeks with rel
atives lover the Neuse'' returned
home Saturday.
AS was previously announced
the young people Of Kenly gave
an entertainment here in Alliance
Hall Friday night. Songs, reel
tations and tableaux were first on
the programme and were of a
high order Of excellence and
greatly enjoyed by all; but what
charmed and completely capti-
waited the audience and held the
closest attention from beginning
to end was the excellent drama
MY Brothers Keeper" There
were eight characters in the play
and they all played their respect
i've parts gracefully and in a high
ly creditable manner. It seemed
perfectly natural for Mr.. L. r.
Land to act Abel Benton, who
was the proprietor of a large
mercantile establishment, and
Messrs. r. Fl. Afford and D. L..
Goodwin appeared to be at home
in acting Matthew Allen and
Richard Carnes, who were clerks
in the establishment. Abel Ben
toms son Charlie was fifty repre-
sented by Mr.. J. T. Howell and
MI. W. H. Edgerton acted the
part Of "Old JOB Layton" to per-
lection. The part Of Grace Ben
ton, AEel Benton's daughter. was
acted gracefully and with perfect
ease by Miss Alice Atkinson, and
Miss Ida Williams acted "aunt
Betsy" complete in every partic-
ular, while Mrs. L. r. Land dis
played much theatrical talent in
acting Rachel Allen.
The drama alone was we'll
worth the admission fee. The
entertainment closed at II
o'clock and the crowd went home
well pleased with the manner in
which they had spent the even
ing. J. f. H.
