1t looks as If Gov Tillman were going
have his own way in regard to the South
Carolina constitutional convention in
spite Of the appeals to the courts. Judge
Goff's injunction forbidding the holding
of election for delegates under the exist
ing registration act was practically an
nulled by the decision of the court of ap-
peals and an attempt to get the matter
before the Supreme Court of the State
has failed because the majority of the
court, who are Tillman's puppets, would
not hear the case, setting up the plea
that the court had no jurisdiction, p lea
that the judge of the Court who is not an
appointee of Tillman declared to be ab-
surd. A third attempt to reach the
matter indirectly through an appeal to
Judge Golf, has failed, the justice hold
ing that he is bound to follow the de-
cision of the court of appeals, though he
takes no pains to conceal his belief that
the decision was erroneous. There is still
chance to get the case before the Su-
preme Court of the United States but
the prospect of favorable issue there is
small There is no question that Till
man is seeking to deprive large number
OF citizens of the State of the right Eof
suffrage guaranteed by the constitution,
he makes no bones of declaring that that
is his purpose, and yet there seems to be
no way to prevent the consummation of
this illegal act. 1t is the theory of the
law that for every wrong there is a
remedy, but every effort to find one for
this great and acknowledged wrong-ac-
knowledged by the court that overruled
Judge Goff's injunction-has SO far been
fruitless and the ultimate result is likely
to be that band of disreputable adven-
turers, for such Tillman and his crowd
are acknowledged to be by the most repu-
table people of South Carolina, will revise
the constitution of State so as to per-
petuate their grip upon it and loot it at
pleasure.

1t is difficult to understand why the
Democrats of Illinois which contains one
of the largest commercial cities in the
country should be unit for free silver,
while in Iowa, which is chiefly an agri-
cultural community, free silver should be
voted down in State convention by a large
majority. One would naturally expect
less silver sentiment in State like Illi-
nois than in one like Iowa, for it has
f silver worked especial hardship to the
agricultural classes Equally difficult is
it to explain why Missouri, which con-
tains the great city of St. Louis, greedi-
~ swallowed the free silver bait, while
Kentucky rejected it. Possibly the ex-
PLANTATION in the latter case may be that
Kentucky has heard some pretty strong
sound money sermons preached to it by
the Louisville Courier Journal, while
Missouri has been lectured to chiefly by
men of the Bland stripe. AS between
the silver and anti-silver wings of the
at present with the former. Missouri
and Illinois are more important States
than Iowa and Kentucky. They contri-
butte more congressman, and their in
fuence upon legislation is therefore much
greater. When it is remembered that the
silver men have had the national admin
istration to fight their success appears the
more noteworthy and makes it pretty GER
tain that with the national patronage
taken out of the scale the silver men
would win in almost every Western and
Southern State.

An Absent-NEinded Preacher.

An odd circumstance happened once
at Winchester. As DR.. Wilson was one
Sunday morning going through the
streets toward the cathedral he heard
a woman cry, ''Mackerell All alive, all
alive, Or and on his arrival at the
church he began the services as follows:
when the wicked man turneth away
from his wickedness. and doeth that
which is lawful and right, he shall save
ris soul alive, alive, Or These last
words the doctor proclaimed aloud, to
the great surprise of the congregation.
But the good doctor was so studious and
absent-minded that he knew not what
he had done.

A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.
Saves Her BABY Brother From the Wei
by CIambsrlns Down.

by CIambsrlns Down.
John, the three year old son of F. A.
Kiene, who lives at Valencia, twelve
cape from drowning il a well a few days
ago. He was saved by his sister Rosa, a
girl ten years old.
There was no one at home except the
mother and the two children. The baby
was outside playing ON the well curb
when one of the planks broke with his
weight and he fell into the we'll. There
was about four feet of water in the we'll
which was twenty feet deep. As the
plank broke the child screamed and tn
attention of his mother was attracted.
She ran to the well and was Mortified to
see the baby at the bottom. He was at
tempting 20 cling to the pump and he
was partially buoyed up by his dress.
The mother was almost frantic, Her
little daughter. who was in the house ran
out in response to her mothers screams.
The girl no sooner saw what had hap
Dened than she started down into the
we'll. using the wall as braces for her
feet When she reached the water she
took hold of her little brother and held
him out of the water, while her mother
rang the bell for assistance. No one
came and Mrs. Kiene then found rope
which she lowered to the girl in the
we'll. who managed to tie it around her
little brothers. body. The baby was
then drawn out by his mother. He was
uninjured.
After the daughter Rosa had seen her
brother safely taken from the we'll she
started 10 climb out herself, but when
few feet toward the topsne lost her foot
ing and fell into the water. She. how
ever, succeeded in getting out of the
water without assistance and by
second effort succeeded in reaching the
top of the we'll and scram bled out very
wet but unhurt-
1t was not until both the baby and his
sister had escaped from the well that
two men who were working in field
near by, and who had been attracted BY
the ringing of the bell, arrived.

by thrq wing it with some dishwater
into the garden. A diligent search
failed to discover the ring. The other
day Mrs. Pippert dug some potatoes in
her garden, and while peeling them for
supper the knife struck something hard

cutting into the potato, she found her
lost wedding ring. As evidence of this
