A Clear Declaration of independence of
Til;man's Diclatjon.

The man who credits Tillman with
honesty and sincerity will find it hard
to understand his structures upon the
action Of the "Forty" conference. Does
Tillman really want an absence Of strife
for the control of the constitutional con-
vention. Ifso, why should he condemn
the plan which seems surest to bring
about that result, the plan which meets
with general favor throughout the State
Having no desire to do injustice 10 Sena
tor Tillmap, yet considering tho matter
impartially, it looks as if pique dictated
his utterances with reference to the "For-
ty" conference. That conference was a
success, despite his recommendation that
it be frownod down, and it acted with
independence and spirit, not tamely and
wholly accepting the plan mapped out
by him, an il to forestall its action. There
Is really no vital difference between the
Barnwell- Tillman-E -Evans-He and
"Forty" bases of agreement. The latter,
though couched in different words, is
substantially the same as the former.
Besides, why should he condemn tho
action Of the "Forty" conference, when
he made no effort to have that conference
agree in toto with him? He, Governor
Evans and the Conservatives who met
and formulated basis of agreement
were invited to the "Forty" conference
snd that body would have been pleased
to have had him attend and give his ad-
vice. If he had been anxious for the
"Forty" to fully concur with his plan,
why did he and the other parties to it,
fail to accept the invitation extended
them? Had he gone there and partici-
pated in the deliberations, he could have
presented and explained his plan. Fail
ure to do so left him small room to COM
plain at the conferences action.
Senator Tillman has taught the people
Of South Carolina to do their own think
ing, and he must not be surprised if they
show him how well they have learned
that lesson by refusing to allow even him
to do their thinking for them. The small
vote in favor of the calling of the Consli-
tutional convention is an example to the
point. Senator Tillman refused to speak
plainly of his plans and purposes with
reference to the new Constitution, but
simply called on the people to trust him
as he had been faithful to them in the
past and vote fer the convention. Many
refused to do this, for they were not
willing to be led blindfolded, and those
who did vote for the convention based
their action on higher ground than that
request. Having experienced the high
pleasure OF doing their own thinking, It
need not be expected that the people will
surrender it, even at the request of him
who put them in the way Of it. Unless
Senator Tillman can give substantial
reasons for his condemnation Of the
"Forty" convention and its action, it
will not be shared in or endorsed by the
people. Has he given any substantial
reason? Close search OF his interview
does not reveal it.-Cotum6io Register,

Suicide of a Fairfield Farmer.

BLAcKsTocK, March 2s.-Yesterday
evening Mr.. Wade r. Stevenson, young
farmer living near Woodward's, COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself
through the heart with shotgun. There
were no witness to the deed. His body
was found in barn by the farm hands
coming from work at night. Itis thought
by some that his death was accidental or
that he was murdered, but the circum-
stances all point to sell destruction. He
was single man, 35 years of age, in easy
circumstances, and no cause whatever
can be assigned for the deed unless it ia
that of sudden insanity.-Spccial to NecS

engrossed and read third time on
Thursday, on motion of Rep. Kamau-
oha.
Bill No. IL was referred to Judiciary
Committee.
Bill No. u was referred to Commit
tee on Commerce.
On motion of Rep. Robertson, Bill
No. Z, an "Act to Regulate the Sale of
Goods, Wares and Merchandise by
Local Travelling Agents." was taken
up on third reading.
Report of committee recommended
laying on the table.
Rep. Richards explained that under
this bill the entire travelling business
would be placed in the hands of three
or four houses. These houses carried
everything in stock. The small
dealer would be entirely shut out.
Several merchants had stated this was
not the bill wanted. For these reasons
he opposed the bill.
Rep. Robertson stated that the bill
was not introduced in behalf of any
large corporation or corporations. The
intention was to put an end to drum
ming by placing the amount at $500,
which, it was thought, would be suffi-
cient to break up pernicious system.
1t was drawn at the request of several
small merchants. The trade of the
country was in the hands of the big
firms. They were now selling goods
contrary to law. If the amount named
in the bill was not sufficient to accom-
plish the purpose for which it is
intended, an amendment was offered
by the member to increase the
amount to $1,000.
Rep. Richards was one of those who
were conducting a small country busi-
ness. He opposed the bill because it
would give few firms in Honolulu a
cinch on the travelling trade; they
could well afford to pay, not only
$1,000 but $4,000, which would virtually
mean an exclusive right in the prem
ises. He again favored the bill being
indefinitely postponed.
Rep. Robertson said he understood
the bill was to prevent just what the
members opposed; if it did not, then
he did not want it to pass.
Rep. Hanuna thought travelling
salesmen had done q great deal OF
good. He favored the bill being in
definitely postponed without giving
any reasons. Carried.
Act 13 was referred to the Judiciary
Committee on motion of Rep. Robert
son.
AT 8: :25 the House adjourned till 10
o'clock Tuesday morning.

RESIDENCE BURNED.
Home Of z. POdeyn Completely Des-
trOYed-PartiallY Insured.

At 5 As o'clock last evening an
alarm of fire was turned in from
the home of K. Podeyn, Piikoi
street. When the engines arrived
on the spot the building was COM
pletely enveIoped in flames. Only
one engine could work, owing to
the distance from the water plugs.
1t was soon found by the fremen
that the house could not be saved
consequently their attention was
turned to the outhouses. During
the progress Of the fire the two
story frame building makai of the
Podeyn premises became ignited,
but was soon extinguished.
The origin Of the fire is shrouded
in mystery. The family was seat
ed on the front porch, their young
baby being in the room in which
the fire started. There was a puff
of smoke, a fame, and in short
time the building was blazing all
over. The child barely escaped
being smothered.
The Podeyn home is a complete
ruin, nothing being saved. The
premises were partially insured.
