Great Silver Conference at Topeka
Senator Stewards Telegram-Ken-
tucky Democrats at Sea.

Topeka, Kas., June 18.-In his telegram
regretting his inability to attend to-day's
silver conference Senator W. H. Stewart
says: II am enlisted in the Kentucky
silver fight; can't be with you. The re-
storation of silver is the only hope to
stop falling prices and the destruction
of American homes. There is no other
issue of importance compared with the
necessity of breaking the gold corner
One more gold president will down the
Americans to servitude, perhaps for all
time, Four-fifths of the American peo-
pie are opposed to any kind of money
the purchasing power of which grows in
safe. The growing purchasing power
of money must be stopped. We can do
it with silver and with nothing else. The
government is in the hands of the enemy.
Give it no more until the people acquire
control. Let Kansas lead and enough
will follow to restore the government to
the people,"

FAvoRITE SON DAVIS.

Cleveland, Ohio.-Among the late ar
rivals iu the city was R. 9. Evans, Re-
publican national committeeman from
Minnesota and delegate at large to the
Republican league convention from that
state. Mr.. Evans says he thinks the con-
vention will be the largest and most en-
thusiastic that has yet been held, and he
scouts the idea that there will be fight
over free coinage. Mr.. Evans has just
returned from the east. Being asked
what he thought of the Republican presi-
Dental question he said Minnesota has a
candidate in the person Of Senator Cush.
ing K. Davis, and while he was not q
leader in the race, Minnesota Republi-
cans hope matters would SO shape them
selves before next year as to make his
nomination positive. In regard to the
question of wham he considered the
strongest candidate in the race at present.
Mr.. Evans said: "Mr. Mckinley is by
all odds the strongest candidate. He has
been in the race longest. His character
and record are such that he will stand the
test, no matter how long he has to re-
main in the contest before the conven-
tion ia held" He said Reed, Harrison
and Allison were all strong and able men
and each was positive of considerable
following.

TOPEKA SILVER CONFERENCE.

Topeka, Kans.-Ex- Congressman Sib.
ley, of Pennsylvania, arrived in Topeka
at noon to attend the silver conference
called by A. G. Shinn, of Ottawa, vice
president of the Bimetallic league. Mr.
Sibley said to reporter: ''In 1896
there will be two parties, the producers
and the absorbers." With Sibley came
Pierre Humbert, city surveyor of Boston,
who is en- route to Cripple Greek, Colo,
in the interest of the silver move
ment. The number of attendants seems
as large as those calling the convention
expected for such an informal gathering.
Republicans are, however, conspucious by
their absence. The plan outlined now
seems to be to form a bimetallic league
with secretary, who shall make head
quarters at Topeka, with general COM
mittee of twenty-one made up of differ.
ent parties, three of each congressional
district and an executive committee of

KENTUCKY MIXED ON SILVER.

Louisville, Ky.-It is still an open
question who will win the Democratic
nomination for governor. but it is not an
open question as to what the Democratic
state convention will do about free silver.
Nearly half of the delegations selected are
either instructed to vote against free sill
YER or are known to be opposed to it,
Many others, who are friendly to silver,
are individually and as representatives of
the conventions which chose them op-
posed to the policy of making any
declaration for free silver in the state
platform. Neither Gen. p. N. Hardin nor
Cassius M. Clay has anything like enough
instructed votes to win on the first ballot.
There are 878 votes and 440 are necessary
to choice. One hundred and fourteen
out of 119 counties give Hardin for gov
ernor, 269; Clay, 20.; uninstructed, 1854.

Anthony, Kans.-Ths largest conven-

ratio of 16 to l, regardless of the dicta-
ton of any other nation.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Venezuela Arbitration in Parliament
President Cleveland Declines
Degree Of LII. ID.

Washington, June 1S. - Sir Edward
Grays statement in parliament yester-
day, that Ambassador Bayard had been
informed that Great Britain would con-
sent to arbitration of the Venezuela
question under certain conditions,
created some surprise among officials
here, as it is calculated to show that
Great Britain has accepted the sugges-
tion of the United States, whereas it has
been declined.
HONOR DECLINED WITH THANKS.
The Wilberforce university, the oldest
institution in the country for the educa-
ton Of negroes, few days ago conferred
the degree of LII. D. upon President
Cleveland. The president has sent an
autograph letter to President Mitchell,
of Wilberforce, declining the honor.

JUNE WEATHER.

Our Chester weather prophet has sent
his forecast for June. He says that he
is not altogether certain about the cor
rectness of his predictions this time.
There are at work several counteract-
ing forces that he is not altogether
able to make out. As nearly, however,
as he can get at it, the record will be
about as follows:
From the 1st to the 3rd, will be
cool and probably wet. From the 4th
to the 7th will be warm and stormy,
with local showers. From the 9th to
the 10th will be windy. From the
18th to the 18th will be warmer, with
local rains. From the 10Th to the 18th
will be warm, and there will be thun-
der, lightning and heavy rains. From
the 10th to the 21st will be windy and
unsettled. From the 22nd to the 25th
appearances at least will be quite
stormy, and from the 26th to the Both
will be fair and warm.

me in that experience, South Carolina
has had enough along that line.
In response to the suggestion that
the legislature and State officials in
their construction of the registration
laws, had in view the permanent dis
reimbursement of the Negro and in
order to prevent Negro supremacy,
Senator Butler said there was no danger
whatever of that condition arising.
"The Negroes" he added, ''do not
want to control affairs. They are
satisfied from their experience in the
reconstruction period that they are
not yet prepared to take charge of the
government. But they do want the
opportunity of voting for white men
in whom they have confidence and
those men are among the Conserva-
tives. 1t isn't Negro supremacy that
worries these gentlemen half so much
as it is the possible downfall Of ring
supremacy"

Is matter of rather more delicacy
than the average Yorkvillian would
care to become mixed up in, especially
in view of the fact that it is so we'll
k nown that if judgment were left to
mothers, or even fathers for that mat
ter, it would be necessary to have as
many first prizes as there are babies.
After the procession was over, the ba-
bies, carriages and nurses were assem-
bled at the Baptist church, where Pho
tographer Richards made a negative
of the whole group.
Tit for Tit.
Immediately after his discharge from
custody yesterday morning, Daniel
Whitener, white, swore cut a warrant
for George Williams, colored, charging
him with perjury. The charge was
based on the evidence given by Will
liams before the coroner's jury, and
which led to the commitment of White
ner to Jail. The case was to have been
heard yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock.
Williams waived his preliminary,
h however, and Trial Justice Carroll
fixed the bond required for his appear
a nee at 5000. When THE ENQUIRER
went to press, Georges father was try
ing to secure the necessary bond.

THAT DETECTIVE.

At the request Of the jury, last Sun
day, Acting Coroner Carroll telegraph
ed to Governor Evans asking for auth
ority to employ Detective Dobson to
work up the Bob Feemster murder
case. The governor Immediately tele-
graphed back that he had sent a de-
tective. Ifthe detective has ever come,
he has not reported to Trial Justice
Carroll or anybody else.
Last winter, Governor Evans was
requested by mass meeting of York
county farmers to call in January, a
State convention in order that repre-
sentatives of the people of the whole
State might meet in Columbia and
consider what was the best to be done
about cotton and guano. The COVER
nor, at first, paid no attention to the
request, and when afterward stirred up
about the matter, through the press,
he wrote to the committee that had
been appointed by the mass meeting
to memorialize him, that he would call
the State convention. The conven-
ton was never called.
When Jim Green shot Alfonzo Moore
some months ago and escaped, a citizen
of Yorkvllle wrote to the governor and
asked him to offer reward for Green's
arrest. The governor wrote back that
he would give the matter his immedi-
ate attention. IF he has ever thought
about it again, nobody here knows it.
The intended cotton and fertilizer
movement passed over without amount
ing to anything, Jim Green, after re-
naming at large until he got ready to
surrender himself up, and 100 years
from now, it will not make any differ
ence whether the Rob Feemster case
had been investigated or not. But,
however, all this may be, we are in
clined to the opinion that if the gov
ernor will be more careful about full
filling his engagements, especially after
they are made, he will certainly in
spire more confidence as chief execu-
tive.
The services of a good detective in
the Rob Feemster case might prove
very useful even yet.

Shiras, one that perhaps forever will
leave his actions on the bench open to
question and criticism. 1t is held by
those who criticised his vote to day
that justice of the supreme court is
unlike a member of a legislative body
who might with propriety change his
vote as the result of debate and dis
cussion. At any rate, it is insisted
that Justice Shiras, when he voted to
sustain the law FIVE or six weeks, ago,
must have rendered an lily considered
opinion, if he is entirely certain OF
being right to-day"

OPINIONS OF GENERAL BUTLER.
The Ex-senator Talks of Conditions In
South Carolina.

South Carolina.
Ex-senator, NJ. C. Butler is in Wash
ington on private business, says dis
patch of Sunday but will doubtless
take an opportunity to drop into the
supreme court of the United States as
a spectator of the effort of Attorney
General Barber to induce the court to
take up the habeas corpus case invol-
wing the fate of the dispensary law in
that State. Asked today if there was
much excitement in South Carolina
over the decisions of United States
Judges Golf and Simonton in the reg
istration and dispensary laws, ex-Sena-
tor Butler replied:
"No, not that know of. When
left people generally were in a quies-
cent state. 1 discovered no signs of
revolution or war, except with Cover
nor Evans and few of his coterie.
He seems to be in a chronic state OF
eruption"
"What is the cause of his outburst
of excitement ?" was asked.
~ cannot understand it. He seems
to regard a United States court as
foreign corporation and a United
States circuit court judge as public
enemy. Judge Golf decided case
brought before him in due form and
I think decided it correctly and OF
course conscientiously. He passed
upon a question, the constitutionality
of the registration laws, which was
raised in proper case before the State
Supreme court lastDecember and which
that court has failed to decide up to
this time. DR.. Sampson Pope, the
mover in that cause, failing to get
decision in the State court, sought re-
dress in the United States court be-
fore Judge Goff. That's all there is
in it,"
"Is it conceded that Judge Golf had
jurisdiction -
"That is a disputed question. In
my opinion he had. If Judge Golf is
in error, he will be corrected by the
United States supreme court. If he is
right, he will be sustained"
evil the State authorities appeal
in that case?"
"Ab, as to that, do not know. If
the State authorities are wise, they will
let the matter rest where it is and 60
ahead and hold the constitutional con-
vention under Judge Golf s decision"
"But will they undertake to hold it
in defiance Of that opinion ?" was ask
ed of Mr.. Butler.
II do not believe they WILL" he re-
piled. "South Carolina has made two
attempts to 60 it alone-once in 1882
and again in 1865. I took part in
the last attempt, and judging from
what know of those who were with

Instead of conducting large business
on credit, the majority of farmers, have
been content to do a smaller business
for cash. The effort that used to be
devoted to raising cotton with which
to buy supplies from the Northwest, is
now devoted to the raising of supplies
at home, and instead Of working for
the provision producers ofother States,
our people have commenced working
for themselves.
Gas to whether the farmer could
come out ahead under the old system
was merely chance, and as has often
been proven to the sorrow Of many,
only very slim one at that. Under
the new system, the amount of money
handled in a year is much smaller;
but, at the same time, the margin OF
profit, however narrow, is now prac-
tically certain. In other words, where
the farming business in this country
used to be largely a matter of specula-
tion, it is now, practically, a sure thing,
and there are, at this time, as many
men either keeping even, or gradual
ly forging ahead, as used to be con-
stantly dropping behind.
In Rock Hill, Lancaster, Chester and
elsewhere, the problem used to be
not how to get time business; but how
to keep from getting too much of it.
This kind of business has dwindled
to such small proportion, however,
that all the big credit houses are &C
tually scrambling for what is left of it.
Yes, sir; without any ifs or ans,
or making allowances for anything, l
repeat the assertion that there is more
cash actually available for business
in the hands of the producing classes
right now, than there has been at this
season at any previous time during the
past 10 years at least, and possibly
since the war;"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-05-24

To impugn the motives of the
United States supreme court, may
sound like treason but judging from
the rather vigorous utterances of JUS
tices Harlan, Jackson, Brown and
White, we feel almost safe in saying
that if the majority of the court were
not among the wealthy few of the
county before they rendered their in
famous decision, they certainly are
now. That such a decision as they
have rendered should sell cheap, seems
impossible.

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

"The condition of this country, finan-
cially, is better than it has been for 10
years." was a rather startling remark
made by Mr.. NJ. F. Jones, manager of
the Ganson Dry Goods company yes
terday. Upon being asked to explain
himself, Mr.. Jones went on to say:
81 mean just what I said. There
is more actually available cash in this
section right now than there has been
at this season of the year for 10 years,
and I might say with almost equal
assurance, since the war. I have not
been here during the whole period
mentioned; but if you will give me
YOUR attention for a moment, l will
explain my reason for making my
assertion.
"There is no doubt of the fact that
farming operations in this section used
to be conducted on larger scale; but
you must remember that most OF the
business was done on time. Many
farmers who conducted extensive ope-
rations, failed to pay out at the end Of
the year, and seldom had any cash
80 late as this in the season. Almost
all they made went abroad for supplies.
"Within the past few years, as you
well know, the whole country has
been developing different system.

= Some of the gold standard peopl

- Some of the gold standard people
say they have no objection to the coin
age of silver, provided the government
instead of individuals, gets the seignior-
age. We can readily accept that prop
osition. 1t is true that there is now
wide difference between the bullion
value of silver and gold at ratio of
16 to /; but just give it out that the
government will buy all the silver that
is offered at the highest market price
and coin it into dollars, and we venture
that it will not be a great while until
the two metals again reach parity.

YORKVILLE. S. c.:
FRIDAY, MAY "a. 1895.

The Federal judiciary was origi-
nally established for the purpose of
holding congress in check and pre-
serving unto the people their constitu-
tional rights. 1t seems, however, that
the supreme court of the United States
has become rather more dangerous to
the liberties of the people even than
congress.

In THE SUPREME CoURT.-Attorney


General Barber has returned from
Washington, where he has been for
the purpose of appearing before the
supreme court in the appeal from
Judge Simonton's decision on the dis
pensary case. The Columbia Register
of last Tuesday, throws light on the
situation as follows:
The argument is being prepared by
the attorney general and will be print
ed and submitted to the court during
the present week. The court will not
hear any oral arguments on the ques-
ton. 1t is expected that Mr.. Bryan
will also submit an argument in op-
position to General Barber's.
Attorney General Barber states that
it is mistake to think that the State
hoped to have the merits of the case
decided by the court. The only ques-
ton that he expects to have decided
by the proceedings is that of jurisdic-
ton. He will contend that after liquor
has been brought into the boundary of
the State it then ceases to be an arti-
Gle of commerce, and hence it is liable
to seizure under the State law. Mr..
Barber prepared his case with great
care and is sanguine of success.
He had the liquor in question seized
before it was taken home, thus making
it purely one upon which he could
argue as to Jurisdiction, without any
entanglements as to searching house.
1t will be seen that he has pretty
strong case. If he is sustained by the
court then Judge Simonton's order
falls to the ground. If he is defeated
then the injunction remains.
