JUDGE GOFF REVERsED.-Thc
injunction OF Judge Golf, whereby
he undertook To rcscInd and annul
the registration laws Of South Caro-
lima, was dissolved last week at
Richmond, Va, by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals,
Chief Justice Fuller delivering the
opinion Of the Court. This is a great
victory for South Carolina and, in
our opinion, for the whole country.
The lesson Of the decision is that
the States still have some rights
which the General Government and
its Courts are bound, under the con.
stitution, to respect.

The democratic party seems to be
stranded for a party leader at present.
They have no issue to conduct cam
paign upon if the time had arrived to
make a nomination for president. They
have had control of the executive and
legislative branches Of the government
since March, 4, 1893, and for some rea'
son it has been nothing but borrow
money to meet our obligations, instead
Of creating some way to make the reve

There still appears to be quite a feel
ing existing in favor Of recognizing
Cuba as belligerent power. The main
reason assigned is that Spain recognized
the southern confederacy. 1t must Dere-
membered that the cOnfederacy was an
organized government so far as it could
be and sent out ministers, duly accredlt-
ed and the authorities acted upon these
letters. In the case of Cuba, she has no
organized government, hence has sent
no ministers abroad seeking recognition
She is merely dominion Of Spain and
is struggling for some kind Of an lnde-
pendence. To recognize Cuba in any
way would in our opinion be interfering
with the international law and be Tn
means of causing other nations to vleN

There is one rare, strange virtue thaV

political campaign they argue with al

certainly more vigorous than polite ana
for stranger to their ways, to hear TWO
prominent speakers on opposite sides Oh

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Here is an
opening for another congressional IN
vestigation. The charge is openly MADE
that bids for the iron work on COVER
ment buildings are juggled within the
office Of the supervising archl-
tect of the treasury department, for the
purpose Of giving the contracts to man
nfacturers located in the southern states,
in order to make it appear, that iron
manufacturing is as prosperous in the
free trade states under the democratic
tariff as it was in the protective states
under the Mckinley law. 1t is charged
that it was because Of his refusal to 90,
or to sanction the required juggling that
O'Rourke was asked to resign the posi-
tion Of architect Of the treasury some
months ago. This is very serious
charge and it is probable that congress
will look into it. The plan followed, ac-
cording to those who make the charge, Is
TO reject all bids and advertise for new
ones when favored contractors do not
have the lowest. Logan Carlisle, son OF
: the secretary, is credited with being the
! iuggler-in-chief, the present supervising
s architect of the treasury having no au
g thority over the letting Of contracts.
!, Senator Chandler has steadily main
e tanned that the republicans would OF
i qanize the senate, with the votes of tn
= populist senators, not through any bal
again for these votes, but simply be
a cause the populists will vote for the IT
le publican candidate for presidentpro ten
T. =. of the senate in preference to the dem'
~ cratic candidate for that position, an
~ he still holds to that opinion. Some
III the shrewdest members of the sena'
ne hold a different opinion as to what Il
he populists will do, believing that the
votes will depend largely upon the ina
ho cial status Of the candidates for pres
- dent pro tenn. Of the senate. There is O.
~ thing, however, about which Senat
10 Chandler has changed his opinion.
w, w was until the recent elections inclin
NJ NJ TO favor the idea Of issuing short a
t ,nt temporary loans to meet the deficit
90 m the treasury receipts, but he isn't nc
.ou He said since his arrival in Washingt
,oI I 81 think we ought, in view of the way
,vo @ which the people have spoken, to prov
, revenue by duties on wool, woOlen m
ufacturers, lumber and agricultural
ine ducts. It seems to me that Presid
,,s,, @ Cleveland, if he can appreciate
w. meaning of the elections, ought to y
somewhat in his position, and meet u
: in our efforts to aid the treasury and
.uch country. II he will not we ought to
wen the matter rest. We ought to presen
ates him what we think is right, and If
tina chooses not to accept it, the misfori
va is his. We can say we have done
the duty, pass the appropriation bills
