"COnditiOnS.'

Several weeks ago some well-meaning gen.
t,emen met in Charleston and assumed, or
proposed to impose, conditions on the
voters of South Carolina In the matter vi
electing delegates TO the State convention.
Later on some other well-meaning gentle-
men have laid down their ultimatum.
After awarding to all these gentlemen I'M
pulses OF the fullest and largest measure "a
patrotism in the effort 10 serve thelr coun
try the Press and Banner would Respectfully
dissent from each and every proposition LOT
conditions" The gentlemen are out OF or
der.
Itis not for the individual, nor any little CO.
terie. to dictate terms 10 the people oil South
Carolina who are tine source of all power. III
is for them to lay down the law or TO adopt
the rules by which we shall be governed.
The Tillman- -Hemphill cotorie were posi-
lively authorized to bind nobody, and had
not the slightest pretext for holding out any
idea that they could control the political
opinions OF the people OF South Carolina ex'
cept in SO far as their suggestions shouid mee'
with the appreciation of the individual citi-
zen.
The same is true as to the gentlemen VINO
have more recently announced the "conoi'
tions" upon which they would support the
Democratic party.
Our own opinion Is that the majority OF tne
Democratic party have right to adopt their
own platform. If it should be too narrow lor
all the Democrats TO stand on, then 1t Is thelr
right and privilege to get off of 1t, and get on
any other platform that they like better-pof'
sibly where there may be more plums 10 oe
given out, or where the company may De
more congenial.
AS water cannot rise above It's source SO IL
is not to be expected that political leaders can
rise above their source.
Whatever the fact may be, a large majority
of the white people OF South Carolina are I'M
pressed with the idea that they, in the aggre-
gate, are the custodians Of the welfare OF the
State, as well as Of their own individual wei
fare.
However much we may. as individuals, ois'
like to be thrown out Of office and power, ye'
it is the duty of every patriotic citizen 10 DC
loyal to his race and to his party. The party
now in power kept faction in power for
long time, and nobody will deny that IL ID
their right to change rulers, if they SO deter
mine. If they do wrong 1t will be but LOT
short time. The pendulum will swing oacR'
and right and justice will soon resume thelf
sway. For this reason 1t is better to bear tne
ills that we have than to destroy the fabric
merely because we and our kinfolk are tem'
porarily out of office and out Of official power.

by what method of logic, then, can 1t be
said that Governor Evans characterization
OF this conduct is too strong? The technical
tiles of law and the decisions of the courts
are capable of being twisted and perverted 10

pret them or the purpose OF the advocates
who seek to make use of them, but the eter.

Governor John Gary Evans address to the

ordinary character of the crisis which is up
on us. 1t is prompted By real sense OF
wrong and Injustice which will appeal 10 the

black heels on white necks in the State Of

Rebuked by Hannibal HarnIin.

MIR. Hamlin was n true gentleman.
Punctilious himself in the observance Of
all the requirements of gentlemanly in
tercourse, he was equally exacting of
every courtesy due him from others. He
permitted no man to be rude to him or
to assume the attitude of a superior. On
one occasion one Of the able men and
leaders Of the senate, distinguished for
aself conscious, lordly air in his deport-
ment, in the change Of seats which oc-
ours once in two years in the senate
chamber had gained q seat by the side
of MIR. Hamlin and began at once to
practice upon him those little exactions
and annoyances which he had been &C
customed to impose upon others After
few days Of yielding to these encroach-
ments Mr.. Hamlin turned and in tone
that did not require repetition, said,
Sir, If you expect to be treated like q
gentleman, you must prove yourself
one" There was never occasion after
ward to repeat the admonition. Henry

Tho Rodhonded Girl Is Discouraged "
Tryins to Teach Her Things.


That redheaded girl Oh Daynes street
lately undertook to teach tho art of do
mestic service to Polish maiden who
had been plucked green in the wilder
ness OF Shumway street The new girl
was willing, but ignorant oven of the
Eng fish language. Instruction had to
be impaired by object lessons. The first
lesson was in lighting the gas. The
kitchen treasure was told by her new
mistress that she was to turn the stop
cock and then apply match to the end
OF the pipo. She seemed to comprehend.
The next day tho redheaded girl was
attracted by vilo smell issuing from
the kitchen. On investigation the Pol
ish exile was found standing beside the
cold water lancet. patiently lighting
matches and holding them under the
stream Of water, which she had turned
on, only to see them immediately e1-
tinguished, leaving an odor Of charred
wood behind.
In the course Of q year or two the red
headed girl hopes to be able to impress
on the Ruthenian mind the fact that all
general principles are subject to modifi
cation in practice, and particularly that
all iron pipes do not burst into fame
when approached by match. Buffalo

The Spiritual and intellectual Forces Arc
Strong Among Them.

And this region, so favored by na.
ture, owes much of its character and in.
terest to its history as we'll Settled lat
or than the seacoast, the western part
OF the state was in its beginnings made
up Of more varied elements than the
eastern. From the valley of the Connect.
icut colonists pushed through the noun
tain gaps into that of the Housatonic;
the hills attracted settlers from the fiat
and sandy lands of Cape Cod, while the
Dutch from New York have left in
name and character their impress upon
the Berkshire people of today. Spiritual
and intellectual forces were largely
prominent in the laying Of its founda.
tions, and such forces have contributed
and continued their influences ever
since.
Missionary zeal, represented by such
names as Eliot and Sergeant, founded
Stookbridge. Jonathan Edwards here
spent the years which represented the
primo and fullness of his powers.
Ephraim Williams, the fighter in the
French and Indian war, dying on the
battlefield, left his fortune to plant and
endow tho college which bears his name.
Mark Hopkins, Berkshire born and
bred, another Arnold of Rugby, set his
stamp upon u whole generation;
throughout it's history soldiers, saints
and scholars have both represented and
impressed its life. The reasonings OF
Jonathan Edwards, which for good and
evil have had SO great an influence ND
on theological thought, found their most
powerful expression in his treatise on
tho will, which was written while he
lived i'll Stoclbridge. Lenox heard the
last public utterance,; of Claiming; his
successor, Orville Dewey, born 90 years
ago (1794) ut Sheffield long made that
place his homo, and there, too, were
born the two Barnards, one the presi-
dent Of Columbia college. the other the
soldier scholar of our civil war. Oliver
Wendell Holmes lived for years at
Plttsfield. Catharine Maria Sedgwick
drew around her ut Stockbridge and
Lenox distinguished circle Of the best
literary society Of our own country and
many cultivated wanderers from the old
world. Fanny Kemblo here made for
years her home. Longfellow, Lowell,
Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Beecher,
G. P. r. James, George William Cur
tbs, Matthew Arnold and others fingered
among and loved the beauty of these
hills, where plain living and high think
ing have found noble expression in the
past and where here and there they

Trees That Die When Men Live Near Them.
The deaths of nearly all the Pine
trees in Asbury Park give rise to an in
teresting question as to whether or not
it is true that this tree is SO wild by ma
ture that it will not endure domestica-
ton. 1t is the breed of pine that grows
in the sand close to the seashore of
which this seems to DO true. Asbury
Park is built upon former sen beach
extending three miles inland to the edge
OF the great forest that reaches from Ea-
tontown, back of Long Branch, to Cape
May. This forest is called tine Pines, ;"
because OF the preponderance of pine
trees i'll it, the other trees that are plen-
tlful there being mainly oaks of four
varieties, with few magnolias, tulips,
sassafras and hickory trees and hollies
and laurels
The pines still flourish in the woods
behind Asbury Park, but in the town a
large fraction of the few that remain
are sickly and dying. Thousands have
died and been cut down since the tree
empowered town was built in the woods
quarter of century ago. The vii
layers say they die because it kills them
to have human beings walk beside them
They say that even in the forest the
pines that stand beside the footpaths are
the first to die. Others credit their de-
struction in the village to the shaking
of the earth by the heavy trolley cars
and steam railway trains, and still 9TH
ers declare that manuring, watering
and topsoiling the sandy ground is what
has done the damage The truth is yet
to be determined, but certain it is that
they are dying fast, and that already
