TIDAL WAVES.

Tidal waves sweep every
thing before them in their on
coming; but in their ebb they
sweep everything the other
way. Proof OF this was fur
nished in the astonishing VIC
tories OF the Democratic party
in 1890 and 1892. They had
in the Congresses elected in
those years, majorities that
were as uncomfortable as
mobs. The opposition party
in the House was so weak in
point OF numbers and in quail
ity OF leadership that it was OF
no service in lending conser-
vatism to attempted legisla-
ton. The only brake on the
wheels was the thoroughly dis
credited Senate, a body that
in all respects was more VIC
iously inclined than was the
House.
The conditions were practi-
cally reversed by the elections
OF 1894. The Republicans
now have dangerous major
ity in the House. mainly made
up OF raw material, and a slip.
perry and slender control in
the Senate. They are further
at a disadvantage because they
will have a check upon their
operations in the Democratic
Executive, who will see to it
that as far as possible Demo
cratic politics for the next two
years shall have as fair a trial
as circumstances permit. Judg.
ing the future by the past, it
will not be an astonishing out
come OF the present situation il
the overwhelming victories oil
1894 shall not be the precur-
sors of disaster to the victors.
What the new Congress may
do is an rnsealed book but il
we may judge by the capers Of
the various State Legislatures,
the groundwork for political
revulsion and Democratic sue
cess in 1896 will have been
very thoroughly prepared.
There is every prospect in
the next two years, barring
unusual and unexpected set
backs, Of a complete resump-
ton of business activity. Such
a result will practically set the
seal of approval upon such
financial and revenue legisla-
ton as the Democrats have
been able to enact. With
good crops. cheap clothing,
plenty to eat, and plenty to
do, carried to the credit OF
Democratic policies, and with
a fresh illustration of the IRA
tionalism and extravaganza
which Republican Legislatures
and a Republican Congress
are sure TO furnish the coun-
try, it will be strange, indeed.
if the going out of the tidal
wave shall not leave the Grand
Old Party stranded on the
shore. -MhadeLbAla Record.

READ THIS: EVERYBODY:

OUG Ol TIC DGSl al tlClCS II
has been our pleasure to pc
ruse treating of the financial
condition and business inter
ests of the county was handed
us by a gentleman last Satur-
day. Il comes from a good,
reliable level-headed source
and we hope it will be read
thoughtiully.- it is:
BUSINESS depression has
been widespread, affecting all
the civilized countries OF the
world. some Of which have
suffered more than we have.
The causes can be laid to the
feet OF no particular country;
they have been UNIVERSAL
conglomeration of depressing
inhuences-which in their
union have produced the result
To single out any one of them
and insist that il had brought
on the hard times will convince
no one who has been familiar
with the situation throughout
the world. Admitting that our
financial troubles have been
the cause in this country it is
clear that they have not affec-
ted England and other coun-
tries where the depression in
business affairs has been
equally felt.
Whatever the causes of our
business troubles, they are far
from being we'll understood,
and il is useless for business
people to quarrel over them
now. Leave them to history.
Let statesmen and savants un.
ravel them and make the re.
suit OF their cogitations known
as a warning to future genera
tons. Business men have
something else to do than dig
up the dead past. Better
times are coming, and they are
coming to stay we have reach
ed the end OF the lane of bad
luck. and it is bound to have a
turn. Let us make this turn
with confidence, circumspec-
ton and a determination that
it shall lead to a lasting pros
perity. and there is no reason
to fear what the future will
bring forth. Let us go slow,
and by the use of honest and
well-tried business methods
get all we can and hold on to
all we get. A forced era OF
speculation would only lead to
another break: a smash which
might affect our country only,
but it would be none the bet
ter for us on that account.
The returning prosperity
must be as widespread as has
been the business depression
which it follows, and those
who are prudent in meeting it
will make the most out of it.
Let our business men remem-
Der this and not undertake to
force things. All over the
world this long looked and
prayed for era OF redemption
from hard times" is invoking
TO action those who influence
commerce and manufactures.
and those OF them who accept
il with forethought and de-
termination to go slow and
make the most out of it will
be the ones who will derive
the greatest benefit.
Undue haste to get rich is
looked upon as an American
characteristic, and if we will
look over a list of those who
have for the past generation
tried by speculative schemes
to outstrip their rivals in the
race for wealth we shall see
far more wrecks than success
ful men, while all over the
country. out of sight, as we
may say, will be found the vic
Tins OF speculation. who have
been led to their ruin by the
same desire to get rich in
haste. We want no more oil

a Story Of Pluck and Sacrifice.

A Rockland, (Me.) woman whose
! story is briefly outlined by the Cou.
rier Gazette has particular reasons
for thankfulness that the last years
Of her life are spent in the land that
celebrates July 4. This lady, Mrs.
Hanrahan by name, lived in Ireland
at the time Of potato famine. At
last things got so desperate With her
family that they held a council to see
what could be done to keep them
from starvation. America was
thought of, but if the husband went
to the United States what would
keep the mother and children? So
the brave woman decided that she
would 90. By hard exertion and bit
ter sacrifice her passage money was
earned, and taking a sad farewell of
her home and little ones, she crossed
the ocean. She procured situation
in New York, and while the father
kept the family together and earned
enough to give them scanty living
the mother worked night and day in
the far off city to get the funds that
would bring her dear ones to this
country. At length the years of
probation were over, the father and
children landed in New York and the
family was once more united. "Ah!'
said the old lady, lit was a happy
day When I saw me man and the
children landing from the steamer"

a Beautiful Wedding.
Marriage Last Night of Two Popu-

Columbia Register, Thursday 5th.

Columbia Register, Thursday 5th.
One of the prettiest home we'd
dings that has been seen in Colum-
bia for a long time was that of Mr..
b. b. Cayce of Lexington county and
Miss Lizzie Holbock of Charleston.
at the residence of Mr.. Peter J.
Rucker on upper Main street last
evening. The house was beautifully
decorated with flowers, so arranged
as to present very attractive ap-
pearance.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. DR.. McPheeters, assisted by
Rev. Mr.. Dorritee.
The bride was attired in a hand
some cream silk dress, with rich lace
ornaments, and carried in her hands
a bouquet of orange blossoms.
After the ceremony the parlors
were thrown open and the guests
spent several hours very pleasantly.
Light refreshments were served and
at late hour the crowd dispersed,
Mr.. Cayce and his bride going over
TO his home in Lexington county,
where thy will make their home.
Among those present were Mrs.
and Miss Cayce, Miss Holbock Of
Charleston, COL and Mrs. Willie Jones
Hugh Meighan, Miss Maggie Dunn,
Miss Ligon, S. G. McQuatters, Noah
Long, R. L. Bates and many others.
Mr.. Cayce is one of the most popu-
lar young men in his neighborhood.
Miss Holbock is a general favorite in
Charleston and in this city where
she has been a frequent visitor.
A number of handsome presents
were received, showing how highly
the young people are esteemed by
their numerous friends.

Presentation tc Judge Fraser.

The course Of Judge Fraser
throughout the convention and es-
pecially as chairman of the com
mittee on order, style and revision,
has been such as to meet the general
commentator of every one. His
services so admirably rendered are
not only highly appreciated by men,
bers of the convention, but will be
by the people of the State at large.
In recognition of them, his many
friends in the convention yesterday
presented him with an elegant, solid
silver sugar and cream set, including
a number of spoons.
Judge Fraser has been one of the
most modest men in the convention
in SO far as public speaking is con-
cerned, but whenever he said any
thing or suggested any course of &C.
tion, it was generally adopted. The
testimonial presented to him was but
the universal expression of the senti-
ments of members of their apprecia-
tion of his worth as a member of the
cor 7ention, and his merit as lawyer
and jurist.

perintendent, although it was a COM
pound the secret of which was worth
thousands of dollars; 'certainly, cut
off as much as you wish" With
eager step the visitor approached the
roll of gum, took out his knife, wet
the blade in his mouth, and-"Stop
right where you are!" said the super
intendent, laying heavy hand upon
the stranger; ''you are a fraud and
thief. You didn't learn in pulpit
that dry knife won't cut rubber"
So saying, he showed the impostor
to the door, and the secret was still
safe.

Marvellous Results.

From a letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich,
we are permitted to make this ex-
tract: II have no hesitation in recon-
mending DR.. Kings New Discovery
as the results were almost marvellous
in the case of my wife. While I was
pastor of the Baptist Church at
Rivers Janction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding
La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms Of
coughing would last hours with little
interruption and it seemed as if she
could not survive them. A friend
recommended DIR. Kings New Dis
covery; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in results" Trial

Cost Of the Convention.

An estimate Of the pay allowed the
members Of the constitutional con-
vention, ETC., is made up as follows:
Twenty-six days at 81 per day and
forty-fve days at 81 per diem, max
ing seventy one days. On this basis
the members receive $50 for the two
dollar time and $3.50 for the four
dollar time, or 1922 for the entire
time. To this add an average mile
age of $50, which will make the pay
of most of the members run up to
about 1892.
Governor Evans, speaking of the
wo.k Of the convention says he is
much gratifed with the result of the
convention, and that the constitution
is the cheapest ever made in this
country. He estimates the total cost
including the printing, etc, at be-
tween S51, 900 and $4,000.
A settlement with Mr.. S. W. Vance,
the Secretary of the Convention with
Col. Willie Jones, Cashier of the
Carolina National Bank of Columbia,
show the total expense of the con-
vention, with exception of one or two
small bills, to be S53,272.17. To
this may be added the expense of
the Legislature in a necessary pro-
longed session, which will, perhaps,
consume the entire time (40 days.
allowed by the convention.
It will be remembered by the
readers of the Dispatch that one of
the positions of this paper was that
this money could have been saved to
the people by not calling the con-
Vention and in lieu thereof to submit
the necessary amendments direct to
the people at regular election. We
consider that the expenditure of this
S53,272.17 as an extravagant and un-
necessary expenditure Of the peoples
money, because the same results
could have been obtained at a much /
less figure and in way, which, &C
cording to our idea of a government
whose basic principle is "that all
power is derived from the people,
and hence the people are sovereign;
for by submitting amendments TO
them for adoption or rejection it
would have been practically carrying
out this idea and not only in theory
doing so. But, however, the trans
action is done, the money expended,
and the taxpayers will have to foot
he bill, and hence there is 'sno use
,rying over split milk"

Col. Floyd and Mr.. ". 3. Wilson are
after Congressman Straits scalp, SO
gossip has it. Mr.. Patton Of Rich
land is talked about from this Dis
trict. Probably others would like to
go to Congress from these districts
and the others, but the Register is
only giving the gossip going around
among the members of the conven-
tion. None of these gentlemen may
be actual candidates, and all of them
may. The Register vouches for none
of them, but simply takes what has
been heard talked of and gives it to
the public, which in off years as
well as others is always interested in
politics and candidates.
