"ImpIied Contract

A number OF wise owls talk f1ippantly
about implied contract" on the part OF the
members of the Constitutional Convention
to take 50 day for their services. and many
promoters OF the Convention scheme are try
ing to give this construction to the act Of the
Legislature which attempted to fix the pay OF
members at SO while their own was 81. The
Con vention advocates said in the campaign
that the cost would be only $4,000, and said,
we believe, that the Convention would sit for
three weeks, when the session has been about
three months. We suspect that 1t is fear OF
accountability to the people for the excess OF
$4,000 that the dissenting members are kick
Ing about II the Convention had adjourned
in three weeks they might have voted them
selves $40 day and still kept their contract
with the people to let the Convention cost on
ly So, 900. Senator Tillman, we believe, start
ed the Idea that $50 900 would pay the expense.
The Legislature was presGmptuous In trying
to fix the pay of members OF the Convention
There was not member of the Legislature
that didn't have sense enough to know thai
the proposition was presumptuous and that
they had no right to fix the pay of members
of the Convention. 1t was, to say the least,
inconsistent TO take 81 day for their own
services and undertake to say that the pay oi
a delegate to the State Convention should be
only half of the pay which they were receiv'
ing.
AS matter OF fact all this fuss about the
pay Of members is beneath contempt. AS a
natter Of fact, no man is fit TO sit in Con-
venlion or Legislative body whose services
are not worth IS day. We want no "Cheap
John" representatives from Abbeville.
1t is not the paltry pay of members that af'
feet the people, but II is the heavy appropria-
tions for schools that hurt us.
Owing to the cheap capital that may be
made against the members it may have been
better not to give the mob an opportunity to
complain, but the raise to 81 day was right.
There was no more contract to work for 81
a day than there was that the Convention
should cost only $4,000. Mr.. Tillman. we be-
lieve, made that pledge. Now, let us see II he
will be called to account for the excess.
Without his efforts and pledges the Conven-
tion would never have been held.

Iniursue Abbeyille.

We have heard 1t said that the Atlanta Ex-
position Is to some extent injuring the trade
and business OF Abbeville. The money that
is spent in going to the Exposition would
otherwise be spent in paying debts or in buy
ing goods at Abbeville. And then when peo-
pie 90 to a city they sometime make the
mistake OF buying there the things which
could be better bought at home. When we
have to buy anything while out Of town we
feel as II we had wasted that much. And we
don't trade when we 60 away.

BAD Advice.

The Saluda Sentinel advises the people to
resist the payment OF interest on the railroad
bonds, which we're issued by Ninety-Slx and
other townships. The highest court In the
land has declared that the interest must be
paid. 1t seems to this newspaper that the
Southern people tried to resist the power oi
the United States about thirty-flve years ago
with very unsatisfactory results.

Hot suppers have broken out again in town
and country. with all the virulence possible
They are now Of almost weekly occurrence
In the different peighborhoods, and hundreds
Of people meet together at night to eat and
drink.
The white people generally spend all their
money on these occasions, and the nGgros dc
the same as a rule, but they occasionally dc
more-they cut and shoot each other. Only

Suit Begun at Madison Which will

Madison, Wis, July 1S.-[Special1-
A suit which will be watched with
much interest. not only here but every
where in Wisconsin, has been instituted

plumbers of this city, against William
Owens, George Kraft, Joseph Hussey,
Henry Hask, Anton Metz and James A.
Kelley, other plumbers here and mem
bers of the Master Plumbers association,
recently organized, which FlynH and
Stark refused to join.
The plaintiffs claim that in conse-
quence of this refusal the defendants
willfully conspired to establish virtual
boycott by preventing them from secur-
ing supplies, and that to accomplish this
they willfully conspired and agreed not
to purchase from or deal with any whole
sale dealers or manufacturers of plumb
ing or gasftters' goods who should sell
to or have dealings with the plaintiffs,
and notified dealers who had been in the
habit of selling to plaintiffs that if they
sold to them they would withdraw their
patronage, and that as result the
plaintiffs have been notified by Robert
Rom & Co. and the Thomas Brass and
Iron company of Milwaukee and VOL
colt & Herbert of Chicago, wholesale
dealers, that they refuse TO sell plaintiffs

PLAY 4 WAITING GAME.
Miners Make NO over
lures to the Superin-
tendentS.

Ishpeming, Mich, July 1S.-[Special.l-
The Ishpeming and Negaunee miners
strike presents 10 ma terial change. Fully
1000 Ishpeming men and over 1000 Ne
gaunee men. representing miners and la
borers of various kinds, marched in a
body to the park midway between the
two towns today. The procession here
was headed by two brass bands and at
Negaunee one band led the column. Min
ers who were standing on the streets and
did not turn out were jeered into line
and forced along with the crowd. The
strikers are not yet thoroughly organized
and the daily mass meetings are being
held principally for that purpose.
The men have made known their demands
in general way, but as yet they nave
not waited upon the mine officials. In
the parade this morning banners bearing
the mems grievances were displayed. 1t
now transpires that the delay in the
presentation of the demands of. the men
upon the companies comes from dis
agreement among the men themselves
as to the best policy to be pursued. Many
oppose the appointment of a committee
to wait upon the mine managers, as they
declare that they were sold out by a
similar committee some years ago. These
advocate a Fabian policy, believing that
the best course for the strikers is to wait
for the companies to submit propositions
to them and until that time to keep en-
tireIy aloof from the superintendent.
This policy seemed to have many sup

FLEEING FROM INDIANS.
The Lives Of Settlers in North
western Wyoming Are in
DANCER.

Omaha, Neb., July IA special from
Cheyenne, Wyo, says that Gov. Richards
received kilograms last night signed by
the justice of peace and constable of
Maryville ia the Jackson Hole district
saying:
Nine Indians arrested, one, killed, others
escaped Many Indians reported threatening
lives and property. Settlers are moving
miles away. Want protection. Action on
your part absolutely necessary.
Gov Richards forwarded the message
to the secretary of the interior and asked
him to take immediate action. The gov
ernor says the entire trouble can be
stopped by the secretary of the interior
instructing the Indian agent at Fort Hal
liday to send out his Indian police to call
in all hunting parties of the Indians who
are in Wyoming. If it becomes necessary
to send state troops to the region COM
panies will be sent from Evanston and
Lander.
Washington D. c., July 1.-THE first
official report of the trouble between Ban
mock Indians and settlers in Northwestern
Wyoming reached the interior department.
today. In a dispatch to the secretary of
the interior Gov. Richards says:
l have received advices by mail and tele-
graph reporting the situation as serious.
The Indians are Bannocks from Fort Halli-
day. They. were arrested for illegal and
wanton killing of game. Can you take i'm

settlers?

FIVE SAILORS SCALDED.
A Hot-Water Pipe Bursts on the
Torpedo Boat Erics-

New London, Conn, July 17-Five
sailors, members of the crew of the tor
pedo boat Ericsson were terribly scald-
ed by the bursting of a hot-water pipe
in the engine room today while the boat
wac out on a run preliminary to her speed
trial, which is soon to take place The
men were all brought to this city in the
lighthouse tender Their names and resi-
dences are as follows
Austin Williams, New York city.
Joseph Hamilton. New York city.
David Cody, Jersey City.
William Merwin, Dubuque, Ia.
Jacob Strinsky, Dubuque, Ia.
Details of the accident are very meager
as the Ericsson is still out on the sound
and the injured men are unable to talk
much From one of them. however, a
brief statement was obtained. He said
that the boat was going at the rate Of
about IS knots an hour and was being
pushed to attain the speed of 20 knots.
Suddenly one of the big hot-water pipes
burst with the pressure and covered five
of them with the scalding water. The
men wore only a thin shirt above the
waist and their bodies from the waist up
were practically parboiled The light
house tender Cactus was hailed as she
was going by and the men were placed
aboard and brought to the sailors hos
pital None of them are able to see. It
