In the result of the recent election in
MARYLAND, South Carolina has good
object lesson. There are large number
of Negro Republicans in Maryland, and
it has been continuous struggle with the
Democrats to keep them down. Twenty
years ago local self government prevailed
pretty generally all over the State. The
Negroes had large majorities in certain
counties, and in order to secure the gov
ernment of these counties by the Demo-
Gratis, the legislature gave the appointment
of their officers to the governor. From
time to time the Republicans carried
other counties, and the Democrats prompt
ly included these in the list under the pat
ronage of the government, until now, the
system is almost general. The Republic
cans elected the governor in the recent
election, and, as the result, they get con-
troll of most of the election machinery OF
the State, and the Democrats have no
way to help themselves. Our South Car
olina lawmakers may look for an occur
renee like this sometime. 1t should be
remembered that it is impossible to invent
election machinery that will keep one
party in power forever, and when the
inevitable revolution comes, we may
expect to take ourselves the very same
dose that we have prepared for others.

Alabama Democrats are going TO have

Alabama Democrats are going to have
lively family fight over the silver ques-
ton. The Democratic leaders held a
meeting at Birmingham last Friday for
the purpose of discussing the best course
to pursue. AS the outcome of the discus
sion, Governor Oates announced his will
ingness to lead the sound money Demo-
Gratis, and Senators Morgan and Pugh
and Congressman Bankhead offered to
head the free coinage people. 1t was
agreed to settle the matter by primary,
in which all voters should pledge them
selves to support the nominee. Hereto
fore it has been required of voter that
he must have supported the Democratic
ticket at the previous general election.
The new arrangement will allow Popu-
lists and all other free-silverites to vote,
and Morgan and Pugh are confident OF
success. They will support for governor,
Joseph f. Johnson, Of Birmingham, who
was defeated by Governor Oates in 1894.

GENERAL WEAKNESS"

The constitutional convention had quite
a laugh last Saturday at the innocent
expense Of Two of the York county dele
gates-M essrs. j. S. Brice and 4. Fl.
White. The joke has been told in the
papers.
1t seems that when member desires to
get excused, he sends up to the president
a written request in which he states the
reason. Consideration of the request
brings about brief lull in the proceed
ings, during which the newspaper report
ers, among others, have nothing to do.
On Friday afternoon Mr.. j. S. Brice
received a telegram from Ninety-Six,
announcing the illness Of his little daugh-
ter, and urging his presence. Not having
time to attend to the matter himself, he
asked Major White to write for him a
request to be excused.
The reporter for the Columbia Register
is Mr.. p. NJ. Brice, and the reporter for
The News and Courier is Mr.. August
kohn. Both are inclined to practical
joking. While President Evans was dis
posing Of the request just mentioned, Mr..
Kohn amused himself by sending up Il
request to the effect that Mr.. P. NJ. Brice
be excused on account of general weari-
ness" Tie president saw the joke, smiled
and mislaid the sclap of paper, which
happened to find its way into the hands
of the journal clerk who, no doubt, think
ing there was some mistake, changed the
initials up. NJ" to 81. ST." and entered
the balance as written.
Next morning, the journal contained a
paragraph to the effect that "at the request
of Mr.. \. Fl. White, Mr.. J. S. Brice had
been excused on account Of general wear
iness.'" Major White said that the entry
was mistake and he desired to have it
corrected. But here it is in your own
handwriting" insisted the clerk, and
there was general laugh at the expense
of the major. Although it was quickly
explained that pressing business" was
the ground OH which Major White had
asked that Mr.. Brice be excused most of
the members were of opinion that so far
as they were concerned, they would be
glad to go home on the plea Of general
weariness."

YORKVILLE, S. G. {:
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 13, 1895.

The Atlanta Journal has thrown it up
to The Constitution that, so far, eight
States, with total representation of 300
in the National Democratic convention,
have declared against the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver, and only one
Mississippi-with a total of is delegates,
has declared for the 16 to ratio. The
Constitution replies with a reference to
the hocus pocus by which the different
States were induced to abandon Demo-
cratic principles, and gives the figures to
show that in the recent elections, Missis-
sippi was the only State to be carried by
the Democrats.

The Rock Hill Herald of last Saturday
quotes The ENQUIRER as having said
"This fear cannot be questioned by any
body who reads the newspapers" and
proceeds to make some funny remarks
based OH the words questioned" Refer
ence to our issue of last Friday will show
that we did not use the word "ques-
toned :" but the word "entertained." In
another funny paragraph, The Herald
charges in effect that we consistently ig-
more it's editorial structures. Granting the
last statement to be true, it seems that
even The Herald should be intelligent
enough to know the reason why.

can be done with the consent of both
powers interested. One of the strong
est arguments that is being advanced
in favor of abrogation, is the fact that
the treaty does not amount to anything
practical anyway. In these days it is
an easy matter to construct warships
in one part of the country by sections,
and transfer them to any other part of
the country by rail. If the matter Is
pushed with persistence, the probabili-
ty is that the treaty will be abrogated.

Word Uoinage.

The proceedings Of the Lexow
committee, says Frank Leslie's
Weekly, have thus far developed
three new words, formed after the
manner Of boycott and burke--"to
Parkhurst," ito Goff," and "to
Schmittberger." They are hardly
popular coinages, and seem destined
to be ephemeral. What really bids
fair to survive, etymologically speak
ing, from these Investigations, is
some OF the slang used by the wit
nesses. Pantata is already as firmly
fixed in the popular vocabulary as
boss, and to "throw q scare into a
man." in the sense of to intimidate,
has passed current ever since the
green goods witness Apo used it in
court. In regard to words, 1t is
worth noting that after half GEN.

Boston Traveller has dropped the
superhuous from its name.
