taken from the middle of a column
editorial on "Shams":
"This country all over is going to
destruction on the downward slides OF

promises for help to secure their ele'
walton; they claim to be men Of high
est honor endowed with the noblest
traits, and after Caesars crown is won
they trample on the noblest Roman
OF them all. Is it not a fact that il
politics truth, honor and fidelity t
friendship are almost obsolete ele

impoverished by an unconscious inf

not true that because Of this sham
because of these betrayals of popular
confidence the poor are growing poore
and the rich richer? Is it not true
that the chances for the average mai

Regarding the South Carolina sys-
TEN the Review Of Reviews SAYS ed
itorially in its May issue: "The peo-
pie OF South Carolina, outside of the
old liquor interest and certain polit.
ical circles, have become almost
unanimous in the opinion that the
system is splendid success. Gov
ernor Evans, when in the legislature,
was the chief promoter of the dis.
pensary law, and now that he is in
the executive chair, he is quite as
staunch in maintaining and enforcing
the system as was Governor Tillman.
Railway roadmasters and other men
familiar with conditions throughout
the state, are enthusiastic in their
account Of the good effects that the
law has already produced. Drunk

to, a remarkable extent; and whereas
the negro laborer Was formerly &C.
customed to spend his weeks earn
ings in carousing on Saturday night
and Sunday, he is now spending
more upon his family, or else saving
his money to buy land. The ten or
twelve state dispensaries in the city
of Charleston, which have taken the
place OF scores or hundreds of sa-
looms, are as openly conducted and
as orderly as any drug store, and are
absolutely closed at shutdown. The
effect upon the quiet and order Of
the city has been too transforming
to admit of any denial. Reports
from country towns throughout the
state are to the effect that the closing
of the old bar.rooms in favor of the
new dispensaries has been attended
with results that have converted al
most every good citizen to a belief
in the present system. In view oil
the widely circulated reports in dis
paragement of the South Carolina
dispensaries, these facts ought to be
given wide publicity" The South

COMPLICATIONS WILL ARISE,

Dissatisfaction Over a Department Order
Regarding White Earth Lands.
WHITE EARTH, Mimi, April 15.-The
Chippewa commission has received in
structions from Washington to allot no
lands to persons of mixed white and
Indian blood who have had scrip issued
to them under former treaties, and to
cancel the allotments already made to
such persons. The enforcement of such
an order will work great hardship in
many cases, and serious complications
may arise in consequence. The act Of
Jan. IA, 1889, under which so much
money has been expended, required the
assent of two-thirds of the Indians to
become law. A bare two-thirds ma
jority was obtained and the withdrawal
of scrip-holders under former treaties
from participating in the benefits of
the act will necessarily invalidate their
signatures to the same, and their num-
Der is sufficient to make the act null

laid the bill away and will take it up
again as a special order.

killed and the Shurme.er prison labor bill
