THE ENQUIRER does not approve OF
the action of the constitutional conVentlor
in striking out the provision in the suf'
frage article requiring that the two strong
est political parties participating IN eiec'
tions shall have representation Oh the
boards of election managers. To us II
seems as if the provision was calculated te
reduce any possibility of fraud to mini
mum, and more important to us now and
hereafter than anything else in politics, IL
honest elections.

Though the constitutional conven'
tion's disposition of the suffrage question
seems to have been about the best tha'
could have been made, under all the CIR
cumstances, we think that those who nave
begun to feel that there need be no more
uneasiness on account Of the Negro ques-
ton, are deceiving themselves. This ne"
arrangement will leave about 6O,ONegro
votes and about 100, 900 whites. A division
Oh the line of color leaves the whites the
best Of it; but now, since the situation has
cleared up somewhat, there will soon De
division along other lines. The whites are
bound to be somewhere nearly divided
Nature and philosophy will keep the
Negro vote practically solid. We hope
that such will not he the case; but we
believe it will. AS the result, the Negro
will have the balance of power, and be III
position to dictate terms.

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.

The grand jury submitted its final report
on yesterday and was discharged. The
report is as follows:
To His Honor, D. A. Townsend, Presid-
ding Judge: We, the grand jury of York
county, through our foreman, beg to hand
YOU the following as our final present
ment:
We have acted on all the various bills
given to us by the solicitor in such man
ner as seemed to be required by law.
We have not considered it necessary to
make an examination Of the books OF the
various county officers during this term OF
the court. We had the work performed
during the year by thoroughly compe-
tent and responsible expert and found
everything correct. We feel assured that
another examination at this time would
result the same way, and, therefore, we
consider it unnecessary.
A committee of our number visited the
Door house. We are pleased to report
that this institution is under q competent
and intelligent management, and that it is
practically selfsustaining. We wish to
especially commend the superintendent
for his general efficiency, and we have nc
recommendation to make in regard to the
management Of the institution except
that we think that all the buildings in
connection with it should be kept insured
The roads of the county generally are III
a bad condition. In. some few places they
have been worked fairly well but in most
cases they have been sighted in accord
ance with long established custom, and
we are at loss as to what recommends
tion we could make that would be calcu-
lated to bring about an improvement.
1t has been reported to us that Fishing
Creek bridge, on the Saluda road, in
Bethesda township, is in dangerous
condition, and we recommend that the
county board at once take steps to have il
put in proper repair.
A certain distillery, located four miles
southwest of Yorkville, and operated by
S. S. Weir, has been reported to us by a
large number of citizens living in the
neighborhood, as nuisance. An cXam-
ination into the matter has convinced us
that the report is well sustained by the
facts, and we recommend that Solicitor
Henry take such steps as may be neces-
sary to have this nuisance suppressed.
At the spring term of the court, it was
called to our attention that NJ. S. Carroll,
ESQ.,, trial Justice for York township, was
habitually Incorporate, and on that ac-
count untitled for the discharge of the
duties of his office. \ committee of our
number waited OH Mr.. Carroll and in
formed him that unless there was a
change in his conduct we would take such
action as might be called for i'll the prem
iscs. Evidence has been presented to us
showing that Mr.. Carroll has several
times since been untitled for the perform
ance of his duties by reason Of intoXica-
ton, and we hereby recommend that the
solicitor lay the case before the governor.
In our opinion, the best interests Of the
county require that Mr.. Carroll be re-
moved from office.
During our incumbency as grand jul
rors, we have carefully noted the opera
ton of the law as administered by our

- John C. Rose, a wealthy New
Yorker, has long been haunted with a
fear that he might be buried alive.
He had heard of people having been
buried for dead and afterward coming
to life in their coffins, and the stories
preyed on his mind. He died last
week, and in his will was found a pro-
vision enjoining upon his executors
that they must put his body in cas-.
ket, leave the top unfastened, and
put the casket in a vault with the door
unlocked. Not only this, they must
provide a guard of two men to watch
the body night and day for 80 days, or
until there was positive evidence that
actual death had occurred. His in
structions are being complied with to
the letter; but as yet there has been
nothing to indicate that he is likely to
wake up soon.

The Columbia Register has published
q norton Of the address issued by the
State Democratic executive committee
during the campaign, to show that the
suffrage question as now practically set
tied by the convention, is not in accord
ance with the pledges to the people. The
publication, however, is entirely unneces-
sary. The man who did not know at the
time that the pledge was made that II
could not be carried out, could not be con-
WINGED by The Register or any other
agency that it has not been fulfilled to the
letter.

We are not surprised at the Carney
people for being so anxious to incorporate
Cherokee township in their proposed new
county. The territory in which the pro-
posed county is to be erected, with tne
exception of Gaffney City, is miserablJ
poor, and they want Cherokee to help bea'
the big burden oftaxation that Will nave
to be assumed.

The suggestion to erect monument
to the memory of General Mart Gary IS
GOOD one, and we hope it will be success
fully carried into effect. Perhaps there
are not as many great South Carolinians
living now as there have been in times
past, and perhaps there are few no"
living who are deserving Of monuments
1t may be that there are many VINO are
more deserving of monuments than 'en'
eral Gary ; but all the same, this tribute te
the grand old patriot will not be amlss
Among other things, it will have ten
dency to teach the whole people to more
than ever appreciate the efforts OF those
who spend their life in the public service

- Late cablegrams from London
indicate that the situation in Tur-
key is, to say the least of it, threat
ening. The united powers of Eu'
rope, with the exception of Russia
and France, have informed the sultan
that unless he speedily brings about
certain reforms, they will take hand.
The sultan is afraid that if he attempts
the reforms indicated, he will precipi-
tate a revolution, and he does not
know exactly what to do. The pow
ers seem to show no disposition to re-
treat from the position they have ia
ken and the outlook is that before
many more days there will be some
startling developments.
