DEFEAT OF LORD ROSERERY,s
MINISTRY.

Mr.. Campbell Zimmerman Secretary of
War, has been rebuked for not strengthen
ing the army fast enough, for that is the
meaning of the adoption of the motion
to reduce his salary one hundred pounds,
Some of the Liberal members apparently
voted for the motion. This rebuke of a
particular member of the Cabinet is not
tantamount to an expression of want of
confidence in che ministry, and the latter
is not bound to accept it as such and
resign. But the latest reports seem to in
dicate that the ministry has concluded to
accept it.as notification to get--out and
will get out accordingly. Probably its
feeling is that it would be better to take
advantage of this vote to resign rather
than attempt to prolong hopeless
struggle, for it has been apparent fol
some time past that Lord Rosebery's gov.
ernment was too weak to last long. II
the ministry resigns Lord Salisbury will
be summoned to Windsor, and the task
devolyed upon him of forming a new
government But as regards the House
Of Commons he will be in a worse situa.
tion than Lord Rosebery, for he will not
have even a nominal majority behind
him. An early dissolution of Parliament
and an appeal to the country seem there
fore inevitable.
The Liberals are not in good trim to go
into general election. That they have
themselves virtually confessed by under
taking to staye off dissolution, when
their simplest course would have been,
had they felt strong, to have appealed to
the country and put working majority
behind their prime minister in the House
OF Commons. The bye-elections of late
have also shown that the Liberals have
been losing ground. L. The trouble has
been that they have never been strong
enough in the present House to put
through the reforms that they promised
in the general elections, and hence have
disappointed their constituents At the

MONDAY, JUNE "a.

The ease with which the Republican
League convention suppressed the 16 to
l boomers shows that there were not a
great many of them, though they started
in to make good deal of noise. The
convention spared their feelings some
what by referring the whole subject of
the currency to the next Republican con-
yention instead of overwhelmingly voting
down their hobby as it easily might have
done, but the effect to convince them
that the 16 to 1 coinage idea has no stand
ing in the Republican party was quite as
strong.

It is pure, unadulterated hypocra.
cy for a man to say that he is en-
deavoring to tear up our election
laws because it is patriotic duty.
Caldwell, who is Pope's associate,
sets up such a claim and points to his
war record to prove himself a patriot.
LoDgstreet was a gallant soldier and
won lsurels on fields OF carnage.
Malone was another, but when the
war ended and the white people Of
the South were shackled and op.
pressed, how long did these men
stand by their people? Did they
not desert them and go over to the
enemy? We have no doubt that
Caldwell did do his duty in the war
thousands of others did, also-but
because he did his duty once is no
reason why he should be licensed to
plunge traitorous blade into the
hearts of his people now, and any
man who will sell his ability, to bring
ruin upon the people that once hon
ored him is a traitor of the deepest
dye.

United , SfateS Gun BoatH ordered 10 Tro-
ceed to Nicaraguan Ports.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Aftcr several
conferences yesterday with Secretary
Gresham and Secretary Herbert, the
secretary of the navy sent dispatches
to commanders of the United States
gunboats. Alert and the Atlanta, di-
recting them to proceed without delay
to San Juan del Sur, and Greytown,
Nicaragua, respectively. The Alert IS
at Panama and it will take her about a
day and half to reach San Juan del
Sur, which is the cable station nearest
Corinto, situated about 100 miles below
that port. The Atlanta is at Key West,
Fla, and can make the distance of $50
miles from that place to Greytown in
two and a half days. When Secretary
Herbert was asked the significance OF
these orders, he answered promptly as
follows:
The newspapers say tha. q revolution Is
probable in Nicaragua. They state that the
people are very much disSatifled with the
course Of the government and are likely to at
tempt to overthrow Il. In order to protect the
interests of American citizens. their lives and
property, and following the policy always pur-
sued in such contingencies, I have ordered the
Alert to San Juan del Sur and the Atlanta to
Greytown. In addition to these vessels. the

7th for Greytown, conveying the Nicaraguan
canal commission to that place. The Monte
rey. which has sailed for Panama, will remain
at Panama for the present With two United
States ships on one side OF Nicaragua and one
ship on the other side. 1t is plain that Aneri-
can interests will be well protected II the ru-
mored revolution should take place"

Manning Twists Columbia'S Tail.

The announcement of the citizens
of this town having entered the race
for the Epworth Orphanase has
aroused the city OF Columbia and has
caused the Columbia Register to
sound q tocsin Of alarm. This es,
teemed contemporary, after stating
the amount already subscribed by
our citizens, in a leading editorial
says:
"Manning is regarded as one of the least
formidable of Columbia's competitors for
the Orphanage, and what Manning has al
ready done ought to show Columolans
that if they want to secure the Orpnanage
they will have to go down deep IN their
pockets. The committee which has been
soliciting subscriptions has done exceed
incly well, but more is needed to make 1t
certain that Columbia will distance her
competitors.
Columbia, on account of its size,
may regard Manning as not being q
formidable competitor for this insti-
tuition, but if it will consider the
beauty and health of our town, be-
sides the makeup Of its society and
the broad and liberal spirit of our
citizens, it will come to the con-
clusion that Manning is strong
rival for such an Institution. II
should be located where the people
are not hide-bound in prejudice and
conceit. In all matters our people
are liberal they accord to every
man an honest motive until the con-
trary is shown. They do not belittle
themselves by constantly sneering at
those whom the majority love and
honor. They do not mix politics
with business, and are always ready
and willing to invite and aid in a
worthy cause. Columbia, on the
other hand-that is, if some Of the
editorial utterances in the State are
to be taken as an indication Of the
sentiments opposed to any and
every thing which can not be con-
trolled by a select repudiated few.
A choral society can not give an
entertainment but what its effect is
ruined by slurs being thrown at the
men whom the people have entrusted
with leadership. When location
for a charitable institution is being
looked for, those in charge of the
work would like to find a community
where the people do not allow petty
prejudices to govern them in society
and business, and in Manning they
will find the place they want. The
people of Manning want the Ep-
worth Orphanage, and if, besides
other advantages, more money is
needed, it can be obtained.

paid no rent to the Pullman company
since the beginning of the great strike,
have been served with notices of evic-
ton. All of the heads of these fami-
lies were employed in the shops before
tho strike, but none of them was able
to get back The Pullman officials say
there is no black list" but by an odd
coincidence certain men are invariably
told that there is no work for them,
while other men are taken on even
while the foreman is asserting that no
more help is needed. The man who is
blamed for this is Manager Middleton.
The sufferers believe that MIR. Pullman
is ignorant of their condition.

New ZION, s. c., April %. 1885.
Editor Manning Times:-I write you the
current news of this vicinity. Tobacco
planting seems to be all the go here can
count twenty-five new barns in course Of
erection in an area of five miles The
plant beds are backward on account of the
severe winter and late spring, but the
plauts look well if small. We will have
ample facilities to handle our tobacco
next fall, as there are two warehouses in
Florence, two in Darlington, one in Sumter
and one in Timmonsville The more the
merrier, as competition will enhance the
price of tobacco.
Our farmers are very backward in their
crops SO far OF account of the rains.
The corn-stands on upland are very
good.
Very little cotton has been planted as
yet. The area in this crop has been
materially cut down. Large provision
crops have been planted. We believe in
having more "hog and hominy.'
Your scribe q short while ago had the
pleasure of attending at the Pine Grove
Methodist Church the closing exercises of
the Pine Grove Academy, under the man.
agement of that competent and efficient
instructor, the Rev. Ralston E. Smith, and
his able assistant, Miss Laura Turbeville,
who has been quite recently happily
married to Mr.. Walter Castine. The
academy had very large attendance Of
scholars, and the patrons were delighted
with the manner in which it was con-
Quoted and the progress their children
made in their studies, as was attested by
the praises bestowed upon Mr.. Smith and
his charming assistant on all sides. The
programme consisted Of dialogues and
declamations by the pupils and each and
every one of them-both teachers and
scholars-acquitted themselves to the
entire satisfaction Of the large and de-
lighted audience present. | do not wish
to draw invidious comparisons, but I can
not refrain from saying that the valedictori-
an acquitted himself in on able manner and
that the young man will yet make his
mark. Then came the dinner, and oh ! We
Gods 1t was just such one that the
wives of the Turbevilles, Greens, CANDLES
and others Of these good folks" know
how to get up. There are two things for
which Salem is famous-good dinners and

haps unnecessary for me to say that did
ample Justice to the saYory vlands, and IN
this respect am always wiling to accord
Justice to the good things Of life by ap-
propriatipg goodly share to my own use
and behoot After this bountiful repast
had been served the audience was treated
to eloquent diseourses on appropriate
subjects by the Rev. Mr.. Wright, the
Methodist minister in charge Of this cir
cult, and the Rev. Mr.. Tenney, the pastor
of Bethel Baptist Church, after which
your scribe wended his way homeward,
'too full for utterance' and with many
misgiyiags for his physical ailments on
the morrow. Happily, got there all the

About Twenty Per Cent Have Failed to

- WASHINGTON, April 26.-Revised cal

estimate placed the number Of delin-
quents at about 10 per cent. Each day
adds to the difficulties and perplexities

observed by the officials in regard to
individual cases, it is generally under

completely. This is said to be part!cu-

are classed in this category. and sever

how it will terminate is hard to fore
