BIG CUT IN SALARIES,
The Custom House Officials
Alarmed Over a Threat
ened Reduction.
Two Hundred Men Will be Affected by
the Order Alrea3y Operating
in New York.

The Custom-house employes-that is,
those whose salary is not fixed quantity
are visibly disturbed over promised
reduction of 25 per cent in their earnings.
The affected parties are not talking very
much. but they are doing a lot of thinking,
in which Uncle Sam comes in for large
slice of criticism.
The cut has already been ordered in New
York and other Eastern cities, and as the
service is the same throughout the United
States, it is only question of time before
the local officers will be notified of the re-
duction. 1t will affect at least 225 men.
and involve combined loss OF several
thousand dollars month.
The deputies in the offices OF the Col
lector, Surveyor, App; aiser and about $50
clerks are the main people involved.
The cost of collecting duties in San
Francisco is much greater than in New
York, Philadelphia or Boston, but it is
considerably below that of New Orleans.
Tne percentage in the larger cities is as
follows: New York. 2.6 per cent; Phila-
delphia, 81 per cent; Boston, 81 per cent;
San Francisco, ~ per cent; Baltimore. S.3
per cent; New Orleans, 1874 per cent.
The big cut went into effect in New
York on the 1st of the current month. and
no less than 1900 clerks will find them
selves one-quarter shy of their regular
earnings when the next payday rolls
round.
Chief Deputy Collector Jerome is one of
the Custom-house officers subject to the
cut. He said yesterday, however, that lie
was not in the least alarmed over the situ-
alton. as the same thing had happened
twice before.
"If the appropriation runs short" he
said, 1.-The most natural thing to do
is 10 cut the non-salaried men. The next
deficiency bill will cover any shortage, so
there is no occasion for alarm. If the in
terested parties don't ike it they can quit.
We have not as yet received notice of the
reduction, but if it is operating in New
York, it of course effects the San Fran
cisco Custom-house."

The campaign meeting at Marion
last Saturday was the largest yet
held. We were present and it was
noticeable fact that the Marion peo-
pie appeared intent listeners to the
speeches; they had heard so much
about the "bond deal that they
wanted to hear it from the parties
making the charge and from the
party who stands charged.
Another cause of interest was the
Congressional race. It had been
announced that Hon. John L. Nc
Laurin would be opposed by Col. W.
D. Evans, and it was expected to be
a bitter fight. Many man went to
Marion for no other purpose than to
hear John McLaurin wade into his
opponent; for it was known that on
account of matters the people OF the
district are not interested in, & Nc
Laurin had made some mortal
enemies among the politicians in that
county. McLaurin knowing where
the opposition were located got his
artillery iu shape and went there
fully prepared to she'll them out OF
their hiding places. Fortunately,
however, Hon. W. D. Evans with
drew from the fight, which left Nc
Lauriu master of the situation with
not single opponent. He therefore
was forced by his maenanimous spirit
to forgive his enemies and to take
down his guns from the political
ramparts.
The withdrawal of Colonel Evans
we think was highly proper and un-
der the circumstances patriotic. Had
be continued in the race, it would

the governor harassed.
Who got The commissions? is
daily query from such newspapers
as the News and Courier and the
State, but neither one Of them have
dared to charge the governor with
corruption. They have published his
explanation and still they cry 'who
got the commissions? This question
seems to be their campaign cry,
and Duncan with parrot-like imita-
ton is repeating it at every meeting.
If these newspapers wanta motto for
the campaign we will give them the
right to use ours, 'tunias looslbus
Ben-or-buaques coattalllrun" and
they can place it on the Senatorial
banner of their favorite candidate
Judge Joseph H. Earle.
When Ben Tillman was candidate
for the Senate his enemies attempted
to be-fuddle the people by insinuatins
that he stole money in the bond deal.
They pressed their insinuations SO
far that be was forced to procure
certificates from the banks at Colum-
bia and the clerk of court at Edge
field to prove that he had been SLAM
dered. When the charge was hrSt
.52.e3 t, some weakened Reform
IS ~era willing to give ear 10 the
aiu>s ald they did then as they are
dong now with John GaryEvans,hesl,
.ale ani said that 'swhere there is
smoke there must be fire.
Readers, that principle will not
work, for if it did no man that ever
did any active work for the Reform
cause could ever hope to get beyond
the reach of the venomous tongue Of
slandero%s political enemies. We
have heard Governor Evans expla-
nation of his connection with the
bond transaction twice, and have read
it once and we fail to see where in
the slightest he places himself in a
suspicious position. When he was
candidate for governor the bond
transaction was fresh, why did not
bis enemies come forward then with
charge; they certainly knew as
much then as they know now. Is
there white man in this State who
honestly believes it is wrong for a
lawyer to represent his client in a
case in which his State who he is
serving has not one cent of interest.
This is Governor Evans position; his
client has money locked up by an in
junction in a Baltimore court; the
State has no interest in it whatever,
if Governor Evans client looses, the
State gets nothing and if his client
gains the suit the State gets nothing.
Why? simply because the State long
before injunction and before John
Gary Evans became governor re-
ceived its entire money as stipulated
in its contract with the bond syndi-
cate. AS far as the State is concerned
it would not matter if the commits
sions now enjoined in Baltimore were
taken out in the street and set on
FIRE; the fight there is between the
brokers and the syndicate, with the
State clean out of it, not even quiet
looker-on in Venice The enemies
of Governor Evans are getting quite
sick OF trying to defeat him on the
bond question, and now they are be-
ginning to rake over the entire life of
the man to find something that will
cause tue people to break away from
him. They have turned the earth to
defeat Ben Tillman and failed, and
now it will afford them little salts
faction to kill his able lieutenant.
