The Creditors Arc Not All Rich.

We believe that Il careful research
into the records OH file in the offices Of
county and town clerks will reveal that
there are quite as many people Of lin
tied means who loan money on chatrel
and real estate mortgages as t5ere IRA
lenders Of this class of loans among the
people Of large means. 1t Is useless 10
deny that the man or woman who has
a few hundred dollars laid aside Is as
anxious TO loan this amount on good 81
curity as are the wealthy people. in
fact, thousands of mortgages are Dcld
by. this class, who, IL free and unlimited
coinage should be adopted by the Uni
ted States, thereby would lose half of
their money SO loaned. Who, then.
would be the greater sufferers by -
pudiation-these people of limited
means, or those who have greater BE-.
longings. such as those who are called
rich? The answer is easy.-Albany

MORGAN to Whitney.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Senator
John T. Morgan Of Alabama has ad-
dressed an open letter on the silver
question to the hon. VIM. G.. Whit
ney in response to the latter'S COM
munication of June 81. After saying
that Mr.. Whitney's letter is entitled
to the respect which it receives from
the whole people," Mr.. Morgan dis.
cusses somewhat the question Of an
international agreement and says: 1T
seems to be q very vague and distant
hope that Great Britain will ever yield
to European or American States real
participation in her financial policy
by treaty agreements. The Senator
assumes that no American statesman
can present such plan as our govern
ment will ever consent to adopt or
or can agree to under the constitution,
and makes the friendly challenge to
Mr.. Whitney to state the plan which
you would advise the Democracy 10
accept as basis, at least for an inter
national agreement. The Senator
concluded as follows: "Asyou seem
to agree with the Democracy of the
South and West that silver should be
fully remonetized l respectfully sub
nit it to your candid judgment whe-
ther this restoration OF the rights OF
our people is not more justly to be eX-
pected from the action and power Of
our own government, that has never
failed in such an effort, than from
Great Britain or any combination OF
European powers who will do nothing
Of the kind, except upon The induce
ment of some selfish motive

Conscience VS.. Pocketbooks.

The New York Times believes there
is cause for serious reflection in the
fact that the largest contribution ever
made to the conscience fund, " at
Washington was one amounting to
S5, 200, received lately from somebody
in En- gland. Now, S., 900 is not sum
of such magnitude. when compared
with the losses which this Government
has sustained from time to time
through one form of iniquity or an.
other, as to give very exalted idea Of
the power of conscience over pocket
books. Not infrequently the inner
monitor succeeds in persuading sim
ners to demonstrate their penitence by
sending a dollar or two to National,
State or municipal Treasurers occasion
ally its influence is strong enough to
produce effects running into three tig-
ures, but somewhere among the first
ten thousands the limit is reached.
This is decidedly queer, for one might
imagine that the mental suffering pro-
duced by big theft would be much
more poignant and more likely to be
unendurable than the diSquietude fol-
lowing an insignificant peculation.
That such is not the case simply IL
illustrates the perversity OF man.

burst took place last night which GOV
cred a wide area and was the most de-

Houses were swept away, stock OF all
kinds drowned, and persons narrowly
escaped with their lives. In some
streams the water rose twenty feet IN
ten minutes aud came on The people
almost as suddenly as the Johnstown
food and was very much like that
flood ia many respects. Crops are
ruined on the little Muskingum for
twenty miles, and on many of the
small tributaries OF the Ohio above
here. The Cleveland and Marietta
and Ohio River Railroads are greatly
damaged and trains delayed. The loss
will reach hundreds of thousans OF
dollars. The details are meagre but
but is feared that the worst has not
been told.

Says Trusts Must Go.

The gigantic trusts and other forms
Of financial combination are the cause
ofthe discomfort and uneasiness of the
people. Trusts must CO." Thus spoke
Justice Brown of the United States
supreme court to the Chicago bar as
sociation. It was at the banquet OF
welcome to the distinguished jurist.
'The conditions of the last few years, y
said the speaker, which have pro-
duced financial trusts and trade COM
binatlons, are the one unfortunate re-
suit of The inventive genius and mer-
camille enterprise which have so sig
naily marked our latter day civiliza-
ton. That from this has grown ten
dency to institute classes in this coun-
try setting one up against the other,
embittering the poor against the rich,
and antagonizing the rich against the
poor, is undeniable. What the ulti.
mate outcome OF all this will be no
one can now surely say. That it will
not result in socialism l am as certain
as am that men will not willingly
relapse from civilization into barbar-
ism. Thai it will notresult in the ab-
sorption of all the means of living by
few am equally certain. But no
man, under our form OF government,
can be regarded as absolutely free
who is not totally independent Of all
other men in the opportunity OF max
ing living. Unfortunately, however,
it has been true from all time and is
now that the majority of mankind is
not so independent, but is dependent
for the privilege of earning its susie
nance on the assent or will Of others.
The only relief which appears to me
for these conditions is in an absolute
obedience of all, rich and poor alike,
to the law of the land. That the feel
ing of social unrest now prevails
will ultimately find an equitable set
tlement am certain. That the courts
of this country will have the great
part in this settlement am equally
certain. And that the reputation OF
these courts shall remain as Untouched
by suspicion in the future as they have
been in the past must be the earnest
wish or all people who love their coun.
try" Justice Brown is eminently cor
rect in what he says about the trusts,
but little off in what he says about
the courts. When it comes to the
United States courts the trusts have it
pretty much their own way. At least
that is the way it strikes US.

CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.
Curious Statements Made by GreenvIle
Politicians.

4 politician, who has the reputation
OF keeping well up with the reyolu-
tons CT the political kaleidoscope IN
South Carolina made the following
significant statement to a reporter yes
terday:
I'D. A. Tompkins has been from the
beginning the pattern maker, so to
speak, for the Reform machine shops.
He is the silent man in ali conferen-
ces. Has heard all and said nothing.
''He is the uncle Of John Carr E7-
ans by marriage. He is also father
in-Iaw to John Y. Duncan, who
proved to be the dark horse at Man
ming for the United States Senate
Duncan knew what he was doing
when he made the charges (virtually)
that John Gary Evans was in the
bond deal. He would never have
taken that bold position if he had not
had in reserve the proofs to sustain it.
Tillman has had nothing to do with
the deal, more than to advise DR.. Bates
to accept the fee from the synd; d;cate
Tillman will not help John Gary out
Of his trouble.
These things being known to only
select few, influences were adroitly
put in motion to scare Off all other
candidates till the door closed at II
o'clock at night on the 22d.
John Gary will be knocked out
and his fall will be like that of hump
ty dumpty.
Another prominent Reformer made
similar predictions and added:
But this dark horse move means
more than this. I believe charges will
be made against Governor Evans in
regard to his connection with the State
Dispensary and such enormous charges
that the bond scandal won't be in it. J"
Jack Cranston was formerly the
partner Of the Governors brother, B.
r. Tillman. Cranston is now the
agent of Waters & Company, big
wholesale whiskey concern Of Baltl-
more, and recently he has been given
exclusively the orders for whiskey for
the State Dispensary."
well, suppose he was; that's the
Board of Controls business"
Now don't fly off at the handle,
young man, and I'll explain, " said the
politician. That Board OF Control
has not been convened for the past
year. What orders have been given
have, therefore, been given by the
Governor. There are several hundred
thousand dollars involved in this con-
nection.
You watch the campaign smoke.
Dan Tompkins is no fool. IfTillman
has Withdrawn the props from under
John Gary Evans, which the circum.
stances seem to indicate, he will fail. J"

JUDGE J. II. EARLE


Judge Joseph H. Earle was born in
Greenyille County, S. c., April 80,
1S47. He was educated at the Furman
University, taught school for few
years in Clarendon County, and was
in 1866, appointed principal Of the
Chick Springs Academy, in Greenville
County, where he remained for two
years and discharged the responsible
duties of that position with fidelity
and ability. He was admitted to the
Bar in 1870, and practiced law at An
derson Court House until 1875, at
which time he removed to Sumter.
He was the Democratic nominee for
the House in 1876, but withdrew from
the race a short time before the cleo
ton. He was nominated again
by the Democrats for the House,
in 1878, and was elected. He
served one term in the Legislature,
and in 1882 was elected Senator, which
position he filed with ability and with
fidelity to his constituents and the
State. Judge Earle was delegate to
the National Democratic Convention
IN 1880, and again IN 1854, ana was
chosen to represent South Carolina in
the committee which notified Cleve-
land of his nomination. In 1886 he
was elected Attorney General Of the
State, filling the office for two terms
with distinction and ability. In 1890,
when Senator Tillman made the race
for Governor Judge Earle was nomi-
mated as his opponent and he received
the support of many people. When
the two factions were formedin the
State he declined to ally himself with
either Of them, maintaining an lnGe-
pendent attitude as Democrat. When
beaten for the Gubernatorial nomlna-
ton by Capt. Tillman he accepted his
defeat and supported the nominees OF
the party. His subsequent political
course for time somewhat estranged
him from many Of the people who
supported MIN most warmly for the
Governorship. 4 few years ago be
moved from Sumter to the city OF
Greenville, where he continued his
practice OF the law. At the last meet

Rhind's name was not mentioned.
This does not sound like a man who
was getting part OF Rhind's profit. It
will be seen that this quarrel arose
among members of the syndicate, who
claim that Mr.. Lancaster, who was a
partner in the deal, should not receive
a certain part of Mr.. Rhind's commits,
sions, butshould divide with his breth'
rem. In order to show that Lancaster
had deceived them and thus get q
standing in Court some of them had
sworn that Lancaster told them he was
to get nothing but his travelling ex'
penses and that the rest went to politi.
