ALL HONOR TOTEE PEOPLE.

All honor to the independent vot-
crs of South Carolina, the men who
rcpudiatcd whip and spur of bossism.
The faction of the democratic party
which took the name conservative
when the split occurred in 1890 dis
solved and disappeared with the DC
feat of Sheppard and Orr and has
not since appeared as factor in poll
tics.
The Rcformcrs took charge of
every department of the government
and the people were willing to accept
their administration. Possibly the
State newspaper held back from ac-
ccpiing the situation, but that paper
came out cditoriallv after the meeting
of the State convention and announc-
cd its adhesion and support of the
united democratic party of South
Carolina. From the meeting of the
State convention up to. the primary
on the twcntv-fifth of last month, t
was the feeling of the people in coun-
try and town that all differences were
at an end and when the primary was
held their was warm friendly feel
ing shown and it was hcralled from
one end of the State to the other that
VIC were united people.
On the 2sth of August The Gre, n

"All sectional and factional ami
mosltics are passing away.
THAT there never existed any
reason for the hatred cngcndered by
lmpatriotic politicians.
That it is the duty of the people
to crush any aspirant who tries to
ride into place and power by excit-
mg tactional feeling
This utterancc was copied by the
papers of the State and its sentiments
generally approved. So far as We
know only two prominent men in the
State gave expression to opinions diff
tcring from the views of The News.
Senator Tillman and Governor Evans

THE MARRIAGE RECORD.
Pastor Schneider Performed $50 Ceremo
nies In tho Year Just Ended.

Pastor Schneider Performed $50 Ceremo-
nies In tho Year Just Ended.
Pastor Schneider Of New York, who
marries all the east side girls and their
young men, has just finished figuring
mp the number of ceremonies he per-
formed in 1895 and has found the total
TO be $50. This is record of records,
for it beats anything that Pastor
Schneider ever did before i'm the marry
ing line, and yet for the past five years
he has held the marrying record in this
city, and it is doubtful if any other
minister has eclipsed him during that
period.
Pastor Schneider is Short stout,
good natured German, with a shiny bald
head and genial smile that has sent
courage into the hearts Of many fall
tering couple whose nerve failed tn EN-
on the very edge Of matrimony He
lives in the big four story brick house
at l09 Second avenue, right in the heart
of the German colony, and in one win
dow there is big glass sign, which
reads, "Pastor Schneider. "
At all hours Of the day and night tho
genial German is ready to tie loving
hearts together. He will tumble out of
bed in response to a ring at the bell at 3
O'Clock in the morning as willingly as
he would walk into his front room and
confront a blushing couple at the same
hour in the afternoon. He never has a
word Of reproach for anybody who comes
to him and is as full Of advice as a
London policeman and as careful Of
whom he marries as a Quaker, for if
Pastor Schneider married all who came
to him he would indeed have his hands
full.
During the past year he had to turn
away nearly 300 couples whom his con-
science would not allow him to unite in
marriage, and there was excellent reason
| for his action in each case. Pastor
Schneider does not mean to have a hand
in any fatal marriages. When two
youngsters come TO him, most infre-
| quent occurrence, he sizes them mp and
demands TO know what they want.
When they tell him, he puts on his most
fatherly smile, makes them sit down on
lounge side by side, and then draws a
chair up in front of them and seats him.
self in it. He has a stock lecture foI
such occasions. New York Sun.

A VALUABLE GOOSE.
Bought For $3.50 and Contained a $3.50
Diamond.

Bought EOE 8lsOO anu contained u HAOO
Diamond.
Mrs. Robert Rosenthal of 212 East
Thirty. second street, New York, bought
a goose some days ago from her family
butcher and paid 81 90 for it. Both
Mrs. Rosenthal and the butcher consid-
cred the price fair one.
But when Mrs Rosenthal got home
and began to pluck the feathers and ex-
anime the goose in detail she found that
it was almost as valuable as the good
old bird in the fairy tale that had a
pleasant habit of laying golden eggs.
For, while preparing the bird for the
oven, she felt hard substance in the in
terror which, upon examination, ap-
peared to her to be very much like a
diamond with a small fragment of gold
attached to it. as though it had been set
in a ring.
A knowing friend TO whom Mrs. Ro-
senthal took the stone next day told her
that the gem was a diamond of very
high quality, worth probably $3.50.
Mrs. Rosenthal has been buying geese
ever since, and she always takes charge
of the preparation and cooking herself.
The butcher has raised his prices.

VISION OF DISARMAMENT.
The Century From Afar on BehoIds the
Millennium.


Millennium.
The Century Magazine, in n forth
coming editorial article entitled 1.-THE
Anachronism of War;" will say of the
present situation that reliance must be
had upon the two great lawmaking and
law loving peoples of the world to pluck
the flower safely out of this nettle dan
ger. 1t says:
1.-THE immediate duty before the con-
servative forces of England and America
is to organize for the establishment of
a high class continuous board OF inter
national arbitration. In this matter the
lead may well be taken by the repre-
sentatives Of that religion which is first
pure, then peaceable. With the aid of
the great educational institutions and Of
the vast commercial interests Of the two
lands, and in the present revived atten-
tion to the subject, it ought to be an
easy matter to get parliament's consent
to the opinion already formally express
ed by the congress of the United States
in favor Of the principle of arbitration.
What is needed is a permanent system,
in place Of the piecemeal and haphazard
examples to which we are accustomed,
admirable as their results have already
proved. Once established between Eng
land and America, such system would
gradually spread among the nations OF
Europe, and moro rapidly because Of
a Il foN
iinental war should show a climax OF
horrors Sooner or later arbitration
would he followed by disarmament,
which is the logical sequence Of nc
other premise, and yet will be the turn.
ing point Of the continent toward true
democracy and progress.
However near OF far the ultimate
acceptance of the idea, it would, as be
| tween us and our English cousins, take
| the sting out of the viper of war, to which
/ like the husbandman in the fable, nations
too carelessly give warmth and nourish
| ment on the hearthstone. In the knowl
edge that disputes would be automat
ically settled by an impartial tribuna
| ii would no longer be possible to play {
boisterous tune upon people by pulling
out the stop of patriotism. And it il
not too much to hope that in the spread
of this idea the whole earth would a
least realize the great Iaureate's noblt
vision of, The parliament of man tn,
federation of the world. Herein lies
a great opportunity for the Englisl
speaking race. 1t is mission to kindl,
the imagination ard tho heart. "

Kalamazoo Christians Believe That He Is
Turning.

Turning.
Colonel Robert g. Ingersoll, in his
lecture on "Lincoln" at Kalamazoo,
Mich, the other night, stopped right in
the middle of his discourse and told his
audience that he desired to relate some
incidents of the afternoon. Then he
spoke of his visit to the Peoples church
and said:
''It is the grandest thing in your
state, if not in the whole United States.
If there were similar church near my
home, would join it if its members
would permit me" "
Nothing in the lecture caused such a
stir as this, and when some of Colonel
Ingersoll's friends escorted him to the
hotel they asked him if he was in ear
nest about the statement, and he is said
to have replied that he was very much
in earnest, and if opportunity ever was
given him of joining such a church he
would seize it quickly.
1t now seems that when the colonel
arrived in Kalamazoo he was taken to
visit the Peoples church, of which
Miss Caroline J. Bartlett is the pastor
This church was built through the lib
erality Of Silas Hubbard, who be.
queathed it large sum of money.
1t is institutional in its plan and is
built more like home than an ordinary
church. 1t has reception rooms for So
cial gatherings, Libraries, rooms for
study, a dining room and a kitchen. 1t
is undenominatioDal and has no creed
whatever. Colonel Ingersoll was con-
Quoted through the various departments
and was more than pleased while at the
church, but nobody supposed that he
would mention it in his lecture.
The members Of the church are en-.
thusiastic and say they believe that
through the Peoples church of Kalama
ZOO the great agDostic will be led tC
joining the church. They see in his words
an answer to the thousands of prayers
sent up by the Christian Endeavorers
all over the country. They say that
while no organized effort has been made
to get Colonel Ingersoll to join the
church such effort will be made in the
near future. They profess to believe thai
the great disciple Of agnosticism will
deliver no more agnostic lectures. -

But how about her commerce?'
They can't destroy it," answered
Mr. Edison. "They don't know how.
America is the only nation that can do
that. We are the only people who make
