A CommendabIe Undertaking.

Much attention has been given in this
city to the study of art for some time
The Art League is one outcome of this
attention. While the city is fun of OBJ
jects of art. and subjects for study, there
has been lacking the opportunity for the
development of all of the possibilities of
the situation. 1t appears that such oppor-
tunity is now about to be offered art
students, through the opening of the Tel
fair Academy to the Art League, and the
securing of the services of an instructor
and lecturers. The academy is rich in
casts and statues that may be studied with
greatest advantage with the assistance of
a competent teacher The efforts of the
league are to be commended. The league
should have all of the assistance and en-
couragement that can be given it.

Sound Currency Means Business
Prosperity.

The reports of the commercial agencies
which appeared in our dispatches yester-
day show that the bond issue has had the
effect of infusing new life into business
All that is needed to insure an era of great
prosperity is absolute certainty that the
integrity of the currency will be main
tanned. When the gold reserves falls and
there is apprehension that the government

better evidence is needed that the perma-

What a remarkable change has taken
place In public sentiment in this coun-
try in respect to the Salvation ARMY
When it first appeared upon the streets
Of our cities it was jeered and abused
and generally regarded as a nuisance.
only in the slums did 1t receive any en-
enlargement. When a section of 1t ap-
peared in Savannah there was strong
talk of having it declared a nuisance.
The army, however, went on with it's
work just as if it had the support of
public opinion. Its leaders turned neither
to the right nor the left for approval
They felt they had a work to do and they
did it without fear or favor
The army at first made little progress
in its work At times it was almost dis
couraged. and felt as If it would have to
abandon the field. 1t did not abandon it.
however. on the contrary, it felt so sure
that it would triumph if it persisted that
it resolved to endure the rebuffs it en-
countered and submit with patience and
forbearance to the ridicule heaped upon
it. And how wonderfully 1t has tri-
umphed!
A few weeks ago the head of the Sal
walton Army in London recalled the COM
mander of the American branch on the
ground that a change would be beneficial.
Mark what took place. From all over
the country protests were sent to the
general in London asking that the COM
III
wife be permitted to remain in America
for the reason that they had done a won
derful work, and that their removal would
be hurtful to the cause of the Salvation
Army. These protests were sent by some
of the best known and most influential
people of the country.
Last Monday night there was meet
ing in Carnegie Music Hall, New York, to
protest against the removal of the COM
mander of the American branch of the
army 1t was a great meeting. and was
notable for the distinguished people who
were present. Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew
was chosen to preside, and on the plat
form were distinguished ministers. inhu-
entail public men and men prominent in
business and the professions. There were
many well-known ladies present also. 1t
was gathering which showed how COM
pletely the once despised Salvation Army
had won its way to public favor.
Its triumph has been largely due to the
fact that it is a thoroughly sincere or
ganization and works solely for the good
thetic hand. Public opinion is not always
right but it is always tyrannical. But il
is pretty certain to be right in time.

Now said Lord Saltboodle, who was

Washington Star, ''it is desirable to have

"Why-er-I thought my duty would be

"Of course. That's the mechanical part
of it. You seem to know how to get the

A story About the suItnn.

Why does the sultan allow what was
once respectable fleet to rot to pieces
anchored off STEAMBOAT? Simply because
he considers an ironclad a dangerous in
strument in the hands of any minister or
resolute commander, says a Smyrna letter
IN the London Standard. 1t is true that
tnere are no ships to guard his coasts but
also there are none to steam up the Ros-
phorus and throw a shell into his paIace
and that is the first thing to be Thought of
The incident which led to the order for
the extinction of the Turkish navy was as
follows; A transport was bringing a num-
Der of time-eXpired men home when thew
respectfully mutinied, and begged their.
ofncerS TO go below, as they wished to do
something which might not be approved
OF. Some commissioned officers then
took command and anchored off Ragt-
cheh, and, after firing a small salute be-
gan shouting. Long live the sultanp'
This demonstration caused Immediate
CONFUSION at the palace, and various high
ofhcials were dispatched to parley with
the mutineers, but they insisted on seeing
the minister and when he at last appeared
they said that they knew the sultan had
given, the money to pay them. but that
they had not received if. and they would
not bulge until they did. No arguments
were of any avail and the money had to
be sent for and distributed, after which
the men weighed anchor with a cheer and
gave up the ship again.
The sultan, however, reflected that what
transport had done peaceably a heavily
armed man-of-war might do with evil in
tent, and, calling Hassan Pacha to him.
he declared that he wanted no more navy
In this light-hearted manner a branch of
national defense, which had been the pride
of its officers, was sacrificed to the royal
fears for personal safety, and Hassan
Pacha, who has steadily carried out his
masters programme, has ever since been
in high favor and is, to all intents and pur-
poses, minister for life.

The Nicarngua Canal Renort.

The report of the commission ap-
pointed to investigate the Nicaragua can
al project is not encouraging to those who
are promoting that enterprise. The pro-
motors have been telling rose colored sto-
ries for years, concerning the ease with
which the canal could be constructed. and
have insisted that the cost would be so
moderate that big dividend would be
earned on the money invested in it.
The commission tells a very different
story. There are great difficulties to be
overcome and some very hard problems
to be solved. There is no outlet at either
end of the proposed canal that could be
satisfactorily utilized. Therefore new out
let's would have to be made. In some sec
lions of the country through which the
canal would pass there is rainfall of
twenty-five feet year. The question of
proper drainage therefore is one of i'm
mense importance. The promoters de-
clare that the canal can be constructed

She Almost Proposed.

A young married woman, the wife OF
a western congressman, was one of

and then, after two or three wears he be-
gan to neglect telling me of his love In
the meantime l learned to love him, and
tried IN every way. to make him speak,
but when he called he never wanted to
see me alone, and always tried to have
some OF the family about. When we were
alone he was moody and silent and no
amount OF sweetness on my part would
bring him to another avowal At last. he
called and said that he was going to
washington; that there was no use of his

at the entrance some time, and l tried so
hard 10 bring him out, but no use. He
spoke of no one caring for him and an
that sort of thing. Finally we shook
hands and he left. saw him walk down
the yard, and as he reached the gate I
called to him to come back. I had seen
him leave me forever in that minute. and

themselves even more ridiculous before
the end OF the presidential campaign.
which is just now beginning.
The amount Of the bids for the current
bond issue ought to convince them that
the people are not in favor Of free silver
coinage and the consequent degradation
Of the currency, and it would convince
them if they had not determined not to be
convinced.
II congress should pass resolution to
the effect that under no circumstances
would the currency he allowed to go TO a
silver basis there would be such prosper
ity as the country has never yet seen The
people, however. in the coming presidential
election viii do what congress hasn't the
courage to do. In subscribing for the bonds
six times over they furnish an indication
Of what their purpose is in the matter Of
free silver coinage.

Nngging Cleveland.

Are the papers that are continually
calling upon Mr.. Cleveland to announce
whether he is candidate for the nomi-
nation of his party for another term or
not trying to amuse their readers or to
annoy Mr.. Cleveland? 1t looks very
much as if they wanted to annoy Mr..
Cleveland.
If Mr.. Cleveland's record counts for
anything he will not be nagged into max
ing a declaration as to what his purpose
is in respect to another presidential term.
1t is a question whether it. would be wise
for him to thrust himself on the attention
of the public in the matter of another
term. Nobody is asking him to be a can
didate. No delegates are being instruct
considerable proportion of his party fav-
ors nominating him again
In the case of Gen. Harrison 1t was diff
ferent. He was out of office and his
friends were moving in his interest to
have delegates instructed for him. AS
he did not intend to permit his name to
go before the national convention of his
party he wrote letter to the effect that
he was not a candidate for the nominal
tion. He did this to save his friends
trouble. Mr.. Cleveland has not as yet
any such excuse, and if he had he would
not be blamable in any respect if he did
not use the excuse as Gen Harrison did.
We do not think Mr.. Cleveland wants
another nomination and we are satisfied
that he will say so when he thinks it ad-
visable to make such a declaration

The legislature of that state has done a
good service to the people of South Caro-
lima and also to transient travellers, by
enacting law requiring railroads to pro-
vide separate cars for white and black
people. Negroes will travel as long as
they have money to pay fare. Many of
them doubtless travel, not because they
are going to any particular place, but
because they have no place to stop at. The
railroads can wen afford to give these
good patrons separate cars and relieve
white people Of their presence, which is
certainly drawback to railroad travel in
South Carolina.
