STAR ROUTE CONTRACTS.

The contracts for carrying the mails over
the various star routes leading to and
from Yorkville, were let out by the second
assistant postmaster general on the 10Th
ultimo, and all of them were awarded to
the same man, w. B. Caching, as follows
Route No. 2O,l74, from Yorkville TO
Yorkville, via. Bethany, Zadok, Stroup's,
etc., Az miles, three times a week. for
$l68. The present contract rate is $3.50.
Route No. 2O,l75, from Yorkville to
Gould, via Blairsville, Bullock's Creek,
etc., l9i miles and return, six times a
week, 1888. The present contract rate is
$3.50.
No. 2O,176, from Yorkville to Point, via.
Bethel, Zeno, etc., 1911 miles and return,
three time week, for $l6s. The present
contract rate is S2l7.92.
Route No. 2O,177, from Yorkville to En-
quirer, by way of Fodder, Clay Hill, Ban
dana, and Energy, 1S miles and return,
three times week for Sl6S. The present
contract is $l95.27.
Those who are in a position to know,
say that the mails over all Of these routes
are now being carried at rate that allows
practically no margin of profit for the
contractors. 1t has evidently been the
object of Mr.. Caching to bid just little
less in the belief that he still has chance
for profitable speculation. Under the
circumstances, however, the local sub
contractors will do well TO watch the mat
ter very closely, or they may get them
selves in tighter place even than that
now coupled by Mr.. Caching.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

The year 1895 died last night, and this
morning we welcome the first day OF
1896. Many of our people will look upon
the change with certain regrets, and not
few will contemplate it with pardonable
pride, for the year just gone by has not
only been full of discouragements and
trials but has been productive Of much
pleasure and success.
There have been few years since the
war that have been ushered in under
auspices more unfavorable than 1895.
Cotton had been sold at price too low to
pay the cost of production, and many
farmers had not only lost the labor OF
year, but owed the expense of their
living. Many merchants who had sold
on time were unable to collect, and not
few of them found it exceedingly
difficult to keep afioat. Cotton was still
low, money was scarce, and there was
but scant encouragement to enter upon
the work of another year.
Today the situation is different. AL
though cotton has been sold for less
than it appears to be reasonably worth,
the crop has been made cheaply, and
it has brought considerably more than
was expected. Not only this, more home
supplies have been raised, money is more
plentiful, everybody has a little, and
consequently the country appears to be
in much better shape for entering upon
the struggles of the present year than
it was for entering upon the struggles
of the last.
AS January, 1895, held up nothing but
Encouragement, today seems full of hope
and promise. Last year the country
started with almost nothing but by
means of hard work, thrift and frugality
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-01-01

The speech of Mr.. Dingley, chairman
of the ways and means committee on the
bond bill, the other day, developed a
condition of affairs that was not generally
known to exist. AS everybody knows, it
is the policy of Mr.. Cleveland to put the
country squarely on gold basis. He has
not been able to do that, mainly for the
reason that, so far, he has been unable to
secure the cooperation of congress. There
have been several bond issues in the past
two years, and gold has been borrowed to
the amount of $l5O,OOO,OOO. 1t is claimed
that this money has not been used in pay
ing the expenses of the government; but
only for the purpose of redeeming green
backs and Sherman notes, which can be
paid out again, and the people have Won
dered what has become of the money
borrowed. Mr.. Dingley's speech makes
the explanation. 1t seems that there is now
locked up in the treasury, over S7O,OOO,OOC
VI IiiCi ho'SS sAe.N
have been redeemed in gold, and this
money is not paid out for the reason that
it is not needed. The incident seems to
show that Mr.. Cleveland is bound to carry
out his policy regardless of congress and
the law. Unable to get authority for the
redemption and cancellation of the green
backs by issuing bonds, he is simply TAX
ing up the greenbacks as occasion offers,
and piling them away in the treasury out
of circulation. There is no doubt of the
fact that every new bond issue means a
further contraction of the currency, an
increase in the purchasing power of dol
lar, an additional burden on the debtor,
and another step toward the single gold
standard.

The New York Journal has signifi-
can't cartoon on the Venezuelan situation.
It shows a shooting gallery in which there
are three targets drawn in representation
of John Bull. The first two, which are
marked 1776 and 1872, respectively, haye
been shot so full of bullet holes that there
is hardly left anything else to shoot at.
The third is intact and just ready to be
pinned up for use. In the foreground sits
Uncle Sam, with satisfied grin on his
face, and engaged in reloading the long
squirrel rifle with which he had riddled
the other targets. Venezuela takes a
place in the picture as little pet dog,
which is quietly watching Uncle Sam as
he enjoys his sport.

A VICTIM OF DECEPTION.

Chief of Police Love, of Yorkville, is in
serious trouble with the United States
revenue authorities, and is the innocent
victim of shabby trick that was played
upon him by State dispensary officials.
Here is the story.
Mr.. John A. Barry, who has been oper-
ating a distillery about seven miles north
of Yorkville, found it convenient to leave
for North Carolina on account of a warrant
that had been sworn out charging him
with violation of the dispensary law. At
the time of his departure, he left in the
government warehouse at his distillery
several barrels of whisky.
Unable to get Barry, the next question
that presented itself to the State authori-
ties was how to get his liquor. State
Constable Newbold went to the vicinity Of
of the distillery, ostensibly for the purpose
of seizing the whisky. He returned, how
ever, without carrying out his purpose.
Government warehouses though not built
especially strong, are usually protected
with certain private marks of Uncle Sans
and pretty strong assurance OF fine and
Imprisonment. This fact may have had
something to do with Constable Newbold's
empty handed return.
But the constable was not altogether
baffled. He began to study how he could
get that liquor and at the same time keep
out of the reach of the government. AS
the result of his studying, he hunted up
Policeman Love and suggested some
thing like this, which though may not be
his exact words: II have been up and
seized Barry's liquor. The tax has not
been paid on it yet; but I will attend to
that as soon as go to Columbia. You
take these shipping certificates, and when
I telegraph you that the tax has been paid,
just go up and get the liquor, bring it to
Yorkville and ship it to Commissioner
Nixon" Policeman Love took the GER
tificates and suspected nothing.
A day or two later Constable Newbold
telegraphed Policeman Love something
like the following: 1.-THE tax has been
paid, ship the liquor at once" Shortly
afterward another telegram was received
by Policeman Love from Commissioner
Nixon to the same effect. Policeman
Love consulted Intendant Moore about
the matter. 1t did not occur to Intendant
Moore that there was anything wrong
about the transaction, and he suggested to
Policeman Love that inasmuch as the
dspensary authorities had intimated that
the town was not enforcing the dispensary

given out to that effect, the newspapers
have it that Cleveland has selected Robert
T. Lincoln, of Illinois, and Edward j.
Phelps, of Vermont, as two members OF
the proposed Venezuelan commission,
and will not designate the third and last
member until after these two have signi-
fed their acceptance. The duty of the

a thorough investigation of the respective
rights of Venezuela and Great Britain in
the boundary dispute and report to con-

Wednesday, January l, 1896.

law, and had threatened to inaugurate
the metropolitan police system, it might
be well to carry out the request of New
bold and Nixon.
Accordingly, Policeman Love took a
couple Of wagons and went up to the
distillery. He found the warehouse lock-
ed up; but inasmuch as he had been
assured that the tax had been paid he did
not consider that this fact made any
difference. So he forced open the door,
loaded the whisky on the wagons and
brought it to Yorkville. Here his atten-
ton was called to the fact that though
the dispensary authorities may have so
claimed, the government tax had not
been paid. A necessary accompani-
ment of that transaction is stamping
of the barrels, and until the stamps
are affixed, the transaction is not COM
plete. Assured of the correctness OF
this information and realizing that he
had unwittingly violated the law, he
could now see but one thing to do and
that was to take the liquor back, and put
it where he got it. This he did.
But the mischief had already been done,
Evidently thinking that he had the dis
pensary authorities in close place, Mr.
Barry telegraphed Collector Towns, at Co.
lumbia, that the warehouse had been bro.
ken open. 1t looked like the long expect.
ed clash between the STATE and United
States authorities, and Collector Towns
telegraphed to Washington for instruc-
tions. He was instructed to have the par
ty who broke into the warehouse arrested
and he sent United States Deputy Collec-
tor T. B. Stackhouse to Yorkville for the
purpose. Upon looking into the matter
Deputy Stackhouse was uncertain as tc
just how to proceed; but shortly after
ward somebody really broke into the
warehouse and stole a few gallons oI
whisky, and there was nothing else to dc
but that Mr.. Love should be arrested
which was done forthwith.
On being brought before United States
Commissioner Hart, Policeman Love was
released on bond of $500, and January
was fixed as the day for the preliminary
examination. Policeman Love, Of course
makes a clean breast Of his part in the
affair and seeks to deny nothing. The
penalties prescribed in cases of this kind
are very severe, and what the outcome is
going to be Of course it is impossible to
say.
