his fellow upon him, to seek to correct
this condition OF things.
!, We are convinced by our past and
present experience in our efforts to
bring about this better state of things,
that no reliance is to be placed in leg
islators who are controlled by policy
and not principle, and we are pain ed to
realize that such men stand ready at
the bidding of q leader who may not be
moved by high moral principle in his
public acts, to set aside their most
sacred vows to God, to shut their
| hearts against the most pathetic ap-
peals of humanity, and violate what
they declare to be the convictions Of
their own consciences, II by so doing
they can secure continuance In office
or the favor Of their partisan leaders
We therefore conclude that tho only
hope for permanently reforming the
laws, and through them influence the
habits and morals of the people, ia In
the persistent effort to unite In organ
ization all friends of temperance, and
by holding meetings, studying Gods
word on the subject, and going to Him
in prayer for guidance, will create
such sentiment through the entire
country that no matter who are our
lawmakers, they will give what the
Christian people of the State want on
this subject.
To this issue the Gospel Temperance
Union Is unalterably committed, and to
It's support it invites every follower of
Christ of whatever name, and every
citizen of the State who has determin-
ed to stand for the protection OF the
homes, the mothers and the children
OF this fair State from the impending
ruin which a perpetuation OF the
States traffic in liquor 70 sure to bring
upon them. In God We trust, and in
the accomplishment of His will in the
appetites and passions which enslave
and ruin them, and their doliverance
from the greatest curse which has ever
blighted humanity.
We propose to organize unions
among the churches whose members
endorse our views and purposes on this
subject, and by unifying the sentiment
and effort of Christians, direct them
against this traffic. In this way, We |
believe, legislation can be made the ex-
preston OF the moral principles OF gov |
ernment, when laws shall be made by |
the better class Of society for the re-
preston OF the vices and evils brought |
upon society by the vicious and the |
criminal, and not as at present, when
politicians seek too often only to shape
legislation to meet the demands of the |
evil dispoSed voters who thus secure
from the consequences which
ese~Tlolations of right and morality
should bring upon them.
For the contamination of purpose so
desirable we ask the active co-opera-
ion OF every good citizen.

The Columbia Register says that

Of interest and concern the action of
the State Democratic Executive Com

exactly what to do or what will be done
in reference to Senator Tillman's pro-
posed plan to bolt the national conven.

free silver plank is inserted in the plat.
form. There Is no doubt about the
fact that most OF the members are
firmly anchored in the Democratic
party and there is going to take some
hard pulling TO get them out Of it, even
If their financial views are not made
part OF the party platform. There
are others though who are ready tc
kick clean out the traces IL they can't
get free silver, and between the two
factions there VIII be lively times
when the committee meets.s

Tho Columbia Register says that
Governor Evans has not yet acted on
the bill passed by the last Legislature
prohibiting county treasur ers from
publishing their annual reports in the
county papers. This was the only
way for the taxpayers to see what had
become OF their money, but the Leg
islature seemed to think this was UNI
necessary. Besides this 1t cost little
to publish the reports and the strict
economists saw where few hundred
dollars might be saved by prohibiting
the publications. 1t was learned from
good authority that Governor Evans
would likely veto the bill or "hold it
up" which would amount to about the
same thing In the end.

This is the centennial wear of I,

This is the centennial year of the
Democratic party. The party came
into existence as o national organiza-
tion In l796. 1t was founded by
Thomas Jefferson, who was the candi-
date OF the party for President In that
year. Jefferson called 1t the Republi-
can party, but In its first national
campaign the organization was called
the Democratic-Republican party by
the masses. The Tammany Hall So.
ciety OF New York, which was In exis.
tence at that time, has ever since re-
tanned the name Democratic-Repub
can organization.
