TIllman In Colorado.

DENVER. COL, April 14.-Senator
Tillman of South Carolina, arrived in
Denver this morning. He was met at
the train by leading Democrats and
escorted to the Brown palace Hotel
where he met the committee of recep-
ton as body. Tonight a public re-
ception was rendered the distinguish
ed visitor at he hotel and tomorrow
night he will address the State Demo
cratic convention. When asked as to
the political outlook Senator Tillman
said: Il have discovered a much
stronger spinal column among the sill
yer Democrats, in fact, heretofore it
has been sort of jelly affair. Press.
ure at home among the constituents of
Congressman and Senators as to the
necessity for progressive action has
produced a great change. Men who
would not speak to me in December
are growing more chummy all the
time" There is only one trouble, "
he continued, "only one reason why
we have all been harnessed with
doubt and that is some silver men
hate to quit the old party and the feel
ing of loyalty holds them back. The
outlook is altogether for the Demo
cratic convention to be controlled by
the free silver wing"

Every County There.

SPARTANBURG, s. c., April 15.-The
South Carolina convention in the IN
terest of the Chicago Southern States
Exposition met here tonight. Com.
mittees to raise funds and arrange for
exhibits were appointed. The atten-
dance was large and much enthusiasm
exhibited. Every county in the State
was represented. Speeches we're made
by Governor Evans and others. j.
G. Hemphill of Charleston was e'ected
State chairman to arrange for the ex-
hibits. The delegates represented the
most substantial business men OF the
State. There were altogether about
$50 delegates. About fifteen cotton
mill presidents, as many bank presi
dents, business men. farmers and edi
tors were present at the night session.
Speeches were made by Gov. Evans
and Patrick Walsh, who have attended
silmilar conventions in four Southern
States and says this leads them all.
There is a great deal of enthusiasm,
and a general desire to have South
Carolina to take first place at Chicago.
The convention is regarded as the best
gathering of strickly business men seen
in the State in years, and it is bent en-.
tirely on business. Mayor Calvert OF
Spartanburg was elected permanent
chairman of the meeting, and E. Il.
Aull secretary. The announcement
was made that it would take from
eight to ten thousand dollars to have
the State properly represented at CHI.

Sixteen to One Column-The Gold Bugs
Fought Hard, but Got Left.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 13.-The
State Herald's estimate of the vote by
counties for delegates to the State
Democratic convention as furnished
Saturday is today confirmed by the
latest advices from ALI over Alabama,
as substantially correct. or the 5O4
delegates to the State convention
Johnston, bimetallists, is assured of
357; Clarke, single and gold standard,
"a, and So are yet doubtful. There
was some doubt about this, Jefferson,
the largest county in the State, until
today, when authentic returns give
the county to Johnston by a small but
decisive majority. Great interest was
centered in contest between two can
didates for the State senate from this
county because they represented n.
A. Porter, the single gold standard,
and R. NJ. Cunningham, the free
coinage man of both gold and silver at
16 to1. They had jointly debated the
money question all over the county.
Both candidates were esteemed as un-
usually able advocates Of their respec-
tive views and the result of tho cleo
ton is conceded to have been q fair
test. Cunningham and free silver de-
feated Porter by a majority of 1000.
Captain Johnston had some so-called
sound money supporters in the State,
but he was throughout his canvass an,
avowed bimetallist and there is no
doubt from the character of the dele.,
cations which have been selected to the,
State convention which meets at Mont
gomery on the 21st, inst, will adopt
an out and out 16 to free silver plat
form and send a solid delegation of
that sort to the National convention at
Chicago. s

Negroes Meant Murder,

SELMA, Ala, April 15.-News
reached the city at IL o'clock last
night that the residence of Judge
Alonzo Irwin, seven miles west of
Selma, was surrounded by negroes
who threatened to murder the family.
Sheriff Kennedy and posse fastened
to the scene. The negroes heard the
posse approach the house and dis
persed. The leader, Lewellen Os-
borne, was found in his house, short
distance away. He refused to come
out. The door was forced open and
Osborne stuck gun through the
crack and attempted to shoot. The
sheriff fred into the house and Os-
borne, who had refused to surrender,
ran out gun in hand. The posse open
ed fire on him and he fell mortally
wounded. He lived SO minutes. His
dying statement was to the effect that
the mob around the house intended to
set fire to it and murder the family as
they ran out.

Wrong Man Shot.

WELLINGTON, Kas., April 12.-Edi-
tor Chas. Branscomb, of the South
Haven New Era, was killed in shoot
ing scrape between A. A. Richards,
editor of the Wellington Daily Mail
and Robert Simmons, editor of the
Caldwell News. No arrests have been
made. Simmons and Richards had
been carrying on bitter newspaper
war. They met by chance, when both
drew revolvers, and began firing. At
the fifth shot, Branscomb, who was
with Richards, fell pierced by a bullet.

He Addresses the Democratic Convention
and Vast Audience. 81
DENVER, April 15.-The delegation
selected by the convention to repre-
sent the party in the natioaal conven-
ton at Chicago carry with them one
resolution-that being a demand for
the restoration of the freecoinage Of
silver. The chairman of the delegation
Hon. @. 8. Thomas, after being NOM
mated by acclamation, declared in an
impassioned speech that unless the is
sue be accepted by the national con.
vention he would Immediately resign
his seat in that convention. This sem
timent was received with such hearty
applause tnat it is supposed that the
other members of the delegation will
feel bound to do likewise. The con-
vention did not complete its work in
the afternoon session and a recess was
taken until 7:45 p. m. ID.
When the convention reassembled,
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
delivered his political address to the
convention. The foyers were packed
to sufocation, the stage held 500 peo-
pie, every aisle was filed and several
thousand disappointed citizens failed
to get as near as the main entrance.
The boxes were occupied by prominent
citizens of all political organizations.
In the foyer crush was simply aW-
full and it required q great display OF
good nature to prevent a panic. When
Senator Tillman entered the stage he
was received by mighty outburst Of
cheers, while the band played Dix
ie."
Secretary Newell read letters en-
dorsing the silver sentiment from the
governors of Missouri and Virginia,
Senators Vest, Call and others, until,
the impatient audience howled down
the secretary and Senator Tllman
was introduced. ~
In opening his address, Senator TILL
man referred to the presentation Of
the silver and gold pitchfork Last
night by young lady as a new and
proper emblem of the goddess Of liber-
ty, as it is now the mblem Of agricul.
ture. He reviewed historically the
Democratic party, handling the sub.
ject seriously and earnestly. Theh,
warming up, b. attacked the present
administration in plain words and
without a delicate choice of language.
He soon had the Vast audience wild
with excitement. The mention OF
John Sherman brought forth a storm
Of Kisses, which stopped the speaker
for moment. His main effort was to
convince his audience that the capital
lists control the natioual government
and both political parties, and he
sought to array the common people
against the great centres OF wealth.
He touched at some length upon the
silver question. -
The convention was called to order
after Senator Tillman had concluded
his address and chose the following
delegates at large: T. J. O'Donnell,
Denver; Adair Wilson, Durango; B.
O. Sweeney, Trinidad. ...

throw of these and all other iniquities,
and in the restoration of peace and
harmony and good government in our
State.
The platform adopted with but two
or three dissenters.
This resolution was offered:
Resolved: That either of the four
candidates, Reed, Morton. Mckinley
or Allison, will be acceptable to the
Republicans of South Carolina.
A. E. Smith made a vigorous pro.
test against this. and offered substi.
tute endorsing Mckinley and instruct.
ing the delegation for him.
Whipper made an eloquent appeal
against the delegation being sent to
st. Louis handcufed.
Smith again supported Mckinley in
a long speech, after which his substi.
tute was laid on the table.
Shirer of Chester made some refer
ence to DR.. Hooper of the same town
having been bought by tho Webster,
ties at the last nominating convention.
w. w. Russell called on the chair
to have Shirer removed from the hall
by the sergeant-at-arms.
DR.. Hooper intimated that Shirer
was drunk and the latter subsidized for
time.
Rev. R. E. Hart made long speech,
in which ne said that the negroes were
not for Mckinley, because he had de-
clared they should not have been
granted the right of suffrage.
Mr.. Brayton concurred in the spirit
of the resolutions, but there was some
thing lacking, it did not include all
the candidates. There was another

farmers life is the most conducive to
Longevity. 1t is the most independent
of all occupations. 1t is subjected to
less temptation, less hazard, less wor
ry, aud il is little closer to god in its
daily communion with nature. The
accepted tables give to laborers forty
four years, to mechanics forty-seven,
to merchants forty.eight, to profes-
sional men fifty-two, and to farmers
sixty-four years. If long life is an
index of good health and prosperity
then the farmer is blessed above all
other people. There is force and truth
in the old maxim that God, made
the country and man made the town"
But after all the crime and misery
that we read of, this age is a great i'm
provement on Sodom and GoInorrah.
Abraham could find more than ten
good men in any town or city IN thus
country. believe he could find fifty
in Gainesville and a hundred and
fifty women. The Lords pity and
consideration for sinners is very won
derful if He will save a whole
city full for the sake OF ten good men.
MAJ be that is why He doesn' t rain fire
and birthstone on the wicked now. 1t
might do harm to the righteous. The
ungodly ought to give Christians
credit for that. If the wicked people
of this world were all punched in one
country and not good man in it how
long, I wonder, would the storm stay
off, How long would the wicked stay
there if they could possibly get out?
1t is redeeming trait in human ma
ture, however wicked and depraved,
to respect virtue and good people.
There are but few of the ungodly who
would abolish the churches it they
could, or who would rear their chill
dren in any but a Christian country.

The Gulf Coast is Sinking.

Judge Taylor, one of the COM
missioners, in speaking Of the now
accepted fact that the coast OF
Louisiana is sinking at com.
paratively rapid rate, says:
"There can be no question as to
the sinking OF the land. All the
observations confirm 1t. 1t only
remains to be seen whether it is
merely a local settling and solid
flying Of the newly deposited
soil at the mouth of the Miss
issippi, or a general subsistence,
extending up to and above the
city. 1t is q matter that can be
determined only by definite sur
veys and these must be made. The
discovery of the sinking, or,
rather, the proof Of 1t, was made
by q comparison Of the gauge
record at Port Eads, at the jetties,
with those on the river above.
Another comparison, made later,
by an assistant, between the
gauges at the upper end of New
Orleans and at the jetties, con.
firmed the discovery. One thing
Is certain-either the land is sink
ing or the water is rising"
The data on the subject is still,
however, incomplete, and until
more evidence is obtained 1t will
be impossible to reach any definite
conclusions. 1t is probable that a
resurvey Of the Mississippi will be
made at once, to determine exactly
to what extent the sinking is 60
ing on, and how far up the river it
extends. When this has been
done it will be possible TO under
stand great many points about
the Mississippi and its alluvial
lands, as well as the Gulf marshes,
which have hitherto puzzled geol-
ogists and engineers.

FLOATING FRAGMENTS.

Written for the LIGHT.
The suggestion made that the
city should talk over the water
works is a good one.
There is no reason why the city
should not derive the benefit OF the
profits and the citizens the benefit
of lower rates.
In Toronto, one of the largest of
Canadian cities, not only are the
waterworks owned and run by the
city, but also the street cars and
the gas and electric light plants.
The city derives a large income
from all three while the rates are
very low.
On the street cars between 6 and
s o'clock in the morning and 5 and
z o'clock in the evening, ride of
three miles costs but three cents,
and yet handsome profits are
made.
If the car system were taken in
charge here, these troublesome
conflicts about the streets would
not occur, but the city, owning
both street and street car track,
could arrange matters to suit itself.
Those who considered that it was
impossible to tie too many knots
in the lions tail, must realize their
mistake.
Whatever may have have been
England's policy when "peace
at any price" Gladstone was
at the helm, the rapidity
with which the flying squad
ron was organized must have
convinced all that the day has
gone by when it was a pleasant
and safe diversion to give the Brit
ish tail a twist.
At the same time England must
not attempt to pluck any feathers
from the wings o; Uncle Sans pet.
II Great Britain has purchased
Cuba In an unwise moment from
Spain, she has run up against the
Monroe doctrine with a vengeance,
IL not in the strict letter of the law,
in the spirit.
The United States will never
stand by and see England assume
a protectorate over this island.
That she will try to do more is
not probable, but after their hard
fight for liberty, the Cuban patriots
deserve absolute political freedom.
Besides American interests are
totally opposed to any such move
on England's part.
