Another Salvation Army.

1t seems that there is to be an
other Salvation Army and the sur
prising thing is that it is to be an
Episcopal Organization. For some
time there has been church army
under Ep scopal direction in Eng
land; and it has proved so satis-
factory in its results that it is to
be introduced into this country,
as the United States Church Ar
my. The organization is modelled
after the Salvation Army; though
it is proposed ITO reach a rather
different class of people. 1t is not
for the slums. "There is to be a
military director, chief of staff,
field marshals, majors, sides-de-
camps" and so on; and there'will
be chariot companies to travel
from place to place, with a driver,
a fifer, a drummer and a bugler.
All of this sounds strangely in
congruous in connection with the
Episcopal church. The motive of
it may be excellent; but it looks
like an awkward attempt of this
stiff, aristocratic body to adjust it
self to the growing conviction
that the church's mission is to the
masses. We are told that in a
short time there will be church ar
my posts scattered over the coun-
try at large. We wish them we'll
and hope that they may become
promoters O. real piety."

For Gold Alone.

The following is the financial
plank in the platform of the Re-
publican convention at ST. Louis,
just adjourned. About the 7th OF
July the Democratic convention at
Chicago will cover that plank with
one of gold and silver.
'sWe are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
cur currency, or impair the credit
of our country. We are therefore
opposed to the free coinage of sill
yer except by International agree
nlent with the leading commercial
nations of the world, which we
pledge ourselves 10 promote, and
until such can be agreed, the ex-
listing gold standard mus be pre-
served. All our silver and paper
currency now in circulation must
be maintained at parity with gold,
and we favor all measures design
ed to maintain inviolably the OBJ
legations of the United States and
all our money, whether coin or pa
per, at the present standard, the
standard of the most enlightened
nations of the earth"

The St. Louis convention was i'll
session only few days. The dem
ocratie convention which meets in
Chico go July 7th, will probably he
continued much longer. This con-
vention will doubtless be one Of
the most lengthy and exciting in
the history of democratic national
conventions, in these respects to-
tally eclipsing the republican con-
vention just held. 1t is not ex-
pected that the gold.men will bolt,
but that will clay down" on the
democratic nominees by not vo-
ting al all, or by voting the repub-
lican ticket. The Tan1many lead
ers in New York declare, however,
that they will support the ticket
20 matter who is nominated. "We
would rather" say they, Support
a silver democrat than republi-
can, although we are for gold"

Senator Irby
Withdraw !,
He WILL NOT MAKE THE
RACE FOR REELECTION.
HE TELLS THE PEOPLE WHY,
HIS RECENT POLITICAL COURSE HAS
BEEN Misunderstood AND nE
HAS BEEN MIsJUDGED-HE WILL
Nor SUE FOR FAvoRs.

News and Courier.
LAURENs, S. c., June 17.-In a
short interview with Senator Irby
to-day, your correspondent asked
this question: "Will you be at
Manning next Monday, Senator?"
The Senator answered: "No, l
shall not attend that or any other
campaign meeting as a candidate
for the United States Senate. l
had intended up to short time
ago to ask for the nomination at
the ensuing primary, but have con-
cluded not TO enter the contest.
From advices received from differ
ent sections of the State 1 conclude
that my motives and official acts
for the last year have been misun-
stood by the faction of which l
was charter member. 1t is appar-
lent from these adviees that I must
antagonize those with whom !
bave co-operated politically since
1885. 1t seems that the entire ma
chirery cf the party government
has been organized to humiliate,
defeat and destroy me. This would
not have been but for q misunder-
standing of my motives in oppos-
ing the equal division of delegates
to the Constitutional Convention,
the defense of the name of Butler
in that convention, my opposition
to the plan of suffrage as adopted
and the uncompromising position
taken by me in opposition to a
bolt in the late State Democratic
convention. In addition, if l were
to run with my old friehds organ
lied against me l could only ex-
pect support from those hereto
fore my political opponents, which
would be distasteful to me as they
owe me no favors. In arriving at
this conclusion, desire TO say that
I cherish no spleen towards those
who I believe misconstrua my mo-
tives and political course recently,
and confidently anticipate the fu-
ture to vlndlcate these positions
and policies"

The Republican Convention.

On Thursday last at st. Louis
tile republican convention nomi-
ri.ted VIM. j. Mckinley for Presi-
dent of the United States on a
Gold and High Protective tariff
platform. Mckinley received on
the first ballot two thirds of all the
votes. and the nomination was
made unanimous. A number of
delegates, however, from five or
six States withdrew from the con-
vention when the gold plank in the
platform was adopted. The lead.
3, and most noted of these dele
gates is Senator Teller of Colora-
do. A number of other delegates
who opposed the gold standard but
did not feel called upon to leave
the convention fled their written
protest against this financial plank
and will work and vote for silver
when they return home to their
respective States. Tho whole
number of these bolting delegates
amoues to nearly one hundred.
There are two significant facts,
that cropped out during the pro-
ceedings of this convention, that
are bright with hope for.democra-
cy-. First, although the financial
plank declares for gold alone as
the standard, Mckinley himself
MAS bitterly opposed to it and ia
Yored any kind Of a straddle rath-'
er than be forced to- stand up flat
footed heels together toes out
and to the mark for Gold. The
reason of this opposition of Nc
Kinley and many OF his closest
friends to the gold plank is SIM
ply that, they are afraid Of such a
plank and believe do'on IN their
hearts that the double standard 'oil1
scin especially as this gold demand
was forced upon the convention
by New York and Massachusetts,,
the centres of that sentiment in
this country.
The other rainbow for national
Democracy is the fact that SO
many silver delegates withdrew
from the convention in high
dudgeon and went home to work
and vote for democracy if silver
platform be adopted and a silver
candidate be nominated at Chi
cago. Remember these Dol ling del
egates are all republicans and
from republican States.
Thus are we 'doubly armed" be-
cause, we shave our quarrel just"

TILLMAN In NINETY-FOUR.
THE REPLY HE MADE TO
THESE BOND DEAL
CHARGES.
CHARGES
He INDIGNANTLY DENIED THAT HE
EVER RECEIVED ONE CENT OF
THE COMMISSIONS AND TERMED IT
A MALICIOUS ISLANDER.

The State,
In view of the great interest be-
ing taken just at this time in the
bond matter it is interesting to
turn hack to Senator Tillman's
speech made at Walterboro in '94,
and mako extracts from that
speech, in which he dealt with the
matter, defying anyone to say that
he or DR.. Bates got one cent of the
commissions.
Senator Tillman said: "First as
to the $6930.65 charged Oh the
treasurer's books to the redemp-
ton of Brown consols and ex-
penses. The larger portion of
this was paid for the engraving
and printing of the bonds them
selves. The balance was the ex-
penses incurred by DR.. Bates and
myself when we went to New York
for two weeks, begging up and
down Wall street. Every item,
with vouchers, can be had in the
treasurer's Office. This is what was
spent of the $4,000.
"To che second question, how
much cf the funds of the sinking
fund commission were expended
and for what? I answer, not one
cent.
"Third, who received the 1924
1876, (this shoald be $119,125,)
the 2 1-2 per cent semi-annual in
terest on the new bonds? l answer
that I do not know. We did not,
as everybody knows, fund the
bonds in New York, because We
were antagonized by the Charles
ton banks and the feeling there
appeared to be for a gold bond,
which we were not authorized to
issue and which L was unwilling
to have the State issue. After our
failure to do anything in New
York, we authorized Mr.. Rhind to
negotiate the loan of five and a
quarter million of 4 1-2 pei cent.
bonds at par, and expressly in
formed him that if he could Sell
them 30 as to get any commission
it weuld be all right, but that the
State would not pay him one cent.
So far as Mr.. Rhind's financial
standing was concerned, it did not
concern us. We were dealing with
him as broker, who appeared to
know his business and who had
discretion and judgment. His as
sociates in the work with the syn
dicate, and who got part of what
ever commission he received, were
Messrs. Lancaster & Williams Of
Richmond. 1 say this however,
that no member of the syndicate
Lancaster, Williams, Rhind or
any other man-has ever paid one
cent of this commission to any,
body in South Carolina that |
know of, and l defy anybody OH
earth, under the earth or anywhere
else to trace any of this money 10
South Carolina, or say that Bates
or got one dollar of it"

The Meeting at Manning.

The first meeting Of the State
campa 'gn came off at Manning on
Monday of this week. Little en-
thusiasm was manifested. Ellerbe
and Whitman, candidates for Gov
ernor we.e there. DR.. Zimmerman
was these candidate for State
lfeasurer. and had no opposition
and will go in beyond a doubt. But
for the one single sensation of the
day it would have been lrlsEf-
ferably dull. That sensation was
the announcement that John L.
Duncan was candidate for the
United States Senate. Duncan is
a clerk in the State Treasurer's
Office, bat seems to have more
metal in him than the petty office
he holds would indicate, and in
default of anybody better it is
hoped that he will measure up to
a sort of a decent standard. When
there are so many strong intelleets
in South Carolina who are anxious
to be United States Senators it is
simply astounding that not one of
them has entered the field for this
high office. Earle could have been
elected as easily as falling off a
log and SO could half a dozen 9TH
ers that we might name.
The disgust of the Columbia
State with the situation is con-
tagious:
"Irby retired; Donaldson has
not filed his pledge, 30 far as We
can learn; McLaurin dallied but
did not dare; Mayfeld yearned
but fell back; w. D. Evans put in
a straw bid; Earle entered the
lists and as soon as he had enter
ed retreated precipitately. The on
ly man who ventures to stand be-
fore the annointed of Tillman is a
State house clerk !"

Falls by the wayside.

AT the Florida State convention
Of last week the goldbugs carried
the day by a vote of 173 to III.
Money answereth all things. There
is not particle of doubt that
Florida and Michigan were carri-
ed over to the enemy by the cor
rupt use of money, and other infu-
ences and that such programme
will be continued up to the sitting
of the Chicago convention isequal-
ly certain. And even in that au-
gust body the potency of filthy
lncre to thwart the will of the peo-
pie will be put to the test.

legal Tits between counsel with the closest
attention- 1t was the fifth day of the
trial, which is now likely to last at least
three weeks, unless the unexpected should
happen.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Briggs. while
on the stand, was asked what she knew of
Judge Hollis feelings toward the Throck-
moftons, especially the wife and mother
OF Maj. Throckmorton, which might throw
scme light on his intentions with reference
to the disposition of his property.
The question was objected to by coun-
sci for the caveatees and the remainder
OF the afternoon was spent in an able
argument between Mr.. Darlington and
Mr. Worthington as to the adInissibility OF
parole declarations of Judge Holt as evil
denclns his purpose of revoking the will.

UNIT RULE IN OHIO.
. Senator Brice Says That 1t VIII Not
Prevail.

A good deal has appeared in newspapers
recently on the application of the unit rule
in Ohio, and alluding to the possible cap
ture of the entire delegation by one side or
the other. The application Of the unit
rule in Ohio is an impossibility, it is said
From time immemorial 1t has been the
custom and law of the democracy of the
state to allow each congressional district
to select it's own delegates. These district
conventions are almost as supreme as the
state convention, and the latter would not
think of interfering with them in any way.
Whichever side controls the state conyen-
ton could. 1t is said, instruct the delegates
from the state to do certain thing, but
the Instructions would have no binding
effect. Senator Brice said to Star re-.
porter: There will be no unit rule in Ohio
The delegation from the state will be di-
vfded. For instance. there may be thirty
for gold and sixteen for silver, or vice
versa"
