pretense that gold was sorely needed
abroad. Then in order to comply
with Wall streets demand for bonds
he ordered them to be issued to buy
back the gold that had been purloin-
ed from the Treasury.
All this was done without the war
rant of law, but over and above the
law. This system of ledger domain
was continued until S1G2,000,0G0 Of
bonds had been issued in time Of
peace, and saddled on the sweat and
toll of the American people. By
these transactions his British and
American brigands by the mere
shuffling of the cards made profit OF
s10,0O0,C00 in one day. In life and
death struggle at Chicago between
labor on the one side and the incar-
nation of avarice and greed on the
other-where weeping men and starv-
ing women and children were asking
for the simple right to live, as the
price of their toll and sweat; this
denied them by al autocrat and
money king; the President of this na-
ton of Jefferson and Lincoln, seat
the national army to COW and crush
the former and enthrone the latter.
And when this unconstitutional and
despotic act was being opposed by q
patriotic governor of 4 sovereign
state he was met by tie reply OF the
President that there "was no time to
argue" How much further are we
to travel in this direction until we
meet the decaying and bloody days
of Rome9 But II the coming aud
final death grapel between the mass
es and the god of mammop, the peo-
pie should win, and the destroyer
Of nations should be annihilatea, and
its Upas institutions up-rooted, and
cast from our land, a different his
tory will be written. Grover Cleve-
land will then appear in his true
character. The hatred Of patriots
for the rule OF The money gods is
growing bitter and intense. The
final crisis is certainly near at hand.
Ii liberty and humanity shall prove
triumphant, the rule Of organized
arragant wealth, for evil will be
crashed forever; and the reign Of
good toward and among men will
appear in its glory, and the world
will march at g rapid pace to the
glorious destiny that God has de-
creed it. The character OF C!eve-
land will be fnal-"he laid the heav-
lest hand on justice aud liberty" "He
was Nero. only for the power"
There was no good to be interred
with his bones and none to live after
him"

Captain ". G. Davis, of Clarer-
don's Legislative delegation, distln-
guished himself last Saturday in a
speech opposing the bill to abolish
the Citadel. The daily newspapers
speak well of the speech, and we feel
proud of our young representative
for standing squarely by his alma
mater. The Citadel Academy is do
ing good work in the State and it
should be literally supported. The
people are disposed to build up
rather than to tear down, and we
now think the constitutional conven-
ton made a mistake in not engraft-
ing the support OF the educational
institutions into the organic law.
Had they done so, the Citadel, Glenn
son, and the other colleges would
not be the footballs of every dema-
gogue desiring to make an issue for
self-advancement. The Citadel made
a narrow escape last Saturday and
we are glad that Clarendon helped to
do the saving.

The Charleston politicians are in a
peck of trouble about their police
matters. Chief Martin has the dis
pleasure of the newly elected mayor,
on account OF the formers advocat.
ing Huger for mayor, and the result
will be that Martins head will go in
the basket unless the Governor saves
him with the authority given to him
under the metropolitan police law.
When in the city last week we took
the trouble to make some inquiries
about the police muddie and we
found a strong sentiment in favor OF
the metropolitan police in case Mar
tin is removed. The argument IS
that if Martin is removed the city
will be under the control and domi-
nation of the gamblers and whiskey
men, and with Martin re-instated
with d good and obedient force to
back him, the gambling hells and
blind tigers will have troublesome
time. Ever since the election the
blind tigers do not pretend to hide
They conduct open bar-rooms, anc
in some cases policemen can be seen
in them drinking. We asked one
tiger why it was he dreaded the met
ropolitan police, and he said: "De
guvnor Will put dat scouudrel Martin
as chief and be viii put ou a police
dat will elder preak US up or watch us
so dat ve 60 pisness not so easy" The
dread of a metropolitan police fol
Charleston is principally confined to
those who wish to violate the law.
The dispensary law is not enforced IN
Charleston, and the State and city
officers are to blame. The governor
should see to it that the law is en-
forced in Charleston as it is in other
towns, and il the city officials will
not do their duty, the Governor
should take hold and do his.

The Herald devotes four pages TO
technical testimony and addresses by
Counsel Askwith and Choate.
In the course of the testimony Dun

E. A. Gardner of Cooks Inlet Trading

lust returned from Alaska, says:
''It is a fact little known that the
Alaska Commercial company has been
for a long time operating a mine on
Unsla island, the output of which is
100000 month. The output is shipped
monthly to San Francisco by the COM
pany's steamers The whole island has
been prospected and claimed by the
company and is rich in free milling
ores. The same condition exists on the
other islands in the vicinity. They
abound in rich free milling ore, Offering
splendid profits for mining. My infor-
nation is gathered largely from men
engaged in the industry and from per-
sona observations. These islands are
about 200 miles to the westward of

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

Unconscious Condition.

A Maa Found Dead and His Wife In an
Unconscious Condition.
CHICAGO, jar. 21.-August Johanson,
a saloonkeeper at 3,S3s Cottage Grove
avenue, was found in his room over the
saloon at midnight His wife was found
lying unconscious on the floor of the
diningrcom adjoining.
The discovery was made X Otto
Bremen, bartender for JohansCa, who
went to the room to awaken his part
ner. Brenner hurriedly summoned the
police and ther used every effort to re-
vive Mrs. Johanson. When She had
come around she said she was preparing
for bed about 10 o'clock Her husband
was asleep in the adjoining room, when
suddenly three men entered the dining
room. Before she could make an out
cry one Of the intruders threw a towel
over her head and bore her to the floor
She felt herself becoming unconscious
but before she passed into comatose
state she felt one of the man tuSg1ng at
her stocking. in which was S;i5 III bills.
Then she lost consciousness and knew
nothing until revived by the bartender
and the policemen.
Mrs. Johanson is 80 years old and her
husband was 80. She was closely cues
toned and said that about noon she
gave her husband a cup Of coffee and
shortly afterward he laid down and
went to sleep.
Inquiry among the neighbors develops
the fact that Johanson and his wife
had frequent quarrels, caused by jeal-
ousy. The police considered the cir
cumstances attending the death Of Jo-
hanson to be sufficiently suspicious to
place all the persons il the place under
arrest.
Those taken into custody were: OTTO
Brenner, the bartender, Donaman b.
erS, also employed il the saloon; AKIN
da Gustafson, servant girl; Samuel
NiSSen, Ollie Van Nato, Charles Wilson,
Frank Nelson and Alexander Peterson.
Dr. Biselow was called by the police
and after examining Johanson's body
said there wasStronS evidence OF poison
ing but that post-mortem would be
necessary to fully determine the matter

when men will be looked upon for
their real value rather than from the
standpoint of sentiment. South Car
olina is now ready and ripe for en-

that the way to retard and obstruct

Of liberty the ncnse Of woe anl des-
olation; that their interest demanded
the destruction Of silver and large
issue of national bonds. They at
once set in motion their vast AND
inrincible political machinery.
Congress was at once convened IN
extraordinary session. Cleveland's S
message came and behol3! it was a
special plea for tie deraaa of the
mercy gang. lie put forth the
absurd and hypocritical plea that
the nation was going to perdition for
the want of confidence in the money
circles, and that if the silver dollar
could be destroyed prosperity would
return suddenly like clap of thun-
der. He turned a deaf ear to the
cry Of sixty millions of laborers and
producers and at once became the
champion of shylocks against his peo-
pie. He set about, with a dogged
and determined purpose, to accom-
plish the unholy and fiendish pur-
pose OF his masters. The stale cant
of Wall street such as "sound money,
"honest money" a dollar good all
over the world were uttered by him
like trained parrot. In order to
enforce the demands of these few for
more plunder and spoils, be brought
to bear all the power and patronage
of his high Office. To carry into
effect the desire of these modern
monsters of greed, to hold up and
sack and plunder helpless millions,
he prostituted his high position as
president of this repablic, and, like
a seeker of bargains in the market,
bartered and traded with spoilsmen
and bargained with Copgressmen
and Senators for their votes in be-
trayal of the people. Those who
withstood his onslaughfs and remain
ed true to their trusts, he scorned
and held as enemies. No sbyster IN
police court ever resorted to means
more questionable to carry a point
At the command of his employers IN
the East, that silver should be dis
credited, he ordered that silver Oh
legations should be paid in gold.

Matrimony, like the measles, is
catching" But, unlike that disease,
one may have tasecond or third time.
1t RACES systematically and is often
epidemic. For year or so there is
Il social drought, when marriages are
few and far between; then ome a
spirited change; when there is pros
perity in the justice office, and joy
in the home of the clergy, for every
body seemingly catches the infection
at once.
Doubtless this ebb and flow Of the
matrimonial tide is in a notable de-
gree controlled by financial or indus
trial conditions. Marriages are more
apt to occur in seasons of industrial
prosperity, and when times are dis
tressingly hard the reverse is true.
June claims o marriages than any
other month, with December follow
ing as Il close second. But it is also
strikingly true that whenever "A man
and a maid mentally resolve, for
veal or woe, to link their fortunes,
the times and seasons drop out of
sight, and every known force bends
toward the hasty consnmmation of
their devout intentions.
Several times at Neihart have the
souls atfinitics been awakened by an
epidemic such as the above-mention-
ed, and yet there are apparently
those who always escape the disease,

nmphant over passion, or awful eX-
