When Cleveland declared for tariff
reform he got beaten, because the country
did not understand the question. The
fact thst lack of understanding on the
part of the people was the reason was
proven four years later when, upon the
same issue, Cleveland was elected by an
overwhelming majority. Of course he
failed to carry out his promises and the
people were afterward disguised; but
this has nothing to do with the matter.
Bryan advocated free coinage of silver
last year; but on account of the failure OF
a majority of the people to understand
the question he was defeated. Since last
year the people have been growing in
knowledge and experience as they did
during Harrison's administration, and in
1900 they will elect Mr.. Bryan by an over
wnelming majority. And they will not
be disappointed either.

AN INFANT FRATlsICIDE.

A pathetic story comes from Belmont,
a peaceful little commu unity nine miles
north of Rock Hill, near Thorne's ferry,
says the Rock Hill Herald of Wednes-
day. Last Tuesday afternoon, Jim Nc
Cav, the 3-year-old son of Joe McCaw, a
tenant on NJ. B. Massey's place, shot and
killed his infant brother, Bill, not quite 2
years old. Last Sunday, Lum Massey, a
wage-hand on Mr.. NJ. B. Massey's place,
left his pistol under the pillow on the bed
in Joe McCaw's house. Tuesday at din
ner-time another Negro removed it and
put it on joist to get it out of the reach
of the children. Unfortunately little jim
saw him, and, after the Negro man had
left, climbed up to the joist. and got the
pistol, a 32-calibre. Nothing better pre-
senting itself, he tried the efficiency of
the weapon on his little brother, placing
the muzzle against his head. 1t required
the strength of both his little hands to
discharge the weapon, as he afterwards
showed several parties. The weapon was
discharged with fatal effect, the baby VIC
tim living in an unconscious state for five
hours. The youthful fratricide is not
aware of the awfulness of his deed. He
is not quite 3 years old and can scarcely
talk.

RICYCLISTS ORGANIZE.

Pursuant to call, bicyclists Of Yorkville
assembled on the lawn of Mrs. NJ. II.
Metts last Tuesday afternoon for the pur-
pose of considering matters affecting their
interests. In all-young and old, male
and female-there were present SO devo-
tees of the wheel.
Upon preliminary organization, it was
decided to form "The Yorkville Bicycle
Club" Mr.. G. H. O'Leary was elected
president, Mrs. c. G.. Parish first vice
president, DIR. A. Y. Cartwright second
vice president, and Mr.. w. M. Propst,
secretary and treasurer.
DIR. G. NJ. Kuykendal submitted some
resolutions, accompanied with proposed
bicycle ordinance, which the council is
requested to adopt. The resolutions en-
dorse the action of the council in prohib-
itinp tb Q use of the sidewalks by bicyclists
as wise and proper action. They heartily
condemn fast and reckless riding, and
pledge the members to assist in the en-
forcement of all ordinances now existing
or which may hereafter be put on the
books. They 90 on to state, however
that the streets should be so improved as
to admit of comfortable riding, and ask
until such improvements have been co m
pleted, that bicyclists be allowed the
privilege of the sidewalks under the con-
ditions prescribed in the proposed ordi-
nance.
The resolutions and the proposed ordi'
nance was adopted after careful consider.
alton, and, upon motion, a committee OF
eleven members, including the president
of the club, was appointed to present the
papers to the town council and ask fol
their careful consideration.
A few other routine matters connected
with permanent organization were at
tended to, and the club adjourned to hold

Reprimand Recommended.

The Watts court of inquiry has fin.
ished its work and recommended that
the general be reprimanded by the
governor, and further that the case be
referred to the general assembly. 1t
was found that General Watts was
only present at the dress parade by
courtesy, and that he had no right to
command the troops. Colonel Jones
was found to have been remiss in bis
duty in not informing General Watts
that the troops did not have permission
for the use of the college grounds on
the day of the trouble.

- Although we can very easily under
stand how member Of the town council
can entertain such view, we do not agree
with Warden Moore that the proceedings
of the council should not be reported in
detail but only as to final results. Take
the meeting of Friday night of last week
for instance. The final result was the adop-
ton of a bicycle ordinance. Much more
important developments, however, to the
taxpayers of the town, were the sugges-
tions in regard to license schedule, the
evident desire for salaries, and the long
ing for a new charter that will admit OF
higher tax levies. Though with the
young people, the final RESULT was more
with the older and business
folks these other matters overshadowed
They are still being looked
after and thought about, and though as
vet only in their incipiency, we think it
likely that there are great many citizens
who will be disposed to take hand in
them before they become final results.
Again, if adopted ordinances and resolu-
tions were the only matters to be publish
ed, there would be no need Of reporter
at the meetings at all, and the citizens OF
the town would never know who OF the
council was working for the public good,
and who for hiS individual self.

A STATEMENT.

Whereas, At q meeting Of the town
council, held June Is, Mr. Dave Grist, ed
itor and reporter for THE YoRKvILLE
ENQUIRER, was present, and has made
statements in his paper misrepresenting
the intendant in regard to complaints
made to intendant, of bicycle riding on
pavements, and other subjects discussed
Of interest to the town.
Resolved, That we, in assembly, DO re-
pudiate and declare such statements to be
false. AS to the complaints of the ladies
in regard to council refusing to grant
their request, that they would protect
themselves by sprinkling tacks on pave
ments, is q fabrication Of his own. Such
statement was never made by the in
tendant. We further condemn the allu-
sion to the council as sewing society
called together by signal, as un6ecomlng.
s. A. MCELwEE, Warden.
C.. G.. PARISH, Warden.
w. B. MOORE, Warden.
J. E. LOWRY, 1ntendant.
The foregoing paper was signed AT tne
meeting of the town council last Wed
nesday night, and as it is personal
reflection upon myself, it calls for per-
sonal statement, which, with the kindness
of the reader, will make as follows:
l.. The alleged grievance originated in
THE ENQUIRER, and if there has been
any misrepresentation, it has been to the
readers of The ENQUIRER. 1t would
seem, therefore, that if correction is
what is desired, the resolution should
have been sent to this paper. This, how
ever, the council has not done. I secured
the resolution through personal applica-
ton to the town clerk. The "officiaP'
copy has been sent to another paper,
which is not supposed to have misrepre-
sented the council.
2. BY the proceedings reported else
where-and I have reported them as CO..
rectly as I am able to-it will be noted
that Wardens Moore and Parish do not
discuss any alleged misrepresentation ex-
cept that with reference to the tacks.
They did not say that they were positive
that the intendant made no such state.

The government crop report, for the
week ending last Tuesday, says: Cotton
has made good growth during the week
generally throughout the cotton belt, the
interior of Florida and southern Texas
being the only sections in which the crop
has not made satisfactory progress. Re-
ports indicate a marked improvement
over the central portion of the cotton belt
and in northern Texas.

Dodging the Law.

Dodging the Law.
The fact that ]. S. Pinkusshon's orig
inal package establishment was en-
joined by state judge has already
been stated. Later, it was alleged
that the establishment belongs to w.
S. Moore, of New York, and Judge
Simonton issued an order temporarily
restraining the constables from inter
ferring with the liquors belonging to
Moore. J. S. Pinkusshon was, OF
course, still under the restraint of the
injunction issued by the state court.
On Tuesday last, w. S. Moore trans
ferred the agency of his concern to
Jacob Pinkusshon, and at last accounts
there appeared to be nothing for the
state authorities to do but start all
over again.

count of bicycle riding on the sidewalks,
than from any other one cause. These
complaints came from all parts Of town.
Some two or three weeks ago, he and his
wife were at Mrs. Hart's, and Mrs. Hart
had spoken of the danger to children on ac-
count of bicycle riding OH the sidewalks.
He had understood also that Mrs. Barron
was complaining, and he told Mrs. Hart
to submit to the council written petition
and get Mrs. Barron to endorse it; but
she had not done so. He had heard Of
Mrs. Barron's complaint through MIR.
John A. Barron. Mr.. McNulty had
spoken of the danger to pedestrians at
the Liberty street crossing; but when
told that notice had been put up to put
a stop to it, he expressed himself as satis-
fed. When the statement about the
tacks, etc., appeared in the paper, Mr..
Lowry said he went to Mrs. Barron and
assured her that no such statement had
been made OH the floor of the council
chamber. Mrs. Barron had told him
that if he had not come to her about the
matter, she would have come to him. So
far as bicycle riding on the sidewalks was
concerned, Intendant Lowry said it was
"a very important matter. Pedestrians,
children, etc., should be protected; but if
there was any way by which the wheel
men could be allowed the use of side
walks without danger to the balance of
the public, he wasin favor Of such an ar
rangement.
Mr.. Pegram stated that he was against
bicycle riding on the sidewalks before on
account of discrimination, and he stood

came incumbent upon him to come out
in print, and he wanted the other men,
bers of the council TO endorse him. He
then read the resolutions which are pub
lished elsewhere, with the exception OF
provision, excluding the reporter from
attending meetings of the council. Thi
provision was stricken out, as will ap pear
hereafter.
Warden Parish made a statement
which, so far as it bore upon the proposed
resolution, referred only to the matter of
the tacks. He said that if the intendant
had said anything about this, be did not
hear it; but would not say that no such
statement was made. He went on to say
that where he had been quoted in the
meeting, he was quoted correctly, though
he had said some things which he was not
expecting to see published.
Warden Moore said that if the Inten-
dant made the alleged statement about
tacks on the sidewalk, he did not hear it.
Warden McElwee said positively that
the intendant did not make the alleged
statement.
During discussion that followed, War
den Moore said that he had taken the ar
ticle as having been written in spirit OF
frivolity or fun, and that upon reading it
he had laughed heartily. He had not
thought that Mr.. Grist had intended to
reflect upon the council; but MIR. Grist
was there and could state what he meant.
Mr.. Brice said that he was not present
when the matter was first bought up, and
had just begun to understand the situa-
ton. He thought that the council was
dealing with a very delicate matter, and
that it might be we'll to 60 slow. A mat

Scientific Aspect OF Plum Pa adding.

The present are the days of dark.
ness and doubt, when deadly germs
have been proved to lurk on all hands
in what we eat and in what we drink.
Science has warned us off with en-
phatic voice from uncooked saveloys,
from ice creams, from un6erdone
pork, and from a good many other
more or less toothsome delicacies. 1t
has shown that timed meats and stale
soup often spell poison in large let
ters, and that ordinary filters are no
better than 30 many death-traps. In
the midst of all of these disquieting
dangers it is pleasant to be able to say
o good word on behalf of our old
friend the English plum pudding.
Properly made and properly cooked,
it undergoes complete sterilization in
the boiler, and can then be kept for
year and day in dry place, not
only without being bit the worse,
but even with absolute advantage to
its flavor and general attractivensss,
Indigestible it may be to the stomachs
OF our weaker brethren, but danger
Gus, never. With confidence. then,
all halesome folk, whether in the
green bud or the sore and yellow leaf,
have our sanction to indulge discreetly
in this most sweet and seasonable
dish. h.-Medical Press.

Minister Willis as an Attorney,

The death of Minister Willis, in
Hawaii, has set Kentuckians here to
story telling about him says Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Post. One of them describes an Incl
dent illustrative of his methods of try
ing lawsuit before jury. He was
once attorney for a young woman in
case against prominent and wealthy
contractor of Louisville. The case at
tracted much attention and the court
room was crowded when the trial was
on. The contractor took the stand,
and being of an easy conscience, tried
to swear the case out of court. Then
Willis rose in behalf of the young
woman. He did not seek to cross. ez.
anime the witness. He turned to the
great crowd of spectators and at ran
dom singled out man in the front
row.
"Stand up and get sworn where you
stand" said Willis to the astonisned
spectator. "Do you know the de-
fendant?
eyes," answered the spectator.
"Do you know his reputation for
truth and veracity?"
eyes"
"Is it good or bad?"
"Bad."
"Would you believe him under
oath?"
"No."
Then Willis called on another spec
tator to stand up and be sworn, with
similar results. Thus he called on
spectators at random, until he had
sworn fifteen or twenty of them. They
Rll agreed that the contractor could
not be believed under oath. 1t was
proof positive to the jury in impeach-
ing the contractor, for it was clear to
every one that the witnesses had not
been summoned for the purpose OF
impeachment. Willis won the case
and secured q verdict of $40, 600
against the defendant.
