"'Till the Mlsts Have Rolled
Away"

Mr.. EDITOR: I notice there has
recently been a great hue and cry
raised in your paper about Messrs.
Gaines and Yeldell's not resigning
their commissions as representa-
tives for Edgefeld county, and an
outsider judging from the wall
ings of these make believe politi-
cal .benefac!ors would think that
proud old Edge6eld was in great
danger of being plundered, stolen
and carried over to, Greenwood
county to be distributed among
the poor offspring of it's mothsr-
county, by Messrs. Gaines and
Yeldell. These same would be
benefactors are trying to make the
people of old Edgefeld believe
that an overwhelming majority of
her voters are in favor of asking
these gentlemen to resign. In
fact, judging from the vehement
and abusive advectives used in
describing the villainy of these
imaginary political renegades I
was almost persuaded to believe
that majority of the people of
old Edgefe d, not only wanted
them to resign, but, that they were
so wrought up over the matter,
that if these gentlemen didn't
make haste about the matter they
were in immediate danger of he.
ing hanged for political treaeon
so 1 began to look around to see il
the people were really in earnest
and to my utter surprise, in all Of
my meanderings 1 found only 8
man here and there who thought
they should resign their Offices.
I'm afraid the few I did find, were
probably influenced by certain
ambitious politicians, and over.
anxious newspapers around and
about Edgefeld Court House.
I was talking to g. prominent
physician not long since, whose
practice extends over a pretty con
siderable portion of Edgefeld
county. He said, that in all of
his rounds he had not heard sim
gle protest against Messrs. Gaines
and Yeldell's holding on their full
terms, and that he believed the
people were perfectly satisfied with
present state of affairs, tina t these
gentlemen would represent the
whole people of Edgefeld just as
they would have done, had they
remained with us. Some person
or persons are not only trying to
bias the people against Messrs
Games and Yeldell in our own
county through our own county
newspapers, but we suspect them
of asking or seeking help from
neighboring county newspapers,

help run this game of bluff. They
will find in the end that their eff.

suppose.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the people un,

WASHINGTON CABINET GOSSIP
Senator Perkins Wants Secretary o1
Mines and Mining-McKenna May
Not Accept

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-Sena-
tor Perkins is preparing bill which he
will soon introduce, providing for new
Cabinet portfolio-that of Secretary of
Mines and Mining. He believes that this
place should go to California.
The Cabinet sharps are still at work
making states for President-elect McKin-
ley. The treasury taryship is what
bothers them most since Mr.. DingIey has
declined it, likewise Allison of Iowa, and
Mark Hanna, who was mentioned for the
place, wants to be Senator from Ohio. 1t
is, of course, conceded that Senator Sher-
man Will be made Secretary of State, and
it was pretty well settled by the gossips
to-day that Long of Massachusetts, will be
Secretary of the Navy; Golf of West Vir-
ginia. Attorney-General; Henry G. Payne
of Wisconsin, Postmaster General; ex-
Congressman Wilson of Iowa, Secretary
of Agriculture; General Alger of Michi-
gan, Secretary of State.
1t is conceded that Judge McKenna of
California can be Secretary of the Interior
if he wants the place, but it is considered
doubtful whether he would be willing to
resign his present life position unless he
received an assurance from the President
elect that he will be appointed to the first
vacancy on the Supreme bench. If he
should decline the honor the place might
be offered to ex-senator Charles N. FELTON,.

Associated with the prisoners counsel

Associated with the prisoners counsel,
which also includes Solicitor Charles Rus
sell, son of Lord Chief Justice of Eng
land, is Mr.. John f. Mcintyre, formerly
Assistant District Attorney of New York
County, who was engaged by Ivory s
friends to come to England and assist in
his defense 1t has been said that Mr..
Mcintyre would perhaps be permitted to
plead on behalf of Ivory, but it is now
known that his action in court will be
limited to aiding the other counsel for the
defense in an advisory capacity. Mr.. Nc
Intyre watched the proceedings closely
and occasionally conversed with the other
lawyers as the case went on.
Witnesses from Antwerp were called to
testify when Mr.. Taylor interposed, say
ing that no sufficient foundation had been
laid by the prosecution upon which to
show concerted purpose or action on the
part of Ivory with the other alleged con-
spirotors Ivory and the others, he ad-
mitted, had been seen drinking together
and there had also been an exchange OF
letters between the prisoner and lyman,
but these circumstances furnished no evi.
dence of the existence of a conspiracy.
The admission of the Antwerp testi-
mony was postponed.
The manager OF the Hotel Havre, at
Havre, testified to the arrival of four men
at his hotel, who were supposed to have
been Ivory and his three alleged asso-
ciates.

Report of the Waterways
Commission Sent to
the House.
With 1t President Cleveland
Submits a Message Favoring
the Project.
Asks for an Economical Appropria.
tion to Cover the Cost of
Preliminary Work.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 1S.-The
President to-day sent to the House the
report of the deep waterways commission,
made in pursuance of an act of Congress
in 1895, its work being to make a pre-
liminary examination regarding q deep
waterway from the ocean to the great
lakes. He accompanied it by the follow
ing message:
To the Senate and House Of Representatives:
transmit herewith the report OF Messrs. James
B. Angel OF Michigan, John E. Russell of
Massachusetts, and Lyman E. Cooley of ILL
noiS, who were appointed Commissioners
under authority of law passed March 20, 1895,
to make inquiry and report after a conference
with such similar Commissioners as might be
appointed on behalf of Great Britain or the
Dominion of Canada, concerning the FEAST
bility of the construction fsuch canals as will
enable vessels engaged in ocean commerce to
pass between the great lakes and the Atlantic
Ocean, and the most convenient location and
probable cost of such canals, together with
other facts and information in said act relat-
hing to their construction and use.
The Comm ssioners have prose cuted the
work assigned them with zeal and intelligence,
resulting in the collection of mass of in
formation embodied in their report and its
accompanying exhibits which is of great i'm
portance and interest as related TO the project
subjected to their examination.
The main advantages of direct and un-
broken water transportation of the prod ucts
of our Western States and Territories from
convenient points of shipment to our sea-
board points are plainly palpable. The re-
port of the Commissioners in my opinion,
demonstrates the feasibility of securing such
transportation and gives grounds for the an
ticipation that better and more uninterrupted
commerce through the plans suggested be-
tween the great West and foreign ports with
the increase of National prosperity which
must follow in its train will not long pc
American enterprise and activity.
1t win be observed that the report OF the
Commissioners though as comprehensive as
the time and facilities their disposal per-
mitted, does not definitely deal with the cost
of the work they were called upon to consider
and omits some OF the other details related
TO it.
Thus far they have labored without compen-
sation and part OF the small sum appropri-
| ated for the payment of their expenses still
remains unexpended.
l suggest to Congress the availability of
making an economical appropriation for the
| further prosecution OF their work which will
more surely develop their work to an exact and
| complete understanding of this important
| subject. GROVER CLEVELAND.

taken up, and Morgan CD of Alabama
addressed the Senate. He said that the
Com mlttee on Nicaragua canal was unan1-
nous IN its approval of every feature OF
the bill. He was satisfied that it was the
best bill yet presented on the subject. 1t
was more conservative and lett more
power in the hands of the President than
any oJher bill. He mentioned the names
OF ex-Senators Edmunds of Vermont and
brown OF Georgia, as enthusiastic friends
OF the Nicaragua canal bill, and said that
from all over the United States-East and
West, North and South, and in the CEN
ter-lt had been supported both in the
Senate and House by men who had con-
CURED most heartily in regarding the pro-
ject as one of indispensable National
necessity, and as one affecting the Ma
tlonal glory and honor.
In the course of his speech Morgan said !:
II we do not pass this measure, how are we
to prevent Nicaragua from saying, Congress
has abandoned the project, and now the Gov
ernment OF Great Britain has q right to come
in?'' l insist on this bill being passed now or
on its being defeated right now.
We have got matters lying just in front of us
relating to the arbitration OF differences be-
tween the Governments of the United States
and Great Britain. l want to know what the
differences are. want 10 know what we are
signing our names to in ratifying this treaty.
If the differences relate to the Monroe doctrine
or to the Clay -Bulwer treaty l want to
know. If this is to be an American canal,
under American control, want to know 1T. l
want to know whether we are prepared to
settle difference of that kind or difference
in relation te the Monroe doctrine by a court
to be established through the triumphage of
King Oscar of Sweden, or whether it is TO be
settled by the strength and power OF the right
arm of the United States, duly asserted in de-
tense of its rights.
Morgan then went on to discuss and ex-
plain the financial features OF the bill,
and said:
If the decision of the Senate is against this
bill on the ground either that the canal is i'm
prac ticable that it would cost too much,
or that it might involve US in conflict with
foreign Governments, express that voice. Let
these men, the directors and managers of the
company, go, and let US no longer stand as
shadow over them or as an obstacle be-
tween them and other parties. Let us either
accept the measure or discard it, or let us take
our ground where honor and justice calls.
After Morgan closed his speech the bill
went over as unfinished business, and the
Senate, after short executive session, ad-
iourned at 5 :15 until tomorrow.

WAR ON TRUSTS AND COMBINES.
Nebraska WH Be an Unhealthy State
for MnnipUIators of the Prices
of Farm Products.

LINCOLN, NEBR., Jan. 18.-The Legis-
Iature of Nebraska has declared war on
trusts and the first move looking to the
enforcement of the statutes began to-day
in the Senate with long resolution in
troduced by Senator Dearing of Cass
County (Fusionist). Following is the gist
of the resolution:
WHEREAS, There is an association or COM
binatlon of persons in Nebraska, organized for
the purpose OF controlling the prices OF tarm
cereals and restricting competition in buying
and selling of the same; and whereas. said
combination or organization is formed and
operates to restrain trade, and thereby foster
a trust that fixes and controls the prices paid
for all farm prooucts; now, therefore,
ResolUed, By the Senate of the State OF Ne
braska, the House of Representatives con-
curing, that the Attorney-General be and he is
hereby authorized and instructed to proceed
at once to en- Jrce the provision OF the statutes
in such cases provided: and further, that he
be Instructed TO urge county attorneys, in
every case where combinations are known TO
exist, to institute proceedings to compel the
officer and members OF all corporations or
mbinations so exis ting to forfeit their right
to do business in Nebraska.
The Nebraska law provides for a for
feiture OF business on conviction, a fine
and imprisonment or both.

services were over. At the express re-
quest of Mrs. Willis no sermon or euiogy
was delivered. The hymns and solos sung
were selected by her and were ola faVor-
ties of her late husband.
The church was beautifully decorated
with flowers, ferns, palms and potted
plants, the American flag oelng con-
spicuous on either side of the organ. I'M
mense palm leaves ran up from the sides
of the choir, the railing of which was COM
nletely hidden by masses of cut flowers
and ferns. The many floral offerings were
disposed about the pulpit platform and
in front thereof.
At the conclusion of the services in the
church platoon of police marched up to
the doors and led the way for the process
sion. They were followed by the Govern
ment band of twenty-elght pieces. Then
came the grand marshal, Colonel Mclean,
and the following staff all mounted: Cap
tain Shaefer, chief aid; Lieutenant-Col-
onel j. H. Fisher, Major G. B. Cooper,
Captain w. G. Ashley, Captain J. NJ. Ca
mara and Captain Z. o. White. Follow
ing them came the entire First Regiment
of the National Guard of Hawaii under
the command of Major Mcleod and the
battalion from the Alert. The pail be arers,
in carriages, came next, the hearse follow
ing and the body bearers. The officiating
cIergymen, family of the deceased, at
tending physicians and chief mourner,
came next. Following were President
Dole and his aid, Major Potter, Hon.
Henery E. Cooper, Minister of Foreign
Affairs and the Chief Justice of the SUI
preme Court, Circuit and District Court
JUDGES, Senators and Representatives,
Captain Hanford and officers of the Alert
and all the members of the consular corps
and foreign diplomats. Then came Oahu
Lodge No. and Mystic Lodge No. of the
Knights of Pythias, to which order the de-
ceased belonged. Immediately following
came q delegation of more than 100 mem
bers of the Hawaiian Patriotic League and
the general public in carriages and on
foot. The funeral procession was over a
mile in length, and was the largest since
that Of Kalakaua.
The route from the church to the ceme-
terry over a mile-was lined with specta-
tors. Reaching the gates the military
formed on either side and the procession
passed through. The Alert's battalion
went into the cemetery and took up po-
sition near the Patty vault, where the re-
mains of the lamented Kate Field SO
lately rested, and which was now to re-
ceive the remains of another distin-
guished American. The large cemetery
was so crowded with people that Colonel
Mclean deemed it wise to order the
troops to remain outside the gates.
At the vault the quartet sang another
hymn; Rev. J. Nj. Monroe read the Scrip
ture lesson; Miss Grace Richards sang
Asleep in jesus; Rev. Mr.. Birnie pro-
nounced the benediction, and with taps
from the drum corps of the Alert the i'm
pressive services came to an end.
During the march to the cemetery sa'
lutte of fifteen guns was fired at intervals
of one minute from the Government
building.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Jan. 1S-It has be-
come necessary for the Republicans of the
State to put forward candidate for Nc
Kinley's Cabinet in place of Cornelius n.
Bliss who, for personal reasons entirely,
could not accept the proffered portfolio.
In view of this situation an important
conference of Republicans was held last
night in the Fifth avenue Hotel. 1t is
well known that Mckinley desires to give
a Cabinet place to New York, and Bliss
withdrawal has become a matter of uni
versal regret.
There is talk of putting forward Bliss as
the Republican candidate for Mavor of
Greater New YORK. He could thus re-
tain his home in New York and at the
same time be of service to the Republican
party.
Meantime, who is the representative to
be selected for place in McKinIey's Cab
inet2 The conference adjourned last
night without arriving at decision. 1t
was the opinion, though, that he will be
known within a few days, and that the n
Mckinley will be asked to take under
consideration the name presented to him.

TO BE TALKED TO DEATH.
Fate That Probably Atcnits the Harrison n
Refunding B5L.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 18.-It
seems to be the general belief here that
the Harrison bill for commission OF
Cabinet officers to arrange settlement OF
the Pacific roads debts will be reported by
the House Committee and that it will pass
the House of Representatives. Senator
Gear said to Judge Mcguire to-day that
the bill would not be considered in the
Senate until the House had disposed of il.
Judge Mcguire does not favor the Har-
rison bill and will oppose it vigorously
but if he sees that it is bound to pass the
House he will propose an amendment
providing that the commission to be ap-
pointed shall not report any plan which
contemplates refunding. The Harrison
bill Cor Gear BILLY is almost certain to fail
in the Senate. The Californians are con-
fident it cannot become law, as Senator
White and other Senators will talk it to
death.

SENDING ooRN TO INDIA.
Food for Sufferers of the Famine to Go
From THIS Country.

From THIS Country.
CHICAGO, ILL. Jan. 1S.-At a meeting
of the Methodist ministers of Chicago
to-day it was decided to cooperate in a
plan originated by Rev. R. G. Hobbs, Sec
rotary of the Illinois Conference and pas
tor of the Centenary Church at Jackson
Vile to send corn to the starving people
of India.
Mr.. Hobbs has asked the farmers in the
vicinity OF Jacksonville to make contri-
buttons of corn for the relief of the famine
sufferers and met with ready response,
the farmers to put the corn on the cars.
The plan was suggested to Rev. S. B.
Leonard of New York, secretary of the
Methodist Missionary Society, who sug-
gested that the corn be shipped to Chicago
and the proceeds be used to buy old corn
for shipment in New York. MIR. Hobbs
suggested and asked the ministers to
handle the corn when it arrived here. A
committee was appointed for that pur-
pose.
