Public opinion is doubtless much in IA
vor of the treaty. For this reason L feel
sure it will be ratified. 1t MAY not come
before the expiration of the term of this
administration, but that will not make any
difference. 1t will Lccomc the law of the
land just the same, no matter when it is
rtiIiCd. President Cleveland and Sccre-
tary OlneY will get the credit for it too.
They cannot lie robbed of that. According
TO our constitution, the reader will remem-
ber all treaties must be ratified by the sen
ate, two-thirdS of the senators present Vot-
ing for it. In Great Britain the sovereign
has the power to conclude treaties without
the aid of parliament, and in this respect
the executive head of the British nation is
much more powerful than our chief magis-
tratc. In other respects the president is
really more powerful sovereign than the

Tillman q Repudiationist.

The principle black spot in Tillmsn's public
career is his avowed determination and
strenuous effort to defeat the claim Of Wesley
in the Blue Ridge Scrip and the Agricultural
Hall matter.
who is acquainted with the facts, knows that
Wesley deserves consideration from the Leg
islature Of South Carolina.
Tillman virtually says that II Wesley is al
lowed to 60 into Court that his claim will be
established. The facts of the case, and Till
mans determination to refuse justice to Wes-
ley, is not to his credit. AS an honest man he
knows that provision should be made to pay
Wesley the money which we him, but 1t
may be, that he, as q politician, Is afraid to
allow Wesley a chance to set up his claim.
II Tillman takes this State as a community
Of repudiationists we think he under-esti.
mates the virtue and intelligence OF this peo-
pie.
The action of South Carolina In passing of
fraudulent or illegal paper to raise money to
discharge valid debts. would disgrace any re-
spectacle or decent people or the face of the
earth.
How can any honest man In South Carolina
look upon our magnificent state house with
out q blush OF shame and disgrace when he
remembers that the State of South Carolina
~repudiated her debt which was incurred to
build 1t. Away back, before the war, the to-
ney and arislocratic people OF South Carolina
issued State house bonds to raise money 10
erect that building.
The Legislature in Its honesty required the
holders Of those bonds to take fifty cents on
the dollar for them.
The officers and the Legislature Of South
Carolina refuse to let dissatisfied creditors 60
into Court. knowing full we'll that the Courts
would require the great State OF South Caro-.
lima to pay her honest debts.
South Carolina repudia ties her debt for the
State house, and builds'colleges of which our
people are proud, but the latter act does not
wipe ont the disgrace Of the former act.

Curry the Farm Horses.

Horses on the farm do not have the
sleek look that horses in the city liver
les have.
Neither will they accomplish so
much work. The difference Is partly
owing to the fact the horse IN the
city has a large proportion of grain,
while the farm horse, ever while
working, gets most of his nutrition
from hay. But grooming has also u
great deal to do with the superior slick
ness of the city horses coat. The
currycomb is not a. much used as it
should be on farm horses.
We know, says The Prince Edward
Island Agriculturist, many places
where the brush and currycomb are
seldom used, except while the horses Is
shedding his coat. But used at any
time it promotes the secretion of oil,
which moistens the coats and makes 1t
shine. A we'll groomed horse So usu-
ally we'll fed. But if the grooming
We're thoroughly done at least once a
day, the horse would keep In good cen
dltion with less food than it now re-
ceives.
Good grooming undoubtedly aids
digestion, as rubbing the body pro-
notes digestion in people, and is an
excellent substitute for exercise foz
those who do little muscular work.

Deserve Thanks.

The people OF South Carolina, without re-
gard to political lines. owe Senators Tillmsn
and McLaurin their thanks for the manly
way in which they are fighting for the best
interests Of the farmers in the matter of tariff
on rice and cotton.
1t really begins to look as If the Southern
representatives In Congress are beginning to
learn lessons in sensible legislation, n the
enactment of practical laws for the welfare of
the people will likely follow.
Protection is the policy Of the American
people, and the South would be natural born
fools not to recognize a fact which must be
patent 10 all others. If protection helps the
Northern farmer why should 1t not help the
Southern planter?

Remedies For Internal Poisoning.

These remedies for internal poisoning
are suggested by a technical journal:
A tablespoonful of ground mustard in
glass Of warm water, followed by more
warm water until vomiting occurs, is
an excellent emelic. Common salt will
wei in the absence of mustard, or
a glass of cool water, with a heaping
teaspoonful each of common salt and
ground mustard stirred into it is good.
The whites of eggs or a cup of strong
coffee are antidotes for a greater num-
Der of poisons than any dozen other
articles known, with the advantage of
being easily accessible. Sweet oil,
lamp oil, dripplings. melted butter or
lard, are good substitutes, especially
if they are vomited quickly. Should
vomiting continue excessively after all
traces of poison have been removed, 1t
may often be relieve by immersing
the hands and wrists in rs hot water a.
can be borne meanwhile give the pa
tient clear cold coffee, or cream of tar
