CROKiER TALKS WELL.

MT. Richard Croker, the gentleman
 who will indirectly have the direction
 of the expenditure of many millions
 of dollars for the next four years, by
 virtue of being the man who made
 Van Wyck mayor of New York, a
 few days ago refused to have anything
 to say concerning the men who are
 to be appointed to office. He remarked
 that when the men were selected their
 names would be given out by MT. Van Wyck. He did not say, however, that
 he would first give the names to Van Wyck. But MT. Croker has talked nn the subject of the next administration the first of the greater city-and tthis is what he had to remark:
 The next administration of New York city affairs must be better than the last, and as good as the best in the city's history. The people ex- pect it; they have given the city to the democracy with that pledge+that un- derstanding. The party word and the party welfare hereafter both demand that the peoples hope in that behalf must neither be disappointed nor half answered The next city administra- tion must be equal to those hopes of good government upon which the pub- lie has builded.
 Easing the possibilities of the fu- ture upon the: Tammany history of the past the next administration in New York city ought to bring about a revel Of plunder and wastefulness and a dis regard flor the law. It may be DOS slbla that Mir. Croker has gained wis dom as the result of the, election of Mayor Strong and the retirement of Tammany Hall for three years, If the Yam Wyck administration is to be better than the hSnong adminds stra- tion the necessity for the Citizens Union will be removed What has been done in the way of better streets, cleaner streets, law and order. and discipline in the police force during the last three years shows conclu- sively what can be done by a faithful expenditure of money by honest pub lie officers
 If Mayor Van Wyck has the power to do better than has been done for three years Tammany Hall is again upon another long term of power. It makes no difference to the | people of New York city what may be l the political preferences of the men in office so long as their money is l wisely and effectively used. NIT. Croker talks well, but when he finds the Tammany Hall rabble behind him and his mayor, all clamoring for 'pofls, he will discover that in making 'osy promises of better things from Fammany Hall than were given by Mayor Strongs adm ministration. he is aking dangerous liberties with him ielf as prophet.
 Mir. Van Wyck has rare opportun- ny to make a record, but he leads the wrong kind of an element to make he right kind of record

A wealthy citizen in a Gsrman town has been sent to prison for one year on the charge of lese majeste. He became drunk, and, while in his own home, spoke disrespectfully of the German emperor. It is getting dan gerous to even think in critical way of his majesty. The emperor ought to secure some mind readers to dis cover what his discreet subjects think, but are afraid to say concerning him.

Since New York is a much larger city than it was, the difficulties of conducting its affairs satisfactorily on the old spells system are of course in- creased Even a competent man at the head of a department can do lit tie if his subordinates are not of the right kind.

Upon these and other points New Workers will prob ably have plenty of chances to reflect during the next few years.

- It is not amiss probably to say to own
ers of mining prospects that gold mining
is just like any other business, except
maybe that it involves rather more risks.
An undeveloped mine is of no immedi-
ate commercial value. No man is going
to invest money in mine on the strength
of mere surface indications. Under prop
er safeguards to himself, he may be will
ling tc develop at his own expense, and
purchase at a price previously agreed
upon, or let it alone, as the developments
seem to justify but until he has an idea
of what he is getting, he is not going to
buy. If the owner of prospect sees fit
to take the risk of development and the
development shows up satisfactorily, a
profitable sale is reasonable certainty.
On the other hand, if the development
shows no promise, the owner is just where
any other dealer would have been under
the circumstances-out all of his labor
and expense. 1t is incumbent, therefore,
upon owners of prospects to make full
use of their gift of common sense, and,
under all circumstance, to guard carefully
the danger of standing in their own light.

- Prof. John Bach McMaster, of the
University of Pennsylvania, says that
the Cuban resolution recognizing that
a state of war exists in Cuba and de-
claring strict neutrality between the
two parties would not, if passed,
change the relations of Spain and the
United States. If the United States
recognizes the fact of war, he says, it
would leave this government in pre-
cisely the same relation to Spain and
Cuba that it already holds in respect
to Greece and Turkey. The recogni-
tion of a state of war would not give
Spain the right of searching American
vessels, nor would it relieve her from
liability to claims for damages TO the
property or persons of American citi-
zens done by Spain's armies. 1t would
relieve Spain of liability for damages
to American property done by the
Cubans. The Cuban government, if
it were successful, would be liable for
such damages done by it. If Spanish
cruisers seized an American vessel,
claiming it was filibuster, they would
take her to Spanish port and she
would be condemned as prize. Over,
zealousuess on the part of the Spanish,
and conflicting evidence about the
purpose of vessel, would give room
for difficulties.

Among the names of those mentioned
as the possible successor Of Senator Earle,
are John l.. McLaurin, j. E. Tindal, X.
B. Watson, ]. T. Sloan, D. j. Brabham,
w. D. Evans, J. H. Carlisle and John
Gary Evans. The appointment of the
governor will hold good only until the
next meeting of the general assembly,
when there must be an election. 1t has
been suggested that in the meantime the
candidates for the long term be selected
by primary election; but as to whether or
not anything of this kind will be done
just now, seems to be very uncertain.
Already the point has been raised that
the members of the general assembly,
having discharged their obligation by
electing the nominee of the late primary,
would not be bound by another primary.
We do not think, however, that if pri-
mary should be inaugurated, there would
be found many members with sufficient
hardihood to ignore its recommendation.

THE NASHVILLE REUNION.

Considerable interest is being manifest
ed by the Confederate veterans in the pro-
posed reunion in Nashville, Tennessee,
on June 2.
So far, Major Hart, who is interested in
the matter in behalf of the Micah Jen-
kins Camp of Confederate veterans, has
list of about 35 or more who intend to
20 from this section, and others are re-
porting every day.
Just what arrangement will be made
for the trip from here have not been fully
decided upon. The Seaboard Air Line
people has offered to send special car
here, to leave by the O. r. & c., on the
morning of June 81, and get to Nashville
by way of Catawba Junction and Allan.
ia, on the morning of June %.
The distance from here to Nashville is
536 miles, and the best rate, so far offered
is one cent a mile each way. 1t Is posi-
BILE that this is bottom figures; but, all the
same, there is plenty of time yet in which
to perfect arrangements, and Major Hart
will not commit himself until he sees
further.
In the meantime, all the veterans in
this immediate section who intend to
take in the reunion, will do well to ad-
wise Major Hart of the fact, as the larger
the crowd the better the accommodations
that may be secured.

HOMICIDE IN GAFFNEY.

Mr.. Robert Ownes was shot and killed
in Gatfney City, last Sunday, at about
noon, by Mr.. Charles Jaggers, who claims
that the act was accidental.
The shooting took place in the tent OF
flying trapeze, which was being operated
by Owens with Jaggers as assistant. Ac-
cording to the testimony developed at the
inquest, the two young men were point
ing their pistols at each other in fun.
when the weapon of Jaggers was dis
charged with the result stated.
Jaggers is the young man who got into
a difficulty in Yorkville some weeks ago,
shooting Mr.. Church Carroll through the
ear, and whose case was compromised
without investigation by the authorities.
1t is said that Jaggers and Owens had
had several more or less serious quarrels
previous to the shooting, and there are
those in Chester who know both parties,
and who do not fully believe the story
that the killing of Owens was altogether
q matter of accident.
The unfortunate young man who was
killed, was a son of Mr.. James Owens,
formerly of Yorkville, and bore q good
character in every respect. He was about
10 years Of age. His body was taken to
Chester by his father on Sunday night.
and was buried on Monday, the funeral
being attended by a large number of
relatives and friends.
Young Jaggers was committed to Jail
in Gaffney City, and at the approaching
term of court, which convenes next Mon
day, will be tried on the charge of MUIR
der. Mr.. Thomas B. Butler has been
retained for his defense.

BYNUM AND STATE BANKS.

Hon. w. D. Bynum, chairman OF the
executive committee of the boilers from
the Chicago platform, has been spending
few days in South Carolina, advocating
the establishment Of state banks of issue
as the solution Of the present financial
problem. In a speech in Charleston,
among other things. be said:
"The present national banking system
cannot be made to serve the interests OF
the people. 1t would be of no advantage
to communities remote from commercial
centres to allow the organization of banks
with smaller amounts OF capital. Ihe
people of these sections are not the own
ers of government bonds, and even II
thew could raise sufficient sum OF money
to purchase $4,000 worth and start a
bank, the volume of money in that local
ity would he contracted instead OF eX-
panded by the operation.
"It would require the shipment OF more
money out of the country with which to
pay for bonds than would be brought in
by the bank note issue. Suppose, how
ever, instead of investing the $4,000 in
government bonds, the same would safely
sustain rs per cent. of bank note issue,
thus the community would gain double
the amount of loanable capital, which
would materially reduce the rate of in
terest and still give to the banker a
greater profit"
From this it would appear that Mr..
Bynum has pretty good understanding
of the financial question but as to wheth-
er or not he is sincere is another question.
The principal desire of free coinage peo-
pie, for instance, is the establishment OF
a currency system which will insure cir
culation sufficient for the requirements
of business, while the single gold stand
ard people are after only such a circula-
ton as they can contract and control.
State banks will fill the bill of the free
coinage people, and Mr.. Bynum is aware
of that fact. He is also aware, however,
that if he can get the people divided on
the question the relief that would be Of
forded by either scheme would be post
poned only so much the longer, and in
view of the gentleman's past conduct,
we have an idea that this division and
postponement is the principal end that he
is now driving at.

FELL FROM HIS TRAIN.

Mr.. Hugh Mcclure, freight conduc-
tor on the Ohio River and Charleston rail-
road, had a narrow escape with his life
last Saturday afternoon.
Shortly after the train left Newport,
Conductor Mcclure attempted to ascend
from fiat load of lumber to the top of q
box car and, as the result of sudden
jerk, was thrown to the ground with con-
siderable violence.
Nothing was known by the train crew
of the accident until after reaching Tir-
zah, when Conductor Mcclure was miss
ed, and the crew of special that was on
its way to Camden, was requested to look
for the missing man. When found, Con-
ductor Mcclure was in an unconscious
condition, and investigation showed that
his shoulder blade was dislocated. He
was carried to Rock Hill, and on Sunday
was taken to his home at Blacksburg.
He is now getting along as nicely as could
be expected; but will very probably be
laid up for several weeks.

"Chickens come home to roost," they
say, and whether it is true or not, there is
in Senator Tillman's letter to Governor
Ellerbe, published in this issue, what
seems to be a striking exemplification of
the adage. We refer to what the senator
has to say about Larry CAN'T. Tillman
and Irby, it will be remembered, were
originally responsible for the bringing OF
CAN'T into the state, and it was largely
upon the recommendation of Irby, who
represented that CAN'T could "outlie them
all (meaning the South Carolina editors)
put together" that the thing was done.
Now we find Senator Tillman abusing
CAN'T for continuing to do Just what he
was brought here to DO, and somehow
we can't help from thinking that it is
funny.

- Of the Yukon valley in Alaska, they
are telling gold mining stories which
seem to far eclipse anything that was
known in California, even in '49. The
story is that free gold is being panned out
at the rate of from $50 to $500 a day, and a
perfect stream of fortune hunters is rush.
ing into the country from all parts of the
world. AS to how much truth there is in
the story Of such remarkable panning, is,
of course, a matter of very serious doubt /;
but as the scene is rather long distance
away, it is not improbable that the details
have developed considerably in the course
of their travels.
