William Mckinley is now the
President of the United States, and if
his Administration does one-half as
we'll as was promised in the cam
paign, the people will have reason to
be glad of the change. His inaugural
address reads we'll and promises
much F.; there is ring of the states
man about it, and he appears to be
aware of the fact that the great body
of toilers in this country have suffered
greatly in the past four years that
agriculture has languished and there
is need for such legislation as will re-
lieve the depression. It now remains
to be seen whether or not he can de-
wise any scheme by which the ex-
isting troubles can be corrected, or
whether his inaugural utterances are
merely made to tickle the ear OF those
who are looking to the government
for the relief the people know they
need and which the politicians admit
is the groundwork of so much unrest
all over the entire union. Let US all
hope for the best.

The United States Senate is fast
becoming rival for the race track or
prize ring Judging from recent events.
Sunday before last while the places
of holy worship were open to the
devout, the Senate chamber was
conducting public business; then,
one day last week Senators Hoar and
Quay, while discussing the matter Of
a quorum, the former intimated the
latter was drinking, and the latter
replied by saying that the former was
either "a lunatic or liar This
kind of talk in the American House
of Lords is shocking, and fortunately
the parties were from the other side
OF the Mason and Dixon line. Had
the incident occurred with any of our
Southern Senators, the newspapers
all over the North would for the next
month be full of indignation. They
would howl for impeachment pro-
ceedings, etc. But two great Repub-
lican States, Massachusetts, and Penn
sylvania are represented by the two
gentlemen-rufians, and the press of
the North are like the little boy the
calf ran lver.

TiIlman on Hanna.
T From the Spartanburg Herald.l


Senator Tillman is to be congratu-
lated on his excellent article which
appeared in Sundays World CIV
ing his views on the advent of Hanna
to the Senate The article is strong,
vigorous and forceful, yet withal
dignifed and as conservative as the
subject warrants.
No right thinking American can
witness this bargain and sale of the
highest Office in the gift of a State,
without a feeling Of shame. In an
swer to the trusts, or by order of the
trusts, this man whose prominence
is due to his ability to go to those
who have gained special favors from
the government and force them to
stand and deliver money that was
used to debauch voters.

The State Treasury.
1From tie Columbia News. ]

The discussion over the new reve-
nue. bills which were n. reduced in
the House of Representatives revealed
the fact of an actual probable def
cheney in the State Treasury ranging
from $4,000 to 100000.
This deficiency was the cause Of
the passage of the income and the
insurance license fee acts and the in
PRODUCTION of the graduated license
bill, which was continued.
The causes assigned for the def
cheney were the loss of the phosphate
royalty and tie Dispensary profits.
The loss of these two sources of reve-
nue. to the Treasury recessitated
either higher rate of direct taxa
tion or a resort to other modes Of
taxation WI .ch would not fall on the
smaller taxpayer. The latter has
been thought the most polite.
The expenditures of the govern
ment in all departments have in
creased, d a higher rate of ts yation
on the asses sed value of the property
is to be avoided, and hence the resort
to the income and license taxes. The
school tax has been raised one mill
by the new Constitution, while the
school funG also takes the Dispensary
profits, the ne County government
bill has increased county taxes and
the reduction in salaries and appro-
pria;ions for State purposes has not
lessened the State expenses.
The General Assembly, we think,
ought to ave entered upon vigOr-
Gus retrenchment of all expenditures
and kept them down to the level of
it's loss of revenue. The County gov
ernments ought to be so reformed as
to lessen the rate of County taxation
at least one-half. The usual method
in fixing the County taxes is to allow
the County Commi> toners to fix it.
The General Assemb y in its supply
bill simply adopts the suggest on Of
the County Commissioners, and thus
delegates to the Commissioners the
power to fix the rate. The conse
quence has been that the finances of
the counties are not as carefully
considered as the States finances,
the County expenditures exceeding
those of the State by thousands Of
dollars.
No reform is more important to the
State than the County governments,
and in them is the source of great
extravaganza, and if this was cor
rected, no new methods of taxation
would be resorted to to meet def
cheney in the State Treasury.
Governor Ellerbe would do the
State great service if he could de-
wise some means Of contracting the
expenses of the County governments,
which year by year increase the bur
den OF taxation.

When such an indomita5le fighter

When such an indomita5le fighter
as the Columbia Estate" is pleased
With the administration of President
AIcsweeney and Speaker Gary, it is
really gratifying, as it begins to look
as if the day of peace is dawning.
Tie estate" has the following COM
plimentary editorial
With real qualification the Estate"
adds to the formal Legislative ac-
acknowledgements its tribute to the i'm
partiality of the presiding officers of
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives. President alcSweeney and
Speaker Gary administered in the
fullest fairness the trusts committed
to them. They recognized the ex-
istence of no faction they respected
the will of the bodies over which they
presided /; they were lust to al ttlae
members. Such service deserves the
recognition which the houses have
given and the press confirms.

That was very humane and COM
mendable act on the part of Governor
Ellerbe when he visited the cell of
Dan c. Murphy, convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged for the murder
of Treasurer Copes of Orangeburg.
He went to talk with the doomed man
to see if any additional light could be
thrown on the case whereby executive
clemency could be used and the law
vindicated. It is the first time we have
ever heard Of Governor doing such
a thing, and he deserves the hearty
commendation of his fellow citizens.
Governor Ellerbe is a man of noble
characteristics aud this act of kind
ness and humanity must appeal to
every one as an example worthy of
emulation.

One of our representatives informs
US that provision has been made for
the chain gang system to be put in
operation in this County. The official
acts are not out yet and our only
source of Information comes from the
daily newspapers. When these acts
are published we propose going over
them carefully to ascertain what the
General Assembly did do for the
benefit Of the masses, and should we
discover anything of interest to the
people we will reproduce it in our
columns.

The Charleston "Post" is the after
noon paper which took occasion to
abuse and vilify Congressman Nc
Laurin upon his arrival in that city
to deliver an address in response to
an invitation from the Dem ocratlc
party, and the very next day it came
out in hypocritical but musical tones
singing 'peace and unity" Now,
here it is again in its issue of the 4th
inst. with the following editorial
"squib':
1t is cheering reflection for South
Carolina that Earle is now seated II
Irby's chair. When Tillman is rele-
gated to the rear also, the State need
no longer blush for her representation
in the Senate.
It is just such newspapers that are
pretending in one breath to want
peace and in the very next they pitch
in and stir up the fires of hate. The
"Post," we believe, was an assistant
Republican" in the last national cam
paign and that may account for its
wanting Tillman relegated to the rear
We repeat that the s:Post" is a news,
paper published nearly every after,
noon in the city Of Charleston; il
might be well to write it down, as il
is spoken of very seldom.

ADJOURNED AT LAST.

The General Assembly, after fifty
seven days, at a cost of about $1,000
a day, of legislating, has at last fin
ished its labors, and when the official
acts are published the public will
learn that very little of Importance
was done, considering the length of
time consumed.
About the most important work
done was an income tax for amounts
of $500 or over, an antitrust and
insurance law, and the Dispensary
law was amended with a view to fix
the law so that it would not conflict
with the United States courts. The
Income tax is only to apply to those
whose incomes have reached the sum
of $4,000. Whether this will stand
the test of the courts in the face of a
very recent decision, we do not know,
and we are not prepared to say that
we favor the law. 1t looks to US as
discriminating, and creating whole
lot of trouble which could be avoided
by making the law appihcaiDiie to all
incomes.
t appears that the government has
a deficit on its hands and some plan
had to be resorted to to get over
it, but the complications which will
be created by this new plan to raise
money may be very expensive; those
who have an income of $2,500 are
able to resist the law and we fear
that resistance will be made, and
thus have the law hung up in the
courts just as was done with the Dis
pensary.

There is one good thing to the
credit of the recent Legislature, that
is, they did not create any new Offices
to increase the expenses of the gov
vernment. The proposed establish
ing of the Office of Labor Commits
sioner and Bank Examiner failed,
which was saving to the people of
a couple OF salaries at least. Either
one OF the positions required the SER
vices of an expert and man quail
fed to fill them can demand fron the
corporations FIVE times the salary
proposed in the bill; therefore, had
the offices been provided, inexperi-
enced men no doubt would have been
selected and their services would
have been useless to the public.

Hon. joseph r. Earle, South Caro-

11Ou. oOeepu IL. HaiAo' SoolA JAW
lina's junior Senator has taken the
oath of Office and entered upon the
discharge Of his duties. We hope
that our pair Of Senators will be able
to get along we'll together, although
many predict that they will not, on
account of Tillman's course in the re-
cent primary. We did not support
Earle in the primary, but we know
that he has the ability and we believe
he will not let local politics hamper
him in supplementing Tillman's efforts
for the good of the people who so
highly honored him. South Carolina
now has as strong a team in the
United States Senate as any State in
the Union.

CORRECT YOU ARE.

The "Piednont Headlight" one Of
the strongest Reform papers in the
State, says:
Last year the poor school children
of South Carolina were robbed of the
profits in the Dispensary, which
money went into the general funds,
Now, General Norton says there is a
deficit of a quarter of a million dol
lars, while the tax levy continues to
pile up, and the prices of all manner
Of agricultural products decline. Let
those who have the management Of
our public funds be required to pub
lish statement showing where all
this money has gone to, SO that at the
next election the voters can know
what expenditures they want Topped
of.

sary law are to be judged by "mlne
ftient WHO keeps Won grocery.

Governor Ellerbe may allow himself
to be persuaded to take away the Met
ropolitan police from Charleston, but
we are afraid he will regret his action
in less than three months, however,
he should be the better judge, as the
responsibility is with him. There is
one thing certain, Charleston needs
some change in the manner OF draw
ing juries, because under the present
system, those in political control can
put just who they please on the jury
and of course, they will not let men
opposed to their methods get where
harm can come to them. Charleston
is opposed to the Dispensary and we
would like to see some modification
of the law for that city, as we believe
the place is too large and its popula-
ton too much mixed to ever get the
present law satisfactorily enforced
but if the matter OF enforce
ment is left 10 the politicians,
the Governor had just as well
suspend the laws operation as far as
Charleston is concerned.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1897-03-10

The Columbia correspondent of the
ssNews and Courier" has apparently
been on the inside for some time in the
matter ofthe Governors action with re-
gard to Charleston and knowing him
to be exceedingly careful in his state
ments, we take what he has been
writing as if with authority from the
fountain head. He said some time
ago what Governor Ellerbe was 60
ing to do, and, when the Legislature
adjourned, signs began to appear
which showed the correspondent
knew what he was writing about.
Why did not the Governor take ac-
ton while the Legislature was in ses-
sion? Was there any probability that
some course would have been taken
by the body to tie the Governors
hands, The Governor, in waiting
until after adjournment, has laid HIM
self liable to criticism, as many will
think he waited out of respect
tc tie opponents of the Metro
politan police and the Dispensary, so
as to not give the Legislature an op-
portunity to upset his scheme of re-
turning the old order OF things to
Charleston.
GovernorEllerbe has made solmen
pledge to be Governor Of the whole
people" and as one of his supporters,
we should feel ashamed of him were
he to be other than the peoples Gov
ernor, but at the same time, he should
not allow the laws of the land outraged
as was done in Charleston, not only
by the violators of the law, but by a
jury who de6antly trampled the law
under foot. In the face of the recent
conduct of Charleston's grand jury
and the protests of the many good citi-
zens,if the Governor takes of the Met
ropolitan police,it will be turning of
the other cheek sure enough, and we
will only have to wait and see if the
sweetly ladened promises of the Dis
pensary laws opponents will amount
to anything after the first few months.
