Fate of Three Men Who Tried to Cross
n Glacier without Guides

SEATTLE, Wash, June 5.-The fate of
the three men-Bottcher, Blackstone and
Molinque-lost while crossing the portage
from Sunrise City. Cook inlet, to Prince
William sound has just been learned. The
men left Sunrise in March, accompanied
by two guides. When the huge glacier
which must be crossed to arrive at the
sound was reached the men hurried ahead
of their guides. They were last seen taking
the left fork of the glacier instead of the
right. A subsequent search showed that
they had reached the edge of the floor of
ice, and, pausing on unsafe ground, the
ice had broken, dashing them 500 feet to
the beach below.

Clemson's Income.

The Columbia State says compari-
son OF the amounts received by the
STATE treasurer from the privilege tax
On fertilizers for this and last year
shows that the difference is small, in
spite of the alarming report sent out
by correspondents that never before
had such amounts of guano, been sold
in their neighborhooas. For this
year the privilege tax up to this time
aggregates $55, 1858 while last year
it was $54, 524 81; difference Of 81
451.56 in favor Of this year. The
privilege tax is 25 cents ton and
four times 81, ,451. S. gives the number
of tons more sold this than last year,
which is 5,S06 tons. Proportioned
equally among the counties of the
State the amount of fertilizers used in
each this year is 145 tors in excess OF
that used last. All of this tax goes to
the support of Clemson. Though the
amount is $55, 975. 80, Clemson has to
pay back to the State $4,000 which
was overpaid one year by a clerical
error. That is to be returned to the
State this year, and will reduce the
colleges's revenue that amount.

A Slav Miner Killed,

The badly mutilated body OF John
Skilko, Slav miner, was found be-
side the Southern Railway tracks
Thursday morning between Cardiff
and Brockside, eighteen miles west OF
Birmingham, Ala. Two theories are
advanced as to how he came to his
death-one that he was murdered by
negroes last night for the purpose of
robbery and then laid across the tracks
and was run over by train; the other
that while intoxicated he walked on
the track and was killed by the train.
Coroner Barkhalter held an inquest
over the remains.

Soot Water for Plants.

SCOT water, made from the SCOT OF
wood fires, is said to be an excellent
fertilizer of house or outdoor plants.
The SCOT should be brushed down from
the chimneys with long handled
brush, gathered into a quart bag and
soaked in rain water over night. The
water, black as ink, will be ready for
use the next morning. To use about
house plants it should be considerably
diluted. It has tendency to bake the
soil and can easily be too strong for
the little amount of earth in window
box or pot. 1t is pefect destroyer of
insects and worms that sometimes in
fest house plants and may be used IN
such cases once or twice week until
they disappear.

the Cincinnati Enquirer. There are
not above sixty ladies, and he has
four sons and twenty three daughters.
The only occasion any OF the shah's
wives are to be seen is in the streets of
1eheran, when they pass in carriages.
When the ladies 60 out driving they
are preceded by a gang of farashes,
who caper ahead on Eheir horses,

And all the men have to scamper up

the gold standard he can join their
organization; if any gold Democrat
repents ne can return to the fold.
However much we may differ from
Mr.. Cleveland we must admit his
courage.
A less resolute man would hesitate
10 assume the leadership of. a little
band of 130, 900, many of whom voted
the Indianapolis ticket by mistake,
and then accused 6,5O0,00 voters of
being either designing agitators or the
dupes of designing agltators.
A man with less self-reliance would
re-examine his own conduct to see
whether it was his folly or theirs
which separated them from 1000, 600
of Democrats who once idolized him, ,
but IN the lexicon of Mr.. Cleveland's
maturer years there is no such word
as mistake"
POWERLESS 10 RELIEVE.
The gold Democracy is impotent to
bring any real relief to the country.
it is long on platitudes and short on
performance, it reaches its maximum
at banquet and its minimum at the
polls. 1t is the toy of those fnanciers
who prate about national honor while
they fatten on the nations extremity,
and is powerless to protect the people
from the extortion of trusts and the
greed of unrestrained corporations.
Those Democrats who believe in
equality before tho law will naturally
gravltate toward the regular Democ.
racy and those Democrats who believe
in & government by syndicates and for
syndicates will naturally drift into the
Republican party, because it offers
them the best prospects Of success.

lucky gone, the rest followed like a
landslide. Mr.. Cleveland was known
10 be a covertly candidate, and,
handicapped by him, the friends of
sound money and revenue reform
were overwhelmed by the malcontents,
raised up in the first place, by Mr..
Cleveland's exasperating temper and
incompetency for leadership.
1T is discouragirg to the friends of
reform in the south and west that
thus prematurely the movement for
honest and sound money should be
freighted down by name which is
potent only for evil. But it is still
more discouraging to reflect that the
man behind this name is as indefati-
gable as he is mischievous, that he is
the author of the lax party discipline
of which he complains; that he is the
author of the protection gibberish

ACllnR COnIulSSlOHcT.
Governor Ellerbe is quite willing to
permit the search light of public opin'
ion to penetrate into the remotest cor
ner of the dispensary workings.
To reporter of The State he said
that he only heard of the Beckroge
trunk for thu first time few days
ago. It was when the above report
of Mr.. CASTOR was referred to him
from the attorney generals office. 1t
was thorough surprise. The cover.
nor continuing, said that he had had
a talk with Clerk Scruggs soon after
the report was referred 10 him. Clerk
Scruggs said that he had sold the
trunk to Mr.. O. w. Garris.
Col. willie Jones was sent for by
the governor and to him said that that
was the first time he had heard of the
trunk.
Though tie governor did not say
so, from his talk it was seen that he
was surprised when he read in The
State of yesterday that Colonel Jones
recalled that the trunk had been put
in the dispensary and report made
of its arrival to the board of which he
is chairman.
Governor Eller5e did not mince
words in speaking of the trunk Incl
dent. They had as we'll take the dis
pensary liquor that is bought by the
State, said he, 'and present it to their
friends" Contraband goods arc the
property of the State as much as the
liquor that is bought, he declared and
there was no warrant or excuse for
them to be considered in any other
light. The constables are paid by the

much to drive the silver RepubllcanS
out of the Republican party, and their
loyalty to bimetallism has not been
shaken by defeat. In his address Sat-
urday night he aided the silver cause
still further by removing whatever
danger there might have been of con-
cessions from the regular Democrats
to the boilers.
If he had discussed the fundamental
principles of Democracy and then
urged union of force upon platform
composing differences on the money
question ne might have done US harm
in some section, but his dogmatic in
sistence upon a foreign financial poll
cy and his endorsement of the organi
zation of the gold Democrats will have
a wholesome influence in convincing
timid Democrats of the folly of any
attempt to reunite the Democrats who
are welded to gold monometallism.
CONTEST IN IT'S INFANCY.
Mr.. Cleveland recognizes that the
contest over the money question, in
stead of being ended, is just beginning;
he recognizes it asan irrepressible con-
Hict, and in this he reasons rightly.
The Democratic party will in 1900
reiterate its demand for free and un-
limited coinage at IL to 1, and it will
be opposed by those who at that time
believe in a gold standard. This being
as certain as any future event can be,
why should those affiliate now who
expect to engage in combat SO soon
hereafter.
We now have q harmonious Demo.
cratic party, and we have boiling
organization which CLANS to represent
another kind of Democracy. Let them
both exist and time will determine
which is fttest to survive.
If any bimetallist is converted to
