THAT TILLNAN LETTER.

We regard the letter from Senator
Tillman to General Anderson an IN
excusable blunder, both upon the
part of the writer and the receiver.
The former displayed poor taste and
patriotism in advisiog a hypocritlcal
attitude for the State militia and the
latter showed poor Judgment IN CIV
ing the letter to tie press. None Of
us have hankering thirst for Span
ish blood nor for yellow fever, but
we have pride to maintain and our
leaders who can vote their constltu-
ents into a war should not afterwards
place those constituents in an unen-
viable position il the sight OF the
world. South Carolina has always
been found in the front line when the
country nee,ied her services, and as
it has been in tie past, so will 1t be
now. The time has been put behind
US to question the wisdom OF the
cause our government has pursued.
9ur representatives in Congress dis
cussed that matter and they have de-
creed war; these statesmen will not
have to share the privations and hard
ships of soldiers, but on the contrary
they will be enjoying their ease and
comfort in the luxuriously furnished
capitol, drinking Apollinaris lemonade
through straw, while their constit
uents are brushing tadpoles out OF the
way in order to quench their thirst
from a mud-puddle under a burning
tropical sun. We therefore think it
i'll grace in our senior Senator advis-
ing the militia "to simply assume a
attitude of willingness and not be
outdone by other States" If we are

Congress has formally declared
war, and 1t is thought the first naval
battle will come of, near Manila, as
the fleet off Havana has been in
structed to delay the bombardment
of the Cuban capitol. South Caro-
lima has been called upon for one
regiment of infantry, one battalion
and one heavy battery to rendezvous
at Charleston. Governor Ellerbe is
being beseiged with applications for
official positions and bomb proofs
generally There will be a shaking
up of the Presidents cabinet by the
designations of several of its present
members. Already Postmaster Gen
eral Gary and Secretary of State
Sherman have resigned, and Ii is
thought that the secretaries OF the
army and navy Alger and Long will
resign shortly.

Much anxiety has been felt for the
CITY Of Paris, as it was feared she
would fall into the hands of the
enemy, but yesterdays dispatches
relieve the situation. The cruisers
Columbia and Minneapolis arrived of
Cape Cod to escort her flom the
Grand Banks to New York.
The responses to the call for rolun
teers are grati6yingly great and
South Carolina will have her full
quota without any trouble.

PROHIBITION POLITICS.
What the Cold Water Brigade is Doing.
Their Movements Discussed.

Columbia, s. G., April 23.-Politi-
clans are still busy trying to figure
out the effect of the prohibition nom
nations. The country people rs a
rule are disincliued to accept the pro-
bibitionists' solution of the problem
and, like Ephraim of old, are welded
to their dispensary idol. The dis,
pensary seems to fill an aching void
in the constitution of the rural cltl-
zeu. There are several facts in con-
nestion with the dispeusary Which
the rural citizen has accounted TO it as
righteousness, not the least OF which
is that the scandals, and if scaadalous
charges be true the evils Of the sys-
TEN are so far removed from the
threshold of their own doors that the
stencil offends not their nostrils.
However, it is o good indication for

out to speak six hours, and began by
Offering an amendment to the general
statutes of the State, which he asked
to be read from the desk. This was,
of course, ruled out and as substi-
tute began to read Stevens United
States history. This was also check
ed by the presiding officer, and va
rious members of the predominant
faction began to guy the fllibusterer,
and the major in righteous indigna-
ton forgot his task and dashed down
the book in his hand and launched
into such philippe as the Senate
has rarely heard. For forty minutes
he lashed the majority with fervor
and eloquence that the Senate burst
into round after round of spontan-
eous applause when the major, bath
ed in perspiratiou and we'll nigh ex-
hausted by his force, abruptly check
ed himself. Again he proceeded for
a while in slow and deliberate man
ner to consider the bill clause, but
again when be came to taking away
the rights OF citizens under the con-
tempt proceedings, which he charac.
terized as most monstrous, he forgot
himself again and burst into another
impassioned address which so ez-
hausted him that he was obliged to
give up the fight. He had spoken
four hours and at 5 o'clock in the
morning the bill passed its second
reading.
But I have already trespassed
