THE CRIME OF DOING BUSINESS

The attempt tc dc business in thc istate of Texas is already punishable by
 fine and imprisonment in certain leases. If populistie rage continues to
 inhabit the minds of the lawmakers
 and public officers of that state 1t is
 pr0ba bIe that within a few years re- ls0rt will be had to sterner measures. Persons detected in the felOnious en- deaYor to employ capital or carry on trade in Texas will be hanged or burned at the stake.
 Our readers are aware that an anti trust law was recently enacted by thc Texas legislature by which articles manufactured or dealt in by trusts or
 combinations are put under the ban. Another step in the policy of driving g criminal capitalists out of the state has
 just been taken by the attorney gen eral. This enlightened person bears
 the name of Smith He has just ren- Idered an opinicn declaring that where i Q foreign corporation doing business iD Texas under permit shall fail to pay l its franchise tax within six months Of 1 the date at which it is due. together
 with the penalty of s per month for the period of the delinquency, it's per nit Is forfeited and another permit shall not be issued. It is forever de barred from doing business in the state
 In all fully civilized countries the omission to perform an act required by law to be performed, if cccasioned by neglect or inadvertence, may usually be remedied by subsequent comp1i- aEce with the law. The imposition of ia penalty for non-payment of taxes presGpp0ses the right to repair the omission. Tn Texas, however. the peo- pie appear jC have made up their minds that the atrccious crime of doing business has got to stop. They are resolved that the money power shall not get it's grip on them. Any man who invades the state wfth money, intending to employ it in man ufacturing CT in trade or business of amy kind is looked on as a public enc ny. He would enslaVe the freemen of Texas and get them into his power by employing them and paying them wages He would add the gains Of his Texas venture to his other culpable wealth and go to Washington to bribe senators to vote against free silver and against the enactment Of a law de eie'A lis t2AINe D114k114@ SldIl De CODSIH- cred felony and be punishable aS such
 The spirit that possesses these Texas statesmen is the spirit of Bryan and all his kind. It is the spirit of the old Granger law. It is populism. A blind hostility to corporations and to capital and the owners Of capital is the chief popular delusiCn O. the present day.
  serious-minded public men. if they nave ambition and ward votes. find it difficult or impossible to refrain from Jcining in the pursuit of the octopus.
 It is evident that the question whether business shall be considered criminal will be one of the prominent issues of the presidential contest of I9O0. The delusion will not cease from troubling until the patty the,. it has been soundIy whipped at the poils-New York Times.

RIGHTS OF INDIAN DESCENT.
Persons Having One-Eighth InhdEan Blood Entitled to Land Allotme1ts.

BIOOQ EQLlUiGu IC ldLu AIIOt-n0-ACS
 Omaha, Neb., July 7.-As 9 result of a decision of Judge Shiras of the United States supreme court filed here today, all persons with as much as one-eighth Indian blood in their vsins will be entitled to any allotmsnts of moneys or lands to which full-blooded members of the tribe to which they may be related are entitled. This af- fleets thousands of persons throughout the country, and about one-haH the population of ThurstoH county, Neb.
 The decision was in favor of United States Commissioner Sloan of Pende-, Neb., who brought suit some tinls ago to have his rights established to 9 share oflIndian lands to be allotted in that reservation His claim was re- sisted on the grounds that a person with so slight a stain of blood could not inherit on equal terms with full bloods, and, in addition. if he could have done 50 pItm3c.ly hs was barred by the action of Eis grandparents, who, t is alleged, accepted property in full satisfaction of their tribal Tela- tions and obligations.
 Judge Shiras finds to the contrary and Sloan wins a fortune. The decis- ion will very much compLoate the h. dian allotments in future and reopen many olJia eases.

 In explanation of the child's death this woman says that there was a lack of faith on the part of the boys father

that Sam Hose was, and there arc
others OF different cOlOrs who are worse
than any beasts we know OF and whom
we hope have no souls to be tormeuted
in the fires Of hell and therefore should
be burned in this world. Solomon
says that the spirit Of man goeth up.
ward and the spirit Of a beast gocth
downward into .he earth.
Bat this theory Of the doctor will
not bear serious thought. If he had
confined it to physical structure of the
imported Africans. whom New Eng.
land rum paid for and brought over
there, it might have some force, but
he can't investigate the soul or where
It came I: ON or whittier it is going.
That is 8 mystery past our ken. There
Is an aged woman here whom evcry-
body knows as old Mamma Hayward
who Is old enough to have come from
Africa and looks as much like bab-
boon as possible, but il there is a true
Christian in Cartersvillo we all believe
she Is one. Though ninety years OF
age, she takes u back seat in tho white
folks church every Sabbath aud re-
jOices in the service. She has faith
fully served four generations and Is
serving yet. If she has no soul now
perhaps it is possible for the Creatnr
to give her one when she dies so that
she may enter that rest that rcmnincth
for the people OF God. And we know
many negroes who give as much evil
donCe Of navihg souls as do the Chris.
tians who are white, but most Of this
black generation are headed for the
chaingang. That same merry-heartcd
Bob was sent to tho chaingaug for
killing another negro which he didcnt
mean to do, for it.was willing fight,
and says now that sd ~ is some as
mean niggers in de chaingang as dar
is Outen dur."
And there is the faithful Tip who
vas bOrG ours and who loves us all yet.
The slave who grew up with our older
children and cared for them and they
cared for him-the trusted friend who
watched me long and tenderly while |
W: down with fever In the Virginia
army. What about Tip having no soul?
But Tip is q gingorcake; he is not a
black man. Tip and his parents are of
that peculiar color that Livingston
ranks SO high among the native tribes
The Guinea negro is more like the
missing link and they Werc the best
servants In the world except their de
sire to pick up little things that
"ouldcnt be missed. An original
Guinea negro whose blood has not been
crossed is as docic as q shepherd dog.
Now this startling deliverance Of Dr..
Haaskarl shows that he knows nothing
practically about the negro and is i'm.
nued with the prevailing Northern
prejudice against him. He should
come down here and attend one OF
their shouting meetings ana see the
women carried out in d swOOn.

70 the People Of South Carolina:
In tho providence OF Almighty God,
his cxccllcncy, William Ii. Ellerbe,
late governor OF South Carolina, has
passed to his reward. | regret the sad
event which makes it necessary for me
10 assume the duties OF governor of
South Carolina. Tnc constitution,
however, is mandatory. l have taken
the oath Of Office and assume formal
control OF the executive department
to-day. | have thought it proper to
address word to the people of the
State.
| realize fully tho responsibility of
the position. shall cndcavor to be
faithful and conscientious in the dis
charge OF the duties which shall be
nine.
Ia the wisdom which devised our
system OF government three distinct
departments were madc-the legisla-
tive the executive, the judicial-to
make the laws, to execute the laws,
to interpret the laws. Under our own
constitution they are to I" be forever
separate and distinct from each 9TH
or, and no person exercising the du-
ties OF tho one shall assume to dis
charge the d. lies of the other. 1t is
: wise provision. My duty mainly is
to sec that the laws as placed on the
statute books by the legislative depart.
mcnt arc enforced. This | shall at
tempt to do faithfully and impartially,
and without fear or favor, following
Only where duty points.
In doing 80, however, | ask and shall
expect the hearty cooperation OF every
oiliccr In South Carolina, whether he
holds State Office, o county office, or
an oflice under a municipality. Not
only so, but ask the hearty support
t.nd encouragement OF every citizen of
south Carolina in the enforcement of
law and in the promotion and advance
ment and progress Of our own com
monwealth. | realize the impotency of
any othcer, however faithful he NAV
| 90, no do 8 not have this support.
| ea.'e on tho eve Of great indus
trial advtnce--in man ufacture, educa-
tlon, commerce, and agricu.ture-and
stand ready to contribute my part as
citiZon and officer to this forward move
ment of my people. have no political
punlshments to Liict and no political
rewards to pay. 1t shall be my aim
ana stead fast purpose to 81 i've tho peo-
pie OF the State q strictly business ad-
ministration, and to be the governor Of
oil the people. 70 this end seek their
sympathy, their counsel, and their
prayers, praying myself that peace and
happiness and prosperity may come to
every home in South Carolina.
Yours respectfully,

ESTHER AND MORDECAI.- The tomb
OF Esther and Mordccai, the famous
characters in the GA Testament, Book
OF Either, has been discovered in Ha-
mcdan, Persia. The inscriptions on
the sarcophagi and the tomb itself,
which have been dcciphcrcd and trans.
lated prove its indemnity. In view OF
the TACT that some writer's have tried
to Ciscredit the Biblical story, in whose
commem0ratiOn the festival Of l'urim
lo still annually celebrated by the II -
brcws, this discovery is important.
The Jucdische Tagcblatt, in dcscrip
tlon OF the tomb, states that it is sixty
fect high and evidently has received
additions at various periods. The en-.
trance, which Is 10 the left OF the cen.
ire, leads to an outer passage, which
contains on one side the memorial OF
some ancient sage and on the other
that OF a physician, with Is stand bear
ing lamps in front OF each. A wall
separates the sacred part from the
outer sections: at whose western end a
door leads to the principal scpnlchrc.
10 the right is Mordccai's tomb, and
TO the left E5thcr's. a corridor be.
tween the graves forms q passage for
the pilgrims to the shrine. A scroll
OF the Mosaic law was found preserved
IN Il niche, and au ostrich egg sus-
pended from the dome, the latter being
the custom In all Persian tOmbs.'
