The State Press on Col. Griffith.

Senator D. J. Griffith of Lexington
county was yesterday elected super
iptendent of the penitentiary over
four competitors, by changes made
at the close of the first ballot. Capt.
Griffith is a man of excellent stand
ing, is credited with good business
capacity, and by his courtesy and his
broad-minded course in the legisla-
ture has made many friends. He
will doubtless give a successful and
satisfactory administration of the
penitentiary.-Colurnbia State.
The Legislature did good piece
of work in electing Senator Griffith,
of Lexington, Superintendent of the
Penitentiary. No better man could
have been chosen for the Office. He
will fill the Office with credit to the
State. He is a capable, staunch,
honest man and high-toned Chris
tian gentleman besides. No citizen
ought have cause to regret the elec-
tion of such men to Office. Col. Neal
has made an efficient officer and
leaves a good record. No fault can
be found with his management of
the penitentiary -Newberry Observ-
er.
* x CJl. Meals successor [Col.
Griffith, is gentleman we'll and fav-
orably known to the citizens of New
berry county; the fact is, Newberry
has some claim on him, as he first
saw the light of day within the
borders of our county, being born, it
is stated, near Helena. His election
gives general satisfaction defeated
politicians and wire pullers excepted).
He is not an untried man. In peace
and in war his State has called upon
him to fill responsible positions, and
he has never failed to faithfully and
ably discharge the duties devolving
upon him. Senator Griffith has been
tried and not found wanting. We
predict for him successful career as
Superintendent of the Penitentiary.
In selecting Lexingtonian, the Leg
islature has honored a county which
has always stood, even during the
times of Radical misrule, for white
supremacy.-Newberry Voice OF the
People.
Capt. D. J. Griffith, of Lewiedale,
S. G, the State Senator from Lex
ington county, is prominent Luth-
eran and a man highly respected.
Last week he was elected Superin-
tendent of the State penitentiary by
the South C.rolina Legislature. The
Office is a most responsible one, and
it adds to the high character Of Capt..
Griffith to record the fact that be
was elected on the first ballot over
several competitors. Lutheran Visi-
tor.
Capt. D. J Griffith, the new su-
perintendent of the Penitentiary, is
highly popular in his county, which
he has served as Clerk Of Court,
Treasurer, and State Senator. He
was captain in the Confederate
army, and is said to be most excel
lent business man.-Anderson Intel
ligencer.

TRUSTS PROFIT BOTH WAYS.

The champions or defenders of the
trnsts have invariably inSisted that
the producer Of raw material could
depend on obtaining higher returns
for his products in proportion as the
big combines received better pay for
their output, because the trust prin-
ciple would enable cheaper manu- :
featuring and justify the trusts in Off
ering moro for their raw material. AS
theory this is attractive. Practical.
ly it is without any confederation
The great corporations when once
they obtain control OF the mar.
ket, not only do not share their pros
perity with the consumer, but do not
allow the price of raw material to be
put up on them, and IL they raise the
wages in one direction, they close the
plants and throw men out OF employ
ment in another direction. Tho on.

FOOD IN FICTION.

In SCOTS stories there is hint of
picturesque splendor about the dinners
he describes. There are noble" meals
and much geniality and good fellow
ship.
Woman novelists, particularly Ouida,
rarely allow their heroes and heroines
to partake of a substantial meal, while
in the pages of the men writer's feasts
abound.
Disraeli does not descend to specify
meals, but has n way Of introducing
gorgeous banquets of unlimited
courses. Everything in Lothian" hap
pens at dinner parties, and "fat little
birds in aspic jelly" and ortolans usual
ly form part of the menu.
Compare Dickens and Thackeray.
Each is fond of feeding his characters,
but Thackeray tells Of the feasts With
an cricure0n touch, IN appreciation of
the delicacies of the table, while Dick
ems written meals are always hearty,
plain, boiled beef and green's and meat

NEBRASKA VS.. NEVADA.

During the campaign in Nebraska
Judge M. B. Reese, Republican can
didate Tor Supreme Judge, was asked
to make political speeches. In his
reply declining the invitation he gave
his views as follows:
ain my view, it would not only be
unseemly for candidate for such a
position to enter into partisan con-
test, and thus contribute to the ex-
element and contentious of a politi-
cal campaign, but such a course
would result In diminution of re.
spect for our highest judicial tribnn
al. To avoid such personal political
controversies has been the custom and
practice of candidates for the high
Office under consideration, with a few
exceptions. Such has been the ethics
OF the people, the bar and the bench
Of our whole country. No other
course has been, or would have been,
tolerated. There can be no doubt of
the correctness Of this rule and l
must decline to violate it. This rule
appeals to my Judgement, my sense
OF propriety and of right. 1t is my
firm purpose to adhere to it. Believ-
ing this course to be in accord with
your views and also with the views of
all the people OF Saunders county, I
am persuaded that my decination
would not be considered as exhibit.
ing any want Of respect for either you
or them. Under other circumstances
should be glad to accept your invi-
tation. Under existing circum-
stances l cannot
"Very truly aud cordially yours,
an. B. REESE"
The ethics of the people Of Nevada,
barring a few Silver party rooters,
are doubtless the same as the ethics
of the people Of Nebraska, but the
high moral tone Of Judge Reese finds
no counterpart in two of the MEN,
bers of the present Supreme Court of
Nevada. Judges Bonnifield and Mas
sey threw the ethics of their position
to the wind last fall and trailed the
ermine in the mire to bolster up the
falling fortunes of the Silver party.
When Judge REESE penned this SEN
tence, "Such has been the ethics of
the people, the bar and the bench of
our whole country he was probably
not aware OF the course pursued last
fall by Two Judges of the Supreme
Court Of Nevada, or he would doubt
less have excepted them. They we're
not even candidates before the peo-
pie and could not have the interest in
the campaign candidate would nat
urally have, yet they pushed aside
the honor and dignity Of their posi-
tons and engaged in partisan
struggle for spoils. Hence we say
that Judge Reese could not have
known Of their course last fall or he
would not have made the sweeping
assertion he did in the sentence
above ullokeI

DRY GOODS


NEW YORK, January 2S.-The weeks
record in dry goods has been a fairly sat
isfactory one. The movement in wooden
and worsted goods has been quickened by
the opening of several new and important
lines. Manufacturing clothiers, however.
are still slow buyers, although the Situa-
ton Is a good one in retail quarters, they
have so far deferred heavy buying. Much
the same is true of dress goods. though
some lines of staples a sold fairly well.
In staple cotton goods the weeks result
has been satisfactory. Brown goods for
American consumption have been in
steady demand.
Export goods have shown good results
Print cloths have been sold heavily enough
during the week to reduce the stock at
Fall River to a minimum. Extras are
quoted at CSC.
Bradstreet's.
Trade continues fair in most depart
ments of the Boston market for cottons,
with firm prices. Gray goods hold very
strong, and this is Strengthening finished
fabrics. Raw cotton has worked higher,
which also adds strength TO the situation.
Buyers have purchased quite freely dur
ing. the past two months, the johbing
movement having helped out business at
first hands. Printed fabrics are going
well. the strong price of the gray goods
up. Ginghams are in excellent shape and
the market firm, with liberal contracts
made ahead. Dress wooiens are quiet
with agents. but jobbers have had a bet
ter business of late. Mems wear woolens
are quiet. Some orders for heavy over
coatings for fall have been placed, but
spitingS are backward.
