The suggestion of the Kings Noun.
tain Oracle, to the effect that there
should be an effort to get the national
government to assume The responsi.
bility of caring for Kings Mountain
battle-ground, is very good one. The
idea of an ultimate movement in that
direction has been entertained in this
section for quite awhile, and has met
with favor whenever suggested; but it
must not be forgotten that the best
way for one to get government help, is
to show disposition to help himself.
If this community shows its practical
interest by liberal subscriptions, then
it is quite likely that the government
may be induced to take hold; but
under no circumstances is the govern
ment likely to show more interest than
the community.

FRANCE ASKED TO MEDIATE.-Mr'
Delcasse, the French minister of for.
eign affairs, last week, gave out his re-
ply to a request from the emperor OF
China that France act as mediator be-
tween China and the powers The con.
ditions stipulated by Mr.. Delcasse are
as follows:
First, that effcacious protection and
absolute freedom of communication
had been assured between the French
minister at Pekin and his colleagues OF
the diplomatic corps and their respec'
tive governments.
Second, when Prince Tuan and the
high functionaries responsible for the
actual events had been dismissed by
the government to await inevitable
punishment.
Third, when the authorities and
bodies of troops throughout the entire
empire shall have received an order to
cease hostilities against foreigners.
Fourth, when measures have been
taken for the rigorous repression of
the Boxers.
So long as these necessary guaran-
tees are not furnished, there is room
only for military action.

TULMAN AND THE PREACHERS.

Although as strong as it could be
expected to be under the circumstances,
Senator Tillman's explanation as to
why he holds the preachers to be in al
lance with the blind tigers is far from
satisfactory.
In the first place, in their relations
to the liquor question, the motives of
the preachers and the blind tigers are
so widely separated as to make the
idea of an alliance absolutely absurd.
The tigers are interested only for the
love of gain. The preachers are in
terested for love of their fellow men.
But between the tiger business and the
preachers there is absolutely nothing in
common. Senator Tillman surely
knows this.
Are the tigers and the preachers
really working to the same practical
end? Senator Tillman says they are.

MR.. G. G. FEATHERsToNE and Col
onel j. L. M. Irby were in Charleston
last Tuesday on business before the
United States court. They were inter
viewed by The News and Courier as
to the probable outcome of the guber-
race, and both expressed the
opinion that the race is between Hoyt
and McSweeney, with the chances in
favor of Hoyt. When asked if the
election of Hoyt would mean much of
a victory for prohibition, Mr.. Feather
ston replied: "Not such a great one
unless the legislative body is in favor of
prohibition. This I hardly think will
be the case. However, we are trying
to elect prohibition representatives
from all of the counties. All that Hoyt
can do is to enforce the dispensary
law, so as to make it almost prohibi-
tory law"

We assert that there is not the slight

But few of the tigers of this section
have any political or social influence.
Not one out of dozen is able to vote
or to Influence the vote of anybody else.
1t is a well-known fact that there is as
much or more tiger business in Char
lesion, Columbia and other dispensary
towns, than there is in towns where
there are no dispensares. The reason
is plain. The tiger business can be
conducted in dispensary town with
much more safety than in a town
where there is no dispensary. The
competition does not count for much.
By closing at night, the dispensary dr.
vides time with the tigers, and the IT,
gers are able to buy their supplies
from the dispensaries and still sell
them at profit. These are facts un-
disputed and undisputable.
When the dispensary was first es-
tablished in Charleston. Columbia,
Greenville and other towns, the prin-
cipal opposition came from the bar.
keepers. 1t is not that way now.
Most of the bsrkeepers, along with
many others, have since drifted into the
tiger business, and relieved of the Ii.
cense tax, in most instances they find
tigering more profitable than saloon
ing. We believe that a poll of the
tigers of the state today would show
an immense majority in favor of the
dispensary. We believe also that if
the tigers were able, they would have
a dispensary in every non-dispensary
town in the state.
No, the preachers are certainly not
in alliance with the tigers. The SYM
pathy between the tigers and the dis
pensary is much stronger than it is be.
tween the tigers and the preachers.
The preachers are working against
both tiger and dispensary; but not all
of the dispensary law. If they win,
they'll wipe out the dispensary and ap-
ply the balance of the law against
their alleged allies, the tigers.

Be u Big One.

l.
Be Big One.
There are dispatches and dispatches
from China; but still no satisfactory
information as to the attitude of the
Chinese government, or as to the fate
of the ministers in Pekin.
Most of the European governments
are satisfied that their ministers are
dead and that belief is also strong in
Washington. 1t has also dawned upon
the world generally that although Chi
ma may have not yet seen fit to notify
the powers that she is fighting, that is
what she is really doing as energeti-
cally as she knows how. Not only
this, she is making every arrangement
to mobilize her army and conduct oper-
ations on a still larger scale.
All the international powers, includ-
ing the United States, are making
every possible effort to put their armies
in shape for operations in China on a
large scale; but the recently prevail.
ent idea to the effect that there would
be an early advance on Pekin is now
completely dissipated. The powers
have not yet been able to agree upon
plan of operations, or a command
ing officer, and there seems to be no
early probability of such an agree.
ment.
Consul General Goodnow, at Shang-
hal, has maintained from the first that
the American government should ex-
pect only the worst from Pekin, and
that it has no right to expect anything
else. He holds also that the uprising
is rapidly spreading into southern
China, and considers himself in much
danger.

THE CHINESE SITUATION.
Mostly Matters of Design Rather Than

Na,p Vorly Cnr "Wednesday

Mostly Matters of Design Rather Than
Accident.
New York Sun, Wednesday.
The admirably clear and concise de-
spatches of The Sun correspondent at
Tien Tsin, convey very good idea of
the obstacles opposed by the season to
operations in that part of the country
through which an advance to Pekin
would have to be made. In fact it
would almost look as though the crisis
had been precipitated for the purpose
of profting by the difficulties caused
by the rains. The capital is now sur
rounded, as it were, by a great natural
moat, with practically only two avail
able routes open to it from the south
west along which the allied forces can
advance, and as the experience of the
fighting around Tien Tsin and beyond
has shown, to do so, except in great
force, would be to court almost certain
disaster. At the same time, every
days delay is adding to the Chinese
power of resistance which, though an
impenetrable veil hides all their doings
from the outside world, it may be as
sumed is now more formidable than
could have been suspected a month or
two ago. The procrastination display
ed in making the powers acquainted
with the condition of the foreign en-
voys is part of the general policy of
delay clearly being pursued for mill
tary reasons, and it is becoming in
creasingly difficult to believe that the
Chinese are depending entirely on
their own counsel for the course they
are pursuing. The curtain may not
be lifted as soon as is desired but
when it is the situation will present
many unexpected features if the re-
ports from more thSh one of the Eu-
ropean capitals are to be trusted. All
appears to depend on whether the
war party, represented by those desir-

work and ceremonies in connection
with the removal of said remains be

objection to the proposition, we are, of
course, not to be understood as desiring
to cary it out arbitrarily. We recog-

more appropriate suggestion or any
legal objection that might arise.
