SYMPOSIUM ON ANARCHY.
Views Of Public Men Concerning Its
determination.

Senator Caffery of louisiana think
it wise and expedient to prosecute an
archists and prevent others from enter

ton laws ought to be so amended as to
exclude them: but such an amendment
should be carefully worded.
Congressman Tawney, of Minnesota
7 favor the enactment of federal law
for the determination of all existing
societies of anarchists and prohibiting
the organization of such societies in
any form or under any name in the fu-
ture.
Congressman Sibley. of Pennsylvania
Il certainly favor legislation forbidding
the entrance of anarchists to our coun-
try, and further. shall favor legislation
deporting such as are aliens and the
punishment as traitors of those who
plot for the overthrow of our govern
ment.
Governor Gambler, of Georgia. ia
vor such legislation. both state and fed

MIDDLE OF THE RIVER.
Floating Blind Tiger Annoys Colum-
bin COnHtables.

D1a COnHtaDleb.
Last Saturday, Chief Constable Bate
man ran across an entirely new species
of the genus blind tiger; but up to to-
day he has not succeeded in bagging
the animal though he is still on the
hunt of it.
A man by the name Of Snowman,
some time since, rugged up house boat
on the Congaree. 1t is a fiat boat
with a house built on it. that structure
being much in the shape of box car,
which probably it was. The proprietor
has 1t divided into rooms, one being a
sleeping apartment, which answers the
purpose also of q kitchen and dining
room. The other is used to entertain
guests. There Is table and glasses
and a refrigerator, and when the con-
stable got a view of it there were in
numberable empty beer bottles, some
empty whisky bottles, old corks and
corkscrews lying promiscuously around.
There was every evidence that the h1at
was used for whisky selling purposes,
though the constable found nothing to
confirm this view except the empty bot
ties. If there was whisky or beer
aboard when the constable was about,
it was quickly hidden, being probably
anchored in the river.
Constable Bateman did not have an
easy time getting on board of the craft.
He states that the boat Is anchored
near the government dam, and when
he went to board the boat the employ
ees delayed him and gave the proprie-
tor plenty OIL time to dispose of any IL
Iicit stock he might have on hand. On
reaching the boat the proprietor in
formed the constable that things did
look suspicious" but nothing was
wrong. He stated that he lived on the
boat because it was cheaper than liv-
ing uptown, and that he had fixed up
the boat to rent to the fishing parties,
charging them 81 for the privilege.
"Of course" the proprietor continued.
..if the ladies and gentlemen come down
here and bring beer and whisky to
drink, 1 can't help it. It's none Of my
business. 1 simply rent the boat
The constable took this statement
with several large grains of salt and
left, determined to keep a watch. Once
or twice the boat came to the Richland
shore; but as soon as the presence or
constables was made known, the craft
was pulled out to the middle Of the riv-
er. and, as the constables have no boat

WHY HE OPPOSES TILLMAN.
Josh Ashley Rises to Give an Ex.
planatiOn of His Course.

Editor Anderson Daily Mall
AS you have heretofore been very
fair to me, I wish to trouble you for a
little space in your paper to make plain
the facts concerning the question asked
by w. H. Garfield, addressed to Colonel
Johnstone on the stump at Anderson at
the recent meeting. AS many of the
papers have reported this and reported
that Mr.. Garfield is my son-in-law,
wish to state the facts as they are.
Col. Johnstone was criticising Senator
McLaurin for his change Of views on
the silver question. Mr.. Garfield then
asked Colonel Johnstone had not seve-
raj other good men changed their views
on the silver question, including Sena-
tor Tillman." This question was not
answered by Col. Johnstone. Instead,
Colonel Johnstone was sarcastic and at
tempted to subject his questioner to
ridicule.' I think the reason for this
was the scarcity Of argument. I did
not know that Mr.. Garfield intended
questioning Colonel tombstone. II l
had known I would have asked him not
to do so. 1t seems that some have
thought this an attempt on my part to
strike an unseen blow at Senator Till
man. To dissipate any idea Of this
kind, wish to state plain and frankly
that I oppose Senator Tillman utterly
because Of his political methods. and
his disposition to interfere in any and
all Of the peoples elections. I believe
such methods are dangerous to the lib
erty Of the people and to the prosper
ity Of the state. I believe in the sover-
eign will Of the people. This Senator
Tillman does not want. He does want
to dictate. to the whole people.
JOSHUA w. ASHLEY.

P. 81 hope that all those papers
which have been so ready to publish the
other report will be as ready to copy

HAWAIIAN SUPERSTITION.
Widespread Belief That the Royal
Family Had Supernatural Powers.

Fam1iy HAD supernatural Powers.
THAT the former royal family of Ha-
wall had supernatural powers Is still
firmly believed by very large number
Of the natives of those islands," said
Chief examiner Cerven, of the civil
service commission. when Commits
sioner Rodenberg and myself visited
the city Of Hilo, while we were on the
islands recently, we were told the story
by Princess Emma Of the Hawaiian
royalty Of the rescue Of that city from
destruction by a volcano. The story
was told us b. the judge Of the city
and vouched for by half a dozen Ameri-
cans who claims to know personally.
1.-THE volcano which was doing the
damage is some 80 miles from the city.
1t began active operations, and the
stream Of lava which flowed from it
started straight for the city Of Hilo,
covering an area about half mile wide.
The flow of lava was slow, as It gained
only small distance each day. 1t pre-
sented solid wall OF redhot stone six
or eight feet high, and remains to cor
roborate the story.
"As the lava approached the city the
natives became much alarmed and were
on the verge Of panic, when message
came from Princess Emma. She said
that when there was any danger Of the
destruction Of the city by the lava, If
she was informed Of the same, she
would come to Hilo and stop the flow.
This message was just in time. The
Of the city, and the princess was sent
for in great haste. She came at once,
bringing a live white dove, a sucking
pig, and bottle of native rum. The
populace Of the city all followed her as
she proceeded to the edge Of the lava.
When there she ordered the pig killed,
and dipping up its blood with her fin
gers she sprinkled it's drops on the lava,
repeating the while some strange lingo.
The death of the dove followed, and its
blood was likewise sprinkled on the
flowing stone. Last came the rum, and
this was poured as a sacrifice to the
mystic power.
'The story ends here, for the lava
never flowed another foot. The city Of
Hilo was saved, and Princess Emma,
likewise all Of the royal blood, can to
this day WELD all-powerful sway with
the natives Of Hawaii.-Washingto

BEGGARS IN SAN JUAN.
Porto Rico's Custom of Distributing
Aims Every Saturday.

Saturday is beggars' day in San Juan.
For that matter every day Is beggars'
day to a greater or less extent; but
on Saturday all the beggars from far
and near journey to the capital, there
to collect their weekly toll from their
more prosperous brethren.
San Juan is never free from beggars,
as there are rounders to whom beg
ging is a profession. Saturday. how
ever, it is safe to say that fully one
fifth of the people met upon the streets,
are indigents seeking aims. The halt
and the blind, old men and women and
little children, all types are represented.
each with hands outstretched, and 1t is
no uncommon thing to hear from the
lips of the children probably the only
English words they know:
America, give me one cent?"
Every merchant in San Juan has his
own particular clientele. On the sew
enth day, each merchant sets aside a
certain amount, which he has previous
ly changed into one cents, and to each
one of his clients Is given one cent.
Some Of the larger or more prosperous
merchants give to every one who ap-
plies.
One merchant takes his weekly allow
ance for charity, changes it into cents
which Is hung near the entrance to the
store. Each beggar comes and takes
his or her one cent, and no more, and
goes away.
Some Of the deformities which are
exhibited for the purpose Of creating
public sympathy are disgusting and
offensive. The worst cases are gener-
ally dragged about in little carts by
big healthy poems. The blind map,
with haversack slung over his should
er to hold the scraps that may fall to
his lot, Is led from door to door at the
end Of short stick. guided by stout
wretch who should be earning his liv-
ing in the sugar fields. Thus the Grip
pied members of a family support the
healthy members.
Many and loud are the blessings be-
slowed upon the giver, louder are the
curses rained upon the person who
withholds his cent. If a more aggres-
sive, Independent and yet abject spec
linen Of poverty exists than the Porto
Rican beggar, it would be hard to con-
vince an American Of this fact, after

INDIAN NAMES.

The attention Of official purists who
are endeavoring to preserve in their
original melody the Indian names Of
this country is directed to the name
Chewelah, town IN Stevens county
Washington. Rev. Gushing Eells
the pioneer missionary who came t.
this state in 1888, and heard the word
from the Indian tongue more tan 80
years ago. always pronounced it Cha
we lab.
The same authority confirmed the
popular explanation of the origin of
the name Occur d'Alene. Literally it
is French for heart or awl." The
early French trappers found these In
dams cunning in trade and bestowed
name conveying that significance.
In early days the Spokane river be.
tween the lake and the Columbia was
known as the Occur d'Alene instead OF
the Spokane, the latter name being
then confined to the Little Spokane
In Astoria" Washington Irving i'm
parts the information that the Aston
posts were at Astoria, the mouth OF
the Okanogan, and the confluence OF
the Spokane and Pointed Heart rivers
that is, where the Little Spokane
runs into the Spokane. When AS
tor was driven out of this country, this
post fell into the hands of the British
and there the Hudson's Bay company
long maintained trading post.
The falls of the Spokane and the ad
jacent valley were a favorite resort
for the Indians in this section. They
gathered here in winter, because here
the snow first disappeared and offered
them grass for their gaunt ponies, and
in the spring and summer they found
fine fishing at the falls and at The
| mouth of Latah creek, which they call
ed the Sin-too-too-ooles.
The best thing about the American
Indian is his language. 1t is regu
lar in construction, governed by vel
defined laws, melodious and capable
of fine construction; not the coarse
patois of Chinook, which was made
to order for the practical affairs Of
barter, but the original languages
which have left their poetic trace.

spite of the prosaic efforts of our Pic
