The Governor and Two Senators.

Governor McSweeney, of South
Carolina, has made very judicious
disposition of the two senatorial
designations. 1t is evident that a
resignation coupled with conditions
is not one that he was required to
accept, and these two documents
have rather long strings attached
to them.
The two South Carolina senators
issued their designations last month
to take effect the middle of Novem-
Der with the avowed object of car
rying on an active campaign in the
interval, stirring up strife all sum-
mer and keeping the state in con-
dition of political turmoil.
The governor is of the opinion
that the people of his state are en-
titled to a rest from politics in an
off year, and declines to act as a
party to the scheme for political
turmoil. Neither Senators Tillman
or McLaurin have offered their re-
signations because they want to
vacate the senate, but because each
wants to force the other out of that
body. We believe the governor is
quite right in declining to help
them.
The Charleston exposition, too,
will commence just after the period
named by these senators ends, and
a political campaign would stir up

Waste In Public Expenditure.

In the last number of the Satur-
day Evening Post Ex-President
Cleveland discusses in an interest
| ing manner the subject of waste In
public expenditure. Hepoints out
the steady and rapid increase in the
cost of carrying on the government,
and shows that this increase is out
of all proportion to the increase in
the wealth and population of the
country. What most surprises him
is the seeming indifference of the
American people to the extrava-
gance of, the government. They
seem to find some satisfaction in
the fact that the appropriations of
congress are approaching a billion
dollars annually, since it affords an
opportunity to speak of the country
as a "billion dollar country"
Mr.. Cleveland calls attention to
the various ways in which the pub
lie money is being squandered He
speaks particularly of the appro-
priations for pensions, pointing out
how the generosity of the people in
providing for those who have be-
come incapacitated in the nations
service is abused in the interest of
designing politicians.
One reason why the people do
not insist upon greater economy in
public expenditures is that the
public revenues are raised in such
an indirect and stealthy manner
that they do not feel the burden of
and another is that there
is a feeling that the country is so
rich and prosperous that there is
no need to fear that the govern
ment will ever be In a position
where it will not be able to meet
its expenses. There seems to be a
feeling that there must be a certain
amount of waste and extravaganza
in public expenditures.
While it is true that our strength
is prodigious and our resources are
seemingly beyond the reach of mis-
fortune yet, the ex-president asks,
"where in reason or history do we
find a warrant of security against
the natural and unrelenting penal
ties of reckless waste and extrava-
gance?"

IT is not in the leas: likely that
the United States will agree to the
Russian proposition respecting the
Chinese indemnity, that all of the
powers unite in giving joint en-
dorsement or guaranty of China's
bonds. The United States have
less reason for guaranteeing the
bonds than any of the other pow
ers. Their indemnity claim is the
smallest of the great powers; be-
sides which their credit is the best.
United States 2 per cent. bonds are
at a premium, while Russian gov
ernment 4 per cent. bonds are be-
low par, and the bonds of other
European governments are less de-
sired by purchasers than those of
the United State; therefore, it
would be poor financial transac-
ton for the United States govern
ment to lend its good credit to an
endorsement with others whose
credit is not so high.

THE appointment of Mr.. Jones
as county commissioner for the
fourth district will be welcome
news to his numerous friends in
this county and state. There is
not a more competent person in
the county to fill the position, and
even his opponents will not deny
his ability or fitness forit. In say
ing this we are not rejecting in any
way upon the fitness or ability of
his opponent, Mr.. Klopp, but we
believe that it is right that the
younger blood of our county should
come forward and he recognized,
and in Mr.. Jones we have a young
man who is not only thoroughly
identified with the county, but who
has been reared from childhood's s
days within its bounds. Having
known him personally for so many
years we have no hesitancy in
vouching that he will be an able
and safe conservatOr and admin
istratOr of county affairs.
