CAR TILLMAN.

What wonderful changes havecome
tn pass in the political world since
the good Ship Of State was first
launched and her sails spread TO
catch the most favorable breezes.
In the early days of this grand old
Republic a public office was a pub
lie trust and office holders wen,
nothing more nor less than servants
OF the people
Inch by inch have the politicians
encroached upon the peoples rights.
until to-day We are brought face TO
face with the fact that the old time
ideas have been completely reversed
and now the people are apparently
the servants of the ofticeholders.
OF course this rule does not hold
good in all eases. There are excep-
lions to all rules. but one cannot
help from seeing a very marked
change in our whole system OF pub
lie affairs.
The latest illustration Of the ia
grant abuse of public Office comes
from South Carolina and the centrrs
figure in the panorama ofusurpation
Is no less a parsonage than Senator
Benjamin II. Tillman. who but few
years ago was theleader, in the State
for the supremacy Of the rights OF
of the people.
OF course no one expects very
much from Ben" Tillman. There i,
very little in him; and no one with a
grain OF common sense ever expected
to get blood out of turnip or wa
ter from an empty jug. but the peo-
pie of the Palmetto State have n
perfect right to regard him as their
servant rather than a boss to when
they must bow and scrape.
Now there is trouble in Charleston
because the people of that city want
one man for State Senator while
Ben wants another and he is re-
ported to have made the following
disgusting speech TO them a few DAYS
ago.
Elect this man aud | will withdraw
my influence in Congress which hitherto
mas been eNerted in your behalf. The navy
yard have secured for you shall be al
lowed TO 90 uncompleted and disused.
the river and harbor appropriations
shail be forfeited; the artillery post shall
hpse until It shall be a. ii il never exist
ed The things you may wish in the fu.
ture you shall not secure. and whereas
have been your friend at the seat Of gov
eminent | shall henceiorth he your i'm.
Placabie enemy"
Now such language as this, coming
from n servant, is very disgustingand
should not be tolerated.
Ben Tillman in Washington bitter
ly opposes Imperialism but Ben Till
man in South Carolina is an imperi.
alist of the first water. In other
words he is a thoroughgoing hypo-
critic.
Charleston has a splendid opportu-
NIFTY for rebuking Tillman and if she
does 1t, the plaudits of all liberty low
ing people in this country will be
heaped upon her.
Indeed We are inclined to believe
that Charleston would get more from
Congress should she 90 it alone than
she may ever hope to get through
the influence of Tillman.
