WORK OF IMMIGRATION.
Home-seekers' Tickets for Sale in
Western States for Passage 10
South Carolina Points.

Columbia, Sept. 1S.-Through the
efforts of Commissioner Watson the
Passenger Association at Chicago has
announced special home-seekers' rates
for the South, in which this State is
interested. A home-seekers' day has
been appointed for Fair week, and Mr..
Watson has succeeded in having the
cheap tickets put on sale at a time
that all who desire to come to this
State may do so during the Fair. He
received today an official notification
OF the rates and the dates upon which
tickets will be sold. These tickets
will be on sale October II and Noyen-
Der Is, the first date being for the
special benefit of the Fair.
The tickets will be good or4ffteen
days coming, and, after destination is
reached, twenty-one days are allowed
to return. The rate will be 80 per
cent. Of the standard rate one way for
the round trip from Cincinnati.
Louisville, Evansville, Cairo and St.
Louis. The Sopthern's Chicago and
ST. Louis agents, as well as Coast
Line officials, will cooperate with the
commissioner in the distribution of 2
special circular, to be issued relaiye
to South Carolina. Mr.. Watson ex-
poets also to advertise in large nun
ber of papers in the Northwest the ad-
vantages of the State, and will con
tinue the advertisements until the
home-seekers' tickets are placed on,
sale. By this method the States of
Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin
will be thoroughly covered.
Already the commissioner has re-
ceived about twenty inquiries from
that section of the country, and it is
likely that he will meet all who in
tend to visit the Fair at Cincinnati or
some other Ohio River point, and ac-
company them here, afterwards tax
ing them to any other part of the
State they may desire to visit. He
will have a list of available farm lands
for sale, so that any visitor may know
exactly what lands he can buy and
what they will cost.
Eight Scotch agriculturists are ex-
pected to arrive this week and others
are on the Way.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. l9.-Wetler
Cox and Pasquele Feritto died this
morning from injuries received by an
explosion of bomb last night. They
were members OF crowd that was par
ticipating in a Italian celebration and
feast of St. Jicamo. It is not known
who exploded the bomb. Some of the
Italians declare it was exploded in an
attempt to kill the members OF al
Italian band that was furnishiag

A rigid investigation is being made.

FALL RIVER STRIKE CONTINUES.
Contest Between Capital and La
Dor No Nearer an End Than
When it Commenced.

Fall River, Mass, Sept. 1S.-The
peaceful but determined contest be-
tween s37, 600, 900 of invested mill cap
ital and $4,000 mill laborers, which
began in this city eight weeks ago. is
apparently no nearer a settlement
than at it's very outset last July. Both
sides remain firm, the mill owners
claiming that it is impossible to re-
sumo operations unless the 12 10 per
cent reduction is made in wages,
while the operatives are just as deter
mined against working under such
conditions.
With winter not far distant the un-
ions already have begun to husband
their resources for the drain which
must be more severe than during the
summer months.
The exodus of foreign operatives
naturally has been large. and lately
many of the skilled help have joined
the outgoing army, seeking other
fields for their labor. Of the for
eigners, the Portuguese have left in
large numbers, very few remaining in
the city.
Within the last few days there nas
been persistent rumor of a resUmp-
tion on Oct. 8, but Friday the weayers
decided to hold a mass meeting on
that day, which apparently shows the
report to be without foundation. as
far as the operat YES are concerned

TO the general regulations VI law Fc-
specting payments of such class or
character.
Such an Act imposes specific obi
CATION upon all officers having duties
to perform necessary for the making
of such payment, under the general
laws relating to that subject, upon the
familiar principle that a Legislative
mandate implies the requisite means
of it's performance, if in the general
compass Of the powers of the officers
by whom the mandate ought to be
executed" Mclaughlin VS.. County
Commissioners, S. c., page 3777.
So it seems that wherever it is made
the duty of,the County Commissioners
to pay a claim, ard they have the
power to do so, and the same has been
fixed by law, they bave no right to
withhold payment.
Outside of the allegation that the
amount has not been fixed by law, the
respondents laid great stress upon the
fact that this claim cannot be paid
without doiog great injustice to the
claim due to Kershaw county. ker-
shaw county was not proper party to
tHlS pfOC0cOlUS, dNO GIG AootJO1AoCAt@
did not so contend. The only proper
parties to a proceeding OF this kind,
are the parties claiming to be interest
ed in the performance of the duty and
the party upon whom the duty is i'm
nosed by law. The State Ex. Rel,
Scott ys Smith; Z S. c., page 275.
But it is contended by the respond
ents as before stated, that this claim
even if properly audited, which they
deny, cannot be paid until the Ker-
shaw County claim be fixed.
The language used in Mclaughlin
vs.. County Commissioners is all an
swer to this position. In that case,
the Court said:
"All they claim i'll their return is
that they are not iound to do any
thing but to sit and await the result
of a suit at law" ano ruled adversely
to that contention. Here they con
tend that they must await the tin
when Kershaw county shall take steps
to have the amount due to that county
fixed by law, and, as respondents say,
by the commission.

ted that there was sufficient funds on
| hand to pay the same, the Writ oug ht
| to issue.
| It was contended on the other hand
that there had been no proper ascer-
tainment of the amount due from Lee
county to Sumter county, in that the
commission had no authority to dele
gate the settlement Of any matter to
any other tribunal, and that the conn
ty superintendeuts of education and
the county supervisors could not fix
and adjust any amount which would
be binding on the respondents, as it
was the duty of the commission itself
to fix these amounts, and besides, it
was further contended that it was the
duty of the commission to adjust and
apportion all of the matters between
| the four counties and not between
each county separately, and that un-
til this was done there was no bind
ing Judgment on the part of the COM
mission which would affect the re-
spoudents.
Unless there is a plain ministerial
duty to be performed, with the power
| to perform such duty, aud unless
there be no remedy at law for the re-
lators, the respondents cannot be COM
PEELED to act In some cases, such
as suits for damages against the coun-
ty, suit can be brought directly in the
Court of Common Pleas, and in case
of ordinary claims against the county
the parties having the claims must
submit them to the county commits
sioners for their approval or rejection,
with the right to appeal in case of re-
fusal to approve.
In the matter now at issue, the
claims and rights of the several coun-
ties were not to be ascertained by any
one OF these methods, but a special
commission was appointed for the
purpose of adjusting all the matters
between the several counties, ana
while the Act speaks of adjusting the
claims between the tonr counties, yet

received 1t and paid for ii. was doubtless q
surprise 10 the general public. though good
many persons have been expecting for some
time that the transaction would come to light
before the end OF the campaign. 1t is easy
enough to explain why Judge Parkers name
never mentioned in the course of the
legal proceedings last winter, when the law
yers on each side, with professional indigna-
ton at the loquacity of the opposing coun-
sci. were giving out for publication more news
than the papers had room to print. A pracd-
toner at the bar Is naturally reluctant to ex-
asperate an occupant of the bench before whom
it may soon become his duty to represent the
interests Of client So Judge Parker escaped
for time, and might have escaped altogether
if his own importunate indecencies had not
almost irresistibly invited the disclosure which
now makes him shudder.
AS we said yesterday morning, Judge Par
ker may have reasoned that it was nobody
else's business If he chose TO put his money
into a speculation in the hope of quick ana
large returns, though we are sure there are
many judges whom no prospect or gain coulu
tempt to invest in enterprise with which
they might at any time be called on 10 deal
in their judicial capacity. But Judge Parkers
freedom from scruples by which others would
have been bound is, after all, less contempt
BILE than his subsequent hypocrisy in posing as
the valiant and immaculate foe Of the trusts,
the leader of a heroic crusade TO destroy the
corrupt and corrupting objects of his abhor-
renee Was Judge Parker SO sore over the
loss Of his money and doubtful of getting
any part of it back, even with the aid of the
opinion which he rendered in an analogous
case, that he was actuated not merely by the
foul hope Of political advantage. but by per-
sonal rancor, to make his yenomOus attack on
the Presidents integrity?
Whatever the proportions i'll which these mo-
lives of expediency and revenge may be dis
cerned in his conduct. Judge Parker stands
exposed as an impOStor. caught in the act Of
denounCing the trusts with trust certificates
in his pocket and no longer concealed by his
judicial robe.
