Mr.. TiIIman on the liouor Question

Mr.. TiIIman on the Liquor Question.
Mr.. August Kohn Of the News and
Courier, spent several days with Sen
ator Tillman at Trenton recently, and
as the result the News and Courier
has been printing a number of arti-
cles giving the senator's views on va
rious subjects. Ore Of these articles
is devoted especially to the discussion
Of the dispensary question, and in the
course Of 1t occurs the following:
In the opinion of Senator Tillman
1t Is utterly impra acticable and ill-ad-
vised to have county management of
dispensaries. He urges that the same
incentive that 1t IL suggested now ac-
tuates one board to making money out
Of the dispensary, would exist among
forty boards, and nat II there Is cor
ruption in one Ger tral board, 1t would
spread out among forty boards instead
Of one, II there was no change In the
method of purchasing and in the man
ner Of conducting the system. Senator
Tillman says that he does not for an
instant charge that there is this corrup-
ton or this mismanagement; but that
the system has to be raised above sus-
All this sounds very we'll on its face;
but as to how it works out in practice
is another question. We are not going
to say that those In control Of the CEN
tral establishment and in a position to
get graft, are .raking in tens Of thou
sands Of dollars Of illegitimate gains.
We can't prove this to a legal GER
tainty, and therefore we will say moth
ing Of the kind. We won't say either
that We believe there is lots Of graft
in the dispensary management. We
might be called upon for the proof, and
If you can't prove a case against an al
legged blind tiger who lives we'll with
out other visible means Of support, how
are we going to prove the existence of
graft in a case like this where we
cannot even get an honest legislative
investigation? But while we have not
asserted that graft exists and while
we have not asserted that we believe 1t
exists, we want it distinctly under
stood that we have not intimated that
we do not believe that the dispensary
system Is reeking in corruption. We
try to be careful not to make charges
that we are unable to prove; but at
the same time we would have 1t most
distinctly understood that we are not

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Now that the trolley idea is begin
ming to develop In this locality, we are
unable to suggest a more inviting
proposition than a line from Charlotte
to Lockhart by way Of Yorkville. Such
line would open up rich scope OF
country that Is now entirely without
railroad facilities, and there Is good
reason to think that 1t would payal-
most from the Jump. or course an
enterprise Of this kind would bring
about a readjustment of existing con-
ditions; but taken altogether the re-
suit would be for the common bene-
fit of. all who would be affected.
The Southern railway has just
issued an attractive pamphlet called
Hunting and Fishing in the South"
which willEbe found to be full Of in
Eterest and information for all de-
votees of gun and rod. In its con-
tents can be found in convenient
tabulated form descriptions Of the
best; localities in the different states
Of the south for game and fish. These
tables give the names and rates of
hotels per day at the points named,
the names Of responsible guides, the
kind Of game to be found, cost of
teams per, day, the names Of parties
who will furnish information and
whether or not the.land are posted.
1t contains also the game laws OF
Souttn4 CAROLINA and sother southern
states. On the front Of the cover ap-
pears a likeness Of President Cleve-
land in hunting attire with gun ready
for the festive duck and on the back
thereof is an even better likeness of
Joseph Jefferson clad in overalls and
wearing a broad brim hat, indulging
In his favorite pastime Of fishing.

Too EASY TO GET BAIL.-Why Is II
that in nine out Of ten homicide cases
In this state it Is made easy for the
defendant to obtain bail? That Is a
subject which we think should receive
the attention of earnest legislators; 1t
should, of course, be considered by
lawyers and judges who are In SYM
pathy with the popular demand for a
more strict observance Of law. 1t
seems to US that unless the slayer was
probably" in the right, the difficulty
of his getting freedom before trial
should be great; If the probability Is
against him, he should be kept in jail.
Men are granted ball, and ridiculously
small bail, when the evidence Of mur-
der is strong. In North Carolina on
Saturday bail for. the man who killed
another in an alteration was fixed at
$4,000. However poor the defendant
and however low in the social scale
his victim, no manslayer should be al
lowed bail in a practically nominal
sum unless the justification Of the de-
fendant Is so clear as to make the trial
mere formality.-Columbia State.

THE Democratic party will come
again all right. People who think the
party is dead are badly mistaken.
They do not keep UP with history.
The Republican defeat on the occa-
sion of Cleveland's second election was
far more overwhelming than the re-
cent Democratic defeat, and If the
Democrats had not run after strange
gods they would have had a long
lease Of power. The Republicans are
going to make the same mistake the
Democrats made and the Democrats
are coming in again with another
landslide, that is If they keep their
heads level.

existence, we also must be considered
as parties to the crime. BE not de-
ceiyed, God is not Knocked; for what
soever a man soweth that shall he also

Then in the alleged application Of
the profits Of the dispensary system
to the education Of our children there
is another deception. Willingly or un.
willingly we must educate our chill
dren from the proceeds Of this instru-
ment Of poverty, and tears, and blood.
and disgrace. and death to body and
soul. Do we deceive ourselves Into
believing that we. can get benefit from
such a source? "Can a man take IRE
into his bosom and his clothes not be
burnedT "Can man walk on Goals

This is impossible. and we, will ind

on money derived from such debauch-s
cry, distress and degradation, and
surely our children viii have to pay
the penalty. -. u. aiA 'a.,y ~
During the. course of his remarks
Mr.. Ewart showed very clearly that
the idea Of supporting the schools with
dispensary money was really decep-
ton and not fact. He showed that
practically all OF the dispensary prof
Its went to the support Of the police
courts. sessions courts. poor houses
and penal institutions; that taxes
were greater than they had ever been,
and all claims III defense of the states

lusions and snares. He is quite sure,
however, that unless the. people throw
of and crush out the terrible decep-
tons to which they have been made q
party, they win not escape any part Of

oottle to thy neIghbors lips and max

interesting play that is to be present
ed at the opera house next Friday
night by the best Of local talent. The
play has been in rehearsal for weeks
and all of the participants have beer
thoroughly drilled in their respective
parts. It is safe to say that purchas-
ers of tickets will get the full value OF
their money, and as the proceeds ars
to be donated to the Confederate mon

enterprise support. ... .,,...,..'. o..
-Yorkville still suffers from vagran-
cy. Most of the vagrants are negroes
boys and men. Many Of them are
strong, able bodied fellows who will
not do any kind Of steady work at any
price. They depend upon such tips as
they get for running errands or doing
small chores, but they do not hunt
employment even Of this kind. They
work only when they cannot reasona-
bly, dodge. Some Of them make their
living by gambling. II this class could
be suppressed 1t would be better for all
concerned.

INDEPENDENT VoTING.-For many
years it has been supposed that inde-
pendent voting was confined almost
entirely to the east, and that 1t was
more generally exercised in New York
than anywhere else. This was by no
means the case in the late election.
In the states, including all sections of
the land, an amount Of independent
action never before exhibited, and
never before equaled in a single state,
was displayed. The following table,
showing the votes for Roosevelt and
the votes on governors. shows this in
n very striking manner:
