1t occurs to us that the press of
South Carolina has devoted a suffi-
cient amount of space to the views
of our senior Senator on the dispen-
sary. 1t is all well enough to con-
tinue to advertise him when he is
advocating any measure that will
benefit and uplift the citizens of the
State; but when he persists in advo-
eating something that has debauched
and will continue to debauch the
people, it is the duty of the press to
ignore him after it has given him a
respectful hearing. Senator Tillman
is absolutely wrong in advocating
the dlspensary, but, to use his own
language, he is utterly reckless as TO
the consequences because he believes
the dispensary to be the best solu-
ton. Wise men some times change
their views on great public questions.
We hope Senator Tillman is wise

Russell Sage, who keeps money,

away, both declare that they enjoy
life; SO it seems that wealth can
make happiness either way. But
then these men are both philosophers,

Badly Lacerated Crew.

New York, September 2S.-A
badly lacerated crew arrived here
yesterday on the steamer Indramayo,
guarding a cargo of wild animals
from Chinese and japanese ports.
Six leopards and two big snakes
caused most of the injuries which
were inflicted by the animals during
an exciting voyage. Besides these
animals the Indramayo started out
with an elephant, six monkeys of a
large and savage species, and some
smaller animals. The leopards from
their cages succeeded in lacerating
the arms and the legs of six sailors,
who attempted to feed them on the
rolling, pitching ship. In the Red
sea, one of the snakes, which weighed
200 pounds and was 23 feet long,
escaped from his cage and crawled
out upon the deck about dawn.
During most of the forenoon the en-
tire crew fought and rolled about the
deck in struggle to get the snake
back into his cage. They finally
succeeded. -Four days ago the ele-
phant died from complications re-
sulting from sea sickness, and the
animals body was thrown overheard.
