pensary has been issued to the people
Of South Carolina and is remarkable
document. 1t is written in his usual
characteristic style, and is full of
warning and threat rather than of
good, sane counsel to the people Of
the State. He dvells at length upon
the dispensary situation, its corrup.
tion and crookedness, but does not
present any definite plan for purify
ing it. The call to the dispensary
forces to band together against the
common enemy is about the only tangi-
BILE and coherent feature Of the lengthy
address. In one paragraph he says:

for what they were worth, and am

LONG MARCH GIVEN
GERMAN TROOPS.

LIEGNITZ, Prussia, Sept. 1.-THE
military maneuvers were continued to-
day. Emperor William and his guests
rose this morning at 3 o'clock. They
had breakfast on a special train and
arrived in the neighborhood of the Ter
ran. where the maneuvers We're being
held, at 4:30. After gallep through
the darkness of the early morning they
reached the scene.
Several hundred pieces of artillery
already were in action. shelling the
reds at a distance of from $500 to 1000
yards No reds were visible, but. along
the horizon the observers could see the
flashes of their guns in reply. Thirty
thousand blue infantrymen, who had
been matching since l o'clock in the
morning, began deploying on the wide
stretch of meadow and wheat fields ly-
ing below the blue batteries. This force
debouched in seven columns.
Companies and battalions, availing
themselves of fences, depressions In the
rolling country, road embankments and
other natural or artificial cover, adj
yanced against the ridges sparkling
with the fire of their invisible adver-
saries AS the blues advanced the reds
retired, and their cavalry was theo-
retically captured. The roads for miles
behind it's positions We're crowded with
the end of an hours fire and pursuit
the umpires called halt.
Emperor William called attention to
the fact that the blue infantry seemed
to be greatly distressed as result OF
the prolonged march. The eleventh di-
vision covered twenty-four miles in
full field equipment, which means that
each man carried ffty-hve pounds ex-
elusive of ammunition.
His Majesty personally inspected sew
eral battalions and talked with the
men.
Instead of remaining with the impe-
rial party the American officers rode
widely over the field, observing for
themselves at first hand the appearance
and conduct of all arms OF service. In
company with the other foreign visit
ors. the Americans dined with the En-
press tonight at Breslau castle. EN-
peror William bivouacked in the field.

of private corporations. The practice
of private corporations going to the
tidewaters of streams and appropriat-
ing the waters, as is now done in many
instances, will, it is said, be condemned.
1t is the general opinion that a shot
will also be fired at Mayor Schmltz and
the Board of Supervisors of San fran
cisco by declaration condemning me
giving away of streets for railroad pur-
poses without adequate return.
1t is further stated that the platform
builders will recommend that the State
Board of Equalization, the State Board
of Railroad Commissioners and all SIM
liar bodies be abolished as being prac-
tically useless, it being asserted that
as they are amenable to dominating
political influences they have failed to
perform any real public service. In
their place one non-partisan commits
sion to deal with all public and quasi
public institutions will be recon-
mended.
In concluding this remarkable instru-
ment the Democrats will herald Wi
liam Jennings Bryan as the genius des-
tined to lead a suffering nation out Of
the wilderness of political corruptIon
His views on all public questions will
be indorsed.
