WASTDTG TIKE. xvir. aiewan, 01 iNevaaa, nas in troduced in the Senate a bill for the free coinage of silver, and Mr. Bland has announced his intention of in troducing a free coinage bill in the House of Representatives. This might be expected from Mr. Stewart, for both of bis eyes are fixed on sil ver; that is bis platform, and he can and will affiliate politically with the men who agree with him on that, however they may differ from him on other things. Belonging to no party now be, can and will clasp hands with any man who believes in free coinage, no matter what else he may believe in. Mr. Stewart, once a stalwart Republican, is now a free lance in politics, and rather enjoys the dissensions in the Demo cratic party caused by the agitation of the silver question. Mr. Bland, however, is a Demo crat, always regarded as a rattling good one, and therefore .we cannot see what he has to gain for himself or for the party by a further agita tion of the coinage question in this Congress. If the coinage of the seigniorage is strangled by a Presi dential veto, what hope is there for a free coinage measure ? It it took a bard, and for some time an ap parently hopeless fight, to carry the seign'orage bill through the House and Senate where does he expect to get the votes to carry a free coinage bill through? There were Demo crats who voted for the seigniorage bill who would not vote for a free coinage bill. , As far as patting him selToa record goes, or forcing the President or others to put them selves on record that has already been done by the action upon the seigniorage bill, which shows that while there is a majority of Demo crats in both Houses of Congress in favor of silver coinage, limited or unlimited, there is no hope of ap proval from the President unless coupled, (under present conditions) with impossible provisos. The advo cates of silver coinage limited or un limited will never give the authority suggested to issue bonds while there is silver available for coinage, for that means the continued and indefinite discrimination against silver, the very thing that the silver men are fight m a. f T 1 f ing against. . "They may enter their - protest if they will against the action that the President has seen fit to take in vetoing the seigniorage bill, but ; any farther agitation of ' that ques tion in this Congress, v and' at this , time. Is not only a waste of time, but is obstructing and perhipf endanger. : Jng measures ol much ; more impor- ..-v?.- -a j - . - . ; , . . . ... -, . , i . ocf! than the coinage of tne;seigii inrace. which would add but little to the volume Of money ; in "circulation, hardly enough to make It worth a fight, if that was all ithe fight was f dr. ?::?5?'V3l:t::vi:P This silver fight will go on, it will go on before the people, and the 3s-: sues will be so clear cut that there will be no question . as to the - con struction of the platform, and: ; doubt as to the position of the! can didates who stand upon it. -The peo: pie of this country will never consent to the 1 continued - discrimination against silver and' they" will never consent to let theNortheast ;cerner of the Republic dictate our financial policies and say what shall or shall not be the money of the country. That is about the situation now; and has been, the situation for the past twenty-six years, with the exception of the interval during which the Bland act of 78 was in operation. V-; v If Jtbe silver men of . the -West would weaken the power oV the money combinations of the East they would favor any measure which would tend to break the monopoly they have m the money of the coun try, aod therefore they should join hands with the advocates of the re peal ot the bank tax, and thus open the way for the establishment of State banks in the South and the West, which would nottmly help to release the country from the grip Df the money monopolists, but would also hasten the free coinage of silver. There is not a new bank that would. be started which could not find" use for silver ' coin as a basis of circulation and a reserve, the aggregate so ased amounting to many millions of dollars. This would create a demand for silver which does not now exist, and never will, exist while the-present monetary system prevails and is the only one; the discrimina tion against it would cease, the price of bullion would go up and the parity between the white and the yellow metals' would be preserved without resorting to the debt-perpetuatmg, debt-increasing, interest-paying pol icy which has been suggested. ' The South and the West are run ning pretty close together on the sil ver question, and they should work together on the bank tax question, for the repeal of that will "do much to break up the Eastern monopoly of money than anything that has been suggested or is possible until the free and unlimited coinage of silver be comes an accomplished fact HD70R MEHTIOH. In his speech delivered in Colum bia, Tuesday, Governor Tillman gave his version of the recent col lision between the constabulary and the citizens of Darlington and of the causes that led up to it. I It seems, even from his statement, that the immediate cause was the search" of the houses of citizens for contraband liquor, search by armed men sent there by State authority and armed expressly, not simply with weapons of defence but some of them with Winchester rifles, weapons of war, From this it is evident that Governor Tillman anticipated trouble, trouble that might culminate in bloodshed, which it did. ' He anticipated it be cause he had had some correspon dence with the municipal authorities of Darlington some time ago! in which they resented his assumption of the right to dictate to them as to how they should govern that city. Possibly this may have something to do with sending that squad of con stables there armed as they were, and composed of apparently desperate men. : He claims the right of search under the Dispensary law, and calls God to witness that he will execute it, "with warrant if necessary." We do not know whether the Dispensary law authorizes the search of private houses or not, but presume from his statement that it does; but no search of a citizen's house should , be made Without warrant, for when that can be done no man knows when ' his home is safe from invasion : or his family from annoying persecution and insult by irresponsible and brutal men, for it is only a' low order of men who would accept such com mission and execute such offices, in the present state of feeling in South Carolina. The Dispensary law is bad enough from any point of view, but if it contains such a provision as this it is one of the worst features of it and one that would make it odious anywhere. Unfortunately this bad law has been left to the execution of a stubborn, rash man. who acts first and thinks afterwards, " whose iudg ment is warped by his resentments and who seems to be nnder the im pression that he has been especially chosen to fight the "oligarchy" and thus vindicate the rule of the ma jority. , The best way to make a bad law odious is to enforce it, but there are ways to enforce even bad laws without goading people to violent resistanceVnd desperation. But this headstrong, resentful Governor does not think so, and " hence i n a great measure the deplorable state i of affairs in thaUaction-torn State. .''

The report, however that the crop will be increased is false, and the matter has been based on the fact that an unusual amount ot commercial fertilizers have been sold to the farmers. This is due to the fact that the farmers put fertilizers under all their spring oats, which is a larger crop than common.
