r The "verdict in tho state a
gaiust James Wilcox was mur
der in the .second degree, the
penalty for which is 30 years
iu the fctatc Prison. If Wil
- cox is guilty at all a hang
ing would have been more in
accordance with justice, Uit
lite will of the people must Lei
Rubim.Mve to the decision il
the twelve men.
Our legislators are doing a
vast amount of work if the
pacing of hill* counts. The
whickcy bills ore, perhaps,
- creating more interest than
any other. If there is one
thing needful in .our State 'tis
wise liquor legislation. The
saloons are a curse and tho peo
ple should have a voice in say
ing whether the curse shall
remain or not.
The shooting of Editor Gon
zales «of the Columbia State by
Lieut. Governor Tillman, of
South Carolina, is tho latest
act of the notorious Tillmana,
and justly deserves tho indig
nation of an outraged public.
The Tilhnans have disgraced
the noble State in which they
live. It is a matter of wonder
why the citizens do not rise in
their strength and cast these
defders out.
The noble Gonzales has last
ed death, brave to the last/TTi.V
murderer lies in jail and will
meet the punishment .due liiin,
ifSouth Carolinians d> their
full duty.
Below we copy«*tu article

' the Tillinan family leads to an

of rowdies and bullies.
Tillmanism has been a blight
upon this noble State from the

that the good people of the

' WASHINGTON LIiTTER.
(I'rorn our S;>ecial Correspondent. (
The Congress of the United States
ttas been agitated tais.week by the
coal i(tieslion. It has been coal,
coal, coal" in both the Mouse anil
the Senate ami the agitation cf t*>e
•|uestion has shown tip the false
pictense and hypocri y ol the re
publican party ami the sincerity of'
the democrats in t' cir endeavors to
do some'liing in the interest of the
people who are freezing to death I
all over the north while the anth
racite Coal barons are shoving up j
the price and reaping the harvest
of dollars. Ths agitation has re
, suited in the elimination oLjhe ta- j
rili of 67 cents a ton on anthracite
C- al, which the republicans said,
at the beginning of this session, '
should not be touched.
As I have previously said in this
nothing would!
ever b. 1 done by the republicans in j
the way of .1111T revision or reduc-J
tion until the demand by the people j
became so !otid that all might hear
and this prediction has been veri
fied by the results of this agitati n
on the coal question. F.arly in this
season a democrat, Mr. Cochran,of!
Missouri, went to the chairman of]
committee I>II Ways and Meansaml I
asked him if he would give him
a hearing for an argument on such
j a bill as has just passed the Con
gress. that is, th; repeal of the ta
I rill 011 anthracite coal provided he J
hwould tiling him a petitition from
1 aV majority of the members of the
I House, regardless of politics, and
was met .with the answer that
j ho would better bring with hint a
copy o! the Lord's prayer. In other
j words, he «as turn* d down ij tf and
C-ld and no of words and
no appeals irom a democratic
source K'oitld budge the re
publican chairman * ho had charge
of the late of the freezing people.
Then Senate, through Senator
Vest, o( Miisoyri. took up the mat
ter Bi d was pressing it koine to the
republican in such nt itiit r that
cam; a'gn of the protected interests
in Mr Aldtich.of Rhod
Island saw th.t soot thing had to
j lia done or he would lose control of
his rcputdcan cjltoit* iu the Senate
and give the democrats some good
campaign material by allowing a
I democratic measure for the relief of
j tUt ppop'.e to go luough the Sen
late Avht.b tl.e (Icuse could not af
( id> to turn d.wo. Il w uiied for
tima and sahk'itere trnuitl t>e some
thing doing in (his regard front a
repub'i an q tarter aod that
all measures affecting the revenues
ct the government should originate
iu ths ifojse, Sure enough the Sen
ate, playing t u .e of politics
while people freeze refused to Cjm\-
, hider the Vest neasurc and allowed
the House Committee on Ways and
Means to bring in a bill taking the
1 tajiXT off coal for the period of one!
' J Mr . U>us making, ostensibly, a
great show of interest for the wel
fare of the people. The bill passed
the House by a practically unani
mous vote, every democrat in the
House voting for it and the only
six votes sgainat tne measure were
from hide bound protect!olist re
publicans. The bill was immediate
ly rushed to the Senate and there it
met a snag, as the republicans had
beome alarme J and when it came
up it was amended so that the ta
riff on anthracite coal alone wis
completely eliminated without ref
erence to time, much to the aston
ishment and chagrin of the ultra
protectionists like Aldrich. It was
rushed back to the House and the
Senate amendment was concurred
in amfd the cher rs and jeers of the
democrats. They had compelled
the republicans to swallow a dose
of good democratic doctrine l»y
knocking one hole in the protective
tariff bill, and they had a yell com
ing to them. 'I his is the beginning
of the end.
The people h£ve compelled this
concession from the tariff barons
and it ha? been rung from them by
democratic contention and wl.cn
the people start on the democratic
road once they will not stop untd
they have gone farther than this.
Mark the prediction.

a
Another phase of this coal busi
ness has been the exposition of the
fake prom : ses cn the part of thi?
administration to deal wi h the
trust question. Loud and were
the promises made by the Presid nt
of the United States in the cam
paign last fall that the trusts must
be compelled and must obey tlie
law of the land. How have those
promises been kept? With the
exception of a cou;>le of bluffs
made at the beef trust and the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad mergrrs, net
one thing has been done an.l yet
the evidence of the existence «t
trusts have been tl-rust at the At
torney General of the L'nited States
only to be utterly ignored by that
trust controlled official.
At his own expense, Mr. William
j Randolph Hearst t e editor and
j proprietor the New Vork Ameiic.in,
! the Ch'cago American and the Sati
Fransisco Kxamincr through his
attorneys, gathered ampleevidence
of the existence of the anthracite
| coal trust and the combination of
j the coal roads of Pennsylvania to
convict them under the the Slicr-
I man antitrust law both civilly and
criminally,*- All litis evidence was
. placed in the hands of t e District
{ Attorney in New Vork and he was
{about to make a report of it to the
1 Alt iney General "cf the United
Stilts when he was told t > hold the
! matter in abeyance in New Vork
jand to tak'? no at.t.oll. It his been
111 his hands since the 50th day cf

any tiine the authorises here might
ask fur it Why lias it not been
called for Why has t'.e Altorney

CONTAINS.
According to the Sonoro Banner
of California, the following are the
. contents of a barrel of whiskey:
A barrel of headaches, of heartaches
of woes;
A barrel of corses, a barrel of blows;
A barrel of tears of a world-weary
wife;
A barrel of sorrow,a barrel of strife;
A barrel of all-unavailing regret;
A barrel of cares-and barrel of debt;
A barrel of hanger, of poison, of
pain;
A barrel of hopes ever blasted and
vain;
A barrel of falsehood, a barrel of
cries
That fall from the maniac's lips as
he dies;
A barrel of poverty, ruin, and
blight;
A barrel of terror that grows with
the night;
A barrel of crimes and a barrel of
groans;
A barrel of orphan's most pitiful
moans;
A barrel of serpents that hiss as
they pass
From the head of the liquor that
glows in the glass.
