Columbia, S. C, State. Chicago, III. Democrats of the 4th Senatorial district are indignant over the discovery that Charles A Spring, whom they have nominated for the House of Representatives at Springfield, is none other than the notorious jailbird, Char -ley O'Brien, alias Frisco O'Brien, a no torious thief and burglar, whose mug adorns the rogue's gallery, and who has dene time in at least two penitentiaries. He belongs to a gang that infested, the West Side iu the seventies, and twelve years ago joined thirteen other toughs in an attempt to loot the Palace Hotel in San 'Francisco. T welve of these worthies did time out Wt st as a result of their mission to the Pacific coast. They gath ered later on at Portland, Oregon, and from that point came to Chicago ia 1880. In February of that year O'Brien wa3 implicated in a burglary here and was ppotograpned by the police bureau, where his picture, numbered 241, may still be seen. For some years he had been keeping a sec nd class saloon, and became prominent in Democratic poli tics. Spring was warned not to accept a nomination, but ambition got tne bet ter of prudence, and to-day a Democratic evenioif paper expose? his record. It is supposed he will resign from the ticket, "CAN'T EUCHRE CHICAGO. How Money Will be Made Out of the World's Fair Souvenir Coin. Washington, D. C Mr. H. A. Cron in, of Chicago, one of the stockholders of the World s Fair, who is here on a visit has been interviewed as follows in regard to the World's Fair souvenir half dollar, and how Chicago expects to make $5, 000,000 out of $2,500,000. "You see, in that $2,500,000 we will have 5.000,000 souvenir half dollars. Not one of these will sell for less than a dol lar, and we have made arrangements to control the whole issue, so that they will be virtually sold at auction. There is one man who offers $1,000 for the first one coined, and $999 for the succeeding 999. Another man offers the same amount for the last one issued. "Secretary Bryan of the World's Fair Commission has secured 5,000 of these coins which he is retailing at $1 a piece to stockholders in the exposition only Outsiders will have to bid fancy prices On the whole, I shouldn't be surprised if we realize $10,000,000 out of that little $2,500,000. 4,Oh, you can't euchre Chicago," said he, with a chuckle, adding as he winked his alternate optic, "and we'll have that fair open on Sunday, too mind my words." Sullivan Bids Corbett Beware of Jack son. A special from New Orleans says that when fill was over buluvan was taken to his dressing room and attended by Dr ( has. L. Seaman, who found him in a p ti ible condition, covered with blood and weeping at what he considered his disgrace. His nose had been split aud required three stitches, his face was swol leu and his lips were cut. Sullivan felt very badly. He turned to Charley John son and said: "I'm sorry about my friends losing th.ir monev.' 'Never mind," said Johuson, 'Til . put up $20,- 000 on you to morrow to fight Mitchell or any one else, barring Corbett. He seems to be a very clever young fellow." "Yes." said Sullivan, "He's cleverer than any fighter I ever met in my life. I let hirn hit me one or two body blows purposely with the idea of catchjng him as he lauded, but I could not touch him. Well, he has wn the championship and he had better keep it. My advice to him is that if he wants to keep it he had bet ter not meet the 'nigger' Jackson. If he ever does he will get licked." AFTEU THAT CHAMPIONSHIP BELT. Portland, Obe. The Pastime Club has raised $15,000 and will increase it to $25,000 for a match between Corbett and Jack&on. A CHINAMAN'S WEALTH. ITt v ii 1 1 T J. Ooes Home to Live Like a Kin g, Columbia, S. C. Very few who have noticed the unassuming life of, Sam Lee the Chinaman who has been running a laundry here for some time past, knew that he was, comparitively speaking, a wealthy man. Sam came to this country about a de cade ago and has been steadily working at his laundry trade in various citiej. He saved every cent that he could make and accumulated a little fortune. A few days ago he pulled up stakes here, sold out his business, and left the city to re turn to China. Nestling close in his in side pocket was a draft on New York for $8,000, and he carried in addition con siderable ready money. This has been Sam's whole aim in life. With $8,003 in China he will be able to gratify his every wish. A Housahold Divinity Next. Albany, N. Y. Senator D. B. Hill now becomes a permanent resident of Albany.

Following delegates to the National Alliance were elected : Harry Tracv, of Dallas; L. L Rhodes, of Van Zandt ; W. R. Cole, of Dallas. PRESIDENT LOUCKS' VIEWS. President H L. Loucks' advances some original andjentirely logical views as to the right of the national government to in terfere between Carnegie, Phipps & Co., and their employes at Homestead, Pa. He says: "It is the protective system of this government, as asserted and c-xer cised in its patent system and in its ar rangement of the incidence and - rate of tariff taxation, that gives it a right to intervene b?tween this firm and its work men in this instance. When Carnegie, Phipps & Co. accept the patent system of this country and its protective tariff for the goods the firm makes; when it come in under these patents and these protec tive tariffs, and gets the benefits of them, it becomes to that extent a ward of the government. It no longer depends upon its own, unaided cxeriious in a field of free competition, but becomes, instead, a ward or client of the government to the fuH extent that it accepts the pro tection and the benefits of the govern ment's patent and tariff laws. For that reason the government has a right to in terpose in the conduct and management 01 the business 01 tnis rum, and to pre scribe in its relations to its workmen. This is seen very clearly in the matter of the tariff. This firm came to the United States and asked is a favor, that the peo Ele of the United States should give it a ounty upon all the goo 3s that it make?. 'I want this bounty,' 6id the firm, 'to enable u3 to pay higher wages to the men we employ.' 'Very well,' replied the people of the United States, 'if that is what you want it for, we will agree to give you the bounty,' and the people of the Vjfited States accordingly did burden themselves with the payment of the bounty asked for. They did it iu the shape of a protective tariff on the pro due s of the firm. Therefore, now, if after the firm gets its bounty, and while it continuously is in receipt of its bounty, it, instead of advancing wages, cuts them down, and lock3 out tKe workmen be cause they refuse to accept the reduction, the people of the United S ates have a perftct right to step in and compel, not only the reinstatement of the workmen, but also to enforce such a distribution of the receipts of the firm for its products between the firm and its workmen as shall secure to the workmen that improve ment of wages that the bousty, at the re quest of the firm, was given for." NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS. David M. Furches, of Iredell, Nomi nated For Governor. Raleigh, N.

Up to the time of hi joining the Third party Col. Harris had alwayj been a Democrat. CHAMPION CORBETT- John L. Sullivan "The Big Fellow" Has Fallen. It Was a Battle of Science Against Strength and the "TerribleRight" Fails the Ex-Champion. Nfw Orleans, La. James Corbett is now the champion prize fighter of the world, having defeated John L. Sul i rnn in the 21st round, at the close of which L'orbctt had positively not a scra'ch on him and he stood smiling and bowing modestly while poor Sullivan was back in his chair the picture i f de spair. He recove ed and rose and Cor bett crossed quickly over and shook hauds with him. Sullivau tried to ad dress the crowd, very hoarse as he said: "Gentlemen, all that I have to say is that I have stayed once too long in the ring, and that I am glad that America has so good a champion." There was a great, wild aud "woolly West," Southern yell when Corbett knocked John L. Sullivan out, but that noise was not a marker to the wild mad house demons' rat on that the gang made wheu John L Sullivan said those manly 0rd3. Twenty-one rounds: Time one hour ar c 23 minutes. A Tickling Feast. At a recent Neuilly Fair, Paris, which this year has been of a more attractive character than ever and visited by many American residents and tourists, a new fad was introduced which, like the con fetti of Italian fame, gave rise to some serio-comic encounters. Peacock feathers were sold everywhere, and hundreds 0 people were - seen carrying them in bundles through the thoroughfares and over the sidewalks every day for tho purpose of tickling thT necks and the faces of the visitors. When the seller? attempted to transfer the sale and me of the peacock feathers to the boulevards of the city they promptly fell uader the ban of the police. The Parisian dudes tickling eich other's nose3 on the streets or in the BoU would undoubtedly have been a very edifying spectacle. New Orleans Picavune. m Sullivan to Have a Benefit. NiW Yobk, N. Y. Ithas not be.n yet decided whether Sullivan will h ve a benefit at Madis n Square Garden and probibly will not until the p rty returns North, Corbett announced that if a b nefit was held he would pay $1,000 for a box and wou'd appear and spar with the beneficiarv.

Coleman is full of Georgians. 'I le y II u-c d around mo there and I was told half of mv audience was from tho good old .'late. J h ' truth i, I don't bo j how wo hav.t ho iimhv peo -pie left in Georgia, for they are all over thw country. I found seven men on the train that I took for Brownwood seven from Muirtiv and Cobb and Whitfield counties -all go.ng to Coinancho to buy land. I a'n toll that, every train takes as many or morn from (ie'-t -gia. They all know me and I know sunns of thelf father. Georgians como t i the train to meet mo at every station. They want to say "howdy" aud welcome me to Tn.v. I was so gorry for old Ju le Mobley at, o:em in. who had just beard of the death of Im noliln son who taught school in our town of Carti n villo. Ho was a good son and one of the mo I ta'ented and exemplary young men that I vr knew of. His untimely death w.m a grenl li and it grieved me when I heard of it. 1 met, my venerable friend, Judo Yarhoro.it H, at Comancho. Ho was my father's friend and Ilm friend of my young manhood. After the War ho emigrated away out into this uns ! tied wi!d"i -uess to get away from the free negroes and here he baa lived until a railroad has come to hu town and now, in his eighty-foui th year ho be gins to realize that a lailr ad is not such a b id tiling after all, for aimed every day it brings t him somebody that h3 us.d to know and he m comforted. How tenderly ho innuirM of ev. ry visitor, "Are you from Georgia.' When I hit him in the evening.he prchscd my Laud and said, "Can't you come back in the morning be fore you take tho train ? It will do me po much good." Of course I went back. Hwgoolwifo ia still well preserved, and we talked loving!',' about Rome and her people, especially those who have crossed tbo river. Comanche latu that there is not a negro ia the county, except one just one who rum on tho railroad and in allowed to pass through, ne is a democrat, they said, and behaves hirmclf. I found an e l ucated negro over here by the name, of liaile-, who publishes a democratic newsp.iper. H" i from Rome, Ga., he said, aud he m ole afrp'-e.-h the otbor day at Graubury a Cleveland sp'eeh. I did not bear it, but they say he fpcaks well and handles the people's party without elnvn. lie is, however, working for revunie only and ho gets it from his white friends. Some of these immicrar.t get honn s'e'e very soon after they get here. '1 hey never t-siU a. journey before and it u ems like they have come so far they can never get b:k agu'n. It is 1 Ke burning the bridge behind them. One of the seven that I found on the train was lo kiriK very solemn at the immense unset tlx I phutu 'hat were swiftly 'passing by and nndgfd hiavuM- S anion with his elbow and csid: "Jim yo:i er'i a gully don't you want to see i t V" One thing that strikes all newcomers is the l.it,nm of the country the lonK distance to the ho rizon. A boy would hardly undertake t o to tbend of the rainbow bore to find the his n : bag of money. But the sky does ir-t h en any higher nor the moon any smaller, and 1 s-.e ti n big dipper everv night j ist as I did at horn -. Mel I ouppose that Texas is just as near to Jl a'-'n oa it is in Georgia, Indeed, it may b- in at er, for I have not seen bu one intoxicated m ti in the State, and he wan a Georgian.
