Progress in South Carolina.
It is frequently the case that the
country is informed that the colored
voters of South Carolina are flocking to
the Democraticparty. Such statements
are usually made, says the non-partisan
Washington Post, when it becomes nec-
essary to explain some of the wonder-
ful political miracles that are perform-
ed in that State. The more recent news
from South Carolina seems to indicate
that the Afro-American rush for the
Democraticzinterior has become so vio-
lent that the managers of the dominant
party have found it necessary to adopt
some rather extraordinary means to
check it. In fact, the impression con-
veyed by the South Carolina Democ-
racy is that unless something is done to
keep a few of the colored brethren in
the Republican ranks there will not be
enough left for Federal office-holding
purposes.
At the meeting of the Democratic-
State Committee at Charleston on Sat-
urday the following rule was adopted‘
“ Every negro applying for member-
ship in a Democratic primary election
must produce the written statement of
ten reputable white men, who shall
swear that they know of their own
knowledge that the applicant voted for
Gen. Hampton, in 1876, and has voted
the Democratic ticket continuously
.since. This statement shall be placed
in the ballot box by the :managers and
returned with the poll list to the county
chairman. The managers of the prima-
ries must keep a separate list of the
marines of all negro voters and return it
‘with the poll list to the county chair-
man.” Heretofore the efforts of the
South Carolina Democrats have been
confined to originating devices by which
negro voters could be discouraged from
attending general elections. This latest
move is rather a refreshing diversion.
It is undoubtedly true that in several
of the Southein States the negro voters
have found it to their» advantage to af-
filiate with the Democratic party. But
in these States they are encouraged to
do this, and in many instances are given
positions of profit and honor. In South
Carolina. it is quite different. The ne-
gro of SOuthCarolina is abused if he
goes to the polls to .vote the Republi-
can ticket, and now he finds a barri-
cade in his" path when he decides to
join the Democracy. It is suchintoler-
once as displayed by the South Caroli-
na Democrats that has furnished fuel
to feed the flames of force-bill senti-
ment in the Northern States. It is un-
fortunate for the true friends of the
South that they are constantly called
.upon to shoulder such weights. It is
also a noticeable fact that the great
portion of this shortsighted political
conduct comes from the State of South
Carolina.
War and the Democratic Party.
' War with any Power, big or little,
means a national calamity, which Heav-
en grant may not come upon us. It is
the letting Of good blood, the loss of
valuable lives, the long sorrow of many
hearts, says the Sun.
But if in the course of events it be-
comes necessary to fight for the honor
of the flag and the safety of American
citizens the world over against outrage.
Violence, and murder, one thing is cer-
tain. The war that is declared and
prosecuted to a finish will be the affair
of the people of the United States of
America. and not the special enterprise
of any Administration or the political
business of any particular party.
This might as well be understood
now as later. At the first appearance
of an inter-national question involving
the loyalty of the citizen to his Govern-
ment and to his flag, every republican
and every democrat who is worthy of
his citizenship becomes an active mem-
ber of one and the same party—the
party of the United States.
Those Mugwumps and professed dem-
ocrats who are now suggesting, as di-
rectly as they date, that it would be a
political blunder for the democratic
H0118: of Representatives, and for dem-
ocrats outside of Congress, to extend
.0 Gen. Harrison’s Administration full
nd hearty support in the controversy
ith Chili, deserve’ to be taken out and
hot into an ash barrel, or at least to
'. ave their naturalization papers taken
.way from them. The past century
as produced nothing more contemp-
ible than their argument that if there
-hould be a war, the republican party
ould gain glory and advantage there-
a y, and that expediency therefore re-
luires of democrats an attitude towards
hili different from what it would nat-
Iu'ally be if a democrat now occupied
.e White House.
The national cause is the cause of
emocrats ; the national Government
: democratic in one of its most impor-
ant branches; the war, if war should
ome, would be managed by democrats
nd republicans, fought by democrats
nd republicans, and paid for bydemo-
. ate and republicans; and the only
rson who makes any mistake ‘in the
matter is he who so far misunderstands
the national sentiment as to undertake
to face it with the pea shooter of par-
tisanship.
Habor Appropriations.
The Bridgeport and Stamford dele-
gations will appear before the commit-
tee on rivers and harbors in Washing-
ton next week and press their claim for
appropriations.
Norwalk parties interested in our
harbor improvement have adopted the
plan urged in the columns of the GA-
ZETTE, more than twenty years ago, by
the late Charles F. Raymond. This
plan, substantially, is to cut a canal
through the salt meadows in as nearly
an air line as possible, from the Dan-
bury freight dock at the Borough, to
the railroad bridge, South Norwalk.
The proposition is both feasible and
sensible, but our Norwalk promotors of
it are likely to be left for another Con-
gress, for the reason that the essentia[
pre-requisite for obtaining government
appropriation, i 6 getting the U. S. en-
gineer’s report in favor thereof, was
overlooked- Westport is in the same
delinquency.

Masonic.
At the meeting of the Grand Lodge
held at Hartford Wednesday,the unfor-
tunate contention between St. John’s
Lodge, of Norwalk, and Old Well
Lodge, of South Norwalk, was quite
extensively ventilated. We give else-
where, the reported proceedings in
reference to the case, and now it is St.
John’s Lodge’s turn to make its state-
ment, for like every other case, there
are two sides to this question, and we
are assured that when told, the facts
will go very far towards justifying the
action of St. J ohn’sLodge.
Temperance Advocates.
Chief of Police John H. Gormley
and Officer Timothy J. Howard have
applied to the County Commissioners
for a license to sell intoxicating liquors
at No. 18 Main street. As there are
already five saloons on the east and one
on the west side of Main street between
Wall and Hoyt streets, a distance of
about a thousand feet, one would sup-
pose that there were already places
enough where liquors are sold on that
very saloon-crowded street.
Bad Roads.
The League of American Wheelmen
are engaged in a laudable work in their
crusade against bad roads. It is an un-
dertaking that concerns all who. use
public roads in any manner, whether
with bi or tricycles, carts, wagons, bug-
gies, carriages or other wheeled vehi-
cles .or are simply pedestrians. The
proposed collection of funds for the dis-
tribution of information on 'the subject
is, perhaps, the best way to begin the
crusade. . '

The Influenza.
Influenza or grip has carried ofi’ an
heir to the throne of England, and two
great cardinals of the Roman Catholic
church within a few hours. Death is
no respecter of persons, the young as
well as the old falling by his sickle.
This winter, grip is death’s prime min-
ister, or rather his chief headsman.
