ticket prominent Massachusetts, Know
Nothing, and still they pretend to 'be the
friends Of the foreigner-the champions OF
equal rights. :,
The record is plain and easy to read. a
native citizen who votes the Radical party
ticket votes for continued .trickery, a new
lease of stealing, fresh term Of jobbery ana
wrong-doing. The adopted citizen who
votes that ticket sustains the calumniators
of his people, and votes squarely for re-
newal of sectarian agitation. Against the
conservative Republicans who, in this matter
of the city election, may act and vote hon
estly and conscientiously, we have not q
word to say. But the events of the past few
weeks, confirming the experience OF years,
prove that what may be known as the Pills
bury Party are STEPPED to the lips in Know
Nothingism and the spirit Of persecution,
and are, besides, TIE upholders of as venal
and impotent municipal government as
this country ever saw.

d,stanced earthquakes. The number and fire.
nuency of very violent storms this season is
actually alarming. They visit one locality,
sweep it as bare as desert, and only leave to
reappear Unexpectedly somewhere else. The
last visitation of this sort, any particulars OF
which have come to hand, occurred in Missou-
ri, Iowa and Minnesota. In the southern por-
ton Of its track, the storm took the form
rather of a vehement wind and rain; further
north the greatest damage was done by nall.
It was in this storm that the sad death
OF Mrs. Lowell, struck by lightning while
kneeling in prayer, occurred. An equally
distressing accident happened In Nemaha coun'
ty, where an old man named Westfal and MS
two daughters perished amid the ruins OF their
house. blown down by the gale. through
the region watered by the Missouri property
suffered immensely, buildings, fences anu
crops alike yielding to the destructive ele-
ments. In Minnesota, unless the accounts
given by the farmers are, as often happens,
exaggerated, the crops have been wellnigh
DESTROYED wherever the storm was felt. Hail
stones of enormous size fell in showers, and
cut down grain, corn, vegetables, shrubs and
even trees. Many hard-working farmers have
lost their crops by the hundred acres, and a
gloom seems to have settled, only temporarily
we trust, on the whole region.

Who is the Know-No,hing.


The Radical organ published in this city
twils the Charleston public with that ''cruel
.past before the war" when all the Repu6-
licans of South Carolina, with the exception
of the colored population, were ,masticatlng
goldfish on the classic shores Of New Eng
land. 1t charges that the Democrats, who
then had full sway, abused the Irish sin the
"most cruel way" and in 'the Kuow-Noth-
''ing persecution. of 1924 drove them
from the polls and 'smurdered one OF them
ssimply because he was an Irisbman." This
sort Of talk is o painful evidence OF the COM
plete ignorance OF eur virtuous contempo-
rary. When Know-Nothingism was sweep
ing like whirlwind over the Eastern States
it received it's first and final check in Vir-
ginia under the leadership of that noble old
Roman, Henry A. Wise. Only once did
Know-NothiDgism raise its head in Charles
ton, and then it met with defeat SO sudden
and crushing that it is remembered TO this
very day. And with what grace can the
Radical sheet denounce Know-NothinSism
when the man whom it supports for Mayor OF
Charleston, whom it praises for "honesty OF
..purpose and kiDdliness of aim," is de-
clared to have held prominent position
among the Know-Nothings OF Massachu.

The Two Tickets.

We place before our readers this morning
the names of the candidates for Aldermen
of Charleston, nominated last night by The
Citizens and Radical Conventions. The
people can now judge OF the merits OF the
opposing tickets. There are some highly
respectable men upon the Badical list,
who have not hitherto connected them
selves with the party; but they are too
pitifully few to have any controlling influence
over the deliberations OF Council. The Citi-
.zens' ticket, on the other hand, is wholly
composed Of persons who can be trusted to
thelast, most Of the candidates being men Oh
eminent position, large ability and trained
administrative skill.

vowipg and declaring that they desire to
heal up old wounds and to make this uni

they display, upon occasion, Puritan In

the Charleston Radicals, as Radicals, have
the wonderful impudence to ask for the Irish

The Friends Of the Workingman.

And in what sense can the Rff-Raff Know.
Nothing party claim to be the friends OF the
workingman?
The Aldermen and their relatives and
friends, as well as those Of the Mayor, con-
troll the city work and take the lions share
of.the profits. A poor laboring man who
drives a city cart draws his half-dolar a
day, and is kept on the brink OF starvation.
But for this days work the favored contractor
one Of 'the friends Of the workingman'-
receives three dollars. The sleek official
pays out just one-sixth of what he receives.
Fifty cents for the voter, and three dollars
for the ofice-holder. This is the way in
which the Rif-Raff Party support the
.brawny sons OF toll.
We ask the drivers Of the city carts
whether they could not live in comfort il
they received three dollars day, which is
what the city pays for their work? Could
they not dress their wives better? Could
they not send their children to school? Could
they not have an abundance Of food instead
of barely enough 10 keep body and soul to-
.gether?
Now the workingman is cheated out OF all
this sby the Rif-Raff officials. Perhaps it
will be said that'the work could be done for
less. That may be. All that We demand is
that what is paid by the city shall be the
fair measure of what is paid to the working.
man. At present a full price is given, and
of this price the pet of Council draws five
sixths and the laborer one-sixth. This Is
Radical friendship with vengeance.
