There are some interesting side-lishts in
the Townsend-Tweed revelations. One of
them Is the statement that the Tilden mana
gers who were negotiating with them in
sisted upon something that should smudge
Governor Hoffman. That style of killing off
every other Democratic leader was part of
eAN AhNSh toSllIss
There is growing Republican opinion
that it would be good deal better to lose
Ohio than to surrender to the silver imitation
movement The sentiment expressed Is that
the party can afford defeat on account Of
such devotion to its principles, but cannot
afford even victory through the abandon
ment of them.
One of the noticeable things In connection
with this New York demonstration vas the
absence of the Democratic politicians who
have aspirations for presidential honors, and
the curtness of their apologies for failing to

There seems to be raspy sort of sensitive
ness in Iowa on the subject of Stanley
Matthews. The Burlington Ha,ckeye,
most amiable paper on nearly every other
subject, lets fly at Mr.. Matthews in this way
ut is rumored that parties in Washington,
in their kindness, are willing to furnish the
Republican State Convention lot of ready
made resolutions indorsing the Presidents
policy. We don't know that this is true, but
we do know that ii any such resolutions are
presented in the convention, they will be
kicked out, and the man who sends them
will receive rebuke that he will remember
for the balance of his life. 1t may do for the
powers that be in Washington to send a
commission into Southern State to trade
and dicker away the victory that was gained
at the cost Of life itself, but it will not do to
attempt to manage Iowa on the Stanley
Matthews plan, and if the attempt is made It
will receive the rebuke it deserves"

full as a graveyard.

SENATOR BEN HILL said in recent
speech in Georgia that "the future of this
South is going 10 be better, brighter, nobler
and higher as time goes on, and if we will be
wise, prudent, true and firm-cling to the
Union as it is-the day is not far distant
when you will be the controlling power in
this government, to the great good OF every
body in this Union" There is no doubt
that the wisest of the Southern politicians in
tend to control the country within the
Union. Their representation in Congress
has been so increased by tie emancipation
and enfranchisement of the slaves-that they
need but little aid from the North to give
them the full control. The State of Georgia
is about to frame a new constitution, because
the existing one recognized the supremacy of
the national government over the State and
denies the right of secession. Vagrant laws
have been enacted in some OF the Southern
States which establish system of peonage,
differing from slavery chiefly in that the
master is not bound to provide for the slave
in sickness and old age. In Texas the provls-
ions for education have been utterly re-
pudiated, and the intention is clearly mani
tested to keep the African race in such
ignorance and degradation as will effectively
prevent it from asserting the rights
guaranteed to it by the constitution. In all
the cotton and sugar and rice States, there
are evident indications of fixed determina-
tion to continue the aristocracy of caste and
color, and on this basis to make the South
"the controlling power in this government"

The Democrats of Abbevile, South Caro-
lima, held a meeting recently to consider how
political peace could be secured, and the
chairman advised the appointment OF COM
mittee to report plan for attaining the de-
sired end as soon as possible. The Abbe-
vile Press, with clear understanding OF the
subject, says that "as long as white man is
allowed to stir up strife there will be conten-
tion and dissatisfaction. Whenever they
retire their pretensions,' we will have peace.
Will they do so peaceably or do they intend
TO force violence? Violence is sure to follow
whenever they malign the whites and at
tempt to ALLEVIATE the negroes from us. When
ever a head of this sort shows itself, it will be
service to ones country to cut it off. Since
the death of Jo. Crews, in Laurens, there has
been no trouble in that county, and there
would be none here either if it were not for
lew fomentors of strife; and if they do not
desist hereafter they will be dealt severely
with" This is the situation in nutshell.
The Republicans must retire their preten-
sions and let politics alone, or become Demo-
Gratis and then the country will be as peace
full as a GRAVEYARD.

The Investigations of Republican Irregular
tiles in South Carolina are bringing to light
facts that Democrats will not like to see. A
clerk of the Legis latufe charges that the
ablest Democratic paper. the Charleston
Ne,os and Courier. accepted all the disburse-
ments for printing which were offered it.
This journal does not deny the charge, but
to show that it was not the only Democratic
journal accepting plunder for printing,
publishes list of thirty-one papers which
received $4,000 in 1872 for printing the
laws, of which eighteen were Democratic,
and another list of twenty.eight papers
which received $4S,O96 in 1928, of which
twenty.one were Democratic,

ONE of the most interesting events of the
war in dramatic sense has been the defence
of the Duga Pass, by the Montenegrins
against the Turks. Montenegro is little
mountain principality about one-thrd as
large as the state of Rhode Island whose gen.
eral contour is like that of the body of an
hour-glass. At the eastern side of the middle
OF the territory stand the two Turkish for
tresses of Spuss and Nicsics, barely fifteen
miles apart, which grasp Montenegro between
them. The fortress of Spuss is readily
reached by an easy road flom Albania, but
Nicsics is approached through the narrow
Duga Pass, which affords the brave Monte
negrin many points of defence. Through
this detile, made famous by the achievements
OF the brave mountaineers, the Turks have
been trying to force their way toward Mic
sizes in order to strengthen their two fortresses
and liberate the bulk of their forces in Mon
tenegro and send them to reinforce their
army on the Danube. The heroic black
mountaineers have resisted the most deter
mined advance of the Turks and inflicted
uPou tutu SItdt lOSS. luo ITOFlueHCe oOW-
nal says that ''the defence of the Duga Pass
is likely to take its place with those pictur-
esque battles of history, which retain their
memories long after those in which much
larger number of troops were engaged were
forgotten. There was nothing so dramatic
in the late war between Germany and Aus
tria and Germany and France, and even the
charge of the six hundred at Balaclava was
trifie in comparison with such desperate and
long continued fighting. The Turks showed
that the determined spirit of the race had in
no way degenerated, and there is no exploit
in their military career since Amurath
splashed his bloody hand against the walls of
st. Sophia when they have shown more in
vincibe courage and energy" The success
ful defenders of their mountain homes will
naturally have the sympathy of the world,
and their names will live in history as those
of another Switzerland.
