stalwart organs have been seeking to con-
meet Senator Gordon, Of Georgia. with the
knowledge of Fan attempt to corrupt the
Republican electors in South Carolina, and
have paraded his name in connection with the
famous cipher dispatches. The Senator very
thoroughly disposes of the charge in recent
"explanation." He says that the only money
transaction with which he had anything to do
in South Carolina was this: That after it was
ascertained that Gov. Hampton was certainly
elected, and it was ascertained that In certain
districts the elections were held by the Re-
pubicans In open violation of law, twas de-
cided by the Democratic leaders to make a
test case before the Supreme Court in regard
to the legality of those elections and their
effect upon the presidential ticket, and to en-
ploy the best accessible counsel possible
which was done, the Democratic managers at
New York agreeing to furnish the money to
pay costs Of suit. He joined several South
Carolina gentlemen in signing q note for
$4,000 to pay these lawyers fees. The note
was discounted, the New York party failed to
send the money, and the South Carolinians
paid the note. Senator Gordon is certain that
the only communication he could have re-
ceived in cipher was in reference to this $4,000
note

The decline of Socialism and Communism
In France is in conspicuous contrast with it's
sudden increase and spread in other coun-
tries, Germany, Russia and the United
States in particular The French police
raided social congress which met in Paris
the other day without permission Of the
authorities, and found only thirty~eight per-
sons present, although this congress had been
largely advertised throughout the country.
Indeed, the Communists of France seem to
have almost entirely disappeared and dis
banded, the small amount of money now re-
ceived by the French Communists and Social
lists coming almost wholly from Germany.
But, while Socialism has declined In France
the parent and author Of this disease, it has
acquired new strength and power In Ger
many and Russia. This happy result for
France is, it Is claimed, due to the establish
ment of the republic and popular government
In that country, while the Nihlism and So
cialism of Russia and Germany can
be easily traced to the almost despotic
powers Of their Emperors. The slight
show of Socialism in the United States Is
also largely due to the misrule and centraliza-
tion of the Republican party, as well as to
the immigration here Of the Communists Of
Europe, driven from home by the proseeu-
tiOns Of their governments.

The Chicago Tribune has out Heroded the
Inter- Ocean in it's bloody shirt war It over
does the business, however, q little, and occa-
sionally spols its case by using too bloody
and violent headlines" The so-caled South
Carolina tissue paper frauds are called "out-
rages," and made to do the same duty as the
wild stories Of negro slaughters in former
campaigns. Even that little affair over In St.
Mary Is made out as grand outrage, being
headed, In glowing lines, the ISL. Mary Mas
sncre." What we want to know is, where
the massacre; comes in? There was only one
man killed, and heSwas Democrat. Does
the Tribune m can that 1t was q massacre of
Democrats? Not a Republican or negro was
killed, wounded, or even hurt in the affair,
the worst that was done to any member Of
the Republican party being to scare him. We
mildly submit to the Tribune that the word
massacre is too severe and strong an express
sion for simply soaring man; it Is, to say
the least, a slight exaggeration.

Gen. Hawley, of Connecticut, Is the victim
of his own good luck and popularity. He is
the most prominent candidate for United
States Senator from that State, and would
assuredly be elected to that office but for one
unfortunate circumstance-his recent election
to Congress. The district In which he was
elected Is strongly Democratic, but such
was Hawley's popularity that he ran ahead
of his ticket and carried the district by a good
majority. II Hawley is sent to the Senate, a
new election will be necessary in this district:
it will then be carried by the Democrats, and
the Republicans will lose, not only a Con-
gresham, but a State, in case the election Of
President is thrown into the House, as the
election Of a Democratic Congressman in
this district would evenly divide the vote Of
Connecticut. Hawley's popularity, therefore,
while it sends him to Congress for two years,
prevents his going to the Senate for six.

The attempt upon the life of Count An
drassy seems to be a part of widespread
plot to exterminate the rulers of Europe, be-
ginning with the efforts to assassinate the
Emperor William, and followed by the
attempts upon the lives of Kings Alfonso
and Humbert The conspirators may create
uneasiness in the minds Of individual rulers,
but their murderous purposes and the means
adopted to carry them into effect will have
no force In the extinction Of monarchy. On
the contrary, they can only result in the
adoption of repressive measures from which
fhe masses will suffer The cause Of liberty
cannot be fostered by the bludgeon or the
knife of the assassin.

What is the name Of the Welsh bark Tor

must bother every person who reads the tele-
