transit this enlightenment takes
place on the great questions
with a rapidity which party lead
ers themselves scarcely realize,
as so convincingly shown in the
recent battle of the ballots, in
which the party that had es-
poused the cause of monopolists
and trusts as against the inter-
ests of the people met such an
unexpected and overwhelming
defeat. But great as has been
the progress Of the world in re-
cent years, the future will witt
ness grander triumphs. Every
material advance will sooner or
later bring its moral equivalent.
The more perfect and rapid the
interchange of thought and
sympathy between the nations
of the world the greater will be
the advance. Pessimists and
dotards should be relegated to
the rear. Hope and knowledge,
the energy and the will 'Eto
strive, to seek, and not to YIELD"
are the watch words of the fu-
ture.

South Carolina Must Work

The election of Irby to the
Senate from South Carolina is
the natural sequel of the elec.
tion of Tillman as Governor.
Irby is Tillman's lieutenant,
bearing to him somewhat the re.
lation that Riddleberger origi-
nally bore to.Mahone when that
schemer overturned Virginia.
He is an adventurous fellow,
with a record not unclouded,
and he has served Tillman well,
who made him Speaker of the
House and now made him Sem
at0r. ~
South Carolina has suffered a
terrible retribution for the poll
tical errors of the past, but her
humiliation is not yet aded.
The old leaders have not been
able to adapt themselves to the
new conditions, as they have
done in Georgia and Alabama,
and yet another shaking-up has
been necessary, that naturally
has brought much scum TO the
surface. .|.,.< #|
If Wade Hampton had been
a younger man, with greater
physical vigor, there is no doubt
that he could have wlthstood

the South Carolina people re-
spect and love him. But he has

ers as Wade Hampton and Sen.
ator Butler. After the election,
when it became definitely known
that the Tillmanites would have
control of every branch of the
State government, the talk Of
electing an Allianceman TO sue
ceed Senator Hempton was be-
gun. 1t met with considerable
opposition from those who had
been warm supporters of Gov.
Tillman, and the Governor him
self felt called upon to make an
elaborate explanation as to why
it would not be a breach of faith
to return Hampton. This has
been done, and it remains to be
seen what the people of South
Carolina will do to resent what
many belive to be a breach Of
faith. Senator Hampton will
retire after a long and honorable
public service. He has never
distinguished himself by going
outside his party lines to accom-
plish Legislation, but he has
done nothing to bring dishonor
on his name or tarnish the rep
utation of his State.
The President has approved
the act attaching the county of
Grayson, Texas, to the Eastern
judicial district of that State;
the act authorizing the construcr
tion of bridges across English
Bayou and Calcasieu River,

In southern archipelagos he
fought the bloody cannibal;
He'd skinned and tanned the
crocodile and found him
very tannable;
Not a word of fear he'd uttered
not a word and not a syll-
able.
When he killed the Bengal tiger
and he found him very kill
able.
He claimed his strength was
very great, for bears and
lions suitable;
He used to boot the grizzly bear
and found him very boot
able;
He claimed in killing monstrous
snakes that he was very
capable,
No boa constictor could escape,
for he was unacceptable.
Just then his wife came in and
said, rdthink itquite COM

If you'd come and tend the baby;

The way she took him by the

She pulled him out and led him
