OCTOPUS OVERTHROWN.
The COOsaw Case Decided For
Observation-Disclosures Tri- =.
umphant VindicatiOn

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The
U. S. Supreme Court to-day
affirmed the judgment of the
Circuit Court of the United States
for the District of South Carolina
in favor of the State of South Caro-
lima IN the suit against the Coosaw
Mining Compans.
This is a case of great;importance
to the State and involves its right
to control the phosphate rock and
phosphate beds in Coosaw River
which are exceedingly valu-
able.
The Coosaw Mining Company
claimed that in 1876 the Legis-
lature of South Corolina made a
contract comforting Oh it per-
pctual grant TO the exclusive
mining of all phosphate rock and
phosphate deposits in the. Coosaw
River,
The State eont"nded that by its
Act the Legislature had granted
the Coosaw Company exclusive
rights for only a limited period,
namely, until the expiration of
twenty-one years fixed in 1870,
when the Coosaw Company was
given the right (but not the
exclusive reght) to mine phos-
phate. This period expired in
1891.
Tie court to-da., in an opinion
by Justice Harlan, holds that the
Act of 1875 did not give the
Coosaw Compny a perpetual and
exclusive grant, but merely an
exclusive grant for the balance rf
the twenty-one years covered by
the original contract of 1870.

We consider ex-Gov. Sheppard
one of the best campaign speakers
in the South. He is without doubt
one of our ablest men and his
training in deliberative bodies has
made him one of the readiest and
most effective men in a personal
controversy we ever knew. He
will be hard man to handle on
the stump; and we differ with
many others in saying he is
properly placed at the head of the
ticket.
With Tillman and Sheppard in
the field, we predict the coming
campaign will truly be a
campaign of education, and we
sincerely pray it will be a
campaign of dignity and peace

IN NO MANS :.

Two shapes were walking on the strand
One starlit night in no mans land;
Two shapes that during earthly life
Gave hate for hate in deadly strife.
They met Swift forth their falchions few;
Each pinned the other through and through
Yet neither fell. Again they strOve
For astery, and madly drove
To righ, and left their falchions bright
Nor sound nor.cry profaned the night.
Through corselet. casque and visor, too,
AS through the air their swift blades few;
Until amazed, they stood aghast,
And on the sands their weapons cast.
Then laughed they both at mortal strife.
The passing dream Of earthly life.
And clasping each the others hand,
They wall; the shades Of no mans land.
