gome of the Conservative papers
are proclaiming that those who
were Haskellites must not ask
front seats in the Democracy. The
"Haskellites" declare that they
merely wish to be regarded like
other democrats. That is their
clear right.
The ADvERTIsER was opposed
to Judge Haskell in 100 but it sup
ported Mr.. McIver for State Treas
urer last year as cordially as it
supported any nan on the Shop
pard ticket.
We believe that the Haskell
movement was q blunder but we
have never doubted that those who
participated in it were staunch
democrats. They are staunch dem
ocrats to-day. and there is nothing
in their politicaFfaith that will sus-
tain the charge of heresy when
they are tried by the standards of
the Chicago Convention. The
same cannot be said of others in
South Carolina, who vote for Cleve-
land and teach Tom wisconsin on
The street corners.
"Haskellism" IS a dead issue and
it should never be alluded to by
self respecting papers which desire
peace. I.
Democrats of the Gresham stamp
are good enough for us but we were
sighting MIN when we fought Has
kell. Yet, under like conditions, we
should be found fighting both men
as before.

The Bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Proceeding westward from the Irish
coast the ocean bed deepens very gradually
in fact, for the first 230 miles the gradient
is but six feet to the mile. In the next 20
miles, however, the fall is over 1900 feet,
and so precipitous is the sudden descent
that in many places depths of 200 to 1,6O0
fathoms are encountered in very close prox-
unity to the 100 fathoms line. With the
depth OF 1,S00 to 1900 fathoms, the sea bed
in this part of the Atlantic becomes a
slightly undulating plain, whose gradients
are so light that they show but little alter
alton of depth for 1900 miles. The extraor-
dinary fiatness of these submarine prairies
renders the familiar simile of the basin
rather inappropriate
The hollow of the Atlantic is not strictly
q basin whose depth increases regularly
toward the center. 1t is rat er saucer or
dishlike one, so even is the contour of its
bed. The greatest depth in the Atlantic
has been found some 100 miles to the north
ward of the island of St. Thomas, where
soundings of 3,S75 fathoms were obtained.
The seas round Great Britain can hardly
be regarded as forming part of the Atlantic
hollow. They are rather part of the plat
form banks of the European continent
which the ocean has overfowed.-

let the minnow drop, and supposed he

more to catch the pickerel. but had hardly

A Marriage In Cairo.

There was young girl married while 1
was in Cairo. The streets around the pal
ace of her father were hung with flags for
week. The garden about his house was
inclosed with tent, which was worth in
money $50, 900 and which was as beautiful
to the eye as the interior of mosque. For
a week the sheiks who rented the estates
OF the high contracting parties were fed at
their expense. For week men sang, and
bands played, and the whole neighborhood
feasted, and on the last night everybody
went to the wedding and drank coffee and
smoked cigarettes and listened to young
man singing Arabian love songs.
naturally did not see the bride. The
women who did see her described her as
very beautiful, barely 16 years old and
covered with pearls and diamonds. She
was weeping bitterly. Her mother, it ap-
peared, had arranged the match. did not
see her, but saw the bridegroom. He was
fat and stupid and over 60, and he had
white hair and a white beard. A priest re-
cited the Koran before him at the door of
the house, and a band played, and the peo-
pie cheered the khedive three times, and
then the crowd parted, and the bridegroom
was marched to the door which led to the
stairs, at the top of which the girl awaited
him. Two grinning eunuchs crouched on
this dark staircase with lamps held high
above their heads and closed the door be-
hind him.
His 16-year-old bride has him to herself
now-him and his eunuchs-until he or she
dies. We could show similitudes between
this wedding and some others in civilized
lands, but it is much too serious matter
to be cynical about.-Harper's Weekly.
