Is IT NOT HUMILIATING?

The cringing loyalty, the subServienCy
of the Democratic party is past all &C
count. Its nominal leaders, big and
little, are cyphers important only by
their respective positions in the long
row ofnaughts which tail on to the figure
at the head Of their line. The figure is
the number one, the first nnmeral. the
only interger the whole digit, Grover
Cleveland. There is no conjecture as to
what congress will DO on the tariff ques-
ton. None whatever. Congress isn't in
it. The daily query among the CIPHER
statesmen is, what will the new tariff
bill, being compiled by Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Carlisle, be like? The Dem
ocratIc party hasn't the faintest idea
where it stands on the silver question,
and wont have until Grover Cleveland
has spoken. There is no guessing
or speculation as to whom the Demo
cratic house might desire for speaker,
but the whole party, in waiting, wonder
If Grover vii! name Crisp OF someone
else. This is not sarcasm, but the bald
truth; and the aforesaid cyphers appfe-
ciate its unimpeachableness more wildly
than the editor OF the EAGLE, who writes
it, not for the instruction of Repubi-
cans, but that the Democrats may not
nurse the delusion to their souls that
Republicans do not understand that the
party of Jefferson and Jackson has de-
generated into a mere flock, a political
herd, whose shepherd and driver is
Grover Cleveland.

ANOTHER marvel OF SCIENCE.

4 peculiar optical Illusion is said to
be the result produced by one OF the new
appliances OF the MacKaye spectatorium
at Chicago. This Illusion is produced
by what is termed a ''luxauleator,"
word newly coined by Mr. Mackave.
This word, luxauleator, is derived from
two Litin words which, literally trans
lated, mean curtain of light and this
very APPLY describes W hat the new in
vention is. By this new continuance it
is possible to shut the stage from view
of the audience without the use of a
curtain, door or any other apparent
veil This luxauleator consists of row
OF electric lamps around the four sides
OF the proscenium opening. Each lamp
is placed at the apex OF a conical shaped
reflector, which is turned base toward
the audience. The modus oper-
and Is very simple, the mere turning of
"A switch being ali that is necessary; the
same movement Of the switch that
throws the current of electricity into the
lamps of the luxauieator, also turns out
all the lights upon the stage aud the
effect produced is the same as if one
were sitting in brilliantly lighted room
and endeavored 10 look out into the
darkness. As the luxauleator works in
simultaneously, it is possible, in hetwink
ling of an eye, to exclude Il stage picture
from view and that, too. without dark
ening the audience portion OF the build
ing. The result is accomplished by rea-
son OF the fact that the eye does not
readily accustom itself to changed con-
dition of light and before it can become
accustomed the light is again turned off
and new picture or scene can be
brought into view.

a LITTLE LITTLE.

Although -four has never been so low
in Kansas as it is today, Attorney Gen
eral Little has evolved a scheme to con-
troll the mills. By the way the milling
industry is the largest in the state, there
being something like 400 mills. Three
fourths of the flour manufactured is sold
outside OF the state. Attorney Little
has mighty little to do when he attempts
to belittle and cripple the greatest indus
try in the state, and his. statement that
the mills are in a combine is ali bosh, for
if they are there is statute now regula-
ting combines.

PRESIDENT OF CLEMSON,

Prof. E. B. Craighead, of Wof-
ford College, has been elected
president of Clemson. The Co
1umbia State says of him:
The new president is said to be
exceeding by .bright, possessing a
good executive mind as we'll as
ability as an instructor. He was
born upon a farm in Missouri. He
dgreat ambition, and being a hard
student, fought the educational
Battle in the academic schools of
his native State and in Kentucky.
Then he went for three years to
Emory College in Virginia, where
he graduated. After some teach
ing in the public schools he be-
came professor in Vanderbilt
University in Tennessee. Shortly
afterwards he went to Europe and
remained three years studying in
the University of Paris and at
Leipsic. Upon his return to this
country he went to Vanderbilt
University, and was still there
when elected in 1890 to the chairs
of Greek and German in Wofford
College. Here he has been very
successful. He is now in the prime
of manhood, being only tbirty-four

BEAUFORT, June 26-While Mrs.
Leonard Phinizy of Augusta and
her little son were bathing in the
river directly in front of the Sea
Island Hotel, off Beaufort, satur-
day, they got beyond their depth
and would have been drowned, for
they had gone under the second
time, had not Miss Mamie Bacot,
a girl of 16 daughter, of G. Cutbert
Bacot, gone to their rescue. Mamie
had just commenced disrobing for
a bath when she heard Mrs.
Phinizy gasping for breath, With
out waiting for anything she
sprang into the river with her
clothes on and came very near
going under too, for her dress skirt,
which she had previouly un-
fastened, became entangled around
her feet and it was only by a
desperate effort that she got rid OF
it and swan out and rescued Mrs
Phinizy and her child.
1t was a noble act and Beaufor1
is very proud of Misr Mamie.

will cross the country to Bayou

AN ALARMING OUTLOOK.

The money stringency continues.
Nine national banks have failed
within the past few days, and the
advices from New York, according
to the associated press dispatches,
are, that s'twenty or more national
banks are expected to close their
doors within the next twenty days,
and every indication points to an
aggregate of failures during the
bank year, which will end Oct. 1st,
equal to the total number of fail
ures among national banks for the
past fifteen years."
