A LeCrcy to Charleston.

The bequest Of the late John Thomson
to the city of Charleston of residuary
estate, which ii is estimated will amount
to sum exceeding 800, 900 and possibly
twice as much, has naturally caused a
good deal of talk around town, and the
talk in most instances resolves itself into
the question, What shall we do with
it?' 1t is no secret that Mr.. Thomson at
one time intended to leave a handsome
legacy to the museum of the College of
Charleston-in fact, will was made to
that effect-but it seems that the pres
ent will was made subsequently to that.
The money IS given to the city absolute
ly, which gives every citizen and tax
payer right at least to express an opin-
ion as to what the city council should do
with it.-Charleston News.

Because He Is "A jew,

However viewed, the refusal of the
Union League club to admit Theodore
Seligman to memberships reprehensible,
unmanly and un-American. How the
well fed and Well satisfied gentlemen
who lounge in the stuffed chairs of the
Fifth avenue palace expect the Republic
an party to become popular and keep
in touch with the people when the Union
League club, tae representative organiza-
ton of the country, deliberately and
unitedly rejec-s as a member a well rec
commended young man of signal abili-
ties, clean life, and the son of so eminent
a philanthropist as Jesse Seligman, is
beyond comprehension.
The only reason for the rejection. when
facts are sifted, is because of his religion.
1t is an unfortunate occurrence. 1t was
neither cosmor olitan, republican, Ameri-
can nor Christian. The Union League
club has made a 1nistake.-New York

The French In Siam.

If it were not that the elections were
coming on in France and that no French
ministry dare ask for heavy grant of
money and 5000 troops for a Tonquinese
expedition, we should think the situa-
ton very serious indeed. Siam might
be struck to the ground in six weeks
The French do not, it is true, do this
kind of work as well as we do, for their
conscripts die like flies, and their col
ored troops are liable to panics, but there
is no solid strength whatever to support
the Siamese throne. There is an army,
but it will not beat even if it will face
French regulars. 1t has been organized
in imitation of European plans, which
means that it has lost its national
strength WITHOUT gaining strength from
science, and it has no tested leaders to
whom it is devoted. 1t will be beaten
we may be sure if the hour of conflict
arrives and the war is really waged with
France, and of popular insurrection
there is but slender hope. The court
of Siam once beaten will submit, as the
court of Hue did, and thenceforward
everything will go on sHoothly, with a
French resident as syirtual king of Siam.

Converting the Jews In England.

During last year no less a sum than
G36,4S7 was subscribed in the country
by infatuated el thusiasts toward the
Utopian object of converting the Jews
to Christianity. The annual report
states that 12 converted" Jews
were confirmed during the year, of
whom, however, only five We're adults.

Never was the logic of the tri-
umphqnt side Of a dispute so
completely upset than that OF
those who desired the Worlds
Fair to be opened on Sunday.
They won their contention, but
Sunday opening did not pay.
The numbers in attendance have
shown a marked decrease each
succeeding Sunday, and the vic
tory which the Sunday-closing
people failed to win in the courts
has been won by the forcible logic
of the dollar. The local dircC-
tory has decided that hereafter
the Fair shall be closed on Sun,
day. The expenses swallowed
the receipts and it is saving OF
money to keep the gates shut
The victory tor Sunday closing Is
won, but in manner utterly un
expected to its advocates. The
masses of the toilers,' whose
rabid desire to attend on "th'
only day they could use without
the loss Of wages they could no
spare" to quote the argument o
Sunday openers, unexpectedly re
fused to go when the gates wer
opened, and the conversion of tn
managers is caused by the fac
that there was no money in

ISLAND POND. TT. JULY 2S, 1898
STOP CROAKLNG.

The Sherman silver law and the
tariff question is not altogether
the cause of the present depres-
sion in business. The continual
croaking on the part of the mer-
chants and working men is un-
doubtedly the prime cause. From
personal observation we know OF
merchants who are continually
CRYING dull times, while their bust
ness is as good as it everhas been
at this season of the year, and by
their croaking and obtaining all
the money they can and refusing
to pay it out thereby reducing the
local circulation, they make the
situation worse than it otherwise
would be. And so 1t is with the
mechanic and laborer. They have
no cause to complain, Few, II
any, are out of employment who
desire to work, in fact i'll Island
Pond and immediate vicinity 1t
has been almost impossible to
find help enough for haying and
other Outsidc work, vet when VIC
call upon the mechanics and la,
borers to settle theirTeWspapeI
accounts, they, too, cry haro
times, while we know they receive
their usual pay either weekly OF
monthly. This class Of men, as
well as, the merchants, are sowing
the seed that will grow, anC
eventually, (in the words OF Pres
ident Cleveland, used in his recent
proclamation) "cdusc great loss
and damage to our people, ant
threaten to cripple our merchants
and stop the wheels Of manufac
ture, bring distress and privatiol
to our farmers, and withhold
from working men the wages o
labor" 1t is true that the whole
sale dealers and manufacturer
are feeling the depression in tn
money market, chiefly on accoun
of the silver question, but mos
of them can stand it for time
the retail dealer insists upon get
ting pay from the consumers
who arc at work, and pay thei
own bills when they become due
If all would do this the cry c
hard times will soon cease an,
the much talked of panic will b
averted.

Silver is one of our products,

mined in the United States in

the value of the product was less
than one-clcventh of the value OF
the corn crop $500, OO0,0 00);
and coal, cotton, wheat, eggs
and pig iron all outrankcd silver
very considerably. There arc
thousands of iron miners out OF
work today because the price OF
iron is SO low that the mines can
not be run prohtably. Why may
they not as justly ask Congress
for aid as the fewer silver miners

The Strange. Eventful History of Maa
Who Loved His Country BETTER
Than Himself-His Life
In Turin.

Louis Kossuth, the eminent Hunga-
being spent in voluntary exile at Turin,
has appealed with his pen on more than
one occasion in behalf Of his country
and people.
Louis Kossuth will always challenge
the admiration OF the youth of this
country as a patriot of the highest
stamp He was born of noble parent
age at Monok, Hungary, April 81. 1902.
and received legal and philosophical
education as the college of Patak. an
institution animated thoroughly by a
spirit of opposition to the rule of Aus
tris- Hungary was oppressed and ex-
hausted by q tariff calculated to keep it
forever in a state of colonial depend
ence on the German provinces. which,
by another tariff, were protected
against the competition Of England,
France and Belgium This system
formed one of the chief grievances of
the nation. and Koseuth gained his first
prominence as leader by forming a
protective union, the members of which
pledged themselves for five years TO use
exclusively homemade goods wherever
they could be had. This agitation so
affected tho elections in 1S47 that Kos
suth was elected to the house of depu-
ties March 9, 1S4s, Kossuth delivered
a speech before the Hungarian diet at
Presburg, proposing an address to EN-
peror Ferdinand urging the restoration
of Hungary to its former independence
as state and the granting of charter
of liberty for the whole Austrian en-
pire. The proposition was accepted by
the deputies. and an independent Hun
garian ministry was formed, with Kos
suth in charge of the department of
finance. An interneoine struggle pre-
cipitated the war of revolution. It was
from beginning to end a struggle for
life or death under inauspicious circum-
stances. The overwhelming power of
Russia and tho connivance of the gov
ernments of Europe with Russia finally
decided agains. Hungary, which had
been declared independents and Kossuth

powers to Gorgey. who treacherous-
