Gen, Wade Hampton indicates his will
ingness to undertake a herculeau task
when he says he is prepared to endeavor
to save South Carolina from populism
The task is even greater than that which
confronted him in 1876 when he set out to
rescue his state from carpet baggers and
black politicians. For in the fight which
he now proposes he would have to face
strongly iutrenched native white leaders
who are astute and INSCRIPTIONS politi-
clans.
These leaders, as is well-known, are
Gov. Tillman, Senator Irby, Congressman
Talbert and Clerk of the Senate Sampson
Pope. They are the big four" of Till
manism in South Carolina, and each
stands squarely on the Ocala platform, !"
according to his own state
ment. This Ocala platform is.
in Gen. Hampton's opinion, moth
ing more nor less than the embodi-
ment of populism; hence his proposition
to fight Ocalaism is a proposition to fight
the big four"
Gen. Hampton, it may be remarked, is
cordially disliked and some of his Ieuten-
ants intensely mated by the four pOliti-
clans named, They would exhaust every
means at their command to defeat any
movement of which he was the head. A
campaign in which Hampton and Tilman
were the leaders would be one of extreme
bitterness.
But bitterness in South Carolina politics
has come to be regarded as matter of
course, hence there would be nothing
extraordinary about that. There is some
doubt that the power of the Tillmauites
could be brokeni in the next campaign If
there is a man in public life who could do
it, however, that man is Wade Hampton.
Should he go into the fight he would have
the good will of every true democrat and
every democratic paper in the country.
and their aid whenever they could give it
to him.

Eject of Populist Politics.

! The farmers of Kansas are now feeling
4 the full effect OF populist legislation in
/ that state. For the last few years the
/ populists have had control OF the state
and they have enacted laws intended to
favor the debtors and iniure the cred
itors. The result of such legislation is
now being seen. It is safe to say that the
great majority Of Kansas farms are
mortgaged. These mortgages are now be
coming due. and the owners Of the farms
have not the money with which to pay
them. The holders of the mortgages re
fuse to extend the time Of the payment
of them. They DO not believe their
money is safe in Kansas, and they
are determined to get 1t out of
the state as soon as they can.
The statement is made that they viii not
loan money in the state at any rate Of
interest. They are willing that the peo-
pie shall hold whatever political opinions
they please and give their support to the
political party they favor, but they dc not
propose to lose their money if they can
help it. They are afraid they win lose it
if the populists have the making and adj
ministcrng of the laws
A special dispatch says that an aver
age Of 200 mortgages are becoming due
every day, and the courts are having all
they can do to foreclose them. The farms
are, Of course, being sold alta great sacri-
fee because there are few buyers for
them.
II is not surprising that the holders Of
the mortgages will not consent TO renew
the mortgages. The laws that have been
enacted by the Kansas legislature are 50
inimical to creditors that they feel that
it would be taking too great a risk to
place money on farm property or any
other property in the state.
1t is a great pity, Of course that so
many of the farmers viii have to give up
the farms they have worked 50 long to
improve, but they have only themselves
to blame. They have permitted them
selves to be Led by demagoguos and
they must stand the consequences OF their
folly.
Had there not been 50 much hostility
shown to the creditor class the Kansas
farmers would now be able to borrow
money at reasonably low rates of interest.
They cannot, of course, blame the money
lenders for wanting their money nor for
refusing 10 loan any more money in Kan
sas, because the money lenders ore en-
titled to what belongs to them. Nor are
the money lenders to be blamed for de-
handing their money. Seeing, as they
do that with such legislation as the
popuhsts propose, their money is not safe
it is only natural that they should want
to get possession of it as quickly as they
can.
Hostility to capitalists may be a good
card for demagogues who are seeking of
fee, but it is ruin to the farmers who are
dependent upon capitalists for their
farms, Not until the people recognize
the fact that creditors, as well as debtors.
have rights will much capital seek invest
ment in Kansas.

Colorado got straight up after the con
clusion of the silver fight and gave her
senators a black eye each They, told
the Senate and the country that if the re
peal bill should be passed Colorado would
be irretrievably ruined her industries
would crumble to decay, and her people
starve. A day or two ago ex-Gov. Evans.

National Bank; Rodney Curtis, president
Of the Denver Tramway Company; c. B.
Kountz, president of the Colorado
National Bank; J. J. Reithmann. presi-
dent of the German National Bank. and
several other bankers, We're asked what
effect the passage of the repeal bill
would have upon the states prosperity.
Their reply, summarized. was: Our
people were discouraged during August
and September, but that has been re
moved to a great extent by the prospects
of the future. Colorado has been dealt a
severe blow, but VIII recover, and will
soon be one Of the greatest states in the
union if she is not so now" The tales of
woe that the silverites told in the Senate
were, then, political yarns only.

Impr azisinr a Now.

The Brazilian governments agents at
New York are reported TO have purchased
besides the steamships Fl Cid and Ell Rio
and the Ericsson torpedo boat Destroyer,
the splendid large steam yacht Atalanta
and the small steam yacht Ffeseen, to be
added to the governments navy The
purchases were all made within two
weeks.
The Atalanta, it will be remembered
was Jay Gould's pleasure craft. She is
one of the largest and swiftest yachts
atoat and is constructed throughout of
steel. 1t is said she will mount a heavy
battery of Ho-chkiss guns aud torpedo
tube. She is nearly 300 feet long and has
a speed of about eighteen knots an hour.
The price paid to George Gould for her is
said to approximate S250,00O The File
seen, the small yacht, is one of the swift
est in New York harbor, and is to be
fitted out as a torpedo boat, to be carried
upon FL Cid's davits
The five ships the Brazilians have thus
rapidly acquired form quito q respecta bic

an rstatement of the truth to say that
the five vessels, armed as it is said they
will be before they leave for the south.
would be more than match
for the whole American navy as it
existed at the time Mr. Cleveland
entered upon his first term Then we
had only a lot of wooden tubs, maintained
chiefly for the purpose Of furnishing an
| eXcuse7for appropriations, to be divided
among the members of the navy ring
| Now, however, we have something bet
ter. sE-
But as good as our navy is it is not
strong enough to cope with the
navy of any other tirst-class power.
And just here is where Brazips
success inimprovisinga navy in this coun-
try becomes of especial interest to Ameri-
cans. If the Brazilian government can,
within a few weeks, pick up in the port
of New York, and arm in the state OF
New York, feet of five vessels that will
be strong enough to fight such ships as
Mello's Aquidaban, how much bet
ter could the United States do
at pinch! The probabili-
ties are that we could, and would. do
much better. This government has the
right, in rfne OF. war, TO take into its SER
vice the steamers New York and Paris
of the American transatlantic line, be-
sides the other steamers of the same
class the company is building These
steamers are very powerful and were
built with view to becoming auxiliary
cruisers in time of war Besides these
there are on the two coasts numbers of
fine steel vessels that could. if pressed
into service, be made dangerous fighters
ON short notice. And they could be
armed, too, in short order America is
now making as good and as strong powder
guns as any country in the world, besides
those terrible dynamite beavers of the
kind lei Cid will mount.
BralI's success in improvising a fair
navy from among our craft without maxi
ing any appreciable iuroads upon the sup
ply should have the effect of reassuring
Americans that the resources of our coun-
try are well nigh limitess.
