"SIippery Elm" D-n has already
invented plan to excuse the Demo-
Gratis from blame for issuing bonds.
He says 1t Is all the fault of the Re-
publicans who passed the law of 875.
But for that law, says the old hum
bug, Carlisle couldn't have iesucd

solved problems Of the age.-Non-

The old party henchmen are re.
joicing that the panic is over, that
the banks have plenty of money, that
the money centers are financially con.
gested, but are as silent as the grave
about the panic in prices for all pro.
ducts of labor. and that the cities are
full to overdowing with lille men
clamoring for work and that this

An article Of unusual interest has
resulted from an expedition on be.
half o. Scribner's Magazine, made by
Joel Chandler Harris in company
with skillful artist. Daniel Smith,
to the scene of "The Sea Island Hur-
ricanes," off tho cost of South Caro-
lima. 1t was this strange region which
was devastated by the great storms
last autum, which killed 1000 people
and left 10000 homeless and suffer
ing. Among them for the past
few months Miss Clara Barton, with
q staff of workers from the Red Cross
Society, has been dispensing much
needed relief. Mr.. Harris viewed all
the interesting features of this work,
and his well-known conception of
negro character has enabled him to
present such u picture OF the disaster,
the suffering, and the work in pro-
gress as no other writer in the south
could give. The illustrations present
a realistic picture of the curious life
on these Islands. The article IN
this number is devoted largely to q
description of "The Devastation. -
Another article in the March number
will describe "The Relief"
