The Y. NJ. G.. A. Convention has
infused renewed enthusiasm into the
membership in Sumter. The purpose
of the organisation is work. and the
convention and the delegates, iodivi-
dually, illustrated this purpose. The
convention had its work mapped out
systematically and no time was lost; !;
the delegates we're earnest. yet euthu-
sisstic aud allowed no time to slip idly
by. There was 10 lost motion. 20
useless talk about little points of minor
Importance they con6ned themselves
to the work and how and where and
when to work. The convention was
composed Of men that Sumter will
always gladly welcome and bid farewell
With regret.
In the Normal Schools of this country
i. is pretty generally taught that the
schools Of Germany are worthy OF al!
imitation, and that in methods, as we'll
as in practical results obtained they are
far superior to schools Of the same class
in this country. The schools Of Amer
lea are making wonderful Improvement
each year and with the experience of
the European educators as basis it is
not surprising that our schools should
equal aud even surpass the models.
The report of sDr. Wartzold, German
School Commissioner, to the Worlds
Fair brings this fact to mind forcibly.
He says: .In their school system. the
Americans are 10 every way superior to
the Germans, most notably in teaching
anguages, drawing and modelling. 1t
is surprising what command OF Ian
guage the American school children
have. German teachers dwell too much
upon style, while American teachers
aim to give the children command of
diction
The Atlanta Constitution recently
sent reporter to. Charleston for the
purpose Of making complete aud
unbiased report on the dispensary and
blind tiger situation. Mr.. Brufy made
a very readable story of the report, and,
we're it possible to obsaio him he would
make most valuable witness for Gov.
Tillmau. for he says that there are
more than a huodred places in Charles
ton where the initiated may obtain
liquors of all kinds. He did not fud
the thugs and cut-throats spoken of by
Gov Tillmau. but says that the men
who sell the anti-dispensary liquors are
the ordinary types of saloon keepers.
The sentiment in Charleston, he says.
is directly opposed to the dispensary
law. not in a spirit of violence and
lawlessness, however, but on the
principle that the law. in itself, is not
legal. an0 shat it is an infringement of
personal rights aud privileges never
resigned to the State by the people
This being all true, for we have had
substantially the same report from
persons who have visited Charleston
recently, what is Gov Tillmau going
to do about it.?

A Daughter Of Music is a romance of
which we can give but slight idea III
the limited space allotted. 1t is the
story of a proud, passionate girl bred
far from the circle of fashionable life,
whose soul is filled to.overfowing with
sense of music. She has been accus-
toned to sing for her grandfather's
laborers the simple psalm tunes with
which they,are all familiar, when. chance
brings to their house a musical genius,
who shows her-irst upon an old piano
and later upon ,he organ-what is the
music of the great masters. 1t takes pos
session of her soul. 1t controls her will
and though she marries the companion
of her youth, she leaves him, entranced
and seduced as she is by the musical
passion, and gives herself to the great
artist. Her awakening comes close upon
her sin and folly. Her fight from her
lover, ii finding of her by her hus-
band, the birth of her child, her punish
ment and her expiration, are all drawn
with force and fervor. The tale is sad
one, but it will produce an impression
and should gain its author reputation.

REED OR MCKINLEY.
minneapolis Tribune.)

NMllluCdpOuS LIlDuut.J
1t is a serious question whether the
Minnesota Republicans prefer Reed or
Mckinley for presidential tim Der. The
Tribune is inclined to believe that a
large majority of the party in this State
would prefer Reed. Reed is big, bold
and aggressive-just the man to capture
the fancies of the live Republicans of
Minnesota. Mckinley has attractive
personal qualities too, but there is a
feeling that in the country at large he
would not be strong candidate, because
he is the author of the Mckinley tariff
bill. Yet all believe in protection, hut
crude and ill-digested and extreme
measure, which cost the Republican
party overwhelming defeat. The people
condemned the Mckinley bill in the cleo
tons of 1890 and again in 1892 and there
is reason to fear that they would con-
denim it again in 1896 if it's author were
put on the Republican ticket for presi-
dent. 1t is now generally conceded that
if the Republican Congress in 1890 had
passed asmoderate tariff measure instead
of the extreme Mckinley bill, they would
have remained in power to this day, and
the panic would have. been averted The
people have discovered that in placing
the Democratic party in power in order
to condemn the Mckinley tariff, they
jumped out of the frying pan into the
fire-the remedy was worse than the dis
ease. But this does not alter the fact
that Mckinley showed very poor judg-
ment in concocting a measure SO unpopu
lar, and the remem brance is not going to
help his. changes. for the presidency.

always claimed an over-lordship OF the
little neighbor. The Corean princes
have paid tribute to China in the past,
andEthe present King of Corea is SO
much under the influence of China that
he may almost be described as the pup
pet of Lii Hung Chang. 1t is said, how
ever, that a treaty exists between CHINA
and Japan whereby troops of the former
nation may not be called into Corea with
out the consent of Japan.
These being the main conditions, the
war was precipitated by rebellion IN
Corea. In Corea, as in old France I'M
der the Bourbons. the officers of govern
ment are sold. A Corean buys the gov
ernorship of province as a French no.
bleInan of the eighteenth century
bought place in the Parliament of
Paris. In recent years the prices of offic-
es in Corea have gone up at the tsame
time that the terms have been short
ened. The Corean official, reduced to
the necessity of making more money
in shorter time, became such a ter
rible oppressor of the people that the
latter would stand it no longer Then
the King tried to sustain the officials,
and in the general revolution the troops
of China ana Japan were called in to
protect the conflicting interests of the
two nations.
These are the circumstances under
| which the war arose. OF course, above
it all, is the long jealousy of China and
Japan.

The great Chinese statesman, Ii Hung
Chang, is.credited with the following in
teresting prophecy: Before half a CEN
fury is passed China will be covered with
railways as with net. Its immense
mineral resources will be developed. 1t
will have rolling mills and furnaces in
many parts of the country, and it is not
impossi bile that it may do the manufac-
turing for the world. It seems to me
thai the most serious question which
menaces the working people Of your
countryEand Europe lies here. The Chin
csc have shown themselves to be as skill
full and as intelligent as any people in
the world. They will work hard rrand
they can live cheaper than your people,
and when our country is open to rail
ways, and itshas turned it's attention to
supplying the markets of the world, I be
lieve it can supply them better and
cheaper tran you can. This is the ques-
ton that you will have to face.'' Lii
Hung Chang is the statesman who b as
done SO much to make this prophecy
true, aDd whatever strides forward China
has made are due to him. Whether Chin.
ma can fulfill in fifty years his dreams OF
progress may be doubted, but that some
day she will shake off her conservatism
and turn her hundreds of millions of pa
tent toilers into the fields of modern in
dustry may be regarded as tolera bly, sure.

were less than they are, he would yet be
read by large class who know him as
statesman. politician, and especially
for the prominent part he has taken in
the much vexed Irish question in Eng
land. HIS late novel, Red Diamonds,
will be popular. 1t is an English story,
but some of it's characters are so strange
and foreign that it hardly seems tale
of English life. 1t very nearly opens
with a mysterious murder, and teens
with criminal interest to the very last
chapter. Mr.. McCarthy's style is fresh
and straightforward, he does not allow
the readers interest to flag for moment

ing that our time has not been wasted,

The election in Alabama yesterday
was one of the most important ever held
in that state. The real issue of the cam
paign may be said to have been Reuben
F. Kolb, man who has come to the front
in that state within few years as the
organizer and leader of powerful op-
position to the Democratic ring of Ala
bama. Four years ago he.was a Demo
GRAFT in good standing, and a candidate
for the gubernatoral nomination, but
was defeated by Colonel Thomas G..
Jones. Two years later, when the Dem
ocratic convention was held, he bolted,
and setting up a party of his own, be-
came It's candidate for governor. The
campaign was bitter, and, although it
was claimed that Jones was elected by
$4,000 majority, Kolb claimed that he
had been counted out and swore ven
geance against the ring Democracy. This
year he was run again, and the times not
of any kind, he has made great head
way. Senator Morgan, who hates
Cleveland, is a candidate for reelection
to the Senate, and Colonel William G.
Oates, who is friend of Cleveland, is
the Democratic nominee for governor.
Both men have been personally directing
the campaign. From estimates made
up Sunday from the canvass, the Oates
men claimed $4,000 majority for their
candidate. Less confidence was ex-
pressed that Morgan could control the
legislature, although he undoubt edly
had the lead. While Kolb's movement
is largely personal one, he has gradual
~ gathered the populistic elements
about him, as that party is the only one
| that really makes Roadway against the
Democracy in the South. Some Repub.
licans also have supported Kolb, but the
| larger portion of the negro vote has
| probably; been manipulated in favor oil
the regular, and more aristoeratic, Demo
cratic organization. 1t cannot be said
that any great significance attaches to
the result, although if the returns should
disclose a Kolb victory, an impetus
might be given to the Populist cause
that would cause great disquietude in
the Democratic camp as to the Novem.
