The barefoot boy when he winces
and cries at stubbing q toe is told that
the hurt is too far from his head and
that there Is nothing to cry about.
-Four years ago the South Carolina Col
lege, the Dude Factory, the Columbia
Club, the lien merchant and the shys-
ter lawyer devoured the substance of
tho land: since these have been bribed
or beaten in the four years, Wall
Street, Grover Cleveland, and Lom-
bard Street, London, havebcen stumb-
ling blocks to our prosperity. If Ben
iamin X. Tillman goes to Washington,
two years hence the time will be
around for rctitting our little StaAe
House at Columbia with small officials,
when, we trust, Hong Kong, will be
the seat of stumps and cobble stones.
If the barefoot boy knocks off q toe
nail at that distance ever Ben Tillman
ought not to howl for HIM.
XXX
Gov. Tillman in his speech at Aiken
said that the Republicans and Popu-
lists would beat the Democrats this
fall hands down: it will come from
the worthlessncss OF tho Democratic
party and Cleveland. If tho Rcpubli-
cans get in then indeed We arc in a
bad fix. The reason for the Demo-
cratic overthrow is the failure of the
party to give us free silver and green
backs. These are the Governors spc-
cifcs-would have saved the party.
Then the Republicans ought not to
win. The populistic party ought to
win. The Republicans fight silver
tooth and nail. The Governor is hoist
by his own petard. He should go back
to the A, B, C's OF logic.
**
The cry of one man power, inter-
modelling and dictation will Of course
go up in q wall and howl over the Pros
ident's letter to Chairman Wilson.
We predict, however, hat the cry will
go up in doubly overwhelming volume
from the millions of democrats all over
the country summoning the congress
ional majority to its duty; that the
President will be sustained and the
party saved from the suicide which
without his leadership was sure Of
realization.

WOMEN OF THE FUTURE.
A Darwinian Philosophers Views on Com
ing Natural Selection.

A Darwinian Philosophers Views on Com
ing Natural Selection.
Ibelieve thai improvement will be effect
ed through the agency of female choice in
marriage AS things are, women are con.
stantly forced into marriage for bare liv-
ing or comfortable home. They have
practically no choice in the selection of
their partners and the fathers of their chill
dren, and so long as this economic neces-
sity for marriage presses upon the great
bulk of women, men who are vicious, de-
graded, of feeble intellect and Insound
bodies will secure wives, and thus often
perpetuate their infirmities and evil hab-
It's. But in a reformed society the vicious
man, the man of degraded taste or of fee
BILE intellect, will have little chance of find
ing a wife, and his bad qualities will die
out with himself. On the other hand, the
most perfect and beautiful in body and
mind, the men of spotless character and
reputation, will secure wives first, the less
cemmendable later and the least commend
able latest of all. AS a natural conse-
quence, the best men and women will mar
ry the earliest and probably have the larg-
est families. The result will be a more
rapid increase of the good than of the bad,
and this state of things continuing to
work for successive generations will at
length bring the average man up to the
level of those who are now the more adj
vanced of the race.
On the whole, then, it is probable that
in the society of the future the mortality
Of males will be less, owing to preventive
measures in connection with dangerous
and injurious occupations, so that tie
number of manageable men will be equal
to that of women. Add to this chat Their
will be an increasing proportion Of women
who will prefer not to marry, and it is
clear that men desiring wives will be in
excess of women wanting husbands. This
will greatly increase the influence Of WON
en- in the improvement of the race. Being
In the minority, they will be more sought
after and will have a real choice in mar
riage, which is rarely the case now.
Broadly speaking, think we may trust
the cultivated minds and pure instincts
of the women of the future in the choice
Of partners. The idle and the selfish would
be almost universally rejected. The coars
and sensual man, the diseased or weak i'll
intellect, those having a tendency to In
sanity or to hereditary disease or who pos
beSS any COuBeulIdl uelOl HlIyJ WOulu rare
ly find partners, because the enlightened
woman would know that she was commit
ting an offense against society, against
humanity at large, in choosing a husband
who might be the means of transmitting
disease Of body or mind to his offspring.
Thus it will come about that the lower
types of men, morally and physically dis
eased, will remain permanently unmarried
and will leave no descendants, and the ad-
vance of the race in every good quality
will be insured Alfred Russell Wallace in
London Chronicle.

"The closest call | ever had" said a
detective, twas in southern Indiana, where
a posse of us had gone to capture some
counterfeiters. There were five of us in
the party, and as l had previously been
over the ground and located the house !
was deputed to watch the front while the
others deployed in the rear, and we were
to come together at given signal and
make rush for the house, which was a
log cabin standing in an open field. 1t be-
gan to rain soon after we separated, and
seeing u new weatherboarded house ahead
of me and knowing that was in the right
neighborhood l concluded to stay there a
few hours until after the rain subsidized.
There was no danger of the counterfeiters
leaving. Knocking at the door, was adj
mitted. Inside were five men and woman.
They showed me up stairs to my room,
and as the man who piloted me left I heard
him turn the key in the door, and | knew
that / was prisoner Then / saw that the
house was of logs and had been recently
weatherboarded. In q few minutes
heard them consulting together in the hall
and felt that my doom was being sealed.
Dropping out of a small window at the
end of the room, l reached my horse just
as they discovered my escape, and the ball
from a rifle whistled past my head as
mounted the horse. A regular fusillade
followed, and the bullets came close enough
for me to hear them. But ! succeeded in
reaching my companions, and we sur
rounded the house just in time to catch
them as they started home. st Louis

lovers of canned meats, but not being al-
lowed to fish within a certain distance
from our shores, they exchange ION the

canned goods. We asked what gave it
such a name II don't know. but drank
some of it in Mexico, eighteen years ago,
and it burns yet and bores like an auger
Guess that's why they named it that"
was the reply of an old salt. Sponges
ale low now and the crew gets less cash
than formerly, consequently cannot buy
drinks, but resort to "snipe and slope"
that is, exchange the property of the
ship owner for drink, and "slope" out of
reach of the same. We left the Springs
for Sutherland, five miles below, where
we get our first glimpse of the Gulf, di
rect. 1t carries us back to boyhood
days, when we tOiled to impress our
minds with the "Gulf stream" and con-
sequent results to portions of this coun-
try. Here one looks out upon a waste
of water, dotted with an occasional sail.
We (the good wife and satchels includ-
ed), were soon on the platform and in
quiry developed the fact, Sutherland con-
sisted of two large hotels, one store and
long dock, built out into the water a
long distance. We hailed the conductor
"a northern man. and by the way, nearly
all railroad men are from the North and
West, in this whole section), and enter
ing the train, paid our fare to the next
resort, Dunedin. This did not appear TO
fill the bill, and we thought to try clear
water. All these places are directly on
the coast, and our train runs for miles,
just at the waters edge, oftimes over.
Clear water presented few attractions
and our next stop was from necessity, as
we had arrived at the end of the Orange
Belt road at st. Petersburg, 90 miles from
Pasadena, due south. From this point,

your readers, as it has been, particularly
