These days OF cold winds and SHOWS in
the north and northwest are the days on
which the winter tourist thinks of packing
trunks and starting south. The early op-
ening of the cold season at the north
means the early opening of the tourist
season at the south. Hence there is not
solely bleakness and disagreeableness in
the cold wave situation. 1t is about now
that tourist rates would be a good thing

PEELED by public opinion to unite with the

1t is extremely doubtful if the defec-
ton of DR.. Sampson Pope of South Caro-
lima to the republican party will have any
appreciablel effect upon the political sit
uation in that state. DR.. Pope has been a
member. of about every party and every
faction that ever came along in South
Carolina since he got to be a voter. and
has tried unsuccessfully to be leader of
each of them. The nearest he ever got
to leadership was when he was an indie
pendent candidate for governor in the last
election, and was ingloriously beaten. He
was one of the chief lieutenants of the
"Tinman movement" at its inception, and
secured the office of clerk of the Senate
under that movement. But he was am
bilious. and his ambition led to the breach
between Tillman and himself DIR. Pope
is a man of some ability but he will not
lead South Carolina into the republican
party.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Depends Upon Congress.
From the NASHVILLE American DEM

If the members of congress approach
the consideration of the condition of the
treasury and its connection with the gold
reserve in a purely political state of mind,
and also undertakes to legislate concern
ing the endless chain process of depicting
the treasury of gold in the same frame of
mind nothing will be done, and more gov
ernmental borrowing will be necessary.

Senator PETER is going to rattle some
cry bones during the next session of the
Senate, he says. He is going to call for
an investigation of some recent congress
sional funerals and will demand item
lied bills for the expenses incurred in
the funeral junkets. That kind of thing
will suit Senator PETER admirably. His
manner and his politics are suggestive of
graveyards and dead bodies. There is
beyond doubt room for an investigation
into some of the congressional funerals,
and the long whiskered and ghostly Kan
san is just the man to dig up the facts.
At last PETER has discovered his field CT
usefulness.

1t is stated that one reason why so much
gold is being shipped abroad at this time
is that better rate of interest is being
paid for money in London than in New
York-that there is a vast amount of idle
money in the latter city, for which there
is no demand whatever. In London there
is an active demand for it. owing to the
liquidation that is going on in the Kafir
mining shares.
No doubt there is quite sharp demand
for money in nearly all the European
cities where the speculation in Kaffir
shares has been active, but it hardly
seems possible that money is being sent
from this country to supply that demand.
The money has of course to be trans
ferred in gold, because that is the only
money we have that is current in Europe
The high rate of interest in London and
other European cities is not likely to pre-
vail long. 1t costs considerable to send
gold to Europe and bring it back, hence
there cannot be much profit in sending
money to Europe for the purpose of loan
ing it.
The most reasonable, in fact, the only
reasonable explanation of the movement of
gold to Europe at this time. is that we
are indebted to Europe. our imports being
considerably greater than our exports.
We have not exported as much cotton and
wheat as usual this year and we have
imported a great deal of merchandise.
Our gold therefore is leaving us because
we are paying our debts with it. That
is a satisfactory explanation of the gold
outflow, and a very reasonable one.

THE ADMINISTRATION
TICKET.

We have caught on to some of
the inside work of the administra-
ton, who are now busy form
ing the State ticket.
Of course the candidates do not
always get what they want, but it
is submission or nothing. The
commanding power is Governor
Foster, for in his hands lies the
power of electing or defeating the
state ticket, by turn of the cleo
ion crank.
Senator Blanchard would like
very much to retain his Senator
ship, but Gov. Foster wants this
plum, and will get it; now 80 as TO
soften the disappointment of step
ping down Blanchard, he is given
the first place ON the state ticket,
he will be our next Governor.
Mayor Fitzpatrick had an eye
on the Gubernatorial chair too,
but the leaders of the administra-
ton are afraid to trust him with
the head of the administration,
for fear he would create too much
dissension in their ranks in the
country parishes. Fitzpatrick can
not be Mayor of New Orleans
again, because it would create an
uprising among the best element
of the City; but Fitzpatrick has a
tremendous following, which is
badly needed by the administra-
ton, so Fitz kicked for some pap,
and was finally booked for the
State treasury.
Foster will be the next United
States Senator to succeed Blan-
chard, who in his turn succeed
Foster in the Gubernatorial chair,
and Fitzpatrick will the Treasur-
er.
The balance of the ticket will
