BRIDGE NOT IN DANGER.
One Of the Piers Was Threatened but
No Fear Now Felt

No Fear Now Felt.
Although the underground fire which
is raging in the culm-filled Ontario and
Western railroad yard is in close proX-
unity to the westerly pier of the Linden
street bridge, City Engineer Phillips
expresses the belief that there need be
no alarm felt for the bridges safety.
AT first there were some apprehen-
sions of fear on this score, but since
the railroad company has succeeded in
reaching the fire and given assurance
that 1t can be controlled. the alarm has
subsided. Mr.. Phillips stated yester-
day that he has watched the place
closely. and if it was found that the
fire was threatening to spread to culm
on which the pier is built, he was pre-
pared to take preventive measures.

TILLMAN'S PITCHF0RK.

The Foddershock rankles in gore today.
The pumpkin is up in arms,
The Corncob's out In martial array.
There's a crop of wars alarms;
And here and there
And everywhere,
There's gallons Of blood
Mixed up with the mud;
And Tillman is loose with his pitchfork.
The tyrant's collar is fixed on the neck
OF the honest farmer man,
Whose home is nineteen-twentlethS
wreck,
And he is under the ban
Of the demon gold,
All yellow and cold.
With its greedy hands
Clutched hard on his lands;
And Tillman is loose with his pitchfork
The rural rooster is waiting his chance;
In the meantime he must beg
His Door and frugal sustenance,
And then he will lay an egg
Of dynamite
On the tyrant's light,
10 blow it through
To hellaballoo;
And Tillman is loose with his pltchfork
He wants their cider turned into cham
spaigne,
Their bacon to terrapin;
Their bread shall be pie; their losses
all gain,
And is to l tin;
Above or below,
They havn't a show.
But by the gods,
They'll conquer the odds,
IfTlllman is loose with his pitchfork!
He pitched the President over the
: fence,
He prodded Carlisle in manner in
tense, -
He forked the innocent millionaire,
He prodded the Wall Street yellow air,
He iabbed the Senators full Of holes,
He poked his tines into the souls
Of staid decorum, usage long
Observed by those who can do no
wrong;
He punched the gold bug in the back,
He forked Sic Semper through the
slack;
For Tillman was loose with his pitch
fork!
Cyclopean terror Tlllman,
A statesman from the South;
A raw and ready statesman,
With a wild and woody mouth.

Talbert Indignant.


On last Wednesday Hon. w. j..
Talbert had'a little spat with Pear
son, republican member of the
House from North Carolina, in
which "Jas" rubbed it in as fol-
lows:
In the course of his remarks, MIR.
Pearson INDUCED in sneer at the
expense of South Carolina for the
part which she took ill provoking
the War of Secession. This allu-
sion angered Mr.. Talbert of South
Carolina, who declared in a great
state of excitement that South Car
olina was right in the position
which she took.
II am ashamed of any mau who
endorses secession or the motives
which lay behind it," Mr.. Pearson
said.
Il endorse it," Mr.. Talbert ex-
claimed. 81 endorse every word OF
secession"
ut has been said," Mr.. Pearson
went on "that if hell ever breaks
loose in this country, it will break
loose in South Carolina; and l be-
lieve IL"
The spectators in the gallery
took sides in this angry alteration,
applauding now the one and now
the other combatant.
Mr.. Talbert had the last word,
declaring that "South Carolina new
or had been whipped, and never
will be whipped"
When the excitement subsidized
Mr.. Pearson went OH with his
speech.

The Talbert Episode.

We fear that Congressman Tai
bert is out of date. He should
have had sufficient discretion to
guard against being dragged into a
furious discussion about secession,
Of course we all know that seces-
sion was right, but what is the
good of a congressman advertising
it in congress? Mr. Talbert should
remember that he is not Mars, the
god of war, nor yet Minerva of war
and wisdom. He should not pre-
sent little fools like Barrett with
excuses to rear in their patent
leather boots.
However. having plunged into
the rumpus it is very gratifying to
South Carolinians that Mr.. Tai
bert bore himself SO well. 1t is
clear as mud that Barrett and
Boutelle were knocked over the
ropes and counted out-Charlcston

A correspondent of the New

A correspondent of the New
York journal, writing from Wash
ington says that Tillman was a
Confederate soldier during the lat
ter part of the war. He then be-
came lawyer but shortly gave up
the profession. He took his politi-
cal start by advocating certain
methods of raising potatoes. He
made such a strong speech in a
convention of farmers in favor of
his plan that he was assaulted by
some of the farmers present, being
handy with his fists he whipped
several of these farmers until. in
self-defence they endorsed his
views on potatoe culture. He thus
gained his supremacy over the
Wool Hats. This correspondent
also says that wien he took posses
sion of the Governors Mansion in
Columbia he found q broad green
lawn in front of the Mansion. cit
was lawn of beauty and JOY, fresh
and good with grass and flowers.
Tillman, posing as utilitarian, con-
deming blade and blossom as
badges of an oppressive plutosracy,
plougbed up the lawn and planted
it in corn. Evenings ,he would sit
on The veranda behind the corn
and plot politics of the ruthless
school. The peasantry passing the
place pointed to the corn with Joy.
Every tassel was feather in Till
mans Wool Hat"
The New York Times says:
"That when Senator Tillman
made his great speech he wore a
rusty black coat"
The New York World thus de-
scribes him.
"Senator Tillman strobe down
from his seat in the rear row to
one of the front desks. His tall
figure was clothed in long-tailed
black coat. His Napoleon head
and fierce white countenance mark
ed him as the man of the hour.
There is something inexpressibly
savage about his face when he is
excited. His mouth is the mouth
of a Sioux warrior. His eye is a
threat. In spite of his sombre
frock coat and the decent black
cravat tucked under the edges of
bi, turned-down collar he had the
air of fighter. For nearly two
hours he affrouted and defed his
audience. At times he looked like
an actor in some strange play. And
when he uttered his last terrific
sentence the crowds poured out OF
the galleries and the Senators de-
serted the scene as though the cur
tain had fallen"
The New York Journal says:
"The figure of Tillman is a
quaint one. Although he con-
stantly boasts of belonging to the
common people, he has thoroug h.
ly good tailor, who dresses him in
perfect taste. AS he stood for two
hours al the front of The Senate,
his poise was excellent. However
violent and vituperative he may be,
Tlllman is undoubtedly desperate.

the only honest man in the nation"
