Candidates for office in South Caro-
lima have quite frequently been on
the verge of pugilistic combats but
the worst yet reported was at pub
lie meeting in Florence last Friday.
Gov. Evaus, while making a speech,
referred to Judge Earl in an insulting
manner and the latter jumped upon
the platform and struck Evans on the
head. The Governor countered with
a blow under the eye which brought
blood and a tight was in progress
but quickly stopped by friends.

settles the question. The ticket most
frequently spoken of at present is
Senator Palmer of Indiana and Gen.
Gordon OF Georgia. A third ticket
will undoubtedly help Mckinley.
Many democrats would vote for
Bryan in preference to Mckinley,
though sound money men. A third
ticket will draw all these votes and
thus weaken BRYAN.

Depew Returns From England.


Chauncey M. Depew, who went
abroad several weeks ago to remain
until September, returned home last
Friday on account of the reported
serious illness of Cornelius Wander
bilt. He will not return to England,
remaining here to work for the sue
cess of the republican candidates.
Mr.. Depew says that Europeans
cannot understand how single sem
tence, no matter how eloquently or
passionately uttered, could capture
delberative convention of the
selected representatives of veteran
political organization, unless some
midsummer madness had caused the
election OF body of crazy sentiment
alists rather than wise and expert
enced party leaders. This movement
has created widespread distrust ofour
credit and sense OF financial honor,
one effect OF which has been to check
the flow of foreign capital to our
country and to give unprecedented
prosperity and employment of capt.
tai and labor in Great Britain.
Everything which will employ CAPT
tai and labor is pushed with feverish
energy. Money is abundant and can
be borrowed on account of home
investment at very cheap rates,
while it is almost impossible to
secure it for America at any rate of
interest. If it was thought the sill
yer movement would succeed most
American securities held abroad
would be sold and the money taken
to the other side for investment. In
regard to the feeling between the
d Ee6hntries Mr.. Depew speaks as
follows:
"Do you know there is nothing sur
prises England so much as the prevalent
hostile and unfriendly feeling against
them here? Bayard's speeches have
made him the most popular minister
ever sent by America to the Court of st.
! James, because of his earnest and en-
phatic iteration and reiteration of our
common blood, language and literature,
and the common mission in friendly
rivalry of these English-speaking nations
in the service of humanity and civiliza-
ton. There is an honest and hearty
cordially toward us among the people
of Great Britain. They are practically
unanimous for a permanent international
tribunal of arbitration which will
render war between us impossible. To
them the Venezuelan question is con-
troversy over a worthless swamp, to
which they have good title, inhabited
by a few thousand people who want to
live under British law and liberty, and
protest against being handed over to the
military dictatorship and frequent con-
6scation of Venezuelan revolutions, and
they think their duty to these British
subjects and their national honor alike
demand resolute stand against Venezu-
Ella. They cannot understand what our
interest in the matteris unless we intend to
assume, under protectorate the quar-
res of all the republics of South America.
They rather suspect, too, that it has all
been keen game of politics for the presi-
Dental campaign. That is the idea with
the press and the masses. Statesmen,
however, have come to different conclu-
sions. They may be summed up in a
remark attributed to Lord Salisbury,
that American politicians OF all parties
are determined upon war with Great
Britain, and if not over Venezuela, some
other pretext will be found"

THE GRAND JURY CHARGED
And II There Has Been Any Rot
tenness In These Parts IL VIII Be
Exposed and the Guilty Ones
Properly Attended To.

Stevensville, Jan. 20.-All Stevens
VILE is alert with interest in the pro-
ceedings of the grand jury which en-
tered upon it's work this afternoon.
The report of the jury will be watched
for eagerly, as 1t will demonstrate the
truth or falsity of the charges which
Have been made against some county
officials. Court convened this morn
ing according to adjournment. John
S. Robertson was appointed foreman
of the grand jury and Judge Woody
read his charge to it's members. The
charge was lengthy and exhaustive
and characteristic of Judge Woody.
He reviewed at length the history of
the local quarrel which began when
the county commissioners awarded the
contract for the county printing, and
subsequent charges of fraud which
were made against the county attor-
ney, county clerk and one of the
county commissioners. He charged
the jury to investigate thoroughly all
affairs of the county; to examine the
official records and accounts; to en-
ploy expert services If necessary; to
show no favoritism and to be thorough
ly impartial. Further than that, II
any indictable offense shall be found
to have been committed the indictment
must De dSdlllSl thN
no matter who he may be. If found
that there has been official miscon-
duct, the report should fix the blame
where it belongs, screening nobody.
AS the county attorney is one of the
accused officials, Judge Woody APP
pointed Robert A. O'Hara of Hamilton
special prosecuting attorney to con-
duct the investigation of the charges
made against the officials, in order
that the work of the grand jury may
be free from any suspicion of >partial-
ity. This investigation is to be the
first work of the jury.
The charge made by Judge Woody is
the subject of much favorable COM
ment and voices the sentiments OF
every good citizen. Mayor O'Hara of
Hamilton, who has the position of
special attorney, is an excellent choice
and there is no doubt that the investi-
! CATION will be fair and thorough.
The trial of the case of the state VS..
MacLoon for embezzlement was begun
! this afternoon and will probably be
/ concluded tomorrow. Court adjourn
ed to o'clock tomorrow morning.

Missoula, Jan. 20.-The Martina
gambling trouble has not quieted down
vet. Adams. who came in Saturday
to make a complaint against Ellngson

the complaint was sworn to. Adams
story is that he and some friends went
into Ellingsons place for a game of
poker Ellingson sold them chips at
the bar and the game began Adams
won all the checks, but when he pre-
scented them at the bar, Ellingson would
not cash them. Then the trouble be-
gan. Adams had Ellingson arrested
for selling liquor without a license,
and went after him again. Ellingson
has since offered to pay for the checks,
but Adams won't have it that way
and swore out a complaint, even

guilty with Ellingson.

racy trial in Judge Ross court to-mor-
row. This afternoon Mrs Lehman

tion in her riotous conduct. She has
been living alone for some time, hel

best known to himself. Mrs. Ford
