MIR. Watson's Letter.

The publication of his letter of accent
ance at this late day shows poor Judgment
on Mr.. Watson's part. Those outside of
his enthusiastic admirers who were in
clined to think he was badly treated by
the leaders of his party. and who sympa-
thized with him, will be apt now to with
draw their sympathy and those who were
inclined to regard him as a statesman will
probably change their opinion. They will
still say he is a man of ability, but they
will cease to think of him as being quail
fed for the office of Vice President.
What could have been his motive for
publishing the letter more than a week
after the presidential election? Did he
desire to satisfy public curiosity as to its
contents, or did he think 1t so meritorious
a document that the world would lose a
treat If he withheld it? We do not under
take to say what his motive was, but
whatever 1t was it could hardly be of a
character to increase the estimation in
which he was held as a vice presidential
candidate.
Mr.. Watson abuses the democratic party
and attacks Senator Marion Butler 1t is
his privilege at any time to do both. While
we cannot think he means all he says
against the democratic party, we do moi
believe he deals too harshly with Senator
Butler. The latter assisted in preventing
him from receiving the recognition Il
which he was entitled. While Mr.. Wat.
son was battling for his party Mr. Butler
was scheming for power for himself-at
least what he did seems to bear that in.
Interpretation.
Mr.. Watson could have made his letter
public before the election, and 1t ought tc
| have been published at that time, If at all
He may say he did not want to lessen the
chances for Mr.. Bryan's election, but in
tyring to help Mr.. Bryan he aided Mr.
Sewall. II. therefore, the democratic party
had been successful he would have occu
pied the position of having done what ht
could for Mr.. Sewalrs election. That be
| ing the case, he has not so much reason
to find fault with Senator Butler so far as
working in Mr.. Sewalls interest is con
| cerned.
After the election Mr.. Watson stood
higher in the estimation of the country
than before his nomination. We are in
clined to think It will look upon the publ
cation of the letter as a rather childish
performance.

From Harlem Life.

My summer girl was fresh and bright,
And sweetly charming every way;
Her gown was nearly always white,
Her laces looked like drifted spray.
Her smooth hair shone in silken braid
Her calm eyes smiled; for. strange Ia
say,
This debonair and dainty maid
Was cool. however warm the day.
My winter girl Is wrapped In fur,
In softest wool of many piles;
There Is not much you see OF her,
Except bright cheeks and laughing
eyes.
Her voice Is clear. her step is free,
And herein lies her chiefest charm
However cold the day may be,
Ny winter girl is always warm

Mr.. Loveoek, an expert who has been en-
gagged to Judge the stock exhibits at the
South Carolina state fair in Columbia,
says the display of hogs at the fair is
the finest that is TO be seen in the south.
We take It that no small credit for the ex-
cellence Of South Carolina hogs is due to
our esteemed contemporary, the Charles
ton News and Courier, which has for sew
eral years been offering valuable prizes
ana other inducements to the farmers OF
dne state to improve the breed OF their
hogs and give attention to the raising Of
pork. We congratulate the News and cou-
Eier upon the success Of its enterprise; and
we congratulate the people Of South Caro-
Ina that they have 80 thoughtful and able
newspaper to represent them to the OH, :
side world.

The city council might have killed two
birds with one stone by including Dray-
ton street in the discussion with regard
to paving material for South Broad street.
There is. as a matter of fact, more urgent
demand for the improvement of Drayton
street than South Broad, as the former IS
a thoroughfare between the northern and
southern sections of the city, and also
must be crossed every day by hundreds
of school children. In its present condi-
tion, on damp days it is a river of mud
which the children must wade as they go
TO and from the high school, Maybe the
brick people could secure the Drayton
street contract as a sort of consolation
prize.

The publication of Mr.. Watson's letter
of acceptance will probably mark the in
auguration Of the war between Watson
and Butler for the leadership Of the popu-
list party for the next four years, and for
that party's nomination for the presidency
in 1900. 1t seems to be the accepted opin-
ION that Watson and Butler will each en-
deavor to be the next presidential nomd-
nee, and that both will work to prevent
Bryan, or any other democrat, from re-
oeiving populistic endorsement four years
hence ,.v

The Venezuela Settlement.
New Orleans Picayune Dem.)

As the United States sacrifices no prin-
ciple by the settlement which has been
reached, it is probably as well that the
matter Is definitely and amicably arrang-
ed. The Monroe doctrine has been vindi-
Gated, as Great Britain has practically
recognized our right to intervene. That
is a substantial advantage at any rate,
even II we gain nothing else and Venezuela
should lose all that she claims.

MIR. BrYnn's Address.

Mr.. Bryans recent address to "bimetal-
lists" is not well received In all parts Of
the south. The Galveston News, speak
ing of it says: "Mr. Bryan's address to
the country does him no credit. 1t is i'll
natured to begin with, and then he does
not appear willing to abide the decision Of
the people. His promise to keep up his
crusade indefinitely in the face of the over
whelmlng majority against him is likely
to drive from his cause thousands who
supported him. The many democrats who
do not believe his doctrine. but who sup
ported him as the regular party nominee,
cannot longer be counted upon to hold up
his hands in a bushwhacking campaign
against the business and indus trial inter-
combina lions have already cost the peo-
pie more than the mines are worth several
times over"
Mr.. Bryan in his telegram to Mr. Nc
Kinley congratulating him on his success
said I'VE submitted the issues to the reo-
pie and their will is law" Mr.. Bryan,
however, does not seem disposed to sub
NIT to the will of the people. He does
not /of course, purpose violently oppos-
ing their will, but it is his intention to
stir up discomfort among them and
do what he can to get them to refuse to
accept the decision which they rendered
on Nov. 8. He intends to devote the next
three or four years to the continued agi-
tation of the silver question, and in doing
that he will, to the extent of his ability,
obstruct the return of business prosperity.
The revival of business that is now go
ing on in all parts of the country proves
beyond question that 1t was the fear OF
silver recommendation that stopped the fac
tories and depressed business. That fear
having been removed there is an abund-
ance of money and business is reviving
in way that is truly wonderful. The
New York World published statements
day or two ago. that 10000 idle men found
employment during the week succeeding
the election.
Mr.. Bryan can do the cause of silver no
good by continuing the silver agitation at
this time If he is the patriot he pre-
tends to be he will urge that the silver agi-
tation cease for the present in order that
the country may have fair chance TO re-
gain business and industrial prosperity.
A colored man has taken first prize for
native colts at the South Carolina state
fair. His colt is seventeen months old,

lower Sunors record" The owner of the
colt is said to have declined an offer Of
$500 for it. This shows what the en- erpr1s-
ing and Industrious colored man can do in
South Carolina and the south. Fine stock
raising is a paying business. and may be
prohtably engaged in by white or black

In making an application to the court of
Pottsyille last week for more time in which
to prepare his argument for new trial in be-
half Of Theodore Eisenhower, who is con-
demned for the murder of Schwindt, Con-
gresham Brumm stated,as one of his reasons,
the alleged discovery that William Schwindt,
brother of the deceased, had visited Mrs,
Eisenhower subsequent to the shooting. The
newspapers published the statement and this
morning Mrs. Mary j. Eisenhower, wife OF
the condemned man, called at the HERALD
office and asked that statement be made in
her behalf. She says Mr., Brumm's state
ment about the visit was absolutely false
that she had not seen William Schwindt but
once since the death Of his brother, and then
she passed on one side of the street and he
on the other. She further more states that
she has not spoken to William Schwindt
since the first trouble between him and her
husband.
