The Native and the Foreign
Vote.

The New York Evening Post, one
of the most ardent of gold standard
newspapers, has been studying the
statistics of the census and the re.
turns of the recent election together,
and has made a notable discovery
relative to the division of the people
on the lines of nativity. In regard
to the Southern States that voted for
Mr.. Bryan and the policies he repre-
sented the Post says
"The whites have among them
only about l per cent of people Of
foreign parentage in North Carolina,
between 3 and in South Carolina,
Georgia and Tennessee and between
4 and 5 in Virginia, Alabama, Missis.
sippi and Arkansas, about Is in Flcr.
ida, 19 in Texas and 26 in Louisiana
In the section as a whole the foreign
vote is very small, and in no one of
these last three has it over been a
controlling element" :"
Turning to the States that voted
for Mr.. Mckinley and the policies he
represented the Post finds:
"In New England persons of for.
eign parentage constitute from about
% per cent of the population in Maine
to Sc in Massachusetts and SO in
Rhode Island, in New York about 81
New Jersey SO and Pennsylvania 81,
about IS per cent in Ohio, "A in iowa,
SO in Illinois, SIS in Michigan, 81 in
South Dakota, a in Wisconsin, 76 in
Minnesota and 79 in North Dakota.

ed. rolled up all the gold standa' d

and made up the largest part of the
miuorities in Kansas and Missouri
The foreign metropolis of Missouri
(St Louis) went for sound money
"bv large majority 1t was the
native "Americans who carried it the
wrong "way.'
Wherever the native American
population predominates, the Post
concludes, the free silver movement
was strongest while the largely

From the Lsurens Advertiser.
The Bryan movement might have
more dignity if it had been supported

sissippi and uorth Of the Ohio The

this rendered BY the strongest nation
morally. and 10 fact physically, ends a
matter. There is no appeal especial
1y upon a mere question of policy.
Fortunately for all, the sectional ques-
tlous affecting the weaker section of the
nation are largely settled: There is
little viudictiveuess anywhere. Busi-
ness prosperity is the great problem left
fer all. and to that all good citizens
will adjust themselves. Mckinley is

More About Salem County.

An esteemed correspondent sends
us copy of a letter printed recently
in the Sumter Watchman and South
ron; in advocacy of the adoption
"Salem" as the name of the new
county proposed to be formed from
parts of Sumter and other old coun-
ties, and invites US 10 consider the
arguments therein presented. They
are in substance as follows
''See how full of inspiration is Sa-
lem King of righteousness, King Of
peace.
"Providentially Salem comes to
the front when we see so many evil
dences of white winged peace hover
ing all over our distracted State
There is power in name. Jose.
pbine presented petition to Napo-
leon interceding in behalf of some
English prisoners. He refused until
be heard the name of DR.. Jenner.
The pardon was then granted
Solomon says good name is bet
ter than great riches.
"We have made good selection.
as being a historical, traditional and
household name" ="
We are not disposed to argue the
question further than we have done
already 1t is one that concerns
mainly the people of the new county,
and if they are satisfied with asa
lem' and think it is the best name
that they could give to their county
we shall abide their decision without
murmur. We may suggest to our
correspondent and his neighbors,
however, that Solomon's remark was
not applied to counties, but to men,
and that Salem can have no particu-
lar "historical or traditional" signl6
cance or value for the designation of
county in this State when it al
ready designates another county in
another State, and about IS towns
and villages and post Offices scatter
ed throughout all the States, not to
mention possibly thousand country
churches
The Napoleonic incident does not
appear to US to have any especial
bearing upon the case, unless the
name "Jenner'' is proposed as an
alternative for "Salem," as to which
we are not informed.
Finally, "Salem" does not mean
king of righteousness" Or "King
of peace" If one of those titles is
what the people of the new county
have in mind the Hebrew equivalents
of them, respectively, are Melcbiz-
edek, aud Melchisalem. Salem only
means "peace," dry so without the
"King.'
And, speaking for ourselves only,
we are unable to find $50 many evil
dences of white winged peace

State, cid or new, as to warrant nam.
