every national evil is due to Wall
street. Doubtless he will pay atten-
ton to it later on, as soon as he gets
into his senatorial stride
Some people thought that Tillman
would be overawed when he got into
the senate. They argued that the So
ciety of so many "big" men would
show him how small he was But
they didn't know the man. Tillman's
self-confidence is Of the arrogant kind.
Self-confidence does not describe him.
1t is too mild He seems to regard
himself as inspired to accomplish a
certain mission on earth. He goes at
everything in a hammer and tongs style
which makes a big noise and creates a
lot Of excitement, if nothing else. He
is pledged to the farmers of South
Carolina to accomplish many things
while in the senate. 1t is not. prob
! able that he will be able to make his
pledges good but failure will not be
due to lack of effort.
In his speech-making campaign in
South Carolina while talking on the
need of revising the federal constitu-
ton, he made this bloodthirsty predic-
ton: Unless some relief is afforded
to the agricultural population the
farmers will gradually become poor at
first and them separate. They will
! join with the revolutionary elements
in the cities and within twenty-five
! years we shall have a spectacle of
! throat-cutting and rapine beside which
the French revolution will be insight
f1cant 1t is bound to come. I can
| feel it, I can hear it, can see it. 1t
will be the bloodiest struggle in the
| history Of the world"
And TiIlman evidently believed what
| he said. He has no sympathy with
either the republican or the democratic
party, and the political lights of each
are his particular detestation. When
Tillman makes a political speech in the
senate his famous pitcffork is certain
to turn UP lot of stuff that will make
some ears Jingle.

7 1t In q row with his brother. Others
claim that in his boyhood he was so
studlous that he was in the habit of
taking a ''lightwood' knot at night
and going into the woods to study his
books by the Pickering fame. Con-
slant reading by this uncertain light
caused pulpy tumor to form on the
eye, completely destroying the sight.
Tillman allows the world to choose
on the subject.
T1llman is forty-nine years cid and
he has been married twenty-nine
years. He has six children, three of
whom can be called grown-up. He is
a great believer in the power of edu-
cation and he is giving his children
the best that he can. He has a won
derful memory and most cratic
store of facts at ready disposal. He
reads all the time without much sys-
TEN, but he remembers what he reads.
He is familiar with most of the elias
sizes. He has tumble of ancient and
modern knowledge which he filings into
his speeches with reckless abandon.
Every time he makes a speech he
tries to be quiet but sarcastic. But he
has no more control of himself than
steam engine running wild. He be-
comes boisterous and sarcasm gives
way to vituperation. But when he has
worked himself into a perfect frenzy
his mind is clear and the man who IN
dertakes to cTitiCise him will be imme-
diately enveloped in a cyclone of ora
torical lightning. He often falls into
profanity, but it is picturesque pro-
family. He doesn't swear like ordi-
nary people; in fact everything about
him is unusual
The day he was elected Senator Till
man said of Cleveland, When l get
into the United States senate I'll prod
that old bag of beef in the ribs with
my pitchfork and make him show up
something about these Wall street
DEALS
To mention Wall street to Senator
Tillman is akin to shaking a red rag
at a bull. He seems to believe that

tarlH question only. He is opposed to
protection because he argues that a
protective policy benefits the manu-
facturers and their employees, while it
makes the farmers pay more for their
needs without compromising them in
any way. In other words, he says
protection benefits the city at the ex-
pense of the country.
This latter perhaps forms the key
stone of Tillman's plan. His is a war
of the country against the town. He
is a revolutionist, and would have the
farmers dominate the cities He
claims that of the seventy millions OF
people in the United States probably
more than one-half are farmers. This
claim he uses as a justification Of his
own stand. He abominates the pro-
fessional politician, yet he is a poll
tician of no mean capacity himself.
He has the country folk of South Caro-
ina more completely under his thumb
than Tammary hall ever had the city
Of New York. The cultured people OF
the large cities in his native state de-
spise Tillman and hold up their hands
in holy horror at the mention of his
name. Those of the old regime take a
melancholy satisfaction in comparing
Tillman with Wade Hampton to show
the degeneracy of the times.
Tillman's career in the senate will
be worth the watching. He cannot be
suppressed unless his hot temper in
wolves him in quarrel with man
who can shoot quicker or WELD a
knife more surely than himself This
is no idle provision, for sooner or
later Tillman's propensity for personal
abuse is sure to involve him in many
rows. Besides he is a fighter and
comes Of fighting stock. Two of his
brothers died with their boots on in
personal encounters, a third was killed
in the battle of Chickamauga, and a
fourth was killed in the Mexican war
Tillman's eye was knocked out when
he was a boy. Some say that he lost

A SUMMER CONCERT,

King Summer gives a concert grand
Within his palace green,
Where all the fashion, rank and wealth
Of woodland may be seen.
The hall is painted green and brown,
the ceiling sapphire blue;
The floor is laid with carpeting
CT many a gorgeous hue.
Great artists true, and not a few,
Came f1ocking at his call,
And when the concerts over, twill
Be followed by a ball
sweet Robin sings a carol gay,
With many shake and trilI,
While Blackbird on his rustic pipe
Exhibits wonderous skill.
Tom Frog has brought his big from
bone,
Phil Woodpecker his drum:
And Linnets, t1ncnes, tiny Tits,
To swell the chorus come.
Jack Sparrow gaily struts about
With modest Jenny Wren;
Goou HdfSon Rook hopes wedding fees
And caws gruff Amen.
Queen Rose and Lily, Violet sweet,
And modest Harebell blue,
Pale Primrose, Daisy, Daffodil,
SpeedWell and WOodbine too.
A gay selection for the dance
The resting breezes play,
OF Waltzes, reels, and minuets,
Quadrilles, and polkas gay.
KING Summer sends you tickets all,
Postpaid to every part:
The court-dress needtul is a smile,
The price a merry heart.
And While all this is being done
IWould surely make one weep,
10 see that meath the rising sun
Our boys in bed a,leep!
Wake up! and hear the brides sing!
Come, join the concert grand;
And praise the everlasting king
Whose mercies fill the land.

FEW KNEW HE WAS MARRIED.
Marion Singer of the Comic Oper
Stage Widow of Architect Atwood.

Many of the friends of the late
Charles Bowler Atwood, one of the
most noted architects in this country,
who died in Chicago recently, are sur
prised to learn that he left a widow.
She is Marion Singer, who has been on
the opera stage for the last nine years.
Mr.. Atwood left a fortune of between
$500, 600 and 100000. He and his wife
separated in 1885, and only a few Of
Mr.. Atwood's most intimate friends
knew either before or since that time
of the marriage. The news has been
made public, strangely enough,
through the efforts of a detective at
White Plains, n. Y, to prove that Mr..
Atwood and Miss Singer had never
been married. Mr.. Atwood and Miss
Marion Singer were married on August
IS. 1881, in the church of the Trans
figuration in New York by the rector,
Rev. DR.. Houghton. James G. Gilmore
was the only witness. The groom's
father was David Atwood of Charles
town. and his mothers maiden name
was Lucy Bowler. Miss Singers
father was julius Singer of London,
Eng, and her mothers maiden name
was Wolfe.

BIG DEAL IN COAL LANDS.
George Gould Said to De Back Of a.
PUrchase in Illinois,

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Post TODAY
says: IAN extensive deal in Illinois
coal lands, embracing nearly 1000
acres, has been practically completed
by New York and Chicago syndicate.
representing two Of the largest railway
companies in the country The syndi-
cate has already obtained options on
10000 acres of coal land in the Grape
Creek district, everything a rich vein
containing not less than 10000, 900 tons
of bituminous coal. George Gould and
the Wabash road are said to be largely
interested in the deal, which threatens
the valuable interests of the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois road in coal freight
age from that district to Chicago. The
ostensible promoter of the deal, T. A.
Broughton, vice president of the Cres-
cent Coal and Mining company, and
manager Of the syndicate, has denied
that the Gould Or the Wabash road
is interested In the big deal, but the
denial may be withdrawn later, when
the last details of the work of secur-
ing control of this vast tract of rich
coal lands are completed. The names
of all capitalists connected with the
syndicate are being closely guarded
just at present, but it is known that
the deal involves the building of a new

Special to the Globe
VINING, Mimi, Feb. 11-There has
been no trouble with the wheat market
here this year, and the reason for the
open market is that there are no line
houses at this place, and that both of
the Independent buyers have bought or,
a margin that has never been more
than IL cents below the terminal mar
ket After deducting the commissions
at Duluth, IL cent; cent bushel rent
the buyers pay to the owners of the
houses, and the freight, s cents-yery
little profit is left, and the farmers
have paid this willingly.
The Farmers Wheat association
owns double-deck fiat house which
has capacity of 5000 bushels, and
the buyer is elected each year by vote
of the stockholders. If the stockholders
wish to ship their own grain direct, they
nave the use of bin for three DAYS
at the rate Of half a cent bushel
which sum is paid into the treasury of
the company. Then the buyer is al
lowed one cent a bushel for weighing.
loading and shipping the wheat and
handling the returns. There has been
a considerable quantity of wheat
shipped that way this season. and
about ninety carloads have been mar
keted altogether through this house
from the crop Of '95. Nearly all this
wheat graded No. 1 northern, and. as
cars were always available, there never
was more than four carloads of grain
In the house at any time. H. P. Berg
has been the buyer this season.
The other house is leased by A. r.
Lund, and has capacity Of Is, 900 bush
els. He has paid the same prices dur
ing the season as the farmers buyer
and, besides shipping out so, 900 bushels,
has $4,000 still in the warehouse. He
has bought wheat at No. 1 northern
and the grade has held out on every
