Dorothy,s Questions.

Fifteenth street, who is already begin
ming to realize that life is not all beer
and sixties, says writer in the Washing
ton Post. She is a sturdy boisterous lit
tie midget, and is constantly corrected for
doing things that are not lady-like. She
likes to run, and romp, and shout, and
play all the games that her brothers play,
to the utter horror of her delicate, old
fashioned mother. I happened to be at
her home not long ago. Dorothy was
romping on the lawn.
Don't do that, Dorothy" called her
mother.
why not?" asked the child.
1T isn't lady-like."
"Why isn't it lady-like?" demanded the
little girl, and the mother, as mothers
do when cornered in that way, fell back
on her maternal authority, and told the
child to sit down and keep quiet. Dorothy
sat down and seemed in deep meditation.
After a few minutes she turned to me.

like?'

caused Dorothy great anxiety. She stood
at the mothers knee one day gently pat
ting the little head.
"Be careful, Dorothy" said the mother;
'you know poor little brother is sick. He is
cutting his teeth"
Dorothy patted the bald head reflective

him sick when he cuts his hair?"

MIR. Bryan,s Letter.

There is not so much interest felt in Mr..
Bryan's letter of acceptance as there
would have been had he not made
lengthy and carefully prepared speech in
Madison Square Garden. New York. when
he was officially notified Of his nominal
ton. In that speech he commented on the
chief features of the platform on which
he stands. There was therefore no occa-
sion for formal letter Of acceptance, and
the only reason probably that he has writ
ten letter of acceptance is that he prom
Used to do so; and, besides. 1t is the Gus
tom to write letter of that kind.
Mr.. Bryan touches briefly upon the de-
clarations of his platform. explaining and
commencing them. That he believes them
no one who studies his comments can
doubt. His earnestness and sincerity are
apparent throughout the letter. There
is. of course, very little that is new in
what he says, because it is about 1mpos-
sible to say anything new on subjects that
have been so long and so thoroughly dis
cussed. Still. II will be admitted that the
letter is a very creditable paper It shows
that Mr.. Bryan has very carefully consid-
cred the questions which are now before
the people for their consideration.
What he says on the immigration ques-
ton will be heartily approved If there
is one thing upon which 1t can be said
that public sentiment is very nearly all
one way, 1t is that we are getting too
many immigrants of a kind that is not de-
sirable. We want emigrants that are ca
ma HE of ,ainp a ssirniIatad uho coua IN
this country with the view of making it
their home and who are not only able to
take care of themselves and improve their
material condition, but who are willing
to accept our institutions and uphold and
defend them under any and all circum-
stances. We do not want, however the
criminals and paupers of Europe. Meth
er do we desire those who are ever ready
to make war on our institutions.
Mr.. Bryan says that the American peo-
pie do not approve the civil service law as
we now have it, We think he is mistaken
about that. Civil service reform was
adopted against the wishes of the politi-
clans. The democratic party proposed it
and the people gave it their hearty sup
port. 1Hey SdW the evils OI the SpOllS SyS-
tenn and desired to be rid of them. We
have yet seen no evidence that the people
want the civil service law repealed. Spells
seekers are against it but the great mass
of the people are for it.
Mr.. Bryan brushes the tariff question
aside, not because he thinks it of no i'm
portance but because he thinks the peo-
pie don't come to hear it discussed in this
campaign. Doubtless he is right about
that. Let Mr.. Mckinley have a monop-
oily of the tariff discussion.
We do not know whether Mr.. Bryan will
write other letters of acceptance or not
He was nominated by the silver party
and the populist party. The silver party
has notified him of it's action and the pop
ulist party will do so soon. If he writes
formal letters of acceptance in answer to
their notifications he will probably make
them short.

Divination in the Watermelon.

81 can read character by the way peo-
pie eat watermelon, too" said the young
woman who understood paImistry, ac-
cording to the New York Tribune.
Everybody at the table stopped eating
with a guilty air, and looked at the young
woman who understood palmistry "You, -
she said, to the young man at her right,
ARE a person of orderly habits. l know
because you make a clean cut of the
melon the whole length of the SLICE as
close to the rind as you intend to go, and
then begin at one end and take the melon
out in even blocks. And you," she went
on, turning to the man on the other side
of her, do just the reverse. You cut out
a cube here and an oblong there and it
leaves the remaining part looking rough
and jagged. 1 will venture to say from
that that your office desk is piled up with
letters and papers and books and one
thing and another two feet Deep
Then she looked across the table.
You" she said, always want the best
of everything and are not over-saving.
I cam tell that because you do not eat
your melon close to the rind. You leave
a good, wide margin of red on the green,
because you don't like that part of the
melon as well as the heart If you were
of frugal habits you would eat everything
down close to the green. AS for myself,
you can see that I show my prudence and
foresight by cutting off the heart first
and then keeping it to eat last, because
IL is the best part of the melon. The rest
of you don't think about that, and you
eat the best first and keep the poorer
part till the last. when you will not have
so good an appetite.
And such is the terror of being found
out, on the part of good and bad people
alike, that for the next week everybody
at that table tried to eat his watermelon
in some unusual way.

We are again informed that Capt. Gen.
Weyler has formed a new plan of
campaign, and that when 1t is put into
operation 1t will speedily end the war in
Cuba. We have heard so much of Wey-
ler's new plans that we no longer have
any confidence In them. The fact is, he
is a failure-a complete failure-and it is
strange that the Spanish government has
not already discovered that fact. He can
be depended upon to adopt harsh means
to suppress the Instruction but he has
not yet displayed any great ability as a
commander. His plan is now said to be
to form am overpowering military Gordon,
stretching across the island, corner the
insurgents and force them to fight a
pitched battle. The plan promises well
enough on paper, but how will 1t be in
practice?

We suggest that Chairman Jones look
sharply after Hon. Ben Tillman. In his
speeches in Pennsylvania he is speaking
of the party that framed the Chicago plat
form as a new party. What then has be-
come of the old democratic party? If SEN
ator Tillman isn't careful Chairman
Jones will repudiate him, as the reform
party in South Carolina appears to have
done Tillman without a party at home,
or elsewhere, would have nothing but his
pitchfork, and that is about all he will
have, before the end of his term in the
Senate.

The Defent of GOV. Ernn..


The defeat of Gov Evans in South Car
DINA for United States senator by Judge
Earle amounts TO a political sensation.
Naturally there is great rejoicing among
the opponents OF Tillmanism. Gov. Evans
was Senator Tillman's candidate. That was
well understood when the campaign for
the senatorship began. Senator Tillman,
however, said that he would not interfere
| in the contest. He took that position be-
cause he felt satisfied that it was under
stood that he wanted Gov. Evans chosen,
and that the entire Tillman element would
support him. If there had been a doubt
in his mind as to what the result would
be it is about certain he would have taken
the stump in Evans behalf. That this is
true is shown by his action when 1t was
found there had been no election in the
first primary. He came out in a letter
urging the election Of Gov. Evans, declar-
ing, practically. that the political move
ment he had inaugurated would receive
a deadly blow by the defeat of Evans.
Politicians in South Carolina are specu-
latng as to what the effect of the defeat
of Evans will be. 1t seems to be agreed
that the power of Senator Tillman has
been broken-that the defeat of Evans
was a defeat for Tillman, If that idea
is generally accepted, and it looks as if
1t would be, Tillman's followers will rap
idly fall away from him, and the political
machine he has built up will go to pieces.
His political career, instead of continuing
through a long period, as doubtless he
fondly hoped, will came to an end with
his term in the Senate.
1t has been intimated quite frequently
within the last few months that Senator
Tillman was losing his hold upon those
who have followed him almost blindly
| since he began his very remarkable polit-
ical course. The people accepted him as a
leader because there was some dissatis-
faction among them with the way the af-
fairs Of the state were being managed.
The farmers especially thought they had
grievances, and Mr.. Tillman made them
believe they had, and that he was the man
who could give them a state administra-
ton that would improve their material
condition.
They have been disappointed. They have
not discovered that Senator Tillman has
done aything for them. and they are
quite sure he has done a good deal for
himself He has filled the office of gov
ernor and is now senator, while they are
plodding along in the same old ruts. He
has used them as stepping stones to high
office and they are beginning to think it is
his purpose to continue to so use them,
giving them nothing in return. They have
become tired of the kind of speeches he
makes on the stump and in the Senate
speeches which reflect neither credit upon
himself nor the state. And, lately too,
there has been talk which, while it may
not be true, has put a suspicion in the
people mind that he is not the kind of
man they want as leader.
On fair trial OF strength Senator Till
man has been beaten and it is safe to say
that his days of bossism IN South Caro-
lima are practically over.

What we cannot understand is that Mr.

smile, Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Wright is the owner of national bank
stock. Will Mr.. Watson please rise and
explain? Why is a national banks presi-

while the owner of national bank stock is
a good man? 1t does look to those unini-

According to Mr.. Watson. every man at
the head Of a bank, a railroad, or who
owns bond is out Of touch with the peo-

the people while village lawyer is in

bond? Isn't a man who owns a bond lust
as much interested in the welfare Of the
country as the man who owns a farm or
a law library? II not, why not? The peo-
PIE who own the government bonds are
much more anxious for good government
and for the preservation of the govern
ment than those who go about the coun.
