Washington, April 21.-Repre-
sentative McLaurin was the host at q
luncheon given at the Capital to-
day in honor of Mrs. Tillman, the
wife of the junior Senator. The 9TH
er guests were Representative and
Mrs. Latimer and Miss Mary Evans,
the sister of Governor Evans, who is
visiting Mrs. Latimer. Some of the
South Carolinians are attaching some
political significance to the event, al
though it appears that it was purely
a courtesey to Mrs. Tillman and her
friends, who were sightseeing at the
Capitol. However, in view Of the re-
cent manifestations of friendliness
between Senator 1'illman and Repre-
sentative McLaurin there is consid-
cradle speculation on the subject.

CHICAGO EXPOSITION.

The recent convention in Spartan
burg held for the purpose OF having
South Carolina properly represented
at the Chicago exposition next August
was a great success and will bring
forth good fruit. 1t was a convention
of business men for business pur-
poses and had it not been for the
chronic malice of Mr.. Gonzales edi-
tor of the State, towards Governor
Evans, the convention would have
done its work without politics being
hinted al, but Mr.. Gonzales would not
have it so. he opposed the election
Of Governor Evans as president OF
the committee and although he pro-
tested that it was not on account OF
politics, he did not seem to convince
anybody to his way OF thinking, The
editor Of the State was Justly and
properly rebuked by Mr.. Tillinghast,
and the convention endorsed him.
We hope this State will raise the
necessary sum of money to make
a fine exhibit and we hope all of her
citizens will enter the work with a
will. South Carolina has plenty Of
good things to induce people to come
here to seek, and the way to get them
here is to advertise them. We may
have our political differences, but
when it comes to the business interests
of the State We are one people and
should all put our shoulders to the
wheel for the States welfare and
prosperity. We want to see every
county stirred up in this matter and
in every town public meetings called
for the purpose Of showing the peo-
pie the advantage q good exhibit
at Chicago. Ftom Clarendon
We can send woods of every descrip-
ton, and the finest tobacco that grows
in the United States; there is no rea-
son why Clarendon can not have one
of the most attractive exhibits at the
exposition.

The question is constantly being
asked US "What is McLaurin going to
be q candidate for?" and our answer
is that he has not as yet announced
his intention of being candidate for
anything. He has always been call
ed for by the people and we think if
they believe he has made them a
faithful representative, they should
indicate in a formal manner their de-
sire that he should again represent
them. McLaurin is not an Office
seeker, but he is man of the people
and he is always ready to respond to
their demands and wishes.

The gold-standard Democrats have
recently prevented the election OF 8
silver Democratic Senator in Ken
tucky. Now the question is, must
the silver Democrats turn tie other
cheek? OF is the action of the gold
men sufficient excuse for silver
Democrats to refuse to support 8
gold-stapdard candidate for lresi-
dent? The people alone can answer.

LLiS SouIVL 10 Aoo OAO Va iOsCuuC
If twice as much revenue were col.
lected as is now paid into the Treas,
ury, it would have little or no effect
on the outflow of gold. Gold is not
demanded at the Treasury for in.
ternal use, where other currency
serves every purpose just as we'll as
gold, and is more convenient. Gold
is wanted to pay debts abroad where
other currency cannot be used. 1t
would therefore be the height of folly
now that $25O,O00,0O0 have been put
into the Treasury to lay there idle, to
add to this idle hoard by increased
taxation.
One thing more: It is not because
of the existence of greenbacks that
gold goes out of the country. It
would 60 outjust as quickly and just
as certainly if banknotes took the
place of greenbacks. Nor would it
make eny difference to the business
interests of the country whether the
gold that went abroad was gathered
first in the Treasury and was then
taken from there, or went directly
from the banks. The question OF
the gold standard is at bottom a
question of price levels and nothing
else; and price levels do not depend
on who issues the paper currency, or
on whether the volume is made up
OF bank notes or of Treasury notes.
Keep this in mind. To main
tain the gold standard prices
in the United States must 90
to the lowest level of prices in other
gold standard countries, and if prices
must go to that level wages must go
there also.

AY HAVE BEEN THE RUBBER MAN.
Serious Charge Made Against a
Clcrryman mt Rochester,.

Rochester,, n. Y, Dec. 25.-The case
of Rev. David Kirkpatrick, pastor of
the Second Universalist church of this
city. who was arrested on the charge
of imoersonating an officer of the law,
continues to be the topic of conv.rsa-
tion. According to the police, how
ever, a much more serious accusation
will probably be made against the rev.
erend gentleman, whom they suspect
of being no other than the so-called
rubber man" who for some months has
been q terror to unescorted women at
ter nightfall in the northwestern part
of the citv
1t was the habit of this person to
roam the streets clad in u long rubber
coat, slippers and slouch hat, and ac-
cost and in many cases follow as far
as their doors any woman he met.
Though frequently pursued by indig-
nant husbands and brothers. the fel-
low invariably managed to elude pur-
suit. Policemen in plain clothes We're
detailed to catch him, but SO cautious
We're his movements that he never ap-
peared except when assured that he
could approach his victims without
fear of interference.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick was arrested on the
complaint of Mrs. Annie Adwen, who
COmplalneu tnat he Hau Oh nuiileIouS
occasions accosted her on the street
after dark. The clergyman admitted
the accusation, but made the eXtraordi-
nary excuse that he had similarly ac-
costed about twenty-five other women
for the purpose of obtaining matter for
a course Of sermons which he pro-
posed to preach upon the subject of
violation of the seventh commandment
He Indignantly denied that he was
guilty of any of the offenses charged
against the rubber man."
The police, however, declare that
they are in possession a3knformation
which justifies them in supecting that
he Is indeed the night prOwler who for
so many months has been a terror to
the women of Rochester They scout
the idea that the preacher was honestly
influenced by the desire to CLEAN ma
terial for his sermons.
The affair has caused great excite
ment in the city. Kirkpatrick's repu-
tation is good. He has been pastor
of the Second Universalist church for
three years. He was formerly in
charge of the Congregational churches
at Grass Lake and Carson Valley.
Mich. In 1892 he was accused of her
esy. The ministers Of the association
in which his charge was located decid-
ed that he was guilty. Kirkpatrick
then resigned from the Congregational
denomination and embraced the Uni
VersaliSt faith.
