The South Carolina state campaign has
come 10 a close. The primary election.
which win De conclusive as 70 state and
I county Offices. viii De held next Tuesday.
I in many respects the campaign has been
! one OF the most disgraceful ever carried
on in a southern state. Abuse, viilihca-
ton. fstIc encounters and scandals have
characterized IL.
What will De the effect Of the campaign?
i is a very black cloud that has no silver
lining. It seems TO US that one effect must
De the loOsening Of the grasp of the po-
uticaI agitator upon poor South Carolina
"a first step IN the decadence Of Tillmanism.
The voters Of south Carolina may be blind
ed temporarily by passion and prejudice.
But they are strong and sturdy men, and
have an abiding love for truth, honor and
justice. When they see that they have
been made the tools Of designing poiiti-
clans. they will turn upon these politi-
clans and force them back into the Obscur-
ity from which they emerged.
The good effects Of the dlsgraceful cam
paign viii probably not be seen in the re-
suits Of the approaching election. The
election IS too near at hand. The slate OF
the political ring bosscd by Senator Till
man will go through. John
Gary Evans viii be elected 70

he will not have the moral support Of his
constituents. He comes out of the joint
debates a much weaker man than
q
Tillman's powerful support he would fail
Of election TO the Senate But. as said. he
viii be elected. The lines have been drawn
and Tnlman is still strong enough to make
his will the law.
But the recent joint debates between the
candidates must have the effect Of remov-
ing the scales from the peoples eyes. They
must see that Tillman has set up more OF
an oligarchy in the state than ever existed
there before. even in the days Of the
Bourbons," before the war. They must see
that the state has become only the pocket
borough Of ring of self seeking politicians.
who have now reached the point of quar-
relng and fighting over the spells. Seeing
these things. unless they have forgotten
all of the traditions Of their fathers. and
lost all of their love of political liberty,
they viii take steps to put an end to
them.
The promise Of better things is even at
present held out in the personality of the
man who win be the next governor of the
state. Mr.. Euerbee is believed to be a pure
man. above political trickery, sincere and
honest In all matters. Through him the
state may be returned to that higher plane
of politics that obtained from Wade Hamp-
ton to Hugh Thompson. 1t is sincerely to
be hoped that such will be the case. 4,

Some Beresford Stories.

Beresford, according to the Strand Maya

twins-a boy and a girl-and he wanted
to call one Lord Charles Beresford

Brown" Lord Charles gave his permits
sion and obtained that of the princess.
Four months later the man wrote again:
Il am happy to inform you that Lord
Charles Beresford Brown is we'll and
strong, but that Princess of Wales
Brown died this morning.
Lord Charles is a man Of few words,
and those very much to the point Speak
ing in the House of Commons one day. in
reference to the Arab slave dealers, he
said, with great emphasis
Mr.. Speaker, we ought to catch these
men, give 'em a fair trial and then hang

ways been. Receiving an invitation to

A Freer water supply.

DIR. lie Hardys suggestion that water in
this city should be as free as circum-
stances will permit doubtless has the in
dorsement of every intelligent citizen out
side OF the city council. The
doctors suggestion is not new. how
ever. 1t is only restatement of the sem
timent that has prevailed ever since the
city has had a water supply. The belief
Of the people is that in this climate there
should be no obstacle put in the way Of
their using water freely.
The city council not only purposes to
limit the use of water supplied by the
city, but also to prevent the people from
boring artesian wells within the
city limits and supplying them
selves with water. The opening
of surface wells has already been
prohibited. 1t is doubtful if the legisla-
ture would enact law prohibiting peo-
pie from providing themselves with a sup
ply of pure water Stin, there is no tell
ing what that body would do If the local
representatives should insist upon such a
law and claim Legislative courtesy"
Making monopoly of supplying ships
with water does not promise well
for the commerce of the port.
Instead OF a monopoly it would be to the
interest of the city to supply water to
ships free, or at least at actual cost of de-
livery.
There is another feature of this water
question. 1t is this: Would it not be wen
for the city council to increase
the water supply by sinking four-inch
weils in the public squares and attach
MIGRANTS to them for the use of the
fire department and the public? Artesiar
wells along River street also would be
Of great advantage to the shipping, tn,
Gre department and the thirsty public.

Following, says the Chicago Tribune. is
the detailed description of the terrible
fight between Senator Quay and an enor-
nous tarpon off the coast of Florida the
other day:
Round l. At the call of time the two
faced each other. Both were in splendid
condition. The senator's superior reach
was fairly counterbalanced by the tar
pons greater weight and activity. The
senator kicked the beam at 149 and the
tarpon tipped the scales at 263. Tarpon led.
Quay exceedingly cautious. Tarpon led
again. Quay countered neatly on the jaw.
First blood claimed and allowed for Quay.
Round 2 Long distance fighting. Tar
pom ran all around the ring, Quay after
him. Quay tries to land. but fails.
Round 8. Quay smiling and confident.
Tarpon plainly worried. Quay made an
other attempt to land, but missed. Tarpon
turned tail and ran again. Bets Of two to
one offered on Quay.
Round L. Substantially a repetition of
preceding round. Quay confident but some
what winded. Turns eagerly to bottlehold-
er for relief
Round g. Quay led for the jaw. Tarpon
was game Tarpon fought desperately.
Quay reeled. Even money offered on tar
pom.
Round 6. Quay slightly groggy, but
smiling. TarpOn rushed. quay met MIN
promptly and a rapid exchange of blows
followed Quay appeared to get his second
wind. Tarpon was plainly becoming dis
tressed.
Round T. Quay attempted to gill his adj
versary. Cries of Foul" and Good boy,
Quay Give it to him.
Round s. Quay started in to finish the
fight Quay chases his antagonist all
about the ring. Tarpon tries a rush, but
fails.
Round 9. Tarpon makes another rush,
but his strength is gone Quay has out
winded him. Quay finally lands, and the
fight is over
Considerable mnoey is believed to have
changed hands on the result. Quay claims
the tarpon championship, and will meet
all Corners. bar none.

VIII Mr. Watson be notified Of his nOmi-
nation for Vice PRESIDENT This question
is being asked. and as yet no satisfactory
answer has been given. Senator Butler.
the chairman OF the pOpulist campaign
committee. IS quoted as saying that no
decision has yet been reached as TO wheth-
er 1Ir. Watson will be notified OF not. He
says fl is not an unusual thing for the
popuiists 10 omit notifying their candi-
dates. and he intimates that 3Ir. Watson
may never know oficially that he was
named by his party as its candidate for
Vice President.
Mr. Watson may not take kindly TO. this
programme Of the leaders Of his party. It
certainly is not just 10 him to omit Civ
ing him the opportunity TO write letter
saying whether he accepts OF not and to
express his views on the platform on
which he was nominated.
It may be said that Mr.. Bryan has
not been notified Of his nomination by the
populist party. Mr.. Bryan, however. Oc-
cupies a position vastly different from that
Of Mr. Watson. He looks upon the &C
ton Of the populst convention in his
case doubtless as an Endorsement Of his
candidacy. He is the candidate Of one
Of the two great parties of the country,
and has been notified Of his nomination
by that party. He is. therefore. regularly
before the people. Mr.. sewall. the demo-
cratic nominee for Vice President, has
also been notified.
Mr. Watson is left in the dark as to
what the intentions Of the leaders Of his
party are. AS far as the public knows,
these leaders may be hoping and plan
ming to get him to retire from the populist
ticket If they want fusion with the dem
ocrats and desire Mr.. Watson to step
aside so they can carry out their pro-
gramme with greater prospect Of sue
cess, they ought to say so frankly. Mr.
Watson is certainly entitled to fair and
frank treatment. 1t is hardly just for
the leaders to let him remain in ignorance
of their purpose until it is too late for
him TO take any steps to protect his own
interests.
The efforts which Mr.. Watson is max
ing to get MIR. sewau off the democratic
ticket show how intense his desire is to
get into Mr.. sewalrs place. These efforts,
in view Of the fact that there is not the
least probability of Mr.. sewalrs retire
ment. border on the pathetic. In yester-
days issue of Mr.. Watson's paper tho
following appears in an editorial article:
But If Mr. Arthur Sewall remains on the
democratic ticket after the exposure of
the designs of the association Of which
he is president, the people will be justi-
fed in believing that, beneath the pop
ullst planks Of the Chicago platform and
the free silver eloquence OF Mr.. Bryan,
turks the deliberate deception and the
deep-laid plan of those who fatten on
class legislation"
Neither the foregoing attack on the
democratic party, nor any other attack
which Mr.. Watson may make win give
him Mr.. SewalIs place on the democratic
/ ticket Mr.. Watson cannot have that
place The populist leaders, however,
ought to let Mr.. Watson know what their
purpose in regard to him is-whether or
not they intend to give him loyal sup
port. The first step in that direction is
to notify him of his nomination.

Movement of Gold.

The announcement in New York on We'd
nesday that gold to the amount of 100000
had been engaged in London for shipment
TO this country had a bouyant effect in
financial circles in that city. 1t seems
that the low rate Of sterling exchange per-
mitted the making of this shipment The
rate Of exchange is not low enough, how
ever. to permit of the importation of gold
at profit.
This importation of gold is said to be
a regular business transaction. The rate
Of interest in London is remarkably low
and it is high in New York. The reason it
is high in New York is probably that a
great deal of money has been sent to the
interior to assist in moving the crops, and
a vast amount has been Withdrawn from
the banks by persons who are boarding
it--persons who are looking for a recur-
renee of conditions like those that existed
in 1898 when the banks would pay out no
money and currency commanded a pre-
MUM Another reason may be that banks
are not paying out greenbacks and treas
ury notes because notes of that kind can
be used 10 draw gold from the treasury.
But whatever the causes of the tight
ness of money, it is certain that gold is
being imported. and the importauons are
having a good effect in financial and COM
mercial circles.
