Irnnrnnce or Whntf

Just as the ceremonies at the Confeder-
ate monument were being brought to a
close yesterday, when the last hymn was
being sung. a colored military company,
said to have been the Chatham Light In
fantry, marched into the parade ground.
At the head of the company brass band
was playing. The music Of the band
drowned the voices of the singers. 1t IS
charitable to suppose that the commander
Of the company had no better sense of
propriety than to intrude on such an oc-
CASTOR.
The parade ground has been fenced in for
the use of the committees of the Inter
State Military Association, and at
this time is under their control. No one
has a right there without their permits
sion. In the next place it will be just as
well for the colored military to know that
the parade ground is under the control
of certain of the military organizatio
Of this city, and its use by the colored
soldiers is simply by permission.
The colored people have used the parade
ground for their military celebra lions
without interference. If during one OF
their celebrations a white military COM
pany had marched on the ground they
would have regarded it as an unwarrant-
ed intrusion.
1t is very probable that the captain of
the Chatham Light Infantry will be called
to account by the state military board
for his conduct NO such outrage on de-
cency as yesterdays occurrence should be
permitted to pass unnoticed.

MIC 1. Mr. CrI.n siIentf

Why Is it that NIr. Crisp makes no re-
sponze 10 the proposition submitted 70 him
by Mr.. duBignon few days ago-the pro-
position that they join IN asking the coan-
ties 10 hold a senatorial primary IN Octo-
Der? Does he intend TO ignore the PROPOSE
tion? We are confident that he has had
his attention called TO It. The fact that
he has not publically taken notice Of Il
is attracting much attention. II is natural
that il should.
No one can forget that Mr.. Crisp and
his newspaper organs have been
loud in their demands that
the people shall name the senatorial
candidate. When they have been making
this demand they have asked whether
those who are opposed to Mr.. Crisp are
afraid Of the people.
It begins 10 look as Mr.. Crisp were afraid
Of the people. It is apparent now shat only
a portion of the counties viii have a SEN
atorial primary in June, and besides the
vote at the June primary viii be small in
comparison with the vote that will be cast
in October. If an expression of the people
is wanted the time to get it is in October.
not in June.
AS far as we can see there is no argu-
ment in favor of a senatorial primary in
June. The state executive committee pos
itively refused Mr.. Crlsp's request TO or
der a senatorial primary at that time, and
Mr.. Crisp's senatorial opponent, Mr.. du-
Bignon. declines TO agree TO a primary at
that time. Mr.. duBignon does not pur-
pose urging his candidacy If the national
democratic convention does not declare in
favor Of sound money. Why then should
he go into a primary on June when he
may cease TO urge his candidacy a few
days thereafter. Besides. II a senatorial
candidate is to be chosen by the people he
wants the choice made at a time when the
great majority of the people will be at the
polls.
What reasonable objection can Mr.. Crisp
have to a senatorial primary in October?
Can anybody think OF a reason except
that he is afraid of the people? Even his
organs fail to defend his failure to accept
Mr. duBignons proposition. If he is not
afraid of the people he has a chance now
to show he is not.

The Venezuela Dispute.

Nobody outside Of Official circles seems
10 know the exact status OF the Venezue-
land AFFAIR. From Washington comes the
report that the Venezuelan commission
will not make a report before next De
cember. and. therefore. the Venezuelan
complication will cut no figure in the pres
dental campaign. From London comes
two reports-one 10 the effect that there
is a deadlock in the negotiations in re-
spect TO the Venezuelan dispute which
have been occupying the attention OF our
government and that OF Great Britain for
several months. and the other is that Lord
Salisbury's refusal to submit the dispute
TO arbitration IS creating so much feeling
against the ministry that he may consider
il advisable TO resign on the plea OF i'll
health. II is, Of course. impossible to say
what the truth is. There is. however, no
doubt that there is a growing feeling in
England in favor Of arbitration. The
English people don't want a war with the
United States on any account. and partie-
ularlty on account of a boundary line in
Venezuela.
In the meantime. Mr.. Smalley. the New
York correspondent of the Lon
don Times, is causing some I'M
easiness in England by his dis
patches. He seems to think the situa-
tion is an exceedingly grave one-that war
between the United States and Great Brit
ian is a strong probability.
OF course. Mr. Smalley. knows nothing
about the matter, and his gloomy dis
patches are the result probably of the
failure of either the government at Wash
ington or that of Great Britain to pay
any attention TO what he says, or to give
any sign that it is aware of his existence.
Like Mr.. Norman. of the London Chroni-
Gle, who came to this country a few
months ago as a sort of self-appointed
commissioner to settle the Venezuelan dis
pute, Mr.. Smalley seems to have the idea
that if the lines marked out by him were
followed the trouble would be settled very
quickly. Both Mr.. Norman and Mr.. Small
ley may not have an appreciation of them
selves greater than their merits, but the
powers that be don't seem to have any
need for their services. We may reason
ably expect, therefore, a continuance of
Mr.. Smalley's gloomy predictions until it
is definitely known from an authoritative
source just what the actual situation is.

Times Have Changed.

The personal encounter between Con-
gressmen Money of Mississippi and Hall
of Missouri. which occurred a few DAYS
ago in a committee room at the national
capitol was only a days sensation. one
or two Of the newspaper correspondents in
their accounts of the affair suggested that
it would be followed by duel probably,
but they did not expect anything of the
sort. Their suggestion Of a duel was
made simply to make their account of the
affair more sensational. They knew there
was no sentiment either at Washington or
elsewhere that would sustain a duel.
Times have changed. Had an affair like
that between Messrs. Money and Hall oc-
Cured before the war of secession duel.
would have been inevitable. The princi-
pals themselves would have felt that pub
lie sentiment required a meeting with
deadly weapons, and they would doubtless
have yielded to that sentiment
As late as 1879, the late Justice Lamar
seemed to hold the opinion that in the
south affairs Of honor" were not always
avoidable, but later in life, as public senti-
ment strengthened against dueling his
views appears to have undergone consid-
cradle modification. His biographer, Ed
ward Mayes, LII. D., says he did not fail
to recognize the fact that there was a
higher law than the code. HE conceded
says Mr.. Mayes, frankly and fully that
every man has a right to repudiate it.. es-
pecially if he be a Christian" When he
was a senator he said to a young friend,
who was anticipating an insulting assault,
and who, being pious man, was in doubt
as to the course he ought to pursue should
he be required to make a choice: IF that
misfortune should visit you stand by your
convictions. Every Christian-every true
man, even if he is not Christian-has a
right to live his own life and to stand upon
truly brave man will now respect him less
for doing so. The sentiment of the world
has changed in that respect, even here in
the south"
And it is a good thing it has changed. If
the old sentiment prevailed Mr.. Money and
Mr.. Hall would feel compelled to respond
to it, and one or the other of them might
be removed from his sphere of usefulness.
Now neither is called upon to pursue
further the trouble which resulted in mis-
understanding and sudden passion. and
neither is thought less of by anybody for
not pursuing it further. The whole matter
will have passed out of the public mind
before Mr.. Money is ready to resume his
public duties.

The posses AgnInst McKin1ex,

The prospect for Mckinley doesn't look
so bright as it did couple of weeks ago.
Most of the republican bosses and all
the other candidates and their friends
have combined to defeat his nomination.
They haven't selected any one whom
they VIII support. Their only idea now
is to defeat the nomination of Mckinley.
and it begins to look as If they would
succeed.
The director of the combination is said
to DE Quay, of Pennsylvania, who is by
all odds the shrewdest politician in the
republican party, if not in the country.
He accomplishes what he undertakes. His
admirers say of him that he has an I'M
broken record for success as a politi-
cal manager.
1t is noticeable that the instructions
for Mckinley have not been quite so num-
erous lately. And another thing is no.
ticeable. The financial planks in the
platforms that the republicans have been
adopting in their state conventions are
stronger for sound money than the finan-
cial plank in the Ohio platform-the one
that Mckinley is said to have dictated.
This change in the character of the finan-
cial planks means that an effort is going
to be made to rule Mckinley out on the
ground that he is not sound on the money
question.
These and other signs Indicate that Nc
Kinley will have to be extremely watch
full or his boom will burst before he
gets it to the national convention.

of the populist party in this state to have
democratic senatorial primaries in June
in as many counties as possible If the
populists themselves had been casting
about for a scheme to diminish the demo-
cratic vote in October they could not
have struck upon a more promising one
than this June senatorial primary one.

advancement than in the success of the

selling their quotas of garden seeds given

great many more who would still be
