resemble English peas, and are
rich in nutriment. They thrive
well here, with very little atten-

nearly four wagon loads, although

THE SOUTH CARoLINA PRIMARY.

The result OF the senatorial primary
election i'm South Carolina argues well for
.he primary plan. The campaign was no
more lively and exciting than political
campaigns usually are I'm the Palmetto
-tate-and the best man won.
So far as we have been able TO learn
there was no hint of bribery or Of buying
votes The candidates for the United
States Senate went before the people ask
ing their votes. Just as candidates for any
other offices do. the people saw them and
selected between them. IL is very evident
that the people made no mistake in the
selection.
The primary plan is worth trying I'm Nir-
ginia. and IL found to be a good thing we
can hold TO il. and If not, we can drop it,
Danville Register
That's just it. We do not pretend to say
that the primary plan is perfect and we
have seen objections TO the plan as ope-
rated I'm South Carolina. But the oandi-
dates went before the people selected
whom they wanted and now the contest
IS ended once for all. That is the great
advantage which the primary plan has
over the present system. The people de-
eide these contests in snort order with
out having .hom drag along as a perptual
issue in the selection of members of the
Legislature Unless our system of popu-
lar elections is a failure there is no sound
argument against electlng Senators in
Congress by direct vote of the people.

The Hon. William J. Bryan has been
talking again. and is trying to make
his free silver theories harmonic with
existing conditions. His reasoning is truly
remarkable. and there is so much 20 be
said in behalf of his honesty and sinceri-
~. that we cannot but conclude from
the character OF his argument that he is
lacking in ability.
Here comes. for instance his first ut
torances for three months. in letter TO
the ST. Louis Post-Dspatch. in which ne
undertakes to show that the returning
prosperity Of which we see evidences all
around us is perfectly consistent with the
prophecies Of woe that he has been so
long worrying the country with. Listen
TO what he says
Wheat has risen because the foreign
crop has been exceedingly short. .
"The fact that silver and wheat have
parted company will cause TO dsmay to
those who understand that the law of
supply and demand regulates the price
OF both.
Nothing can better disclose the weak
ness Of the Republican position than the
JOY manifested boy the Republicans over
events for which their administration and
their politics are I'm no wise responsible
If the Republicans desire TO claim
credit for the high price Of wheat they
must assume the responsibility for the
famine I'm india.
This is 10y no means what Mr.. Bryan
has been telling us. lie has been telling
us that II the Government turned 81 IA
f,.f.. j.
on il that II was a dollar. and then made
II legal tender for dollar. that 70 was
in fact a dollar. as good as any other
dollar and that irrespective of any law
OF supply and demand. That has been
his position. and be must know that we
all recollect that IL was his position Now
he comes and tells US that the value OF
silver depends upon the law OF supply
and demand That is what this paper
thinks Wherein. then. do Mr.. Bryan and
this paper diner? Perhaps Mr.. Bryan
means that the value OF silver while in
bars IS determined by the law OF supply
and demand but that when the Govern
ment shapes a piece Of silver into a com
and stamps IL a dollar. this stamp has
given a new character 20 H. and its value
is no longer determined by the law Of
demand and supply bur by this stamp
We are much disposed TO think that this
is really what Mr. Bryan means. and. in
that case we ask n We are not justified in
saying tina, Mr.. Bryan is very weak
man?
And how utterly childish in his remark
that n the Republicans desire TO claim
credit for the rise IN wheat they must
assume the responsibility for the famine
IN India.
Nobody is claiming credit for the rise in
the price Of wheat. Wheat would have
risen In price II Mr.. Bryan had been
elected II Is now. say. one dollar a
bushel. II would have been. II he had
been elected. worth. say. two dollars a

Nortern newspapers are apt to find a
good deal of fault with our Southern
neighbors because OF their regard for
Judge Lynch. Our sarcasm is let loose.
and presumably we feel much better af-

II is refreshing to sec such an honest
statement as this in a Northern news
paper, We are uncompromisingly opposed

knows what he would do until his own
