PFyROsE NOMINATED

At p. AZ. the Republican members
Of the two houses met in the hall Of the
house in joint caucus for the nomination
Of United States Senator. Senator Grady
presided. Speaker Boyer nominated Bois
Penrose in a fulsome speach. Senator
Kaufman Of Lancaster Co. nominated
John Wanamaker. The nominations we're
seconded our members, Messrs Moore
Dindinger voted for Wanamaker, but the
vote stood Pearose 1873, Wanamsker 70.

The south caroIina senatorshIp.

L has been officially announced
that the governor of South Carolina will
appoint CONGRESSMAN McLaurn TO be the
successor ad interim TO Senator Earle.
The commission viii hold until the meet
lug OF the legislature next winter. But
the matter Of the successorship to the un-
expired term will be settled long before the
meeting OF the legislature. The primary
plan Of selecting federal senators has
been adopted in South Carolina. and 1t is
probable that the state democratic exc
cutive committee viii shortly issue a call
for the primary election. In anticipation
Of the primary. there will be canvass
by the candidates Should it be ordered
that the election be held in the summer
or the early fan. the canvass would start
within few weeks. There are thirty
eight counties in the state. and one or
more speeches would be made in each of
them, so that it would require six or eight
weeks to complete the campaign.
Our dispatches indicate that there will
be half a dozen or so candidates in the
race among them Congressman McLau-
rim. who is to get the adj interim appoint
the political pupil Of Senator Tillman; G.
Duncan Bellinger VINO came into prom
inence some time ago as the prosecutor
OF the Broxton bridge lynchers; w. D.
Evans, who made bet with the governor
and claims to have won horse which
he was not abe to keep, and John T.
Duncan, who did as much as any man
f,, T1I-,
from capturing the senatorship plum last
winter. This list probably does not in
clude more than half of the number of
candidates that will come into the open
as time passes. 1t is sufficient, however
to make it clear that the campaign will
be red hot.
Ii is practically certain that the dis
pensary institution will be ventilated dur
ing the canvass. John T. Duncan made
his fight on ex-Gov. Evans last fall upon
the dispensary matter alleging that the
ex-governor knew a lot about rebates
which he would not tell. 1t is said Evans
kept quiet upon the advice of Senator
Tliman, and that since that time he has
been anxious to tell all he knows and JUS
tify himself before the people. This can
vass will give him an opportunity to do
so. When Evans, who is a protege of
Tillmans, was defeated, it was regarded
as an affront to Tillman himself; therefore
Tillman may take the stump in Evans
behalf in order to secure "vindication"
through Evans election. Duncan, it is
said. viii be on the stump, not so much
in the hope of securing the election him
self as TO prevent Evans from getting
it. In this effort he may have able as
sstance; and in this lies the probability
of a particularly hot, spicy, racy can
vass.
There is some talk of entering one or
more conservative democrats in the race.
But probably nothing more than talk
will come of the proposition. The sue
cessful candidate viii no doubt be a men,
Der of the reform faction, which still
control the situation.

the cock went on growing is not recorded,

he forgot the wretched bird until late in

The somewhat common opinion in this
country, that Gen. Weyler is so busy
butchering innocents in Cuba that he has
not time TO do anything e.se is erroneous.
This is made plain by an interview with
him which appears in the New York Jour-
nal, the Philadelphia Press and other
newspapers of this country From this
interview it is TO be seen that Gen. Wey-
Ter is not only a student of the constitu-
ton of the United States. and of the rela-
tive powers of the executive and legisla-
tive branches of the government. but he
has also picked up a number of Amer
icanisms" in the way of expressing opin-
ions. Your jingoes are in the saddle"
says he. Would anybody ever suspect a
Spaniard Of using such a distinctly United
States figure of speech? That he used
it at all might have been doubted. If it
had not appeared in the newspapers men,
toned. The belligerency resolution. he
says, is fragrant usurpation of execu-
tive power" Probably he is right. But
does not the language sound much more
ike that Of an anti-administrauon sena-
tor than Of a Spanish general who has
spent his life in SPAIN the Philippines and
Cuba, earning the title of "the butcher?"
Gen. Weylor further goes on to say, ac-
cording TO the interview, that the Senate $
action removes the mask and reveals Uncle
SANS hypocrisy, and that, despite Presi-
dent Mckinleys fair promises, Uncle Sam
has played the hypocrite a number of times
recently He says also that the adoption
of the belligerency resolution by congress
and the President would relieve Spain of
responsibility, in that it would abrogate
certain treaties with the United States.
and would, further, give Spain the right
to search suspected American vesse.s upon
the high seas. For these and other rea-
sons Gen. Weyler. according to the inter
view, would rather like TO see the bellig-
erency resolution passed and made effec-
tive by the President.
Upon the whole the interview reads very
much as If il had come from some Cuban
sympathizer who wrote il for the purpose
OF stirring up bad feeling in this country
against Spain and Capt. Gen. Weylcr But
that cannot be- OF course. since it is dated
"Cienfugos, Cuba, May p, via Key West.

Mckinney an Opportunist.

It seems to be impossible 60 get any wen
defined idea with regard to the present or
prospective policy Of the President in the
Cuban matter. The reports which come
from sources close to the President" are
so contradictory and confusing that it is
evident that none Of them Is to he ac-
cepted as conclusive From one source it
is heard that the insurgents are TO be re-
cognized shortly from another that the
President win do whatever congress di-
reefs. and from another that he will take
the bit in his teeth and run to suit his
own notions
Now. the question arises. has he got any
notions of his own with regard to Cubae
II he has, he has with splendid diplomacy
kept them well concealed. 1t has
been charged by democratic
senator that the President has
no Cuban policy further than
to make the most of the present in be-
half OF his party; that he is an opportun-
ist leaving tomorrow to take care OF it,
self and acting only upon the events of
to-day. When he does one thing he is I'M
certain what 10 do next. and as a conse-
quence does nothing until something
turns up to force the next step. Matters
seem TO have neither progressed nor re-
trograded since the President sent his col
orless little message to congress asking
an appropriation for the suffering Amer
leans" in Cuba.
That view of the matter, however seems
rather harsh. It is well enough to give
the President a little more time, and to
credit him with a policy. It may be that
he is keeping that policy hidden in order
to prevent congress from spelling it, When
he gets congress off his hands. he may do
something. 1t would probably be taking
risks to place a common sense Cuban pol
icy where the Senate could get a shot at
it. 1t is understood that Speaker Reed
has agreed to hold up the Cuban affair
for time. probably in order to
give the President a chance to
think. If the speaker can hold it up for
sufficient time and pressure can be
brought to bear upon the senators suffi-
cient 10 induce them to hurry up the tar
IN legislation, the President may get con-
gress off his hands and take up the Gu
ban matter some time about midsummer

Greased PIC in socletv.

Not since the time when Mr.. Higin

Chicago society enjoyed itself so much as
it did the other day when it chased and
tried to hold a creased pig. Chicago So
ciety had heard of creased pig before.
from its forbears who used to attend the
county fairs; but it never tried one until
the other day when the swell Saddle and
Cycle Club gave a blowout at Edge
water. Mr. Joseph Letter, brother-in-law
of the Hon. G. n. Curzon, under secre-
tary for foreign affairs of the British gov
eminent, and r. Hall Mccormick, to-
gether with other gentlemen of Chicago
swell society, are members of the club.
and engaged in and enjoyed the chase OF
the pig. while their wives and their sis
ters and their cousins and their aunts
looked on.
The pig was a fine young specimen from
the stock yards, guaranteed to be strong
on his feet and sprightly. He was creased
until he was as sleek as a Cook county
politician. II is not so stated, but pre-
suTnably he was CREASED with scented vas
cline, as a concession to the refined olfac-
tories of the pig-chasers. When his pig
ship was released from his cage he was
confronted by Messrs. Letter Mccormick
and other young society men clad in blue
jumpers and brilliant golf stockings. The
young fellows slapped piggie's sleek sides
by way of suggesting that he get a move
on. and then tried to grab and hold him.
OF course pigge slipped through their
hands; and the young men roared with
laughter, and the maids and matrons
Joined in the ordinations. 1t was aw-
fully funny. Society declared II to be
great. And when the chasers had run
pigge into Lake Michigan. and had ac-
cumulated a liberal supply OF greasy dirt
upon their hands and clothes, they voted
the sport simply immense. The proba-
bilities are, therefore, that Chicago so
ciety's entertainment cards hereafter will
contain fewer cotillions and card parties
and teas, and more creased pigs. Win
New York and Boston and Philadelphia
have the courage to follow Chicago's lead?
They must do IL, or yield the palm OF
leadership to the Windy City.

Whose business Is It to water and care
for the grass plats along the sidewalks?
The question is especially timely. taking
into consideration the condition OF the
plats along the Castor street sidewalks.
The grass is whitening and dying for lack
Of moisture. The househo.ders. however.
do not feel disposed TO have water for the
grass run through their meters and charg-
ed up against them. Before the meters
were put In. householders took considcra-
bile pains with the grass, and kept it in
hourishiug state. Now, however they
are using only so much water as is noces-
sary for household purposes. il would
probably be worth while FOR the park ana
tree commissioners to take some steps to
give the CASTOR street grass a little water
occasionally.
