The Passing of TiIImanisme

From the very violence of the case OF
'Tillmania" which attacked South Caro-
lima politics six or eight years ago. 1t was
TO be expected that there Would be a re-
action before very great while. Numer-
GUS Incidents of recent occurrence in the
Palmetto state seem to indicate that the
reaction is already well advanced, and
that the days Of Senator Til.man's boss
ism are numbered. The very forces which
Tillman used to build up his movement
and boost himself into virtual dictator
ship are now being turned against him.
His former Heutenants and strongest sup
porters are becoming his open and bitter
enemies. And While he Is losing these old
friends, he is not making any new ones
He is not an attractive man. Heretofore
he has been able to rule through fear
and the promise of reward. Once his par
Gsan Heutenants learn not to fear him,
and lose confidence in his ability to re-
ward them. his power viii be hopeless
ly broken.
First evidences of a considerable change
in political sentiment were to be seen in
the selection Of Elerbee for the governor
ship. EHerbee is a "reformer," but he is
conservative. He is the opposite of his
predecessor, who was an intense partisan.
The selection Of the peace-maklng con-
servative to succeed the strife-stirring rad
ical was the first straw to show the drift
OF the wind.
The Evans-Earle senat orlal campaign
was the next straw. In that campaign
Senator T1llman exerted himself to secure
the election OF Evans his favorite and
political pupil. He threw the whole
weight of his influence In the scale on
Evans side, but the people elected Earle.
who had been a conservative" and oppos-
ed Tillman on the stump. Then came the
Evans-McLaurin campaign, with its SEN
sational incidents, including the open re-
bellion of ex-senator Irby, who matched
THman," and the final land second) de-
feat of the senior senator's favorite. These
matters are too fresh in the minds of the
people to be more than referred to.
Upon the heels Of them, however, comes
the Information that the Sixth congress
sional district will repudiate Tillmanism,
in the election of a representative to take
walton to the Senate. The first primary
was not conclusive, but Johnson, a strong
and-Tilamnite, received a plurality of
the votes cast, and will unquestionably
receive a majority upon the next ballot.
And still further. Gov. Ellerbee has an
nounced that on Oct. ] next, he will re-
move all of the state dispensary consta-
bles and depend upon the local authori-
ties TO enforce the dlspensary law. This
constabulary force was organized as a
part of one Of the biggest political ma
chimes ever formed in the south. 1t was
one of Senator Tillman's hobbies. At one
time the constables enjoyed power
hardly equaled by that of the Russian Sc
cret police. They shot down citizens and
were pardoned before they could be taken
to jail.
These several Incidents, besides minor
ones of similar suggestiveness. induce the
belief that Tillmanism has about run it's
course, and that there is dawning a
brighter and better day for South Caro-
lima.

Gov John w. Leedy, when a boy lost a
tooth in the front of his mouth, and, boy
like, he practised splitting through the va
cancy i'll such a scientific manner that he
was the envy of all the boys in the neigh
borhood, says the Kansas City Times
Last year he went down to Wichita dur.
ing his campaign, and among others who
went to near him was an influential and
very liberal republican named Garst.
after the meeting was over somebody
asked Garst what he thought of it. Garst
made the surprising announcement that
lie would vote for him.
Why" sad his friend.
"Becauce," said Garst, "a man that can
spit like he does can't help being a gooi
fellow. l used to spit like that myself
When l was a lad"
The next day Garst threw off his coat
and vent to work for Mr.. Leedy, and he
converted more republicans than any other
man.
A Times correspondent told Mr.. Leedy
how his eXpectoraurg science got him the
votes referred 10.
1T was funny" said the governor
"how l lost that tooth, but never
thought the accident would help to make
me governor. 1t wasn't so funny then
as it seem to me now. 1 had a chum
next door that was great, big, leather
head boy that was always accidentally but

ents and his parents, living next door,
dug a well on the line of the lots ana

day my mother sent me for a pail OF
water, and by some providenual arrange
ment the ether mother sent the leather
headed boy on the same mission.
What then?'
wen, the leather-headed boy told me
he had a great trick. He put two bar
rel slaves in the ground and then put a
broom handle across them. He got an ak to
fit the broom handle, and asked me to
watch close and See it fly in the air 1 guess
I watched a little too close, for when he
swung the ak he swiped me in the teeth
with the pole or it and knocked two or
my teeth out The other was a milk

The bicycle is a fixed institution; 1t is

fences and necessities upon the streets and
highways should be provided for. The bicy
Gle occupies a considerable share of the
public time and attention, as well as a
large share of the highway fact which
the officials had as well recognize sooner

are filed with whirring wheels from ear

is that the machine has not even yet reach

pleasure and business vehicle.
The park and parade ground sidewalks

furnish the only paths for wheels ridden

ing the case, the walks should be kept in

If he determines these questions as the

Incidentally it demonstrates e the ease

Elephant Drains a Tank.

A special dispatch to the New York
Press from Bangor. Me, says: 1.-THE Fore
paugh & Sells circus, which arrived in
Bangor last week, had a queer experience
on It's way and, consequently, was delayed
for several hours in its arrival. The car
next to the big mogul machine that hauled
the fret animal section contained several
elephants In the front of the car was
the usual small aperture for the admits
sion of light and air. On the way an ee>
plant on the end of the line grew thirsty.
He reached his trunk out through the
portfolio, and, feeling gently about. came
upon what his instinct taught him was a
water tank. 1t was the tank on the loco
motive tender.
The big fellow felt about until he got a
good grip on the metal cap over the fill
hole of the tank, then he gave the cover
a yank that sent it spinning off into the
bushes by the track side. The trunk wene
into the tank without delay, and within
five minutes the reservoir had been drain
ed, the elephant had drink and had gen.
erously given to his dusty fellows cou,
pie of squirts from his trunk to cool off
their backs.
A few miles further on the engineer no
ticed a difficulty with his machine.
See how much water is in that tank
Bill" he said to his fireman.
I'VE h'ain't got a spoonful to spare"
said Bill. Something's happened to the
tankr'
BY good luck and hard labor the train
got on as far as the next water station.
There the mogul was filled up She had
been on the road for about ten minutes
when Bill. who was keeping a sharp eve
on the tank, saw what looked like a snake
coming out of the elephant car. II swung
gracefully about for an instant, and then,
with accurate aim, plunged into the water
q n thn wa fer In which fn1xy fell
some four inches. Bill shrieked aud hit
the elephant with a hot fire rake. Thei.
he plugged up the ill hole with a stout
board. If the elephant had had one more
pull at the tank the circus world not
have appeared in Bangor on time.

In Liquidation.
From the Columbia State Dem).

The dispensary business is in process of
liquidation, with Gov. Ellerbe and the
board OF control as assignees,. and they
are very properly trying so to cut down
expenses that the state will realize as
many cents on the dollar as is possible.

sneezed at in such a case and this as
pect of the matter may reconcile some

How much satisfaction will the Wash
ington people extract from the excuse
given by the Washington Star for the
failure of the poor, but honest. soldiers
of the District of Columbia" to bring any
of the big prizes away from Sea Grit?
The Georgia boys had the "scads," ex-
planned the Star and were therefore en-
abled to shoot more times in the indi-
vidual matches. The Star overlooks the
fact that the Georgians walked away also
with the big team prizes, in which "scads"
cut no figure. Besides paying their own
way, the Georgia boys carried the skill
with them, and they won. If the poor
but honest, soldiers of the District of
Columbia" had been in actual need of a
dollar or two in order to get a better
whack at the individual prizes, doubtless
the Georgians, in the goodness of their
hearts. would have been glad to lend it

No DimcuIty Appreciated.

After a careful investigation, it does
not appear that there is reason to appre-
bend any difficulty whatsoever in handling
and storing all of the cotton and other
frelghts which will go through this port
during the current commercial year. The
supply of labor is full-indeed. there is a
surplus of it-and there win be no delay
in the dispatch of ships. On the other
hand, there are reasons for believing that
the loading of vessels will be accom-
plished with improved facility. An in
creased number of vessels will load here
this winter; there will be competition,
more work and more men employed.
Upon the whole. the outlook is bright for
one Of the most easy-moving and pros
porous seasons on the water front that
has been known for some time.

subject, but also to return to 1t naturally,
forming a sort of loop in the thread of
the argument. So it is with music. A
depression must work back to the prin-
cipal theme, and not jump back to it with
an awkward sort of musical but to re-
turn" Not the sense of hearing. but an
ear for music. is the golden key which
admits one to the composers world-a
world of emotion, full of delicate Citations
and depressions, which. Ike the hum of
minute insects, hardly arrest the unculti-
waited ear. There is in souls a sympathy
with sounds, and as the mind is pitched
the ear is pleased with melting airs or
martial, brisk or grave. Some chord In
unison with what we hear is touched
within us, and the heart replies. The
composer who has studied well the secrets
of his art can, through the medium of
sound alone, send to all hearts messages
too subtle for words-messages sparkling
with irresistible mirth, others wild with
terror and deep despair, or filled with the
sweet whispers of imperishable consola-
ton. All this, and far more than any
words can utter, was to be done, and has
been done for man by music but not sud
denly or at once, and altogether, as the
first rude attempts still extant and famil-
lar to most of us in the shape of the
Gregorian chants. live to attest. To
Palestrina we owe modern melody, and in
two hundred and fifty years after his eff

1t is important above all TO preserve this
life undisturbed and unaduterated in ar

most precious gift-of God; let us study
it with reverence; let us practice it with
humility and diligence. so that we may
catch and drink in the spirit of love
which it breathes-which is of God. and
which leads to God
