AN ARMY oF TRAMPs.

Tramps seem to have taken the
West. A dispatch from Denver,
Col, says:
San army of 1900 tramps is
moving westward. At present it
is in Kansas. It is approaching
in four divisions, following the va
rious lines of railways, and 80
troublesome has it become that
the people have pe.itioned the
railroads to carry them OH to the
coast. They forage upon the
country until there is nothing left.
The tramps beg everything in the
way of old clothes, money and
meals, and the inhabitants have
begun to look upon the movement
as d serious matter. The Union
Pacific and the Mississippi Pacific
have placed shotguns and guards
on their trains.
Last week a tramp named Bailey
was killed at Salina by brake
man named Callahan. He was
riding on the break beam. The
brakeman descended and, It'll said,
kicked Bailey with such violence
that he fell and was ground under
the wheels. The trainps infest the
wheat and corn fields at night.
Such is the story told by Jas.
Wright of Topeka, prominent
railway and express officer, who is
stopping at the Windsor. The
tramps will pass through Colorado
on their way to th- Pacific coast
lin the wake of the Christian En-.
deavor Convention excursions
They cay that they are endeavor'

CLEMSON COLLEGE.

There have been two more deaths
at Clemson College. The special
committee of the State Board OF
health found that it was ali cpl
demic typhoid fever that was rag
ing at Clemson College, and will
SO report to the trustees. In their
report they will sugges5 that the
cause of the fever is from q spring
that was contaminated, and that
the sanitary condition of the insti-
tuition is bad, and that the sewer
age system is about as good as
none. The troubles will all be
remedied at once, as suggested by
the State board of health.

The Supreme Court of Kentucky
has just decided that all interest
charged or collected over 6 per

four of the largest bnilding and

that State have gone to the wall.
These associations foot up over a
million and a quarter dollars each

Kentucky decision is right in the
teeth of our South Carolina de-

1RBY VS.. MCLAURIN.
Carolina Congressmen in Wash.
ingtOn Were Interviewed

Washington, July 1.-The
announcement of Irby's candidacy
against McLaurin was not a sur
prise here. The South Carolina
congressman all agree that means
a hot, fierce. typical Reform"
campaign, and no member Of the
delegation is willing to 60 on
record in predicting the result.
Mr.. Latimer saids II am not
committed, and 1 told McLaurin
SC yesterday, I told McLaurin so
Yesterday, I have no concealments
in the matter. If McLaurin's
election means a combination to
defeat Tillman's reelection, [ am
against him. Until all doubt in
that direction is removed l have
anothing to say, and whilst l may
be fresh in Legislative experience,
want the State to know that what
ever progress has been made in
reference to the dispensary bill and
whatever hope is entertained OF
immediate or ultimate success, is
due entirely to the efforts OF
Sena or McLaurin."
Representative Talbert said: 81
have nothing to say in the matter
The mention of my name in
connection with the senatorship is
the unsolicited suggestion OF
others. l promptly decline to
entertain it, and ! don't care to
discuss the present situation at
this time"
Representative Strait said: 81 am
responsible for the use of Talbert s
name as senatorial candidate,
and represented the controlling
sentiments in my congressional
district in asking him to be a
candidate. 1t will be a close race
in my district between Mchauril'
and Irby."
Representative Stokes said:
Irby's candidacy seriously
complicates the situation. Irby las
great capacity as an organizer. He
was the Only Reform leader i'll the
state, who succeeded in harmoniz-
ing factional differences in the
party, and has q strong personal
following"
Representative Wils,n said !:
ut will be sizzling hot fight from
start to finish. Irby is one of
McLaurin's. discoverers. He
considered him at one time the
peer Of Calhoun and Hayne in
ability and craftsmanship, and
McLaurin's rhetorical efforts in
adulation OF Irby had much to do
with his phenomenal political
career" eff he oesn'tfunk when
the pineh comes, said Mr.. Sampson
Pope, "1rby will make a great
campaign and will be a formidable
candidate"
The impression here is that the
attempt to make the tariff the issue
in the campaign will force Senator
Tillman to the espousal of Nc
Laurin's candidacy.-Columbia

THE VIRUS AND VENOM OF THE
Sun


Hon. John Henry Keene, the promI-
nent Baltimore lawyer, who, I'm the
campaign OF 1855, was conspicuous
among the independents who fought
the Democratic Party. has been re-
Gently taking an equally conspicuous
part against the slanderous misrepre-
sensations OF the Baltimore Sun. The
Sun, In recent issue, by way OF show
ing up Mr.. Keene's Inconsistency, re-
produced one OF his vigorous letters
against "Gormanism," written for pub
LEGATION I'm 1895. To this Mr.. Keene
made a scathing rejolnder. which he
paid the Sun to publish, ms follows:
ITO the Readers of the Sun:
"By its republication In yesterday
Sun OF his letter in 1898. the Sun az
fords the writer an opportunity FOR a
heartfelt confession of the grieyous
wrong and error of that letter. aud
many similar contributions during thar
canvass. The explanation of the cause
and occasion of the writing of that let
ter is not difficult one. In common
with many AIarylanders, the writer
had grown up I'm the faith that The
Sun t''Light For All'') was, so to speak,
the Bible of Maryland Democra -.
With implicit faith, year after year
he had read The Sun, and in 1895 he
became-as many Democrats, the
iatehets of whose shoes he Is unworthy
to unlOose-saturated with it's virus
and venom against Senator German.
The Sun, with more than pInic Gun
ming, formed n coalition and misIad
himself and others. aud after TWO
years of acknowledged Republican
misrule, even now is striving to effect
the destruction OF the Democratic
Party-still governed by the same IN
sane hatred of Senator GormaT.
When, however, after the canvass O!
1895, the columns OF The Sun began
again to flow, an swell. and overflow
with living gall against Mr.. German.
the writer and many other true DeH.
ocrats began to reflect that the DemO-
cratic Party I'm Baltimore had no organ
to fairlv represent Senator Gormaa's
side of the question. Upon frequent
consultations with various public men
OF the country, In Washington aud
elsewhere, the writer found that with
out exception, and Irrespective OF
party, they all entertained the highest
estimate of Maryland's senior Senat) r.
The writer fails to discover any good
reason why a citizen of Maryland,
who stands so high in the councils Of
the Nation, should be bound upon n
Scythian rock to feast the malice Of an
untiring yulturc. In two recent let
tiers, published In The Sun, the writer
has already trcspassed overmuch upon
the public patience in unfolding The
reasons OF his friendly attitude
toward Senator German. May. he
trust that an example so humble rs Lis
own will lead other Democrats who.
like himself. have scen misled by The
Sun into aiding and abet;ing the be
trayal OF the Democratic Party Into
the hands OF it's adversaries. 10 use
their own judgments and not trust too
implicitly to the GREAT LUMINARY
which. while 1t claims to be only
LIGHT FOR ALL" shines with M,
especial reference 10 its own interests
and intense prejudices.
