seriously with the progress of Grecian
and recommend and advise and even
order Greece to do thus and so. But as
for armed interposition to prevent the
occupation of Crete, or to restrain
Greece from holding it, we believe that
it is as much a thing of air as the
hope that the powers would intervene
to prevent the most dreadful massacres
known to any age.
All the traditions of heroism and of
glory that linger about the name of
Greece in legend and in history are
awakened to new life by her part in
this latest struggle. With flashing
sword she has cut the Gordian knot
over which the heavy and nerveless
fingers Of all the nations Of Europe
have fumbled and bungled. The act
of this little country in boldly precipi-
tating the crisis from which the pow
ers have shrunk is worth all of her
past. All honor to Greece for her stand
against the Turk and her vigorous blow
upon the stubborn shield of the inert
European powers. The whole world
hopes that it will startle into new life
humanity and civilization and be but
the prologue to that readjustment of
European forces and powers that will
leave the Eastern question, as far as
Europe is concerned, only an evil men,
Dry of the unhappy past.

SILVER And TREATY DISCUSSED

and were included In this bill, with
Indispensable appropriations, in order
that they might escape the executive
veto. Before the house divided, Mr..
Pearson appealed to the other side to
give him a accommodating vote, but
only got thirty-three members to sec
ond his demand, and the speaker de-
clared the bill passed under suspension
of the rules.
The house made the best Of the fact
that today was suspension day, and
quite a number of bills were passed,
more or less important among them
being the senate bill appropriating
$3.50 900 for closing the crevasse at Pass
a POutre on the Mississippi; to equip
the national guard with uniform 45
caliber Springfield rifles, and the SEN
ate resolution to authorize the secreta-
ry of the navy to transport the con-
tributions Of the Pacific coast states
to the famine sufferers Of India.
The report in the contested election
case Of Benoit VS.. Boatner from Louis
lana, confirming the latter's title to
his seat, was unanimously adopted.
The conference report on the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
was adopted, and the agricultural bill
was sent to conference. Owing to the
brief time of this session yet remain
ing, extra night sessions will be given
beginning tonight, for the considerp-
ton of private pension bills, of which
many hundred still remain on the cal
endar.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE.

her household duties unperformed, the
house unswept, the beds unmade, the
children unwashed and their clothes
unpatched, while she swaps morsels Of
neighborhood gossip with a crony, may
we'll be taken as the figure to carica-
ture the senate of the United States.
What has it been giving it's time to
during this short session, when the
brevity Of the sitting and the number
and Importance Of domestic measures
demanded the exclusion Of all matters
| not of immediate and pressing neces-
! sity? Pottering over Cuban resolu-
| lions, roaring at Cleveland and Olney,
ululating about England and jobbing
the Nicaragua canal steal. Of finance
| not word, Of currency reform moth
ing, and two weeks left crowded with
appropriation bills.
| In the jam now inevitable, it is too
much to hope that this obstructive
and unserviceable appendix to our gov
eminent will find time to give atten-
ton and effect to the bankruptcy bill
which the house sent it during the
former session, and yet there is no
measure before it, not excepting the
appropriation bills, so badly needed in
every section Of the country to facili-
tate the clearance of the industries
from the commercial wreckage of the
boom and the panic as is this law
All over the country are energetic,
capable men tied hand and foot in the
land investments made when the cool
est judgments lost their balance. State
insolvency laws offer clearance from
creditors within their jurisdiction, but
fusing assent, to paralyze -recuperatiVe

Could these victims Of commercial
disaster and congressional incapacity
get discharge from liabilities by
a federal court, into which all credit
ors had been brought, and enabled to
devote their energies and abilities to
fresh industrial pursuits they would
be a material aid in restoring better

the wheels go round" Now, hobbled
by debts from which they cannot get
relief, their lives are daily make-shifts
for a livelihood, with sheriffs and cred
itors watching for opportunity to

accumulate. Meanwhile, instead of
promptly affording them the relief of
general bankruptcy act, the senate
putters along, Numbering about the
affairs of our neighbors in which we
have no concern, and leaving undone
the domestic matters in which we are
| all concerned. A couple Of years ago
the proposition was to ''mend or end"

TREATY WAS NOT PRESSED.
Not Much Hope of "a Ratification mt
Over Canea.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The ar
bitration treaty was not pressed in
the executive session today and it NAV
not be called up again until THURSDAY.
Senator sherman said today that he
would press the treaty against all
other legislation except appropriation
bills. He did not intend to have it
stand in the way Of appropriation bills.
He will not make a motion to postDone
the treaty, but it is understood that
such a motion will be made.
1t is believed by many that the mo-
ton will prevail. Those opposed to the
treaty will. Of course. vote for post
ponement, while a number Of senators
who desire to go on with other BUSH
ness, together with those who want
more consideration for the treaty, will
vote the same way. 1t is Senator Sher-
mans desire to have a vote as he does
not feel that he should consent to Dut
the treaty over without testing the
sense of the senate. No one now be-
1eves that there Is any hope Of a
direct vote on the treaty at this ses-
sion.
The early part of the executive ses-
sion today was occupied by Senator
Morgan, who talked in support of his
resolution to abrogate the Clayton Bull
wer treaty. but there Is little prospect
of vote on it this session Nearly all
the afternoon was consumed in a dis
cussion of the nomination of Henry r.
Davis to be district attorney for the
District of Columbia.

NOT KNOWING THEY WE'RE GREAT

When a man is the recipient Of a
promotion to exalted station, allowance
must be made for some natural exag-
geration in the terms used by the
speakers in eulogizing their guest. 1t
was probably something of this ex-
travagance of praise that led Mr. Gage
at the banquet given him by the Chi
cago Commercial club, to say in re-
spouse, that, listening to the laudatory
words" he had run back over the
memories of the past to find "some
great word spoken or some worthy ac-
ton performed by me which would
justify their words of praise" And his
none. It is always the true test Of
greatness that it does not know it is
great. Whether the life be a promi-
nent or a humble one the acts done
acts. Emerson has immortalized the
farmers who gathered at Concord
bridge to resist the invader and "fred
the shot that echoed round the world"
and Lowell says of them that they were
men 'who dii great things not know
ing they were great
In these days Of posturing for effect.
when actions are guided by considera
tons Of their reflex effect on self, when
senators talk to the galleries and rep
resentatives deliver voiceless speeches
in the Record for transmission to their
constituents, it is refreshing to find
one man who will be influential on the
destinies of the nation, who has met
emergencies with action directed sim
ply by what he deemed to be the right
thing to do or the right word to saw
and did great things not knowing thew
were great" 1t encourages us to hope
and believe that there will be one man
at least in the next administration who
will not be self-conscious or party con-
scious when duty points one way and
self-interest or party interest points an
l.other. He will then do great things
and wonder that men call them great

SUNDRY BILL RUSHED.
Fifty Millions Appropriated Under
Suspension of the Rules.

WASHINGTON, Feb 15.-The coup
arranged by the house leaders for the
passage of the sundry civil appropri-
alton bill under suspension of the
rules was a complete success, and this
big appropriation bill, carrying $780,
ga, TAB, was passed today without op-
portunity for amendment, just as it
came from the committee. The main
opposition was directed against the
river and harbor item.
The bill consists of III pages, and, as
the clerk began to read it, w. A. Stone
Rep., Pa.) asked that the reading be
dispensed with. Mr.. Sapers Oem,
Tex.) essayed to make an explanation
of why he did not think it was neces-
sary to pursue this unusual course
but Mr.. Cannon protested against de-
bate, whereupon Mr.. Turner Dem,
Ga.) objected to dispensing with the
formal reading Of the bill, and the
reading proceeded. The reading was
completed at 80 D. m. Under the
rules, twenty minutes on a side were
allowed for debate Mr.. Sayers Dem.
TeX) the leader of the minority of the
appropriation committee, took the floor
and briefly stated his objections to
having the bill passed under susper-
sion of the rules. He agreed that the
contents of the bill were not improper.
and said, with the exception Of the
river and harbor items, the bill, in his
opinion, could be scrutinized without
finding an item which would not meet
legitimate objections
Mr. Pearson (Rep., N c. attacked
the bill on the ground that the river
and harbor items contained therein
could not stand on their own footing.

TAABS' HOPES ARE HIGH.
Minnesota Delegation backing Him

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Minnesota
contingent here, we'll as many other promi-
nent Republicans of North and South Dakota
and other Western states, believe that the land

Mr.. Bixby will have the unanimous support
Of the states representatives in both houses
OF congress, and many Of the prominent Re
publlcans outside OF congress are interesting
themselves in his behalf Senator Nelson,
who is probably closer to Mckinley than any
other Minnesota member, is known to be TAX
ing deep interest in the case and Senator
Nelson has a very practical way of going
about matter Of this kind. He regards Blk
by as the ablest manager in the West, and be-
lieves he would administer the affairs Of the
land department in such a way as to make
the Mckinley administration acceptable to
the Western people. The Western delegation
places no faith in the report that Mckinley
will demand as an essential requirement that
the successful applicant for the position Of
land commissioner be lawyer. 1t is con-
ceded, of course, that the place will go to
Western man. and though the commissioner
will be called upon to consider many cases
involving questions of lew, the position is
one where experience, executive capacity and
natural ability will count for more than q
mere technical knowledge Of statutory law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-As a result of the
excellent management of the two Minnesota
senators, 1t is now probable that the PROPOSE
ton to have examinations made for the pro-
poEed all-water route to the Atlantic seaboard
Will be adopted by the senate, and legislation
enacted such as will provide for the necessary
preliminary steps. In short, the prospects
are favorable for the passage of Senator Davis
bill appropriating $150,GG0 to carry out need
full surveys for the route. favorable re-
port was recently made on this amendment by
Senator Nelson, and unless something un-
expected happens, the provision will be in
corporated in the sundry civil bill, to which
it mas been offered as an amendment.

whisky were destroyed. Sheaffer made a
claim for an abatement and after three years
decided that the tax must be paid. Sheaffer
anticipated the seizure on Saturday night by
confessing Judgment to his wife and sister
in-iaw in 1900. On these judgments the
sheriff levied on his property. The govern
ment holds that these executions will not
hold, as the government has the first lien.

To the People of Clarendon:

Seeing for several years the need of
a hardware store at our County seat,
we determined to try and supply a
long felt want; hence, we have
opened up in one of the new stores
recently built in the Mcleod block,
a complete line Of hardware, guns,
crockery, tinware, etc.
It has been our aim to buy as
cheaply as possible the best quality
of goods in the market saleable in
this community, and believe there
are very few things one can call for
in our line that we cannot furnish.
We are certain Of one thing, how
ever, that we shall not attempt to
sell you what you do not want, and
if not in stock, we shall take pleasure
in getting what you do want.
We recognize your right 10 spend
your money in Sumter or anywhere
else you please, yet it is our intention
of making it to your interest to spend
your money at your County seat and
with US.
Ny family has enjoyed during the
past the confidence Of the people of
Clarendon, and in this new under
taking it shall be my purpose to mer-
it your continued confidence and es-
TEEN.
You will find with the Davis Hard
ware Company obliging salesmen
who will take pleasure in showing
you our goods, whether you spend
your money with US or not.
Yours respectfully,
A. C. DAVIS, Manager.
