SENSATION IN GREENVlLlE.
A Clemson College Professor Arrest
ed but Soon Released.

Greenviile,' Sept. 10.-A rather
sensational hearing, which many
persons believe to be an attempt
at blackmail, was had before Mag
istrate Whitmire yesterday. Prof.
w W Yager. of Clemson College,
was arrested on the charge OF
grand larceny, but the magistrate,
after hearing all the evidence, dis
missed the case and expressed his
confidence in the innocence Of
Prof Yager, who, his friends say,
was made the victim of unscrupu-
lous and dangerous women with
whom he had unfortunately come
in contact. The affair has caused
a good deal of talk, but it is only
fair to say that the public seems
to sympathize with Prof. Yager
without condoning his whole con-
duc;.-The State.

Senate: McLaur.a's Interview ".

The State received no report
from Washington of the interview
with Senator McLaurin, in which
he was quoted as saying that
President Mckinley was the most
popular President since Andrew
jackson, and ought to be re nomi-
mated by acclamation-or words
to this effect. Comment was,
therefore, withheld AID develop
mentS awaited.
Col. Willie Jones. who was pres,
ent at the time. and heard all that
passed, now comes forward with
an explanation that covers the
case and shows that Senator Nc
Laurin was misquoted. There is
nothing unreasonable in Col.
Jones account Of the occurrence,
and the criticism everywhere,
heaped upon the Junior senator
from South Carolina, seems to be
founded on something that had no
existence outside the Imagination
of the correspondent who reported
it.
According to Col. Jones ver-
sion, published elsewhere in this
issue, Senator McLaurin was dis
cussing the unwiSdom Of attacking
thePresident'S conduct Of the war,
thereby obscuring the all impor-
tant settlement 0f the money
question. What the senator said
of Mr.. McKin!ey'S conduct Of the
war is the sentiment of the cOun-
try, regardless OF party lines From
all sides has come a ch oruS of com
,6endauo2-even from those who
most sharply criticised him at the
breaking out of hoS,ilines.
But it is clear that Senator Nc
Laurin lid not commit himself to
all endorsement of the Presidents
entire policy, bat reserved judg-
ment on that phase of it most OBJ
jectionable to Democratic belief.
No doubt the Democratic party
would suffer defeat, il it were led
TO attack the Presidents handling
of war in which he has been so
sen4iseatly> successful. More than
that, the party would deserve de-
feat if il made any such blunder.
Bnt there has been no indication
of any such attempt, except IN the
case OF few reckless leaders, who
could not, in the nation : supreme
hour of struggle rise above the
narrow limits Of partisan feeling.
The ruling sentiment of the Dem
ocratic party, however, has amply
vindicated its claim to be the
party OF the people. The war
was recognized as peoples war,
as such sustained. and the Pres;-
dent has met cordial approval by
his handling Oft.
All this Col. Jones afiirms, and
says that there was nothing un-
Democratic IN Senator McLaurin'S
utterances. As State chairman
of1he Democratic party for South
Carolina, Col. Jones has the right
10 speak with authority, and what
he says ought to set the issue at
rest.
The lnciient has been widely
heralded to the effect of injuring
Senator Nc Laurin with his party
in South Carolina, the said party
being always willing to accord
credit for a meritorious action and
decidedly unwilling to endorse
Republican principles under any
circumstances whatever. The pa
pers that have published the in
terview attributed to Senator Nc
Laurin, ought to publish Col. Willie
Jones' explanation OF what hap

A SMALL Boys SCHEME.
He Had an Idea About Eggs which
Promised n Splendid Result to
His Mind.

A small boy who is not familiar with rural
ways was taken by his fond mamma for .
brief stay in the country.
On farm in a neighboring county he
waxed fat and sunburnt, and picked up .
wondrous store of astonishing experiences.
One day the farmer smilingly said to bis
mother:
Just ask your boy what he hid two eggs
in the stable for?'
So the very first opportunity the mother
said to the six-year-old:
MY dear, what did you do with those eggs
you took from the hen house,"
"Oh, mamma" replied the boy, 81 didn't
want you to know about it."
"Why, it's all right" said mamma, 81 only
want to know what my boy did with Them
81 hid them in the stable" said the little
fellow
"And what for?"
'Cause it's my scheme"
'"Your scheme? And what is your
scheme?"
"Why, you see, mamma" said the little
philosopher, when eggs is horned in a
chicken house they is always little chickens,
an fink if they was horned in a stable dey
might be little horses!"
1t is needless to add that up to the time
of his leaving the farm the miracle was still
unaccomplished.-Cle Plain Dealer.

FILCHING FROM THE PEOPLE
How the Republican Administration
Tries to Keep Up the Treas
ury Surplus.

A republican contemporary is handy
with figures, but not handy enough.
In defending the financial policy of
Mr.. McKinley's administration it
shows wonderful faculty to bungle
up things. Its purpose is to mislead
the public, but it succeeds only in maxi
ing more glazing the administrations
methods of filching the public. 1t says
that by July /, 1899, the cost of the
army and navy, including the cost of
the war and peace footing expendi-
lures, will have reached $3.50, 10000
Meanwhile the special war tax will
have yielded up $156,ooo,ooo. This viii
reduce the war debt and current ex-
penditures to S4,O00,000. But that is
not all. The Dingley tariff will have
yielded surplus of S50,OOo,00O by July,
1899, leaving deficit of only $4,000
900. That is to say, by next July the
country will have by taxation and Gus
tom duties reimbursed the treasury
for all ordinary and extraordinary ex-
penditures of the war establishment
except the little balance of $44, 000, 900.
That is very good, indeed, or would be,
if it were not true that the Dingley
law will not only leave a surplus of
$4,000, ooo, but o positive deficit of
more than that sum.
But assuming that our contempor-
ary's figures are correct. What then ?
What do they prove? They prove that
the people are being most unmerci-
fully robbed. There was net balance
in the treasury of considerably over
100,000,0O when war was declared,
and subsequently $500, 900. 900 of bonds
were sold, the special war tax will
yield $4,000, 000 and after paying the
current expenses of the government,
other than the war department, the
Dingley bill will yield a surplus of
S50,000,0o0 making grand total of
$506,00O,000 to provide for $250,o00,0 900
for war and navy expenditures up to
July, 1899. Who gets the balance of
$256,000,o00? 1t seems by our con-
temporary's figures that there would
be ample funds for all ordinary and
extraordinary expenses without the
war excise tax. Then why keep on
robbing the people? Why was the ex-
N4SC bdA NV CHdCNtt III lllt ST DldtC !.
The treasury surplus and the bond is

the cost of the war and the mainte-
nance of the entire war establishment
until July, 1899. What has become, or
what is to become of that surplus of
$4,000, 600? To what purpose will the
$156,000,00O of war excise taxes be di-
yerted? Who will get the $50,000,00o
that the Dingley law will pile up?
The facts are, the war tax revenue will
have to be used to make good the
deficit the Dingley bin creates, and
the $4,000, 600 left over from the treas
urp surplus and the bond sale will be
found under the head of "miscellane-
Gus items" in the disbursement side
of the nations ledger, but adroitly
covered up.-Kansas City Star.

AS TO ALGERISM.
Not Political Prejudice. but Public
Demand That ArrniGns the
War Department..

The hue and cry that has been raised
against the mismanagement of the
war department was taken up at the
outset by representative newspapers
of both parties. All along. however,
the press has had nothing but praise
for Mr.. McKinley's personal attitude
during the war.
The scandalous plumbers which
married the Santiago campaign and
developed later in every camp of
mobilization began in the war depart
ment and should have ended with the
removal of Secretary Alger. Repub-
lican newspapers, partisan organs of
the megaphone variety excepted, were
not slow to find the cause of the
trouble. They printed the facts as
told in news dispatches and exploited
them editorially without reflection
upon the ability or motives of the
president.
These newspapers are still clamor-
Gus for the truth. They would sustain
the president and punish the guilty.
The most rabid politician would not
manufacture evidence from a theme
so unpopular as the inability of our Of
fcials to care for our soldiers. The
poverty. ignorance and cruelty of the
methods followed by the war depart
ment are not good material upon
which to base a political issue, nor
would the most reckless partisan or
gan advance charges so repulsive to
American pride without being sure of
its ground.
agement of the war department is a
fact. The Hannacrat apologists admit
that Secretary Alger was unfit for the
position he held, without occupying,
before and during the war. To the
demands of the public and press gen.
orally, they shrek charges of polit-
ical prejudice, overlooking or con-
cealing the fact that the more intelli-
gent publications of their own party
also demand truth and justice in the
case at issue. AS much of the truth as
could be CLEANED from personal OBJ
servation and private sources has
been printed fearlessly. What all
fair-minded people want is all the
truth and nothing more nor less. II
so happens that this can come only
from republican administration.
Thus far public Indignation against
Algerism is anything but partisan
howl. The insolent mouthings of men
like Senator Hanna and Steve Elkins
are calculated to direct public senti-
ment against the administration OF
which they are part, and to force
the president and his party to make
common cause against the popular
will. The persistence with which Mr.
Mckinley clings to his so-called
friends without regard to their merits
or the rights of the people is another
influence which will not fail TO bring
odium upon the republican party. II
this should be the result of his alleged
determination TO shield his friend Al
ger the controversy may grow into a
national issue, but Mr. Mckinley car
blame nobody but himself and his bad
advisers.-St. Louis Republic.
