PaSsinq of the PopuIistS

The Maine election as well as that of Arkansas demonstrated the rapid dissolu- tiop of the populst party. In some states fusion is taking away the identity of the peoples party. and in other states the or ganization is simp.y going to pieces. In no state is the party gaining. ground; in most of the states it is rapidly going out of sight. The middle-of-the roaders may exist on paper until 1906, but after that date the party will be unknown except among historical students.
 The party took definite folm at the Oma- ha convention of 1892, and it had in that year in the various states fully million adherents, and 1894, its vote was still larg er In 1896 fusion was the watchword, and no clear evidence of the party strength can be gathered. Disintegration set in last year, however, and this year fl has be- come epidemic Where fusion tickets are not agreed upon, voters practically refuse to farther support a third-party ticket, and the contest of 1900 is plainly to be be- tween the two chief parties of the country, with no distractlng side issues or splits.
 The peoples party has, however,. been very useful in creating new issues. It put

EITGENE M. M,CAA

A gentleman from Marengo at the Flor ence said: "A man died at Linden ten days ago whose life presented a focible reminder that ''the dark, unfathomed ocean bears many gem,' or in plain words the world often does not know it's best men amidst the hurry and furry of men who are not it's best. Eugene McCaa is the man who died He was lawyer with as much prac- tice I suppose, as almost any attorney at that bar He was aman who had missed his calling, all the same. As Q literary critic and reviewer, the occasional work that he did was only less pungent, cap tivating and learned than Macaulay or Legare. He did not go to London or Bos- ton as he should have done upon his grad uaton with honors at the South Carolina college, under Preston, in the fifties. He lacked the opportunity which he might have made for himself to take rank among the immortal critics of modern literature.
 McCaa was a sigularly happy man in his own family. The homecoming of him noon and night was the return of light and smiles to the household. But, lift him to the stump to deal with political foe or arm him with the pen to discuss an au- lIOr at Idull III HIS eyes ana ne was a monster of such satire as clarifies the at mosphere. I don't know whether he was popular man or not. He was tutor for a year in my fathers family. I went to school to him. In all after life I went to him unhestitatingly with my condolences or my troubles. He was kind and gen. erous.
 McCaa was a South Carolinian by birth, of the low country aristocracy on his mothers side. He served as a private in the Army of Northern Virginia, and I have heard him swear that he never ran but once and then, on an occasion when danger was comparatively small he ran against his will, controlled by an unaccountable inn pulse.

REGULARS AND VOLUNTEERS

From Golfers weekly.
 A tall regular with a bloody bandage around his head stopped to tIlk with us. He said he bad been ordered back to the di,,-.on hospital. Waxing enthusiastic, he exclaimed T tell yez, boys, we're knock ing the spots out of them. Over where was I could see that long dynamite gun or the Rough Riders, and I tell yez it was dandy. Acrost from our trenches, up on the hill were them Spanish cannon a-piaz- ing away, and every time one of their shells busted over our trench was some dead soldiers in our ditch It made us feel mighty uncomfortable and scary like till at last them Rough Riders poked the long pipe of their dynamite gun out between the sand bags and off she went like a little popgun It was jest like as If an earth quake had struck that Spanish battery. Mud, blood, and corruption went flying up in the air, and then the dynamite gun pop ped off again, and the next we knew them spanish gunners quit shooting. But the Rough Riders went right on and l tell yez, they are all right. They're just as good as us"

THE DAUGHTER OF THE CoNFEDERACY 1rror, +hn fhica gn Times-Herald

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
 The north mourns with the south for the daughter of the confederacy.
 In her long and painful illness which ended with her death on Sunday Miss Da- wis had the sympathy of the entire na- tion. and people of all sections shared in the hope for her recovery.
 While the keenest sorrow will be felt in the south, of which she was the idol and to which she gave the devotion of bril- liant mind and noble heart the complete reconciliation of the north and south makes her death a national rather than section- al loss
 Miss Davis occupied a unique place in our national life She was the personifi- cation of a sentiment; the surviving em- bodiment of ideas for which men fought and died; her living presence was the shrine at which the people of the sonth- land worshiped the vanished hopes and dead ambitions associated with a Host cause" Her right to rule as the uncrown- ed queen of southern hearts was not de- rived alone from her inspired title of "Daughter of the Confectionery" She was the highest type of southern womanhood, possessing cultivated mind and a most attractive personality. Her devotion to her father was an admirable and touching Illustration of flial affection. She was his constant companion. As 8 little child she liehtened his hours of imprisonment, and the last days of the leader of the lost cause were made joyous and bright by the daugh- ter who had been born to him at the death-

The Fever Situation,

The infection is spreading very slowly in Mississippi if at all. Manley, the Illinois Central railroad dispatcher, is dead, and Jackson is without a known case of the fever at this writing. and the Clarion Ledger expresses the belieft that there will Manley case, so careful have the health authorities been in handling it. The death of Mr. Manley in Jackson and of the yell low fever patient in Winona, together with the convalescence of the cases at Water- ford, absolutely confines the disease to Lafayette county
 In Lafayette county the disease has three foci-Taylor's, Orwood and Oxford New cases without however, additional fatali- ties, are occurring at all three points. OK ford cannot, however, be conslderd focus of Infection as very few cases have &C., curred( and the people of Oxford do not expect to hear of the occurrence of any more cases.
 The legislature of Mississippi placed $50,- GOO at the disposal of the state board of health About 5000 was expended in stamping out the fever at McHenry, and the board of health is working without ceasing in an effort to crush out the dis ease except in Lafayette county. At this writing this result is considered probable. In Lafayette county the infection is beyond control, and must its course.
 New Orleans Is like Lafayette county, Mississippi, in the matter of cases and in- lection. New Orleans, Franklin and Lafay cite county are the foci of the disease. There are no other well-defined foci, and unless the fever shows more virulence and travelling strength and disposition, the epi- demic of this year will be of small pro- portion.

hotels he is a most interesting man to lis ten to. He said yesterday that in another year his hotel will hav0 outgrown it's enormous capacity, and that he has al- ready in his mind new hotel which shall be to the Waldorf-Astoria what the Wal dorf-Astoria now is to ordinary tavern.
 "The present Waldorf-Astcria cost $15, OOO, ,0O0," he said "The new structure will cost at least $6O,OOO 900. The present hotel is isolated from other buildings and covers a third of a block. The new hotel will oc- cupy whole block at least as large in area as Madison Square Garden. It will extend from Fifth avenue to one of the other avenues east or west, and accommo- date five times as many people as the old one. That is to say, 10000 persons.
 'I will plan the first three stories for show and the pleasures of the people. Above that I will devote great thought up- on how to afford perfect exclusiveness for my patrons. Exclusiveness and luxury are both indispensable.

 Aside from the almost inconceivable magnitude of the undertaking as whole, it's chief distinguishing feature will be that I shall need more room and it will have to be in different form.
 1T shall have the first three stories con- structed so that morning, noon and night they will make a scene of splendor that will outshine any combination ever dream- ed of by the imagination. Everything that can by any possibility be made of glass will be utilized.
 "Sidewalks ceilings floors, pillars-all will be of glass. The effect will be beau- tiful and pleasing to the eye and senses would so plan the decorations that they, too. would appear to have nothing solid to them. Thus, the floors would be so con- structed and decorated that they would make a perfect fairyland of scintillating brilliancy, yet with an appearance of solid ity to offset any idea of fragility."

THE pAUGHTEK OF THE CoNFEDERA0Y
From tbe Philadelphia Record

From the PhiIadelphla Record.
 The death of Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter of the Confectionery will be sincerely regretted, not only in the south, but throughout the country. She was a woman of high purpose, and much beloved. Marked ability, inherited from her d1stin- guished father, was shown in her recent literary yentures and but for her untimely death large success would have come 10 uer in her chosen line of endeavor. In their thoughts upon the rude snapping of this stem that held a flower people will reflect that in her brief lifetime she saw the strlle of sections stilled and great nation re- united in spirit as in name.

The Dreyfus Case

A reopening of the Dreyfus case will per haps disclose a conspiracy almost as wide spread as the French army itself In re- vision, the army, as well as Dreyfus, will necessarily be on trial.
 A commission is considering the proprety of a revision of the celebrated case. The very appointment of the commission led to the resignations of General zurnden, min ister for war, and M. Tlaye minister of public works. Their places were quickly filled, and the resignations will have no enect upon the question of revision.
 Premier Brisson openly and warmly ad- vocates revision, but President Faure is believed to be opposed to it. It is believed, however, that President Faure will act in accordance with the views of the ministry, and that ministerial crisis will not add to the discontent and excitement. But the chamber of deputies will be in session next month, and just what they desire or will do in connection with the case is a prob lem. That exciting debates will occur is not doubted. It is reasonably certain that Dreyfus will this time have fair trial and 1t is also reasonably certain that the truth will be brought out, no matter who are implicated, or how much the army is dishonored. Unless a fair trial is had the French government well as the French army, will come in for a verdict that will be worldwide, and therefore very damag ing. The outlook at present is that the chamber of deputies and the cabinet will agree to give Dreyfus 2 new trial, and it Is believed that tie trial will be fair bring ing out the truth, and preventing a crisis that might be very damaging to the re- Public.

GEORGIA MOSQUITOES

From the Savannah News.
 An interesting mosquito story comes from Tybee, Ga. According to reports these pes- tiferous insects have been pretty thick there of late owing to the land breezes, which have blown them up from the swamps and into the way of the residents of the island. One of the engineers on the Tybee road reported that he had seen quite a number of rabbits on the track ahead of the train, which would jump off as it came along. One of the railroad officials deter n1inued to investigate the report out of cu- riosity, and he found that it was true.

CRoKER ON RoosEvELTs NOMINATION

New York Tribune.
 The democratic managers are evidently convinced that Teddy Roosevelt will be nominated by the republicans for governor, and they are casting around for some one whom they think can defeat him. They have not, so far as can be learned now, decided upon any one as yet. An interview with Mr. Croker was published in the Brooklyn Eagle last night in which he said he was confident Colonel Roosevelt would be the republican candidate for gov ernor. The interview, in part, was as fol- lows:
 Are you satisfied, MT. Croker,' asked the reporter, "that Roosevelt will be the republican candidate for governors?
 "Yes, am pretty well satisfied today that Roosevelt will get the nomination. was Mr. Croker's reply.
 twill you be able to defeat him?" asked the reporter.
 well" answered MT. Croker, after some deliberation, it is a foregone conclusion that he wouldn't be nominated if all these republican misdoings were not staring the party in the face. I regard his nomination. as a confession of weakness, and am con fident that the people of the state will view it in the same light. You can not de- ceiye the people"

before the country the influence corporate wealth has over legislation; it accustomed the people to the consideration of a gradu- ated income tax, and it brought to the att tention of the people the need and value ot direct legislation, known as the referen- CTS, will survive the death of the party that brought them out, and years hence they will be fought out at the ballot boXes and some of them at least promise to be- come valuable features of American policy. The passing of the populists does not, therefore. mean that the good they stroVe for is lost They have exercised a power full influence over political thought, and it will be found that everything practical and valuable in their platforms will survive, and no little of it will become law, and beneficial law, too.
 In Alabama but eleven counties out of sixty-six remain under the control of the populists, and some of these are held by narrow majorities. Long before the next state election Butler and Cherokee and Chiffon and Choctaw and Conecuh and Coosa and Covington and Geneva and Marshall and Shelby and St. Clair will doubtless conclude that they can best ac- complish the reforms they desire by act ing with and through the historic demo- cratic party, and they will be welcomed back with all cordlality and joy.

France in the Soudan.

In 1895 the French government organlzeo an expedition at Libreville, on the guif or Guinea. Libreville is the capital of the French Congo The expedition consisted chiefly of 300 Senegambians, under the command of Colonel Marchand The object of the expedition was conquest by occupa- ton south of the Sahara desert. Marchand was to march across the continent, starting at the gulf of Guinea, and reaching the Nile north of Khartoum, and going on pos sibly to junction with the troops of Negus Menelek of Abyssinia. It is now reported that Marchand is at Fashoda, on the White Nile, a point about 400 miles south of Khartoum. It is also reported that he is supported, not only by the tribesmen that he could muster into his expedition, but by 10000 fighting Abyssinians. All the world, including the Italians, know that the Abyssinians can and will fight bravely and effectively. They are reasonably well armed, too.
 Fashoda, it should be remembered, is well within the old bounds of the Egyptian SOuuan. IL IS also on the Nlle, ana eIl- gineers say that the river could at thes- point be damned and diverted, thus de- priving Lower Egypt of its fruitful waters, and rendering the entire land valueless and untepe:Itable. Engiand's right to recon Gder the Egyptian Soudan is not only strong and weil-sustained, but she really must control the whole of the Nile in order to be secure in any part of it. Fashoda must, in other words, be reconquered by General Kitchener, no matter who holds it, or else all Egypt may as well be given up.
 It is not definitely known that Marchand is at Fashoda. A report has been brought to Khartoum that some Europeans are there, and the presumption is that they belong to Marchands expedition. It is, of course, not known that Abyssnia is there in force, or there at all. But if Marchand is at Fashoda, it is very reasonable to think that France has been dickering with the Negus, who is known to be friendly to Russia, and who probably does not fancy a British empire at his door.
 But whether there are few or many at Fashoda, General Kitchener has orders to take it and hold it, and all the rest of the province of which it is the capital and commercial center. This renders the sit. uation very interesting. The sentiment of England is wholly in favor of strong and thorough measures at Fashoda regardless of consequences. If it means war with France, war it must be-
 War, however, is improbable It is scarce ly likely that there are any Abyssinians at Fashoda. Colonel Marchand will be easily expelled from there, and then there will be diplomatic dicker in which France Will strive to gain good terms in other parts of the world. She will have to give up all Nile points, however.

THE CITY SEXTON
