The pulpit Of a little eastern church
has long stood enough to one side Of
the platform to disturb the congrega-
TONS sense of proportion; but any pro-
test met with a quick r%ejoinder from
the aged minister. The wife of the SEX
ton, taking matters into her own hands,
says the Church Economist, moved the
pulpit toward the center an inch a week
and gained her point, though it took
time, for the old doctor never noticed
the difference. Some citadels must
needs be stormed from the front. but
more victories are won and more re-
forms inaugurated by methods which
do not antagonize, and in which tact
is Joined to %persevering moderation.

An American at Shanghai writes: A
tion in China in these days is the rapid
increase of Russian influence. The spe-
cial embassy sent by the car to Pekin
Is the most in evidence, but fully as
significant is the removal of the Russo
Chinese Bank at Pekin to palatial new
quarters. These will also house the
Eastern Marchurian railway and along
side will be the mansions of the Rus
sian president and the Chinese vice
president Of the railway. All these are
intended to lavish hospitality, and as
the Chinese are much impressed by the
splendor Of a nations representative,
Russia will be easily first at the court
of the middle kingdom. Russia's diplo-
macy has always been oriental, and
this appeals far more to the Chinese
than the inflexible but just policy of
the English. In connection with diplo-
macy, the Russo-Chinese Bank is a
very important feature. The Manchu-
rian Railway Company is about equally
divided between Russian and Chinese
oficials, but all their quarters are
equally palatial. The Chinese govern
ment has deposited 5000, 900 taels in the
Russo-Chinese Bank, part of which will
no doubt be applied to the payment OF
it's share in the cost of construction oil
the railway. 1t is said also that the
bank is an active competing with
Sheng Taotai for the projected railway
line from Tien-Tsin to Pekin, and that
1t has also offered to loan 500, 900 taels
to the &c 5ernment for the improvement
Of the Peito.

The story goes that the emperor slap
ped the face Of a seaman and the sea
man struck back and BACKED the i'm
perial eye, and hat thereupon the sea-
man drowned himself. Let us hope
the story is untrue. The loss of a good
seaman is a serious thing. But the
theory that the black eye came from a
ropes end is certainly unfortunate, be-
cause that ought naturally to have been
applied to the imperial back.

tenant Hobson SO nobly. 1t de-
velops that after requesting
Lieutenant Hobson not to discuss

write all the letters he cared to
write. The letters were sent
under flags of truce to the near
est American vessel. 81 handed

Cervera, wrote Hobson to his
mother. "F1e had the right to
read them; but he did not. He
bowed and sealed them up in my
presence, and gave me some wax
with which | sealed them, and
stamped the wax with my ring"
Hobson also wrote that when he
got out he intended to present
Cervera with either Il sword or a
fine chronometer balance watch as
slight token of appreciation.
But the Washington authorities
propose to do more for Admiral
Cervera than lies in the power of
Hobson. The French legation

goes with his rank, and be left
free to go wherever he will in the

POLITICIAN ON POLITICS,
SOME OBSERVATIONS UPON
THE DEMOCRATIC CAM
PAIGN.
The Speeches of the Candidates
Thought to Have But Little
Effect in Changing Votes.
Columbia Record.

Columbia Record.
One of the campaigners, who is
a shrewd politician, when drawn
aside where the conversation
could not be heard, talked quite
freely and Interestingly to Il Re-
cord reporter today about the
progress of the campaign and
how matters are shaping them
selves. Being lead on to discuss
the alleged slate which the friends
of Governor ElIerbe are trying to
carry out, the politician said:
$50 the slate has been noised
about, has it! Well, to be per-
fectly candid with you, | am COM
PEELED to say such a combination
was attempted, but before many
me' tings were held it had to he
abandoned as impracticable. You
can't work states in this primary
anyway, and the attempts had as
well be stopped. Every man in
this fight must tote his own
skillet and have his work done
at the polls for himself alone. You
needn't bother about that slate
any more, because it is broken
and cannot be mended.". ..
Speaking of the subernatorial
contest, the politician said that
Ellerbe was fast losing ground,
in spite of the well-organized,
hard fighting machine at his back,
and that Featherstone, the pro-
Libitionist, was gaining ground.
"Featherstone, you see,' said
he, "is the only other candidate
for the job who has distinct is
sue and an organization" He
rather doubted the power of the
machine that was backing Eller-
be, recalling to mind the defeat
of Governor Evans with the solid
support of the machine.
"But,' sharply resumed the
speaker. rousing himself from a
short reverie, 'the fact is none of
us have any intelligent or re-
liable idea as to how this thing is
gong to turn out. The meetings
indicate hardly anything. There
is really no orator in the party
except Floyd, whose eloquence is
winning him votes right along.

The opponents OF Governor
Ellerbe do not seem to be making
much headway. The only thing
which could defeat him has been
Col Watson's bugaboo of corrup.
ton, etc, slung about in South
Carolina politics so often recently.
Col w atson has not met the de-
mands of an inquiring public by
making good his charges and un-
less he does so very soon, must of
necessity suffer from the recoil of
a badly loaded gun. We have
great respect for the Colonel and
are willing to believe that he was
honest In his charges, but at the
same time we think he was m;c.
taken, and we yet believe that if
he cannot substantiate his re-
hections on the Governor; in due
time he will admit his error.
Uncle George Tillman. with his
characteristic honesty and candor
has publicly announced upon the
stump that he believes Governor
Ellerbe to DO q pure man, saying,
rs is characteristic of the man,
that if he believed him to be other
wise he would say so. Green
