Senator Tillman has sufficiently
recovered his strength to again
take up his pitchfork. He made
a strong speech in Congress on
Thursday apropos of the Hawaiian
annexation and the effort of the
Republican party to establish a
government there in the interest
of the white people on the island
when they number but one out of
30 of the inhabitants. Referring
to the policy of the Republicans
in the administration of Southern
affairs just after the war, he said:
"We were then in South Caroli-
ma, attempting to establish white
mans government. The Republi-
can party interfered with us then,
or attempted to do SO, protesting
to hold opinions about the sacred
rights of the majority to rule. I
should like to know whether the
Republican party has changed its
opinion on this subject of the
right of the white man to rule, for
if it has, and will extend it to the
southern states, will vote for the
treaty.

The Hon. B. NJ. Shuman and
H. J. Hayusworth leave today
to attend the United States court
of appeals, which convenes in
Richmond, Virginia, tomorrow.
At this session of the court two
cases against Dunkip will be ar
gued. They are suits brought
against the township to recover on
bonds issued in aid of the c. K
& w. railrod. This road was never
completed and the township, very
naturally, is resisting the payment
of the bonds.
Mr.. Shuman goes to argue the
case in behalf of the township and
Mr.Haynsworth will appear for The
plaintiffs, who are non residents
of the State.
The payment called for by the
bond is resisted on the ground that
the statutes under which they were
issued are unconstitutional. The
objections raised against theil
validity involve some very nice
and interesting points of law
About $4,000 depends on the
question.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Tillman, McLaurin, Talbert and
Latimer Entertainingly Re-
ferred to.
SOUTH DAKOTA IpEcAc.

Inc following excerpt lioul
recent Post report of certain
executive session proceedings IN
the Senate has caused a great
many thoughtful and sympathetic
peaple to interest themselves in the
senior Senator from South Caro-
lima:
"Sen Morgan had spent some
time in detailing his personal
experiences II the Hawaiian
Islands. and had described the
Kanakas as a picturesque people,
who would be much better off
under a government by the United
States. He spoke of the ladies
going barefooted along the streets
in long, loose gowns, which we call
Mother Hubbards,' and the men
with little clothing, but yet strong
AID manly looking fellows.
"Here Mr.. Tillman, of South
Carolina, broke in and asked:
How many of them are allowed to
vote?'
"I,et me answer the question: ,
said Senator Kyle. of South
Dakota; how many of such people
are allowed to vote in your State"
"'I've had that crammed down
my throat retorted Mr.. Tillman,
until you make me puke.'
"Senator Mason, of Illinois, was
in the chair. Order, gentlemen,
order," he said. 'We can have no
puking here. Senators who desire
to puke must retire to the cloak
room.'
"It is hardly necessary to say
that this remarkable con iersation
rather shocked the Senate" :"
Senator Tillman in a card to
the Washington Post, says the
report does him ''grave init stice,
because of the suppression of
what preceded and succeeded the
offensive epithet. My retort was
garbled and not an answer to Mr..
Kyle's remarks at all, or ia the
Language used"
SENATOR MLAURIN.
l sm sorry to say that the
Junior Senator, John McLaurin,
continues in feeble health. He
has been confined for several
weeks at his home (501 B street,
N. E.) with typhoid fever. His
presence is greatly missed in the
Senate chamber, where he is
becoming quite as popular as he
was deservedly SO by all parties
alike in the House. l venture to
say Senator McLaurin is as much
a general favorite in Washington
as in South Carolina.
