THE VOTE FOR JONES.

The Ohio politicians are all at sea
over the candidacy of Jones, who has no
platform except the Golden Rule as
he puts it. He was chosen mayor or
Toledo over strong Republican and Dem
ocratic candidates chiefly by the labor
vote. If his vote is large and should
be drawn chiefly from the Republican
party, the Democrats will carry the
State. The Democrats have no chance
if Jones gets a big vote from their ranks.
1t is said by many that Jones is the
pivotal factor in the contest. He is
a millionaire who made his money
through the invention of sucker rod
used by all oil wells, but he shares his
dividends with his employees. He is said
to be crank. but is regarded as hon
est. He claims that the Republican
and Democratic leaders have entered
into a conspiracy to keep down his vote.
Writing about his candidacy and from
which party he will get most of his
NpIeS, MI. II. l.. west says III tire
Washington Post:
whether or not he is the victim OF
a conspiracy, Mr.. Jones is the pictures
que figure in this campaign. He is also
the uncertain factor. No one is able
to predict the total vote he will receive,
nor whether he will drain most largely
from Democratic or Republican ranks.
The Democrats claim that it is the Re-
puhlicans who will suffer most and the
attitude of the Republican organs tends
to confirm this opinion.
AS il through preconcerted action,
these newspapers all over the State have
suddenly begun to ridicuie Jones. His
meetings are belittled and scoffed at. as
in the State journal the other day,
while the Cleveland Leader calls him Il
sanity hypocrite, and a few other choice
names. The others are warned against
following his doctrines, a position which
would not be taken if he were not
making nroads i'll the party ranks. Ger
tain it is that he will make some havoc
in strong Republican districts. Jones

TEA CULTURE IN THE SOUTH.

Some ten days ago we printed an IN
teresting article with Illustrations, OF
the success which DIR. Sheppard had
made in tea culture in South Carolina
1t is well known that tea as good as
any grown in Ceylon has been raised in
Cumberland county. Ex-Comnnssioner
of Agriculture lie Due, who made Fay
etteviIle his home while acting as bank
receiver. said that the climate and soil
were admirably suited for tea culture,
and that all that was needed WAS enough
capital to be employed by men trained
in growing and curing tea.
1t seems from the Savannah Morn
ing News, that the South is to have as a
citizen a distinguished gentleman who
will cultivate tea. The News says:
ut is reported ON what is claimed to
he good authority that Sir Thomas Lip
ton, owner of the Shamrock, contem-
plates engaging in the tea growing bust
ness in South Carolina. The story is
that he has been so much impressed
with the success of DR.. Sheppard's tea
raising experiments near Summerville
that he is willing TO invest 100000 in
the enterprise.
'';Sir Thomas knows much more about
tea than he does about yachting. He
is at the head of one of the largest tea
concerns in the world, and is producer
as we'll as Il merchant. He has large
estate in Ceylon and elsewhere in the
far East, upon which several thousand
hands are employed in tea cultivation.
Sir Thomas also knows something about
South Carolina, having lived there a
few years, when he was much younger
and poorer than he is now. If it is true
that he viii go into tea cultivation in
that State, it is because he is satisfied
he could make it success. He is a
very shrewd and careful business man.
There is not any question about the
possibility of successfully cultivating the
tea plant in the South Atlantic section
That it will grow and thrive here has
been demonstrated repeatedly But
making tea cultivation pay is another
matter. Indigo will grow here roo; but,
like tea, the preparation of it with our
available labor has been too costly for it
TO be profitable Sir Thomas purposes,
no doubt, to employ the colored labor
which is plentiful in South Carolina on
his proposed tea plantation. If he can
make that labor profitable in the tea
fields and curing houses, he will point
the way to a new industry for the
South"

A SENATORIAL PRIMARY.

suit would be to keep the senatorial

The speech Of Senator Pritchard, ~
which he seeks to array the ignorance
of the State against its intelligence

the Republicans are willing to make.

appeal directly to the masses without the
intervention of other issues. 1t also

A DESERVED REBUKE.

The later news from the Presidents
Western tour indicates that all was not
plain sailing. There were few open
scenes like the one when the audience
rebuked the Secretary of the Navy for
giving Sampson the credit for sinking
Cervera's feet, but there was a strong
undercurrent of hostility to the Presi-
dents idea of forcing our rule on the
Filipinos. The Chicago Chronicle, which
is waging vigorous and able warfare
against Imperialism, prints the speech
made by Governor Lind, of Minnesota
which did not appear in the official re-
ports. At the conclusion Of the Presi-
dents speech, Governor Lind turned to
Mr.. Mckinley and addressed him in
these words:
Mr. President the era Of the volun-
teer soldier will come to an end with
the conclusion of your administration,
for il the ideas you have just promul-
gated were carried out by Congress No
volunteer soldier could be had to hold
up your hands, for to do so would sim
ply mean the subiugation and oppres-
sion of a people fighting for liberty The
volunteer soldier as we know him,
thank God. carries a conscience as well
as a God"
Governor Lind and the volunteers are
evidently disciples of Lincoln rather than
Of Mckinley and Mark Hanna. Mr..
Lincoln once said:
Our reliance is in the love of liberty
which God has planted in us: our de-
Tense is in the spirit which prizes liber-
ty as the heritage of all men in ali
lands, everywhere. Those who deny
freedom to others deserve it not for
themselves, and under just God can
not long retain it."
We are not told how Mckinley hooked

do not wish the President any harm.
