THE announcement is made that
Vice President Hobart will not re-
turn to his official duties at Wash
ington. This assures vacancy in
the presiding chair of the Senate for
the third time in about eighteen
years. The two other instances
were, the promotion of Chester A.
Arthur to the presidency, through
the death of President Garfield, and
the death of Vice President Hen
bricks, of Indiana, during President
Cleveland's first term. Senator
William p. Frye of Maine, who has
for some years been president of the
Senate pro tempore, will be entitled
to retain the position through the
balance of McKinley's administra-
ton, and he will call the Senate to
order when it assemblies in Decem-
Der.

The present municipal election
is about the quietest Columbia has
known. 1t is the calm after the
storm, as it were; two years ago was
the storm, now comes the calm.
The pace was rather too hot then :;
now they are going it in jog. The
Cameron ticket has card in this is
sue uannouncing their platform 1t
deals rather much in generalities; we
should have liked it better had it
been more specific; but still it is a
good platform, and we believe the
men on it will carry out their pledges.
The election is next Tuesday; and
unless the day is particualy pleasant
or the interest grows between now
and then, the vote will not be overly
large.

IF you cannot enthuse over the
city election proper, may be the
stock law will arouse you. III the
election is run too much on the dead
quiet to stir your interest, politely
inform your neighbor that you in
tend to vote against her cow or his
hog, and you will see the stars shoot
without fail. This stock law ques-
ton, which has puzzled and per-
picked 50 many boards of aldermen,
has been relegated to the people !;
and the people who have been howl
ing for a stock law for 10, these
many years. now that they are given
chance to get one, are as compla.
cent and lukewarm and Indifferent
as if they had never said anything
about it. That is our objection to a
still hunt " campaign. 1t lulls the
people to sleep, and after the cleo
ton is over they wake up to find out
that they didn't know anything
about it. A campaign without any
issues, is a campaign without any
interest. Public questions to be
voted on, must be discussed. The
last two hot campaigns (Which now
seem to be disoN ned by both par
ties), have done more for Columbia
than all the say-r othing campaigns
that preceded them. A public sem
timent was aroused, and the people
educated to condemn the lax admin
istration of laws, to openly espouse
and demand the enforcement of
laws against gambling and Sunday
whisky selling, until with even an
opposition board elected, the laws
were strong enough to stand alone,
and backed by public sentiment de-
mand their OWE enforcement. An
abandonment of fighting campaign
is an abandonment of that important
vantage ground from which the peo-
pie may be aroused and encouraged
to organize and stand For what is
right and condemn what is wrong.
The fact that there are no issues in
this campaign may make it easier
sailing fol- the candidates, but it is a
distinct loss to the public at large.

THE Supreme Court at Knoxville
Saturday handed down an important
decision, holding what is generally
known as the "age of consent" law,
to be constitutional. Several of the
Circuit Judges of the State had de-
cided the law to be unconstitutional,
but this decision will of course set
tie the question. 1t is good law
and should stand. The only objec.
ton to it is that it don't go faI
enough.

Ex-Gov. TAYLOR is reported by
the Chattanooga News as saying,
II am for Carmack for the Senate;

the same interview he is quoted as
saying, "You could hardly expect

THE political pot which has been
only simmering for the last week or
so, is beginning to boil some more.
Carmack'5 friends are working with
renewed zeal and earnestness, and
their tone and manner ali proclaim
that they think they have entered
the winner. Mr.. McMilin's friends
are handicapped by the attitude of
their leader. They don't know
whether to say he Will or he won't,
and the Carmack men are twitting
them numerically. In the mean
time the report comes from Nash
vile that Jim Head and his friends
are growing restless. They say that
Mr.. Head did not make the race for
Mayor just for fun, but to show his
speed and strength and staying quail
tiles. 1t was the accepted opinion
at the time when Head announced
for Mayor that McMillin would run
for the Senate, and that the guber-
material stake would be a free for-all
and Head has been training along
that line; and now he does not like
for Mack to change the program on
him. The play is becoming inter
esting. 1t is MIR. McMillin's move
and the longer he waits the more
complicated it will become.

ALL through the course of the
Philippine muddle President Nc
Kinley has been careful to keep the
country in the dark as much as pos
sible. What were his instructions
to Gen. Otis? What directions did
he give the Philippine Commission?
What were the concessions asked by
Aguinaldo before fighting began,
and what terms did our army Off
GERS offer? What is the arrange
ment with the Sultan of Sulu? What
were the contents of the dispatch

THE recent large purchases of
phosphate lands in the Carriers
Greek neighborhood by Swift " Co.
and the Virginia Carolina Co., are
happy auguries of Maury's future.
Swift & Co., as all the world knows,
are the mammoth packers who run
fertilizer works in conjunction with
their meat bus;nt SIS. The Virginia
Carolina Co. is the combination or
trust that controls the largest of the
Southern fertilizer concerns. 1t
has many millions invested in
the business. Both of these vast cor
porations expect to dig their supplies
of phosphate rock from their
Carriers Greek mines. They
chose this locality above all
Others, though they had the world
to choose from. They are in posi-
ton TO know the best mines of the
world and have the capital to buy
wherever they wish. The fact that
they have bought the Carriers Creek
property and are mining it for their
own use, is assurance of large and

come. 1t is not impossible that the
mines on that side of the river will

THE issue in Alabama between
Senator Morgan and Governor John
son, is "Imperialism." The Senator
is an eXpansionist, the Governor is
not. The Senator's friends are be-
ginning to explain that he has not
been exactly understood; that he
has been misquoted, etc. In short,
they are beginning to train the old
Senator back into line, for fear he
may get run over by the crowd if he
gets out of place.

ACCORDING to Manila dispatches
under American surveillance, the
American army has marched on for
six months without one defeat to
stay them, routing the enemy day
after day, and chasing them further
and further into the heart of the
country. And yet if the map is
consulted it will be found that the
distance travelled in straight line is
not further than from here to Louis
vile, and that the Filipinos are as
far from capture as when the first
gun was fired.

MIR. McMILLIN MUST TALK.

MIR. McMILLIN MUST TALK.
Before Mr.. Carma"k entered the
race for senator, it -semtd Il foregone
conclusion that Governor McMillin
would be a candidate. Since then
the question has been raised, and the
public has waited patiently these
weeks for an answer. But now
pate nee Ia beginning to give way,
and there Is a manifest desire for the
Governor to speak out.
Certainly this is not an unreason.
able request. It. is not mere idle Gu
riosity to be satisfied, but there is
business behind il. There is no dis
position to shelve Mr.. McMillm; no
more is there a disposition to give
him 1.-TWO chairs" If he wants to be
Senator, he ha- right to ask for it
and run for it. Or if he prefers to
follow the well beaten path of two
terms as Governor and then the Sen
atorial toga. it would simplify mat
tiers some, for the present at least.
But The people will not submit to
Mr.. McMillin holding on to the CUB
ernatorial chair and running for SEN
atOr, at one and the same time. That
might seem all right from the Nc
MILAN standpoint, but that gentle
man should not forget that there
'are Others"
There are others possibly who
would hazard their chances against
Mr.. Carmack, with McMillin out of
the way. There are others certainly
who would try for rhe governorship,
with McMillin out of the way. And
we submit that he ought not to stand
ia the way of so many; some Of
whom are quite as deserving of con-
sideratiOn and preferment as he.
Hon. James M. Head, Nashville's
new Mayor, whose majority over the
street railway companies, the Nash
vile American, ard all the other
corporations and combines and trusts
was greater than the entire vote of
his opponent, it is believed has an
hor Q able ambition to be Governor.
His relations to the Governor are
such that of course he would not
stand in the way for a second term
but if Mr.. McMillin does not intend
to run, Mr.. Head no doubt would
like to. And there are thousands OF
people in Tennessee who would de-
light to honor Mr.. Head. He is an
able man and a sound Democrat; he
is man of pronounced convictions
and a man of courage; his private
life is without stain, his political
record without blot. Why shoUldn',
his friends be allowed to nominate
him and elect him? Why should Mr.
McMillin's pre-empted occupancy O.
1.-TWO chairs" stand in the way of such
men as James Head? Would it no
be less selfish, would it not be NOR.
