- Cleveland, Ohio, has been the
scene, for several weeks past, of 8
great street railway strike. All the
union employees of the consolidated
street railways have been implicated
and there was so much violence that it
became necessary to send most of the
state militia to Cleveland in order to
restore order. Now that order has
been restored, the striking employees
have instituted a formidable boycott,
not only against the street car compa-
ny but against people who ride in the
street cars and against people who deal
with people so riding. Nearly all of
the union men of the city engaged in
various trades are giving their support
to the street car employees, and at the
present time the conditions existing in
the city are described as being very
serious.

We had thought THE YoRKv1LLE
ENQUIRER had enough of shop talk; but
THE ENQUIRER is keeping up the discus
sion, having gone to England for a text
The State.
If The State so desires to character
ize what was said last Saturday, we
have no objection. Furthermore, THE
ENQUIRER will continue to discuss
such matters when it sees proper; but
it promises not to do any whining
along this line, nor to try to make the
public pay for anything it has seen fl
to publish free of charge.

- There has been a diplomatic con-
troversy on hand between the United
States and Canada for several months
with regard to the Alaskan boundary.
The controversy was precipated by
the discovery of gold in the Klondike
regions, and the dispute is based on the
confused meaning of the terms of the
original agreement under which the
boundary line was settled. Lately,
the Canadian members of the commits
sion having the matter in charge, have
been doing some silly talk about the
probability of war. There is reason
to believe that the United States will
not only get what it is contending for
but it will do it without any resort to
arms. Great Britain has no intention
of getting into any serious trouble
with this country. She has too much
sense.

SCHOOL CHART OPINION.

The question as to whether the
claims on account of the Evans School
chart purchases will be paid has not
been settled yet. Of course, many OF
the claims have already been paid, and
about these there can be no further
trouble. But there are other claims,
about the legality of which there is
more or less doubt, and the attorney
general is still being besieged with
questions about them. One OF the lat
est opinions is as follows:
Hon. M. B. McSweeney, Governor.
Dear Sir: The communication of j.
H. Thompson, county superintendent
of education of Lancaster county, re-
ferred to this Office by you for advice,
has been considered.

The cotton baling fight continu

- The cotton baling fight continues
to progress merrily. The compress
companies are greatly interested,
They, of course, are opposed to a sys'
tenn that congresses cotton at the
gins. So far as they and the round
bale people are concerned, it is ques'
ton of dog eat dog. Both are work
ing for selfish interests. But still the
cotton farmers have an interest of their
own to look after. They care nothing
whatever about either the interests Of
the compress people or the round
bale people. The compress people dc
not corncern them one way or the
other. The round bale folks, how
ever, are trying to get closer home.

There is Fort Mill man, however,
who is said to believe that he would
make as good a sheriff as anybody,
and there is Broad River man who
views his own qualifications in the
same light. Rumor has it that there
are also others.
Auditor Boyce, of course, now has
no other idea than that be will stand
for another recommendation, and it is
reported that at least one of his for
mer opponents-probably two-will
try conclusions with him again.
Superintendent of Education Car
roll will not be allowed to restin peace,
either. So far he has fulfilled expec-
tations and complied with promises in
a very satisfactory manner; but Mr..
Cansler and others who were in the
last race with him are still satisfied
that he is not the final sober choice oi
the people of the county, and they are
going to do what they can to make ii
even more lively than before.
Colonel McCorkle is going to sit
quietly by next summer and watch the
fun. 1t will be an off year with him
Nobody thinks that Mr.. Finley will
be troubled much next summer. As
yet he has had no opportunity to make
a record, and there will be no reason
able ground for criticism until during
and after the next session of congress
1t will probably be too late then for an
opponent to get things in shape for an
effective campaign next summer.
While the political situation is very
quiet just now, the general public
should not deceive itself into thinking
that the politicians and those who are
filling the different public Offices are
asleep. Figuratively speaking, they
never sleep. On the contrary they are
eternally vigilant, as is necessary fol
people who would "get there"

A NEW Story ABOUT TILLMAN

A NEW STORY ABOUT TILLMAN.-
Washington is great place for auc
tions for the sale of everything-furni'
ture, new and secondhand, jewelry, 25
cents diamonds, and the genuine article
tapestries, bric-a-brac, antiquities, pic
lures, unclaimed express packages, old
Junk, real estate and the miscellaneous
aggregation of the pawn shop. 1t is
place of transient abode. People
come, stock a house, and 60, leaving
everything to be sold under the ham
mer. The socially ambitious some
times come here to spread themselves
and finding that money will not do the
the trick, or the supply of money run
ming out, they disappear and large
stock of expensive truck is offered al
a bargain. At all auctions there are
certain regular patrons. They are rec
ognized by the auctioneer and their
trade is highly valued. They come be-
cause they enjoy auctions; not because
they want any of the articles sold
They like the mild excitement of the
bidding and the search for bargains
Thew are victims of the auction habit
Senator B. r. Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, is one of these auction fends. he
has been known to buy in vast quan
titles secondhand furniture, bed
springs, old chairs, kitchen tables, and
what not, the only recommendation be-
ing that they are cheap. What he
ever does with the truck he picks uE
nobody seems to know, though some
say he ships it to South Carolina to Dc

FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Superintendent of Education Car
roll has completed the apportionment
of public school funds based on esti-
mates of this years assessment of tax
able property. The various amounts
to which each school district will be

taxes are collected as assessed. The
money, of course, will not be aVaila'

- The advice of the Natchez, Mis-
sissippi, paper recommending that the
farmers of the south hold back one
third of their cotton crop is as good as
it ever was but the farmers have not
been able to do anything of the kind
heretofore, and there is as little rea-
son to hope that they will be able to
do anything of the kind the present
