In a Bad Position

Oar Judgement is that the Republi-
can party was never in greater danger
than it is ROW. Rejoicing in what is
claimed to be great victory and
having complete control of the cxecu
tive and legislative branches of the gov
erument, the leaders feel that they have
a free rein 10 icgisIate as they please.
That every piece of partisan legislation
enacted by thc next congress in any
way relating to finances Will be dictated
b they motley power goes with GU
saying. it is almost u certainty that
some one Of the various currency re-
form bills nov before congress, with
perhaps i few trihlug amendments III
matters Of detail, Will be enacted into
law This will not only commit the
Republican party thoroughly to the gold
standard, which it has SO often con-
demned, but it will do more. 1t will
include the retirement of all national
paper currency and surrender the en-
tire control of our paper money to the
banks, leaving ali business at their
mercy.
This IS scheme that can never be
defended in hegreat forum Of the peo-
pie. We also believe that the prosperi-
ty wave based upon dollar wheat,
etc., has reached its height and broken
upon the shoals. The war excitement
will have passed away, and the people
will be prepared to consider calmly
the questions Of its management, and
especially the bond issues and other fl
nancial measures designed to furnish the
money for it prosecution. They will
see that there was never more un-
necessary measure tan that which
authorized the issuance of $500, 900, 900
in bonds, and they will not forget that
the administration bill forced through
the house by whip and spur provided
for 500, 900, 900 more than that sum.
They will see that Wall street infu-
ences absolutely dominate and control
the leaders Of the Republican party and
that the interests Of the common peo
pie receive no more consideration at
their hands than maybe deemed neces-
sary to enable them to carry an cleo
ton. The masses Of the voters cannot
be deceived all the time
In 1888 Benjamin Harrison car
ried Kansas by $4,000 majority,
which population considered, made it
the banner Republican state. The
next yearit was swept by a tidal wave
of Populism. If the allied forces will
lay aside all selfish chickering's and
thrust into the background everything
except the great principles upon which
tkey arc agreed, We believe that their
chance of electing president in 1900
is now decidedly better than it would
have been if they had elected majori-
ty of the house We grant that we
wanted to carry it, and especially re-
gret the unexpected losses in the sen.
ate. But there is ''silycer lining
nevertheless, and we look for glori-
Gus sunburst in 1900.

passed through Inka, Miss, some IN
known persons set fire to the ammuni-
ton car, which was almost filled with
cartridges and powder. 1t was entirely
destroyed and the rest of the train was
barely saved. Three Negro women,
who were following the troopers, are re-
ported to have been killed in the burn
ing car. A dozen Of the men we're in

car was discovered by trainmen and

Desperadoes Held in Check.

There are many indications that
Manila is full Of desreradoes who had
intended to cooperate with Aguinaldo.
The police are continually capturing
men and women with weapons concealed
in their clothing. The vigilance Of the
authorities in this respect is highly
reassuring. Last Saturday about mid,
night two Englishmen accidentally en-
countercd gang of armed natives in a
dark side street. The natives, fearing
discovery, imprisoned, them until
morning and threatened to kill them
unless they maintained silence. Many
native clerks employed by mercantile
houses are missing. AS it is impossible
that they should have passed the lines,
the inference is that they are in hiding
in the city. Several attempts were made
to assassinate Americans on the streets,
but that danger is now at minimum.
The natives are terribly cowed and the
precautions taken, especially against IN
cerdiarism, are admirable.

Heavy on Strait.

In speaking Of the Strait address.
which is published in another column
the Columbia Record handles the ccu-
gresham without gloves. We quote
the Records article in full: The
time for the withdrawal from congress
of Dr. Strait, the representative Of the
fifth district, is close at hand. He sig
nalizes the nearness of that event by
publication Of screed in this morning 5
State in which he makes vigorous and
wholesale assault upon Senator McLau
rim. The junior senator is amply able
to take care of himself and The Record
will not seek to forestall him. But
when DR.. Strait makes an attack on the
forty movement, that is horse OF an
other color, for the editor Of The Re
cord had much to Go with the inception
of the forty movement. When Dr.
Strait says the forty movement has for
its object the distinction Of the Re
form party he makes foul and false
imputation of treachery against forty
two (for that was the real number) OF
the purest and ablest men IN the he
form party. Whatever may have been
the effect Of the forty movement, its
opject was the good Of the whole state
Of South Carolina, an object which it is
noble to seek to accomplish, even in
the expense Of party or fractional advant-
age. Possibly that principle is too
lofty for DR.. Strait to appreciate, just
as his intelligence seems too dense to
grasp the difference between object
and effect. The forty may have been
misguided or mistaken. On that there
may be room for argument. But it
cannot be questioned that their mo-
tivcs we're pure and patriotic. DR..
Straits successorin congress was a lead
er in the forty movement, and that
fact may account forDr Strait sanimosI-
ty to the forty. 1t is probably true
that the forty movement is responsible
for bringing about a condition ofatfairs

Farmers and Fertilizers.

Whether it is owing to the agitation
to reduce the acreage or whether the f.
nancial condition Of the farmers is such
that they cannot purchase fertilizers,
the fact is that up to date less than
half the amount of fertilizers has been
bought this year than there was last.
Those who watch the trend of events
say that this means less cotton plant
ing and more grain. This is said to be
particularly true Of the up country. In
the middle and coast sections of the
State it is said that about the same
amount of cotton will be planted as
last year, but even in these sections
more attention is being paid to the
raising Of home upplics.-Charleston

WAYS or CANTON PIRATES

In China Their las ness IS Ne'lnef Lax
Nor Dangerous.
Probably never since Canton was
open TO foreign trade, says Mr.. Consu
Brennan in his report on the trade o1
the city, has piracy been so rife a7
during last year. The boldness OF tha
pirate is, however, surpassed by ting
apathy Of the provincial Government
Perhaps the word piracy is scarcel9
applicable to the acts of these advent
turous robbers. They have no armed
craft Of their own with which to give
chase and run down thir victims. Tn9
usual plan is for 4 band OF hail q
dozen men to go on hoard a passenger
launch disguised as honest men. Whe1
a suitable spot IS reached they throw
off all disguise, overawe the crew
and passengers by fourishing revolt
vers, and then half the party stand
by ready to shoot while the rest pro-
ceed to search the passengers and the!1
luggage; and when they have taken
all they want they transfer themselves
to another boat or .and near friendly
village, where division OF the spoi1
takes place. They are not devoid OF
a certain chivalrous feeling. Cases
have been known where, after having
robbed some rich passengers and mace
good haul, they have restored to the
poorer passengers what had alreacy]
been taken from them. On other oc-
casions they have overpowered tne1
master and crew Of launch and DOT
rowed" the use of the vessel for feW]
hours, during which they have over

4 young married lady one moraing
gave her husband sealed letter, which
he was to read when he got to his Office.
He did so, and the letter ran as follows:

that may give you pain: but there Is no
help for it: You should know every
thing. whatever be the consequences.
For the last week | have felt that it
must come to this, but l have waited
until the last extremity. Do not over
whelm me with bitter reproach, for you
will have to put up with your share OF
the trouble as we'll as myself. Cold
pers spiration stood in thick drops on the
brow of the husband, nho had prepared
for the worst. Trembling, he read on:
Our coal is all gone. Please order a
ton g be sent this afternoon. I thought
you might forget it for the tenth time,
and therefore wrote you this letter. "
But he didn't forget it that time.
THE feeling is growing among many
prominent Democrats, and some Repub-
licans, that the only plan to prevent
the purchase Of senatorial and other
Offices is to amend the constitution,
giving the people the right to elect BY
direct vote. Even that old and emf
nently conservative paper, the Phila
delphia Record, takes strong grounds
in favor Of that view and asks: Must
the country forever witness the recur
renee of these scenes of corruption?"
1t looks as if this is the only plan to
prevent corruption and purcha..e Of
offices.
