CASTING THE POLITICAL HORO-
SCOPE.

We have been often impressed with
the fidelity to the south and the good
sense and timely suggestions of our
able contemporary at Charleston, the
venerable News and Courier. While
so many newspapers of all sorts and
classes, are burying themselves with
considerations bearing upon the future
of the democratic party, and urging
this or that as necessary, the Charles
ton paper keeps cool and level-headed
as is it's wont. 1t says. for instance
that I'VE regard all such arguments
and movements as ill-advised and un-
called for just now for the one suffi-
cient reason that the days immediate
ly following a reverse at the polls is
not the best time for considering the
conditions of the party and making
plans for the future. The next presi-
Dental election is full four years dis
tant, and there will be plenty of leisure
in that period for the due considera-
ton of all the questions involved in
our recent experience, with the aid of
more information as to its causes and
in business in the north that the pres
ent era of wide prosperity, high prices
and vast commercial activity will not
last much longer-surely not for four
years to come. There are already
many visible signs of change, and
within year or so they will no doubt
increase and emphasize attention.
The Rochester On. YD Herald says
falling prices already foreshadow in
evitable commercial declinsion and de-
preston. If opinion does not follow
in four years it will be a marvel, for
it is a fact that the last eight panics
in the United States were preceded by
remarkable era of prosperity, high
prices and business activity. That the
sea upon which the Mckinley crowd
shall sail shall not be altogether calm
and pleasant is almost assured. That
having ''sown the wind" they shall
reap the whirlwind' may be prophetic
now but shall become history before
1904, is about as certain as anything of
a political future can be. The News
and Courier, using the editorial in the
ment and quotation, says impressively:
"Tney will be hampered and harassed
by the growing number and complex
ity of the foreign troubles they have
made. They will, it is not to be doubt
ed. finding themselves strongly in
trenched in every branch of the Gov
ernment, display all the arrogance
usual with victors, and we shall have
force bills, subsidy bills, enormous ex-
penditures and heavy taxation, and a
disregard of constitutional principles
in dealing with the colonies, that will
almost inevitably assure a democratic
victory in 1904" one that will be
sweeping in it's extent and that will
mean something when it is achieved.
With Mr.. Bryan in the presidential
office the commercial depression and
every other evil consequence of the
republican policies for the past two
years would be attributed to his party.
With the republican administration
in power there will be no mistake on
the part of the people, and no room for
a mistake as to where the responsible
ity rests"
