SENATOR HANNA refuses to dis
cues the Pennsylvania coal miners
strike. at ought not TO be mixed
with politics." he says. OF course
not. 1t Ia too delicate a question to
discuss just before the election. To
inquire where these men came from,
might hurt the feelings of the trust
magnates who imported them here,
contrary to law. TO ask why the
grand old party permitted such i'm
portations, bringing tue pauper labor
of Europe in competition with the
honest labor of America, might raise
a hard question for the Senator to
answer just before the election. To
Justify theirrevolt, might materially
les,en the Senator's Doodle campaign
fund. To take sides against them
would lose him the vote OF labor or
CARNATIONS the country over. Ger
tainly the Senator is right in trying
to keep the question out of politics

IT is frequently asked, "why can
not we have an old time crowd at
the Fair?" The old time Fair,
where the best men of the country
went and took their entire families
and spent the day, did not have any
pool sellers, or houchee-couchee
dancers, or slot machines and other
gambling devices. 1t is these OBJ
jectionable features that keep the
conservative people away, and pre-
vent them from bringing their
baskets and enjoying the social fea-
lures of the day.

THE phosphate men of Mt. Pleas
ant alone, not to mention the mer-
chants. farmers and land holders of
this community, have enough cap
ital lying idle, TO put that railroad
on foot and to start the work of
building it. The movement, once
started, would take like wild fire,
and before many months, cars would
be running over the tracks. Who
will start the movement?-Mt Pleas
ant Chronicle.
One reason why this business
should not be allowed, to lag any
longer, is that we are losing so much
money while we wait. Another
reason is that if the l.. q N. sees
that it is going to be built anyhow,
they will build it thems elves, and
then we would be no better off than
now. Let's employ man to float
the bonds for US, and build the road
ourselves. Then we will know that
the l.. & N. has nothing to do with
it and can exercise no sort of control
over its freight rates.

JUSTICE Is as strictly due be-
tween neighboring nations as be-
tween neighbor citizens. A high.
wayman Is as much a robber when
he plumbers in gang as when sing
ly; and the nation that makes an
unjust war is only a great gang"
ITO me it seems that neither
the obtaining or retaining of any
trade, how valuable soever, is an OBJ
ject for which men may justly spill
each others blood; that the true and
sure means of extending and secur-
ing commerce are the goodness and
cheapness OF commodities, and that
the profits of no trade can ever be
equal to the expense of compelling it
and holding it by fleets and armies

Bryan.

Claim for Wartime Services.

Among the many claims against the
United States government in connec-
ton with the war of the rebellion
there is rather peculiar one that has
just been made public. The claimant
is an old man named Gibson. who
makes the remarkable declaration that,
though he was appointed by Secretary
Stanton to conduct recruiting station
till the close of the war, he never re-
ceived any salary. Now he is trying
to collect $4,000, which, he says. is due
him for his services. Gibson is Sc
years OF age and lives in little back
room near the entrance to Brooklyn
bridge.

Hon. j. b FRASER, Democratic
Elector for the State-at-large, will
sneak here next Tuesday, and Hon.
Benton McMillin will speak the fol-
lowing day. Mr.. McMilin needs no
introduction. Our people know him
and have heard him. He Is the
standard bearer of our party, and
as such, aside from his personal
merit, he should have the compli-
ment and encouragement of large
audience. IL is time, indeed, that
we were waking from our lethargy
and getting to work for Democracy 5
sake. The Republicans are schem-
ing and at work, and the so called
independents are ready and willing
to help them for the pitifnl promise
of divide of the spoils; and with
old foes confronting us, and enemies
in the camp and lethargy in the
ranks, we are taking too many
chances for presidential year. 1t
Is time we were buckling on our
armour. But what we started out
to say was aword ufintroduction for
Mr.. Fraser. He is one of the most
charming men and forceful and
eloquent speak ers In Tennessee. He
is able and eloquent and pleasant to
listen to. He is man of conviction
and character and learning. He
deserves crowded house; and If he
gets it, our word for it, every man
who hears him will hear him again
the very next opportunity he has.

PREVENTED A TRAGEDY.

Timely informtion given Mrs. Georg 2
Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, pre- =
vented dreadful tragedy and saved
two lives. A frightful cough had long
kept her awake every night. She had
tried many remedies and doctors but
steadily grew worse until urged to try
DIR. Kings New Discovery. One bottle
wholly cured her, and she writes this
marvellous medicine also cured Mr..
Long of a severe attack of pneumonia.
such cures are positive proof of the
matchless merit of this grand remedy
for curing all throat, chest and Jung
troubles. Only soc and $l.00. Every
bottle guaranteed. Trial bottles free at
Woldridge's drug store.

Tho Turpentine Treatment.

There is little settlement of New
Hampshire people in Kiowa county,
Col. Among other things, they
brought with them the New Hamp-
shire aversion to using any more
words in conversation than are alb
solutely neces iary. Two of them
met on the roa1 recently and in
dulged in the following dialogue:
"Mornin'. ST."
"Mornin, JOSH"
"What'd you give your horse for

"Turpentine."

A few days later the men me:

Food of Rugged People.

Peasants of Russia live mainly upon
thin vegetable soup, sauerkraut, rye
bread and oil. The Scotch highland
er, whose courage and hardihood is
proverbial, seldom touches meat, liv-
ing mainly upon oatmeal, vegetables
and buttermilk. Among the most ac-
tive and vital people Of the world are
the Irish peasants, whose diet con-
sists almost entirely OF potatoes aud
buttermilk. The farmers Of Corsica
live a.: winter upon dried fruit, main
ly dates and polenta (chestnuD meal.
During the middle ages the Mours
used to provision their fortified cities
with ehestnuts and olive oil. Chest
nuts provide almost a perfect food
and. in fact. they constitute a staple
article Of diet among the 1sasantry Of
certain portions Of Italy.

THE striking miners, fifteen thou
sand in line, made a great parade
through the streets of Wilkesbarre,
Pa, yesterday. On their banners
we're inscribed such notices as
these: I'VE want our dinner-pails
filled with substantial food, not coal
barons taffy." 1--WE will no longer
be slaves" The sympathy Of the
country is with these strikers. The
coal barons have worked them at
barely living wages, and by COM
mlssary stores, rent charges, long
tons, etc, robbed shem Of part Of this.
Hence the prejudice against the
barons and sympathy for the
strikers.

OUR Republican friends seem
unable to get together in the
Congressional race. The regulars
won't consent to vote for an indie
pendent who brags about the num-
Der of their meetings he has "re-
journed" in the past, and the indie
pendents won't nominate a regular.
So to keep from confusion worse
COMPOUNDED, they meet and adjourn.
Well, that's their business; but it
does seem that they are giving them
selves a great deal of worry for
nothing; for whoever they put out
will be beaten to death.

Mr.. MCCALL, the Republican can
date for Governor, in his opening
speech made certain specific charges
against Mr.. McMilin's administra-
ton. Mr.. McMillin In his speech at
Murfreesboro characterizes Mr.. Nc
Ca.fs charges as false, and then
makes a statement of his own, and
concludes by saying that he will pay
the cost Of an investigation by any
competent, fair committee, and if
they do not find that his statement
Is true and Mr.. McCall's false, he
will quit the race. Now Mr.. Mccall
should accept this challenge or con-
fess himself discredited.

SATURDAY is the day appointed
for the Democrats to select delegates
to the legislative convention to meet
here next Monday, and also the time
to elect a new County Democratic
Executive Committee. The HERALD
ia not interested in the matter fur
Their than to remind our Democratic
readers that it is an important cleo
ton, and that they should not forget
or fail to go to the polls and vote
The reason the Republicans can
charge that Tennessee is "the worse
governed state in the Union" is be-
cause the men who ought to control
elections-men of age and affairs
and dispassionate judgm eut-stay
from the primaries and permit Just
any aX-grinder who will, to represent
them. The best men of the county
oaght TO be sent to the convention
Monday, and men equally as good
should be elected to serve on the
County Committee. If you won't
be delegate, and won't be a COM
mitteeman, then don't complain if
things don't go to suit you.

OPERA HOUSE.

The Olympia Opera Co. appeared
Tuesday night TO" four nights en-
gagement. The company is strong
one, but they have had small audi
ences. 1t is to be regretted that
company so capable as this one
should fail to draw at least fair
house, for they are deserving of
patronage, giving, as they do, light
opera to the very best advantage
The voices, costumes and players
are all good. Said Pasia,"
"Olivette" and Princess of "Trebi-
zonde," successfully, have been
played.
Mr.. Sam Rhys, has played the
violin the past three evenings during
the performance, and showed COM
plete mastery of his instrument. He
plays with purity of information and
finished technique, while his bowling
is exquisite. If you have not heard
him, do so this evening. Ii you
have heard him he il worth hear
ing again.
A Real Marriage.
Between the second and third
acts, an interesting event took place
last night on the stage, when Mr..
Norton Langford, treasurer of the
Olympia Company, and Miss Adele
Ferguson, lyric soprano, were united
in marriage, Esquire R. H. Guest
officiating.
"Maloney's Wedding, farce, will
appear at the Opera House on Satur-
day evening.
russo & Hollands Big Minstrels Fes
tival played to fair house Monday even
ing at the Opera House, and those at
tending went to their homes very well
pleased. The stage pictures were bright
and attractive, the music good and the
specialties exceptionally fire. When
they come again they will draw better
house.

ONE YEAR OLD TO-DAY.

From Wednesdays DAILY HERALD.l
This is the DAILY HERALD's first
anniversary, and we ask our friends
TO rejoice with us.
Other things being equal, the first
year of daily newspapers life is
the hardest. So we enter upon our
second year with stronger hope and
brighter promise.
IT Columbia can and will support
a Daily paper one year, it can and
will support 1t always, unless CO.
lumbia goes backward; and you
don't believe that Of Columbia, do
you?
The DAILY HERALD has not
merely existed, and drawn its sus-
tenance from somebody's bank &C.
count, or made promises to pay,
based on the hope of the future.
But it has actually made its own
living from the start; and while it
has no big bank account to brag on
now, 1t nevertheless has paid its way
and has more cash money and good
accounts than it started with.
The DAILY HERALD is an estab.
lished feature of Columbia's life
now. The public has ceased to look
upon it as a venture; they now re-
gard it as an institution. They no
longer question its staying qualities,
but accept its daily visits as a mat
ter of course, and would be no less
surprised than sorely disappointed
If any accident should hinder it even
for day.
Our business this year, being more
than we expected has been entirely
satisfactory. We have no COM
plants to make; nothing but thanks
to return for the kind, cordial greet
Ing given us by the reading public,
and the liberal patronage shown in
our advertising columns. They
have been to US on" strength, as we
have been to them, we hope, a
helper. United we stand, and
together let us build up each other.
No public enterprise of laudable
nature shall fail for the want of our
support. Whatever will improve
the morals, help the people, build up
the town, may claim our aid. That
is our duty and our interest, tor as
the town grows and business pros
pers, so must we. Aside from that
gratitude to people whose parti-
atty has forgiven our mistakes, Elk.
cused our faults and condoned oul
short comings, places upon us al
obligation we can only attempt tC
repay.
A daily paper, however small il
may be, is no one mans work. The
editor, though he gets blame enough
Heaven knows, gets credit some
times he does not deserve. Withou
a competent and loyal force, thu
DAILY could not have succeeded. 1
takes men who will work withou
being watched, to make a daily
paper go. Editorial work proper, Il
small matter compared with tba
of the printers and proof readers
repertorial chasing and ad soliciting
So whatever of merit Or success W,
msy have achieved, belongs 20 n,
one man, but "the force" and t.
that force, one and all, the HERALI
