SAVE THE REPUBLIC
Will be the Watch Word of the
United Democracy.
EMPIRE AGAINST REPUBLIC.
Chairman James K. Jones Says
the People Make the Is
sues and Sentiment
is United.
is United.

'I am of the opinion that the Kan
sas City convention will be the most
harmonious ever held by the Demo.
Gratis Of this country, and that it will
be a veritable love feast in which the
Democrats from all sections Of the
country, including those who differed
with the Chicago declaration of 1895,
will unite in one determined, patriotic
effort to save this country from the
imperialists and the money-grabbers."
Chairman Jones of the National
Democratic Committee, spoke the above
words to the Washington correspond
ent of the Atlanta Journal last Wed
nesday. Writing Of the matter the
correspondent says this is held By all
of the party leaders in Washington.
As to the issues of the campaign it IS
recognized that the people make the
issues, and the overwhelming impor-
tance of the problems that have arisen
since 1896, make them Of necessity the
leading questions in the campaign.
1t is Empire against republic" and
that will be the battle cry that Bryan
will sound throughout the length and
breadth Of this country during the
months Of August, September and Oc-
tober. There will be no abandonment
Of the other principle fer which the De-
mocracy stood four years ago. The
threat Of large standing army and the
trust question will each be pressed Wig.
orously upon public attention. The
charge will be made that the admins
tration has not enforced the antitrust
laws although pretending to be anxious
to suppress these combinations.
Democrats will argue that the pres
ident improved condition Of business'as
compared with the condition few
years ago, comes from the enormous
production of gold, the money metal Of
final redemption, aad that this In
creased volume shows what al increase
Of money will do. They will contend
that they have never advocated an un-
limited increase of money, bat only
such increase as would restore prices
to the old normal level and maintain
them there. With regard to the Dem
ocratic vice. presidential nominee, moth
ing has been settled. There is gener-
al disposition to believe that this prob.
lem can safely be left to the wisdom OF
the convention,

An Inhuman Father.

"l'll make you know and obey
your daddy" said j. X. ?. Keaton,
surveyor Of Dougherty County, Ala,
Wednesday as he emptied pistol
at his son Walter, agedl9. The youth
was fatally wounded in the side.
Walter Keaton and several companions
of about his age had been sitting on the
porch of the house talking and laugh
ing boisterously. The noise seemed to
have annoyed the elder Keaton. ''Stop
that racket he demanded of the young
men. All of Walter Keatons COM
panions left, but he laughed and asked
his father jokingly what he was going
to do about it, ''l'll show you, he
said: ''I'll make you know and obey
your daddy" Whereupon he opened
fire upon his son. Keaton, Sr, is IN
Jail and the young man will die.

a Unique Petition.
To the Editor of The State.

1o the Editor OF Ihe otate.
Probably the most unique petition
ever presented to a governor of South
Carolina was that of 10 maidens. Has
the reader ever heard of it? Let me
tell about it. In the year 1874 Is young
women signed a petition. 1t was not
about woman's political rights as some
of my readers, nor was it against In
temperance, but it was against
widows These sixteen demands ap-
pear to have been as much opposed to
widows as was MIR. Tony Weller when
he continuously advised his son Sam to
beware of widows" The petition
complained that the widows captivsted
all the marriageable men and the COVER
nor was asked to order that no man mar
rying for the first time should marry a
widow. We 90 rot know what the
governor said or did about this remark
able petition. What could he do? We
presume this petition can yet be found
somewhere in the secretary Of State S
Office. 1t would be interesting to learn
the names of these sixteen outspoken
maidens.

a DARLINGTON Murder.

There is a revolving tale Of a homi-
eide that has just come fully to light in
Darlington county. 1t occurred last
week on the plantation of Evan Lide
near the city. The two Gibson broth
ers, Perry and julie got into row OF
some kind and Perry was shot, MIR. Lide
heard the shot and the subsequent
scream, He thought that some one had
shot dog. Next morning Perry was
missing and julie said that he had gone
over the river. The morning after the
shooting the negroes working in the
field saw julie go to the woods, with a
wagon and get load of straw and haul
it to his house. Later they were
surprised to see him hauling it away
again. Nothing more was thought Of
the matter until few days after, when
party of negroes were returning from
work through this piece of woods and
saw the load of straw piled up against
tree. They heard groaning under
meath it and thought that pig was
under there. The next incident in the
story was that number Of hands work
ing on an adjoining plantation saw julie
haul something into one Of Mr.. Lide's
corn fields and get out Of the wagon with
spade and dig hole and later take a
large bundle from the wagon, dump it
in the hole and cover it up. They were
suspicious and reported the matter to
MIR. Lide, who investigated and found
Perry's body buried there: julie was
arrested and put in jail. He has
confessed to the killing of his brother
but claims that he did it in self defense.

EaYors Trusts

If the Republican party were really
opposed to trusts in practice as we'll
as in theory that party would pass the
House antitrust bill in the Senate and
send it to the President. This bun
combe measure which both parties
joined in adopting is really only an af-
irnation Of the common law. The
Democrats succeeded in getting some
campaign advantage ont Of the dis
cussion by putting their opponents on
record against an amendment authoriz-
ing the President to place on the free
list articles in which he is satisfied
there is combination in restraint Of
trade. This was too practical thrust
at the trusts 1t was defeated by vote
of l22 to l33. .-Philadelphis Record.
