General Hampton SPEAKS.

We see 1t stated in the newspapers that
General Hampton will vote for Mr.. Bryan,
and that he thinks the gold Democrats ought
to do the same thing.
or course as long as the white people OF the
South are chained to the Democratic chariot,
all sorts of Democrats may be expected to
vote for Mr.. Bryan, no matter how much
they may dislike the free silver plank.
This newspaper is not informed what the
anti-eXpapsionist mean Tor want. If they
want to throw away the Philippine islands.
and desire to dlshonor the army and the sol.
diers who have been fighting the battles OF
their country, we think that they are on the
back track, or at least on a very cold trail.
We also see from some of our exchanges a
spirit of intolerance for such Democrats as
have principles which are not in accord with
their own. Judging by the utterances of
some OF our respected brethren, they would
show no quarter 10 such of US as do not agree
with the majority of the party.
Except for the anomalous condition Of the
South which forces every white man TO vote
the Democratic Ticket we do not believe that
the free silver plank would have been put In
the platform. The fact that we are bound to
vote the Democratic ticket, whether we like
IL or not, has the tendency to develope intol-
erance for the minority, and disregard for
their feelings, convictions and wishes.
If the authorities who control these matters
would reduce the Southern representation IN
Congress by eliminating the negro, the white
voters of the South might become freemen.
and the leaders would sssek make theii
party populag.JNstead of using it as an en-
g'ns q Oppression.
.-sfhe white people Of the South deserve po
ltlcal freedom. and we want TO reduce South
ern represen tation, If that reduction should
relieve US OF the source Of irritation, and the
grounds of Republicans for seeking to defame
us at Washington.

SIObbering Over Bryan.

The Legislature OF South Carolina in the ab
sence OF something better to do, passed for
NAL resolution inviting Mr.. Bryan to address
that body one day last week. Charleston. not
to be outdone in foollshness, sent delegation
urging the distinguished free silver speaker
to go to that city. That delegation was orna
mented with silver dollars pinned to theil
coat tails or lappels. The great orator con
sented to divide time between Columbia and
Charleston. The Legislature was OF course
Instructed, and the Charleston audience went
into ecstacies. The great lecturer then pro
ceeded on his way to Florida, where he viii
repeat the same old story, with perhaps the
chapter on free silver blue pencilled, for the
reason that the question of IL to is no longer
a question.

Harmless SDeaking.

Mr.. VIM. J. Bryan says that he loves to
speak to college students. Their minds are
in the plastic state, and are in condition to be
impressed with the truth. 1t is no doubt all
right to speak to students. but we doubt the
propriety of turning colleges into political
machines for the advancement of party In
terests. The principle plank in Mr.. Bryan's
platform has been knocked out--l6.to.l. He
now goes of on the trust and anti-imperialis-
tic planks. He can talk as much as he pleases
on these subjects without giving offence to
anybody. Neither trusts nor Imperialism
have any friends hereabout.

Porto Rico.

The most interesting question now before
Congress is the status of the newly acquired
islands. 1t seems TO US that they should be
regarded as q part OF this country, and that
free and unrestricted trade should be estab-
lished between them and the States. or
course such change of the commercial rela-
tions might for time disturb some interests
but the change would be for the welfare of
the great mass OF the people, and those who
suffered from the change would soon adjust
themselves to the new order Of things. Let

marks. The fact that there
2{nen in this State, any one OF
Il like to occupy his seat In the
lay have had nothing to do IN pre-
Hg utterances which were not pleasahI
Ycomplimentary TO Mr.. Mcl.aurln.
The people OF South Carolina may oe aoun-
dantly satisfied to excuse Senator MclIaurln
from further service in Washington. VI thls
we do not speak, but of one thing are quite
certain, and that Is, that the people Will not
vote against him because he had the good
sense. the patriotism, and the courage to vote
his convictions against what seemed at the
time to be the popular clamor.
The Tinted states has never acquired loot
of territory without the strongest objection
from good men. Many good men objected 10
the acquisition of the Philippines, but, since
the fact has been accomplished, that opposl-
tion is now dying out, and the good sense OF
the great mass of the people is being conVinc
ed ofthe wisdom of the government in taking
possession of the islands. In three years from
now not a corporals guard OF anti-expanslon
lists can be found in all of South Carolina.
The history of all previous conquests' or
acquisitions, Is not different from the incl
dents that characterize the present situation.
The Philippines have been ceded to us, and
they are as much part OF this country rs the
soil OF California. The Philippines being
part OF this country, the whole power OF the
American army and navy will be exerted IN
defense of those islands. Intrusion by u for
eign foe would be resented. And in three
wears from to-day this country would as will
lingly yield the State Of California as 1t would
be to abandon the Philippine islands
If any gentleman is seeking the scalp OF
Senator McLaurin he may get 1t, but certain
ly not because he voted for the ratification Of
the Paris treaty ofpeace.

man from the stage Of life. The deco

became possessed Of a certain secret
that dies with him. Mr.. Chittenien
was the last survivor of the few who
knew the name Of a man in London
who, during the war. made loan ot
e1.000.00 sterling, worth then, owing

10 avoid notoriety, he stipulated that
his name should never be known, aud
it was never known to more than four
persons. of whom Mr.. Chittenden %
the last to die. The loan was made
through Charles Francis Adams, then
our minister at the court Of st. James.
Adams stipulated that the national
benefactor should accept 100000 ia
United States coupon bonds. He did
not wish to do so. but finally agreed.
In order to get the bonds signed ~

DEATH is EVER PRESENT.
Makers of the DeadIiest Poison Ever
Discovered by Science.

A factory for the manufacture of
some OF the deadliest poisons known is
located not far from the heart of New
York city, and sufficient poison is be
ing made there now to annihilate the
whole population of the greater city.
1t is guarded carefully from all N
truders, and no one passes beyond It's
portals without a special permit and
even employees have to be skilled in
their work and understand the nature
of the risk they take before admittance
is granted them. III this factory Is
manufactured pure anhylrous acid.
drug that is never placed on the mar
ket in it's pure state. and even in the
chemists laboratory it is handled with
all the care of poisonous reptile, If
the fumes of this acid should ESCAPE
the chemist would never live to tellthe
tale The man who discovered it was
killed inhaling is fumes, aud many
another has met similar death,
From to per cent. of this acid
diluted with 81 parts of water forms
prUssic 5cid. Even this poison is so
deadly that inhaling its fumes would
mean instant death, ard It is never
handled except in the factory or few
large responsible laboratories
Probably next in Importance to this
acid is the cyanide of potassium, which
is manufactured in another part Of the
building, where a fireproof and air
tight wall shuts it from the first. The
fumes of this are not poisonous and
one can work in the room where it is
nelufactured without fear, except he
not touch it. The slightest quantity
of the poison in its pure state would
kill 81 swallowed. The fumes Of
syanide Of potassium have a rather
pleasant odor, and it is said at the fac
tory that it has a witching effect on
workmen For all the world the
finished poison looks like crystallized
sugar, and as you gaze on it and smell
the fascinating odor there is a strong
temptation to taste it. This fasclna-
ton is probably much like that which
draws man over a steep precipice.
At any rate, the attraction to taste Of
the poison is so well recognized that a
workman is never allowed in the room
alone. In the mixingroom, where the
men toll before a huge caldron of mol
ten cyanide, the scene is like that Of
some old witch's cave, especially if one
knows the nature Of the terrible poison
that the men are brewing.-Spokane

which made the nave resemble the in
