THE DRIFT.

-Four years ago 48 mere electoral
votes would have elected Bryan. To
be elected now be must get that m ny
votes in addition to those he had in
1896, and if he loses any Of his form!
er votes he must get enough in a'.di
ton tc make up FOR the loss.
In 1896 several States on each side
were very evealy divided. A slight
drift would have sent them over the
line. Everything depends now,
therefore. on the direction of the
drift. A small majority in 4 State is
safe If the drift is in the direction of
making it secure
TIE Vermont election indicates Tat
what drift there is is t"aait B.yan.
The Democrats ara I'D. ''tabI :
stronger in Vermont ROW tan they
were four years ago. What ligh: does
that throw on the possibilities in
other Stateso
The Indications ar that The Eepub-
lican vote in Vermont has fallen of
about 20 Per cent as compared with
the CORES bonding election in 1896,
while the Democratic vote has in
creased abou, 16 per cent.
Indiana has IS electoral votes. In
1896 the Republican vote there was
323.754 and the Democratic sos. 573.
If the Republicans lose 10 per cent
and the Democrats gain 1o per cen,
the Republican vote in Indiana this
year will be 2o1, 37o and the Demo
cratic s54,573, leaving a Democratic
plurality of 65,oSS,
Mr.. L,ineolno denounced the

Now, the American armies are wa!

- Papers in South Carolina are becom'
ing more and more independent and free
thinking in their utterances. The people
are also growing more liberal. Newspa'
pers now say things with impunity which
would have played the mischief with
their businesses had they been said lO OF
Is years ago.-Columbia Record.
There is a good deal of truth in this
and we are glad to see it. Although
it is fact that the Farmers Alliance
is now in very sickly condition, il
not virtually dead, it is only fair to
say that to this organization, more
than to any other one influence, is due
the state of affairs described. The
Alliance appeared somewhat narro"
and hidebound at first; but during its
life it did much to develop breadth
and intelligence, not only among its
members but in all classes. The So
called Reform movement also helped
but after all that was only possible
as a development of the Farmers
Alliance.

- The Greenville News is getting it.
self talked about great deal, and a
number of contemporaries are de-
nounciug that paper as Republican.
Although against Bryan, for the gold
standard, and holding to other foolish
heresies, The News, in our view, lacks
a great deal of Republicanism. 1t is
seldom that we are able to agree with
anything The News has to say; but at
the same time we believe it has the
courage to say what it thinks, and that
we cannot help but admire. In view
of events that have happened since the
last Democratic platform was adopted,
and in view of the doubt involved
about the next platform, The News, or
any other paper, has right to advo-
cate whatever measures it sees fit
without forfeiting claims to Democra-
cy; but if the next Democratic nation
al convention again declares for free
silver and Bryan, and The News fails
to swallow both, we will be unable to
see upon what grounds it will be able
to base its future loyalty. In the
meantime, if The News can succeed in
making people do more thinking than
they have heen doing, its efforts will
do much good rather than harm.

THE COTTON MARKET.

Local cotton receipts have almost
ceased, only an occasional bale com
ing in. The price is still about the
same as during the past ten days
from 9 to Ct. The history of Thurs
days developments in the New York
Cotton Exchange, as reported by the
Associated Press, is as follows:
The cotton market opened barely
steady at 7 points higher to 6 lower
The opening was a poor response 10
the English cables, which showed an
advance of 4@6 points. Locally there
was an impression that the English
advance was the result Of manipula.
tion. The fact that later cables modi.
fed the early advance at Liverpool
had its effect, and our market soon be.
came irregular and at the lowest point
of the sessions showed q net loss oi
6@9 points. 1t took good deal OF
buying to keep prices from breaking
still more. But this was furnished by
parties who, for long time, have been
the leading supports of The market.
The buying of this character was at
times very heavy. Most of the room
traders, however, preferred to stand
aside and wait the receipt of more
definite crop news. Apart from the
special support given, the market had
a weak uudertone, as predictions poin.
ted to heavier receipts at the ports and
the interior towns. The close was
steady at a net decline Of 6@9 points.

TILLMAN AND SPooNER.-Senator
Tillman had another senatorial bout
today with Senator Spooner over the
Puerto Rican bill. Senator Spooner
was delivering a carefully prepared
constitutional argument in favor of the
revised edition of the Foraker bill.
Senator Tillman thoughtlessly plunged
in with series Of Interruptions, which
were more or less involved, owing to
the characteristic way in which they
were stated. Spooner's long suit is
constitutional law, and to the amuse-
ment of the crowded galleries and to
the discontinue of the senior senator
from South Carolina, the latter became
so tangled in the meshes of constitu-
tional law that he was obliged to cry
for help. By series of sharp, quick
replies Spooner placed Senator Tillman
at disadvantage, and then declined to
yield further. Senator Tillman said,
complaining ~ think it unfair for the
senator from Wisconsin to put me in u
hole and then refuse to give me chance
to get out again" daughter in the
galleries.)
Senator Spooner was allowed to con-
tinue his speech without further inter
ruption from Senator Tillman.-Wash-
ington correspondence News and Cou'

- The opposition to the Hay
Paunceforte treaty is being based
mainly upon the fact that the people
of this country do not like the ides
of being dictated to by Great Britain
Great emphasis is laid on the fac'
that if we are to build the canal we
should control it, and that it is none
of Great Britain's business. This idea
is correct but the feeling it engen'
ders seems to be based upon false
premises. Of course. if the United
States digs the canal, there will be no
confusion on the question of owner
ship. If we expect to get along with
the balance of the world, we must
treat all alike, and if we treat all alike,
we will have no use for Notifications
on the canal. So really we do not see
where there is any good ground for all
the fuss that has been raised. We fear
that much of the anti-British argu-
ment that has been used in the case
has been principally for purposes OF
prejudice. AS has already been stated,
there are those who do not want this
canal built, and these are up to all
kinds of tricks to prevent further de-
velopment of the scheme. Instead of
attempting to dictate to the United
States on the neutrality question, Great

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Rev. J. B. Bozeman, for the past
two years pastor of the Baptist church
at Marlborough; but whose present
home is Kershaw, is in Yorkville at
the invitation of the Baptist congrega'
ton. 1t is quite probable that he will
be called to the pastorate of the York
Vile Baptist church.
Labadie's Faust company, which ap'
peared in the opera house last Tuesday
night, gave capital performance, in
fact one of the best that has ever been
seen in Yorkville. Mr.. Labadie, as
Mephistopheles, was exceptionally
good, and Mary Won Tromp as Margue-
rite gave creditable account of herself.
The support generally was quite salts
factory but there was nothing espe-
cially striking il the work of any OF
the other players. The scenic effect
was unusually elaborate, and the audi
ence was struck with the fact that
the company complied fully with
its promise not to use single piece OF
local scenery. 1t had, of its own,
everything necessary for aproper pre-
sentation of the play, and the story
was we'll brought out in most of its de-
tails. The audience was quite small.
This may have been due id some
measure to the Lenten season and in
some measure to the threatening con-
dition of the weather. Rain com.
menced about night and continued
until after the performance was over.
But whatever may have been the cause
of the small audience, this is matter
in which Mr.. Moore, during his short
experience as a manager, has been
unfortunate. He has had
three first class shows in succession.
All have been above the average, and
on each occasion there has been rain.
On each occasion also, the audience
has been small. Tuesday nights audi
ence was one of the most appreciative
that has yet gathered in the opera
house, except probably upon the recent
of the New York Sympho-
ny club; but even though they be ap
preciative, small audiences do not af-
ford a great deal of consolation to a

manager who has exercised especial
pains to give the people good show.
So it will be well for the people of
Yorkville to take fair warning. If they
expect to continue to have the refusal
of plays of this character, they will
have to be somewhat more liberal with
their patronage.
The members of the Yorkville base
ball team had their first practice meet
ing on the grounds of the club last
Thursday afternoon. There were not
enough present to play ball but any
how those who were there put in an
hour supling up their joints. 1t was
decided that from now on the team
will practice regularly on Wednesday
and Friday afternoons at 4 o'clock.
Up to this time the teams list of mem.
bers does not include one full nine
but there is no reason to doubt that at
least 1s good men will have been Sc
cured during the next few weeks. In
addition to the local players who have
already signed the roll, there are quite
number who will give their hearth
est active cooperation from now on,
and there are also several good play
ers off at college. These will be home
soon. Manager White has lots of faith
in the local baseball material. He
SAYS that there is as much first class
baseball stuff here as in any other
town he knows of, and he intends that
it shall be fully developed. One seri.
GUS trouble last year was too much
dependence upon the assistance OF
players from other towns. Fully cal.
culating on such assistance, the play.
ers who were relieved by it failed to
practice as they should have practiced,
and as the result they never got them
selves into shape to play anything like
as good ball as they were capable of
playing. This, Manager White very
correctly holds, is all wrong, and be
does not propose to have any more of
it if he can prevent. He proposes to
give the boys to understand from the
start that upon their own skill and &C.
tivity will depend Yorkville's baseball
supre macy, and he is confident that
they will prove equal to the situation.
He said yesterday: ave are going
to have team this summer that will
be superior to the best team of pro.
fessionals that was gotten together at
any time last summer, and before the
season is out we are going to have the
scalp of every team that will play
with u.s."

IF it had been practicable to hold
a national election last September upon
Admiral Dewey's return to the United
States, and the admiral had known
enough then to allow himself to be-
come q candidate, he could no doubt
have been elected but it is too late
now. The Dewey boom is played, and
it is doubtful as to whether the ad-
miral can get the nomination of either
politital party. He certainly could
not get the Democratic nomination,
and the chances of McKinley's nomi-
nation by the Republicans are as good
as are the chances of Bryan for nomi-
nation by the Democrats.
