United States Senator Eikins, of west
Virginia, says that there is no basis for
the report that he is being considered as
possible candidate for the Vice Presiden-

1t may be matter of interest TO some
to hear that such an autocratic ruler as
the Kaiser has never been crowned, and
that that article of regal insignia is not
in existence, but has yet to be made for
the august William II. The sovereigns of
Italy, Spain and Belgium have also never
undergone the ceremony of coronation.

They are telling a story in Chicago
about an advance agent for the Thomas
Orchestra who recently went TO New Or
leans to book dates for concerts. He was
told, however. that it would be well for
him first to talk the matter over with a
wealthy woman who is a leader in the
musical circles of the city. So he called
at her residence, a great, old fashioned
brick mansion surrounded by a high
brick wall. The gate was locked, and a
ring brought out an old negro, who took
the callers card, on which was printed
the legend, Representing the Thomas
Orchestra" Presently young woman
came to the door. holding the card in her
hand. She did not seem to understand the
object of the call. The agent attempted
to explain but was cut short by the
young woman, who said: Il don't think
we want any music to-day"

In our Charleston dispatches a few days
ago. referring to the race for representa-
tive in Congress from the First South
Carolina district, it was stated that Mr..
Barnwen was the logical Charleston can
didate." and that Col. Elliott announced
a year ago that he would not contest the
seat with representative Charleston man,
inasmuch as Ghe city had befriended him
in former contests" Just why Mr.. Barn
well should be the logical candidate" is
somewhat hazy, unless it is because he
wants the office. He is an able man, but
so is the man he seeks to displace. Be
sides, Col. Elliotts experience and high
standing in Congress would make him
a more valuable representative to his con-
stituents than MIR. Barnwell obuld be for
several years. In so far as any announce
ment by Col. Elliott that he would not
oppose a Charleston man is concerned,
it is stated to us upon authority that no
such promise was ever made, and it is re-
called that he would have had opposition
from a Charleston man in his last cam
paign but for the fact that his prospective
opponent died just before the primary cleo
ton. II is very strange, by the way, why
there should be a disposition 90 array
Charleston against Col Elliott. 1t appears
that the commercial organizations and
many of the leading men of the city are
favorable 10 his candidacy, and the Con-
gresham has demonstrated upon hun
bred occasions that Charleston never had
a better friend in Congress than he. If it
were possible to make the claim that the
change of congressman would be for the
better then there would be good ground
for Democratic opposition to Col Elliott;
but no such claim has been or can be
made in sincerity.

The Toast of the Armx.

From Leslie's Weekly.
Where lie the bamboo cities
Mid Orient swamp and cane;
Where palm and sapodilla
wave green Ger Spanish Main;
We toast our colors streaming
The banner of the free
And, eyes and glasses trimming,
We drink, oh, land, to thee.
The white, crisp Northern winter,
The broad, still plains of snow,
The fair and sunny Southland
Where scented breeZes blow;
The busting mart and market
Whose buildings skyward stand,
The wastes of pear and cactus
Along the Rio Grande.
Oh, far deserted quarters
Oh. path and lane and street,
The scenes that now as eXiles
We find We hold most sweet.
Tho fettered are our bodies.
Our hearts may truants be;
And so tonight, a legion,
We drink, dear land, to thee.
Across the miles of waters
We bear the flag we love-
One country and one emblem,
One cause all else above.
Forgive us if we falter
(Thy sons who widely roam)
An instant while, in silence,
The soldier thinks of home.

LOOKING TOWARDS PEACE.


The presidents of the two South Afri-
can republics did not of course expect
! that Great Britain would grant the repub-
lies peace on the terms which they pro-
posed They hope, however, that they
Will be able to negotiate terms of peace
which will leave them their independence.
That there is very little ground on which
to base such a hope is evident from the
reply of Lord Salisbury.
1t is no doubt the purpose of the Brit
ish Government to put it out of the power
of the Beers 90 make trouble in South
Africa at any future time. 1t has a great
army there now, and it has cost an i'm
mense sum to get it there. The view that
will be taken is, doubtless, that it Is bet
ter to Oct the war continue a while longer,
il the Beers are not willing to surrender
Internationally, than to leave the way
open for more trouble.
The indications are that when the war
is ended if the British Government die
tates the terms of peace there viii be no
independent states in South Africa. 1t
was plain to be seen at the very beginning
of the war that il was the purpose of
Great Britain to make dependencies of
the two republics She intended if she
had TO fight, to fight to some purpose
And she cannot be blamed for insisting
on conditions that will make her position
in South Africa secure.
There does not seem to be any reason
for doubling that the British would ulti-
mately triumph, if the war should be con
CHI l,a
tons by European Powers, or by this
country. in the war for the purpose of
maintaining the independence of the two
republics. 1t is doubtful, however, if
there will be any interference The
United states have offered their services
for friendly mediation, and the offer has
been respectfully declined. They cannot
be expected to do anything more unless
il should be determined to risk becoming
involved in a war with Great Britain and
among the great body of the people there
is no desire for trouble with her
The sympa thy of the people is with the
Beers. 1t is the sympathy that is natur-
ally felt for weak people struggling for
liberty against a great and strong coun-
try. The fact is not overlooked that, al
though the Beers began the war, they
were compelled 20 do so. They either had
to fight or grant the terms Great Britain
demanded. These terms included con-
cessions to the outlanders which would,
within a very few years, have taken the
control of the Transvaal government from
the Beers and given it to the strangers
With the outlanders in possession the
British would have been supreme in the
Transvaal. Unless therefore the Beers
could maintain their independence by
force of arms they had TO give it up.
1t is hard for them of course to have
TO yield but it would seem to be the
wiser policy to get the best terms possible
and bring the war 10 an end They
could continue the war for a long time
and could make it extremely costly for
the British, but what is 20 be gained by
further sacrifice of life? If there were
reasons for hoping for success ultimately
a continuance of the war would be justiff-
able, but there does not appear to be such
reasons

politician who was trying to induce the
Senator to give him some railway passes

statement of the reasons why his needs

beggar interrupted him to get something

Look here" said the politician to the

street; this is my side"
Mr.. Depew laughed and gave to the
politician the desired passes.

extent to which the Dingley tariff weighs
upon American industry is illustrated by
the fact that in the seven moths ended

06S, 962. or about 500, 900 a year. To the
extent that these articles pay the tariff
