NEED OF MORE TOLERANCE
Ex-senator Butler Endorses NC
Laurin and Approves the Course
of Mckinley.

Gen. M. G.. Butler has been inter-
viewed by correspondent of the New
York Sun, and his views are quite
favorable to the attitude of McLaurin,
as follows:
What, in your opinion will be the
effect In South Carolina of Senator
McLaurn's attitude toward the De-
mocratic party?" was asked of Gen.
Butler.
ooh, WE'LL" he replied, " you know
what Gen. Wigfall used to say: IF
there is anything God Almighty does
not know it is what will be the out
come of popular election or the YER
dict of petit jury There is no
telling what twelve months will bring
forth In the politics of this country.
If had been IN the Senate | would
hnve voted just as McLaurin did, with
the exception, perhaps, OF his vote for
the ship subsidy bill. And yet there
are plenty of preccdents in Democratic
history to justify a vote for that bill.
South Carolina subsidized every rail
road built in the State by subscribing
to the capital stock of the companies
up to the breaking out of the war. II
l am not mistaken this course was pur.
sued in behalf of every railroad with.
out exception.
alt will be insisted, perhaps, tha
there is difference in principle be
tween such action by State and by
the Federal Government. The Fedora
Government certainly subsidized TO th'
extent of millions and hundreds O
millions Of dollars the Pacific railroads

JOHN e. CALHoUN's FORMAL WooING.
Though an ardent lover frctting at
times slow course until his wedding
day, John g. Calhoun wrote but one
letter to his sweetheart this pretty
consin, Floride Calhoun All the other
communications, when the lovers were
separated, we're made through her moth
cr But shortly before their marriage
" the Great NulIificr," wrote exercising
his anxiety for the arrival of the happy
day, and the letter recently come to
light is published in the Ladies' Homo
Journal After giving hearty expression
to the JOY he has found in her company
the letter runs:
g. 1t gives me much satisfaction that
time and absence make no impression
on my love for you it gloTs with no
less ardor than at the moment OF part

permanent nature Wncn mere personal
charms attract, the impression may be
violent but cannot be lasting, and it ro
quircs the perpetual presence Of the OBJ

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, September 30.-The small
volume of the trading today and the
tendency of prices to retract the earlier
downward movement revealed the
predominance of professional operations
in the market. The dealings were less
than half a million shares and the late
hardening movement retrieved approx
mately one half of the early decline.
There was no very urgent selling mani
fest at any period of the day, although
the bears succeeded in uncovering stop
loss orders in sugar and to smaller
extent in Brooklyn Transit and Mis-
souri, Pacific. The first named stock fell
an extreme 3-S and the other two J
points. Declines reached points or
over in number Of other leading
stocks. notably among the Paciflcs,
Southwesterns and Vanderbilts De-
ciines OF to Az among the junior VAN
derbilts gave emphasis to the feeling
of skepticism that has grown up regard
ing the much exploited rumors OF q
plan for merging all the members OF
the group. Amalgamated copper con-
tingued under some pressure, but the
declines were resisted. The firm tone
of the spot copper market in London
helped the stock and it closed with a
net loss of Is. Assertions were made
in q demonstrative way that the United
States Steel stocks were to be advanced
this week on the ground of the declara-
ton to be made tomorrow OF the regu-
lar quarterly dividend on both the COM
mon and the preferred stocks and on the
presentation Of detailed statement OF
the finances of the company at tomor-
rows meeting, but these intimations did
not cause a rush to buy the stocks
spectators persisting in distrust of in
dustrial stocks after the recent expert
ence in Amalgamated Copper. State
ments that working agreements had
been made for the continuance of West
ern Union wires along some railroads in
which Pennsylvania has interests We're
| offered as disproving apprehension of
hostilities between the Pennsylvania
and the Gould interests. The adrnis-
| sion of an additional Standard Oil rep

garding the money market future,
seemingly With little cause, as sterl-

The fact that railroad earnings for the
third week in September increased over
the corresponding week of last year only
4.46 per cent compared with an increase
for the second week Of 11.72 per cent was
cited as evidence that the corn crop
shortage was beginning to make an I'M
