Writing with Both Hands.

The Columbia State. in noticing tho
application for pardon of Chaplin, of
Greenville, convicted of killing CRUDE,
tho conviction resulting in part from
evidence that CRUDE was left-handed,
says that it is now plain that CRUDE
was ambidextrOus and that the Gov
ernors action depends very much on
his being satisfied that such was the
case. This circumstance causes the
State to further remark as follows:
zone of the remarkable cases of
ambidexterity is Senator B. r. Till
mans ability to write with either hand
-or with both hands. He can use his
left hand as we'll as his right, and he
can use his right very we'll. 1t is said
that once when he was Governor he
had a-great many papers to sign. He
used both hands then, signing his name
twice at the same time"
The late Samuel G. Black, of Charles
ton, had the same accomplishment.
He learned to write with his left hand
during the war, at time when his
right hand was injured, and when his
right hand got well he found he could
write with either with equal facility.
The gentleman who furnishes the
information about Mr.. Black remarks
that double-faced opportunists in this
State would probably find this double
handed accomplishment of great use
in writing their double-meaning
speeches.-Nems and Courier.

publican party favored such an inter-
national agreement il it could be
secured. That immortal declaration
twice made MIR, Mckinley President,
and the fidelity with which the pledge
has heea fulfilled the world knows.
The word has gone forth from the Ad-
ministration that Senator Cullom must
be the next Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations, not
only to keen Senator Ledge. with his
radical ideas about abrogatine the
-Bulwer Treaty, away from
that post, but also because Cullom has
taken n strong stand for reciprocity
and Lodge is opposed to it. Thoug!:
there has been no open public avowal
on the part of the Administration of
what the Home Market Club would
call "backsliding," the suspicions of
the Protective Tariff League which are
finding expression appear to be we'll
founded. A determined contest be-
tween the Administration forces and,
the most stubborn protectionists of the
party is expected over the question of
reciprocity on the opening of Congress.
The conflict is not confined to the
question raised by Representative Bab-
cock, who proposes TO place products
of the Steel Trust on the free list,
but extends to the policy of opening
new markets and of fostering trusts as
means of underselling rivals in foreign
markets. The President holds the
