Ine0ualItieS In Salaries.

themselves worthy Of better salaries, and then
they will get them.
It is passing strange that there are those

The South Carolina Interstate and West

ton tea party, especially as TO the Woman's
Department. Nineteen counties, 1t appears,
have responded to an invitation from the
President Mrs. Sarah Calhoun Simonds, and
consented to unite their efforts with hers in
hill work all around. The exchequer ia not
overflowing, and the majority of the women
OF the State. outside OF the old City by the
Sea, have no enthusiasm upon the subject.
Both OF the Vice Presidents have been
awarded to Charleston. Why? The up
country women had right to expect at least
one OF them. They are as capable, as patri.

State as their sisters who live within sight of

canoe. does its own thinking. eschews all
leadership, despises dictatorahip, but pre-
tends to follow principles. We advocate In
our own weak way, those things which we
believe 10 be right; and while we are con.

the junior Senator happens to jump upon our
platform we are not going to abandon our
position on that account, nor shall we be
deferred from doing our duty, but shall
pursue the even tenor OF our way regardless

While on this subject, we should like again
to emphasize the fact that McLaurin has
little to do with the great humanizing and
revitaliZing movement that is now going on
in the South-a movement which means our
lost prestige and the ultimate triumph OF
democracy. We, OF South Carolina, now
have the opportunity OF dtspelling the dark
cloud Of ignorance, of superstition and pre-
jndice that has hung over us half q century.
This is the first opportunity the South has
had since the war between the States to take
part In the discussion OF national questions
great many OF Inhsc US have thought the demo emo
astray, has drifted from Its moorings, and
now in these off years, preparatory TO another
battle, We have the privilege OF saying what
we want and what we think should be incor.
porated in the national democratic platform.
Along the line OF the Ohio democrats, with.
out regard to the past, we can trim our sails
TO suit impending storms, arm ourselves for
present emergencies, and meet In manly
ways present problems.
Bryan is q great and good man. but bis
tyranny has played havoc with the party.
From the time the convention met It'll the

the nominees. Now when n ew platforms are
to be made, the individual voter, without
prejudice to himself, Ia as much entitled TO
advocate those principles which he believes
to be democratic as has be who has twice led
the party TO defeat. We may not soon re-
cover from the folly OF the Kansas City plat
form, but we can do the best we can, profit
by past mistakes. forgive those who have
done US wrong. ask pardon OF those whom we
have harshly Judged and sometimes grievousy
wronged, forget past humiliations and defeat.

Hon. J. L. McLaprin, Senator,
Dear sir: have read in the Press and Ban
ner OF 10th inst, the speech you delivered at

II is pleasure 10 me to congratulate you
on the mastery manner you are dealing With
the Important questions which confront as
at present. But. as for the following sen.
tepce,
"Paris, although numerically great, has NO
power as q commercial city Of the world. but
con tents itself with leading only In fashion
and scandal"
cannot approve OF the rather ;Tsvere judg.
ment you pronounced upon this splendid
oity.
Such an utterance falling from the lips Of a
United States Senator cannot fail to surprise
those who know Paris well. and tomewhst
70 hurt the feelings Of many South Carolin.
1sns whose ancestors II not themselves came
from Paris.
To Senator McLaurin, better informed or
less prejudiced, with her three millions people,
Parish would appear ifnot arst commercial.
ly, certainly second To no other city OF the
world as q leading center Of learning. intelli.
gence, chivalry, hospitality, uprightness and
behaviour. Respectfully,
Meschine.

She was courted by the young noble
man from the outset. She must have
encouraged him, for she was not many
months home when he came over the
sea to win her.
Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont, formerly
Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt, took the lead
in pointedly entertaining the duke, be-
traying the mothers aspirations for
her daughter. Marble House, her
splendid home at Newport, was the
scene of many social affairs of un-
wonted brilliancy. The duke paid such
open court to the young heiress that
it required no cleverness to tell that he
seriously contemplated carrying her
away to his English castle.
The real victor in the pleasant inter-
national affair was Mrs. Belmont. Her
pretty but shy and unworldly wise
daughter had made as brilliant match
as any mother might dream Of 1t was
all practically due to her skillful gen
ioiohip, III w lllc SClCuCc VI Ill
plomacy had been carried to it's ut

nestle affairs, which had long kept So
ciety's tongue busy, and which had
finally resulted in her divorcing Will

hastily by her marriage to Oliver H. P.
Belmont. In this respect she could
meet the duke on somewhat equal
grounds, for there had been domestic

THE pEruNcr ASSOCIATION.

The Indianapolis press and public
forts of President Watkins. Ever since
the Association collapse the News"
Sentinel" and Journal have been
severely criticizing the National
League, of which they were formerly
staunch supporters. The journal" re-
fuses to be placated, and its last hot
shot was as follows:
"The action of the National League
deserves the most severe censure from
lovers of the game. 1t sought to ho.d
together the old, worn-out ship for an
other season and then start anew with
bark that would sail for another
peariod of ten or dozen years. But
the "old women" could not fix the leak
that had been caused when Ban John
son and his associates of the American
League bumped up against the shaky
craft and they are now bowling and
scraping to the young American
League president. 1t must be a pleas
ant feeling Ban Johnson enjoyed when
he got the news of the surrender of
the so-called Major League mag
nates." Mr.. Johnson has not been
cracking his whip for nothing all the
winter. He has expanded and he has
builded better than even he anticipat-
ed. If base ball is not killed altogether
another season will find the game in
different hands,as Johnson is boss now
and will hold his advantage without
doubt. The National League is rent
asunder bacs5.se of disaffection in its
own ranks. The greed of certain of
the club owners, was too great for them
to stand-the pressure of a fight for
their holdings. The National League
has allowed it's ally to die in it's in
fancy and the next thing will be
funeral knell over the parent body"
The News" and Sentinel" which
could see no good in the American be-
fore the Associations death, are now
apparently very well disposed toward
the American League, and exhibit only
languid interest in Mr.. Watkins eff
fort to land Indianapolis in some
league or other. Altogether these, are
trying times for the city that counts
Mr.. John T. Brush among it's most
distinguished citizens.

FREEDMAN ON DEsERrERs.

President Freedman of the New
York club, does not believe in wasting
time and money on lawsuits in dealing
with ball players. On the contrary, he
has decided to blacklist all players
who jump his club, and he announces
that no man blacklisted by him will
be allowed to ever again play on the
New York Clubs grounds. Here is his
statement:
II consider each one of the deserving
players as having signed a contract
with the New York team when they
affixed their names to the option clause
in 1900. The lawyers whom 1 have
consulted say my claims would be
perfectly valid if l did not make an
effort to renew the contracts this year.
New forms have been mailed to the
players, however, which conform to
the contract approved by thinner,
president of the Players Protective
Association and which the National
League agreed to adopt.
$50 far as any players DESERVING the
New York club is concerned, l make
the statement that, as | consider them
contract bearers. the New York club
will never employ them again. If they
want to make their bed with the Am
erican League, there they may stay,
whether it be roses or thorns.
Mercer received the highest salary
of any National League pitcher last
year, and was offered the same terms
this year. Carrick was offered a $500
bonus to sign this year. don't see
how the New York club can be com
planned of as acting niggardly in the
case of either man. In common with
many others l am disappointed at the
action they have taken, as l cons:d-
cred them players of different calibre
from what they have proved"

Manager Hanlon, of the Brooklyns,
says: I'VE anticipate losing money
this season, but we will win in the long
run. The promoters of the American
league cannot stand the cost. Take
McGraw's club, for instance. 1t is one
of the best and cheapest in the new
league. His salary list will be about
100000, and his running expenses about
$4,000. II the Boston clubs salary list
is based on the figures it claims to be
paying, the pay roll will be about $45,-
900, and Philadelphia but little less.
This means for the eastern clubs an
average expense of $4,000 for the sea.

President Freedman having herald.
ed the fact that the New Yorks are
stronger than ever and will win the
pennant this season, Joe Will, that ex-
cellent baseball authority, remarks:
This has gotten to be an old WORKOUT
gag in New York. Ever since 1889,
when the New Yorks under Day, Mu-
trie and Ewing won the league and
the worlds championships the New
York club has been handing out the
annual chestnut that the pennant is a
cinch. The public, always indulgent,
has turned out generously with the be-
ginning of each season only to find
that the same old joke has been perpe-
trated Castoffs from other clubs,
green amateurs and broken-down old
men have been rugged up in uniforms
and placed upon the local diamond
with the idea that the public could be
easily hoodwinked"
