A CATER HARRISON ROOM.

1t is asserted in some OF the public
prints that a couple OF politicians who
are understood to be In charge of the po-
litical fortunes of the Honorable Carter
Harrison Mayor of Chicago, have ar
ranged to give a great picnic in June. at
which they will start boom for Mr.. Har-
rison al a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for President. Having given
the Chicago people chance to view it
they WILL 1t is asserted, start on a tour
of the South with it. There is no doubt
it will attract attention in the South.
There is scarcely any part OF the South
in which something is not known of the
young Mayor of Chicago. If he has not
been heard of his chief henchman, Bath
house John, has.
OF course it is rather early for presi-
Dental booms, but no doubt Mr.. Harrl-
son thinks it better to be early in the
field. But why he should exhibit his boom
in the South before taking it to the
mountain states of the breezy West OF
to the crowded states of the dollar-chas-
ing East is a question that it is difficult
to understand.
or course he will be given a cordial
welcome in the South, but it is doubtful
if he will receive sufficient encourage
ment to make him glad. There seems to
be feeling among the Southern people
that it is about time that the South fur
nished the Democratic party with presi-
Dental candidate. Anyway the South
will not likely be in haste to pledge her
support to Mr.. Harrison or any other can
didate. As the party cannot get along with
out her she can be big factor in naming
the next ticket and making the next plat
form, provided her leaders get together
and decide upon a course OF action. 1t is
about time the South was making her in
fuence felt in the party. There is no
good reason why she should continue to
follow other sections to defeat, election
after election. She should organize for
leadership and victory.

There seems TO be some doubt as to
whether Charleston's request, for the old
Liberty Bell. in Philadelphia, will meet
with a favorable response. Charleston
wishes the bell for her Exposition, and
there does not seem TO be any good rea-
son why she should not have 1t. The bell
was loaned for the expositions at New
Orleans, Chicago and Atlanta. and thus
the precedent of sending II out OF Phila-
celphia was established. As a relic OF in
dependence, the old bell is something OF
a national heirloom. especially among the
original thirteen" of which South Caro-
lima was one. Charleston, therefore, has
a better claim upon It than Chicago had.
That the bell was badly handled in the
latter city is not good reason why Il
should not be sent to the Carolina me-
tropolis AS the custodian of the bell,
Philadelphia ought to send II South with.

There was some commotion in Buenos
Ayres recently. The report had reached
the city that certain Argentine citizens
had seen a large number of heavy guns
being unloaded from Chilean
ship near Punta Arenas. The con-
clusion was Immediately reached
that Chile was taking steps to
fortify the Straits of Magellan, and the
Argentine authorities saw distinct men,
ace to their government in the act. 1t
transpires. however. that what was sup
posed to be guns was merely consign-
ment of large water pipe, for the water
works at Punta Arenas. The Argentine

ports that owing to explanations made
by Secretary Root to the commission we
advise the acceptance OF the Plat amend
ment as a basis for future treaties with
the United States This action puts Sec
rotary Root into a new class. He is the
great 'explainer' of the administration. In
future when anything appears at all dark
or doubtful to our subjects in the colonies
send for Root. II there is "A famine riot
In Porto Rico Root can explain 10 the
natives how absurd they are aud all will

alone"
The Norfolk Landmark Dem) says:
According TO the New York Independent.
the people of the South are tired of the
Bryan brand of Democracy. True enough:
but we take exception to the Independ-
ents opinion that the McLaurin brand is
the kind needed to 'vitalize the party in
the South. Mr. McLaurin is just an ex-
treme on one side as Mr.. Bryan is on the
other. What the party in the South
needs. and what we think II Is going to
take, Is a new grip on the Wade Hampton
brand of Democracy
The New York Times (Dem) says: "Mr.
Conger believes in the open door in Chi

policy of freedom OF intercourse with all
