A NEW PoLIcY FOR THE souTH.

There is reason for thinking that the
/ appointment of John G. Capers as United
States district attorney for South Caro-
lima marks the beginning of new policy
/ by the Republican party in its efforts to
! get a foothold in the South. Mr.. Capers
is a member of one of the oldest and
most distinguished families of that state.
He has never affiliated with the Republi-
can party and is not recognized as Re
publican. He dip not however. support
the Democratic ticket in the last presi-
Dental election, and it is probable that
he was in sympathy with the Republican
party on the money question and also
the Philippine question. Without know
ing exactly what his political views are,
it would not be far out of the way prob
ably to say that he is in pretty close
touch with Senator McLaurin on all po-
litical matters.
Senator McLaurin is thought to be aim
ing to keep in touch with the business
and industrial interests of his state. The
effort to get resolution through the
Legislature condemning him for voting
with the administration Senators on
Philippine questions failed, because, it is
unders TODD, the manufacturing interests of
South Carolina approved his course. The
manufacturing interests of that state, al
ready great. are steadily growing in i'm
portance and influence.
The element in South Carolina repre-
scented by Senator McLaurin and Mr.. Ca
pers is largely composed of young men,
and the impression outside of the state is
that its strength is very considerable
Do President Mckinley and other Lead
ers of the Republican party seek to draw
this element into that party-make it the
nucleus of a white Republican party ;n
South Carolina? 1t certainly looks that
way And will the same tactics be en-
ployed in other Southern states?
The failure of Congress to make any
inquiry into the Acknowledgement of Hit
crate negroes in North Carolina and some
of the other Southern states would seem
to indicate that the Republican leaders
have about abandoned all hope of build
ing up a Republican party in the South
by depending upon the negroes. They
may think they see chance to build up a
white Republican party and have decided
to begin the experiment in South Caro-
lima.
II this is their purpose the experiment
will be watched with deep interest. The
extent to which 1t will be successful will
depend. in all probability, upon the po-
sition taken by the two great parties upon
the questions before the country in the
next national election. There will be no
white Republican party in the South,
however. as long as federal offices
are given to the negroes when that party
is in power

Yard, where it was to be placed on the
Kearsarge in the room of a similar rife

The Chicago courts. it seems, have juris-
diction over not only the spirits that are
kept In glass and under cork. but over
those spirits Of the departed that give
manifestations through mediums for the
edification and conformation of the super
stitious. Prof" Payne, who does some
business with spirits. had noticed for some
days that his special flock. or raft, or
covey-or whatever is the collective noun
that they fly in-of spirits had not been
performing according to the card.
Upon investigation he learned that
another medium, a Mime" Phil
fps. was monkeying with them.
Forthwith the Professor" posted
on to the courts and prayed an injunc-
tion 70 restrain the Madame" from in
terfering with his own. private ghosts.
And the court gave him the restraining
order.

Capt. Lara, chief of the native police
of Manila, was killed while in the dis
charge of his duty. The government, in
grateful recognition of his services, has
granted his widow the exclusive cock
fighting franchise for the city of Manila,
as reported in our dispatches a day or
two ago. The franchise, it is said, IS
worth $4,000 or more a year. since cock
fighting is the national sport. Thus We
have new pension system instituted un-
der the auspices of the United States,
and one that is capable of considerable
extension and elasticity. Under it, indeed.
Aguinaldo might be transformed from a
white elephant into happy citizen. He
might be given the franchise for poker
rooms or dope joints. either Of which
could be made good thing by careful
nursing.

A DIVORCE FOR THE COUNTESS

Judge Bahrs, 10 San Francisco, has

He cites the evidence of one witness,
Mre. Ross Thompson, who was on

"The bin in which the countess
lived was little tiny place, quite unfit

DECAPITATED AT PEKIN.

A disps ten from Pekin says: Su-Hai,
the murderer of Baron VOC Ketteer,
the German minister, was beheaded
Yesterday 10 Hataman street, the prin-
cipal thoroughfare of tie capital. The
execution, which was under German
supervision, took place at the busiest
hour of the day. A great crowd was
present. German troops kept order.
The murderer was made to kneel on
his hands and knees in the middle OF
the street and he was kept In this po-
sition for half an hour awaiting the ar
rival OF German officers, who wanted 10
see the execution. 10 the meantime
the executionnr, sword in hand, and
his assistant stood beside the condemn
ed man. They each wore bloody
clothes. The pair had just officiated at
eight other killings and did not have
time 10 wash.
The man who was so shortly to die
was cheerful during the period of wait
ing. He laughed heartily several times
he said that his name was an honored
one and that be was an honest man.
Upon the arrival of the German oi
ficers the assistant executioner made 9
double wrep of twine around the man'
neck, crossing the string under hi'
chin. He then pulled on the twin'
and the mans queue, stretching hi'
neck to the utmost. Meantime th'
executioner put knee between tb'
mans shoulderblades and his hands OF
| his head, Then he jumped hard, shov
irg the culprit's face into the dust, sfte
which he stepped back, took his sworc
aud chopped his head of. Two blow
were required to sever his head, which
was subs, quently placed in cage ant
hung over the street.
The murderer was soldier. At tn
outbreak of the Boxer troubles he wsl
stationed in Hataman street will
orders to shoot any foreigner who triet
to pass. The killing OF Baron vol
Ketteer was done 10 obedience to thes
orders. It is admitted by foreigners
including DR.. Mumm Won Scbwsrtzsn
stein, the present German Minister, tha
the man would not have been execut
ed in European country.
