PLAIN AS A PIKEsTAFF.

''Why are Southern Republicans, who
have endured every wrong and humilia-
ton from Ku-Klux and other forms OF
enmity since the war sacrificed for the
purpose of building up Southern white
Republican party?" asks a Northern
exchange. The Chicago Chronicle an
swers:
"The answer is as plain as the light OF
MONDAY The Republicans expect to lose
the great commanding States at the North.
They are trying to make up for their
anticipated heavy Northern losses by
heavy Southern gains. The work to ac-
complish this object is in progress. 1t
is as plain as a pikestaff."
Wade Hampton saw the ass's ears stick
ing out under the lions skin, he saw
the poison in the proffered dish, he saw
the pin in the chair upon which he was
invited to sit He sets the example for
honorable Southern men and they will
follow his lead.

THE ONLY SAFE WAY.

Mr. Thomas Hitchcock, whose Matthew
Marshall letters in the New York Sun
in Dana's time, were regarded as the
highest authority on finance, gives good
advice to people who are inclined to
speculate in Wall Street:
Don't play game you do not under
stand. I've been around Wall Street fifty
years and do not understand it,
doubt if any man does. Jay Gould may
have done so. If you play there you play
blindly.
1T was a big game, that recently
played there for the control of rail-
way system, and all the little fellows
were caught between the millstones. Ar
accidental corner was caused-an Incl
dent of the big play-and everybody
knows what happened. The only safe
way to buy stocks is to buy them out
right and pay for them

WHAT rs TRUTH

At the Buffalo Exposition, in the art
department, Howard Pyle exhibits series
of six pictures illustrating the pilgrimage
of Truth through the world. The first
shows Truth as a tall, graceful woman
about to leave her home, her sisters and
friends gathered about her to say good
bye and wish her bon voyage. In the
second picture, Truth is represented as
going before the King and her rejection by
him. In two of the other pictures she is
rejected by the high priest and the wise
man. and the last shows Truth as re-
ceived by none but the jester.
1t would seem from this that We are
not much wiser in this day than Plate
when he asked: What is TRUTH"

less cotton is in the hands of the mills
than year ago. The totals for the mill
towns among the $50 which reported was
163. 243 in the hands of the mills as against
261, 9S9 bales at this time last year. The
Commercial adds:
This is a decrease of SO per cent, so
that, Notwithstanding the increase in the

increase in the quantity of cotton in the
hundreds of widely scattered localities is
a fraction less than Is per cent over the

AMONG THE EXCHANGES.

On hearing of the Columbia States
advice to the cotton manufacturers of
South Carolina to club in and work to-
gether for the development of a market
for their goods in South America, put
ting on line of freight steamers from
Charleston to meet the need of direct
communication, Mr.. William E. Curtis
of the Chicago Record Herald expresses
surprise that the advice had not been
taken. And as Mr. Curtis passed years
in South American travels with a spe-
cial view to the increase of commercial
intercourse between the two continents,
and as he was the secretary of the Pan
American conference a dozen years ago
and, we believe, the director for long
time Of the Bureau of American Repub-
lies, his opinion on this subject has I'M
questionable value, says the State.
Referring to the good effect of a reyi-
val upon colored people, the Washington
Progress says: LAS a result of the recent
meeting at the colored Methodist church
about one hundred and sixty colored peo-
pie were baptised here last Sunday dur
ing the day A wonderful change has
come over these people. There is less
drinking and in every way they are bet
ter citizens than we have ever known
them to be before.
The Chronicle says that ]. A. Sebastian
of Wilkes, who was critically i'll with
pneumonia, is better. The man thought
he was going to die and was baptised in
box made for that purpose, but the
baptism didn't hurt him and may have
helped him.

WOODS WINS OUT.
He Can Hold HIS Claim Adjoining
LawIOn.

Washington, Aug. SO.-In the con-
test case OF ]. L. C,lvert against
James r. Woods, coming FROM the
Lawton, D. T., land district, and in.
volving entry No. 1, Acting Secretary
Ryan to-day rendered a decision re.
iasing to order a hearing on the
charges preferred. The charges sub.
stantially are that Woods entry wAs
made in violation of the homestead
Law by reason of It's location on the
south line OF the town of Lswton. and
that the entry embraces a tract a mile
long and only a quarter OF a mile vide,
and was so taken for speculative pur-
poses and not for agricultural purposes,
and that the entry was made at a time
when there we're a large number Of
townsite settlers on the land aud by
them occupied for trade and business
The decision holds that the selection
and entry of land adjacent to the town
OF Lawton was not in violation of the
letter or spirit of the law, aud that tn,
fact that there may have been alleged
townsite settlers on the land at the
time he made his entry does not affect
Woods right of entry. The land was
not subject to appropriation for town
site purposes, o was any person
authorized to enter upon it or occup,
it for purposes of the trade or business.
and no such occupancy could operate
to defeat his right to entry.
1t is further held IN the opinion thai
his entry is not bad on account OF the
form of the tract embraced therein /;
that the special provisisns of the &C,
of May 2, 1890, do not control in this
matter, but the general provisions OF
the homestead law do, and that, under
the act Of June 6. 1900, making pro
vision for the disposition OF these
lands, 1t provides that they shall b,
disposed of under the general provis-
ions Of the homestead and towns,e
laws Of the United States.
