THE STREET FAIR.

TIE HERALD has had nothing TO
do with bringing the Street Fair to
Columbia, and uatil we know more
about it would not be willing to stand
sponsor for them. But Nc. Berger,
the promoter, MAKES this PROPOSE
ton which we think far one:
Don't give me bad name until |
deserve it. My aggregation is strictly
frat class. There is not an obiec
tionable feature to it. The men and
women know how to behave them
selves. Wherever | have been
have been invited to come again.
expect to be invited to come back to
Columbia, and expect to coma. II
my show is not all [ claim for it
then condemn me, and stop me; as
the authorities nave a right to do
and ought to do
We say we think that is a fair
proposition. And that is the propo-
sition under which he comes Many
of the side shows at the World s
Fair and the Tennessee Centennial
were entertaining, instructive and
unobjectionable Only few of them
were Extensively immoral. If they
belong to the better class, WHY not
enjoy them? If they belong to the
other class, stop them.
We presume that policy is agreea.
BILE to all. Whether it is or no, it is
the policy THE HERALD will follow
For business or no business, THE
HERALD is first, last and all the
time for, good morals.
The Fair, if not bad thing, is 6
good thing. 1t will certainly bring
trade to columbia. The four hun
dred attaches themselves will spend
as many hundred dollars day, ano
it takes money to feed elephants
lions, tigers, etc. This, to say moth
ing of the trade from the crowds
and it will bring crowds. A show
like this, with various and sundry
attractions, always draws the crowd

MAYOR HEAD of Nashville, gives
as his best reason for the municipal
ownership and control of public
franchises, this; "that it is the ONLY
way to circumvent and defeat the
trust combines" Both the argu-
ment and conclusion are sound.
And the principal may be carried
further. For the same reason the
Federal or State governments must
own and control the railroads. Thew
are the great trust promoters of the
country, in that they give special
rebates and privileges to large
shippers over the small, and favor
one locality over another. With
equal and discriminating freight
rates the small dealer would have
some sort of show againt his
soulless competitor.

THE street car company of Albany
n. Y, and the employees of said
company, have had disagreement
and a strike is on. But the general
manager of the company, one Mr.
Mcnamara, is equal to the occasion
He says: 1--WE intend to run our
cars if it takes the entire National
Guard of New York State to protect
US" OF course! Is that not " hat
the soldiers are for, to protect the
corporations against the passions
and prejudices of the people? Is this
not a government of the corpora
tions, for the corporations, by the
corporations?

more necessary. To make any com.
munity inaccessible, retards its
growth and Injuries it for all time to
come.
Second. If these changes in the
streets, or any OF them are made, the
railroad company should pay all the
cost and assume all the liability.
They would then get their addi-
tional yard room and it's attending
conveniences very cheap, and the
city would even then pay dearly for
it's new passenger station.

Mr. ROBERT &. OGDEN, the part
ner of John Wanamaker, and also
his advertising ayager, in a recent
address said that in the competitive
race of today you must first have
something that the people want. and
second, let the people know that you
have it. The first undertaking is
what is known as successful mer.
chandisiug, the second is successful
advertising. The art of special ad.
vertising, he said, was to call par.
ticular attention to "A particular thing
or class of goods that you mean tC
sell that day. Teach the people tc
believe that your statements are
accurate and temperate.

WELL DONE.

AS a deliberative, conservative
well balanced body of business men,
the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
made character for themselves Mon.
day night. They had before them
several matters of vital importance,
and they handled them all with in
telligence, conservatism and pru-
dence.
They passed the eight O'Clock law
on its first reading. This was made
necessary by Chancellor Aberna
thy's recent decision. The effort to
compromise upon a nine o'clock law,
was properly defeated. This is no
compromise question. 1t is pro-
gressive one. And the purpose is
not to please or satisfy the whiskey
seller, but to please and satisfy
those who are opposed to the traffic.
We would not agree to stop at the
eight o'clock law, even if the liquor
dealers were to propose it. The
purpose of such law is twOfold !;
first, to regulate the traffic; second,
to educate the public mind. The
ultimate aim and object is to
strangle the traffic to death and
drive the saloon out of existence.
Hence no compromise is possible.
Besides, what earnest had the
Board that the whiskey dealers
would be true to their compromise
agreement? Would their promise
to the Board be any more
binding upon them than the oaths
they take when they buy their
license to sell? Have they not sworn
to have no gambling attachments?
And have they, all of them at all
times, kept that oath? Do they sell
to minors, and is that according to
their. promise under the law? Do
they refuse to sell 10 drunken men
and habitual drunkards, as they are
bound to do under the law? Before
they should be allowed to dictate
new laws, they shoald learn to obey
the laws already on the books. Let
them first wash their garments and
come into court with clean hands.
The l. & y. proposition to build a
new passenger station, of pressed
brick and stone trimmings. with
tsrraced uDderpasses, ETC.. was post.
poned. That proposition ought to
be acted upon. The Board, to a
man, is opposed to it. Why not say
so? Until il is formally rejected the
railroad company has an excuse fol
doing nothing towards giving better
accommodations to the travelling
public here. Take that excuse away
from them by rejecting their PROPOSE
ton. Then they may proceed &c
build on their own ground and lei
our public streets alone. That
would be the most satisfactory thinI
they could do, 50 far as Columbia !,
concerned.

SELF-REsPECTING MANHOOD.

Mr.. Carmack seems to have struck
a responsive chord in his speech at
the Memphis banquet upon the Oc-
casion of the Presidents visit. The
Presidents southern tour has been
characterized by a great deal of
gush, both from the Presidents party
and from southern lick-spittles who
seize upon every occasion to pros
trate themselves at the feet of Will.
liam Mckinley. Some of the speak
ers at this Memphis banquet in
dulged in this sickening adulatiOn
of Mckinley, holding him up to
public admiration as the man who
had brought about a reconciliation
between the North and the South.
Indeed, to hear some of these people
talk you would imagine that Mr. Nc
Kinley had always been the truest,
most devoted and most consistent
friend the South has ever had. In
the midst of this disgusting adula-
ton Mr.. Carmack' 8 frank but courte-
Gus and dignified protest was like a
breath OF fresh air from the hills.
The purport of his remarks was that
nothing was needed to reconcile the
South to the Union, and that there
had never been an hour for the last
thirty years when she was not ready
to defend it's safety and its honor.
Then, he added sit is no fault of
ours if it needed another war to
prove that we were loyal to our
country" This short sentence con-
tanned quiet, courteous rebuke,
whose significance could not have
been missed. ut is no fault OF
ours"-whose fault was it? The
answer is plain-it was the fault OF
those who for the basest partisan
purpose have been denouncing and
villifying the South for the last
thirty five years and doing their
best to keep alive the flames Of
sectional animosity. It was the
faul5 of those, who in order tC
strengthen their own hold upon the
government have sought to rule the
South with force bills and bayonets
and put it under negro domination
1t was. in other words, the fault OF
VIM. Mckinley and other leaders o.
the Republican party. The proprie
ties of the occasion did not permits
Mr.. Carmack to say all of this, bu
it Is all comprised in that single
pregnant sentence: at is no fault
of ours that it needed another wal
to prove that we are loyal to oul
country" We are not at all sur
prised that these sentiments are be
ing applauded by newspapers in the
North as we'll as in the South. Th'
Washington Post declares that Mr.
Carlnack spoke for the self-respect
ing manhood of the Southern people
and we have no doubt that Mr.. Nc
Kinley himself has more respect TO
a self-respecting man than for al
the t1atterers that have crawled a
his feet

WE do not see any cause for alarm
over the Arsenal question. The
government has not intimated any
intention of abandoning the grounds,
and that impression ought not to go
out. Still we commend the activity
being displayed by our public ser.
wants and others in looking after the
matter. Senator Carmack tele-
graphed and then wrote to Secretary
Root, asking for hearing before any
final order was made. Congress-
man Padgett not only wrote immedi-
ately to the Secretary, but also to
other members of Congress from this
State, and this week formulated
a letter to be addressed to each and
every member of the Congress, in
GLIDING both the Senate and the
House. This letter is rs condensed
as the subject matter will permit,
and is an able and forceful presenta-
ton OF the reasons for continuing
the Arsenal as it is, with a manu-
featuring plant added. With such
activity upon the part of our Repre-
sentative, and the assured support
of the entire Tennessee delegation,
there is no cause for alarm. On the
contrary we may fairly assume that
the Columbia Arsenal-whether by
this or some other name-will still
lie doing business at the present
stand, an ornament and pride to Co
lumbia and to those who come after

WALL sTREET STOCK PANIC

WALL STREET STOCK PANIC.
Wall Street Is the Monte Carlo
gambling hell of America. 1t wrecks
more fortunes, blights more lives,
causes more suicides, damns more
souls, than Saratoga and all the
summer gambling resorts combined,
The stock gambler is legalzed ;
the faro dealer, the poker player,
the crap shooter these are out
lawed; thai is ore difference.
Another is, the Wall Street stock
gambler, is a representative of the
money class, while the crap shooter
belongs to another class of moral
imbeciles. That is the reason why
the one is legalized and the other
outlawed.
In gambling in this country, the
greater the offense the more re-
spected the offender. Something
like stealing; the bigger the theft,
TIE smaller the chance of conviction.
The panic on Wall street last
week, was just panic among
/ gamblers. Some had sold stocks
and bonds they didn't have, ana
when called upon for the stuff
couldn't produce it; hence they had
to sell something they did have to

in its appoinmf nts, is the embodiment
of elegant, simple, and exquisite taste
The reception room, whose furniture is
entirely in gold, needed no floral decora
tions to complete It's loveliness, but the
artistic eye of the hostess found that
the effect could be heightened by plac-

fume blended itself with that of the
crimson carnations in the library oppo-
site, whose deep coloring gave rich
glow TO the whole apartment
1t was here that Mrs. S. Strudwick
gracefully served chocolate from a
prettily decorated table. No artih-
ciai light, but the bright, beautifu
sunshine pervaded the whole house
and handsome palms and delicate vines
seemed to glory in it, ana bestowed Their
