DISCRIMINATING AGAINST
JAPANESE.

The community here was Justly
indignant when, in July Last, Dr.. l..
T. Cofer, the u S. quarantine officer,
submitted the wife of the Japanese
Consul to Honolulu, s Okabe, aud
two japanese unmarried ladies to
great indignities under the pretsxt
of examining them on account of
the bubonic plague which at the
time was prevalent in the Orient
from where the ladies came. The
Japanese ladies were cabin passen-
gers and the discrimination shown
against them was very impolitic
move of the federal officer. None
of the white cabin passengers we're
examined and yet they all arrived
from the Orient. The matter crea'-
ed a stir here as we'll rs on the
Mainland and official remonstra-
tions have been msds 10 Washing
ton by the Japanese Government.
That the local associ alton OF medi-
cine m IN uphold Dr.. Cofer is only
natural as withdrawing is the prin-
cipal object of the association, and
yet every member would have
stormed and raved il bis wife or
daughters had been subjected to
such an examination as we're Mrs.
Oka5s, Miss Imai and Miss Nobechi.

held last Tuesday evening. A large and
attentive audience was present. The
exercises were very entertaining and
showed careful preparation and much
originality. Mrs. J. L. Oates and Mr..

of the evening, by the delightful music
they rendered upon the piano and vio-

At present, Miss Fleming is visiting

tinctly international character, and
that any move to make them mare
clausum" would not be tolerated by
maritime nations. In this view 1t Is
said to concern the United States and
other maritime nations quite as much
as Argentina, which, with Chile, con-
trolls the territory along the straits.
The Magellan route, commonly follow
ed by American naval vessels, saves
about 1000 miles in the passage around
South America, and this is not only a
large item in time Of peace; but is SAID
to be a matter of vital Importance In
time Of war. AS merchant vessels also
use this route almost exclusively, there
is a great saving for them on each trip
between the Atlantic and Pacific sides.
Naval officials compare the situation to
that in the North Sea and contiguous
waters, where there are wide stretches
of open water open to the ships OF the
world, which no one nation has ever
undertaken to fortify or to treat as a
closed sea. The Magellan route is very
wide in most places, so that the own
ership of the shore could not be con-
strued as giving authority beyond three
miles at the most, and this is far short
of the width Of the waterway.

Courier and it's agreeable contempora-
ries, need not take the facts they cite
as proving that the ship subsidy princi-
pie was wrong. 1t was right then and
it is right now. The Morgan purchase
only goes to show that the bill was not
necessary, a fact that could not have
been known until after the purchase
was made. To illustrate: We are all In
favor of the digging Of an isthmian ca
nal. We've been in favor of the gov
ernment doing the work for the reason
that we have believed it was too big
job for private enterprise. If we
thought private enterprise was equal to
the task we would rather have it done
that way. Not long ago, this same
Pierpont Morgan was reported as hav-
ing the matter in charge, and upon re-
fiection most of us became convinced
that he could do the job if he wanted
to. We would rather see him do it than
have the government do it; but If we
should advocate the enterprise as a
government undertaking without sue
cess, and Morgan should afterward step
in and do what the government had re-
fused to do, We would not feel that we
had made any serious mistake in so far
as our original moving principles were
concerned.

MRS. MCKINLEY.
Short Sketch of the Wife of the
President, Ill mt San Francisco.

President, III Mt San Francisco.
The Atlanta Journal, Of Thursday,
prints the following thumbnail sketch
Of Mrs. Mckinley. the wife Of the pres
ident, now seriously i'll in San Francis
co:
Mrs. Mckinley was Miss Ida SaXton.
She was born about SO years ago in
Canton, Ohio.
The Saxton family is we'll known in
Stark county, Ohio. She was married
to Major Mckinley soon after the civil
war.
Two children were the result Of the
union, but both died. After the birth Of
the second child Mrs. Mckinley be-
came an invalid, and has been afflicted
ever since, having occa sional bad spells.
She suffered much with epilepsy.
Since being in the White House she
has been unable to participate in all
the official serial functions she desired.
The president has been beautiful in
his tender devotion to her, and this one
characteristic in his nature Is praised
by all men alike Of whatever political
creed. Senator Hoar, on May II, deliv-
cred a speech, in which he called atten-
ton to the presidents gentleness. In
his classic style he said: 1.-The longer
live the more I am satisfied that this
spirit and temper, of which S. S.
Blanchard was the embodiment, Is an
important and desirable spirit and tenn
per in our political life. To win by gen.
tleness, and not by anger to win by re-
spect and not by reviling, these are
the instruments by which great politi-
cal accomplishments are brought to
pass.
"That is the secret Of the great sue
cess and of the great popularity Of
President Mckinley. No man, friend
or foe, differing from him or agreeing
with him, has ever been brought into
personal contact with him without not
only loving him but also respecting"

FAIR PLAY.
All Candidates Are Entitled to 1t At
the Hands of the People.

The editor of the Newberry Observer
makes a strong appeal for fair play for
everybody in politics.
Discussing the Spartanburg Journals g
defense of ASbury Latimer, the Bolton
candidate for the United States senate,
The Observer admits numerous good
qualities of that gentleman.
AS The Observer is one of the few
newspapers declaring for Senator Nc
Laurin and refusing to be read out or
the party by the Columbia State and
The News and Courier, it's compliments
to Latimer, we believe, will be all the
more appreciated by South Carolinians.
We do not believe in heapinG Goals of
fire. 1t is good old doctrine but Is i'm
practicable in newspaper work. Be
sides, Goals of fire would be blocks of
ice to The News and Courier's head, and
to the hot-headed Columbia State,
merely drops of liquid air.
Let us admit all Of Mr.. Latimer'S good
qualities. We do not find 1t hard to say
that he has more sense than he is given
credit for, that he has indomitable per-
severance, that he never rocked the
boat" etc., etc, but let us suggest that
he will show royal good trait by get
ting out and doing his own fighting or,
if he prefers to lay low like brer rabbit,
lel lIupOIluHS DcllJet-iHlii, lHC LII
mantle, to quit it and leave the Junior
senator to him, to be whipped by him in
the primaries, if he can whip him.
The Observer concludes:
And what we have said for Mr. Lat
inner and Mr.. McLaurin, we say for all
other candidates. Treat them fairly.
These are the two who are receiving
most attention. Later on there will
probably be others to enter the senate
rial race, which now promises to be the
star performance of the 1902 campaign.
D. S. Henderson, Of Aiken, has declared
that he will run, and the name of
George Johnstone, of Newberry, has
been mentioned in several quarters. All
these men are of marked ability; it is
no presumption in any of them to as
pire to this high office; and the best
way to elect the best man for the place
is to treat them all fairly"
So far McLaurin has not had one fair
deal from any of the enemy. Some
times the methods of fighting him are
of the meanest and smallest. This ef-
fort to drive him and his followers out
Of the Democratic party is one Of them.
But it won't go.
McLaurin will show his hand here
next week, May 22d, at 1880 by the
clock, and we expect to see nothing but
straight Democratic cards and hope
that the hand will win.-Greenville
News, Friday. -
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-05-18

THERE are all kinds of people who en-
tertain all kinds of ideas. There are
some who believe in fair play and some
who do not. There are some who be-
lieve that they are right and that ev-
erybody else is wrong. There are some
who are so certain that the other fel-
low is wrong as to be unwilling to al
low the other fellow an opportunity to
explain himself. Last summer, when
Senator McLaurin was broken in health
as the result of a carbunce that came
near destroying his life, and when
there was reason to believe that he
would never be a factor in politics
again, certain people who desired his
place for themselves or friends, went
round the state slandering and misrep-
resenting him to the people. The SEN
ator was pictured as turncoat and
traitor, fit for nothing but contempt,
and many people who were unable to
discern the underlying motive, were in
fiuenced by these representations. Now
that the senator desires to vindicate
himself, we note a disposition among
his enemies to throw every obstacle in
his way. Newspapers that used to fret
and fume at the old bowling down sys-
tenn, brought into vogue in the early
days of Tillmanism, are suggesting the
re-inauguration of those tactics, and
people who complained at the interfer-
ence of Hampton in the Aiken meeting,
because ut was none Of his business"
are now invoking Tillman and others to
attend McLaurin meetings for the pur-
pose of making excitement and pre-
venting a calm, dispassionate hearing Of
Senator McLaurin's cause. The senator
certainly has right to defend himself,
and we feel no hesitation in saying that
if his contention be unjust, his oppoI, :,
nents need have no fear of the result,
not so long as the primary system OBJ
tains as now.
