AS SEEN FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE RIVERA McLaurinite Is telling
a story in South Carolina, illustrative,
he says, Of the status there. He pro-
claims it an old story-one Of Lon
Livingston's-but many Of us have
never heard it before.
1.-TWO farmers-Jones and Smith
owned adjoining plantations and were
very warm friends. But the Jones
woman fell out with the Smith woman
and soon Jones and Smith were enc
mics.
"One day Jones went hunting. He
lost his way in the swamps. Night
caught him there. Realizing that, he
began to hello for help.
Smith, way up on high land. heard
the cry of distress. He got him a long
pole, and on the end Of 1t tied a blaz-
ing torch of lightwood.
"Then Smith cried out Halo! you
who have lost your way! you come
straight to this light. You will be safe
"'All right cried the lost man.
Then a moment afterward he stop
ped. Hold on a minute he cried, who
are you that holds the light?'
"'Smith.'
"Then go to HI! I'll stay where
I am
THAT" says the McLaurinite, us
the way with many in Carolina. You
may show the true light-the real path
to the light-but it depends upon who
holds 1t more than upon the truth and
right and justice it illustrates. ALI

FOR THE G6oD OF THE STATE.

Why Governor McSweeney Returned
the Senatorial designations.
Because of delay at the telegraph Of
flee last Friday evening, the dispatch
to THE ENQUIRER announcing the ac-
ton of Governor McSweeney in return
ing the resignations of Senators Till
man and McLaurin, was not received
until after a considerable portion of the
edition had been printed. For the sake
of the record, however, it is we'll to re-
produce Governor McSweeney's letter
to Senators Tillman and McLaurin in
full. 1t was as follows:
Gentlemen: Your letter rendering
your designations as United States SEN
ators from South Carolina was received
on the eve of my departure to Ch1cka-
mauga to take part in the ceremonies
incident to the unveiling of the monu-
ment which South Carolina has just
erected to her brave and heroic soldiers
who lost their lives in defence Of a
principle on this historic battlefield.
Hence my delay in acknowledging it.
I respectfully return your resigna-
tions that you may have more time for
serious consideration of the effects up
on the people Of this state Of this ac-
ton upon your part. The commission
which you hold is the highest compl1-
ment and testimonial which the people
of this state can pay to one of it's citi-
zens It is possible that you have TAX
en- this step hastily in the heat of de-
bate and without due reflection Of the
consequences to the people who have SO
signally honored you.
It was only last year that our people
had the excitement and turmoil incl
dent to a campaign, and in another
year we will be in the midst Of further
political strife. The people are entitled
to one year Of peace and freedom and
from political battles and bitterness.
The indications are that campaign
such as would be precipitated by va
cancies In these two exalted positions
would be a very acrimonious one and
personal rather than discussion OF 1s-
sues. and from such canvass our peo-
pie should be spared. In fact 1t would
be a calamity to the state to he torn
asunder by a heated canvass In this
"off year" in politics. There can be no
possible good to come Of it.
The people Of the state are getting
together and working for the advance
ment and upbuilding of the material
prosperity Of the commonwealth. and
T should regret anything that would re-
tard this progress.
It is not my purpose in this writing
to prevent the fullest and freest dis
cussion of all public questions and the
education of the people along all po-
litical lines. On the contrary, hearth
ly favor that and believe 1t can best be
accomDlished without the bitterness
and the personalities which would be
inseperable from a campaign during
the coming summer. Under our party
rules campaign will be necessary
within a little more than year. and
ample time can be had for full dis
cussion of the issues now before the
people.
Holding these views and looking to
the interests of the people Of this state
their peace. prosperity and happiness
I respectfully decline to accept your
designations and beg to return them
herewith.
have the honor to be, etc.

Tillnan's Reply.

Upon receipt of the governors letter,
Senator Tillman replied to 1t as fol-
lows, sending the original by mail and
at the same time giving out, at Tren-
ton, copies to the press:
TRENTON, s. c., June 1, 1901.
His Excellency. Miles B. McSWeeney'
Columbia, S. c.:
Sir: I have your letter of May 3lst,
addressed to Senator McLaurin and
myself Jointly, in which you say Il re-
spectfully return your designations that
YOU may have more time for serious
consideration of the effects upon the
people of the state of this action on
your part"-and further on-"I respect
fully decline to accept your resigna-
tions and beg to return them mere
with"
Your eXcellency, of course, has the
right to return my resignation and ao-
wise more serious consideration. In de-
clining to accept, I am sure you nave
transcribed your authority. 1t VIII
take very little investigation ana re-
Election to convince you of this. You
cannot compel a member of the United
States senate to hold his commission
and exercise the functions of that Of
flee. if he chooses to surrender 1t. MY
action in rendering my resignation,
while hasty, was not i'll advised, and !
am firmly convinced of the wisdom or
my course upon reflection.
Personally, had nothing to gain ana
everything to lose, and I did not feel
the need of further instructions or VIM
dication, because I had just been re-
elected by the people with practical
unanimity. / offered to resign In order
to bring about the resignation of my
colleague and thus put us on a level,
with equal rights to go before the peo-
pie and ask an endorsement of our re-
Spective courses. While / would not
appear to pass structures upon the rea-
soning set forth in your eXcellency' s
letter. it seems strange that the COVER
nor of South Carolina. just returned
from unveiling q monument erected by
the state in memory of the "heroic SOL
diers who lost their lives in defense Of
principle" should be oblivious to the
principle involved in the contest precip-
itated by our designations. 1t is also
somewhat remarkable that you should
ask the senators who have resigned to
take time to consider, when you your
self are reported to be ready to appoint
two senators in two minutes and a
half after receiving an immediate res
ignatiOn.
Your conception Of the office of sena-
tor and it's powers can be best under
stood by the ease with which you think
you could fill it. 1t was not my fault
that an immediate resignation was not
sent you. You declare that the "peo-
pie are entitled to one year Of peace and
freedom from political battles and bit

represented by the great steel trust;
and the genius of America Is concen-
trated upon commercial energy as the
German spirit, which will continue to
excel in many other and some higher
things, never can be. German industry
in its turn will be reduced to the de-
fensive, perhaps within the next dec
ade. The idea of a United States Of
Europe, which is much in evidence,
will assuredly not be formed in the in
terests Of Germany. Russia will not
join it against America, and the at
tempt would probably end in nothing so
certainly as final determination Of
America to keep China open at any
ost."-Translations made for The Lit

A REVOLUTION IN TRAVEL

A revolution in railroad travel is
foreshadowed by the bill which has just
passed the house Of lords authorizing
the construction of a novel electric
railroad between Manchester and
Liverpool. AS described in a special
cable to the Sunday World, It is to be
single-rail road. The train will run
on track shaped like an inverted V,
with the single rail as its apex. It will
consist Of but one long car, which will
straddle the track, so to speak, one
half Of 1t hanging on each side, just as
pack-saddle hangs on the back of
mule. Every car will carry its own
motor.
The cars will cover the whole distance
Of 80 miles in 20 minutes-a speed of
ITO miles an hour. AS the line will be
overhead and derailment impossible,
this record breaking rate Of speed
will be quite safe. The projectors of
the road admit, however, that they
have not yet found brake Of sufficient
power. American inventive genius will
solve this difficulty for them If British
inventors cannot.
One hundred miles an hour on a sad
dleback railroad was demonstrated to
be possible by an American inventor,
Captain Joe v. Meigs, away back in the
eighties. He built short experiment
tai track near Boston and ran trains
by steam power that made that speed.
Seventy-five years ago, when George
Stephenson applied to parliament for q
charter for a steam railroad between
Liverpool and Manchester, the promo
ters begged him not to talk of going
faster than ten miles an hour lest he
should alarm the country too much.
George was daring, however, and did
speak Of fifteen miles an hour. The
parliamentary committee doubted his
sanity and the London press denounced
his project as "crazy." Down to 1870 a
speed Of rs miles an hour on English
railways was the average. And now
the best express speed Of the century
Is to be almost doubled as q regular
thing. But England ought not to be
the first to do 1t, seeing that the prac-
ticability Of 1t was first proved in
America.-New York World.

"Mis'us Man," he said, 'you ort to

Sim that away now amt got as much

"Let him look to Loueesy Banks for

she does speak 'em. He'll wait for

Pap Sampson had been idgeting In
and out Of the room ever since he
came. He'd 60 out and look of down
the street, then come IN and sit down.
In a few minutes he'd 60 through the
same motions again. This he kept up
till finally Sam Morgan said:
"What's the matter Of you. Pap,
that you've got so restless all at onceT'
"Nothin, Sam. nothin at ALL" Pap re-
piled.
But Sam Morgan knew better.

ONWARD, EVER ONwARD.-The Tele-
gram cannot go all the gaits- travelled
by McLaurin; but 1t can do him the
Justice to commend a great deal that
he says. No one with an open mind can
fail to see that be strikes home some
important truths which ought to be TAX
en- to heart by the Democratic masses,
If not the Democratic leaders.
The South fought during the sixties
for the principles Of the constitution as
framed and afterward interpreted by
the fathers. But the South lost. The
whole scheme Of the trainers was
| changed by the result changed beyond
recall. We must all be convinced now
Of that fact. 1t is childish, not to say
waste Of valuable time, to grieve
over the split milk and refuse to get
hold Of the teat again. A political par
ty cannot live on sentiment, be it ever
so dear.
McLaurin may be lost in the coming
storm; but he Is yet warning petrol
perched upon the rigging Of the old
Democratic ship. Not to steer the ship
upon the smoother and better highway
is to defy the storm and invite further
| disaster.
The Democratic party cannot live
and stand on the platforms of 1896 and
1900. 1t cannot get rid Of those plat
forms without shaking the few men
who made them. They are back num-
bers and as dry and sterile as last
years bird nests.
There Is no room for a new party In
| this country-no third party ever
amounted to anything-but there Is
room for new life new vigor, better
things in the two old ones. If McLau-
rim succeeds in building fire on the
backs of some Of our snail-moving tor
toise statesmen he will accomplish
something.-Macon (Ga). Telegraph.

Done Toward Reciprocal
Trade Relations.
PRESIDENT READY TO NAME COMMISSION
Political Questions with Island Must
First be Settled, However. before
Taking Up Economic Ones - he
lieved Cuban Delegates Favor
Adoption OF Plat Amendment.

Washington, April 29.-The MEM
bers of the Cuban commission called
upon the president Saturday to bid
him farewell. Senior Capote urged
that some thing be done at once to-
ward reciprocal trade relations for the
benefit of the Cubans. The president
replied that nothing could be done
on economic lines until the political
questions We're settled; that it would
be necessary for the Cubans to form
a government before any negotiations
could be entered into. He assured
the delegation that as soon as the
Cuban government was formed he
would appoint commission to con-
slider economic relations.
Attitude of Cubans.
There is a general impression
among those who have been in close
touch with the Cuban delegates that
they will recommend the acceptance
of the Platt amendment by the con-
stitutional convention when they re-
turn to Havana. Secretary Root
made it plain to them that the amend
ment is the United States policy.
The business of the commission is
now practically finished, and the
members expect to leave Washington
in day or two. They have re-
ceived an invitation from the Grant
Memorial association of New York to
be present at dinner at the Waldorf
Astoria, which they probably cannot
accept Another invitation comes
from number of New Workers inter-
ested in business in Cuba, for din
ner at such time as they may desig-
nate. They will accept this invita-
