 being held a captive by brigands of that country for a ransom. Various modes of procedure have been suggested and the people have indulged in various academic discussions concerning the advisability of paying the ransom. Some allege that if the ransom be paid it would establish a bad precedent, endangering the lives of the other missionar- ies who are laboring in the same locality. Diplomatic aid has been sought and President Roos- evelt has given quite a little at tention to the matter. The Bul- garian governments also said tc have been active s'in, her behalf

dulterated ignorance is dished out to the voters of Arkansas with view of catching votes, it is high time for such honest @ men as MT. Jones to retire from politics.
 Debt that the people have re, pudiated". Did you ever hear oi such tripleplated, amalgamated, concentrated, gall.
 If this is the manner the friends of MT. Jones intend to dupe the citizens of Arkansas, we will have to put them in the same class with Judas.
 He sold his Savior for 20 pieces of silver and Christ knew he was being betrayed. but when these friends try to buy the people with the publication of ignorant rot, it is decidedly worse.
 We will say that the people of Arkansas never did repudiate those bonds and the books of the state do not show that they have ever been paved. Is trying to aid man or company to get it's just dues, slipping up on the blind side? If it is, then we venture the assertion, MT. Baugh has slipped up on the blind side of many a man.
 We repeat what we said in a former issue. Jones in his speech at Augusta said that trusts are the greatest evil con fronting the American people to- day. He owns a large stock in one of the most stupendous trusts in America and yet he says this trust is no trust. If the people believe that because MT. Jones has stock in a trust will place it on the footing of legitimate business affairs, they should pray God Almighty to give MT. Jones means to buy stock in them all. That will be the easiest way of converting the gigantic trust concerns. Wood ruff county is solid for James P. Clarke:

Columbia, s. C., August 6.-The State Democratic executive committee today se- cured Senator McLaurin's reply to their action of July 25 condemning his course in the Senate and demanding his resigna- tion. In the course of the letter Senator McLauri writes:
 q hold my commission from the Demo- cratic voters of South Carolina, recognize no authority but theirs, take no orders from any source but them, and shall, in due course, appeal to them for judgment on my course as a Senator and my char acter as a man and a Democrat.

GIRLS HAVE THEIR INNINGS.

From the London Chronicle.
 Some one said the other day that girls are to be fashionable this year. Tn the Lady this week "one of the girls" well comes the prospect with glee and con- firms the original statement that last season was a victory for the matrons. She charges them with having taken up the weapons of youth-weapons forged, however, by the Art and not by Mature In order to relegate their younger sis ters to the background; and alleges that the boy and girl" dances were only diplomatic concession on the part of the matrons, designed to give the ''boys a brief respite. The married woman has usurped the place of the unmarried girl, 1; seems. because she is allowed greater latitude In what she does and says, has more experience of mems weaknesses and ways can invite men to dinner and has a greater command of money, ''al- though the purse may be-no doubt is-- the husbands" In face of these discour- agements some girls lost patience, but their wiser sisters have never doubted the power of youth.

may not be Waterloo, for neither side
 will be annihilated as Napoleon was
 but unless quickly compromised the outcome will be very lasting In It's effects.
 A compromise is almost impossible, because it is not a battle over hours or wages. It is a battle for unionism or non-unionism. It is to be the one or the other, and the steel trust pre- fers to fight the battle now rather than later, trusting that some of it's acts will be forgotten by the voters in 1904. Its watered capitalization and its use of the Dingley tariff are not subjects that will stand much ventilation. But whether it likes it or not, the battle is "on," and 1t will be fought out. The period of compromise was passed when the controllers of the trust named un- acceptable terms and haughtily re- fused to modify them. They had de- cided to fight the issue out.
 In the strike of 1900 against the hard coal operators the men won, and the men won in the strike of 1897 against the soft coal operators; but before that time the men had lost three great strikes, namely, the strike against the Pullman Company in 1894; the strike against the Carnegie Company in 1892, and the strike against the Missouri tacific Railroad in 1886. Labor learned severe and heavy lessons from these three losses, and 1t now selects thoughtful leaders and proceeds wise ly. President Mitchell, who conducted the hard coal strike, proved himself a master in conducting a great strike, and his victory was complete. Presi- dent Shaffer may be equally compe- tent. He certainly holds the confidence of vast number of workmen.
