TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The action of the Governor in re-
tardng the announcement OF his
nominations aud appointments to
the Senate is caused by his desire to
cause deadlock here and 10 use it
as lever against the free franchise
which we have been granted by
Congress. Mr.. Dole should remem-
ber that he is not running Washing
ton, a fact which he certsinly should
feel aware Of when Judge Gear re-
ceived his appointment.

ed to pay for the error out OF his
own pocket although the taxpayers
haven't lost single cent through
the error, We feel assured that
the Legislators to whom the matter
was referred did not understand the
circumstances. II they had they
would surely have reported favor
ably on Mr.. Dow's claim. If we
waut our officials to be honest, we
should certainly treat them with
fairness and justice. When the ap-
preparation bill comes up the mat
ter should be re opened.

JSr bnOuiu De re-Openeu,
The Boston Herald of S ptember
Sth devotes six columns to vaccna-
tion, its beauties, aud lrow faithful
Iy it is enforced in Mass schusetts.
Among the points worthy of note
are the following:
''The law compels each child to
be vaccinated unless physician
shall certify that the child ia physc-
ally unfit 1t the operation is
harmless and benedcial,' as is as
serted, why deprive these little two
year old wssklings Of its benefit.
"Out Of 1S children who died last
year of small pox in Massachusetts
nine were unvaccinated,' conss-
.Quently the other nine were vaccin-
ated, and presumably these were
tbs whom the vacoinators dared
not vaccinate because of there ex-
treme debility. But why did the
othec nina healthy ones not only
contract small pox, bu. die uf it?
"Dr. III. Lincoln Chase informed
the Herald's reporter that small pox
is ore of the most, virulent diseases,
Ii 50, how can we account for the
fact that the thousands of cases
that have occurred in this couotry
during the past two years have been
marked by fatality almost nil2
The same doctor told the reporter
that an unvaccinated person ex-
pos d to the disease is almost GER
tain to contract it, Wonder how
the doctor would account for the
fact that the disease almost invari-
ably breaks out and spreads among
the .vacciuated? Vide, Leicester,
and other places.
"One bright spot in the dreary
rubbish is the statement OF the
Superintendent OF the BraiDtree,
that he never excluded a child from
the schools because it was not vac
cinated.
"The most d:scouraEing thing
about this whole question is he Ie-
iusal of physicians, school supe5iu
tendents, boards OF health, editors
and others, to look beyond the FIRST
effects of vaccination to its insidious
after # eta. The first ff,c.s are
bad enough, but are nothing when
compared to the life loug misery
that it entails, and no one, knows
the cauee. Many mother can tes-
tify to the fact that -up,to the time
when tho law compe led her poison
from COW sore inserted into the
blood OF her child it was remarkably
healthy, but from that date, al
though the sora healed, there was a
subtle change in the little ones

ancient superstition. Consumption,

Through clerical oversight Mr..
H. M. Dow, the chief clerk OF the
police department, paid into the
Treasury about S400 in excess of the
amount due from his department.
Owing to the red tape system Of the
government it has become neces sary
for Mr.. Dow to ask the Legislature
to pass a resolution, approprating
a sufficient sum with which to re-
imburse him. The Legislature de-
clined to adopt the resolution, say

WORST HORSE ON RECORD.
Eat to Draw a HeaRse to
the Cemetery.

Lincoln used to be fond of telling
story which he got from Mr.. Connant
of lawyer in a western town who de-
sired the nomination for county judge,
says the San Francisco Argonaut On
the morning preceding the evening on
which the county convention was to
meet he applied to the livery stable
keeper in his village for a horse and
buggy in which to drive to the county
vention was to be held Give me the
best and the fastest horse you have
Sam" said he. 80 that will have time
to 60 around and see the boys before
the convention comes in" The livery
man, however. was supporting rival
candidate, and gave the lawyer a horse
that outwardly appeared perfect, but
which broke down entirely before half
the journey was completed, so that
when the candidate arrived the conven-
tion had adjourned and his rival had
been nominated.
On his return to the stable late the
following afternoon, knowing that it
was useless to resent the trick played
upon him. he said to the owner: Look
here. Smith. you must be training this
horse for the New York market. You
expect to sell him to an undertaken for
a hearse horse. don't you? Well, its
time wasted. | know from his gait
that YOU have spent days training him
to pull hearse. but he'll prove dead
failure. Why. he's so slow he couldn't
get corpse to the cemetery in time
for the resurrection"

> 1t is reported and believed that
Buenos Ayres. the capital Of the Argen-
tine republic, is the headquarters of
the bloody con~spirators who are said to
have resolved and planned to kill all
of the crowned heads in Europe. If
this is true ought not these would-be as
sassins to be hunted out and punished?
1t is contended that Uncle Sans rather
antiquated Monroe Doctrine is on
cerned with these plotters. That is to
say, that Buenos Ayres is reached by
the aforesaid doctrine. We do not
know how that is. If the assassins are
there plotting why shall not the Ar
%gentines attend to them? A report
from Berlin is to the effect that the
projected assassination of the German
emperor, the Czar of Russia and the
King and Queen of Italy, it will be
clear says the Philadelphia Times, that
the announcement is mere the fore
runner of a bold attempt on the part
of those mOnarchs to seize the Argen-
tine republic and possibly other coun-
tries in South America.

HOW SUBSIDIZED ROADS PLUMB
Erred.

The newspapers are showing UP
some OF the workings of subsidies in
the United States and the, surprising
and disappointing results. The Char
lesion News anr Courier shows by il
Illustration how the bestowing of big
Subsidies brings no safety to, the coun-
try or benefit to the plundered people,
that is by monopoly.
The Philadelphia Record notes and
says that 'tas an example it points to
the Pacific railways, so heavily sub
died by the government. The. history
of the dealing of these corporations
with the communities whose traffic
they absolutely controlled is a history
of rapine. The government has had
public no greater advantage, as the
result Of payment of subsidies to steam
ship lines. That, also, is a history of
scandal and failure"
1t is also stated that the Canadian
Pacific railroad charged less than the
American subsidized lines charge. Why
this? Can there be but one answer
that they are better managed and are
less greedy. The Atlanta Journal has
been also considering the effects of
subsidies: upon the great northern rail-
ways. 1t brings up afresh the once
we'll known story of the Pacific lines
md how u~njustly and plnnderingly
they dealt with the American people
whose susidies they enjoyed and who
they robbed through the U. S. govern
ment. Ii is instructive and; will refresh
the memories of many of cur readers.
1t says.
"The Pacific railroads received lavish
favorS from b government. They
were given the most enormous LAND
grants ever bestowed upon corporations
and made many millions OF dollars by
the sale OF what cost them nothing.
The government went further and en-
Idorsed the bonds of these corporations
Ito the extent of $3.50. 900. Instead o.
making an honest effort to pay the
debt thus incurred. these companies
lresorted to every conceivable means to
beat the government out OK what they
owed it, and they succeeded in doine
so to an almost incredible extent. They
not only refused to pay the principal
of the debt as it fell due. but actually
compelled congress to appropriate
lmoney year after a to pay the in.
~Iterest on their bonds.
such effrontery and such a success
lful holding up of a great government
tby private corporations was never
heard of before. And, while the gov.
lernment was being left to whistle fol
tits money. the men who owned thu
railroads. which had been built on thu
government credit. were growing enor
Imously rich. They all became multi

There are various reasons which
may account for the ex-senator's at

gotten nor forgiven his defeat for re-
election to the senate by Ben Tillman,
and this disappointment has evidently
tlnctured his views OF he ruling po-
litical sentiment in South Carolina;
for we find him declaring that pop
ular constitutional government is in
much more danger from demagogism.
socialism. populism. anarchism, and
such heresies and fallacies' than from
imperialism and militarism. Another
reason is that General Butler was not
long 20 a representative of this same
militarism. holding a major generals

No person of intelligence and fairness

as yet, but a fellow can not be two
Opposing things at the same time. Put
on your genuine republican colors and
