SEAT SALE TOMORROW
Reservations for Sir Robert Balls
Lecture Under Press Club
Auspices.

The sale of seats for the lecture to
be given by Sir Robert Ball at the
Burtis opera house next Thursday
evening under the auspices of the
Tri-City Press club opens tomorrow
morning at o'clock ntBleuer's Jew
elry store. Judging from the inter-
est evinced in the visit of the noted
astronomer there should be large
advance sale and a full house to
greet him. The following is taken
from last evenings Davenport Dem
ocrat:
The following letter from the city
superintendent of the schools of Dav-
export is eloquent of the merits of
the lecture that Sir Robert Ball will
give us:
Davenport. Ia. Dec. 4.-CEditor of
The Democrat:)
Allow me to say through your col
umns that 1 am glad the people of
the tri-cities are to have an oppor-
tunity of hearing Sir Robert Ball.
1t is more than an opportunity; il is
a great privilege. There is more
education and inspiration to higher
and nobIer aims in life in seeing and
hearings great MEN than we are wont
TO realize. And Robert Ball is a
great man. In his line he has few
equals and no superiors. Especially
as a popular speaker on astronomical
subjects is he without 4 peer today.
He has message for each of us,
and it will be given in so simple and
untechnical language that it can be
understood by all. Particularly am
| anxious that all teachers and older
pupils should hear it. We do not
know as much about the worlds
around us and the starry heavens"
as we ought to know. Here is a
chance to learn. Such another may
not come in our lifetime.
The Tri-City Press club has done
the tri-city people great service in
providing so rare an entertainment,
and its efforts ought to be appre-
ciated by an overlooking house. We
owe this to the club and to the man.

An End to Rumors.

This disposes of the rumOrs cur
rent during the last few days that
the large advance in Rock Island
stock this week was due to the Penn
sylvania railroad interests buying
Rock Island stock with the view of
getting control of the property. a
high Pennsylvania official stated
yesterday that his company had not
been buying Rock Island stock. The
Pennsylvania policy of not going
west of Chicago and st. Louis, he
said, is as firmly fixed today as it
ever has been.
w. G. Purdy has nat been forced
out of the presidency. He proba-
bly, could have retained the position
had he desired to keep it. He has
contemplated resigning for some
time, as his health has become SER
iously impaired. He became con-
nected with the road in January,
1867. as bookkeeper in the cashiers
office, and advanced rapidly until,
when President Cable resigned to
become chairman of the board, Mr..
Purdy succeeded to the presidency.

AUGUST JOHNSON,

In view of the peculiar fitness of
the floor of the old icehouse on the
Bastian place for the grewsome pur-
poses of its former owner the sug-
gestion is offered that il wouId be
well for the authorities TO pursue
the search n little further in that di-
rection for the purpose of ascertain
ing. if any of the others supposed to
have gone the way of Louderbach
and Kreinsen were secreted there.
The fact that n hole could be dug
there at any time in the winter when
most of the disappearances took
place and that the sawdust furnish
ed such a ready means of covering
up all clews renders it extremely
probable that it was made use of
for such purposes more than once.
Then and Now.
The lapse of time, brief though il
may have been, has had a strangely
amusing effect upon the Unions
memory. to say nothing of impress
sions. The events developed in the
Bastian case by The Argus at the
time, as the Union remembers them
today. are quite in contrast with
what really happened.
From the date of the murder of
Fred Kuschmann up till the very
morning on which Bastian's body
was found hanging i'm the tool shed,
the Union failed To give any encour-
agement to the murder theory be-
yond a faint re-echoing of some of
the more important developments
told from day to day in The Argus.
q. ,.F
of the body of the murderer where
he had suicided TO escape the conse-
quences of his deeds. the morning
paper published the protest written
in behalf of the people of Black
Hawk who still believed in Bastian
and asserting the belief that all sus-
picions were groundless and de-
the effort to- fix the blame
upon Bastian. The article was
headed with the following introduce
ton: People living south of Rock
River have from the first taken lit
tie stock in the theory that. Fred
was murdered and more
patient investigation into the facts |
and surroundings have only served |
to confirm them in the conclusion
that the coroner's jury was right in
the unfortunate young |
mans fate to the injuries sustained |
through the Righteousness of the |
young horse he bestrode."
The Argus has at no time failed to
give all the credit that was due to
I'll who really figured in the case at
my stage and particularly to the
hen deputy coroner, l.. V. Eckhart.
whose assistance to The Argus in
hat connection has been repeatedly

at all, that the farm is a graveyard
of Bastian victims in a number that
no man now knows. Here is a list
that The Argus ascertained at the

ing to persuade the voters to
send them to Washington to sue
ceed the Hon. John L. McLaur-
in. I was very proud of my sue
cess in having Col. Lees high
character and ability recognized.
If then to favor the ratification
of the Paris treaty, by which
foreign territory was acquired
for moneyed consideration, and
to increase our army for the pro
per protection of our increased
interests, is Republicanism, then
Col. Lee himself ''has not been
faithful to the trust reposed in
him by the Democratic party of
South Carolina" for he endor-
ses these things, and he should
make public apology for dam
ming an honest public servant,
who is endeavoring to serve the
best interests of his State, and
whose views are not materially
different from those held by my
distinguished friend from Sum
ter. If to be a Democrat in
South Carolina means to vote as
Senator Tillman dictates, then
in the language used by Senator
Tillman in 1896 at Wichita, Kan
sas, I canHexclaim, :'And you
Democrats, who say you have
always voted with the party and
will continue to vote it, God have
mercy on your imbecility."

before furrow has been run or seed
put into the ground. We must accept
for our great staple and only money
crop whatever price those gamblers
and spectators see fit to give US.
but when that Nicaraguan canal is
completed, and great fleets of steam
ships bound for the East, must touch at
our ports. our Southern farmers will
then be able to deal with the men who
manufacture their cotton into cloth,
and abolish not only those Liverpool
directions and those Wall street specu-
lators, but put in their pockets what it
now costs to transport a bale OF cotton
to New York. At the very lowest cal
culation this will be net gain of from
two to five dollars to our Southern
farmers on every bale OF cotton they
produce.
The South will then not only have di-
rect trade with Europe, but our cotton
growers will be able to deal directly
with the manufacturers and save the
millions upon millions of dollars they
are every year forced to pay to railroads
and the army of men who handle and
manipulate their crops. The Southern
farmer can then haul his cotton to the
nearest mill and sell it, and if prices
there are not satisfactory, carry it to
some neighboring sea port, and where
all the great foreign mills will have
buyers.
And not only will the cotton grower
be benefited, but there are thousands
of other commodities produced in the
South, now going to waste for want OF
TRANSPORTATION, and for which we can
find ready market. 1t will take vast
quantity of vegetables and meats to
victual the thousands of ships that will
touch at our port, and therefore our
farmers will find convenient market
for everything they grow on their land.
And many of those vessels will return
in ballast and we will be enabled to get
very cheap freight rates across the
ocean. In clearing land, we can utll-
ize every stick of timber. Take the
common locust, for instance. They
command high price in England, but
we let this fruit rot on the ground for
the want of a market.
Now, cannot the intelligent Demo
cratic voters of South Carolina see why
those Western Populists, who live on
the line of Pacific railway, should
seek to prejudice the South against the
annexation of the Philippines, and
commit the Democratic party to a poll
cy clearly inimical and antagonistic to
the interests of the South, and which
will result in keeping back our section
and making US continue to pay tribute
to the East and the West.
And neither can 1 understand how a
newspaper, published at one of our sea-
coast cities, should fall into any such
trap. Five years from the day the
Mica raguan canal is open, Charleston
will not only double, but triple, in po-
pu-lation, business and wealth.
But am not through with this Phil
ippine question yet, and in my next
letter will show what our new East
ern possession will do both for the cot
ton producer and manufacturer.

APPELT'S EXPOSE.

To the Editor OF The News
and Courier: I highly appreciate
your fairness in publishing my
letter of the 25rd. inst, making
INQUIRIES of Col. r. D. Lee, of
Sumter, with regard to certain
national questions. I sent a copy
of the same letter to the Colum-
bia State, and that paper did not
publish it, I presume, because
my questions indicated views
that it is antagonizing. There
fore your disposition to be fair
and permit an honest discussion
of these questions is commenda
BILE and deserving Of my profound
thanks.
In his reply to my questions in
your issue of the 26th, inst, Col.
R. D. Lee complains of my max
ing a ''private conversation" the
basis of a ''public discussion. %
He evidently recognizes the right
of a citizen to have private and
public political views, the one
the opinion of the man, the
other, those of the crafty politi-
clan. My standard of citizen
ship teaches me that what is ex-
pressed on public questions in
private should also be the views
to be publicly expressed. Con-
sistency demands this, and hon
esty to the people demands it.
Hence, knowing Colonel Lee as
I do. and entertaining a high re-
gard for him, 7 assume that what
he stated in a private conversa-
ton on a political question was his
public views, or else I should
not have alluded to what took
place on the same night, and
Shortly after the adjournment of
the executive committee, which
had adopted resolutions that I
regard Infamous, and for which
my friend voted.
In justice to myself I shall
briefly relate what took place
between US on the night alluded
to, I was waiting for a car to go
to the Governors mansion,
where I was a guest, and Colonel
Lee came up on his way
to his hotel, I twitted him
pleasantly about voting for the
Resolutions, by asking him if he,
too, was afraid of Tillman's
whip. He said: II think Sen
ator McLaurin has gone too far. y
He said: "Now, I approve of
McLaurin's vote on the Paris
treaty: you know Mr.. Bryan ad-
vised it and I think he was right.
I also approve of McLaurin's
position on expansion; this
country has made wonderful
strides, and McLaurin's vote on
the army bill was, under the
circumstances, eminently proper,
but when McLaurin voted for
that ship subsidy bill he went
too far" This is almost word
for word what Colonel Lee said.
I expressed my amazement that,
