MAY WITHDRAW FROM CABINET
Rumor is Started that Postmaster
General Smith viii Retire.

WASHINGTON. May 17-The post
master general. Charles Emory Smith,
has given up the lease of his Wash
ington home. and there are rumors
that this portends his resignation
from the cabinet within the coming
year. All the personal effects of Mr..
and Mrs. Smith were sent to Phila-
delphia prior to their departure with
the presidential party. and 1t is under
stood that on their return they will
reside at the Arlington. Mrs. Smith
will spend the summer at the various
resorts of Maine and New Hamr-
shire. where she has numerous rela-
tives and friends.
Those who are close to the postmas-
ter general say that he is only retain
ing his office at the earnest solcita-
ton Of President Mckinley and that
as soon as practicable and agreeable
to the plans of the chief executive
he desires to return to newspapnr
work. Mr.. Smith is not a man of large
means and has held Office at person
al sacrifice. He has found the ex-
penses of maintaining a Washington
home and entertaining on large
scale is beyond his means, p NJ II he
should decide to remain In the cabf-
net during the full term of President
Mckinley he will board a. ore OF the
hotels. as does Secretary Long, who
has never taken part In any of the Of
fetal entertaining.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1s.-For the

COLUMBIA. s. c.. May 13.-The
politics of South Carolin are in
what may be called an interesting sit.
uation, but to appreciate the signif
cance one must take into consid era
ton few events in history. Before
the war South Carolina was ruled bv
what is familiarly known as the
plantation aristocracy. a close and ex.
elusive clan which was autocratic and
independent After the war came
what Is known as the carpet bag peri
cd. when former soldiers and camp
followers of the union army organized
the newly enfranchised negroes In-
to Republican party and controlled
the offices and the finances of the
state. These We're overthrown by
force-a political revolution. Sena-
tor Tillman says, I'VE shot 'em. we
scared EN-, we cheated EN-. and we
drove EN- away from the polls" Then
the eX-soldier came into power, the
confederate brigadier" Nobody
could get an office or evercisa any
power unless he had served in the
southern army. and If he had left a
leg or an arm upon the battle field
or carried the marks of the conflict
upon his person, his influence and po-
sition was advanced During the
rule of the Confederate brigadier"
the Farmers alliance was organized

security to become the political die
tator of the state. He has been an
absolute monarch. His viii has been
law, and the great voting mass OF the
Democrats have stood by him and
obeyed his orders in II most remarka-
Bile manner. Neither Bryan In Ne
braska nor Croker In New York. nor
German In Maryland, nor Hanna In
Ohio. has ever had so complete and
unquestlonable authority as Tillman.
The old aristocracy. the CONNER

other people of means have been op-

minority and that resistance to Till

The Republican party Is practically
extinct The negroes no longer vote

in numbers that they are only able

maintained a nominal organization for
the sake of securing recognition at

Man and His Microbes.

Kansas City Journal.
From the cradle to the grave our
most constant companion. one. indeed,
who is never absent, is little MIR. MI
crobe. He is with us from start to
finish, and we can't shake him. try as
we may At least, that is what DR..
Ellie Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur In
stitute of Paris, said in a lecture In
Manchester. Eng, the other day; and
what the doctor says on this subject
goes" He Is recognized as the
worlds top-notcher among microbe
sharps.
According to DR.. Metchnikoff's sto-
ry little Mr.. Microbe "and his SIS
ters and his cousins and his aunts"
make their appearance in the human
body within few hours, commonly
from 10 to II. after birth. and they
proceed to get busy without delay.
The follicles of the skin presumably
first receive their attention. But they
have an especial fondness for the mu-
cous membranes, the stomach. the in
testines and the recesses of the res
piratory organs. Thirty varieties find
the mouth a congenial field of opera
tions, while within the large intestine
from forty to fifty species keep some
thing doing The average grown per
son of ordinary health and weight may
reflect with such satisfaction as the
knowledge affords upon the fact that,
although he may not be captain OF
industry" his works" provide EN-.
pioyment and sustenance for no few
er than seventy kinds of the festive
little microbes, and In incalculable
numbers.
Naturally. under such circumstan,
ces, there is more or less clashing
among the representatives of the diff
ferent organizations in their struggle
for precedence, but the consequent In
ternal dissensions are not necessarily
calculated to injure us. DR.. Metch-
nikoff reassuringly AYERS. The good
microbes not infrequently eat UP the
bad ones. much to our physical better
ment. Many are beneficial rather
than otherwise. Wounds in the
mouth, for example. beal more quick
ly than those on the surface of the
body, the doctor says, for the reason
that the microbes and their soluble
products stimulate the curative pro
cess. and the secretions of the mi
crobes attract the white corpuscles
of the blood, which clean the wounds
of mortified tissue. So. too. there Is
reason to believe. 1t is said. that the
wholesome microbes In the lower di
gestive organs prevent the develop
ment of others that are unwholesome
in some cases destroying the malig
nant cholera germ.
The learned doctor must be regard
ed as having rendered timely and val
liable service in thus enlightening us
1t is comforting to be assured that af
ter all Mr.. Microbe may not be hal
bad fellow. don't you know. Since
necessarily he constitutes SO import
ant and permanent feature Of on
internal economy. let us endeavor II
dwell together in peace and harmony
and rely on him. to do the rest-th'
