rHE aovEnNon nAY SETTLE rr.


 In view of the rather unique situa- ton of political affairs in South Caro- lima The Charleston Post has a plan which might bring about a result highly discomfiting to the two prin- cipal characters in the play. The Post says:
 Governor McSweeney has a rare oppor- against the arrogance and selfishness of the politicians. The Senators' resigna- tions were submitted without condition though in full expectation that a primary the Governors appointment. Let the Governor ignore the expectations and take the resignations at their face value. Let him appoint at once, without waiting McLaurin. Let him advise the Demo cratic committee that he has done this and that in his opinion the committee should not hold any primary, leaving the Legislature untrammeled and with the same opportunity he had embraced of re- buking the two Senators for their ill-con- sidered action.
 be induced to adopt such a course we do not know, nor do we know whether 1t would be feasible. or whether sach appointments would stand. but if the plan proposed by The Post cou,i be successfully carried out 1t would take all the wind out of the sails of the two Senators. It Is plain to outsiders that the resignations was a game of bluff and nothing else. MT. Tillman still had nearly four years of his term to serve, and MT. McLaurin had nearly two. but in a spirit of bragadocio or something of the kind Tillman pro- posed that they both resign and 20 before the people for endorsement and McLaurin accepted the challenge.
 It will be remembered that Roscoe Conkling and Tom Platt of New York, once resigned their positions as United States Senators in a fit of spleen, and that neither of them got back. The people took them at their word and selected other Senators. The same thing might happen in South Carolina and no one but the two most interested would be hurt. It would really be very proper solution of the situation.
 In our estimation if the real Demo- crats of South Carolina would unite they might, in case the Governor does order a primary. get control of The situation and elect two Senators who would be more credit to the State ard to the party than either of the late ones. Tillman has no claims on the -A Lauprin seems to be working his way towards Republicanism. as well as we can understand him, and If the Gov- ernor should fill the vacancies without consulting them. or if the people should select others. it would teach them a lesson and be of advantage to South Carolina.

Military China.
Sir Robert Hart in The Fortnightly
 Review

SIT Robert Hart in The Fortnightly
 Review.
 When we try to diagnose China, we find that it is a State which discoura- ges militarism and enthrones reasona- bieness, and which is not of an ag- greSsive nature. Its people are law abiding and easily governed, but they cover so broad a territory and are so numerous that, no matter how well-conducted they may be said to be as wRSie, there is always a local trouble somewhere, of one nature or another, to occupy the official mind and accordingly each province has it's own military forces for the support of authority and prevention and suppress sion of disturbances; but the work to be done is of a police kind, and the provincial soldiers. although drilled and armed, are fitted rather to deal with riotous civilians than to encounter armies. A foreigner would hesitate to call them soldiers, but calling them soldiers, he would a tonce recommend more attention to the arms they carry, changes in their drill system. and edu- cation for their officers. Still, given the geographical position of China, the general character of the Chinese peo- pie, and the real work such provincial forces have to do, 1t Is question whether native arrangements-the natural outcome of the character and wants of government and people-may not have ben the most suitable. Up- happily the drift of events and the force of circumstances now require China to see that. in addition to pre- serving or der within her borders and among her own people, not only have aliens in China to be taken into &C., count, but the military action of other States against China has to be provided

 Honesty, ability. and capacity are the greatest foundation stones Of any mans career.T They are also as neces- sary to build up and maintain strong character as pillars and beams are necessary to hold together ten story building.

 Young man they exist everywhere in the perfect life. The atmosphere Is just as full of them as it is full of the valued oxygen that gives us life. The man who inhales the oxygen can also inhale honesty, utility, and ca pacity. Once in his body, unlike the oxygen of the air. they never leave.
 Just make up your mind that you will be a man along these lines. Just say to yourself, 'I will" Make up your mind that you will. Say to your self: q will be mana true, noble, fearless man. I will study. will read, I will live for all that Is good In the world. and will save my mon- ey.

 Henry Savage Lander. artist, lirguist, explorer and writer, is described as "short and fragile, yet wiry and ca- pablo of great endurance" as indeed the story of his Thibetan travels would prove. He wears no underclothing and even in the most bitter weather his suit is thin serge.
 Ex-Senator Mitchell of Wisconsin. who has returned home after two years spent abroad with his family says that since the Spanish war 1t Is evident to

THE PRESIDENT
 AND THE DECISIONS.
The Supreme Court Has Left Him
 in a Bad Fix.

New York World.
 Not the least curious phase of the Supreme Court decisions is that while Congress is clothed with full powers over our new possessions the Presi- dents pretensions to exercise such powers are all swept away. Mir. Me- kinley's contentious were, first, that the government had "extra-constitu- tionap' powers under which it could in- dulge in expansion; and second, that he himself had the right to rule with out restraint in colonies until Congress should see fit to act.
 In his first contention only oue Jus tice agreed with him. The other eight, as The World pointed cus yesterday morning, found in the Constitution it. self the authorization eor expansion, and. by assuming Jurisdiction, served notice that all the officials of the gov ernment must still keep within the Constitution. As to MT. McKinley's second contention, the court dismissed it altogether. It emphaticaliy denied d that the President had any powers. in the territories of the United States ex- cept such as Congress might lawfully grant him.
 The full extent of these two signal defeats of the President has not yet been realized by the public Bat Mir. Mckinley is reported to- be very "un- easy" over them. The cause of this anxiety is said to be the tariff which he proclaimed" for the Philippines: and no doubt he has req son to be anx- tous on that score. A Presidential proclamation Is not an act of Congress, and the Supreme Court has declared that 1t will not answer as A substitute for one. But may it not be that he realizes that the Supreme Court had a deeper matter in mind-the whole ques- tion of Executive usurpation cnd he perils that attend it when a weak Con- gress Is willing to abdicate in favor of the Executive?
 For instance. there is the Spooner resolution by which Congress abdicat- ed in the Philippines. turning over to the President "all military, civil and the Philippine Islands," to be "exer- Of the United States shall direct" the grant of complete power being until otherwise provided by Congress-.
 The Supreme Court has declared that only Congress has the power to take and administer colonies. It has not asserted. but on the contrary ilas fat ly denied, that the President has any autocratie "extra- -constituf'onai' pow CTS. And as it has held that the Con stitution rules. how can 1t approve a dangerous and undisputedly unconsti- tutional sweeping abdication of it's rowers by Congress? Has not the court demolished the only plea in jus tification-the theory that the right to acquire and rule colonies was "extra- CL institutional"

THE PROPOSED ACTION Of Federal Government in Regard to Confederate Dead Endorsed.

Memphis Commercial Appeal.
 While there was no discussion of nor opposition to the passage in the con- vention proper of the resolutions thank ing the National Government for as- suming care of some Confederate dead and asking it to assume that for all Confederates buried in the North, still there was much opposition to the prop osition in the Committee on Resolu- tions.
 Mrs. Randolph of Virginia, on behalf Of the Daughters Of the CoAfederacy, brought up the matter of the care of the Confederate dead in Northern cen- eteries. She told of her efforts to have monuments. placed there, and said that the Superintendent of the National Cemetery at Philadelphia said: eff you place a Confederate monument in this cemetery it will be blown up with dynamite. She paid her compliments also to Secretaries Alger and Root, and Adjutant General Corbin.
 General Gordon advocated a vote of thanks to the Congress and adminis- tration, on the ground that if this was not done 1t would put us back fifty years" Tn this he was seconded by Gen. s. D. Lee.
 It was plain to be seen that these statement by officers of such promi- hcIlCe III CuS OL6dHlEdtiOh udO Q tSAAAh6 effect upon the convention.
 The Hon. H. A. Herbert. the former Secretary of the Navy, a delegate from the District of Columbia, and its mem- Der of the committee, led the fight for the vote of thanks to the Cognress and President for appropriatipg $2,5oO for the removal to Arlington Cemetery of the Confederate dead buried in the Dis trict of Columbia. He was backed in this by Dr. S. E. Lewis, also of Wash ington, and they were equipped with elaborate blue prints, showing that the Confederates had a separate portion of the cemetery and also showing the headstones for their graves.
 After considerable warm debate the committee decided upon a unanimous recommendation for both the vote of thanks and the request that the general Government assume the care and pres ervation of the graves of Confederates who are buried in the Northern States.

Raising Big Hogs in Limestone.

 Limestone has been famous Tor many things, and now she is the world beater for hams. Daly & Calvin, who are always the leaders, bought a lot of choice country hams from Sim Cor der. one of the most successful farm CTS in the county, and when he brought them in he found one that opened the eyes of these two up-to-date grocery men. They told Sim that they wanted large hams, hut were not expecting anything like beef quarter. and when the meat was unloaded Monday and was being weighed up. Judge Daily was putting down the weights when his clerk called out fifty pounds" The Judge said. weigh one at a time. The young man replied that is what I m doing. The Judge walked around and then saw that the ham was nearer the size of beef quarter than hog ham. This is the king ham of the county. The mate to 1t had been trimmed ht- tie closer than the fifty pound one, and 1t weighed forty-five pounds. Sim Is entitled to the blue ribbon and Lime stone County is the. premium growing county in the State.

as do men who are not collesiates Is entirely outside the facts. The bles- sings and advantages of education are sufficiently manifest without straining the truth in discussing them.
 And while on this subject we note recent expression from another col- lege professor, this time in Chicago university, in which he asks God to help any man who marries a college bred woman. .. He is crank. Per- haps a highly educated woman might not be contented as the wife of a rcor and obscure man, but to intimate that an educated woman cannot or will rot be good wife and mother Is a islander and a perversion. On the contrary she is better fitted for both positions. She is better companion for the man a:.d infinitely better qualified to raise good citizens than an illiterate woman is. The Chicago professor is as wild as the others who seem to see but eIe side of an educational question.

Restrained Himself.

Chicago Chronicle.
 The remarks of the venerable Sena- tor Morgan of Alabama on the subject of the resignations of Senators Tillman and McLaurin indicate that if the old gentleman had given free expression to his feelings in regard to the matter, some of his utterances would have been unfit for publication. It was entirely proper that one of the oldest and grav- est members of the Senate should char acterize the folly of the South Carolina Senators as "childs play" which it certainly is.

Wants to Test It.

Dothan Home Journal.
 But yet our praise shall not be un- bounded until we make practical test of that "scientific cooking" Really, we are just little suspicious of it. If the girls had graduated in knowledge of the good old time cooking with which the mothers and grandmothers of some of them were so familiar We would feel more hopeful. But the "scientific" attachment excites our fears. The health and happiness of mankind de- pend so largely upon good cooking that we look at changes from the old way with some degree of anxiety. Yet it must be admitted that the good old way is sadly missed by many cooks in these days.
