LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN.

With the corn crop in the west burnt
up there is bound to be murmurings of
discomfort. Why such a calamity
should have befallen the country just
when the war in Manila had ceased,
Porto Rico had been given free trade,
Cuba had been convinced of her
approaching happiness, and McLaurin
had tumbled into the Republican
party, no one can tell. All was going
nicely. SchleY was to be inundated.
Sampson was to be immortalized, the
strikers were driven hack to work, the
trusts were to celebrate their victory,
"a ilroad rates were advancing, consoli
dstion was spreading, happiness every
where, only few articles were yet
outside the combines. the Republicans
were in power, Organism for the nine
hundr edith time was dead, Morgan was
in Wall Street, Schwab in Europe,
and Carnegie in library. Why then
should this calamity come at this
time 1t is hard to tell, but somebody
left the prosperity bars down and the
beast has strayed away or ben stolen.

JOINED TO HIS IDOLS.

There is some trepidatiOn and much
grumbling just now among our Repub'
lican friends over the outcome of the
South Carolina senatorial situation.
Senator McLaurln was elected as a
Democrat, but he has become a Re
publican, and Senator Tillman who is
at the head of the loyal Democrats of
that State and who having been a
DEMONSTRATING been elected to the
Senate as Democrat, has not changed
his coat, has read Senator McLaurin
out of the party.
This reading out from a Republican
standpoint, and from a semi-fepubli
can standpoint, is great crime. We
are sure that when Lucifer began his
career which led to his being disgraced
and cast out, if the Republicans who
are now such enthusiastic supporters
OF Senator McLaurin had been present
they would have championed his
cause, had they been running news
papers they would have told how badly
Lucifer was treated and how good and
true he was. Mr.. McLaurin from their
standpoint is truly great man. The
New York Sun which for hot Republi-
canism and denunciatiOn Of the South,
has no equal, and never has had, says
that tho whip cracks little too loudly
over the "Hon. John Lowndes McLau-
rim and those other South Carolina
Democrats who prefer progress, bust
ness, new markets for the South, to
the stale old policies of Organism and
Tillmanism, and tells the country
that Tillman and his followers are
crying, Down with the traitor Nc
Laurin the ally of Black Republican.
ISM" This action on the part of Mr..
Tillman may seem great sin to the
Black Republicans in the North and in
Virginia, but it is nevertheless taking
place. If Mr.. McLaurin is the ally of
that very Black body, then SO much
the worse for him. He will 60 to the
wall and should 60. No man can be a
Republican and vote with the Demo
Gratis, and no man can be Democrat
and vote with the Republicans, any
more than he can blow hot and cold
at the same time, or be black and
white at the same time. We feel some
sympathy for those gentlemen of Vir-
ginia who weep over the McLaurin
fall, who themselves have turned the
McLaurin summersault, as we'll as for
McLaurin who has turned the Virginia
Republican summersault, because he
10 damned by his former friends and
looked on with suspicion by his new
lilies, and in his new as well as his old
field bis usefulness has departed, but
the wages of such sin is death and
ought to be. McLaurin must go with
those who love him and who admire
treachery. There is no other place for
him.

OUR PLAIN DUTY.

President Mckinley has now set his
hand to proclamation abolishing the
Porto Rican tariff, the thing he long
ago declared to be ''our plain duty"
But as we remember, the Trusts had
subscribed to the campaign fund: and
they interferred and had the "plain
duty" postponed until they were re-
lmbursed, which they told Congress it
was its plain duty" to do, and Con-
gress, assisted by the President, did if,
for once at least doing its "plain
duty"

There has been suggestion that the
more prominent Republicans in Vir-
ginia, for example, Gen. Walker, Gen.
Hampton Hoge and Gen. Rosser, keep
out OF the gubernatorial race, and
some men who are not so well known
and such rank favorites step up to the
front. If this be the plan adopt d, we
have several suggestions to make as to
the not well known, and the not rank
favorites.

has been singularly fortunate. We
don't ask change of these conditions,
all we ask them is, please do nothing,

II they must do something, do it in
