South Carolina, wearing the So6ri-
Quet of the palmetto State" which
led off in war against the union for
Estates Rights" seems to be ambit-
lous to get on the side of progress or
expansion. SENATOR McLaurin is for
the latter and hence Tillman's opposit-
ION. They came to an open rupture at
Gaffney, on Saturday, at which both
spoke. Tillman said if McLaurin was
a Democrat, he was not, and the only
thing for McLaurin to do if he could
not stand on the platform on which he
was elected, was to resign.
Tillman attacked McLaurin's record
since he had been in the Senate. Sena-
tor McLaurin said
Tillman's conduct was brutal, and
his manner of forcing himself on this
meeting was indecent. Tho inslnua-
ton that he (McLaurin) was handling
any of Mark Hanna's money was a
falsehood and unworthy of a Senator
and gentleman.
McLaurin asked: 'Why does no
Illlman offer to resign if I'm elected I?
He says if I'm elected the people will
repudiate him. No; you'll not find
Benjamin resigning. He is not that
sort"
Tlllman who was sitting near, sprang
up and said; I'll resign right now, if
you will, and We'll go before the peo-
pie together"
Senator McLaurin said he was will
ing.
Tiltman-"Draw up the papers to
resign right now and both agreed to
them.
This action of the two Senators has
been a general subject of conversation
among politicians.
Senator McLaurin voted for the rat
ifcatiOn of the Spanish treaty and has
announced himself an expansionist, a
protectiOnist and supporter of the
Ship Subsidy bill, in behalf of which
he spoke in the Senate this spring.
Senator Tillman, on the other hand.
has violently opposed everything that
McLaurin has advocated, and their po-
litical differences, it is well-known,
have strained their personal relations
to the point of breaking.
Tlllman is the acknowledged Demo
cratic boss of the State. That means
that he is the greatest POLITICAL power
In the State, for there is no Republican
party worth mentioning, inasmuch as
the negroes are disfranchised by an
educational clause in the State Consti.
tuition. Moreover, Tillman has Just
swept the State and has his forces well |
in hand.
McLaurin defends his action bv saw
ing he was acting in the interest of the
new South, believing that the party
that has brought prosperity should he
supported. He denounced free silver
's dead issue since last fall.

Calling the Doctor.

A good story is told of Or. x, who is
the physician in charge of the female
wards of one of our best known chari-
table Institutions. One evening about
% o'clock Mary, a new Irish servant
girl knocked at the door, saying;
Doctor. the head nurse wants you
tocomc down to supper"
The doctor swelling in his pride Of
superiority above the nurses, sent the
Irish girl away with a curt message.
Hail an hour later the head nurse came
TO his room looking very serious.
Doctor" she said. NO s is very bad
indeed / think you ought to see her at
once
why did you not let me know be-
foro: was the reply.
"WAy, Doctor" said the nurse, II
sent You word by Mary half an hour
ago"
The fool" said the doctor. "She
told me to come down to support
WHY said the nurse, Il sent you
word 10 come down to elghtm
An inquiry made the whole thing
clear Mary thought it more polite to
say Come down to supper" than TO
say Come down TO ate Pearson

The RED Flag.

The red button and the red flag have
teen the emblem Of labor and reyolu-
ton for more than 1000 years. In the
ancient world the favorite colors Of the
arlstocracy were white and azure blue,
while red was plebelan. Minerva and
Ceres. the goddcsses Of labor and agri-
culture were always represented as
dressed In flaming red. and the ban
ners of the Greek and Roman trade
unions were Of the same color. The red
flag nowhere in antiquity meant feroc-
ity and slaughter, but rather typifed
the fact tnat all men, whether slaves
or masters. had in their veins the same
blood and in their nature the same hui
maniry.
But In the frequent scrrile wars OF
Italy and Greece the red flag gradually
became the emblem not Of labor. but Of
revolt. At one time when the rebel
llous slaves and gladiators under Spar
tacus defeated three Roman armies ths
red flag was on the point Of srTplant
inE the eagle In the imperial city itself
1t Is related that the labor soldiers
were so fanatically devoted to theil
dag that 1t was the custom Of theil
generals when in battle to hurl 1t fal
into the enemy's ranks and so compe
its devotees TO rush forward and recoy
er it.-New York Post.
