1t is reported from South Carolina
that there viii be at least six candidates
seeking the nomination for United States
Senator in the Democratic primaries this
fall. The South Carolina custom is to
make the nomination in the primaries
by the direct vote of the people. The
Legislature only ratifes or confirms the
choice so indicated. Senator McLaurin
is unlikely to be considered for re-elec-
ton. Last fall he was going through the
State claiming to be a true Democrat,
although supporting distinctively Re
publican policies. The wind was taken
out of his sails by his colleagues pro-
posal that both resign and submit their
claims as Democrats to the people, be-
cause, as Tillman said, if MeLaurin was
a Democrat, he himself was not, and
should not hold the seat to which he had
lately been elected for full term. 1t
is still said that McLaurin is to be re-
warded for his vain efforts to build up
a Republican party in the South by
life office as judge. We shall doubt that
President Roosevelt will do this scan
dalous thing until it is done. There are
in the South several hundred lawyers
better qualified in point of ability and
character for the office for which Nc
Laurin is said to be slated.

Through the deaths of Frank Stock
ton, Paul l.. Ford and Bret Harte.
American letters has suffered material
loss. Bret Harte, as the pioneer short
story writer, had welded an influence
difficult to estimate. Kipling, who is
still ranked creates of the clan, ac-
knowledges that he owes much to Bret
Harte. Consciously or otherwise, the
same influence worked upon the long
line of short story writer's who have
made fame and fortune-not only for
themselves, but for magazine and book
publishers as well-since Harte began.
An authorized life of Bret Harte is
now being prepared by T. E. Pember
ton, dramatic critic of the Birmingham
(Eng) Post and biographer of numer-
Gus actors-Sothern, John Hare, Rob-
ertson, the Kendalls, etc. 1t seems
that Mr.. Pemberton was closely associ-
ated with Mr., Harte as collaboration in
several dramatic pieces, SO that his Sc
lection as biographer of Harte may
have been the authors personal choice.
1t will be a matter of regret that an
American who has come ir contact with
the life of the West as Harte knew it
was not chosen for the biographical
IL.
Harte had become thoroughly identi-
fed with English manners and Gus
toms, it was the early California life
which gave him material for the stories
which made the greatest success for
him. Some one has suggested that
Mark Twai would have been just the
man for the place. He certainly knew
the life of early California mining
tamps-he knew Harte in those days.

Some of the Boston papers have been

knew the name or names of the mysteri-

Dwight Tiltop. There have been various
guesses but there is a popular impress
sion that two newspaper men, Wilder
Quint, the literary and musical critic,
and George Richardson, the dramatic
critic, of a Boston daily, wrote this
novel, which is having such a popular
sale everywhere. These gentlemen deny
they are Dwight Tilton." The idea of
this identification arises from the strik
ing characteristics of the two men in
question found in the composite photo
graph which the publishers supplied to
several Boston papers, but the publishers
are still guessing with the public. They
are dealing with the mysterious Dwight
Tilton through a duly accredited agent.
