AS to the State Campaign.
Special to News and Courier.
On the Road, July 13.-The
race for office with the state cam
paigners is rapidly nearing the
half-mile post. 1t is on a circu-
lar track and the string is not in
sight. No matter how the racers
may stand now-something at
present unknown to this day and
generation--it is only the finish
that counts. The staying power
of true merit wins when the
echoes of the carrying power of a
month, tongue and a voice have
long since been silent. That the
race is not always to the swift
nor the battle to the strong g is a
fact qualified by the use of only
one word. In politics many eX-
traneous facts are oft times so
qualified, but IN this day, even
in South Carolina, most paste
diamond SOlomOns venture their
money on the swiftest horse and
on the best trained athlete.
TO "BOY UP A TREE"
there are many curious things
plainly visible behind the scenes
OF a South Carolina windmill
peoples primary. The fact that
some speakers in this primary
must make their speeches at a
cost Of one hundred dollars per
hour is an astounding statement,
yet this can be mathematically
and financially proven. If silence
is golden free speech in South
Carolina is sometimes a free sill
yer, sub-treasury luxury-to put
it mildly. So let the dear people
hearken diligently, for ont Of
these mouths cOmeth the issue of
political preferment and office.
FarCiCal details OF this primary
plan would make volumn as
voluminous and as worthless as
are Congressional reports and
would make the dear people long
to substitute "secondary ar
rangement" for the present "pri-
mary plan"
A MISSION FOR THE FOOL L-KILLEe.
1t is well known fact that the
fool killer has never given atten-
ton to his manifold duties If
he were to follow primary cam.
paign meetings he could do such
service in a few hours as would
entitle him to some Of the rest
and leisure he now so unworthily
enjoys. Beyond question many
fools do here congregate. For
instance, at recent meeting.
when one of the speakers was
carefully discussing an important
question, he was interrupted by
one whose natural deficiencies
were great and whose absence of
mind was permanent. With inane
expression, added to by attempt
at momentary Importance, his
interruption was made to ask the
following question : What gin
eral fought the first battle ~ He
should have had direct informa.
ton as to what citizen fought the
last battle, but received a polite
reply. This is only one indication
of many evidences that the pri-
mary system will fall by its own
weight. The audiences have now
very little of the proper formal
respect due even to such occa.

]STHMlAN REBELLION.
The RevolutiOnists Reported to Have
Seized American Property.


PANAMA, Colombia, May 30.-The
governor of Panama, General Aalazar,
referring to the revolutionary situation
on the isthmus, said he had received
news that the revolutionary general
Herrera had issued decree appropri-
ating all the produce Of Chiriqui PROV
incc, where many Americans own plan
tati0ns.
Il advised the American consul gen.
cral here, II. A. Gudger, that it would
be well to send the United States
cruiser Philadelphia to protect Ameri-
can interests there" said General Sala.
Ear. INSTEAD Of sending the Philade-
pbia. however, continued the general,
"Mr. Gudger directed communication
to General Herrera via Bocas del TOro
inQuiring as to the truth of the state
ment that the produce of Chiriqui had
been appropriated. General Herrera
cannot receive this communication for
two weeks, therefore in order to pro-
tect the interests of citizens Of the
United States have ordered the gov
ernmcnt gunboats Chucuito and Boya.
ca to sea to capture the revolutionary
vessels which are carrying the produce
exported from Chiriaui province"
Continuing, General Salazar said that
a big engagement which should decide
the fate of the rebellion on the sthmus
must be taking pace at punta pena or
Chiriqu t;ranue.

HURRIED MEETING OF THE CABINET
In Spite of Assurances of Mr.. Hal

sRegRrdinK the Outcome Of the -
Pretoria Conferences.

LONDON, May 3O.--A dispatch from
Pretoria published this morning in the
Times says that unless the Beers sud
denly veer around there is good reason
to hope they will soon give notification
of their acceptance Of the British
terms.
The morning papers are unanimous
in accepting the statement Of the
government leader, a. J. BaIfour,
III the house of commons yesterday rs
having but one meaning namely.
peace-but the papers believe that its
long experience with the as,utc Rocr
character compels the government to
the unusual precantion of announcing
nothing until the terms Of peace are
actually signed lest another surprise
should be forthcoming at the very last
moment.
A meeting Of the cabinet was sum
moned hastily yesterday morning upon
receipt by the government of news
from Pretoria. The session began at
II: 30 O'Clock and ended at l245.
In the house of commons Mr.. A. j,
Ralfour said he hoped to be able to
make a statement in the house on Mon
day in regard to the budget and the
peace ncgot iations.

full whether the strikers would be per.

City-Neither VIII Talk.
NEW YORK, May 3O.-Among men
well informed on the coal mining situa.
ton the opinion prevails here that
Monday will see the end of the strike
In the anthracite region, which affects
145,00O miners. Several powerful in.
fiuences are said to be at work to
bring about this result, and the tip
that the trouble Is about over has
spread through Wall street.
Senator Hanna, chairman of the
Civic federation, and George w. Per-
kins, representing ]. P. Morgan & Co.,
are said to have been in conference in
Cleveland, O., during yesterday dis.
cussing matters relative to the settle
ment of the strike.
Mr.. Hanna refused either to deny or
affirm the report. while at the office
of Morgan & Co. it was learned that
Mr.. Perkins is in Cleveland, but there
was no admission that his visit to Sen
atOr Hanna's home had any connection
with the coal strike.
Commissioner Lederle of the board
of health while discussing the proba-
biity of the continued use of bitumi-
nous or soft coal because of the raise
in price of hard coal caused by the
strike intimated that there would be
little cause for further violations of the
city's ordinance because of high priced
anthracite coal.
The commissioner said he believed
the strike would be ended by Monday.
Asked what prompted his statement,
he said he had good information.
Il got the tip from n man who is
an authority ON the situation" said
Mr.. Lcderle. ut would be ended this
week were it not for the holidays in
Wall street" ~
He refused to discuss the subject
further and would not give the source
of his information.
1t is believed that Senator Hanna
desires to see the strike settled before
it embraces the soft coal region and in
terfercs with his interests there An
other reason for the belief that he de-
sires to see the difficulties ended is
that the operators have practically
ignored his efforts for Cancellation
and arbitration, and he wishes to force
them TO treat with the miners.
