THE BOY BABY'S CHANCE.

The Indianapolis Sentinel has been
doing some figuring in averages on the
baby boys chances in life. 1t says that
the chances are 10000. 600 to l that he
will not become president Of the United
States or vice president or chief justice
of the supreme court. Yet it holds true
that any baby boy may reach either of
these places-that il to say. there is 4
possibility until the phenomena of his
development surely court him out The
chances are i10. 900 TO / that he will not
be Il United States senator, 103,3 $50 to l
that he will not be a member of the
house of representatives, and 100000 TO
! that he will never be governor of a
state. All these figures are subject of
course. to certain special circum-
stances, possible VI otherwise. One
may presume that an Ohio boys
chance of becoming president is much
better than the chance OF a Delaware
or Rhode Island boy. if he stays at
home. The chances are 5SS to I that he
will not be insane. 1850 to l that he
will not be blind. S46 to i that he Will
not be an inmate of q public aims
house, 200 to / that he will never be an
enlisted soldier or sailor, 1.20G to l that
he will never be a city policeman, and

dent of Il national bank.

UP the study of men. Just in passing
it might be added he thumbed those
books in many institutions. among
them Swarthmore, the Military insti-
tute of South Carolina, the Virginia
Military institute and the University of
Virginia. He tried them al. and they
tried him, and pronounced judgment as
well-at least gossip says so.
While McLaurin pranced gaily
through his school days TillInan was
making himself. that is. paying his
own bills at college and working hard
to do it. BY the time ldcLaurin had
reached the legislature Tlllman had
worked himself into the candidacy Tor
nomination as governor. t was in this
campaign, in the fall of 1896, that the
two men first became associated in pol
itics, Tillman being on the ticket as
candidate for governor and McLauT'in
as candidate for the legislature. On
the opposition ticket TO Tillman in this
campaign was a candidate named Yo
man. who worked like the proVerbial
seven devils for Tillman's defeat. He
employed Tillman's own rough and
tumble tactics in his political cam
paign, and in vituperation exceeded
Tillman himself. Some of Tillman's
friends advised him to pull out of the
fight rather than suffer defeat, but
others, among whom was McLaurin.
bolstered up the waning courage of
Tillman and made such a vigorous
campaign that he was selected by a
large vote. Tillman's place in politics
always has been won by hard work.
McLaurin has had good luck to favor
him. When in the legislature less than
a year the attorney general of the
state was appointed to the bench and
McLaurin was appointed to succeed
him. This position was the stepping
stone to the lower house of congress,
and good luck again favoring aim, he
was appointed United States senator in
1897 to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Earle.
The friction between McLaurin and
Tillman dates back to 1894, When Nc
Laurin was in the house and Tillman
in the senate. The break occurred dur
ing a caucus of the South Carolina
democrats in Washington. McLaurin.
wearied by Tillman's abrupt, drastic
methods, characterized him as De
structive genius, without whose med
icine the state would be better off, for
the old lady needed a rest" Since that
time there has been a quarrel of ever
increasing animosity between the two
men. McLaurin has made harsh accu-
sations against his colleague. but they
have been open, never hidden in innu-
endo. He has not met with the same
treatment from Tillman. otherwise the
fight in the senate chamber would not
have occurred.
There is some idle talk that the con-
clusion of the fight between the two
men will be on the duelling field or in a
personal encounter in which deadly
weapons will be used. Whatever may
occur it is certain that neither will be
found wanting in courage.

THE OLD FIGHT
IN CAROLINA
Events Which Led Up to the
Senate Mixup
1t Began Almost as Soon as the Junior
Senator Got Out of School The
Steady Growth of the Quarrel Up
to the Present Time.

Washington, D. G. Feb 24-(Special
correspondence of The Republican,
1t took d western man to break the
hold with which Senators McLaurin
and Tillman clinched i'll their memoir
able fight in the senate Saturday SEN
ator Warren of Wyoming sits directly
across the aisle from Tillman. He is a
man of powerful build. over six feet
tall. and strong as a Wyoming steer.
With true western instinct he sprang
into the thick of the fight and threw
one muscular arm around Tillman's
body and the other around his neck.
Tillman is no pigmy and he struggled
violently to loosen Warren's hold, but
Warren lifted him as if he were a child
and literally carried nm BACK 20 his
seat. This ended the first and last
round of this senatorial prize fight.
Speaking of Tillman and McLaurin,
while Tillman is the better known of
the two, both have had an exciting
and interesting career. Henry Savage
or Archibald Clavering Gunter would
find it difficult to devise :: romantic
plot so intricate as the scheme of po-
litical drama which lies behind the
Tillman-McLaurin controversy. In
South Carolina there is only one politi-
cal party, but to make up for a repub
lican opposition there are democrats
and democrats, and each of the South
Carolina senators has a faction all his
own. Tillman prides himself on being
man of the people, 4 son of the soil.
In his campaign for the governorship
he curried favor with the farmers by
sowing corn in his front yard, and
nothing has given him more pleasure in
his senatorial career than having had
fastened upon him the designation,
"Pitchfork Tillman."
McLaurin is, of course, for the peo-
pie, too, but preferably for his own
class. He is the representative of the
aristocratic faction o. the democratic
party in South Carolina, anxious to
break away from the control of leaders
such as Tillman, willing, in fact. to
leave the democratic party if domi-
mated by Tillamn, though perhaps not
prepared to become republican. Nc

CONSIDERING THE TAILINGS.
y General Committee Meeting Held at

There was a meeting at Pima last

make an investigation to find out
whether or not the tailings coming
from the Concentrators at Clifton and
Morenci into the river We're injurious
to the growth of crops in this valley,
says the Bulletin.
There was a good attendance of the
committee and general discussion
was engaged in as to results of prob
able remedies. The discussion brought
forth nothing but the most friendly
and kindly expressions concerning the
mining companies and it was agreed
that no action should be taken that
could be construed into a desire to I'M
necessarily embarrass the mining in
dustry of the east end of the county.
The sole purpose of the committee. it
was agreed, was to cause thorough
investigation of the effect OF the tall
ings in the river water on growing veg

from Prof. +. H. Forbes of the Arizona
agricultural experiment station in
which the professor reiterated that af-
ter two tests of the water he was con-
