Complications are arising which
threaten to defeat the movement in this

special from jackson says: THE point
has been raised that partial repeal @,
the valued policy clause OF the Missis.
sippi insurance laws, as proposed bv
the business mems convention recently
held IN this city, would be uncopstitu.
tional, and tits expected to have con.
siderable weight in influencing Gov
Longino in determining whether or mt
special session shall; be called The
specific objection to partial repeal ia
that 1t would be in the nature OF class
legislation, and, therefore, violative OF
the State constitution. For instance il
Is now impossible to secure the blanket
policy on lumber in yards, and tn,
lumber manufacturers of South Mi.sis.
sippi, although they have protested
stoutly against the discrimination al,
not have their interests considered at tn
recent convention.

with emotion" and denounce on the floor
of an august senate as "a wiliul and de-
liherate lie" a charge which has been
made against him so often on the free
forum of his own state and amorg
somewhat puguacious populace without
his receiving it in any such manner. The
second is why Senator Tillman should
develop a "tigerlike ferocity' in the sem
ate at being called a liar when in time
past he has repeatedly accepted that
epithet on the South Carolina stump
with the gentle meekness OF lamb or
the lofty, serene repose OF a statesman.
Surely Senator McLaurin knows that
his colleague has repeatedly charged him
in South Carolina with selling out to the
Republican party for the federal patron
age-yet he now treats that charge as II
it were new and sudden atttont to be
resented instantly, even to the destruc,
ton OF the gnity Of the senate. And
surely Senator Tillman remembers-to
tempt his memory no iucther-that when
he was from twelve to fourteen years
Younger and when the blood ran more
hotly in his veins he failed to jump with
the ferocity of tiger on the two news,
paper men who to his face called him
liar-one at Blackville in 1888 and the
other at Marion in 1890 What is there
in the atmosphere of the United States
Senate that inspires our senator's to
sensitiveness and an aggresslveness not
natural to them at home?
We prefer not to consider the affair too
seriously. 1t were better treated with
light irony as natural consequence OF
our political dtcadeDce. To make com
parsons between South Cardinals pres
ent representation in the senate and
what it was in the days Of Calhoun and
Hayne would be too painIul-and per
haps it would be without profit. We
must take our successful politicians as
we find them and not mourn too greatly
over the departed forensic glories OF our
state.
Yet, as outsiders will look to the South
Carolina press for the sober expression
Of opinion on this unseemly and untlmely
squabble, we are constrained to declare
our regret that Senators Tillman and
McLaurin did not carry out their agree
ment OF last summer to resign their seats
and appeal to the people of South Caro-
lima for vindlcation. And we think we
can say for the white voters of the state
without regard to faction that they
would be glad to have an opportunity
now afforded them to vote on the fitness
of Benjamin r. Tillman and John l..
McLaurin to represent them in the SEN
ate of the United States.

AstroIogy and Administrations.

Under the general head of Remarkable
Predictions" the Pasadena (Cal.) Star
some time ago contained an article cali
ing attention to the predictions OF an
astrologer one Julius Erickson, as to sew
eral of our presidents, and the complete
manner in which his foretelling has been
fulfilled. Erickson cast the horoscope
of President Cleveland and predicted
his election as we'll as his retirement
from office with practically no party
behind him. The election of Mckinley
was also predicted, and the calamity
which should befall during his admins
tratou. Here is the interesting predic-
ton bearing on Roosevelt's assumption
of office in September last
Saturn is chief ruler, with Uranus,
co ruler. However, | will make most of
my deductions from Saturn, as he is
doubtless ruler According to the rules
of the ancient astrologers, this signifies
that many alterations, amendments and
changes in the laws, customs, policies,
treaties religions, etc, OF the land shall
occur. Our enemies will be confounded
and the matchless irresistible march OF
American supremacy will meet most
wonderful impetus. Vast political prob
lens, the like of which we do not dream
of today, will present themselves for So
luton during his occupancy OF the White
House. He will prove himself most
consummate statesman, clever politician
and wise ruler.
at IS remarkable that the great con-
junction of Saturn and Jupiter in Novem.
Der of this wear, will occur i'll Capri
cornus, which is the ascendant of this
! horoscope. This denotes tnat new
epoch so TO speak, will be ushered in in
1902, In these changes the president
will prove a remarkable figure, for he
will be victorious in most things"
when congress assemblies we shall be
treated to many remarkable surprises in
the political policies of our land, and
some of the late presidents policies,
which Mr.. Roosevelt solemnly declared
he would continue, will meet death in
the house OF his friends The campaign
of 1904 will reveal the beginning OF the
end OF the democratic party as now con
stituted, aud as the republican party
arose. Phenix-like, from the ashes of the
old Wing party under the reconstructive
influence of Uranus, the planet which
always signifies remarkable events of a
revolutionary order, so will the demo
cratic party date it's final rehabilitation
from the crushing defeat which will be
admins cred to it in the election of Mr.
Roosevelt in 1904, by an unprecedented
majority"
