AYCOCK FOR VICE-PRESIDENT

The death of Hon. Peter j. Otey, mem
early yet to nominate Southern man
for President" 1t ought not to be 80.
Everybody knows that no man who
served in the Confederate army would
be eligible as candidate because too
many voters in the North are as yet
unreconstrueted, but why is not a
Southern man who was too young 10
take part in the war an available can
didate? Is he to share the inherited
hostility?
The Columbia State, discussing Presi-
Dental timber, suggests Governor Ay-
cock as fit timber for VicePresident.
We quote:
congressman Champ Clark and
Cochran. of Missouri, it seems, have UNI
dertaken to start a Presidential loom
for Senator Bailey, of Texas. 1t would
appear that Mr.. Bailey's place is il the
Senate, for the duties of which he is
peculiarly fitted. But at any rate 1T is
get too early to nominate Southern
man for President. The prevailing opin-
ion IS that the nominee Of the Demo
Gratis III 1904 should come from strong,
doubtful State-New York, if possible.
Mr. Hill is perhaps endeavoring TO make
the most OF this belief but MIR. I'LL is
nos the man. Judge Parker or Edward
N. Shepard is nearer the mar-. With
nIar like Shepard for Pres;dent-d
Northern man of conspicuous ability and
hi,h character, attractive % iacepcnd-
ents as well as party men-the Demo-
Gratis would naturally go to the west to
fill the second place on the ticket.
Should there be a desire to select the
Vice Presidential candidate from the
South, however, we know of no other
man in all this section so pre-emincnt-
ly qualified both for the nomination and
for the office as Charles B. Aycock, the
Governor of oNrth Carolina. He is a
man of force, intelligence, character and
ability; a leader whose wisdom and re-
source have been demonstrated. As Il
stump speaker he can hold his own with
the best. Keep him in mind in all vour
calculations as to future politics"
This tribute from the State will
crafty all North Carolinions who be-
lieve that higher honors are in store
for the eloquent Educational Governor
of this State

McLAURlN GOES OUT.

After suffering defeat in his own coun-
ty, Senator McLauTin has issued q two
column proclamation denouncing the pri-
mary law and declaring that he would
not permit his name to go before it. He
will appeal to all parties in the general
election, he SAYS. The open withdrawal
o. McLaurin from the Democracy IS re
freshing. Sailing under his true colors
to receive the votes of Republicans. He
will neither expect nor receive the votes
OF others.

streets, that he might be able as an eye
witness to inform his master that no
such conquest had been made since the
destruction of Troy and Jerusalem. Nor
was this an exaggeration, whether we
consider the greatness, Importance, and
prosperity of the city razed, or the fury
of its ravagers.'
Many excuses have been made for this
butchery. 1t is said that it was not or
dered that many of the soldiers were
half barbarians, that it was a cruel age,
that the war was a bitter religious one,
and that the position of Tilly and Pap
penheim was one of great danger because
the victorious army of Gustavus Adolf
pirus was within three days march of
them when the attack on the city was
made. They had to capture the city or
be destroyed by the Swedes. But with all
the excuses made it remains the blacklist
page in European history and it has
made the names of Tilly and Pappen
helm infamous for all ages.
The next worst piece of brutality was
the massacre of Glencoe in 1892. William
of Orange directed the Master of Stair
ito eXtirpate the band of robbers, "
meaning the tribe of McDonalds. The
Master of Stair was stern. morose
man, probably insane, as insanity was
hereditary in his family. He construed
chic nd nj SnldiarS
among the McDonalds and on a given
day began a massacre of them, old and
young, without regard to sex; but the
soldiers revolted at their task and, per-
haps, not many more than one hundred
were slain, the remainder escaped and
were not thereafter punished. This act
cast a shadow upon the reputation of
William of Orange and sullied an other
wise glorious reign.
We must now jump two hun
dred years to find a fit companion
to these examples of atrocity.
We. leave the 18th century and go to the
goth. We find that, without any mill
tary necessity, without any justification
or excuse. without being able to put up
plea of insanity, or any extenuation
whatever, an order is given by an
American general to devastate the
Island of Samar, make it a bowling
wilderness, burn and destroy every
habitation, take no prisoners, Stay every
body from ten years old up" This is
the order which the administration is now
compelled to admit was issued by Cen
eral Smith, and was, partially, at least,
carried into effect. Major Waller was
tried for executing natives without trial,
for torturing them; for impressing guides
into his service, using them to guide his
troops across the island and when the
journey was over having his guides
shot. This is a crime against the en-
lightenment of the age and against
Christian civilization. 1t is the foulest
blot on American history, but it is the
first Sfruit of Imperialism and of a mill
tary despotism beyond the ocean.

MISSISSIPPI PENSIONS.

In the South we are finding the same
condition Of things with regard to veterans
that exists in the North; that is, they are
all growing old, and many who scorned
assistance years ago are now eager for and
must have it. A dispatch from Jackson,
Miss, says:
1.-The Pension Clerk at the office Of the
State Pension Commissioner reports that
every County that has made requisition
for blanks so far this year has asked for
a larger number than ever before, so that
the prospect is that there will be an in
crease of about 25 per cent. in the number
of pensioners this year. This increase can
be attributed to but one cause. The last
Legislature provided for the selection OF
Pension Boards in each County. These
Boards were to be composed of Confeder.
ate veterans, and it must be that the
Boards have not been able to find it in
their hearts to refuse the demand made
by any old soldier of the lost cause for the
pittance the State grants him. A few
years ago, when the pension system was
first inaugurated in this State, the appro
priation was only $4,000 per annum, and
it was with the greatest difficulty the vet
Grams were induced to apply for pension
They have gotten gloriously over that
however, and now, in spite of the fact thai
the appropriation has been increased te
FIVE times the original sum, the pittanct
received by each is smaller than for the
6rst year."
The National tribune., 1902-09-11

Mr.. WADLIN, Chief Of the Massachu-
sets Bureau Of Statistics, has found out
that the families in the State which have
an annual income OF $3.50 or less generally
manage to live within their incomes and
save something, while those who have an
average income OF $500 average an ex-
penditure Of $555; while those who get
SG67 year spend $3.50. The explanation
OF this-assuming it to be true-would
seem to be that when a man is working at
a days work Of physical labor he knows
that his $40 week or less Is all The
money he can get, and that he must
make do" on that. When he gets q
degree above physical labor, he and bis
family begin to have social aspirations
They want TO dress up to their neighbors
and to live like them. Then he is apt to
think that in some way he is going to
make money outside OF his regular pay
and he is usually disappointed. When
Mr.. Wsdlin gets to the class having an
Income Of 81 800 year, he finds that the
habit Of saving again becomes dominant
and their average expenditure is only
81 1,253. The explanation Of this probably
Is that the class is largely made up OF
hlgher-grade clerks. superintendcnts, fore
men, etc, who are careful. thrifty per-
sons, as their parents were before them,
and habituated to make both ends meet,
with something over.
The National tribune., 1902-09-11

The world certainly moves, even in Vir-
GINA, though there seems at times reason
to doubt it. The citizens of the venerable
city of Lexington for the past two cen
turies or more have beer pasturing their
COWS in the streets, though this practice,
for esthetic and other reasons, largely con-
nected with the garden industry, has been
frowned upon in every village of 300 OF
more north OF Mason & Dixon's line,
Probably there is no beast of prey that
has been the cause of SO many sins of
violent language as the COW which pas
lures in the streets. She has an uncon-
trollable appetite for the choicest flowers
in the front yards, and the finest vege-
tables in the garden, and the best-con-
structed fence is no more Of a bar to her
deer-like limbs than furrow in the field
She delights to jump fence which any
expert fence viewer would pronounce "bull
strong, horse high, and hog tight" If the
Recording Angel wastes his time in set
made who have rushed out in their night,
clothes to rescue their flowers and vege.
tables from the town COW, he must have
an annex to his bureau in heaven for the
recording OF these, and the paper must be
asbestos. Something has happened in Lex.
ington to cause the City Council to pro.
hibit the streets being used hereafter to
furnish sustenance for the family COW, and
the owners Of the same are up in arms
and threaten rebellion. But this action OF
the moss-grown town shows progress, and
probably in the course of the next cen
tury they will light their streets and pui
sidewalks down.

We have a right to support ourselves on

THERE is warm fight going on in Kan
sas over the Senatorship. OF the various
candidates there are but two in whom
the veterans are deeply interested. One
of these is Hon. Chas. Curtis, Of Topeka,
who is now serving his fifth term in Con-
gress from the First District. He is a
son of veteran, and has always been
warm and outspoken advocate of veterans
rights. He has been one of the few men
in Congress who could always be relied on
in this respect, and did more than any
other one man in Congress to secure
Eyans's removal by the letter which he
wrote TO. President Roosevelt, reciting the
promises made to the veterans by Presi-
dent Mckinley, and giving other good rea-
sons for Eyans's removal. The other is
Hon. w. A. Calderhead, who is now serv-
ing. his third term in Congress from the
Fifth District. He is veteran Of the
12Gth Ohio, and is regarded as one Of the
ablest men in Congress. He is strong
man Oh the Committees on Banking and
Currency and Invalid Pensions. He was
actively opposed to Evans, and did all that
he could to secure his removal. He is an
eloquent, convincing speaker, and either
he or Curtis would make a Senator Of
whom Kansas could be proud.

ers in the army, was prisoner Of war six
months, and is in every way deserving.

the music that the veterans love best to

in escorting the old Generals and other
