THE plea of Senator James K. Jones
to the effect that in matter like the
selection of the isthmian canal route.
senators should be guided by their in
dividual Judgment as to what is really
best, rather than by partizan consid-
erations, is very good: but 1t does not
sound we'll as coming from Senator
Jones. When we recall the fact that
Senator Jones, as chairman OF the
Democratic caucus, and of the Demo-
cratic party, allowed himself to be used
to drive Senator McLaurin out of the
party on this very pretext, it does not
seem that Senator Jones is at liberty to
defend his own acts by the same argu-
ment that was at that very time being
advanced by Senator McLaurin. AS
between the two routes we confess we
do not know which is best. 1t Is not
only possible. but quite probable, that
Panama has advantages over Nicara-
qua: but how Jones, who has all along
been preaching allegiance to the party
above allegiance to the country, can go
back on his associates, under the cir
cumstances, is proposition that seems
to be beyond comprehension on any
other basis than that assigned by some
OF his colleagues-that he has yielded
to the persuasions of Senator Hanna
and betrayed his party.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1902-06-25

Under the circumstances do not see
how it can be claimed that the express
sion of the Democratic platform makes
it incumbent upon anybody to vote for
the Nicaragua route against his better
judgment. When that platform was
made the only route under consider
alton was that through Nicaragua.
Since then conditions have materially
changed. The Panama route has been
placed upon the same plane, as far as
availability Is concerned, as the Mica
ragua route. AS I see it, the Panama
route has distinct advantages. I am
convinced that there will be canal
bill at this session of congress, and that
the duty of individual members of the
senate is to choose between the two
routes on their merits. To my mind the
advantages of the Panama route are
unuuestioned." Senator Jones's action
is generally condemned by the Demo-
Ecrats as a betrayal Of the party, says a
Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald. His action is practical de-
sertion of his party, Of which he is ma
tional chairman. Just how Senator
Hanna won over Senator Jones will
probably never be known. His deser-
ton astounded the other Democratic
senators and many Republicans were
heard tonight to speak contemptuously
Of Senator Jones.

CURIOUS to know the nature and ex-
tent of Winthrop's departure from
original dress regulations as Senator
Tillman is reported to have alleged,
THE ENQUIRER has made it point to
investigate the matter Several people
were questioned on the subject, without
the development of the desired infor-
nation and the testimony Of student
was like this: II do not know of any
departure from original dress regula-
tions. On the contrary think the reg
ulations are as strict as they have ever
been. Of course, there is disposition
on the part of some of the girls to wear
prescribed articles; but they are in
variably corrected so soon as the mat
ter comes to the attention of the ma
tron. On commencement Sunday, one
of the graduates presented herself in
the line that was forming for chapel,
wearing a red ribbon. The matron Or
dered her return to her room and re-
move it. She did not like to go: but
she did go. No: l do not think there
is any laXity in the enforcement of the
regulation on this subject" We must
confess that we consider the point
raised by Senator Tillman to be very
important, if founded on fact; but since
the point was evidently not founded

Heard. THOUGHT AND SEEN.

~ The Lockhart band which until a
few months ago was one Of the best
musical organization in the state, Is
now badly disorganized. So Prof. R. j.
Herndon advised the reporter a few
days ago. The trouble is the same that
Is so characteristic Of such organiza-
tions in cotton mill towns. One by one
different leading members have moved
to other mills, and the efficiency of the
band has been seriously impaired.
There are still a number Of enthusias-
tic musicians at Lockhart, however,
who are loath to see the band pass out
of existence, and 1t Is hoped that they
will be able to save it yet.
III The ease with which some people
can be swindled Is comparable only to
the difficulty Of making them realize
their position even after being con-
fronted with the facts. A case in point
was cited by ]. S. Brice, ESQ.,, a few
days ago. Said Mr.. Brice: "One OF
John G. Neely's victims came into my
office with a postal card notifying him
of an assessment that was alleged to
be due on the death benefit Of one F.
M. Smith, and wanted my advice as
to whether he should pay 1t. I told
him that 1t would just be like throwing
his money away. But, If I don't pay,
the man replied, I'll forfeit my rights
under the policy L told him that he
was correct If he had any rights to
forfeit, and his reply was, We'll, I'll
not be in hurry about it. I've got un-
til the 26th anyhow"

HOW COL. AMOS WAS BUNCOED.

The following from the Charlotte
Observer of last Saturday, will be read
with sympathetic interest by the ac-
ouaintances of Colonel Amos Owens:
Colonel Amos Owen walked into the
office of Squire D. G. Maxwell yester-
day and lodged a complaint against 8.
B. Pearson, of Morganton, who Is bet
ter known as "Silver Creek Sam" Col
onel Owens recital of woe admitted. In
effect, that he had been buncoed out
of $50.
1t Is strange that two such we'll
known characters as Colonel owen and
"Silver Creek Sam" had never met be-
fore the 18th day of June, 1902. In their
respective bailiwicks both have long
been famous. Colonel Owen-kuklux,
owner Of Cherry mountain. breeder of
black heart and red heart cherries; In
venter of cherry bounce; distiller OF
rare. ripe corn, unblessed by clergy or
law, dispenser Of quaint folk lore;
wearer of rarer and quainter beaver,
with fur so ruff1ed-Colonel Owen ia
nous man of fine parts And "Silver
Creek SAM" big-hearted fellow who
killed his man in his youth; who con-
fronted many judges on many charges,
and won clemency by certain likable-
ness: who became shrewd as a lawyer
and stayed behind no bars-Sam, too,
has his place in the hall Of fame.
Yet 1t is true that the two gentlemen
met as strangers In front Of the post
office on the morning of the 11th In
slant. He said his name was s. X.
Pearson and asked me to take drink
said Col. Owen, "and accepted his Of
fer. On the way to the bar he said ne
had left all his small change In his
other pants, and told him would pay
for the drinks. When pulled out some
bills to pay for the drinks, Pearson
said:
"'Ill declare, the banks are not open
yet, and I am needing just $50. Sup
pose you let me have that amount, and
I will return it to you as soon as the
banks open. Here 1 will give you
due bill so as you will be perfectly
safe.'" And then "Silver Creek Sam"
wrote a due bill for $50 on brown
piece of paper, which he handed to the
colonel with bow. The colonel forked

on facts, it is hardly worth mentioning
again. Perhaps Senator Tillman was
misquoted in connection with the mat

Ex-PREsIDENr Cleveland delivered a
speech at the dedication Of the New
Tilden club headquarters in New York
city, last Thursday night that has been
the all-absorbing political topic Of the
week. Both Cleveland and David B.
Hill were among the speakers. VIM. j.
Bryan had also been invited to be pres
ent; but he had not been asked to
speak, and he paid no attention to the
invitation. Cleveland and Hill have
heretofore been unfriendly, and when
they greeted each other in a cordial
hand-shake there was enthusiastic ap-
plause. The burden Of Mr.. CleVeland's s
speech was "get together" He referred
to the fact that formerly it was common
to see Democratic senators and Demo
cratic governors from northern states;
but now this is rare, and 1t will con-
tinue rare so long as there is such
diversity of view between the northern
and southern Democrats. He advised
the complete Abandonment of the free
silver issue; but had nothing to say on
the question Of 'imperialiSm.' sc
called. Regarding himself he said:
my days Of political activity are past
and I shall not hereafter assume to
participate in party councils. I am
absolutely content with retirement, but
still have one burning, anxious poll
tical aspiration. I want to see before
die the restoration to perfect health and
supremacy Of that Democracy whose
mission it is to bless the people-a
Democracy true to itself, untempted by
clamor, unmoved by the gusts Of pop
ular passion and uncorrupted by offers
Of strange alliance-the Democracy OF
patriotism-the Democracy Of safety
the Democracy of Tilden, and the Dem
ocracy that deserves and wins success v
Mr. Cleveland's speech is being very
much discussed; but few southern
Democratic senators are inclined tc
consider it in friendly light. Most OF
them consider Mr.. Cleveland respon-
sible for the disruption of the party
and hold that it was his duty to go tc
the majority when his help was needed
that his persistent insistence that the
majority come back to him is in bad
taste.

WHILE there Is more or less COM
plant because of the general apathy
with regard to the state campaign now
in progress, the complaint is more un-
reasonable than the apathy. Under
the circumstances this apathy is per-
fectly natural. It takes issues to df-
vide the people-not men. Sometimes
the personality Of n man Is emphatic
enough to make an issue: but not Of
ten, and it is seldom that two or more
such men are before the people at one
and the same time. With regard to the
question of issues in South Carolina,
the situation is simply preposterous'
Of course the people feel and realize,
notwithstanding the professions Of the
candidates, that they do not all repre-
sent the same thing; that all do not be-
lieve what they claim to believe; but
this only goes to make matters worse.
It excites contempt and disgust. II
there was q well-defned issue under
consideration, the people would take
pleasure and interest in adjudicat-
ing the matter; but they are not going
to allow themselves to be excited over
the mere question as to which candi-
dates are to draw salaries from the
public treasury. Of course If there
were among the candidates one or more
individuals who had some special claim
for public preferment-who had rem
dered some distinguished service to his
people-their claims would receive due
consideration. But in this case where
no single candidate can put forward
any good reason for his preferment
over some fifty thousand other good
men, no one of whom is asking any ia
vors at the hands of his fellow citizens,
1t would be strange indeed If the peo-
pie should allow themselves to be un-
duly excited. This condition Of affairs,
however, cannot last always. The peo-
pie are not Poing to continue to sub
NIT to such restraints as have been i'm
posed upon them for the benefit of
mediocre politicians. The politicians
see the end coming, and in alarm they
are suggesting the substitution of the
convention plan Of nomination for the
primary plan. This suggestion, as
coming from the politicians, Is perfectly
natural. 1t will take this little matter
OF filling the offices out Of the hands OF
the voters and put it within the con-
troll Of politicians, and then the poll
ticians think they will be happy. but
they won't. When the politicians sub
stitute the convention for the primary
really able men will raise issues and
submit them to the general election
This will not be the worst thing that
could happen; but If our political lead
ers are wise they will forestall such a
development by consenting for the dis
cussion of issues in the primary.
