CONSIDERING BELLIGERENTS.
Senate Fails to Solve Problem OF
Furnishing Scrapping Senators.

OSt0PPtuS 0CUdtcISs
Washington, Feb. 26.-The senate
committee on elections not having
reached decision what to do in the
Tillman-McLaurin matter, that body
adjourned without transacting any
business.
The committee on privileges and
elections continued it's consideration
of the Tillman-McLaurin episode
during the afternoon, but reached no
conclusion beyond deciding to refer
the entire matter to a subcommittee
and to meet again on Friday to con-
slider any recommendation made by
the subcommittee.
The afternoon session lasted three
hours and after the democratic mem
bers took their departure at o'clock
the republicans continued sitting.
The meeting of the full committee
was devoted to a general exchange of
views. No vote was taken on any
proposition. Indeed, no proposition
was made either by the majority or
minority. There was an entire agree
ment on the one point that both
South Carolina senators should be
punished, but there was disagree
ment on the details of the punish
ment as well as on the degree of it.
The meeting was marked by the
best of feeling on the part of all the
members and all agreed readily to a
preliminary suggestion of Chairman
Burrows that the question should be
approached from purely non-parti-
san standpoint because of it's general
Importance.
1t was evident, however, that the
democrats were inclined to appre-
bend some effort at political capital
by the republicans and the channel
through which this was manifested
soon became evident when Senator
Foraker made the suggestion that
there should be a severer degree OF
punishment melted out to Senator
Tillman than to Senator McLaurin
This was objected to by the demo
Gratis.
During the morning meeting of the
committee, Senator Bailey notified
the republican members that the
democrats would not submit to the
adoption of a resolution suspendine
the South Carolina senators. He
said that he agreed that they should
be punished for their breach of peace
in the presence of the senate, but he
was satisfied the democrats would
not submit to any proceeding which
would deprive a state of representa-
ton.
Some of the republican members
of the committee replied that they
agreed as to the unwisdom and i'm
practicability of proceeding by wa!
of suspension. While no prospective
statement of policy was made from
the republicans, there was enough
said to lead to the conclusion tina
the proposed resolution for suspen
sion had been abandoned and tina
the punishment suggested will be il
the form of a censure. Indeed, some
of the republican members of tht
committee say this is practically tn
only course open to them. The re
publicans, however, will contend 70
more severe rebuke to Mr.. Tillmal
than shall be adopted for Mr.. Nc
Laurin, and the democrats will Re
sist this discrimination. That i
now the point of greatest difference

to take business from a rival quickly
filled the order. This necessitated
hauling the grain from the elevator
to the cars in wagons. To fill the
wagons, they were driven on to the
railroad track beneath the chutes
where the cars were usually loaded.
The third morning after this work
commenced the manager found a
string of loaded cars along his ele-

HISTORICAL INAccuRAcY.

From the Washington Post
One of the greatest popular errors-and
it hobs up as serenely now as it did ten
years ago, in spite of countless denials
and positive proofs of its spurious char
acter-is that the regeneration Of our
navy, the construction of modern iron
ships to replace antiquated wooden hulks,
was inaugurated by Secretary Whitney,
under the first Cleveland administration.
Hundreds Of newspapers, large and
small have printed that untruth until
they have carefully avoided any mention
of the fact that the credit Of starting and
making good progress with naval recon-
struction belongs to the Arthur admlnis-
tration and, in very large measure. to
William E. Chandler, who was President
Arthurs naval secretary. Such wide pub
licity has been given to the false state
ment, and such care has been taken in
many quarters to ignore or suppress the
truth that there are doubtless millions
of good American citizens who regard
the false as true 1t may be history fifty
years hence.

BULLY FOR BILL

From the Red Bud Gll) Pilgrim.
Who in the world along the line of the
Mobile and Ohio doesn't know "Bill'
Adam was president of the Eden Cen
trail? Owing to some new rangled rule
conductors have to pass an examination
as to eye sight and Bill was dragged up
to see how far he could tell the jack
of clubs from the Queen Of spades. Now
it must be owned that William is not
as young as he used to be, and he was
turned down, whereat all the women,
babies and everybody else along the road
cussed a deep cuss, for Bill Is as popular
as an ice wagon in hades. If Bill was
short circuited who in the world would
ask after the folks? What other con-
ductor in North America knows the
names of all the children ana the num-
Der of everybody's dog tax label? So
Bill goes before the chief surgeon of the
road, the head sawbones at Mobile. The
chief surgeon passed Bill and swore that
Keefe could tell a dollar further than
any conductor on the road Whereat
there was joy along the Mobile" and
the children went ahead with their play,
the women folks breathed sigh of relief,
and the men took another to Bills
health. Bill Keefe has served the road
long and faithfully. He is as good a
man as they can get and a burned sight
better. His record is as clear as a whistle.
Bully for Bill Keefe.

SACRIFICING WEALTH.

Margaret Stowe in New York Journal
1t makes me shudder to see the vast
waste of money on all sides when 1 walk
or drive through any of the large ceme-
teries.
Has 1t ever occurred to you to wonder
at the large amount of money that is
spent yearly by relatives and friends on
tombstones and monuments that are built
to commemorate the virtues of the dead?
Think OF the immense amount OF good
that could be accomplished if the money
used in erecting these vain tributes were
used in wiser and more intelligent way.
A mans character while living depends
upon his thoughts and actions In relation
to not only his friends, but all humanity.
So, In trying to think OF something to
show the world as a proof of his worth.

reaching would be his memory it, instead

some beneficial act were started in his
name.
The best monument that man can
have is some well-continued activity or
institution that may be started so that
it-something that will educate or aid the
living.
That there are many who take this
view of commemoratins the dead is
shown by the many scholarships. small
parks, hospitals and so forth that have
been started with the idea OF helping
others.

individual cases that no one is fortunate
enough to escape.
Death is merely the passage from one
plane Of consciousness to another. 1t does
not mean cessation of life.
Why, then. should stone typify
mans departure from this plane of con-
seriousness to the next?

Sixty-iwo TO Four.

Mr.. Jelks," says the paragrapher
OF the Selma Journal, "seems to have
been somewhat ubiquitous yesterday"
This was a remarkable feature of the
primary. The strength of Governor
Jells was manifest In every part of
the state in about equal degree-in
the piney woods country as we'll as
In the Black Belt--in the mineral dis
trict as well as in the Tennessee val.
ley. The omnipresence of the desire
to sustain the present administration
was indeed a marked feature of the
recent primary, and it goes to show
the homogenity of the people OF this
state, and the safety of direct action
by the rank and file. Both the pri-
mary and the people are indicated.
There was nothing of sectional ma
ture In the contest, but the impulses
of the voting were evenly spread and
evenly acIeu on.
The four exceptional counties serve
but to emphasize this rule. In Gilmore
there was a chicken squabble and a
lynching, and penitentiary is located
there. Possibly a handful of men in
that county who prefer anarchy and
disorder to law and order turned the
scale against Governor Jelks, and then
again the economies introduced by
Governor Jelks in the convict depart
ment and the penitentiary may have
done it. And in Marshall county ex-
Warden Perkins may have brought out
the small majority cast against Gov.
ernor Jelks. What induced the piney
woods people of Crenshaw to cast a
small majority against Governor Jelks
does not appear, nor is 1t known why
Tallapoosa near the Georgia line be
came one of the four exceptional coun.
ties. One hundred and fifty votes
transferred in proper proportion in the
four counties would have handed over
every county to Governor Jelks, and
completely sustained the Journals
charge of ubiquitariness in William
Dorsey Jelks. His strength permeated
the state.

Opposition Votes in November,

Let every populist," says the Co.
lumbiana Peoples Advocate, "sit
steady in the boat; the democrats only
polled about one-fourth of the regis
tered votes of the county. There are
more than 1900 straight populists who
have never bowed the knee to Baal."
So far as Colonel Baal is concerned
we have not word to say. Nor need
we stop to inquire whether the colonel
was Johnston man or Jelks man.
He stands in fact in the mind of the
Advocate for all who have the temer-
ity, the hardihood, the wickedness, to
oppose populism.
Be that, however, as it may, 1t is
plain that the populists did not vote
at the recent primary, but that they
propose to get in line against the
democratic nominees in the November
election. So do the republicans, and
we are thus to have three entries for
each place on the state ticket, and
things are to be somewhat lively in
November. There will be enough do
ing at any rate to call for a good
sized democratic vote in all counties
Chiffon is to be contested, and the
Advocate promises to poll there 1900
populists. 1t may not be able to de-
liver the goods, but no doubt it rep.
resents enough voters to give the
county real contest at the polls in
November. In Jefferson the republi-
cans say they will make great show
ing, and in fully half of the counties
of the state there will be enough OPP
position to keep the democracy awake
and alert.

RESULT OF WAR GAME.

From the New York Times.
The crushing defeat OF Commodore
Pilisbury's white squadron proves that
our coasts are safe against the attack Of
a ten-knot enemy, provided the ocean will
by opportune tumults.
That must be the popular reading of the
lesson of the war game. If professionally
or technically 1t has any other lesson. we
should like to know what It is. Commo-
dore Pillsbury tried to get past Admiral
Higginson's defense squadron and make
some point on the coast with a feet that
could not exceed ten knots and keen to-
gether. He failed and was captured. Any
enemy-a real enemy-who should head a
ten-knot squadron against the coasts Of
this land of liberty would almost certain
ly be captured or destroyed. He would
richly deserve his fate. But war is not a.
game, and II we should ever get into an
other war the enemy, confound him.
might be mean enough to send eighteen
knot warships against us. So let us not
exult unduly or be inspired with a false
sense of security by the inconclusive les
son of this little game.
Inasmuch as some nations OF the earth
have navies much superior 20 our own, 1t
would seem to be true that war game
in which the attacking squadron was
considerably superior to the squadron of
defense would more nearly approach the
conditions that might arise in actual
practice. Why not play the game that
way 1ext time?

102. s69,92s acres devoted to corn this
year. or about four times the acreage
of cotton, and these acres will, barring
frosts. produce 1859 ,951. 900 bushels
of corn. Such a crop would be more
than was ever grown In a single year
in the entire world. Some of this corn
is already harvested, and all of it will
be out Of harms way by September
10. In some of the corn states the
ears are twelve inches long on stalks
fifteen feet high, SO favorable has the
season been for corn growing. Illinois
Is the chief corn state, followed closely
by Kansas, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri
and Nebraska. All of these states will
have immense surplus products.
No year has approached the present
one in the yield of corn except 1886,
when the crop was 2,285, O0O, 900 bush
els. The average corn crop is worth
about s75O,00O.OoO and the exports
run from s175,O0O.00O to 100000 900
annually Three million of the five
million farms in this country produce
corn, and big crop of it means a
well-diffused prosperity, and cheaper
bread and meats for all. The average
price of corn to the farmer in the
central west in the last ten years has
been rs cents a bushel. In Kansas
corn went this year to 90 cents. 1t
will fall after the new crop is gath
cred to 20 cents. and it may down even
to the fuel point, but such crop as
is now in sight means activity in trade
and abundant supplies. The coming
year is therefore to be one of piping
times and bright days.

A Shipping Record.

1.-THE Galveston, Houston and Hender-
son has made another record, and ia
Galveston railroad and shipping circles
the transaction is considered something
worth talking about said Galveston
man at the Metropolitan.
"A shipment of cotton consigned to
Bremen and booked to go through on the
Mallory steamer Sabine, due to sail at
80 p M, had not left Houston. 1t was
necessary to get the cotton aboard the
Sabine in order to make the connection
with the ocean liner for Bremen out of
New York.
1.-THE Galveston, Houston and Hender-
son has its own telephone system on its
line, the only railroad in Texas having
this Improvement and it served to great
advantage in insuring the success of the
undertaking.
1.-THE cotton was loaded at Houston and
started from that city at 1880 a. III. In
exactly one hour, or at II 80, the cotton was
in Galveston, and by 1901 p. m. had been
delivered at the Mallory docks the road
engine taking the shipment direct to the
wharf. All papers had been arranged by
telephone, while the cotton was speeding
outward"

Summer Dizziness.

Industrial activity has been greater
than usual this month and the September
pay rolls win be record breakers, I am
told. but the real estate business has
been extremely dull for several weeks
past" said a prominent real estate agent.
This dullness is accounted for to some
extent by the large number of people who
are away on their vacations. But the
chief cause of quiet in the real estate line
is the hot weather. It has been too hot
that were pressing
The real estate market was never in a
healthier condition than 1t is now and
