Charleston Exposition a Success.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The Charleston News and Courier is by no means Respondent over the lack of popular success met by the recent Expo- sition. The editor points out that 1t re- suited in great increase of business, adding between 8, GOO GOO and $5 000 900 to the money in circulation there, filled va cant houses with tenants and hotels and boarding houses with more transient guests than they had ever had before employed large numbers of people and interested hundreds of thousands in Charleston and the South by bringing the President, the Governors of fourteen States and the diplomatic representatives Of foreign governments to the city dur ing the six months of the Exposition. Measured by the results thus obtained, The News and Courier resents any inti- nation that the big show was failure.
 Another advantage. and perhaps a still come to Charleston and the people of South Carolina. It is the benefit that al- ways results from having accomplished a worthy work. No one can measure the develonment of public spirit and the broadening of view that came from such q praisewoc .hy undertaking That he Exposition called attention to the beau ties and advantages of Charleston and the South Is true and there ought to be material profit from that but this is nothing compared to the demonstration hv the citizens of Charleston that they are just as enterprising and puhlic-snirita ad as the residents of Chicago, St Louis States. Everybody who knew them knew that this was so before the Exposition but the North and East did not know or did not think so at any Tate. They do know it Eow, for they have been remind ed of it,

WHY SHOULD wE ENrHusEr

The Minneapolis Journal notes with some apparent surprise that very little interest seems to be felt in this country over the presentation by the Emperor of Germany of a statute of Frederick the Great, which has been accepted by Presi- dent Roosevelt on the part of the United States. In truth. about the only enthu- siasm we have heard of was exhibited by the President himself in his cable gram accepting the statue.
 Coming down to brass tacks, why should our people enthuse over Fred? What's Hecuba to him or he to Hecu- ba," anyhow? Frederick was a great soldier, beyond a doubt, but he was a military despot of the most uncomprom- ising nature. who ruled his soldiers and subjects with a rod of iron. There was nothing in common between his govern ment and that for which Washington was fighting. There could have been no community of feeling between one of the most absolute military despots of the eighteenth century and the patriot who was fighting for a Republican form of government. If there was anything in common between them it was because each fought for the independence of his country. but Washington fought for the Independence of the people and Frederick for his own absolute right to rule.
 There is little historical evidence that Frederick at heart sympathized with US in our struggle for independence. If he really had any such feeling it went no further than words. When we were at our worst straits he was in position to have aided us, as France did, in a sub stantial and effective manner. but he did nothing of the kind. That the American people should enthuse over the presenta- tion of the Rochambaau statue and re- main indifferent about the other is not surprising. France helped us with men and money. and Rochambeau was one of the factors. in our final success. Fred,r- ick was a great man but he did nothing that calls for any enthusiasm in this country.

True Democrats Gan Agree.

Chicago Chronicle
 What happened at the opening of the new quarters of the Tilden Club in New York Thursday night demonstrates that it is not difficult for Democrats who are Democrats to get together on platform bread and general enough to accommo- date them, yet specific enough as to the living issues of the hour to meet the pub lie needs. ,, nrc Democrats Whatever else may be said of them, they are undeniably Demo- crats. As to matters not essential they have not always been in harmony. In decd. their disagreements have at times been acute Yet they find no difficulty in agreeing upon such principles-the prin- cinles of true Democracy-as are sug- gested by the name or samuel J.

 Tilden believed in lawful Kberty and in tie right of the individual to pursue hap piness In his own way, provided he does not interfere with the equal right or every other man. He believed in the ability of the normal man to pursue happiness more successfully in his own way than in way dictated by Legislatures and political bosses. He emphatically denied the right of Congress CT any other gov ernmental agent of the people to pro- mote the happiness of selected indyid uals or classes at the expense of others
 The Populist, on the other hand, is a man who is always wanting government to do something for him; who is so lack ing ir self-reliance that he looks to the govc:.,rnent not as his agent, but as his guaruian and benefactor; who is SO much of a vagrant as to insist that the world" by which he means other people moro in dustrious and capable than himself ewes him living"

A NARROW vIFw.

The Boston Herald is paper of too much standing and intelligence to allow the blur of the negro to come over ts ought to have too much fairness to fall into the role of narrow sectionalism which dtsgraces some other Northern newspapers, but it is unfortunately biased by the same illiberal spirit. Re- ferring to the question of nominating a enough to disclaim any intention of un- derrating Southern statesmen, but says the real reason why a man from this sec tion should not be selected lis not be- cause these men belong to geographi- cal section, but because they are of a certain character and represent a type of statesmanship which does not stand broadly for the substantial ideals of American institutions-equal rights and equal opportunities secured by impartial laws justly enforced.
 This is simply charging that the states men or the South are not fitted to fill the Presidential office because they are not in favor of the equal rights of the races The Herald does not say so in so many words. but it's plain inference is that the really eminent men of Virginia and Geor- gia and Alabama and other Southern States are not fit for President because they maintain that white man is better than negro. That is what The Herald means and it would be much more credit able to it's intelligence if it would insist that no Southern man is great enough 70 be President of these United States. That would not be true, of course, but it would be better than the position it does take.

 Some of the Southern States will en- dorse Bryan and the Chicago platform when their conventions assemble, but happily the number will be small.

Falls From High Places.

Philadelphia Record: ]. G. Gaskill,
the young man in charge of the tower
clock of the city hall, is a student of
the subject Of falls from high places.
He has theorized a good deal in this
science, and he has also, by inadvert-
ence, gone through a number of prac-
teal experiments, having tumbled hcav-
ily three times, once from a height of
80 feet, and a third time from G2 feet.
His last and greatest fall did not even
bruise him. He arose from it and re-
sumed his work as though nothing had
happened. Yet he had alighted on a
pavement of concrete. He alighted.
however, on his side and shoulder, and
to come down in that way is, he claims,
an almost certain preventive Of serious
injury. To come down on the head is
death. To fall on the back is also death
nearly always. But he who. in falling,
manages so to twist himself as to come
down on his side and shoulder, will
pretty surely, according to Mr.. Gaskil,
escape serious harm.

snakes were thick in our absence, but
scarce in our presence. A snake must

that whereas he might put a lone man

ANGELICA ROOT.
A Return to Old English Taste In
Seasoning Dishes.

-
New York Post: There is a sort of
fad today for early English goods and
merchandise. The old poultry seasonings
are used more than ever, chamomilo
and chamomile tea are again in vogue
in the sick room, and the angelica plant
is for sale in the shops and stores.
Many years ago the angelica was ex-
ceedingly popular. The flowers were
employed to give sweet perfume to
clothes presses and bureau drawers, the
tender stalks were candied or preserved
and made palatable CONNECTIONS, the
leaves were used as pot herbs and the
roots, after washing and scraping, were
converted into medicinal tea. There Is
a difference between the English and
American angelica, the former being
smaller, more delicate and more aro-
matte. The herb now in the market is
the English variety; most of it i'm
ported, but a large amount comes from
this country. where the British plant
has been successfully acclimated.
All these old uses have been revived,
and some new ones added to them.
Among the latter may be mentioned
angelica cordial, which is made of light
sherry wine, macerated angelica leaves,
stalks and roots, and pure syrup made
from white sugar. The preparation
should be allowed to stand for 60 days,
and should be then squeezed through
a strong bag or else in a kitchen press.
The cordial is Of a pleasant brownish
color, with an agreeable taste and a
very rich odor. According to it's vot-
aries it makes a capital appetizer and
stomachic.
The stems, cut into small peces, boil
ed until soft, and then dipped in molten
sugar or in confectioners' cream, make
a pleasant demulcent that is quite eff
ficacious for light coughs or colds. The
leaves, chopped up with parsley, form
an agreeable dressing for lamb chops,
and when mixed with parsley and 9TH
er pot herbs, improve the flavor of a pot
roast.
It's most enjoyable use is undoubted-
ly as q chief ingredient in the potpourri
jar. The best combination is one-third
red rose leaves and two-thirds of an
gelica flowers and leaves cut fine with
a sharp knife. These should be placed
in a jar with a little salt, covered with
water, weighed down by a stone, and
then the jar itself should be covered
alright. In q short time the essential
oils of angelica will separate from the
vegetable tissue, and will give forth
perfume in almost unlimited quantities
whenever the cover of the jar is raised.
