American Pioneer One.eeut PsOer.

THE Philadelphia Record" which
recently observed it's twenty-sixth an
niversary as the pioneer one cent news
paper of America, claims the largest
circulation of any paper published in
Pennsylvania, and it's claim is without
doubt just one. The secret of this is
lOt hard to find. Throughout its en-
'Sd'e career "The Record" has combin-
ed certain spirit of conservatism with
progressive policy, and the result
has been a newspaper that inspires
end holds the confidence of its readers.
There is a vast deal of difference be-
tween conservatism and old-fog yism.
"The Record" is always keen, alert
and up to date, and never allows itself
10 become hysterical. The metropoli.
tan journals of to-day may be enter.
Drising to the point Of sensationalism.
and in the existing spirit of rivalry
may often overstep the bounds of de-
corum and good taste; but in this re-
spect THE Philadelphia Record" is
not sinner. tisalways sane, always
satisfying. Without half the fuss and
feathers. of some of its contemporaries,
il is not to be gainsaid.
1t is this authoritative confidence in
itself that has wrought confidence in
the general public and has been in
strumental in establishing its prestige.
Let us see what "The Record" says
about it," is a remark of frequent oc-
currence; and what 1.-THE Record" SAYS
is usually regarded as final and incon-
trovertible. The newspaper is still
largely moulder of public opinion, in
spite of the theorists, and while the
confidence Of the public may be shaken
IN some phases Of modern journalism,
shat class of which 1.-The PHILADELPHIA
Record" is fine type still survives,
and will continue to survive for good.
We could i'll afford to spare any of
them, least of all "The Record" A
long and prosperous life to Pennsyl-
vania's leading newspaper.

The excitement over the murder of
Miss Bishop apdthe burning of White,
q Frl murderer at the Gsqke, has
about quieted down and the good cit
izens are hoping for peace and tran
guilty. The bitter feelings that have
been engendered had stirred up Will
mington and vicinity to e passionate
race hatred the like of which was un-
paralleled in the history of the city.
For time the situation looked seri-
Gus and it was feared that the military
forces would have to be brought into
service. But we are glad to learn that
the city has become quiet and the po-
lice authorities are enabled to preserve
order. The disgraceful affair has
made Delaware notorious, but now
that the thing has happened the good
citizens of Delaware must live 1t down
as we'll as possible. But first let our
citizens uphold the majesty of the law,
for without law there can be nothing
but disorder, mob rule and anarchy.

Eta Jane Efchines.

ETA JANE, Nov. .2.--Since our
mail has been cut off from Union
that city seems to be about as far off
as New Iork-that is, its about as
easy to get a hearing from there as
from Union. This is quite an an
noyancc to people having dealings
with our neighbors on the other side
of Pacolet. Some who have dealings
with Kelton find it about as far off
as the city of Boston if we measure
the distance by the time it takes a
letter to go and return. We believe
in reform of the right kind, but not
such that interfere with the legiti.
mate business of the country.
Though its all plainly traeeable to
the loss of the Skull Shoals bridge
which ought to have been replaced
before now. Union county, we un-
derstand, has proposed long since to
replace the bridge but our own county
Of Cherokee is the one giving us the
reason to complain, We hope it
wont always be the case.

DEATH OF CEN. MCRADY.

year OF his age Of heart disease. As
q Confederate soldier he served with
distinguished gallantry from the be.
ginning to the end Of the war, in
which he was severely wounded, and
when peace was established, he still
devoted his energies to the services
Of his native State.
He introduced in the Legislature

he was also the author.
His history of South Carolina from
Its first settlement to the close of

carry his name down to future gen.
erstions.
In the church he was a pillar OF
strength, being devoted to it's inter.
ests and constant in it's services.

Reduced to the last analysis, there
will never be much fear Of the law or
any material checking Of crime until
juries do their duty. and that will be
only when the names Of the best men

them to take the first step toward
bringing about this much-needed re-
form. II good names are put into
the boxes good names will be drawn

In the elections last Tuesday the
row rvrr, uurryIug the city by a
plurality Of 63, 3,617. The contest was
one Of the most tiercely fought that
was ever known. Nearly every pull
pit and newspaper supported the
Fusion ticket, headed by the present
mayor, Seth Low. republican, and
there were several important seces-
sions from the democracy.
Col. Geo. B. Mcclellan, the demo-
cratic nominee for mayor, is son Of
Gen. Mcclellan, who commanded the
Federal army in the early part of the
war between the States, and is man
Of clean record, who will no doubt give
New York as good government as
she ever had.
This success restores the prestige
OF Tammany and will be of immense
advantage to the democrats in next
years presidential election.
Maryland has also been carried for
democracy by small plurality which
makes 1t safe in next years election.
Kentucky also went democratic,
Gov. Beckham being reelected by a
majority Of about 10000.
In Rhode Island, Gov. Irwin, dem
ocrat, is believed to be rejected.
In Ohio, Tom Johnson was badly
beaten by the Republicans.
10 all the other States in which
elections were held, no changes
occurred.

Everything points to the next
Confederate Reunion being held in
Charleston next spring. This will
be fine chance for the boys and
gents to visit the city by the sea, and
we hope many of them will be able
to do so. Every old veteran highly
appreciates the kindness and hospi-
tality of the people of Columbia who
did and still will do all in their
power to make the old soldiers and
their friends enjoy themselves. Yet
we hope the reunion will 90 to Char

sights to be seen arc greater in
Charleston than in Columbia, but
the welcome to the veterans, warm
as it will be, cant beat Columbia.

Orders have been Used by the act
ing Secretary of War to the command
ing officer of Jefferson barracks, Mo-,
to send regular troops armed with
loaded rifles to act rs an escort to
81, ,O00, 900 in gold and paper money
which has been shipped from here to
the United States Sub-Treasury in
ST. Louis, The money is to be hauled
in army wagons and not, as is Gus
tomary, in express wagons. This un-
usual action of the War Department
was taken at the instance of the
Treasury Department., and was the
outcome of conditions produced by
the run on St. Louis banks and n gen
eral strike Of teamsterS there. The
run on the banks produced an urgent
call for cash and when the Treasury
Department notified the express
companies, which have contracts to
ship money, the companies declared
that they could npt deliver 1t on ac-
count of the teamsters strike. In
this extremity the Treasury called on
the War Department. for army wag-
ons to haul the money and for troops
to guard them. Although the re-
quest was unusual and liable to bring
criticism on the War Department,
Acting Secretary Of War Oliver did
not hesitate to grant it. 1t is prob
able that his action will bring violent
denunciation from the teamsters,
and perhaps from labor unions gen
orally; but there is no fear of any in
reference with the. drivers .,at, t,ha
ed by an escort Of cavalry.

Of engineers, has asked for an appro-
priation of more than $40, 900, 900 for

The report has just been made pub
lie and includes estimates for the de-
fence of the Philippines and Hawaii.
1t asks for - 600, 900 for defenses in
the insular possessions. The other
millions are asked for the construc-
| tion OF gun and mortar batteries,
range and position finders, search
lights for harbor defenses, sea walls
and embankments, torpedo boats,
| etc. 1t says that the sea coast de-
fenses Of the United States are some
what more than so percent in com PIE
tion. twenty-five of the principal
harbors have sufficient number of
heavy guns and mortars to enable an
effective defense against naval at
tacks. Our island possessions are
however practically defenscless as far
as Notifications are concerned.
