ROOSEVELT AND CRUM.

President Roosevelt seems deter
mined to have the negro, Crum,
confirmed rs Collector of Customs
at the port of Charleston, :. c.
The nomination was sent TO the
Senate last year. but the Senate
did not confirm it. During the
recess the negro continued to hold
the Office. Now, the President has
sent the nomination to the Senate
for the second time. If the Senate
fails to confirm it, the recess APP
pOintment will be made again. and
he will hold the office and draw the
salary whether the Senate wishes
1t or not. The people of Charles
ton are and have been opposed to
this nomination, but, true to his
determination to force the negro
on the South as an Office holder.
Roosevelt is going to see that Crum
holds the Office and gets the salary
Senate or no Senate. The only
thing that the people can do about
1T Is to remember Crum and Booker
Washington in 1904. A vote for
the Democratic nominee will guar
antee that no negro will be given
Office anywhere unless the majority
of the people are in favor of his
appointment. In speaking of the
South and the negro problem, Hon.
William r. Hearst has said. Let
the South Alone That is another
one of the many reasons why we
are so strongly in favor of Hearst
for President. We agree with him
that the South is best qualified to
work out the solution to this prob
lem, and in the course of that work
1t should be the aim of the Presi-
dent to Let the South Alone. -
Let us not forget to remember
Roosevelt. Crum and Washington
next November, and cast up such
a Democratic majority that even
that strenuous Rough Rider"
will feel and know and understand
his rebuke.

CLOSER RELATIONS ESTABLISHED.

A general order has been issued
10y Gen. John b. GOrden, COM
handing the United Confederate
Veterans, directing attention to the
report of the special committee
appointed TO formulate resolutions
which will establish closer relations
between the veterans and the
United Sons of Confederate Vete-
rams. The report recommends
that at all the reunions of the
United Confederate Veterans the
Sons of Veterans shall have the
full privileges of the floor, but
without the right to vote; that the
Veterans have similar privileges
at the conventions of the Sons"

IN VIRGINIA.

The following poem by Cnrran
a young newspaper man
IF Wheeling, West Virginia, which
was read at the Confederate Me-
mortal day exercises in Richmond,
Virginia, lis worthy of preservation:
The roses nowhere bloom so white.
As i'm Virginia;
The sunshine nowhere shines so bright
AS in Virginia.
The birds sing nowhere quite SO sweet
And nowhere hearts so lightly beat,
For heaven and earth both seem to meet
Down in Virginia.
The days are never quite so long,
As in Virginia;
Nor quite so filled with happy song,
AS in Virginia;
And when my time has come TO die.
Just take me lack and let me lie.
Close where the James goes rolling by
Down in Virginia
There nowhere is a land so fair,
As in Virginia;
So full of song, so full Of csre,
AS in Virginia;
And believe that happy land,
The Lord prepared for mortal man,
Is built exactly on the plan,
OF old Virginia.

HEARST In ALABAMA.

Since the Maryland election.
in which Senator German won a
victory on an issue, made boldly
and directly, that appeals to the
sympathy of the Southern Democ-
racy and white people generally in
that section, regardless of party,
the Maryland Senator has doomed
up conspicuously as the logical
candidate of the Democracy for
President in 1904" says Horace
Hood, editor of the Montgomery
(Ala.), Journal. Next to Cor
man stands Hearst in the affections
of the Democracy of Alabama,
and, thirdly. may be mentioned
Judge Parker, who is regarded
with great favor as compromise
man between the two elements of
the party.
All this talk about Cleveland
growing in favor in the South is
veriest political nonsense. Mr..
Cleveland has no support within
the party, but i understand the
Lily White Republicans are for
him as against Roosevelt, but not
as against Hanna. If Cleveland
should be the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party, and Roosevelt the
Republican nominee, | believe the
Lily Whites of the South would
support Cleveland. The Lily
Whites can't stand the Booker
Washington end of the Republican
party. They concede to Booker
Washington more influence with
the President than possessed by
any white Republican in the South.
and they may claim or protest
their loyalty to Roosevelt all they
will, but they will rend him when
the time comes. So far as Mr..
Cleveland is concerned the only
boomers he has in the South are
those who left the party with him
in 1896 and again in 1900. He
has had no recruits. There is not
single prominent man in the State
who opposed Cleveland in 1896
who is for him to-day. Among all
the nine Representatives in Con-
gress from this State, not one
would vote for him in the National
Democratic Convention; of the two
Senators neither one is for him.
