The daily tribune., 1903-03-16
THE UNION TICKET.

The Tribune raises its flag today for
in an open convention made up of men
of all political castles, and of varied
factional affiliations. There were no
states to rush through or to break, no
dark corner caucusing and no button
holing. The full and free choice of n
in the Union ticket aud The Tribune
is pleased to lend it every support.
The manner in which the ticket
WAS made cannot fail to appeal to all
who believe ia fair politics, and the
personnel of the list OF candidates
will heartily commend itself to the
public.
1t is generally conceded that never
in the history of the city have we had
a man in the mayors chair who has
performed SO we'll the duties of his
office. Mr.. Macdonald is thorough
ability. and having acquired extensive
property interests in the city. he is
peculiarly fitted for the office which
he has filled so well for the past year.
The people will nnquestionably return
him to preside over the council for the
next two years.
The manner in which Mrs. f. b.
Ruddick AS city clerk and w. H. Ia
Dor as marshal have performed the
duties of their respective offices was
recognized by the convention as a
mark of special fitness, and the public
at large will give their candidacy
hearty endorsement.
The selection of Claude Cannon as
the nominee for police magistrate
could not have been stronger act of
wisdom Mr.. Cannon is a young man
Of excellent qualities and being handi-
capped in all his laudable pursuits by
being cripple. the office of police
magistrate could not be better be-
slowed than on him.
A. B. MaFall is the logical candi-
date for city engineer and his cleo
tion goes without saying.
For the Office of street supervisor
the Union ticket presents man who
is entitled to every favor which the
city of Florence can possibly bestow.
While IN the faithful discharge of his
duties as a laborer on the streets. Rob
ert Bastow was injured to such an ex-
tent that this city car never make
proper restitution. While for time
he was almost totally blind, the sight
of his remaining eye has now been
fully restored and he lis able to per-
form the duties of street supervisor in
an entirely satisfactory manner.
j. W. Yelton, who received the nom
ination for city treasurer is as safe a
man as could be found in the city,
fully qualified in all respects, and he
will be elected.
The Union ticket also presents list
of aldermen that could not be improv-
cd upon if the people were to search a
month. Not single one is a politi
clan: not one is an office seeker, and
all are free holders in the city.
All together, the Union ticket will
appeal to the upprejudiced rs the one
which should be the choice of this city
on election day, and there is no ques
ton but what that will be the result.

THE TOY PISTOL.

4hougk the returns are not all In.
slough Is known to establish the fact
that the mortality caused blythe toy piss
.oi during the recent holidays was as
treat as the fatalities In GONE Of the
modern wars
That there is link between this pistol
and tetanns, is4not TO be questioned. Up
10 day before yesterday. thirty-nine
keaths from locktaw. superinduced by toy
pistol wounds, received during the Christ
mas holidays. had been recorded in the
Southern States. Ia New York. and vi
csr.ty, just after the last Fourth
OF July celebration. there was an
epidemic OF tetanus from the same cause.
II we mistake not, the fatalities ran up
into the hundreds, and that experience
has been frequently referred to in con-
nection with the cases in Norfolk and
this city. as furnishing the first note
worthy one going to prove an intimate
and exceptional relation between the dread
disease and the toy that has in the past
two weeks changed merry making into
sorrow in SO many households. But this
is not true. Some years ago. the toy pis-
fol was in general use with the boys OF
Baltimore. and 80 many deaths from te-
.:anus followed wounds inflicted by it.,
that the police authorities forbade its
Gale.
s. What is the precise nature of the
link or relation is not certain; various
theories have been advanced. A Rich
mend physician who has had several Of
these unfortunate patients to treat as
cures us OF his belief that lock5aw is
brought about by the wounds being made
by. and to some extent. filled with. wood
pulp-that being the substance with
which the cartridges that he has seen is
made.
This wood pulp is shredded and then
eoStened by moisture where needed. and
ground into pasty condition. In most
Vases. our informant states. some minute
tplinters remain. and therefore. he thinks.
heesh wounds ought always, to be cleansed

& splinters are. present and not prompt

Wv. Sometimes the disease yields to the
lerum treatment. sometimes not.
Many States have passed laws prohibit
hg the sale Of these toy. pistols. and bills
sf like import have been introduced into
our General Assembly. we hope they
viii pass The manufacturers Of these
weapons of death are, however. the chief
offenders. and we should like to see them
reached Meanwhile. the press is the

pREs1pESTs SELF INTEREST,".

AS. the philadelphia Record sees It,
President Roosevelt stu!tifies himself s'
when he claims that his actien
with. respect to the Indiano!a post
ONCE case and the dictatorship Of
Charleston, is in the interest OF the
negro. The negro race. for the
Greater part, says our contemporary
lives in the South. and. is going to stay
there. and it is vastly more important
to the negroes to maintain amicable re-
1ations with the white people than to
nave. half dozen OF their number in
Federal offices.
The Record admits that the President
had an official right to nominate Crum
and that he might have had right to
close the Indianola post-of1ce, but both
acts.=it goes on to point ont tend to ir-
ritate the whites and create enmities be-
tween them and the negroes. Race preju-

Southern States, but wherever else the
white and the dark races come together,
and no man. it correctly aftirms. is a
wise friend of the negroes. who does any
thing to excite, and stimulate that preju-

This is an entirely defencible thrust
at Mr.. Roosevelt. But es matter OF
fact, we do not believe that in.his policy

actuated lin the slightest by interest in
