farmer who kept twenty-four cows and
two hired men tested his cows with
the Babcock test, and found that
eight were Improbable. He disposed
Of them and let one hired man go, and
at the end Of the year found that he

he has got down to twelve good cows,

OF the present statesmen Of Europe were
children. Elected as deputy to the
Spanish Cortes at the age of 80, Sc
nor Rios has held almost every posi-
tion Of political Importance in Spain.
He has proved himself a clever law
yer, an able orator, thorough diplomat
and a public servant whose patriot
ism and ambition for the success of
his country are beyond reproach.
Perhaps the most striking scenes of
the new leaders, career took place
while he held the portfolio Of minis
ter Of justice in Gen. Prim's cabinet
in 1869. From that high post he in
vestigated all branches Of the depart
ments under his Jurisdiction and
brought about reforms SO sweeping
that many thought the day Of judicial
revolution Tor spain was at hand. He
reformed the penal code by abolish
ing degrading punishments and the
effects Of interdiction, built over the
criminal procedure and transformed
the mortgage law from an unjust en-
actment into reasonable statute
His first term brought second, this
time during the reign of King ANA
deo l., Of Savoy, and when that mon
arch abdicated the throne he deliver
ed farewell address composed and
written by Senior Rios.
When the republic was proclaimed
he retired to private life, returning to
it, however, on the restoration OF the
Bourbon dynasty. He became a sena-
tor and subsequently held the post of
minister Of justice, minister Of public
instruction and president Of the Sen
ate.
In spite Of his advanced age Senor
Rios is one Of the hardest workers
among Spanish public men.

If scalding is properly done and

1t is customary with many to leave

After the Negro Vote.
(From The Memphis News.)

fTOW lue MeLlpuiS 'ANO"o'J
The negro plank of the republican
national platform cannot fail to revive
the negro question as red hot polit-
ical issue. The language of the plank
if vague and indirect, yet it is suffi-
GENTLY explicit to arouse impossible
hope in the negro and incite racial
antagonism and ill-will. While the
spirit and purpose of the plank is
contemplate, an insult to Anglo-Saxon
manhood and threatening to the best
interests of the south, it is in itself
euuivocal almost to the point of being
meaningless. In the first place, it is
plain that if the elective franchise OF
the state is unconstitutionally limited
that is question for the supreme
court of the United States to deter
mine. Therefore, according to the
plank, no congressional action is to be
taken until after the courts have acted
and after the courts have acted, obvi-
ously there would be no excuse for con-
gressional action. The truth is, the
elective franchise cannot be "uncon-
additionally limited" without the
consent of the supreme court, and
the republican party is not yet ready
to challenge the supreme court as not
the proper tribunal to construe the
constitution of the United States
For this reason we think the platform
starts out with a premise which con-
demns it as deceitful and insincere
In spite of this, however, it will do its
devils work in disseminating race
prejudice and hatred.

A Crisis at Hand.
From The Buffalo Express.

(From The Buffalo Express.)
There can be no doubt that a crisis
Is at hand in the Far East. The pres
sure of the Japanese upon Port
Arthur, and of their northern armies
upon Kuropatkin, of itself makes the
situation critical. The rainy season is
here, with its embarrassment to mill
tary operations, and this has atendency
to hasten japanese movements. Then
the activity of the Port Arthur squad
ron and the. disturbing raids of the
Vladivostok squadron tell their story
of anxiety on the Russian side. Now
comes word fran Chefoo that the
Russians at Port Arthur are putting
the place in shape for the final strug-
gle. Most of the remaining foreigners
RaAe been ordered to leave, stores have
been closed and the port has finally
assumed the appearance of a city IN
close siege. All Russians subjects, it
is reported, have been assigned to
share in the defense. All these facts
are significant of struggle close at
hand-of a battle or perhaps Two

Athletics and Scholarship.
(From The New York World.)


Another farmer boy comes to the
front in the commencement season az
the winner of college honors. Warren
E. Schutt, the Cornell junior who has
been selected to hold q Cecil Rhodes
scholarship at Oxford. was born in a
farmhouse, educated in a country
school and prepared for college ut
the Ithaca school. An interesting
thing about Schutt is that while rank.
ing high in scholarship he became
his university's representative athlete
1.-THE greatest cross. country runner
ever turned out at Cornell, and the
Emile intercollegiate champion. He
is captain of the Cornell track team.
Schutt's record should do much to
counteract the prevalent impression
that college athletes are deficient in
student qualities. 1t is an erroneous
impression. The college athlete is
not often either an idler of a member
of the "fast set'. 1t has been shown
at Oxford and Cambridge that athletic
prominence is not incompatible with
proficiency in scholarship, and In
this country a census of graduating
classes would reveal oarsmen aud foot
ball heroes we'll up on the honor list.

and selfcontrol which
make for success in sports frequently

THE DAILY MAIL
Poking Fun at Charleston's Expense.

now, claiming that the fortunes an(
business of the old city would improve
thereby.
The News and Courier resents this
and with good right. Surely tht
achievements of no people in the South
have been greater or more honorable
in the past than the achievements OF
people of Charleston. Charleston peo-
pie have every right in the world to
talk about their past, and to feel proud
of it, and it is in bad taste for anybody
to reprove or make sport of them fol
it.
But Charleston people can also talk
about Charleston at present, as the
News and Courier urges them to do.
Charleston is an important city, and a
great deal of business of various kirds
is done the re-more than some people
seem willing to give credit for.
This editor has been more or less
familiar with Charleston for several
years. On recent visit we were graft
fed to find more confident and united
spirit among representative men than
we have known before. The CONNER
cial and manufacturing business of the
city is growing, they say, and there is
q greater and growing determination
on the part of Charleston people of all
classes to work for Charleston.
Charleston has caught the Spirit
that pervades other communities, and
Charleston is not only going to keep
pace with the march of progress, but
she is keeping pace with it now.
Charleston is growing, and the records
of the port and the banes and the rail-
roads show it.
There is nothing in the Charleston
of today for anybody, in or out of Char
lesion, to feel ashamed of or make
sport of. On the contrary there is
much to admire and commend. There
is business strength and solidity, and
there is growth and progress. The
drainage of the swamp lands near the
city means great deal, and the new
spirit of unity and concert of action
and push among the people means
great deal more. Charleston is all
right, and the man who worries about
her is simply wasting his emotions.
We endorse the News and Courier's
idea that Charleston people ought to
"talk Charleston more than they do,
but we are quite willing for them to
talk about the "past" all they want
to. 1t a glorious past, and the whole
State feels pride in it. And talking
about it will not do any harm; on the
contrary it will stimulate young Char
lestonians to greater efforts for the city
of their fathers.

Swallow for the Presidency.
From The TrOy Press.)

Miles refused to be swallowed by
the prohibitionists, and so they de-
cided to swallow Swallow. Swallow
never swallows a drop of drink
stronger than ginger tea, and is pre-
sumably ignorant of the proverbial
significance of the invitation to
"Take q swallow" Swallow would
like to wing bis way to the white
house chimney, but he will have q
disappointing dose to swallow instead
next November. Swallow is bold
campaigner, however, and never
swallows his wrath when he has q
chance to spit it out on the stump.
Here's such success to Swallow as
Swallow may succeed in scoring.
